SUMMER CONCERT AFTER PARTIES AT TESSIE'S
Your guide to rocking the official after-party at Tessie's Cocktails and Chords all summer long.
You've been to the show. You've sung every word, lost your voice somewhere between the second song and the encore, and now you're standing in the Caesars Republic parking lot with the bass still buzzing in your chest and the night is still young.
That's exactly where Tessie's Cocktails & Chords comes in. Located steps from the amphitheatre inside Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe, Tessie's is your official after-party headquarters all summer long. Live music. Handcrafted cocktails. A room full of people who are still riding that concert high, just like you.
The Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre at Caesars Republic has been the home of the acclaimed Summer Concerts since 2000, drawing some of the biggest names in music to one of the most scenic outdoor stages on earth, 7,000+ seats under open skies with the Sierra Nevada as your backdrop. This summer's lineup is the best yet, and very single show night, Tessie's will be right there waiting for you.
The Show Ends: The Night Doesn't
"The best concerts don't end when the last chord fades — they keep going. At Tessie's, the night is just getting started."

Why Tessie's Is the Perfect After-Party
There's no better seat in South Lake Tahoe after a big show than a reserved table at Tessie's with your crew while a live band keeps the energy going. Here's what you can expect every concert night:
Live music, all night.
Tessie's has live solo artists starting at 8pm and full bands taking the stage at 10pm — so when you walk in from the amphitheatre, the music never stops.
Craft cocktails built for celebration.
Handcrafted drinks inspired by the Sierra Nevada — from signature house pours to classic crowd-pleasers. Your BOGO cocktail is waiting the moment you walk in with your ticket stub.
Steps from the stage.
Tessie's is located inside Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe. You don't need a car, a rideshare, or a plan. Just walk in. The night handles itself from there.
VIP tables available.
Want to reserve a table for your crew before the show? We've got you. VIP reservations will be open soon. Sing up to stay in the loop and be the first to lock in your spot so you're not scrambling after the encore.
Open late, every night.
Tessie's keeps the lights on and the music loud! The end of the amphitheatre set is just the intermission, not the finale.
Don't Miss These Nights
Every show night is worth celebrating, but a few in particular are going to be especially electric at Tessie's.
Eric Church (July 15 & 16)
Two nights of outlaw country to Caesars Republic and two nights of legendary after-parties to Tessie's. If you're in town for both, your table is waiting both evenings.
Train (August 25)
The hits that defined a generation, joined by Barenaked Ladies and Matt Nathanson for a stacked night. Three artists worth celebrating and one great bar to do it in.
Koe Wetzel (July 24)
One of the most electrifying live performers in music right now. His shows famously go hard from start to finish. The crowd that follows him into Tessie's is going to be exactly the same way. Book your table early for this one.
Jack Johnson (September 6)
Closes out the summer on the most mellow, beautiful note imaginable. There's no better way to end a perfect Tahoe summer night than with good cocktails and good music at Tessie's. Who know who may end up on stage.
