50 Best Cocktail Bars in Reno

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“The Roman burrata sandwich was delicious. The bread was so fresh and soft, and the whole thing was really tasty. My wife had the prosciutto focaccia and it was also very good, with a hearty serving size that left us both full. Everything tasted fresh.

The staff were friendly and the service was solid, though it can run a little slow, so this is more of a place to sit and enjoy your meal than to grab a quick bite. The ambiance is casual and has a nice level of background buzz, so you can have a normal conversation without feeling awkward. They have outdoor seating, and the whole place was very clean and inviting.

In my opinion, well worth a visit if you appreciate fresh, quality food in a relaxed setting.“

“My favorite place to go for a cocktail in Reno. The vibe is dark and moody, the drinks are unique and spectacular and the staff is always so warm and friendly. I have tried out so many other places in the area, but really nothing compares to Death & Taxes.“

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

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

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

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

“Found this quaint gem on my lunch break! All the ladies are very courteous and professional I love me some (Ms. Sheri the Owner) the atmosphere reminds me of a lil bar/club back home.........#bayareeaaaa“

“Unfortunately it has turned into a gay bar. Used to be The Wayside, which is much better.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. 🍹😃“

“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.“

“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.“

“My wife & I love this restaurant. Their location at Longley & McCarran is ideal for all of South Reno, and a nice, really short drive for the residents of Hidden Valley and Donner Springs. The staff is super friendly, and the wait for your meal is truly minimal. Best thing is the food quality and generous pours. 2nd best thing is their “no rush” philosophy, so you don’t feel rushed to eat at all. Plus they have ample space for larger groups. This is a great restaurant, and everyone should take advantage of the location and experience.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ambient lighting Happy atmosphere Great flan“

Plenty of space, fantastic beer selection. Bathrooms to accommodate a large crowd. Thanks again to the wonderful bar tenders and staff. Cheer“

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

“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!!“

“Absolutely loved my time at R Town! Such incredible pizza, really awesome owner, and wonderful, friendly staff. I am absolutely bringing friends!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“What a nice place for a couple cold beverages while listening to great country music. The staff is great, very helpful, service is above average. On the other side of the coin, the music system is below average for the space. The DJ plays great music with most of the top songs in his arsenal. The only negative here is expect ALOT of line dances and while I don’t mind that, I believe dancing was originally a two person event. No two stepping, most non line dancing songs are swing songs, no cha cha songs. My recommendations are improve the sound system and mix in a few more non-line dance songs. 4 stars, go, enjoy yourself“

“We hosted our Christmas party here for almost 100 people, and the experience was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and everything was prepared and ready right on time. The venue itself was beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our event.

You could truly tell that the leadership and staff were well prepared and organized—they did an amazing job handling a group of our size. A special shoutout to Rahma and Rebecca, who led the crew and went above and beyond. The two of them were serving and preparing everything themselves while making sure my entire team had the best possible experience.

I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and I will absolutely be coming back again in the future. Highly recommend this place for large events and celebrations!“

“Hands down some of the best Italian food I have ever experienced. Authentic, the flavor profiles were Phenomenon. The house Made mozzarella was to die for and our server/ bartender Melissa was excellent and knowledgeable in both the menu and her mock tail recipes. Absolutely great establishment, epic service and badass food.“

“GREAT FOOD,GOOD SERVICE,NICE ATMOSPHERE“

“Server was very attentive. She noticed me and when I asked for a menu, gave it. When I was ready to order (body language) she noticed and got my order and we checked out right away. There is lots of seating. It's an island type bar with seating all the way around it in a rectangular shape. The selection of craft and on tap were great.“
