Noel's Coffee & Apothecary

Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you; there's a great cocktail bar in here. The menu is interesting and the bartenders are talented. The only issue here is the price, frankly. $22-25 per cocktail is wild, even for Tahoe. Lots of people mention the mandatory cover charge for live music also; we didn't have a cover, as there wasn't anyone performing at the time. If you tacked on another $15 per person to our experience, I would've dropped another star from this review. It was worth checking out, but I'm not sure we'll be coming back considering the price. There are other places a short walk away with good vibes and cocktails for far less.

Really cool vibe inside. Felt like a speakeasy. Great craft cocktails.

It's the only upscale cocktail lounge in the area and sure they will charge for that ($20 min per drink). The drinks are good, but not great. For that price, I would expect some wow factors. Nonetheless, it's dark, quiet, well decorated, and nice. I would recommend a stop.

Had a coffee in the early morning. My chai tea was absolutely delicious. Better than Starbucks for the same price. Very soothing atmosphere for an early morning break from the casinos lol. Went back at lunch time to hear live music and relax again. Very good service good coffee and cocktails.

Experience Noel’s: where history, amazing drinks, and top-notch service come together. With its cool vibe, awesome cocktails and friendly staff, it's the perfect spot for an unforgettable night out.

Atmosphere was definitely different than the normal south lake Tahoe experience. Cocktails were good (with larger pours), slightly inconsistent from one to the next the $15 is annoying, but makes sense in 2 parts. 1) goes towards the musician, 2) keeps out the riff-raff One thing i didn't appreciate was the gratuity baked on top of the $15/person cover I really hope more unique places like this arrive and stay in SLT, however i worry about the longevity of a place like this
