Came by at 3pm on a Saturday and the taproom is closed and no one is answering the phone? I think this place is permanently closed.In response to below- first off your response is extremely rude and unprofessional. Second off it was not a giant snowstorm and Reno and sparks were not entirely closed. We went to multiple other places that were all open. The snow wasn’t even sticking to the roads. Get a lesson in professionalism.

Been an Imbib visitor since day 1 in Reno. Expansion/on line ordering etc all great for increased volume. Gettin the 'service' kinks out takes time but still a fan. Too bad 'bar' only area can't be open more for those that aren't eating

The worst cocktails I think we’ve ever had. It was apparent the bartender did not know what she was doing. Found the menu hard to order from too, so we just decided to go somewhere else. Waitress was nice.

This place was awesome. They have a great selection of different kinds of craft beer. An awesome menu with unique and different homemade items. The waitress/ bartender did a great job not sure what her name was but shout out to her.

We were going to a restaurant near IMBIB when we saw the sign and remembered that another Yelper told us about an event he went to at IMBIB.It was a little after lunchtime, and the restaurant was not crowded. The setting was very nice, and there were a few people in the adjacent taproom.Service was very good at the beginning and trailed off as the new shift came on and diners came in. We weren't on the new servers table list and were sort of forgotten by our original server.We ordered the pierogis, the Kim Chee seafood salad, and the cheeseburger "smash" style. The pierogis were good, but you do need to use the accompanying dill cream sauce. On the menu, the Kim chee seafood salad was supposed to have a seafood sausage. We didn't know what that was, so we wanted to give it a try. When the salad came, there were a lot of shrimp and avocado slices, but we didn't see anything that looked like a sausage. We had to ask about it, and were told that a machine in the back was broken, so they had to substitute. It would have been nice to have been informed of that before being served the item, but again, it was a time with a shift transition.The cheeseburger was good. I find "smash" style burgers to be similar to In-N-Out burgers even though they are supposed to be cooked differently. If you like In-N-Out, you will like this burger, albeit, it is much more expensive.I believe the draw to the restaurant is the wide beer selection. As we came in mainly to try the food, we didn't have any of their alcoholic drinks. I think a good beer would enhance the food...like a good pairing.I would come back here to try the beer and have some bar food. I'm not sure if I would come back just for the food.

Sunday morning brunch, my first visit. The gang wanted a Sunday morning brunch around 11am, so we met here. Nice big bright space. Bar seating and lots if tables in two areas. Even a large patio, and one section with shade. The brunch menu is limited to 3 food items and 3 drinks. But you can order from the regular food menu and huge beer menu. It was chilly out and it was brunch. But I couldn't get an Irish coffee. As an after thought I should have just ordered coffee with cream and a shot of whiskey. But I did try the Roarie Bummler, a chocolate coffee cocktail. It was good. I went with the cheeseburger. Needed seasoning, but the bun was fresh and soft, and the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. It didn't wow me. I'm glad they didn't have enough Mac and cheese to fill my order (who runs out of Mac and cheese at 11am ?). The fried cheese curds were good. A friend did get the last of the Mac- it was an interesting yellow orange and rather watery. No real cheese flavor to it. Bland. He couldn't finish it. The steak and eggs looked good. It was three slices of tri tip, a little over done for all of us at the table. The two that got the sausages enjoyed them. The hit was the house spicy mustard that came on the side. All the food was nice and hot when it came to the table. Overall it's a great menu to pair with the large beer selection. But just not my pint of beer. It's located at the Legends Outlet, so it's shared mall parking. Park near the lake and it's a short walk.

Great beer, specifically the sours. Sausage based food menu that is pretty good quality. Patio and a lot of indoor seating as well. Bright atmosphere in the main room or more subdued in the original bar in the back. New happy hour from 3-6 with discount on beer and apps, and all day deals as well. Friendly service. Definitely the best option in the area and some of the best beer in Reno!

As a big fan of Imbib I was thrilled to hear of their eats and drinks location conveniently next to the galaxy movie theater. Nothing like a cold brew before (or after) a movie!Imbib has always been at the top of my list in terms of reno craft beer. I am never disappointed with a beer I try. Now adding food to the mix? Awesome!We opted for the sausage sampler which is a great way to have a small amount of a big variety. The two sausages that stood out the most were the lamb and seafood. Those flavors alone are worth a trip back! The sampler isn't cheap, at $22 you'll get a variety but will still be hungry so keep that in mind.Excited to try more at this great location!

Great casual, local place with fresh food and beer at great prices. Delicious Eastern European food including pirogies, brats & curry wurst. Craft beer selection is extensive and designed to accommodate every palate.
After coming to the amazing Elite event, I decided to come back for lunch with two of my favorite people. We decided on just ordering apps to share, figuring we could order more if we were still hungry. The apps were quite sufficient nutrients for us so no extras.We ordered the IMBIB Pretzel + Beer Cheese, Pierogis, and Pulled Pork Sliders. All were very good the numbers worked out perfectly with 3 sliders and 6 Pierogis. We were unable to finish the enormous pretzel so took it home. I think my favorite is the pulled pork sliders. It is a good balance of the sweet but spicy BBQ sauce with the tender pork on a brioche bun. The extra bit of yumminess was from the house made crunchy boozy pickle. The pierogies were filled with potatoes, onion and cheese all wrapped in a pastry crust. Chive/Dill cream was perfect for dipping. The service was very good and the food was brought out fairly quickly. The general vibe is casual and low key. A beer place with good food - nothing fancy. Will definately be back - maybe for a real meal next time.

After attending a Yelp Elite event, I just had to go back.We opted for just appetizers this time around, so I'll just have to go back again for a full meal.But I couldn't resist .. they had pierogi ... I love pierogi. And, theirs were pretty good. We also had thier pretzel and pulled pork sliders. BBQ sauce on the pork sliders, just a little spicy .. a nice bite, not too hot. Pretzels are amazing.So this brewery (the one on Second Street in Reno has no food) decided to venture into eats. They paired up with a great chef and a bartender that makes gourmet signature drinks.There are lots of food options in the area, but don't forget to give this one a try. You won't be sorry.

I've been wanting to come here for a while since they've added food and finally made it! What a great addition to this area. It really puts Imbib on the map and makes them stand out as a Reno brewery much more than before when they only had the downtown location which doesn't serve food. The building has so much more space than I realized. We walked over from the movie theater so I initially thought it was just the smaller bar area, then realized there's a whole other dining side in the room over! We hung out at the bar where there is a digital beer menu, QR codes on the table to scan for the food menu, and board games nearby to choose from if you want an activity. They have several events and deals throughout the week. We thought they were playing excellent music over the speakers that really added to the overall vibe. There are two separate outdoor patios, dogs are allowed outside on both. I got the Fill My Belly Blonde and my husband got the Golden Child, both really good! He requested an Oktoberfest now that it is almost fall and they had one! He really liked that one as well. Service was good, we were checked on appropriately and never felt like we were waiting on someone to come by. There is also a self-serve water station in this bar area. We wanted a snack and decided to split the poutine with a side of beer cheese. This dish was delicious! We couldn't believe how much sausage meat came on top and how filling this appetizer was. Don't skip out on the beer cheese, that was an awesome addition. Based on the food and drinks from this quick visit, I can't wait to come back and try more soon!

We absolutely love IMBIB! The food is amazing. We always go hard on appetizers... Perogies, Cheese Curds, Pretzel!! Everything is super delicious and sharable. I am a big fan of the American Sausage. My husband loved the Pulled Pork Sliders! My daughter had the salmon, and it was cooked perfectly and so flavorful! The service was great, Al was so friendly and attentive. Of course the beers never disappoint. We did a flight so we could try multiple varieties. A great experience overall and a perfect end or start to a day of back to school shopping! We will be back!Vegetarian options: Vegan Sausage option!Kid-friendliness: Kid meals and comfortable environment for kids!

Yum, yum, YUM!!! My hubby and I came here for a super quick little hang out on a Sunday afternoon. We had tried their beers before but wanted to try the food. Soooo glad we did. The space is huge and has a great vibe to it with music and a big bar. The service was fantastic and she helped us find beers we liked a lot. The best was the pulled pork sliders that we ordered. It was their special for the day, and they are a little spicy with a great crunch from the big pickle on each slider. We will be back!! So glad they added food to their menu!! Oh, and don't forget their beers. It's why we are here! I got the Bok bok begak, and my husband for the strataspheric. Both are the best, and the reason we are here! Thanks Imbib! Loved it!!
Love it!
