Very very slow service - it took our group an hour to get a glass of wine and a diet coke and they still hadn’t arrived when we had to leave for our dinner reservation. Worse, this bar wouldn’t let us cancel the undelivered order (even an hour later) and insisted we pay anyway.
There was only one bartender on duty for the entire place apparently (or so our server said when we asked after our drinks for the 5th time). Losing or forgetting an order is not the biggest deal, but still insisting the customer still pay when they don’t deliver until they’re leaving is sucky.
Also decor wise, the fireplace is nice but the TVs on every surface are just annoying when you are trying to hang with friends and dont present a good vibe.
Our server was friendly enough, but clearly afraid of a bad manager - kept saying things like “ my manager won’t let me do that”, “my manager wouldn’t like that” (for example when we asked if we could switch off only the one TV nearest to us).

04/25/2025: Nice, dark, sexy spot to relax, drink (no food is served here) and smoke cigars (superior ventilation included) while 90s, 2000s and 2010s music videos of all genres, mostly Pop, Alternative Rock and Country, play on the televisions throughout the lounge with sports playing at the bar. If the nearby Women's bathroom was clean, I'd give Fireside Lounge a perfect 5-star rating. Despite not staying at the Peppermill, we visited this lounge three times during our vacation and wish we had one near us.

It was awesome hanging out here! 😎

We LOVE the atmosphere! The service today was awful though it took 10 minutes for our drink order to be taken and then another 15 minutes to get our drinks. And then when we were ready to pay, we had our folder standing up with the card in it, and she never came by because she was too busy talking to her associates. I had to guzzle my wine since we had dinner reservations. It’s such a nice place so it’s very unfortunate that the experience sucked.
Jessica is a great bartender. Best drinks we have had in a long time. Give the girl a raise

Awesome place to sit back and relax. The fire and water seating area with a good mix of music videos is a must. Everything takes you back a bit for sure!
Vaughn is the absolute BEST, Friendliest & most engaging bartender I have found in the Reno metropolitan area; HANDS DOWN!!! “Thanks Vaughn!”

Fantastic Lounge inside the Peppermill. Fireside pit and great bar. Fantastic bartender. We ordered two Mai Tai Cocktails. Very good. I will return on my next trip to Reno.

Hidden gem of a bar buried deep inside the Peppermill Casino. Great place to take visitors to and never crowded on weekdays. Drink prices are are of course on the high side but they have a drink called The Scorpion which is actually a bargain at $30 as it comes in a huge glass that you get to take home and has 10 shots! (I assume it's meant to share LOL or you better be staying there or Ubering home.) The really cool thing I like about this place being a Gen X is they play music videos mostly from the 90's on screens located throughout. Service is great and the plush booths and circular seating around the fire are unique. Maybe not a local weekly watering hole but definitely fun to visit once in a while especially with out-of-towners.
Great little spot to enjoy drinks.
