By Shanie Matthews | Sunday, April 28, 2024

Get ready, Tahoe! The ultimate fiesta is coming to town with the upcoming Cinco de Derby and Derby de Mayo events happening May 4 and 5 at both locations of Lake Tahoe AleWorX and The Cocktail Corner. These events are guaranteed to kick your weekend festivities into high gear.

If you're unfamiliar with AleWorX and The Cocktail Corner, here's the scoop. South Lake Tahoe has always been a craft beer kind of a place, even before microbrew was a buzzword. And for craft beer in this neck of the woods, Lake Tahoe AleWorX is the place. Right in the middle of the action in the Stateline casino corridor, Lake Tahoe AleWorX's Stateline location serves an ever-rotating selection of specialty craft beers and cocktails along with wood-fired pizza, small bites, fresh salads and desserts. They are most known at this location for their nightlife that's been voted Best Night Scene for the Tahoe area for several years in a row. You can expect a party when you arrive at Lake Tahoe AleWorX Stateline, and this weekend is no exception.

The Lake Tahoe AleWorX Taproom at the Y has a more family-friendly appeal. It features local craft brew with a self-serve concept that allows customers to pour for themselves, delicious wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, salads and an atmosphere that is pure High Sierra. This location opens to a large patio that features fire pits and frequent live music for guests to enjoy. The patio is shared by its sister restaurant, The Cocktail Corner, where guests can enjoy a craft cocktail and food. 

Now, about those Cinco De Derby and Derby De Mayo events. Here's how both locations of AleWorX and The Cocktail Corner are planning to celebrate.
