The Mountain Room Lounge

Large bar in a great location right in the middle of the valley and next to the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Serves great drinks and food in a beautiful ambience surrounded by mountains, waterfalls and nature.

So we never ordered food or drinks here (vegan options are limited and some of the other spots more) BUT we bought s'mores makings (marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, AND skewers) in the gift shop and the mountain room let us fry marshmallows over their fire. Sounds like this was previously interrupted for unattended children around the fire, so play nicely and hopefully it will continue. Just what we needed after a long day of hiking and sharing a lot. The staff was super friendly, especially considering that we were not there to eat or drink. I will also note that we were there in low season if this is limited if they are more business. Never hurt to ask!

Great place to eat and drink while in Yosemite. The food options are quite cool and very light, so do not expect a heavy meal. We had bread and tacos, the big portions were We went on a Saturday and the place was packed with roommates and visitors, but the service was still great food is affordable and does not take long to arrive. I loved the fire, the cozy interior and the history in the lounge

A very relaxing atmosphere to catch a drink after a hot day hiking or climbing. An entire side full of windows allows a great view of the outdoor area.
