My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

We visited The Chapel Tavern in Midtown Reno and it was genuinely one of the best experiences ever…read more The bartender was fantastic and made the visit memorable by creating custom drinks based on our alcohol preferences which was such a fun and personal touch. We had two very different tastes (vodka and tequila) and she nailed both drinks perfectly. The bar felt clean, welcoming and comfortable even with its edgy vibe. I also loved the tarot cards they provide! I think they may have been intended as coasters (lol) but I kept mine as a souvenir and now use it as my bookmark. It's become one of my favorite little keepsakes. Location and parking: it's on a main strip right on the corner with a small parking lot but there's also accessible street parking in the neighborhood. I highly recommend it and will definitely return anytime I'm in Reno

The staff here is absolutely incredible, big shoutout to Erica and Paul for always bringing warm energy and making everyone feel welcome. Whether you're there for the music, the crowd, or just a laid-back good time, the vibe is spot on. Great tunes, great people, and a staff that genuinely elevates the experience, Poor Devil Saloon is one of those local favorites you'll want to come back to again and again.

It's that perfect golden brown shatter that stays crisp until the very last bite. Great service, cozy vibes, and a dish that never misses. We'll be back!!

One reason why I love this place so much is how connected this place is to the community, where there are solid connections to different organizations if you're interested in that. For a social night, there's nothing missing! There's countless games and if you are overwhelmed, you can ask for recommendations and they got it. The drinks are pretty solid too, with lots of choices. I love getting to try out different games before committing to getting one for the family.

Have you ever committed to something but felt indifferent about doing it? Well, that was me until I…read morearrived. To put it lightly, I was pleasantly surprised about this affordable, fun game spot. Not to mention it's an easy option for a second date. To start, you walk into an expansive amount of board game options. The walls are lined from floor to ceiling with any game you can imagine! There are seating options for your group at a table or just have an intimate evening at the bar. They have a bar with beer and cider on draft and a few canned and non-alcoholic options. You won't find hard liquor, which will keep things from getting too messy. If you've played Uno with a spirited group, then you can appreciate this. Staff is friendly and helps you with any questions you have. You may want to reserve your space since almost every chair was filled on a Wednesday night. It's a cozy atmosphere that is absolutely worth experiencing with your friends.

I was the first patron of the day and had the place to myself for about 45 minutes. Bartender greeted and treated me very nicely even though I sat outside and just ordered the one drink open and close the tab, she still came to check on me. I read a book and enjoyed my French 75. The patio is beautiful and small. The inside is absolutely adorable with brick walls and a romantic vibe. Gorgeous bar area. Small, intimate. I loved the feel of the place. I felt right at home all by myself but would happily come back with others.

Absolutely delicious all with great balance and profiles, we have made this our favorite summer spot. Nestled in the middle of midtown, there is intimate seating inside but the vibes outside are wonderful, especially as the sun goes down on a summer evening.

The food is next level, with Chef Sean as the secret weapon in the kitchen. Every dish feels intentional, elevated, and consistently on point. And then there's the bar... the mixology is just as impressive. Whether you're ordering a classic or something creative, the cocktails are crafted with the same level of care as the food. What I love most is how versatile it is. I've been there on a weeknight just to unwind and soak in the atmosphere, and it's just as perfect on the weekends meeting up with friends. And when it comes to their events... drag bingo, drag brunch, and special occasions... they know how to create an experience that's fun, inclusive, and unforgettable. This isn't just a bar, it's a staple in Midtown. One of those places you keep coming back to, again and again.

It was still pretty crowded which was nice to see, so we grabbed a spot at the bar. The bartender was friendly and quick to serve us. We ordered some draft beers, they had a good selection available. We then ordered the Crab and Artichoke skillet as an appetizer, and the Stuffed Avocado salad and Fish and Chips as our entrees. The skillet came out first but shortly after we received our entrees. That was actually a good thing because they were a good compliment to eat all together. It was more than enough food for 2 people and everything was delicious. The stuffed Avocado salad was interesting and it was delicious. The fish and chips were good, the fish was more of a tender which was actually nice because it wasn't greasy. Not sure I would order it again because there are so many other good options on the menu, but it was good. The artichoke and Crab skillet was excellent as well. We both left satisfied and impressed by the overall quality and service, already planning to go back again when the patio opens because they will let you have dogs which is always a big bonus!
