18 Best Cocktail Bars in Reno

“Love the food and the atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Well what the hell. On an average night it took 30 minutes to get my order. This is the second w this has happened to me. BUT the dumplings were FANTASTIC. I was anger with the employee, because of the time and she? Was very rude. Good luck“

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

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

“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!“

“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....“

“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.“

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

“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. 🍹😃“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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