37 Best Cocktail Bars in Reno

“Man this place has some amazing food; the fried chicken, pork loin, spaetzle, etc. They've got great beers from which to choose and some pretty great wines and liquors as well. The atmosphere is great and the service has always been a great experience.“

“The BEST Mexican food in town, hands down! Excellent,innovative food & margaritas, extremely friendly & fast service! Very reasonably priced, two can easily eat for under $50.I highly recommend the Ahai Ceviche, Quesabirria tacos, shrimp tostadas, cauliflower-apple tacos with spicy crema (yes they're surprisingly delicious! ) and their margarita specials, Mango being my favorite or a large glass bottle of mexican Coke!Lots of seating with the back enclosed patio. They handle busy rushes like pros so never any long waiting. Limited parking in back but we always find a spot. I cannot wait to eat here again & again.“

“Hands down the BEST pizza in Reno. The second I took my 1st bite of the pizza, it instantly reminded me of the pizza in Italy. The crust and ingredients are authentic Italian down to the San Marzano tomatoes. The salads are a great portion. The restaurant is small but the ambiance is great with great music. They have an extensive wine list as well. Service was always friendly. Side note - for those that are truly celiac, they do have a shared oven so they can have cross contamination. They do have a Gluten Free Homemade Gnocchi that is celiac friendly, just have to be careful with the pizzas. This is a new Reno staple!“

“Really great food and wine! Super romantic vibes and a great way to enjoy live entertainment! We had the avocado baguette, mixed nuts, loaded dippers and arepa. The baguette was very good and fresh. The mixed nuts are a great options if just wanting drinks and something light. I really enjoyed the arepa but wish it came as more than 1. The loaded dippers were okay. Not my favorite. Overall, i think foodwise its a little overpriced and small portions. I understand the single use recyclable/compostable dishware but feels like it brings down the higher end vibe they are going for with the menu and decor. Will definitely be back but probably will be more just for drinks and light snack.“

“I've never been to Naples or even New York but I've worked for old New York Italian pizzaiolos and have been making pizzas for decades now. This is the best pizza I have ever had. The crust is perfect in every way, it's the perfect thickness, perfect chew and the flavor is absolutely the best I've ever tasted. I don't know if it's the flour or the water or the conditioning it goes through or all three, it's just simply the best ever. The sauce is simple - lightly seasoned tomato sauce as you would expect, not overdone in any way. The cheese is real mozz, the best you can hope for. Blown away by the simple perfection of Cosmos pizza! (The Negroni on tap was wonderfull too!)“

“The atmosphere is just brilliant here. First we just wanted to have a few drinks here, but we definitely did not regret to have snacks as well. All the staff was very friendly and helpful, we had a very good time here. No matter what you pick from the menu, it will be great, I can assure you that!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.Parking: Easy parking in the area.“

“Great, cozy atmosphere for coffee drinks and nice mix of alcoholic drinks. Good parking. Limited food menu (snacks or meal), but what they have is good. Super attentive, friendly staff. Hosts music and trivia events. Great place to hang with friends.“

“What a fun restaurant the servers and the people there were super happy super accommodating the drinks really made you feel happy they were all delicious pecan punch yes impact quite a bunch yours and the food that they served or scrumptious never had that before dancing was fun to watch the girls and the man were very entertaining I would recommend this place for a great time, all of the servers made sure you had plenty to eat this was a very extremely fun event I'm so happy I went met some great elite members and our chairman Michael t was the best he's always right on top of everything and makes every event eventful and rememberable thank you for a great evening“

“Love stopping here for drinks!! They have a huge selection and there is always something new for us to try! The bartender was friendly and the place was very clean and nice. Not too loud so you're able to hold a convo! I'm not a huge beer fan and there's still always something yummy for me to have. Will definitely be back“

“We dine at Arario every time we are in Reno, never have been disappointed. Cute little spot on the second floor with outdoor dining. We coincidentally had the same server almost every time. Food and service is amazing! Brought new friends with us and they cleaned their plates!“

“We were travelers who wandered in on a warm summer day and were welcomed by a crowd of locals, a friendly staff, and great drinks - what more could we ask for! We are fans of a good local dive bar and this one was a perfect place to grab a cold drink. There were all the typical beverages you would expect beers, wells, and mixers - but this place had a surprising cocktail list too - my favorite was the "Kick Rocks" and raspberry lemonade drink with an explosive candied rim - pop rocks! A trick I will be using at my home bar from now on!“

“Kind of weird vibe bar. Tiki drinks, Uber uptown decor, steampunk/brewmaster bartenders. Got there early enough that all the tables were still empty but still had to go to the bar to order. Then once it filled up the bartender came by and checked on our table. But then it took forever back at the bar to close out our tab. My co-worker wanted a different liquor in one of their standard drinks and they refused to make it. Although they were making lots of fancy complex drinks. That seemed odd. I'll go back but doubt my co-workers would. It was mostly filled with dates or groups of women. So they nailed it if they were going for that.“

“My husband, Nat & I visited R Town Pizza for the 1st time on Pi day. We fell in love & have had pizza (dine-in & take-out) 5 times in 13 days for a total of twelve 4-corners...almost 1 pizza per day! And we’ve driven from our house in Virginia City 2 times, 48 miles roundtrip, 96 miles total....just for this amazing pizza! Clearly, we are IN LOVE! Great food and great service!Vegetarian options: lots of vegetarian options + veg meatballsDietary restrictions: the best gluten free crust (made separately from all other dough)“

“Came in before a show across the street at the Cypress. It was about 8:30pm on a Saturday. The place was about half full. The bar is nice and long for those of us who like to sit at the bar, there's some tables, a pool table, and lots of photography on the walls. The vibe is really fun and much like their sister bar , the hideout, it's a very welcoming staff and atmosphere! I believe there is a patio but we did not venture outside since it was freezing! Great place to start your night, end your night , or enjoy a drink while downtown“

“Great speakeasy-ish bar in Midtown. No secret to getting in, just need to know how to get there. Cocktail list is extensive. Converse with the bar staff and they'll steer you in the right direction. You're not going to go wrong with anything. If you find something you need to take home they have a very well stocked liquor cellar with bottles to go- stuff you will find anywhere else in town though you'll pay for it. Cheers!“

“Oh wait, my following review is for their restaurant and brew pub: Super casual, great Tahoe-rustic decor. Party room that's really open anytime. Tap room next door, outdoor patios, good brews and food. My one and only wish...better fries. They use a sweet seasoning that disappoints every time. We don't go there for fries, but we go less because of them.“

“Why, yes! I did give the polo lounge five stars! You're probably wondering why and that's fair. It's been years since I've been inside this building but in that time the polo lounge has undergone an incredible transformation. Gone is the smoky dive cougar den that once was, and now thrives a lively bar, billiards room, nightclub and lounge , all of which is completely smoke-free! The crowd was as friendly as always. The live music was more than entertaining, and to this cake the whiskey selection behind the bar was what I'd call exceptional for a place like this, and the pricing was unbeatable! I ordered a Frey ranch rye whiskey, neat and it came out as a 2 to 3 ounce pour for under $15! I noticed quite a few allocated bottles Japanese whiskey, and more that I would've liked to of tried had I had more time but after our experience, I'll certainly be back sooner than later!“

“This place just takes you back the laid back atmosphere, and friendly service can't be beat. The price for the drinks is great if you're looking for a great place to just relax and have a few drinks. This is it everyone gets along and treats you like family.“

“Popped in here on a Halloween weekend Saturday afternoon (dressed as Beetlejuice and Lydia), and we had been mostly having beers, but this looked like a place for cocktails, and indeed it was. Had some great seasonal concoctions, including a lychee one and a spiced apple one. The bartenders were cool, the atmosphere was nice, and the drinks were great (and reasonably priced.)“

“If your looking for the perfect local dive bar, this is definitely the place. Every Friday night they host a pool tournament, which seems to have a great turnout. The drinks are typically strong and the service is always friendly and welcoming. Both Billie and Jessica are always so very happy to see you and welcome you in! Saturday night is typically karaoke night with a great variety of much to choose from, which is always fun. They also have a jukebox with an incredible variety of music. Overall, this is a great place to just be and enjoy a cocktail or two at a great price with wonderful service. It is also worth mentioning the bathrooms are always exceptionally cl“

“Artown brought me to this surprising new bar in the midtown district of my favorite city. They had great patio seating with the afternoon sun casting wonderful shade on the East side of the building. The bar tender explained the recent change in ownership and offered us some drink specials a tad before they were pasted. Though the menu was limited, we enjoyed some snacks while watching the dancers perform in the street.I'd like to see a solid food menu for this location going forward. It doesn't have to be much, but it leaves this place wanting“

“I have ran out of amazing things to say about this place. Absolutely everything is so delightful and charming. I have tried many things in their menu and have yet to be unsatisfied. My favorite dish is the Turkish Eggs for my brunch visits and the Tomatoes Feta salad for lunch, the falafels are to die for and you will never have potatoes like this in your life, my god!! All of the staff deliver excellent service every single time. The atmosphere is exquisite, it’s so perfect for your little Brunch Dates!! This is a MUST when visiting in Reno! They are extremely active on social media so be sure to check out their daily posts and stories for up to date amazingness. Cheers!“

“This place was AMAZING! We sat at the bar and it was busy but the bar tender Cody took the time to answer all of our questions and interact with us the whole time we were there. I recommend the beef pot pie (when I'm at a steakhouse?!? I know!) It was absolutely delicious, everything was perfectly cooked. The flavor was amazing. I cannot put into words how great our whole experience and meal were.“

“I went here with coworkers for a business lunch. Nice vibe when walking in, and you seat yourself. We got a couple of tables in the corner and pushed them together for our group of 9. Service was friendly and quick and the food was great. We ordered mozzarella sticks and potstickers for apps, and both were delicious. I ordered the Ciabatta Melt with Tomato Bisque which was very good. Nice portion sizes as well.“

“This was my 2nd time in this location first experience wasn't that great because of the woman on shift. Today Omar made it a great experience and I am enjoying my Fat Tuesday drink. Thank you Omar for your impeccable customer service, appreciate it. My friends and I will definitely come back because of you.“

“This place was so fun and the cocktails are out of this world! The amazing bar tender was knowledgeable and gave us the history behind the bar, drinks, and all of his "spices" (aka mixers). He even made drink themed food for you to enjoy. He had made Frank Sinatra meatballs with red wine and they were to die for! The cigar box drink, the hot spiked apple cider was the bomb! This place is a gem. Don't miss out and make sure to add this to your stop in Reno!“

“The red curry w/beef, drunken noodles and mango with sweet sticky rice were all delicious. Our waiter provided excellent service, had positive energy. Only complaint is my iced tea wasn't refilled at all and sat empty for the majority of the meal. I'd definitely recommend for authentic, fresh Thai food. ?“

“I came in to see a friend's local band and have some cocktails with friends. It is a cool venue because it is an old house that has been converted into a bar and patio. You can bring your own items to cook on the grills or smoker, just bring a receipt to show that it is fresh. They have a great selection of whiskey, tequila, and other spirits. Their cocktails are top-notch.“

“This is our first time visiting, and what a delightful experience. The food was excellent, portions were generous and the prices were great! The cocktail was delicious, and the service was wonderful. We will be returning to enjoy this hidden gem.“

“Our bartender was great! We enjoyed some cocktails "Say Less" and "Chesperito" beautifully hand crafted and delicious. You can order food by one of the vendors and enjoy it at the bar. Ask for Brooke she is a great mixologist. Bar area is well laid out and clean.“

“This is Reno's premiere cocktail bar. The first thing you'll notice when walking in a very large wall stocked floor-to-ceiling with high-end spirits. If this is too overwhelming for you, just talk to any of the staff and tell them what you of drink you prefer. They'll come up with something sure to please and extremely unique. If you're feeling a little chilly, try an El Chapo. Looking for a classic cocktail? How about a martini served up made with Monkey 47 gin? The staff take a lot of pride in their craft and it shows in every drink they make. This is really more than a mere bar. This is a pub where friends meet, discuss their daily lives, and catch up with each other. There's lots of places to get a drink in this town, but there's only one Chapel.“

“Dark woods, low lighting, comfy chairs, and "fireplaces" encourage curling up with a tasty cocktail and good conversation. Delicious concoctions and top shelf spirits available and served by friendly and prompt bartenders. Cards accepted for ease and convenience. "Secret" passage to access the building's facilities adds to the ambiance. Parking can be a little tricky so be sure to give yourself a little extra time if you are meeting up with friends.“

“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***“

“I've always loved this bar. It is incredibly underrated IMHO, and that's ok because it means more space for me to hang. For one, the location is perfect. North end of midtown, walking distance to restaurants and other bars and shops, parking surrounding the business, make this a home run. I like the small outdoor patio here. The high walls help you forget you're surrounded by other buildings and cars whizzing past. The interior is chill. There are long communal public tables with bar stools to sit at, and I enjoy seeing who is going to end up sitting with me when I choose this area. The bar is long and offers seating as well, and there are even a few small nooks with more intimate seating options as well.But we are here for the drinks, and these never let down and the prices are hard to believe, in a good way! I stick to the classics, and they make a mean old fashioned. Their spirits selection is diverse and they do have quite a few allocated bottles, and price per pour is typically reasonable too! This is such a solid local spot and I'm glad a special event brought me in again. I need to visit more often.“

“My bartender young as not only beautiful she mad a mean Long Beach. It’s a Sunday night and it quiet but people are friendly. There is the option to show off your voice with karaoke!! Definitely will come back next time I’m up to see my grandson who is the reason I’m here ! He was just born and I’m having a drink to celebrate his coming into this world!Thank you for the hospitality!Definitely stop bye if you have a chance“

“This is an amazing bar! If you are looking for great service from friendly bartenders this is the place to go. I was in early morning killing time and got to meet Ross who was going off shift, then Pete took over and they were both great. The owner Julie came in to start her day and we visited for a while. Their whiskey/bourbon selection is top notch at great prices. Will definitely be back with friends!“
