Im not sure about the food as I've never tried anything here. Do they even have food??

But wow - the drinks here are insanely impressive.

The bartenders are also really cool people. I actually prefer to go during their off-peak hours so I can chat with some of them.

I used to go 2-3 times a week but have slowed down a bit since they took my favorite drink off the menu. I can't remember the name but it was the one with the scorched cinnamon. Still tho, amazing drinks - including all the staples.

We were on our way to meet friends there but we’re coming from another event and another bar and wanted to get some food. We went across the street to order from Noble Pie and after placing the order and paying for it my husband went across the street to let our friends know we’d be over with some apps. The bartender was super quick to announce that we were not allowed to bring our food inside. Definitely a surprise, especially given that there were only five customers at the bar and 3 of them were the friends we were meeting. Strange policy, and rude delivery of the news. They what would have been a good sale tonight, and I promise I will never set foot in there again.

Ironically we might have been able to go back and visit with our friends there (on their last night in town) but in spite of asking before placing the food order at 9:35 if it was still okay to order food, when our order was up the cook handed us the food and told us we had to leave or eat outside on the patio (currently 36 degrees) so we gave up and went home. Needless to say, if I’m ever back on that street it will be to have a drink and Pinon.

This is our favorite bar! The atmosphere is so lovely and the playlist is always fire. Miguel is the best bartender and always makes us feel at home. The most welcoming and attentive bar I’ve been to with very creative cocktails. 5 stars all around.

Cocktails are innovative and tasty. Bartenders seem pretentious and atmosphere is very dark with no windows but does have relaxing nooks to hang out in.

Kid-friendliness: No

Stopped by for a drink and wanted to check out their bottle shop selection. Picked up a bottle of Stagg. The staff were super friendly/ helpful and had some nice conversations about bourbon with them. Fantastic selection - I wish I'd been able to sit and do more tastings. The Weller Full Proof flight was a great value for something I don't see much around while out and about.

I will 100 percent be back next time I'm in Reno.

Parking: Limited street parking around the building.

It is a gothic style bar where everything is black

Arrived early Friday, sat at the bar right in front of a very nice bartender. I spent the first 30 minutes watching him create beautiful drinks, until I started conversation with patrons seated next to me. The ambiance is friendly and talkative. Drinks are yummy. I tried the mezcal and it was delicious and strong. Prices are fair. Music was matching the vibe. Death and Taxes are the only guaranteed things in life, but a night at D&T is guaranteed a good time.
