“Great drinks and an incredible vibe 👏🏼 highly recommend.“

“Our server Oscar was amazing. We had the private dining room in the back and were celebrating my wife's birthday, 8 adults, 2 children (3 an 1-1/2 years old). The private dining rooms look like it could hold 20 people. Fireplace, two TV's,(which we did ask to put on a baseball game with no volume, and they did) and right outside the door is a private single use restroom for all restaurant guests. Appetizers were oysters, calamari, stuffed crab mushrooms, escargot. Food was great, our group varied from petrole sole, ribeye, short rib, rack of lamb, prime rib, ny choice, and steak diane. Desserts were cheesecake, bread pudding, and creme brule. Drinks were Dragon Paloma(many), Frank Family Wine 455, old fashions, and mint expressor martini(dessert), and makers and coke. The manager was very accommodating, and she checked on us frequently. The pre dinner drinks in the bar were excellent as well. Spent about 3-1/2 hours for appetizers, dinner, and desserts. Did not feel rushed at all. All the staff from hostess, bartender, manager, server, all polite, all professional, and accommodating. Recommend highly. Will be going again.“

“Absolutely one of, if not THE best meals (4 of us each had different items) we have had. Lunch was amazing. Hot, fast, delicious and the combos of flavors, my God! Highly recommended!! Great margarita and fantastic service!“

“Been wanting to try this place from a friend's recommendation. I ended up going for lunch and was not disappointed. Got the madein salad (caesar-ish) and mushroom focaccia. Both were incredible. The mushrooms were luscious and cooked perfectly. Focaccia was delicious. Was it the best I've ever had? Probably not but I would go back here again and again. Dying to try dinner- fresh cooked pasta mmm. Service was also outstanding and they have a cute little patio out back.“

“Small but FUN! I was there for a fundraiser, but will definitely go back as a stop along the way...“

“This was home away from home, for so long!“

“Fabulous staff and the food is off the hook! Have the buger“

“Happy Birthday Tiger Tom!!“

“innovative and delicious take on pastas and pizzas, great and friendly staff, attentive and prompt service. Their Boulevardier is on point and one of my faves.“

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

“Really cool spot. Awesome, dark, moody vibe. Bar tenders were very nice & helpful. The Black Gates was my favorite of the three cocktails we ordered. Not very many bars do tea cocktails, & to me it was perfect — very well balanced, not too sweet, tea notes shone through. Would love to come back if we’re ever in the area again.“

“Unfortunately it has turned into a gay bar. Used to be The Wayside, which is much better.“

“Come see Paul and Ella at the 4st coffee bar, they treated me like we had been fry for decades. Paul has had some fantastic experiences and is creating a wonderful atmosphere. They have motorcycle parking out front, stop by and make some new friends and have a great coffee!“

“a friendly place to hang out and relax. it is customary in this country to tip the bartenders, they need to live too. they are friendly and take good care of me. 🍹😃“

“I stopped in about 10 this morning and asked for a bloody Mary without alcohol to go. The bar tender went to a lot of trouble to help me out when I explained that the drink was for a family member in the hospital that wasn't doing well and her only request was for a bloody Mary. I thank him and recommend Corrigan's to anyone who will listen.“

“Friendly place to go meet up with friends. People are always nice and I feel safe there also. Employees are the best and I will come back soon.“

“My wife & I love this restaurant. Their location at Longley & McCarran is ideal for all of South Reno, and a nice, really short drive for the residents of Hidden Valley and Donner Springs. The staff is super friendly, and the wait for your meal is truly minimal. Best thing is the food quality and generous pours. 2nd best thing is their “no rush” philosophy, so you don’t feel rushed to eat at all. Plus they have ample space for larger groups. This is a great restaurant, and everyone should take advantage of the location and experience.“

“went here for the 1st time and it was pretty good. Only complaint some of the sauces they try to be cute with them and it ruins it. like Siracha in the Tartar Sauce for their fish and chips. I will never get that because of that. They put Tabasco in their Thousand Island that is stupid. But nice atmosphere good service and you can play Trivia that was fun. I had the pastrami it was good but I wanted regular Thousand island for it so that sucked. next time burger or Meatball Sandwhich“

“Hell yeah bad ass bar. Z served me some good recommended cocktails and the service was quick. They have a nice patio outside with a fireplace if youre kickin it outside. Also got draft beer from local breweries and domestic. Music was great as well. Siiick“

“Spent Superbowl with a wonderful bartender and bar back who created the Capybara drink. Amazing atmosphere and drinks were phenomenal. Highly recommend mentioned Capybara and also the painkiller, and espresso martini which were all amazing. Will definitely be returning if not only for the drinks but the vibes and amazing humans who work here. Only regret was not getting their names! We cant thank you enough for an amazing and chill Superbowl Sunday. -the couple who came for the lack of televisions.“

“Ambient lighting Happy atmosphere Great flan“

“I love Bubbles and Poprocks. They do karaoke on Friday nights. It starts at 8 pm and goes until the crowd stops. The people are down to earth and friendly. The drink prices are pretty cheap compared to downtown Reno bars. Come play pool and party in the North Valleys.“

“They have a nice wine selection to go with a full bar and the prices are pretty reasonable. There's a nice selection of bites to go along with your drinks. The staff is really friendly and makes every effort to take care of all their customers no matter how busy it gets. I usually go there to listen to the music. They have a website you can check out to see who's playing. I would definitely check this place out if you've never been here. It's worth a look“

“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“

“Came in on a quiet Thursday, met Sean, the bartender, who I also found out was the owner. He was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Their bottled beer list is phenomenal, as are the cocktails. Truly a unique experience and one I would highly recommend.“

“like being at a Hogwarts-style pub complete with a library of old books and board games. And of course, the drinks are fantastic! gotta try the chocolate cake shots -they are the bomb!“

“There is no food here, just a bar, and they have a pool table as well. Nice ambiance and the baristas are very friendly. There is room for about 20 people or so at the bar and there are tables with comfortable chairs as well. Highly recommend!“

“Small bar but it's open I think about 24/7 decent size seating area seating around the bar and they have one pool table pretty the bartender is very friendly all around good place to have a drink and play some pool or just shoot the s***“

“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 Pepper Mary extra Spicy.... Habanero-Jalapeño Vodka, Celery Bitters, In-House Made Bug Juice and Bloody Mary mix. The Garnish is Fire! But, then again so is the Bacon Salt and Torched Bacon!! I highly recommend checking the Pignic Pub and Patio out!!“

“We were in Reno for bowling Nationals and stopped to check the selection. Great selection. Owner is knowledgeable and a great person to converse. His knowledge of the products is excellent. I will return on my next trip to Reno. Highly recommend this business. Shop local!“

“First time, won't be the last. Excellent food, service. I had the Tostada Supreme with carnitas. It was delicious. Too big to finish so I will enjoy again for dinner. My friends were very happy with their food. Good service, the young man came to our table several times to check on us. We will be back and I will bring other friends.“

“Fun and comfortable atmosphere. Great people and nice bartenders. Khesandra, sweet and good with everyone. She has a eclectic taste in music always good tunes on the juke box. She also runs a pool tournament every Friday night at 7pm. She works Tuesdays, Thursday and Friday day shift and Alan very funny and good people. He works Sunday and Monday nights.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great people. We were pleasantly surprised. They've done a beautiful remodeling job on the interior too. Best of luck and much success! We will be back soon for sure!“

“Had a great time at Public House! The bartender was super friendly. They had an awesome selection of beers on tap, and I got to sample several—each one was tasty and unique. Loved the laid-back vibe and good conversation. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“We hosted our Christmas party here for almost 100 people, and the experience was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and everything was prepared and ready right on time. The venue itself was beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our event.

You could truly tell that the leadership and staff were well prepared and organized—they did an amazing job handling a group of our size. A special shoutout to Rahma and Rebecca, who led the crew and went above and beyond. The two of them were serving and preparing everything themselves while making sure my entire team had the best possible experience.

I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and I will absolutely be coming back again in the future. Highly recommend this place for large events and celebrations!“

“What a nice place for a couple cold beverages while listening to great country music. The staff is great, very helpful, service is above average. On the other side of the coin, the music system is below average for the space. The DJ plays great music with most of the top songs in his arsenal. The only negative here is expect ALOT of line dances and while I don’t mind that, I believe dancing was originally a two person event. No two stepping, most non line dancing songs are swing songs, no cha cha songs. My recommendations are improve the sound system and mix in a few more non-line dance songs. 4 stars, go, enjoy yourself“

“GREAT FOOD,GOOD SERVICE,NICE ATMOSPHERE“

“My husband and I had a belated anniversary dinner at Biggest Little Steakhouse on 10-19-2023. This was our first visit, and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by Brian who was very personable and had a great sense of humor. He explained the menu, providing many nice details, and explained their service model (we were sitting outside and after taking our drink order, he explained that we were to place our order with a staff member inside the restaurant and that our meal would be brought to us). We had a filet mignon, peppercorn sauce, and red wine braised mushrooms. The filet was very tender (Brian had explained that both the filet mignon and pork chop were prepared using a special cooking method) and the mushrooms were tasty – good enough to take home our extra. We also enjoyed the focaccia bread, although we preferred it with the herbed butter that came with the filet and olive oil & vinegar we requested after trying the special blend they usually serve with bread – nothing wrong with it, it just wasn’t to our taste. The service was excellent throughout – responsive without being intrusive. The warm cookies that were served with the bill were a nice finishing touch. We’ll be back again and are especially looking forward to trying the Beef Wellington bites and pot pie. We also liked that the music at a nice volume level and the style was reminiscent of a speakeasy. Don’t forget happy hour daily from 5-6 and again the last open hour!“

“Fresh ingredients made from scratch. Comfort food.“
