Question Nightlife in Incline and Young Adults

I’m a 24M who comes to Tahoe regularly, but I’m usually with family so I don’t really go out much or know a lot of people. I came up by myself this time and was curious as to any leads to meet people around my age. I’ve gone to the paddle wheel and the Hyatt a few times but people are usually older there. Rookies was fun, but I hear it closed.

Note: Beach suggestions are also welcome. I went to kings beach but mostly saw families there.

Oof. The north lake nightlife dried up a few years ago. There's paddlewheel in incline that's a dive bar, or the grid in kings beach l, but they just dumped some money into the place and I haven't gone in since. Could be trying to deter the younger crowds, idk. CBC still has music there, but pretty dead otherwise.

Truckee is probably your best bet if you're trying to bar hop. You can start at old Town tap or moodys or bar of America, then work your way to the middle. Tclub and pastime still pop off.

Even when I moved to Tahoe 25 years ago Incline was known to be sleepy. The Hyatt had occasional shows back then but kind of quit doing that. It’s always been about South Shore for parties N Lake for families. The Biltmore before its demise was a scene and CBC when it had a decent show.

Crystal Bay has a concert about once a week. It’s usually, but not always, a tribute band. Coming up are tributes to The Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd and a bluegrass version of Pink Floyd. Last week was Mustache Harbor, a yacht rock band, and about a month ago was “Not Green Day”. Both great!
