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

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

“Hands down one of the best entertainment experiences we’ve ever had! White Rabbit Theater and Lounge is a hidden gem, and Chase and Kaileigh Hasty exceeded every expectation we had.

The show was the perfect mix of incredible illusions, comedy, audience participation, and nonstop fun. Chase and Kaileigh are amazing entertainers who keep everyone engaged from beginning to end. We were laughing one minute and completely speechless the next!

The staff deserves just as much recognition. Everyone was genuinely kind, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure every guest felt appreciated. You can tell they love what they do, and it creates such a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The theater is beautiful, intimate, and perfectly designed so every seat has a great view. It makes the entire experience feel personal and memorable.

If you’re thinking about going, don’t hesitate—book the tickets! We’d recommend White Rabbit Theater & Lounge and Chase and Kaileigh Hasty Magic to anyone looking for an unforgettable night filled with laughter, amazement, and wonderful people. We can’t wait to return!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Spent Superbowl with a wonderful bartender and bar back who created the Capybara drink. Amazing atmosphere and drinks were phenomenal. Highly recommend mentioned Capybara and also the painkiller, and espresso martini which were all amazing. Will definitely be returning if not only for the drinks but the vibes and amazing humans who work here. Only regret was not getting their names! We cant thank you enough for an amazing and chill Superbowl Sunday. -the couple who came for the lack of televisions.“

“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!“

“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“

“A fun place to meet friends!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Atmosphere is typical bar, we grabbed burgers to go and they were great! I forgot to tell them medium rare and it turned out I didn't need to... they KNOW how to cook a burger that isn't dry like cardboard. We will go back for burgers again.“

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

“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!“

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

“It's a vibrant and wonderful bar. It's truly a gem worth visiting. Whether you're looking for a fun night out, delicious drinks, or a lively atmosphere, the Wonder Bar has got it all. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this amazing place at 1195 S Wells Ave in Reno, Nevada. Cheers to good times ahead! 🍻😄 Its just not a regular bar -it's a place where good vibes are always flowing. The lively atmospher , cheap drinks will make you feel right at home. The friendly staff will take care of you lile you're family. Its a perfect location for a night out. trust me you won't be disappointed.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“like being at a Hogwarts-style pub complete with a library of old books and board games. And of course, the drinks are fantastic! gotta try the chocolate cake shots -they are the bomb!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“There is no food here, just a bar, and they have a pool table as well. Nice ambiance and the baristas are very friendly. There is room for about 20 people or so at the bar and there are tables with comfortable chairs as well. Highly recommend!“

““Stay Classy, Reno.”

If Ron Burgundy ever stumbled into Reno after a scotch-fueled jazz flute solo, Shanty Dolan’s is exactly where he’d end up. I half expected him to burst through the door yelling, “I’m kind of a big deal,” and honestly… he wouldn’t have been wrong. This place is kind of a big deal.

The vibe? Imagine if the Channel 4 News Team retired and opened a bar that served cold beer, told better jokes, and somehow smelled faintly of victory and Old Spice. The lighting is perfect. Dim enough to make you look good, but bright enough that you can still judge your buddy’s terrible darts form.

Behind the bar is Nate part owner, part legend, part Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn. You can tell he’s in control of his craft because when he pours a pint, it’s like watching a relief pitcher close out the ninth inning with bases loaded. The crowd cheers. The jukebox cries. Someone probably yells “Just a bit outside!”

The drinks are strong, the people are friendly, and if you stay late enough, you might end up debating which Anchorman quote best sums up your night (“60% of the time, it works every time” feels right).

Bottom line: Shanty Dolan’s is where classy meets chaos, and both buy you a round. Stay classy, Reno and don’t forget your shades, because things get loud when Vaughn comes out of the bullpen.“

“great fun bar experience for all“

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

“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 ?“

“I previously visited this restaurant at their old location with my daughter and had an amazing experience — the food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic. Because of that, I was excited to try their new, larger location for happy hour with a friend. Unfortunately, the service was really disappointing this time. When we arrived, we both stood at the entrance for several minutes while multiple staff members looked at us but didn’t acknowledge us or explain whether we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. Eventually someone directed us to a table. We ordered wine and everything seemed fine at first, but our server quickly became unavailable and never checked back in. When our food was delivered by another employee, it was dropped off without utensils or napkins. Happy hour ended at 5:00, and instead of checking on us before then, our server returned afterwards and told us happy hour was over and brought new menus. After finishing our food, we sat with empty glasses and dirty plates while multiple staff walked by without clearing the table or checking on us. After about 10 minutes of waiting with no service, we ended up walking to the bar to pay our bill because no one ever brought it to the table. This was frustrating, especially for a restaurant that presents itself as a higher-end dining experience. I know they’re capable of better based on my previous visit, so hopefully the service improves.“

“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.“

“We celebrated my Brother's 50th birthday on the back patio and it was the perfect spot for adults and kids. The shady trees and gorgeous landscaping were ideal for comfort and photos. There was amble seating and table options. We shared a slideshow on the huge outdoor screen that was wonderfully shaded so everyone could see it. Shane was incredibly helpful and so nice. The indoor bar was so welcoming and clean, with a fun, eclectic vibe. Highly recommend for functions or just to relax with friends.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing cocktails! This distillery, owner by Joey “Cinnamon” Canela produces the Malort of the American West, Amer Picon. I highly recommend the Picon Punch, and the cinnamon liqueur, which was born out of trip to Italy, was an absolute delight.“

“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!“

“Food is Amazing!!! My husband says he jas no idea what they do in that kitchen but it's magic. Alex is the best even when we are not his table he checks on us. A little needy sometimes he doesn't seem to mind. The cocktails are so good and the butter sauce on the Muy Especial. Will have you addicted!!!“

“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!“

“The food was great. My mom had the Prawn Tostada and I had the Canitas Enchiladas, they were both delightful. We also had the Pina Colada Moose and the Churros with ice cream which was delicious. The server we had (unfortunately I don't remember her name) was super sweet and welcoming. The hostess Liberty was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely would be going back.“

“The Thursday night Lasagna is the best but everything on the menu is tops!“

“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.

“Always nice customer service. Friendly place to go“
