I wish i had got his name because i spend at least $500.00 everytime i go in there. I will not go back and reckomend nobody else to go their read more

I stopped here on Wednesday afternoon to get a sandwich to go. The place was empty. I was literally the only customer in house. Normally I go to the other location on N. McCarran, on the other side of the freeway, but I was driving out of town on 4th St, so this one was more convenient. It seemed weird for it to be so empty, as every time I've stopped at the other location at the same approximate time, it's been crowded. I ordered a club sandwich with avocado to go. The check came with an additional $1 for the to go order, which I should have been informed of before they charged my card, but whatever. So I got my sandwich, took it to my car and started driving down the road, nibbling on the onion rings. When I got to the sandwich, I realized there was no avocado (for which they also charge extra), the bread was over toasted (especially on the inside), and the meat was bunched up in the center of the sandwich. The waiter should check to-go orders before handing them to the customer, because there is only one chance to make to-go orders right. I can only surmise the reason the other location is crowded and this one is crickets, is because of the inattentive service and preparation at this location. After all, I was the only customer in the joint, and they still messed up my to-go order. The other location gets it right every time, even when they're slammed. Go figure. read more

Yay! I love finding places that actually live up to their star rating on Yelp! I can never travel without this app! Everything we had here was so good! Highly recommend the Tide Burger and the Pork Pot stickers were amazing! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area as well. Drew's and Sekulas from South Carolina read more

Just seems like another place with video poker machines, a couple of TVs, staff that are only semi engaged in their job. Went there and sat on the family side. Pretty slow day, however it took 25 minutes to get a beer, this after it took 10 minutes to get someone to even come by the table. Typical bar food. Not bad but nothing that will knock your socks off either. I just don't get it... Some locals called that place great. read more

We all work in the service industry so we usually get off late and travel in groups. That being said, on the nights Will is on the bar, it's a no brainer where the 5-10 of us are going to end up. Great personality, keeps the atmosphere fun and remembered all of us and what we drank after our 1st trip. Impressive. read more

Always enjoys going to the Flowing Tide! Doesn't matter what you order the food is always good! My go to is the Tide Turkey! Keep up the great work everyone. read more

Was there several months ago. Opened a tab with the bartender, gave him my card and had a few drinks while playing pool with a friend. A few hours later I go to close the tab and the bartender says he does not have my physically have my card or have it on file for a tab. Instead of arguing I quietly pay the $23 bill in cash and leave... I contacted my bank which said there was a$101 hold placed on the card. I had to deal with the hassle of filing a fraud claim and lost card with my bank. Go back the next day and speak to the manager who cannot find my card or produce a signed receipt for the $101 transaction that posted to my account. read more

Wonderful service, food and atmosphere. This Tide is divided into two areas: smoking and non-smoking. A great place to take the kids before a game (arcade included) or hang out with your friends and play pool. read more

The service was good and the staff was very approachable and nice. With this being said however, the area of the restaurant that was specifically for families smelled HEAVILY of cigarettes. This seems extremely counterintuitive if you ask me. read more

Visited a couple weeks ago after a bike ride. Beer was nice and cold, and food was fine. I was a little put-off by the layout.. Smokers up front, diners in the back. As a non smoker, I felt like a second class citizen. The law in Nevada is tough... if you want to serve food, you have to be smoke free. I guess I just prefer smoke free places. read more

Me and my family eat here all of the time! We love the atmosphere, and though it's a pub our kids enjoy their menu and the staff are always amazing with the kids as well! We had Bonnie as our server recently and we've had her a few times before and every time the service from her has been great! She's super quick always on top of everything our drinks are always full and we never have to ask for anything! Food is always great, we love the happy hour menu too! Great drinks great food great place! read more

My husband and I went back to Flowing Tide this morning because we really enjoy the food. I got my usual Reno (formally Denver) omelet. I can't have bread because I'm gluten free and I wasn't in the mood for potatoes. I wanted a side salad with blue cheese. Not only did they make me a salad to sub the potatoes and bread, it was loaded with veggies on top. Love! The omelet was delicious as always. I'm never disappointed. Eli had a Rueben sandwich because why not! You can order anything you want from the menu! He loved it and mentioned over and over how good it was. But let me just tell you what the actual star of the show was today. Sasha and the other employees. I'm having a rough go at the moment. I'm losing my Aunt Mary to cancer. She's just days away from passing. Today I needed a big glass of champagne (let's be honest, champagne everyday would be great). Not even minutes after Sasha brought it over, I attempted to pick it up and it slipped out of my hand spilling all over me, all over my food.... everywhere. Talk about humiliating. My husband jumped into action. He ran to get a towel as I ran for the bathroom. What a great man. As I opened the door to the bathroom, there was Sasha washing her hands at the sink. I humbly advised her what happened and after she consoled me, she bolted out of the bathroom to help. How incredible is that? I came out of the bathroom feeling pretty sheepish. My husband was there with one of the employees cleaning up all the champagne. My plate of food was gone. "Emily, they're making you a new omelet. Sasha grabbed your plate." Within minutes I had another full glass of champagne in front of me. The chef even personally brought me my remade omelet and so quickly. The service and employees were amazing. I wasn't made to feel dumb or annoying. They made an already embarrassing, emotional moment memorable but in a good way. You have no idea how much that meant to me. It could have gone so much different. I have tears in my eyes as I type this. Sometimes we all need reminders on how amazingly and loving humans can be. Thank you. They all deserve a round of appraise for their kindness. Of course, I will be back. Let's just hope I'm not such a train wreck next time. Thank you again! read more

Will aka Man Crush Thursday is the best bartender I've ran across. He always knows my order and treats me like family. I highly recommend visiting him. He makes tide so fun for everyone and he accommodates everyone that he meets. Will is the best! read more

I love this place! Excellent drink deals and appetizers!!! The chicken tacos are amazing! My server was the absolute sweetest! My friends and I encountered an extremely creepy man. He was making uncomfortable comments towards us. We are all 21 and he is easily over 50. Our sweet server noticed that he was trying to engage in conversations with us. Her and the other restaurant management kicked this man out. We were so shocked that our server went to that measure to make us feel welcome! Love this place! read more

I eat at this specific Flowing Tide about once a week. I live up the street, so it's convenient and I enjoy taking my friends and family there. It's a relaxing environment, with a great staff and exquisite food. Their Cabo Wrap is by far my favorite thing on the menu. I have never been disappointed with The Flowing Tide. read more

My college friends go here all the time for late night happy hour (10 pm - 12). It's often crowded, but we can usually find a table, and it isn't too loud. The decor is fun. Their happy hour apps are fantastic. Try the nachos. Stay away from the fishbowls--they taste terrible and are mostly ice. Just get your own dang drinks. read more

I've only been here once. It had a pretty good vibe. I'm REALLY not a bar person so I am usually pretty uncomfortable in places like this. But I felt pretty good here. I had some good chicken wings and a couple beers. We played pool with some friends. I may not be a reliable reviewer for a bar given my inexperience with them but I enjoyed this one. read more

We are here often and have received amazing food with outstanding service. Breakfast today was the best, ever. It is highly recommended.

I usually go to a different flowing tide but a coworker and I decided to go there after work yesterday afternoon to grab a drink and since you can smoke inside there we opted for this location. I ordered my usual absolute and club soda and stuck 20 in the machine and lost it no biggie. Keep in mind I'm a bartender and I know the gaming rules and tip 2 to 3 dollars a drink. I stuck in another 20 and started winning. I order another drink and the female bartender said she couldn't comp them because I only stuck in 20 dollars that round. No big deal it was happy hour so the drinks are cheap anyways, but it's the principal. I like to sit gamble a few bucks, have a few drinks and leave to unwind some days. She literally embarrassed me at the bar in front of my coworker and other guests. I left and went to my normal flowing tide and met up with friends there. The bartenders know me there and know I gamble and don't hover over me to make sure I'm gambling. I told my bartender about what happened and he said that he gets complaints about that location all the time. That girl needs more training along with people skills read more

My favorite watering hole!! Food is always good and beer is cold and I never have an empty glass. Bartenders and waitresses are awesome friendly and on top of it. Plus it's close to home. Great place to watch the games and listen to music. read more

Great food and great service. We go there all the time. I like to try something different every time I go there. And I am always wowed by the excellent food and amount I get.. Great midnight snack. The servers always tell me about what I am ordering and have sold on trying something new. I am a picky eater. Great place for the whole family. A nice part of town and easy to get there.Hometown atmosphere. Love the gaming and there is always the game on the big screen tv's. Greg L read more

What a great place for happy hour, dinner to. We are here couple times a week and enjoy visiting with all the regulars. Andria is a great server, food is good to. read more

Always good breakfasts! Shawn is the best at the bar and Ming makes sure the food is exceptional

Love the staff, the giveaways, the happy hours. Sweetest bar tenders ever! It's been a good 4 years as a local up here now. Came home from the military and what do you know, I get a discount for that! Thank you for caring about your service members and being true blue Americans. You guys are simply the best and I look forward to more great memories here. Stay true Flowing Tide! P.s. No one else has military discounts around here. read more

Always a great bar to visit. Had the worst experience recently with a male bartender Justin being very disrespectful to another female employee. Was also disrespectful to a female customer. Will not come back after this read more

Not a typical flowing tide.....food sub par, tables dirty, staff inattentive if not rude. Love flowing tide but won't go back to this location. read more

This is my by far my favorite neighborhood bar to go to. The prices are reasonable, happy hour or not, compared to much of Reno. The service is always friendly, fast, and genuine. Shout out to the bartenders, Heather and Will, who always provide a fun experience. Always a pleasure to come in when they're working. Recently though, been a bit disappointed that due to their Wi Fi I haven't been able to use the jukebox via the TouchTunes app and credit/debit card tips are taking an exorbitant amount of time (over a week) to be posted to my bank statement. Overall, always a great experience, but I do hope they fix their Wi Fi soon. read more

We love this place. We come here every Sunday for breakfast!!! Friendly service and great food!!!

Ok so here's the trick with this place. There is only 1. When you walk up to the building there are 2 doors with quite a bit of space between them. The door on your right is for smokers and those who want to belly up to the bar, gamble, shoot pool etc. The door on your left is for non-smokers, families who want to sit down, arcade for the kiddos, and for those who'd like to order to-go. Being a non-smoker I made the tragic mistake of 1st opening the door on my right and was assaulted by the smell of cig. smoke and immediately stepped right back out. So my review of that side is lacking since I spent approx. .03 seconds in there. However on the left side I was able to breathe so I walked in. I was immediately welcomed by a very sweet waitress. Since it was my first time there and I was alone I asked to do a to-go order. She directed me to a table & gave me a menu. She was back within moments with a tall glass of ice water! I ordered a cheeseburger, med. rare-hold the onion- with fries. Boring I know but I have to start with the basics to decide if I like the food there. Not knowing how long I'd have to wait I pulled out my Ian Flemming novel to pass the time but not before I noticed all the happy families with kids, couples enjoying their meals and what looked like a few after work people sipping adult drinks and happily chatting. A few kids were playing over in the small arcade. From my advantage there were two large screen TV's on the walls that had the basketball game on however the sound was muted. Fun rock 'n roll from the 80's was playing in the speakers from above at an appropriate volume. I sipped my water & delved into my book to see what James Bond was going to do next. What seemed like only maybe 10 min. later another waitress came over with my check. She asked me if I'd like some ranch dressing for my fries and I know you never turn down ranch dressing when it's offered! I paid, got my hot food and left. Once home I am very pleased to announce what I discovered was a perfectly seasoned and cooked cheeseburger of ample size. Lots of lightly seasoned fries with a small container of tasty ranch dressing. What I didn't discover until I was done with those was a delicious pickle spear under the wax paper that was laid down to protect my burger & fries from it's juices! Since the parking lot was packed full and the smoking side appeared very busy I know I am NOT the 1st person to find this place but I am very proud to give this FT #5 location it's first 5 star review after asking Yelp to list them! I WILL BE BACK! YUM! read more

So let me first say that I love flowing tide, I've been coming to the different locations for years. I live right down the street so I was excited to see it opened here so that I didn't have to drive down the street to the other one. I come here all the time almost weekly. The 2 sides are a little confusing but you figure it out soon, it's decorated great and the food is awesome, the happy hour stuff is a steal! The only complaints I have is that the bathroom wasn't as clean as I would have liked it to be and I've had bad luck with service. I've had the same waitress, heather, the last 2 times and the girl ignores me the whole time and is unpleasant to say the least. I always have to stop other waitresses to get my order or my check... When I see her coming I go to the bar instead. Lindsey at the bar is awesome and I wish I could remember the other waitress I like so much, but she's a tiny girl with long hair who always automatically brings extra cherries for my daughters Shirley temple which makes her feel special. Overall this place is awesome but service is a hot or miss depending on the waitress you get and how busy they are. read more

Best lunch at Tide 5. Waitress was so sweet , food came out fast and was delicious!!!

My wife and i had lunch here today, we had been to Flowing tide 1 many times and enjoyed it. We had turned from 4th street onto McCarran and we noticed a sign for a Flowing tide we didn't know existed so we pulled in. Big mistake we walked into what was apparently the smoking area, and after looking around and noticing the stench of cigarette smoke, a server said "this side is smoking and thru that door is Non". The non smoking side is old dirty & dated with screaming kids at the arcade, which is nothing like flowing tide 1 it was just awful. We ordered Nachos grande for us to split, I'm still not sure why the waitress (who obviously hates her job) asked us if we wanted chicken or beef, because even though we asked for beef, we were not able to find more than a spoon full. Our waitress didn't check on us even once after our food arrived, and after we finally received our bill, we had to get up from our table to find someone to take our payment. With so many choices in Reno NOPE NOPE NOT EVER AGAIN !!! read more

We came here last week and we were really impressed with the customer service! We got three appitezers mozerella sticks, potstickers, and boneless wings. All tasted great! We also got a mushroom swiss burger, a mexican burger, and a blt. My only complaint was that the bread on my blt was over toasted which made it a little difficult to eat. Other than that everything was great! Our waiteress was very attentive and got us refills for our drinks before we even had to ask. We will be back! read more

I had made a reservation for a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I had accidentally showed up to the wrong location. They were willing to take care of my small party of 7 people. I was sitting down waiting for the party to show up and we had a waitress that from the very beginning was awful. I believe her name was Bonnie. While waiting for the party members to show up she had given me attitude from the very beginning. She asked what I was going to do? And how many? At that time I didn't know who I was waiting on and I told her to be honest I'm not sure how many people are going to be showing up. Because I had said that she had taken the menus away from our table. She then mentioned to me that everyone should just order drinks and food from her. Well I was still unaware of what people were doing and she came and just said why are people going to the bar? I told you "we can handle the drinks from the bar as well." I said "well some people are staying in the bar and some are just staying here." She sat there and continued to be rude to me about everything. At one time I was by myself and she completely just ignored people who showed up at the table and just went somewhere else to help the next table. I told my boyfriend's mom that we should of just sat in the bar because it was just an awkward and frustrating situation to be in. The people from my party when they were in the bar had seen Bonnie sit and argue with the bartender Heather about her taking my party's business. I will no longer eat in the dining room due to the rude behavior I had received. Heather had taken over and treated my family and my party with the upmost respect and we love heather. We will always come see her and just prefer to see her amazing self. She truly is a gem!!! Keep Heather!!!!! Thank you Heather for everything!! Heather not only stood up for my family and party but she also took care of food and drinks for the rest of the evening without hesitation!!! read more

Just went to play pool and drink beer. Didn't try the food. Won't go back because of all the smoking but will try your other non smoking location sometime. read more

I have to retract my previous 5 star rating. Hosted two similar parties at this restaurant within a few months of each other. First one went great and decided to host another party here. Second time went badly. I made reservations for this event weeks in advance. There was not enough food as promised and the way they served it few pierces of appetizers at a time for the amount of guests was embarrassing. The manager was made aware of the problem. I called later to try to reach the manager to discuss what happened and no call back. So on top of messing up a special occasion they are now avoiding handling of the situation. I had recently gave a friend a referral who was planning a to have a party. She so happened to be a guest at my party and witnessed what happened. She is no longer considering this restaurant. Half my guests were guest of my previous party. They noticed the difference. So there may not be just my family that will not be returning to this restaurant. Very disappointing considering they boasted they handle theses types of parties all the time. read more
