went there with friends and was harassed by the same guy for over two hours. we let the bartender know he was cornering women, making disgusting and rude comments, and even throwing bar furniture off the patio. we asked the bartender *multiple* times to remove him from the bar but he kept showing back up in our area. he ended up trying to get into my uber when i left. you should listen to people, women and men, when they tell you there is someone unsafe in the vicinity.
rooftop was nice
Eccentric if you love the open patio on the 2nd floor you gp there !

Great neighborhood place
5 star service!! Shout out to Jess and the amazin bartenders! Bar is a little small for live bands - but luckily the bar provides foam single use earplugs!! Wish they would expand their location but I love the place!
Super nice bartender, cool atmosphere, and rooftop is fun to hang out on.

Great vibe. Well poured. Great service. Superlative music. ??
I recently moved to Reno and am quite surprised that there aren't a lot more restaurants or bars with views of the river and/or mountains. There's only a very small handful of places downtown you can actually see the river from for example and it's completely ludicrous to me that 50 S Virginia St on the River (North of Pioneer Center) they put a parking lot between the building and the river.
But I digress, I managed to find this gem of a place with a rooftop bar. You can't see the river of course but it has a nice view of the surrounding neighborhood and Downtown area. Bartender was very friendly, made great drinks. It was uncrowded on a Saturday night at 7 as most people apparently come for the DJ later. So if you want a laid back atmosphere, you can hang out in the early evening and if you want some night life you can come later.
They do not have food so bring take-out from your favorite restaurant if you want to eat. If they at least had small bar food menu with some good bar food I'd give it 5 stars but the lack of food and the view being nice but not spectacular, this is a solid high 4 stars.

Wooohooo for the best bar in Reno! Drinks: 10/10, atmosphere and vibe 10/10, and owners 1000/10. Glad we have this cool spot in Reno!

Stopped here for the first time on Friday with a friend. The place was pretty empty but it was only 3pm. The rooftop was nicely decorated and the main floor is very spacious. The original idea was to do a little daytime bar hopping but this place was just too amazing to leave. This place has an amazing happy hour special too! A live band came in, but we left as they were warming up. I'm sure they were great though.
The best part was Nick! Nick was bartending that day. He kept us thoroughly entertained and makes awesome drinks... There was another customer there that was flirting and then randomly kissed the side of my face. Nick saw this and IMMEDIATELY checked the guy and said (paraphasing) "Hey! Make sure that's what she wants! Chill out!" Nick then proceeded to ask me if I was ok. This warmed my heart so much to see establishments like this hire good hearted individuals.
I will definitely be back to Lo Bar the next time I visit Reno. Great atmosphere. Great People.

Finding someone who hasn’t had a problem with the little power tripping owner here is RARE. So many instances I can bring up but simply FIND ANOTHER BAR to save your money and peace of mind!!!
Update: I think YOU are the one that needs a more accurate account of the night. My friend and I mistakenly walked up to you with drinks in our hand and had no problem taking them away when told (I’m not stupid I know this isn’t allowed, there was no issue here). The problem occurred as we moved down the street and tried to finish them before coming back. You followed us and demanded we hand over our drinks, telling us if we didn’t give them to you then you weren’t letting us in and that you wanted us to spend more money at your bar. No one had a tantrum except for you sir, which is really embarrassing all things considered. I’m just happy you can role-play being a king and having “power” somewhere in your sad life!

Speaker fell on my head while on dance floor, caused me pass out for a brief moment and rather than make sure I was OK at owner the owner/bouncer didn't let my friends bring me a glass a water out while also trying to blame me for the entire thing. Don't know how u see someone pass out in your bar after an industrial size speaker falls on their head and then immediately try to blame it on them. Will definitely never be coming back

The sound system is not the best.The bass seems to be pretty muddy and distorted.Put that aside it was a lot of fun and the people were great.I still recommend it ?

I stopped here on Monday night and I was the only person in the place as it was right before closing… the bartender was super friendly and made a good drink, the place is very roomy and comfortable as well as clean and well put together. Prices were good for craft cocktails… great place to stop to have a drink, highly recommend!
