White wine. Pan is Alive beer & Playa Dust...plus the menu.
Adria D.

Just beer & wine. The bartenders are always nice . Cute, clean and small. The restaurant was amazing but sadly they closed.

Cider

Popped in for a refreshing cider on thus hot summer weekend day. Nice to have a refuge from outlet mall shopping. Love the outside seating with the shade sails for shade and privacy. Service was great. Moderately busy. Great food options for a quick bite.

Apps for lunch

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.

My wife and I had a pretty good experience here. The food was fantastic. All of it. I ordered the Argentinian sausage and my wife got the sea food sausage. Both portions were just enough and the flavors were outstanding. The service from our waiter was good. He was attentive, friendly and patient (I had a hard time deciding on what to order). My only two "complaints" are how exceptionally long it took for us to receive our tab (it wasn't a busy night) and the bourbon/peach cocktail I ordered was substantially watered down and flavorless. The beer, on the other hand, was pretty good.

Today's Legends of Beer Festival was great, gets better every year. So many beers so little time. Check in was very efficient, with good staffing. The area was set up to accommodate and perfect ambiance. Enjoyed the ScavengBeer Hunt. Thanks Matt and Imbib for hosting.

Beer: 5/5 stars Food: 3/5 stars Pickled Egg Appetizer: I love this appetizer and I've ordered it several times. The turmeric eggs don't have a very strong flavor to them but the beet eggs are really lovely and sweet. Both pickle flavors pair really well with the stone ground mustard. The pickle slices are nice but it would be nice to see spears or a veggie variety. Fries: Satisfying fries with fancy flaky salt on top. Maybe too much salt but it was easily remedied with a quick brush off. The fancy dips are what really makes the fries especially worth ordering. The curry ketchup was especially amazing with a strong curry flavor. Absolutely addicting. The gochujang aioli also had a lovely subtle flavor. Beer: Always and forever incredible. I can't count the number of times I've come here when it was just a bar. Their selection is always diverse enough to please everyone in the group. My favorite flavor is their own beer Candy Cigarettes. I must get it any time it's available. Ambiance: A very chill bar atmosphere with friendly people. Truly the customer service here stands out. Great for groups or for couples. Outdoor seating available. One wall of the new restaurant space opens completely for an open air vibe on nice days. Really a great place to hang out.

What a cool new spot! Food was absolutely delicious! Service was a little slow. But otherwise food was good, good atmosphere, and a lot of beer options! The sausage flight was amazing!!! For someone who us polish & german i was very impressed with the sausages and pierogis! Will definitely be back for those!!

Yay for Vegan options!! I love having choices and they have at least 3. I had the vegan Berliner currywurst and my non-vegan bf had the Portuguese white bean and sausage soup. It was so good that I didn't even get a picture if it before it was consumed. The service was quick, attentive and friendly. Our server today was Al and they were top notch! Al was great with recommendations and checked on us often. It's a pretty new restaurant so the dining area was pristine and modern. The taproom is right next door in case you just want drinks. Can't wait to come back and try another of their delicious vegan dishes. Update- tried the vegan gumbo and I can't recommend this dish. I wasn't expecting it to be a traditional tasting soup but it just tasted like canned spinach mostly. Everything else has been great so far and I'm still excited to try more of their vegan dishes in the future.

Indoor bar area. Larger restaurant area in the room to the right.

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!

I came here with my mother just to enjoy some drinks with my uncle, I very rarely go out just to drink as I'm not a fan of just drinking, but I decided to come. The interior of the restaurant was surprisingly large with two separate areas connected together by a single door! It's a nice little area, though I'm not a fan of wood and metal chairs as I find them uncomfortable. However they had a very large variety of drinks to choose from and the prices seemed good. I got a nice sour huckleberry and I enjoyed the sour kick and the berry taste, it's the kinds of drinks I enjoy. Me and the family all had a nice time. For people who enjoy drinking this is a nice place to come for sure with lots of space! Definitely come here with some pals for a great time!

Bok Bok bagak- yum!!
Mari C.

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!!

This was my first time at Imbib, and 'twas a great experience. Our waitress, Al, was super friendly and really supported the positive vibes throughout our time there. She encouraged us to get as many samplers as we wanted before ordering full size - and it paid off! I found out that I love the Affogato brew, it truly tasted like coffee and milk in an interestingly carbonated, yeasty way. Apparently the fried bolognese sandwich is a kitchen favorite, so I had to try it. And wow, it did not disappoint! I definitely recommend trying it, and there's an option to get 2 sandwiches in the order (and next time I will do that). The side of coleslaw was unfortunately not enjoyable for me, but because it was non-traditional - so instead of creamy sauce it was pickled and vinegary. Overall I really enjoyed my time here and would 100% come back!

When in the Reno/Sparks area, If you like a great IPA or…read moreLager, Revision should be a stop. Love their beers, although I favor their selections of West Coast IPA's over the NE types and Lagers, all the beer they make ia pretty great. In house, they will allow a quick sample before purchasing any of their brews to go, or for consumption on site. Their is an area for larger or small parties to sit, enjoy the beer and socialize, although on this trip, I just grabbed some beer to go, to bring back home.

Time for an update and unfortunately, losing a star. My…read morebiggest reason for this is their social media/text campaign. I don't think a place of business should be sending out texts encouraging people to purchase a specific product that is not currently offered and that's exactly what Revision did. What a waste of peoples' time. Unsubscribed in disappointment and frustration. Social media director, take note! Another complaint is that they have now become "family friendly". I do not want to go to a brewery for adult beverages and end up having to listen to children screaming and running about. They are also no longer allowing outside food to be brought in because they have on site food, serving pizza and hot dogs. We tried a pizza on our last visit, $21 for a large 3 meat which is big enough for 2 adults. Pizza was meh, 3 stars, definitely could have used more toppings. We were thankful it did come out fresh. On a positive note, if you like what seems to be an abundance of IPA style beers they have you covered! They did have some enjoyable, yet expensive stouts on tap along with a couple other non IPA styles.

We ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, the Brie & Roasted Garlic Flatbread, and an order of Depot Wings with the Asian Soy Ginger sauce. My son enjoyed his chicken sandwich and gave it a thumbs up. My wife shared a few wings with me, and they were excellent. They were nice and crispy with a flavorful Asian sauce. They were definitely the star of the meal. The flatbread was okay. It was slightly burnt, which dried it out a bit, but it wasn't terrible. For drinks, I went with the Boris (Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout), which was delicious. My son tried the Prospector (German Maibock), which also received a thumbs up. Overall, it was a very good stop. I would definitely recommend it and would gladly return.

The wedge was super fresh, the blue cheese dressing was lite with fresh crumbles of blue cheese, the chicken was grilled and had a hint of citrus. The crab sandwich was on toasted sour dough, melted cheese and the crab was served chilled mixed with fresh herb, celery & mayo. It was a great lunch, the view is beautiful. We have gone there before and gotten the salt & vinegar chips, so good but didn't do an appetizer this tune. We did try the Woody cocktail and a strawberry lemonade. Both were refreshing and delicious.

After learning they only offer the brunch buffet 3 times…read morea year (Easter, Mothers Day, & Fathers Day) we decided to try the buffet as it would be the last one since until Easter 2027. The staff and restaurant were lovely as always, and you really can't beat the views from dining on the outdoor patio overlooking the Marina. If you have general hesitations when it comes to buffet food, you can put them at ease when at the Water Bar, as even the typical 'filler food' like salad and mashed potatoes were out-of-this-world good. I'm not kidding when I say their buffet-style Caesar Salad was better than any made-to-order Caesar I've had. Same goes for their garlicy mashed potatoes, they were heavenly! The poached prawns were prepared perfectly, and the snow crab legs and claws were delicious and easy to eat (if you're used to shelling your own crab). The soy-glazed salmon with wild rice was surprisingly flavorful and melted in my mouth. Even the mac & cheese was rich and creamy- I can't think of a single item I tried that was sub-par. I ended the meal with a slice of carrot cake that I kept thinking about long after I left. It was moist and well-spiced with a very decadent frosting, the perfect end to a delicious brunch. I will say, we weren't aware the cost per person for the buffet was $80 (it wasn't displayed on the buffet menu, our server didn't share this when telling us about the buffet, and we didn't ask). We have no regrets on opting for the brunch buffet, as again all the food was truly incredible. However, an $80 price tag will likely keep us from opting for the brunch buffet again in the future.

She was right. We went a couple of items from the happy hour menu and were not disappointed. Calamari fries were served piping hot and tender. The Asian wraps' flavor hit all the notes. Service was good. I love a great patio, and this one was large, comfortable, and offered great shade. But do note if you are there to talk with friends, you are at a very very busy intersection. The traffic noise was loud at times. I would still dine on outside given the choice. There's lots of immediate parking around the building and nearby.

Cut and pasted from their website: "Slieve means "A…read moreMountain" in Irish Gaelic, their family roots." Quality/Quantity - Been an extremely long stressful day! So I NEEDED a break from the day to just relax and stop thinking! I gave my wife a few options, a few breweries to choose from (or for me to just go alone, which she would not have let me drink and drive, especially all the way from North Reno). So she/we chose to go to Slieve as I have not been there yet. Actually, all 3 choices were breweries. The good news is that there are more and more new breweries opening. The bad news is that there are more and more good breweries closing, in ALL my hometowns... My first time in a nano brewery; cool. Today I got (and tried the following), all Slieve brands; support local: Oh, I did not know you had a happy hour M-F from 2-5pm; I just missed it by 13 minutes... Should not have spent so much time outside taking pictures for Yelp, lol. Pale Ale - Good, but I prefer more flavor. This is currently my second "go to" beer after reds. Jimbo Porter - Better, but then I tried the Cookie Monster! I also did not taste the coconut. Cookie Monster - My favorite of the beers, so much flavor. And I am NOT usually a sweet beer drinker. It was not an overwhelming stout, probably due to the sweetness, but you can definitely taste the chocolate and slightly coffee and caramel flavors. I would get this again, but it would always have to be my last beer due to the flavors. Beers that I need to come back for when available are: Your reds, IPAs and of course your "Trinity Tripel." Ambiance - On your "about" page on your website, it says you are still looking for a home for your brewery...? Is that accurate or does that page need to be updated? Cool space, indoor and outdoor seating. Bar and table seating. 2 bars, one the back, probably only used for events. Semi private room when you walk in. Ping pong, darts, games, cornhole, cool decor on walls throughout to read, etc. Open 7 days a week, see their website. Yelp's hours/days differ slightly. Event spaces are available; see their website.. Service - Good. We were also greeted by Shannon when she and Phillip came in later for a drink or two... Phillip was too busy drinking to say hi, lol. Price - $8 a beer. The typical cost for good craft beer. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2022 with your nanobrewery; I wish you the best and am glad you own the building to help you weather some "storms."

They have a spacious building and super clean! The staff are friendly and accommodating. There is no food on the premises to purchase, but you can bring your own food or ordered inn. It was fun to sample Girl Scout cookies and taste beer. We started with 6 tastings but they threw in a couple extra. The event was well organized and the Girl Scouts were there to sell their cookies. I was a Girl Scout 50 years ago. I think a box of cookies was $1.00 - $1.25. I paid $7. Times have certainty changed. The brewery is in an interesting location that I never knew existed before, but now I do and look forward to my return. Thank you for making our day fun and memorable!!!
