RateBeer Brew Tour Guide's Comments
Babe’s is a classy barb-b-que restaurant, featuring applewood smoked ribs served in a plush Chicago steakhouse style surrounding. The bar area is small. They brew 6 of their beers on site which have fared well at the GABF. Recent successes have been a Schwarzbier and a full bodied brown ale. The headbrewer, Hans Johnson, splits his time between this location and PH Woods in Moreno Valley.

cddc16 (1), Apple Valley, California does not count - explanation | | August 29, 2008 I loved babe’s. great food, great service, great atmosphere, I’ll definately go back | drbassett (1), does not count - explanation | | January 10, 2008 I went to Babes for dinner with a friend. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich it was smelled bad so I asked for it to switched to the brisket sandwich. It was cold. Needless to say, my stomach couldn’t take the food thus I became sick the soon after eating. If you like cold and smelly food, then I would highly recommend Babe’s Bar-B Que Grill. | CarBizIndio (1), indio, California does not count - explanation | | October 20, 2007 I got sick off of there brewed beer, they stopped selling it after my complaint and the manager wouldn’t give me a refund. Please go some where else. This place should be shut down.
| | JohnC (79), Mission Viejo, California | | April 15, 2007 Babe’s is a BBQ and brewpub place in Rancho Mirage at 111 & Bob Hope in "The River" shopping center. I really enjoyed the place. The decor is rustic, but tasteful and it was very comfortable inside. It was clean and upscale from a typical BBQ joint.
The service was excellent. The people friendly and the BBQ was great. I highly recommend this place.
AFA the beer, we had a sampler of their house beers:
Honey Blonde: A solid representation of the style. A thirst quencher, which is what you need in the desert.
29 Palms Pale Ale: A pretty decent APA
Spring Lager (Maibock): Tasty and malty. Very good
Drunk’n Monk (Trippel): pretty darn good
Blackfin Lager: A schwarzbier that was spot on and great w/ BBQ | | ABUSEDGOAT (57), California | | May 12, 2006 Well, Hans is back. This is my first time here and it was a pretty good experience. I might come off biased because I came here after a 2 hour hike in 100 degree weather, but whatever. Selection of their beers was: IPA, APA, blonde, schwartz, and a pilsner. Food was fine, I had a pizza despite 90% of the menu being ribs/pork/bbq. Worth going to after a hot day for sure. Bartender was great. | | BeerLimey (76), California | | April 5, 2005 Read my description above for the most part. This is the only place that brews its own beer out here in the So Cal desert, but they really don’t take it seriously. The schwarzbier is year round which is very good while there’s usually one other decent choice among the rotation beers. Service is decent, as is the food although bbq is not my thing. Bar is pretty much integrated to the restaurant so it really stands as a restauarant bar not a bar bar. I’ll pop in every once in a while to try whatever’s new but overall this place is a little disappointing, especially since they did away with the full time brewer. |
