Surf’s up! There’s nothing like bringing a bit of the beach to the mountains. Aloha is more than a word at Jake’s On the Lake. It’s a state of mind. Beginning January 19, the Tahoe City lakefront eatery offers up its version of a beach party every Tuesday evening.

Speak softly and wear a loud shirt. The atmosphere, part hama’aina (or beach house), part rustic mountain lodge, takes on the look and fevered pitch of a tropical island luau. From 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., it’s axiomatic to discover a wonderful collection of customers wearing Hawaiian shirts and enjoying one of Tahoe’s favorite apres-ski parties.

Mountain Aloha Tuesday offers a Polynesian themed menu including sashimi, poke rolls, pineapple burgers and other favorites. Discounted drink specials feature Kimo's Mai Tai's. Jake’s also offers its daily Happy Hour until 6:30pm (select cafe menu items and select drinks specially priced).

Throughout the evening, patrons may purchase raffle tickets in hopes of winning lift tickets, skis, snowboards, logo wear and other prizes donated from local Tahoe merchants and resorts. Raffle proceeds benefit the Tahoe Adaptive Ski School (Disabled Sports USA Far West chapter located at Alpine Meadows). Mountain Aloha Tuesdays raised up to $7,000 on behalf of this wonderful ski school program in recent years.

Mountain Aloha Tuesdays is sponsored by Alpine Meadows Resort, Homewood Mountain Resort and other local merchants.

Jake’s On the Lake is located at 780 North Lake Boulevard in the Tahoe City Boatworks Mall. Featuring fresh seafood, steaks and creative cuisine, Jake’s serves lakeside dinners nightly and lunches on the weekends. Jake’s offers discounted café menu and drink specials from 4:30pm to 6:30 p.m. nightly except Saturdays.
