25 Best Wine Bars in Reno

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

“Best little hidden gem in Reno. Staff is exceptional, wine for every pallet and food is beyond belief. If you want something different and above and beyond, this is the place to go!!!“

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

“Black Rock Wine Co absolutely nails that rare balance between elevated and approachable. From the moment you walk in, the space sets the tone with a modern industrial design, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and an open, airy layout that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The long tables lined with bottles feel almost like a curated gallery, and the garage-style doors let in natural light that makes the whole place feel alive without being loud or overwhelming.

What really stands out is how intentional everything feels, especially the wine list. It is handwritten on a large chalkboard, which gives it a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, but the selection is thoughtful and globally inspired. You will find a mix of Old World staples and boutique producers alongside well-chosen California options. The list includes everything from crisp Picpoul and Bordeaux Blanc blends to approachable Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with more unique offerings like Loire Valley blends and Spanish varietals that show they are not just playing it safe.

The pricing is another highlight. Most glasses land in the $9 to $15 range, which feels more than fair for the quality. They even offer a carafe option, about two and a half glasses, which is perfect for sharing and encourages you to settle in and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it.

The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a wine bar. It is relaxed, conversational, and effortlessly refined. It is the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply unwind and end up staying longer than you planned.

What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Kate McCune. She went above and beyond in every way. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the wines, and genuinely warm in her approach. She made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and created an experience that felt personal rather than transactional. It is clear she cares about what she does, and it made a great environment feel even better.

Black Rock Wine Co is not trying too hard, and that is exactly why it works. It is curated, welcoming, and just the right level of elevated. We will absolutely be back.“

“Absolutely unreal service… I left… very satisfied.

I stopped by this lounge before catching my flight, and let me tell you - Kyah does NOT play around when it comes to taking care of me.

The way she handled everything? Smooth. Confident. Completely in control. Top energy the entire time. I was honestly shocked at how quickly she figured out exactly what I wanted and delivered it perfectly.

By the end, I was sitting there thinking, “Wow… I did NOT expect to be taken care of like that before a flight.”
I walked out feeling relaxed, recharged, and low-key a little weak in the knees - all from the service alone.

The staff is really, really good at what they do.

There might be wine and food here too but not sure.“

“We visited Whispering Vine with friends and everyone enjoyed their dinner. We each had tacos - Korean beef, duck and lentil - and shared the hummus appetizer. Everyone's food was delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“I previously visited this restaurant at their old location with my daughter and had an amazing experience — the food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic. Because of that, I was excited to try their new, larger location for happy hour with a friend. Unfortunately, the service was really disappointing this time. When we arrived, we both stood at the entrance for several minutes while multiple staff members looked at us but didn’t acknowledge us or explain whether we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. Eventually someone directed us to a table. We ordered wine and everything seemed fine at first, but our server quickly became unavailable and never checked back in. When our food was delivered by another employee, it was dropped off without utensils or napkins. Happy hour ended at 5:00, and instead of checking on us before then, our server returned afterwards and told us happy hour was over and brought new menus. After finishing our food, we sat with empty glasses and dirty plates while multiple staff walked by without clearing the table or checking on us. After about 10 minutes of waiting with no service, we ended up walking to the bar to pay our bill because no one ever brought it to the table. This was frustrating, especially for a restaurant that presents itself as a higher-end dining experience. I know they’re capable of better based on my previous visit, so hopefully the service improves.“

“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!“

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

“The location is unassuming, with tables open to the second floor meeting rooms, but don’t let the casual layout fool you. The inner area is well-appointed and service staff polished. The menu is diverse and plating lovely. The cotton candy and breakfast bar parting gifts are thoughtful and delicious. A worthy stop.“

“Had a great time! Will be back for sure 🙌🏾“

“This is a wonderful date night restaurant. Great menu, awesome wine list, perfect volume.“

“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!“

“The food was amazing!! Many wines to choose from. Dishes made from scratch and things you don’t usually make at home. Can’t wait to go back to try everything we didn’t try this time!“

“My husband and I went here for the first this weekend for our anniversary, and they made it so memorable! The food was beyond delicious, the servers were so nice and thoughtful. Will definitely be coming here again. I’m still dreaming of the mussels“

“Molly was a great server. The food was superb. Thank you for a wonderful evening.“

“My husband and I went to dinner at Mario's Portofino as a spontaneous outing. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We were greeted by the owner, the staff was unbelievably welcoming and attentive, the food was delicious. It was definitely a night to remember. We will be going back as often as possible. I highly recommend.“

“For romantic dinner beautiful restaurantr .“

“Always my favorite spot for birthday dinners and again this place did not disappoint. Always consistent with really good steaks that have great flavor. My favorite is the lobster Mac n cheese and the New York steak. The drinks were also delicious. Big shout out to our servers Justin and George who enhanced our experience even more. They did an amazing job checking up on us and creating a welcoming yet classy environment. Hopefully back soon!“

“Great !visiting from San Diego Awesome tea and the decorations“

“Our favorite place for date night. Amazing service, food, and cocktails!“

“Went for dinner with friends while staying in Reno. Highly recommend. We were greeted immediately upon entering and made to feel at home. The staff was attentive throughout the night and knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations. The cocktail menu was interesting without being over the top and the cocktails were good! There were several creative choices for small plates and you could just make it a small plates and cocktails night if you wanted. The entree menu is limited, but they also offer specials and the smaller menu means they can focus on quality. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Mixed bag.
The coffee drinks were great.
The bacon was top tier.
The rest of the meal missed the mark.
I asked for crispy potatoes and they were not. The country fried steak and eggs were bland. I get the idea of a lowest common denominator when spicing food in a restaurant but this goes too far.“

“7-8-23, 75 birthday celebration. It was concert night. 1:22 minutes from seated until served. Food had been sitting, barely warm. Not acceptable! Not recommended! No one seemed to care..“
