Our Story

The legend of Tessie is getting amped up. Inspired by the folkloric serpent that has made Lake Tahoe home for centuries, Tessie's Cocktails and Chords is where live music and legend intersect. The bustling heartbeat of Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe, Tessie's blends a thriving electric soundtrack with timeless design, deep-couched comfort, and elevated craft cocktails. Antique mahogany, modern furnishings, and rugged South Tahoe flair create a warm, welcoming backdrop to this rock and roll haven, where guests get lost in the music and the mythos.

Our Philosophy

The perfect nightcap to a powder-filled day on the slopes or a sun-drenched afternoon on the water, Tessie's offers a creative cocktail program featuring curated spirits and an extensive beer and wine list. A platform for talented musicians from across the region, Tessie's turns up the volume on what a cocktail lounge can be. Seven nights a week, live music fills the room. The only question is who you are bringing with you.

THE EXPERIENCE

Tessie's is not a bar you walk past. It's a room you walk into and forget to leave. A stage that pulls you back every Thursday, every Friday, every time the band kicks in and the night takes over. Whether you're here for an afternoon cocktail, Faded Karaoke on a Tuesday, Sailing Club on a Thursday, or a full band tearing it up on the weekend, the room delivers. Great drinks, live music, and a staff that takes care of you from the first round to the one you didn't plan on ordering. This is what a night out is supposed to feel like.
