About Tessie's

The legend of Tessie is getting amped up. Inspired by the folkloric serpent said to have made Lake Tahoe home for centuries, Tessie’s Cocktails & Chords is a live music bar in South Lake Tahoe where music, cocktails, and legend intersect.

Located inside Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe, Tessie’s blends an electric soundtrack with timeless design, deep-couched comfort, and rugged South Tahoe character. Antique mahogany, modern furnishings, and rock ’n’ roll energy create a warm, welcoming backdrop where guests can settle in and get lost in the mythos.

An ideal nightcap after a powder-filled day on the slopes or a sun-drenched afternoon on the water, Tessie’s offers a creative cocktail program featuring distinctive spirits alongside an extensive beer and wine list.

With live music at the heart of the experience, Tessie’s gives emerging and established musicians a stage while turning up the volume on the classic cocktail bar. For live music in Lake Tahoe, cocktails, and late-night energy, Tessie’s is where the night keeps going.
