Ask just about anyone to show you the way to Mammoth Lakes’ favorite local hangout and you’ll have your answer in no time flat: the Clocktower Cellar. Located across from the Village Gondola in a cozy spot underneath the Alpenhof Lodge’s clock tower.

Owned and operated by brothers Kirk and Robert Schaubmayer. The Clocktower has been part of the Mammoth Lakes bar scene since 1993. It started as a tavern just serving beer and wine. Needing an angle, Kirk and Robert kept adding taps till they ran out of room. The draft selection topped out at 31 until the day came when they acquired a different license enabling them to sell spirits. To make room for that they lost 5 taps but gained over 160 selections of whiskey. Not a bad trade...

They also spot a Tornado Foosball Table for any of the sport lovers.
