On a bike ride I stopped to see what this great spot was. Mo and I ended up chatting for a bit. She told me about her beer, wine selection plus the bring your own food options. I came back later with a friend to try a few selections and had a great time. It feels like you have been invited into someone's home. read more

We love Mo's by the river. Casual environment but very cute. They do have shade but sometimes in the afternoon the sun can be burning; I personally love the heat, but would recommend sunnies, hat and hand sunscreen. You can bring outside food to pair with the great wine selection. Mo is amazing and gives great wine recommendations. 10/10 can't recommend enough. read more

What a lovely little unexpected spot to find. We went after dinner and post UNR move in. Just us parental adults. As per the usual in the evening, it was quite windy, but the patio was still a wonderful place to be. We met the owner and were able to wring some special recommendations around Reno from her. She is so welcoming and lovely. Really adored talking to her. The wine here is fabulous. We drank both the Prosecco and the Italian White. Both were delicious. I love that they serve sustainable and organic wines when possible. The selection is really good. Hubs had beer, which was also a nice selection and he was pleased. The patio is pretty and welcoming. And we were able to snag a table at seven on a Saturday. Be aware, they close pretty early unless your chatterbox like us and just don't stop talking to the owner. read more

We absolutely love Mom's By the River! Mo is the heart and soul of this gem--she's incredibly sweet, helpful, and truly passionate about wine. Every visit feels personal. She takes the time to go into great detail when selecting wines to share, explaining flavor profiles and offering thoughtful suggestions that always hit the mark. The seasonal summer opening makes it feel like a special treat every time we get to go. Last night we sat out on the patio, enjoying the warm evening air and sipping on a perfect glass of wine--it was the ideal date night for any wine lover. If you're in Reno during the summer, Mom's By the River is a must. Great wine, amazing atmosphere, and Mo makes it all unforgettable. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while and didn't realize how many times I've driven by this area without seeing it! The winery itself is in a small house on the corner with the garage being converted into the bar area. There are a few barstools inside but most of the seating is outside on their cute patio! Despite a small indoor space, they still have a bathroom which I was glad to see. The location is about a block away from the river, so there's no river view but it's in a great location to stop when you're doing a stroll along the river. They allow you to bring food over to enjoy on their patio with a glass of wine. Their wine menu had several different types of wine to try, I wanted a Sauv Blanc and described what kind I usually like. They suggested two different types and I chose one from Spain. It was refreshing and I enjoyed it! My husband got a Chianti from Italy and he wasn't a fan, he usually loves Chiantis but said this one tasted more sour than usual. However, we both still really enjoyed hanging out here on the patio! Prices were pretty standard. The staff was friendly and easy to talk with. We had a baby with us and they allowed us to bring her in as well. Now that I know this place is here, I'll definitely come back when we are doing the riverwalk sometime soon! They also have some fun events they host, so I'd love to come back for one of those eventually! read more

Definitely qualifies as a hidden gem! It is located in a lovely old residential neighborhood near McKinley Center and the small commercial area that is the home to Hub Coffee, Dorinda's and Beaujolais. Mo and Glen are the owners and welcome you to their lovely patio - there is no indoor seating except for the teeny bar. They have an extensive wine list and are knowledgable about what they serve. Explain what you like - they will make a match to your preferences. Order by the glass or buy a bottle. They also sell wine for takeout by the bottle or you can order multiple bottles or a case. It is casual and laid-back. The perfect spot to meet up with friends and have a glass or two of good wine in a beautiful location. There is street parking in the neighborhood. They are also a block away from the large lot at McKinley Center. read more

I don't believe it. I thought I wrote my review for Mo's By the River. Today, I learned that I didn't. In any case, Mo's is a cute wine bar located in the middle of surburban Reno close to the Truckee River Walk. I was unable to check out their wine list but what we had (a couple glass of domestic red) was actually pretty good and priced right. Just admiring their set up, I made up my mind if the opportunity presents itself, I will hold an event at Mo's the next time I'm in the Reno area Thank You Mo's for a casual fun time... And we were in walking distance to our Air BnB and the Truckee River Walk..... so it only made sense to stop in at Mo's for a thirst quencher. read more

Love their wine club and events. They will open Memorial Day weekend. You can order food in and all seating is outside by fire lamps or fire pit. They've even got a few blankets. This is my fave wine spot most every weekend. Don't tell too many because its a gem you'll want to share with close friends and will end up spending hours there. read more

Five stars just doesn't seem like enough for Mo's By The River. The location, the owner, the decor, the WINE?!? All fabulous! A friend of mine and I were looking for a new spot to try and Yelp pointed us to Mo's. We had a lot of catching up to do, so we arrived right when they opened and got our pick of tables. We knew we'd be splitting a bottle and Mo herself offered up the perfect Sauvignon Blanc. It was a perfect summer wine and no sulphates! You can tell just how loved this place is. So many regulars showed up and would say hello like you were a dear friend. We spent over 2 hours here just chatting with others and sipping our wine. I love everything about this spot and will be back very soon! read more

A friend had suggested this place for a weekday get together. I have come down to the area for the Yelp Dorinda event but maybe this was not there back then. This place is like a garden oasis where if you have a good book and a drink you will be all set! It's very serene and they have decorated it like a secret garden. The owners shared that they live onsite and added on the bar to it, it was actually really cool. There was a bunch of red and white wines, as well as beer. I had asked if there was anything sweeter and was suggested a Elderberry Spritzer which tasted like Summer in a can. This place was great to soak up the sun, relax, and just visit. Definitely recommend, as they let you bring outside food or delivery in which was great! read more

Wandering the lovely Riverside neighborhood, we came upon Mo's By the River. A delightful family-owned and operated wine bar. My husband and I enjoy wines from all over the world, and were thrilled to see some of our favorite varieties at Mo's. We rarely see vinho verde from Portugal... and we were certainly able to enjoy it sitting outside on a mild, overcast Spring day. The best prices by glass in town, for wines you'll want to visit again and again! Thank you, Mo and Glen. read more

A lovely, welcoming, and relaxed place to hang out, Mo's feels like you're stopping in at your neighbors' house for wine, only you contribute to the wine as a collective. The owners are warm and seem genuinely happy to have you there, and the wine is high quality and chosen carefully. When we weren't sure which bottle to buy, we were presented with five different bottles and specifics about each one. After that, we sat out on the patio while Olive the dog and a sweet cat wandered through. I can't think of a better way to spend my Sunday afternoon, and I'll be a regular customer. read more

I came, I saw, I immediately joined the wine club. Mo and her husband Glen are the owners and the quaint little patio and wine bar is attached directly to their house. The rumor is that this place started as a way for them to just entertain some of their friends with wine events and now it has blossomed into something truly special. They're open for select hours Wednesday through Sunday (when they're not hosting private events) and also put on special events that go out to their wine club members before the general public. Their opetions are super unique and for the most part can't be found at other spots in Reno and they do a great job of matching wines to your tastes (and meals that you may have brought with you). Speaking of meals, they don't serve any food, however, they have partnerships with some local spots for discounted deliveries and also allow for anyone to bring in their own food. It makes for a great date night and provides lots of opportunities to make new friends if you're into that sort of thing throughout the evening. read more

The long tables lined with bottles feel almost like a curated gallery, and the garage-style doors let in natural light that makes the whole place feel alive without being loud or overwhelming. What really stands out is how intentional everything feels, especially the wine list. It is handwritten on a large chalkboard, which gives it a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, but the selection is thoughtful and globally inspired. You will find a mix of Old World staples and boutique producers alongside well-chosen California options. The list includes everything from crisp Picpoul and Bordeaux Blanc blends to approachable Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with more unique offerings like Loire Valley blends and Spanish varietals that show they are not just playing it safe. The pricing is another highlight. Most glasses land in the $9 to $15 range, which feels more than fair for the quality. They even offer a carafe option, about two and a half glasses, which is perfect for sharing and encourages you to settle in and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a wine bar. It is relaxed, conversational, and effortlessly refined. It is the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply unwind and end up staying longer than you planned. What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Kate. She went above and beyond in every way. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the wines, and genuinely warm in her approach. She made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and created an experience that felt personal rather than transactional. It is clear she cares about what she does, and it made a great environment feel even better. Black Rock Wine Co is not trying too hard, and that is exactly why it works. It is curated, welcoming, and just the right level of elevated. We will absolutely be back.

Brunch is all day on Sundays however they do have a lunch menu starting at 12pm, so we ordered from each menu. The ahi nachos were great, thick pieces of tuna and a great sauce drizzled over. The Mushroom Lover's Omelette was fluffy and had a LOT of gruyere. The potatoes it came with were herbaceous and very well fried. While we didn't try the chocolate, their cocktails were cute and the DJ wasn't annoyingly loud. Someone celebrated their birthday here, which is the overall vibe of this place

Great atmosphere, fantastic artisan food, and very reasonable prices given the portion sizes and quality! The only thing that would make it better is if it was right on the river instead of a block away but prices would probably be higher if that were the case. Everything we had at brunch was fantastic. I don't think you can miss here on the menu. The duck pizza was fantastic but I wouldn't characterize the amount of cheese and toppings as 'generous' but it tasted like the ingredients were really high quality. Outside the pizza, the other items were very generous portions for the price. My only concern was where was everyone on a Sunday early afternoon? The place was like 20% full. The brunch menu is fantastic and there's even all you can drink mimosas and bloody mary's for $25! If people don't get out of their suburbs once in a while and patronize places like this then Downtown Reno isn't going to get more of these great places! Happy Hour Menu looked good to for trying lots of small bites.

Unfortunately, we were stuck back in the rear corner of the building on this visit. The vibes back there are not nearly as nice as the up-front dining. Service was still good even though we were out of view of the main dining area. We started with the cauliflower appetizer. Very well cooked, perfectly tender, and the Calabrian chili oil was perfect for adding some spice. We then ordered entrees, which included the duck duo and a Caesar salad. The Caesar is nothing to write home about. It's fresh and from scratch, but it's just a Caesar. The duck duo came with both duck confit and duck breast. The duck confit was unreal. So tender and so flavorful. The duck breast was a bit tough for my liking, but I really enjoyed the sauce they used on the dish. Most of all, I was shocked by how good the dessert was. We ordered the cast-iron chocolate cake, and it was unbelievable. The sauce that bubbles away in the hot cast iron was spooned onto the rich cake and topped with vanilla ice cream. Nothing better! I miss the old Liberty that used to offer daily specials and killer deals on pasta and pizza, but the new Liberty ain't so bad. It might be a bit more pricey, but still a reasonable option for a nice dinner out in Reno.

There are misters throughout the seating which helps maintain a very comfortable ambiance even at the hottest time of the day. The bartender is very welcoming and is skilled at her craft. I loved the Akira which was a gin drink with infused strawberry slices, rhubarb syrup, and yuzu. Even on a Friday evening, she made time to chat as she made my cocktail. It felt very comfortable and almost as I was hanging out in my own backyard. I will be back several times this summer! I'm curious to see what becomes of the patio hang during the winter months.
