“Visited after our first convention back in 2018. Played Catan, eat pizza and had some drinks. Great time.“

“Not just Axe throwing.. many don’t know that the basement has Cornhole, beer pong, basketball, jenga FauN times!!“

“We come here weekly for trivia, as well as occasionally to meet up with friends or even get some work done when I need a change of scenery working from home. KJ has been the best bartender whenever we’re in. She makes you feel welcomed when she greets you, is always showing new comers how to use the card system to pour their drinks, and is attentive and friendly! We love the village well and especially love KJ!“

“This magic show was amazing. First time my kids been to a magic show and she was blown away and so was I. Best present I could have given my kid for being student of the week. I highly recommend go to this show and take the kids. The way he interacted with the audience was next level. We are still smiling and a lose for words. Great memories. Thank you Chase and his amazing wife for bringing this to Reno.“

“What a cool Pub!
The owner Ron is super nice and welcoming. It felt like we had known Ron for years, we got to share stories, and enjoy a perfectly poured Guinness.

The choice on whiskey is lovely, but we stuck to Powers.
Cody is a superb bartender! You will never have an empty glass in this watering hole.
Overall this was a wonderful experience, and we’ll be returning as much as possible.
LOVE the live music, atmosphere, and staff!

This truly made us feel like we were back in Ireland!🇮🇪🥰“

“First time at press start today and the owner is incredible. Amazing selection at the bar, pizza slices and snacks. I didn’t know I had a pinball addiction until I was driving home and already wanted to go back.“

“So much fun and the drinks are amazing! I recommend the espresso martini and the mint cookie drink with an extra shot!“

“My dinner is so amazing I had the Truffle and macaroni and cheese with mushroom amazing I had I'm eating the baked chicken right now off the wall experience so far the service the clientele the atmosphere is unexpectedly amazing and I got to say this is the reason why I keep coming back food is amazing the people are top-notch they are very professional everybody from water the bread girl and the bussers asking if I need my table wiped off and if I needed another towel another fork or spoon or taking away my side dish I could never ask for anything more especially on my birthday today they made my birthday just outstanding. Monica the hostess is amazing she knows my name and just awesome the maitre d remember is my face and name so I'm just astounded and even the bread girl Austin made my day and remembering my face and name kudos to the staff at Roxy's Eldorado in Reno Nevada“

“Underworld Distillery is my only "go to" for great spirits, loads of laughter and lots and lots of fun! The atmosphere, the cocktail selection and the Baristas is why I keep coming back.“

“I don't really venture out much anymore but had decided while being in Reno to try this establishment because of the reviews. Let me just say they were not wrong. The wine choices were excellent and the food was just as good especially the crab cakes! Everything was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was very laid back. I met Amanda and Chef David as well as others there who very much welcoming. I'll end by saying if you're looking for a place to go and you're a long way from home, like I was from Ohio, don't hesitate to go here. You'll be glad you did and you'll probably end up going back!“

“The atmosphere is perfect - fun and lively but you can still hear what the people at your table are saying. I really appreciated the zero-proof options (and the Spray Tan non-alcoholic drink was deliiish). We stayed for 3 rounds, but the cocktails were $16-20/person and the zero-proof $10-15/person“

“This place ulis the best and I dont even drink! Taylor is hands down best, funnest and cutest bartender in Reno. She always makes me the most creative and fantastic mocktails and the var itself has a great vibe with chandeliers couches and a taxidermy buffalo!“

“A fun place to meet friends!“

“Reno's only true underground scene starts and ends here.“

“went here for the 1st time and it was pretty good. Only complaint some of the sauces they try to be cute with them and it ruins it. like Siracha in the Tartar Sauce for their fish and chips. I will never get that because of that. They put Tabasco in their Thousand Island that is stupid. But nice atmosphere good service and you can play Trivia that was fun. I had the pastrami it was good but I wanted regular Thousand island for it so that sucked. next time burger or Meatball Sandwhich“

“Hell yeah bad ass bar. Z served me some good recommended cocktails and the service was quick. They have a nice patio outside with a fireplace if youre kickin it outside. Also got draft beer from local breweries and domestic. Music was great as well. Siiick“

“Came in for coffee and may have just had the best coffee of my life. Lavender/Honey/Oat pour over by Sarah! Absolutely my new favorite coffee place in Reno.“

“Best dive bar in Reno! Friendly Bartender, fun locals, great pool players!“

“Outstanding burger at a great price and our hostess was super sweet. Non-alcohol drink prices were very reasonable, too! The veggies for the burger were so fresh that I had to comment about them to our server. It was so good we are going back tonight!“

“Great bar and amazing drinks!!! I will be back ❤️“

“Such a great local hangout. We needed it!!!!“

“Joey at the Royce is the best bartender in Midtown by far! Burgers 🍔 are unbelievable too.“

“LOVE Red rock! It's a cute 2 story bar that has personality. There is provocative local art on the walls for sale, and I always want to buy one. The best fear of Red Rock is its downstairs pool and dart room. I've met fine friends and new acquaintances hanging out at Red Rock. Give it a try!“

“Excited to perform! It’s an honor! Great venue! Good energy!“

“the environment and music are great the bartender nick has some great jokes for an open minded person whatever you do stop by give them a chance“

“I just wanted send out a big thank you to Brewers Cabinet Production brewery. We celebrated my wife’s 30 retirement from nursing. This venue is reasonable, and a class act. Plenty of space, fantastic beer selection. Bathrooms to accommodate a large crowd. Thanks again to the wonderful bar tenders and staff. Cheer“

“It's the shizzle nizzle! First bar I went to when i moved Reno, been going back for the past 16 years!“

“LOVED this bar! 34 beers on tap, so you have "endless" choices and plenty ways to find a new favorite, each time you visit. Full bar and excellent staff! Happy hour, trivia night, and they have 7 TVs to watch whatever sports you want (NFL right now!). Atmosphere is classy/casual and honestly, if this place served food, it would be perfect. No wonder their Google profile says, "It's probably the best bar in the world.". I believe it.“

“Had fun playing corn hole“

“We were in Reno for bowling Nationals and stopped to check the selection. Great selection. Owner is knowledgeable and a great person to converse. His knowledge of the products is excellent. I will return on my next trip to Reno. Highly recommend this business. Shop local!“

“I love this place! It’s so welcoming and warm and the bar tenders (Allie and Holly) are superior. I’ve met others here that I’ve become close friends with (Dalton 😂). I’m so excited to be a regular here, one of best watering holes in Reno“

“I had the best time!!! I am an aesthetician and my clients name is Loren she runs this bar I went in to visit her and oh my goodness I had the best time the ambience was great Benji was behind her coming in after her and man oh man the service was incredible he definitely knows how to pump up a crowd and keep it going from what Loren already started. I definitely will be coming back here I can’t believe she has been my client this long and it has taken me this long to come in I’ll definitely be back!!! Loren thank you!!! FTP. also Super excited for the new locations because that is right by my house ! and they have 805 Cerveza on tap that’s a huge win!!!“

“Had the cranberry kickback drink and it was DELICIOUS!! The owners are a married couple so it’s a family business. Definitely feels like a warm welcoming place. Not too hard on the pocket book either. A tad off the beaten path but WORTH the visit!! Close to wild orchard and all the other wonderful Midtown restaurants. Spacious too! Open windows. Just overall a very lovely place.“

“Came in on a quiet Thursday, met Sean, the bartender, who I also found out was the owner. He was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Their bottled beer list is phenomenal, as are the cocktails. Truly a unique experience and one I would highly recommend.“

“Quaint " dive" bar. Pleasant bartender,In fact, very pleasant bartender. A few bar top poker machines, 1 pool table & a juke box. What more can ya ask for?!? Oh yes, the purple bathroom was clean. However, no lock on the stall door. I assume mostly regulars around there, and they're not top worried about privacy ?“

“great fun bar experience for all“

“🍻❤️ best place to grab a drink!“

“This is a great midtown bar with tons of charm, a very cool vibe and a ton of fun to drink at especially with a group of friends. Service is friendly and they have tons of beers and liquor to choose from and even a few that are hard to come by anywhere including brews like Pliny the Elder. Gaming is available at the bar but they also have a pool table and tons of seating outside in the patio and it's where my friends and I prefer to chill on a warm summer day. While there isn't a ton of parking in the lot behind the establishment, there is street parking available and plenty more across the street. Of course, there are tons of places to dine at and within a short walk in just about any direction.

Parking: While there isn't a ton of parking in the lot behind the establishment, there is street parking available and plenty more across the street.“

“The atmosphere was fantastic, the Bloody Marys were excellent, and the food and owners were wonderful. I highly recommend visiting and enjoying the delicious food and drinks.“

“Amazing venue for local musicians and great staff. Come out and support live music scene.“

“This is hands-down my absolute favorite bar in Reno. The ambiance, the drinks, the eclectic crowd… It’s a revival of the old school vibes Reno is so adept at embodying. Behind the bar, Nick, nearly without fail, always greets me and my friends by name, making us feel that hometown love and he makes a wicked good cocktail to boot. He is DEFINITELY the best part of the bar! The outdoor patio is so much fun in the summer and there is an amazing crowd, great music and a warm, welcoming feel every. single. time.“

“Finding a high-energy LGBTQ+ space in Reno isn't always easy, which is why OTC Bar & Nightclub is such a vital anchor for our local nightlife. It is more than just a bar—it’s a true community hub where you can feel at home and be your authentic self. The vibes are consistently welcoming, and the staff does a fantastic job of ensuring everyone has a safe, incredible time. So grateful to have this gem in town!“

“Always nice customer service. Friendly place to go“

“I recently moved to Reno and am quite surprised that there aren't a lot more restaurants or bars with views of the river and/or mountains. There's only a very small handful of places downtown you can actually see the river from for example and it's completely ludicrous to me that 50 S Virginia St on the River (North of Pioneer Center) they put a parking lot between the building and the river.

But I digress, I managed to find this gem of a place with a rooftop bar. You can't see the river of course but it has a nice view of the surrounding neighborhood and Downtown area. Bartender was very friendly, made great drinks. It was uncrowded on a Saturday night at 7 as most people apparently come for the DJ later. So if you want a laid back atmosphere, you can hang out in the early evening and if you want some night life you can come later.

They do not have food so bring take-out from your favorite restaurant if you want to eat. If they at least had small bar food menu with some good bar food I'd give it 5 stars but the lack of food and the view being nice but not spectacular, this is a solid high 4 stars.“

“I love the energy and sincerity that the owner has for helping all his patrons. He always has a great selection of drinks for everyone’s palate. I totally recommend stopping in to grab a class or bottle, then go sit and have some food at an adjacent restaurant. Again so friendly and welcoming and attentive!“

“Had a blast playing pool and shuffleboard with family. Awesome bartender! Incredible view!“

“Fun and comfortable atmosphere. Great people and nice bartenders. Khesandra, sweet and good with everyone. She has a eclectic taste in music always good tunes on the juke box. She also runs a pool tournament every Friday night at 7pm. She works Tuesdays, Thursday and Friday day shift and Alan very funny and good people. He works Sunday and Monday nights.“

“Great ”locals" bar. Everyone is very laid back. Have a tremendous selection of beer. From local to overseas.Their liquor selection(mostly whiskey) is a little to be desired, but the bartenders(who are extremely friendly) can make you anything you'd like.Seating is wide spread. Multi level. Booths. High tops. 8 bar seating currently (11/17/20)“
