Rojo's Tavern

RoJo's Tavern, a beloved establishment in picturesque South Lake Tahoe, continues to be a favorite among locals and a sought-after destination for visitors. Originally constructed in the 1920s/30s by Frank Globin as a multifaceted hub featuring a gas station, grocery store, bar, restaurant, and hotel, this historic building has evolved into the iconic RoJo's Tavern known today. Steeped in history, RoJo's Tavern has witnessed significant events, from the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics to the founding of South Lake Tahoe in 1965.
