Of course we always try to make it here for the Chilibeso beer. We grabbed a seat and anxiously asked our waiter Colton for a cold pint. He sadly announced they were out. We were so disappointed...so he asked the boss if we could buy from the counter...but alas, that is considered to be illegal. He then said the boss said a pint of anything else was on the house! Wow! What a great business to take care of the customer. We ordered some Nashville chicken fingers and fries and the Kung pao Brussels on happy hour....Food arrived and it was really good...most specifically the Brussels were amazing! We bough two four packs of Chilibeso to go. A huge thanks to Colton, who made lemons into lemonade for this visit!!! read more

This is my favorite spot for lunch (with beer of course) of late. The outdoor seating is so relaxing and lovely, and pretty quiet. My friend and I came here several times after a hike, and we really enjoyed the meal, beer, and the atmosphere. The server Jacob P. is our favorite. He's really kind and attentive. Food-wise, the cob salad is fresh and satisfying, the Pan Asian Noodle Salad is excellent, lettuce wrap goes really well with beer. I'm sure we'll frequent here for after-hike lunch! read more

We're visiting from out of state and had an amazing experience here! I ordered the Great Basin Burger with the Wisconsin cheddar soup and the Nevada Gold beer. Everything was absolutely delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly, the soup was rich and flavorful, and the beer paired so well with the meal. A huge shoutout to our server, Anthony, who really made the experience even better. He was super helpful in guiding us through their beer selection and made great recommendations. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Another restaurant I've come to many times over the years, and surprisingly have not reviewed! I've been visiting this Great Basin location for well over 20 years and am happy it's still here. It's my go to spot whenever I'm in Victorian square and one of my favorites in the summer when you can sit on the patio, especially if there is some live music playing. On this particular visit, my wife and I came in for a late lunch. It wasn't very crowded and we were seated quickly and our server was attentive throughout the meal. Everything was great, I ordered the French Dip with fries, and my wife ordered the burger with fries. I will say, adding the extras on the french dip is not recommended for me as it was harder to dip an I think it actually took away from the goodness of the french dip experience. Not a negative, just a tip! Great Basin is always here when I need it, and it's a staple of the Reno Sparks area with their beer and food. Look forward to the next visit soon! read more

This Great Basin used to be a regular hangout amongst my girlfriends and I in our early 20's. Since then everyone has gotten married and had children. Those meet ups are usually only around the holidays when schedules permit, but we still love an occasional lunch here. My most recent visit was last week for lunch. Colton was our server and was awesome. He was just the right amount of attentive without hovering. I love their nachos here and knew with my entree I had to order the smaller portion to make room for my pumpkin beer and patty melt. They were just as I remembered them. I'm glad we ordered them without meat. All were tasty, but I felt the cowboy burger was a little too saucey and my patty melt was over cooked, but not inedible. The great service provided made up for my burger being over cooked. Thank you Colton, hope to see you next time. read more

I absolutely love this place! The outdoor seating is perfect in the summer. Anthony was my server and he was so friendly and helpful! I got the salmon tacos with sweet potato fries - both are to die for. The only thing is I miss the Ahi Sandwich. That was my go-to last summer and I hope they bring it back! read more

Good option to eat at any night of the week! Our server was really efficient and had a good sense of humor. All drinks and meals were 100% accurate and came out nice and hot. I had the 50/50 burger. It was so good! Had a perfect charcoal flavor and cooked to perfection. The side of garlic fries were okay. They just tasted like regular fries to me though and the bottom of the dish was pretty oily. I'm sure others love them though. The restaurant is self was tidy. They were actually fairly busy on a Sunday evening. Everyone was taken care of it seemed but there was a bit of a wait to be seated due to not having a hostess. This is a perfect option for any night of the week or grabbing a bite to eat before catching a movie down the street at Victorian Galaxy. Recommend! read more

Popped in for dinner. I reviewed their menu before going. Great selections. We were able to be seated quickly even though it was busy. The wait staff was friendly and energetic. I opted for the Mac n cheese topped with pork belly. Fabulous choice, paired with the bread. So cheesy and delicious My husband chose the Basin burger and fries. The burger was so juicy and cooked to perfection. The noise level was ridiculous. Couldn't even have a conversation without having to repeat myself. We were seated next to a party that thought the entire restaurant needed to hear their conversation. Note to self. I'm coming back on a different day and time. Popular place for a Friday night dinner crowd. I cannot wait to try some other items on their menu. The prices were so affordable especially for the serving sizes. It is a definite must try if you haven't already been.b read more

My husband and I were craving a burger and a beer and decided to check out Great Basin. Staff were really nice and laid back. We got there 35 minutes before happy hour ended and definitely took advantage of the discounts. The only reason why I'm not giving this review 5 stars is because the bread on my burger was dry and didn't make it as good. Other than that everything else was wonderful! read more

It was only recently I espied, off hwy 80, a magnificient tribute to the mining history of Nevada, 36' tall Last Chance Joe. It was Joe that brought me and my luncheon ladies to Victorian Ave for a visit. A few feet away we happened upon Great Basin Brewery and dined. In a nutshell, service, food and ambiance were fantastic. I ordered the chipotle chicken pasta and the chef didn't hold back on the chipolte's in the sauce. The portion was so large I was able to enjoy leftovers for 2 more meals. Please note, if you'd like to try a couple of their beers before ordering one, ask for a "taste" not a "sample", as tastes are free. Our server, Jacob, was friendly, attentive, and a genuinely happy fellow. Everyone agreed their meals were delicious. read more

My husband and I met friends at Great Basin to watch the band New Wave Craze. Hadn't been here in a long time but so glad we went. It was a hot day. The band played on the stage outside. There are table and chairs set up so we can eat and enjoy the band. My husband ordered a guava cider soooo refreshing and not too sweet. He ordered a French dip and fries for his meal. I never get excited about a French dip but this was the best French dip we both had. I ordered a chili beer. Just a little kick not too spicy and refreshing. For food I ordered an ahi sandwich with fries. The ahi was cooked perfectly. The sandwich comes with slaw and wonton chips and brioche bun. Delish!!! We truly enjoyed both the meal/drinks and band. We will come back here more often. read more

I came here with my family after a day out at the river. I had the Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Sandwhich on a Pretzel Brioche with French Fries. Everything was so yummy! My sandwhich had a special sauce that was so tasty and the fries were crispy, just the way I like them. It was a perfect choice. Our Server was also excellent. My only regret is not getting his name, so I could mention him here. The restaurant itself was busseling and there was a band playing outside. A great stop for sure!! read more

Nice brewery just outside of Reno in Sparks. The food is absolutely delicious. We tried the nachos, Mac attack burger and stuffed jalapeños. Hubby loved the burger and said it's the best burger he's ever had and seasoned to perfection. The nachos were very good and the stuffed jalapeño's were delicious. I tried the spicy jalapeño beer. It was okay I'm not a big beer drinker and the heat was nice but for me the underlying flavor was just like a Budweiser. There are no porters or ciders. They do have wine and a bar though. The servers were a bit lacking. Hubby had to go and get containers and we had to take the check in from the patio to pay. read more

We had a fantastic experience. Our server was wonderful. Very cheerful and helpful. The food came out quick and hot. We ordered tacos and the French dip. The food was good. I wish there was a bit more meat in the carne asada tacos, but they were still flavorful. Loved the spaciousness of this location. Bonus there was an outdoor event so live music right outside the doors with packed tables for the fundraiser. We'd definitely go back. read more

Local ingredients inspire their beer. Tasty food. Friendly servers and manager. This is the somewhat smaller Sparks location. They have a parking lot in the back. There is a parking structure and street parking, too. They let me sub fries for a salad. They also have taster to full size beer pours. I had a real enjoyable time here. A taste and slice of a company born in Reno. There are some outdoor seats, but at the moment, it is too cold. read more

At the last minute we decided to go to Great Basin for Valentine's Dinner, since our concert got canceled. I have written several reviews before, but I must tell you how much I loved the Drunken Calms! They were super spicy and a ton of jalapeño in the broth with chopped onions and tomatoes. The flavor was outstanding. The calms were not gritty or tough. The dish came with the homemade bread which paired nicely with my meal along with a new Smash Beer Brew, I ordered, it was nice to get the first pint on happy hour before 6pm. You save yourself a couple dollars. My husband on the other hand ordered the large shepherds pie, it didn't seem large we did ask the server and he said that it was. My husband took his first bite, it's cold... no not on V-Day. We flagged down the waiter & he took it back to the kitchen and then it came out piping hot. Why can't the dish come out like that in the first place, to be honest the place wasn't that busy. We decided not to have any desert and we had another tasty beer instead. Never can go wrong with the beer. read more

You can always count on Great Basin for good pub food and good beers. We come here a lot for lunch or an evening beer. It's the neighborhood pub every neighborhood should have. Last week I had the smash burger (delicious) and a firelit hazy (also delicious). Our server was very accommodating. It's casual, comfortable and friendly, like a neighborhood pub should be. read more

This was my first time trying Nevada's beer. I had a flight of their beers and loved their selection. An added bonus is their beer passport, where you can collect stamps from different breweries! For food, we ordered the crispy fish tacos and the Brewmaster Platter. The fish tacos were just alright, and I could probably skip this dish next time. However, the Brewmaster Platter is a must-try! It's a selection of various meats, sauces, mustard, pickles, and garlic Icky bread. The portion was massive and the price very reasonable. Our group of three could barely finish everything. read more

Came here during hot August nights so I'm not sure if it was more busy than usual, but we were seated within 35 mins. The restaurant was packed, noisy, and high energy.

If I'm in the area again I would try it again. read more

Came here to support local bands and enjoy some drinks and good food. Ordered the brewmasters platter and some guava ciders for my friends birthday. Platter was amazing and the cider was super yummy. Service from the waiter was attentive. The bartender is racist. Literally waiting at the bar for 5 minutes and another person came through behind me and was served before me. She ignored me when I was waiting for another patron and told me to move back from the bar. It was rude and condescending. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for years (really decades), mainly for the craft beer, which is usually excellent. Every now and then we get something to eat. On our last visit we both ordered the french dip. I got the basic version and she got the upgrade with the beer cheese, green onions and peppers. I would recommend getting the upgrade because mine was a little bland and the au jus didn't really help. It definitely looked better than it tasted. My wife ordered the garlic fries and they weren't anywhere near as good as they were back in the day. We did order the Willy Dillys (fried pickle spears) for an appetizer and they were fantastic. read more

I am a big fan of their outdoor, dog friendly seating at this location. The service is hit or miss. Sometimes we get a very attentive waiter/ waitress and sometimes we don't. The last time we came our order was wrong, but we didn't see the waiter until he brought out our check. Not a big deal, but just not what we ordered. The reasons we come back is for their smoked Memphis dry rub wings and beers are always on point. They also offer a 10% Veterans discount which is nice as well. read more
