50 Best Cocktail Bars in Reno

“Love the food and the atmosphere!“

“Fabulous dinner on their beautiful back patio. Hamachi crudo was one of the best things I’ve eaten in Reno. The fazzoletti was a perfect balance between cozy and elegant. I found two iterations of broccoli rabe on their specials menu and I couldn’t have been more delighted. With their house red on tap for $9 a glass, I was a happy girl. No notes!!“

“Claio is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in town. The food is incredible (katifi prawns, long neck clams, scallops – all amazing) and the cocktails are just as good. The team goes out of their way to make every visit special. They even surprised us with a card and champagne for our anniversary. Always a 10/10 experience.“

“LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ABBYS

This place is amazing! The staff & atmosphere is welcoming and amazing. The newly redone patio area is beautiful and a nice place to kickback. Karaoke on Thursdays is beyond fun! Don't forget to check out Dumpling Queen, the food is unbelievably good!“

“I started playing pool about a month ago... found this place... two tables....$1.00 a game ...no smoking.... bartender was super nice when the ball got stuck....l noticed that sign about water as well... I would gladly pay a few $ for bottled water... I think they should remove the free water... Generate some money it's a missed opportunity in my opinion.... I don't drink alcohol and I don't drink sugary and salty.... That leaves H2O....“

“Small but FUN! I was there for a fundraiser, but will definitely go back as a stop along the way...“

“Come see Paul and Ella at the 4st coffee bar, they treated me like we had been fry for decades. Paul has had some fantastic experiences and is creating a wonderful atmosphere. They have motorcycle parking out front, stop by and make some new friends and have a great coffee!“

“This was home away from home, for so long!“

“Great place to go. Scotty makes awesome cocktails!!“

“Atlas Landing is a great place to meet up with friends. The wine list is great and the employees are super friendly.“

“a friendly place to hang out and relax. it is customary in this country to tip the bartenders, they need to live too. they are friendly and take good care of me. 🍹😃“

“One of the finest bars I have visited.

A sublime collection of drinks in a blacked out interior.

Danger Ranger holds court here weekly.

Consummately professional staff. Polite, discreet, knowledgeable.

Magnificent.“

“Just a really great place. Chill. The regulars are really nice welcoming people. The bartender lady (I feel bad, I don’t remember her name even though she remembered mine the whole time I was there) is an awesome person!
It’s a salt of the earth kinda place, with good folks.“

“I stopped in about 10 this morning and asked for a bloody Mary without alcohol to go. The bar tender went to a lot of trouble to help me out when I explained that the drink was for a family member in the hospital that wasn't doing well and her only request was for a bloody Mary. I thank him and recommend Corrigan's to anyone who will listen.“

“Friendly place to go meet up with friends. People are always nice and I feel safe there also. Employees are the best and I will come back soon.“

“I love Bubbles and Poprocks. They do karaoke on Friday nights. It starts at 8 pm and goes until the crowd stops. The people are down to earth and friendly. The drink prices are pretty cheap compared to downtown Reno bars. Come play pool and party in the North Valleys.“

“Absolutely one of, if not THE best meals (4 of us each had different items) we have had. Lunch was amazing. Hot, fast, delicious and the combos of flavors, my God! Highly recommended!! Great margarita and fantastic service!“

“been going there for almost 20 years and keep going back that says it all“

“Fabulous staff and the food is off the hook! Have the buger“

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

“Small bar but it's open I think about 24/7 decent size seating area seating around the bar and they have one pool table pretty the bartender is very friendly all around good place to have a drink and play some pool or just shoot the s***“

“Delicious squash burrata plate and wood fired pizza! Meatballs were amazing too! Great cocktails and soft serve treat f out dessert.“

“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!“

“This place has truly the most authentic Mexican cuisine!!! I love eating here, true seafood is fresh and their guacamole is prepared to order. I'm not a huge fan of their horchata or desserts but they aren't bad. Would highly recommend!!“

“innovative and delicious take on pastas and pizzas, great and friendly staff, attentive and prompt service. Their Boulevardier is on point and one of my faves.“

“This place... nothing short of, soo so good. I meannnnn any place that cares that much about they're ice! You know they're drinks are guna smack. They're like some kinda cocktail nerds, forever in the lab, and nothing but love. Andy's, Brian's, my dude Eddy, and the brass, fam! ❤️“

“There is a huge wall of rotating taps and they have a little bit of just about everything— including three sour beers, which aren’t always available at other places. When I asked for a suggestion for the sours they poured me three tasters for the three different kinds they had and told me about the flavor profiles. There was no food, to my knowledge, but they do let you bring in outside food. Will return.“

“Really cool little bar! The bartender was super friendly. We had ducked in to get out of the million degree heat and have a cold one, happily surprised how super cool and chill it is in there! And their back patio is a vibe with a dj or there and misters. It was just too hot for us to hang out back there on this particular day!! We will definitely go back here when we're in town!!“

“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“

“Had a great time!!!“

“The Pepper Mary extra Spicy.... Habanero-Jalapeño Vodka, Celery Bitters, In-House Made Bug Juice and Bloody Mary mix. The Garnish is Fire! But, then again so is the Bacon Salt and Torched Bacon!! I highly recommend checking the Pignic Pub and Patio out!!“

“First night in Reno we lucked out and found the Brewer's Cabinet! Excellent selection of craft beers on site (tap beers and some are available in cans) and on this night they had a trivia contest and a food truck. Lots of other things happening here, inside and outside seating available. The staff was great and we loved the beers and food!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“First time, won't be the last. Excellent food, service. I had the Tostada Supreme with carnitas. It was delicious. Too big to finish so I will enjoy again for dinner. My friends were very happy with their food. Good service, the young man came to our table several times to check on us. We will be back and I will bring other friends.“

“This IS the best night life place in Reno. Amazing bar, the best people and phenomenal music. We went Thursday and they had live jazz music. It was great! The people working there and the owner who was actually serving and having fun with us and other guests was like just what you want, that welcoming place where everyone knows your name. Best night in Reno! Thank you guys very much!“

“Love the vibe everyone is great and they have great food“

“If you’re a whiskey lover in Reno, Chapel Tavern is the place to be—no question. This bar has an incredible selection, with prices that feel almost too good to be true. The ability to order half-ounce pours is a total game-changer, letting you explore their deep collection without committing to full pours.

Their lineup of Springbank and Chichibu is absolutely insane, both in terms of availability and price. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal on these anywhere. Whether you’re after a rare dram or just looking to expand your palate, this is the perfect place to do it.

And then there’s Corey—the kind of bartender that makes a great bar even better. His knowledge, passion, and hospitality elevate the experience. Whether you’re a whiskey aficionado or just getting into it, he’s got the insight and recommendations to make every visit memorable.

Chapel Tavern isn’t just a great whiskey bar for Reno—it’s a destination for anyone serious about their spirits.“

“Great appetizers!!! Good wine too!!!“

“What a great place with some of the best pizza! Glad I stumbled across a story on Nevada Sports. Made for a great lunch on Father’s Day with the fam. Can’t wait to eat here again.“

“Ambient lighting Happy atmosphere Great flan“

“Had a great time at Public House! The bartender was super friendly. They had an awesome selection of beers on tap, and I got to sample several—each one was tasty and unique. Loved the laid-back vibe and good conversation. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great people. We were pleasantly surprised. They've done a beautiful remodeling job on the interior too. Best of luck and much success! We will be back soon for sure!“

“Must say. We tried this place while bowling and we were not left disappointed. The Fried Chicken sandwich was absolutely delightful, the chicken was very crispy - definitely fried, and the pickes and spicy mayo complimented it perfectly. Came with a large thing of fries as well which i was not expecting when ordering. Come try this on a bowling night at the Gsr!“

“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.“

“innovative and delicious take on pastas and pizzas, great and friendly staff, attentive and prompt service. Their Boulevardier is on point and one of my faves.“

“Omar is the best!!!!!! I heard about Fat Tuesday from Tik Tok and was so excited when I saw it in the casino at GSR. Omar gave me samples and suggestions and was so friendly and personable. So was his manager! This drink and the entire experience chatting with them and trying drinks made my whole day!“
