4 Best Irish Pubs in Reno

“What a cool Pub!
The owner Ron is super nice and welcoming. It felt like we had known Ron for years, we got to share stories, and enjoy a perfectly poured Guinness.

The choice on whiskey is lovely, but we stuck to Powers.
Cody is a superb bartender! You will never have an empty glass in this watering hole.
Overall this was a wonderful experience, and we’ll be returning as much as possible.
LOVE the live music, atmosphere, and staff!

This truly made us feel like we were back in Ireland!🇮🇪🥰“

“Lucke's Saloon has an excellent atmosphere. Every time I go, I find good vibes, great conversation and awesome prices. The bartenders are knowledgeable and totally on their game. Talking about Wynn, Peggy, Ricketts, and Jeff so far. Have not had the pleasure to meet any other bartenders yet. Highly recommend this place. It is a new, go-to 3rd place (a place that is not home or work) for me. Check it out!“

““Stay Classy, Reno.”

If Ron Burgundy ever stumbled into Reno after a scotch-fueled jazz flute solo, Shanty Dolan’s is exactly where he’d end up. I half expected him to burst through the door yelling, “I’m kind of a big deal,” and honestly… he wouldn’t have been wrong. This place is kind of a big deal.

The vibe? Imagine if the Channel 4 News Team retired and opened a bar that served cold beer, told better jokes, and somehow smelled faintly of victory and Old Spice. The lighting is perfect. Dim enough to make you look good, but bright enough that you can still judge your buddy’s terrible darts form.

Behind the bar is Nate part owner, part legend, part Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn. You can tell he’s in control of his craft because when he pours a pint, it’s like watching a relief pitcher close out the ninth inning with bases loaded. The crowd cheers. The jukebox cries. Someone probably yells “Just a bit outside!”

The drinks are strong, the people are friendly, and if you stay late enough, you might end up debating which Anchorman quote best sums up your night (“60% of the time, it works every time” feels right).

Bottom line: Shanty Dolan’s is where classy meets chaos, and both buy you a round. Stay classy, Reno and don’t forget your shades, because things get loud when Vaughn comes out of the bullpen.“

“Shea’s is a fun bar with lots of good energy. Kylie (I hope I got the spelling right) is an incredible bartender that makes everyone feel comfortable and serves drinks with skill and a smile. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in midtown and looking to have a good time.“
