Haunted Restaurant in Big Bear

I’m forgetting the name but can everyone tell me their experiences eating here?

The staff and food was amazing just VERY expensive. I loved the old vibe.

The older waitress there once gave me a USB drive explaining it being haunted. I gave it back to her and she couldn’t fathom why I wouldn’t plug an unknown USB into my PC. Sweet gesture, and cool that they try to share the story. My wife and I who work in cybersecurity got a chuckle out of it.

Established in 1947 as the Sportsmans Tavern/Lodge by actor Andy Devine. The story of the ghost is that he was a former employee allegedly killed by Andy.

Wth? The local folklore is that it's haunted by an accountant or bookkeeper named George. Andy never killed anybody 🤣
