    A little hole in the wall at Midtown! Local Beer Works is a pretty cool bar along Virginia St., mostly tucked in a corner of a shopping center. They have 31 beers on tap and the staff is super friendly and helpful! Since they have a good amount of beers on tap, they're always happy to offer little tasters. A nice little perk is the popcorn and the numerous amount of games you can play! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great place to bring your pup! Always recommended to have on a leash and be well behaved. If you're in Midtown, definitely worth visiting and grabbing a beer!

    The Rainbow margarita

    Great atmosphere, friendly service! I tired a few different version of their margaritas and decided to order, the rainbow. Margaritas mix and berry cider. Delicious

    This is a solid little spot in Midtown - great beer selection (including drafts and bottles), as well as non-alcoholic options. They have a shelf full of games which is fun, and they often host events such as paint nights and participate in neighborhood events (Dancing in the Streets for example). The inside space is relatively small, but they have picnic tables outside and a large "garage" door that opens. What stands out is the staff, they're all just so super nice and friendly! Also, major bonus is they allow dogs! As long as they're leashed and well-behaved.

    A cozy beer place in the midtown, ideal for small groups. I tried their espresso and Dunkel beers and loved them!

    Immediately I loved the fun vibe. The games and coloring books were a great touch. Nice selection of beer on tap. I'd love to have had a non alcoholic choice.

    I had the berry cider and loved it. Everyone got something different, but everyone loved.

    Decided to stop in for "metalesque burlesque"; something new, intriguing and fun! The bartender Kenzie was fantastic, very outgoing and friendly also very knowledgeable about taps behind the bar. The venue as a whole is small and intimate but more than enough room for a small gathering to sit comfortably together. Great neighborhood stop if you want to relax for a bit or quickly stop in for a drink as you stroll through midtown Reno.

    Flight for your right to paaaaaaatay!

    Cool little spot to have a beer or two while in Midtown. We went in just after they opened for the day and had the place to ourselves. I was able to get a flight and try a number of tasty offerings for a decent price. The open space was super clean and I felt like I was in a neighborhood bar instead of pretentious beer bar. Not that there is anything wrong with a pretentious tap house, but it was nice to have a neighborly feel to my experience while we chilled on a quiet afternoon. Parking nearby can be at a premium but it isn't too far to some sort of parking options unless the area has an event going on. If you are lucky they will have a spot in the parking lot. They do have a handful of games too.

    Cider and Meade

    This place WROCKS! We went here on a hot Friday night looking to have cider on tap. After Googling "cidery", this came up. We knew where it was because we had seen it driving by in the past. Super cool, chill vibes. Totally a place to relax and not think about the outside world or look at your phone. They have coloring for adults, outdoor seating, and nice bathrooms. I loved what they have on tap, which includes, ciders, meads, kombuchas, and mostly local brews (hence the name). Definitely a place I'll recommend to others, I already have!

    Great service and staff recommends among the many beverage choices. Come check this place out.

Open 363 days, it balances bustling market energy with sweeping Sierra foothill views. It is lively, aromatic and perpetually buzzing. The moment you pull off Carson Road, the scent of warm cinnamon, rich stone fruit, and crisp mountain air hits you. The sprawling property features an open-air farm market, a massive bakery, outdoor picnic areas overlooked the orchard valleys,and a dedicated cider fridge. O'Henry Peaches: The absolute star of the late-summer harvest. These are widely the best tasting peaches on the mountain--boasting a rich, sweet-to-tart depth and incredible juiciness that makes eating them over the sink an absolute requirement. Apple Glazed Donuts: Coating in a sweet, crackly glaze gives a nice fruit flavor, but the donut itself sits a tad too dense and heavy, lacking the light, pillowy crumb you hope for in a freshly fried fruit. Apple Strudel: A bit of a miss in the bakery case. The apples inside turn mealy and overly soft -- a clear sign of using the wrong apple variety for baking -- and the heavy powdered sugar glaze on top leans too sweet for my palate. Apple Cider/Apple Juice: Easily popular, the cider and juice are light and refreshing but leans heavily on the sugary side. It comes across as overly sweet and lacks that bold, tart bite or spiced punch you might expect from a raw mountain press. Bakery Classics: Pies and pastries remain solid, comforting staples that feel homemade and generous. Whether you are loading up a bag of peak-season O'Henry peaches in August or sipping craft hard cider or plain apple cider by the pond, Boa Vista delivers quintessential countryside escape.

My 11 year old daughter and I came to the Ferry Building for a fun Mom and daughter morning. We hit the Rainbow Orchards stand first, for what was my first and sure to be last visit. We waited to the side while a customer who was there before us was helped, chatting about how much to get. That customer left, and he took the elderly guy who came after us first - no big deal. Then it was our turn and I asked him for 5 dollars worth and handed him a 20. I had 4 singles and a 20, and the choices were either 5 dollars worth, 8 dollars worth, or another amount I can't recall. He told my shy daughter snakily "Don't grow up to be a person who comes to the Farmer's Market and doesn't have exact change." It felt out of line for him to address her in that way. And, he's already complained about me not having exact change. Hey, either sell us the blueberries or don't, but were not here to be a sponge for your anger. So, I observed flatly, well, we don't have to buy anything. And he said, "yes, you do, because I already have your money." Okay, so another aggressive and weird response. I reached out to get the bag of blueberries, since evidently he was giving me no choice other than to buy them, and he backed up so they would be out of my reach. It was like the 4th rude thing he did that was unprovoked. I managed to get the bag and walk away, but he did ruin a chunk of our sweet trip to the Farmer's Market. I wonder how many shoppers had to deal with absorbing his hostility that day.
