    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.

    Was a fun new place to try. Tried some new beers and ciders. Will need to bring my husband here. @yelpreno

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

    $15 flight

    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
    Tara T.

    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.

The rest of our mommy's had tequila and other hard liquors. The food options at the outdoor parking lot were delicious. It did take some time. This parking lot is horribe. I recommend ride share or getting dropped off here so you don't have to leave your car downtown on the streets. This part of 4th street isn't the best area. Shout out to the hubbs for shuttling me. We'll have to come back and have beer on the other side. I love their peanut butter stout and usually have a chilled pack in my fridge in the Summer.

This also helps me support more businesses! But I am open minded with your new food menu, and look forward to a more expansive future menu than just pizza. Took my buddy here today; a long awaited field trip for him. Thanks for always coming up with new flavors of beers, keeps me coming back and trying more and more and more. So many varieties are for sale, and the more you buy, the more you save. See pictures. Superbowl sale, etc. We sat at a table in the back and when bar seating became available, we moved up front for faster service and more beer, lol. Today we got the following: Reno as F - I always seem to get this, maybe just because it has the name Reno in it, lol. My usual everyday red. My buddy got the following - Tahoe Haze and Emerald Bay IPA; he enjoyed them both. Oh, they also have wine, but who comes to a brewery for wine?!?! See picture. Ambiance - Not many or any changes. Huge warehouse production location. Small "tap room" lounge area. Then the huge warehouse space, "play space" - See pictures of all the games available for us. Two bars, see pictures. Plenty of seating, lounge, table, counter, bar, etc. Free wifi, but I did not use it. Tap room hours from noon or 1pm to 8pm, 9pm, or 10pm. See my picture or Yelp. Decent size parking lot, but the best spaces seem to always be full. Got lucky today, but on all the other visits, I have had to park in the back. BTW, do NOT park in the neighboring lots as you will get towed, see my picture. Service - Counter service, but good and professional. She offered me to try the new flavors, but as a creature of habit, I seem to always go back to my usual beers. Self service water station. Happy hour available, but only from 1-4pm and I am trying to NOT drink so early. Price - $7 to $8 a beer. Expensive, but that is the cost for quality! Owner Comment - Revision, congrats on all your success since 2017. I have been a loyal customer! I even buy your beer from Costco, lol.

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."

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.

All in all, there was so much in it that it was difficult to evaluate what I was eating, which is a good thing. It means I'll have it again :). It functioned as a whole rather than as separated ingredients to give a complex flavor profile, which I appreciated. The fries were seasoned beautifully. Very savory. I enjoyed them. Cooked wonderfully as well. The tortilla chips in the nachos.. I don't know if they were made there or not, but they gave the impression of being store-bought. The quality was not great. The nachos themselves... plenty of ingredients that you can mix together, but the ingredients weren't like a complete package. They were like a pile of separate things. I expect a well-balanced mixture of ingredients. The layer of queso was below while the avocado was clumped up at the top. The ingredients separately were quite bland. I wouldn't have this again. The brownie was better than a flourless chocolate torte and quite large. I enjoyed it, though I would say that it's not as good as a more standard brownie. I wouldn't have this again.
