I walk in with intent, sit at the bar, order my drink...right after I took my first sip, I looked up and saw the "Cash Only" neon sign and realized I didn't have any on me. The waitress (I wish I had caught her name) was incredibly kind. I explained the situation and told her I'd go grab cash, and she was totally understanding. I came back and made sure to tip her well, she deserved it. I asked if they served food, and while they don't, she went out of her way to recommend a Korean spot next door and Red Dog Saloon for pizza. She even said it was perfectly fine to bring food back. So I did exactly that, grabbed some Korean chicken, brought it back, and paired it with a hot apple cider cocktail. Perfect night. Great drinks, delicious food, good music, and genuinely friendly people.

When did I get so many friends, lol. JK. Anyway, I wanted to show them a different area and atmosphere than Reno. We walked around town, visited Fourth Ward School Museum and ended our day here. This was the most happening place in town with a live band, people dressed up in Western gear, etc. Good local beer and free popcorn to make us drink more beer, lol. Ambiance - Decent size location, but it was crazy busy when we got here. First, we sat at the bar, then when a table became available, our guests wanted to move. Sat in the very back center which was perfect for me. Service - 5 stars, both the bartender and waitresses were friendly and welcoming. But the band was a hit!!! Not only were they good, but the lead singer was giving line dance lessons, lol. But they were welcoming. FROM the stage, they were able to ask if we had any requests. Thanked us again from the stage as we left, etc. The band was 6 stars! I'm pretty sure they thought we were NOT locals, lol. Price - $26 + generous tip. Tourist prices, but our guest is worth it! Generous tip to the band. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

I think the last time I was in this saloon was about 40 years ago. I remember taking a field trip…read morein elementary school in the mid 80's to tour VC. I remember taking the mine tour and being amazed that it is a part of our local history. I met some friends on a chilly Friday evening for drinks and karaoke. There was quite the crowd already at 8pm and I could tell it was a popular local watering hole. All the patrons were singing along with each karaoke guest and having a great time. The bartender was a very nice guy that was doing a great job keeping up with everyone despite being the only one behind the bar that night. We made sure to tip him well. He was slinging fresh cocktails, fresh draft pours, and some ready to drink cocktails. A couple of us put our names and song choices in for karaoke, the DJ had pretty much everything available to him. The songs ranged from classic rock, classic country, modern rock, modern country, 80's chart toppers, and some obscure songs that a number of locals got pumped up to hear! I got up to belt out my raspy rendition of The Promise, it was fun to get to 'perform' in front of a crowd again. A couple others in my group sang their hearts out as well. We will be back soon!

His faithful and cute sidekick Winston, possibly an English pointer, is a doll. The snowy weather seem to be keeping most people away. So we has the bar, Junior and Winston to ourselves. Enjoy some fabulous hot cocktails, beer that was filled from the bottom of the glass, and some interesting chocolate whiskey. We were even able to bring out to go in from the Mexican restaurant next door. The rest of the weekend we popped in and out trying a few more beers and cocktails. Finishing with Bloody Mary's Sunday morning before leaving town. Limited bar seating to 6, several tables towards the back, and a fantastic 100 mile view out the back window.

On Saturdays lots of people dress in outfits from the 1800s and walk the streets of Virginia City. These history buffs love to enjoy libations, as if they were stepping back in time. There is only street parking available. The bathrooms are clean. The drinks are affordable and the ambiance is seriously like stepping into a time machine. I highly recommend stopping in for a drink, if you visit Virginia City.

We booked two nights at the Gold Hill Hotel's Bullion Lodge and were very disappointed to find that…read moretheir fridge sounded like a jackhammer. You could hear it from outside! We asked for a refund and the person we spoke to said we would be refunded the next day and that the owner would call, so we drove all the way back down the mountain and went home. The next day we called and they said the fridge making noise was not a good enough reason for a refund. It was so loud and we were told we were getting refunded. We asked why the cleaning staff didn't let them know that there was an issue, and she said the housekeeper hadn't been there for a week. Shouldn't they check the place before renting it out if it's been locked up in the winter for a whole week? If we knew we weren't going to get a refund, we would have tried something else but I think we were told this to get us to leave. So disappointing and sad. We were very respectful and told them immediately that there was a problem. Listen to this video! You can barely hear us talk. It was impossible to stay there.

We came here to Celebrate Thanksgiving and unfortunately did not get the celebration we expected…read more We were excited when Gold Hill called us a few days prior to tell us that they had a cancellation and they had a table for us. When we arrived for our reservation, we noticed that the parking lot was almost completely empty. The empty parking lot matched the buffet when we walked inside. Unfortunately, the staff said that was the last of the food and they were not putting any more out. What they did have left, was warm at best and was mediocre flavor. The so-called sweet potato casserole was an abomination to put it nicely. I lived in Alabama for five years, and my husband was born and raised in Alabama. Neither one of us could swallow one bite. They tasted like they were made with chunky peanut butter. The staff was the best part of the evening. They were bubbly and friendly. We will definitely give Gold Hill another shot but we will definitely pass on any of the buffet style dinners in the future.

Overall, I have mixed feelings of this place. Food was delicious once we finally received it. It…read moretook around 45 minutes to an hour after we arrived to get our food. The service was great and the remodeling of the restaurant into the steakhouse turned out really nice. They do table side salads, entrees and desserts. We chose to order a standard meal.

We went as a group of 20 for their prix fix New Years Eve dinner. The food was good but not great…read more The amuse bouche was very good. The 1st course was a choice of the foie gras (good but had an inordinate amount of fig jam on top) or escargot (very good). The second course was French onion soup or Niçoise salad. Both were very good. The third course was a choice of poached sole with hollandaise (the hollandaise was extremely spicy and way over powered the delicate sole. The sole was cooked until it was mushy) or roasted chicken in brown sauce (some were very good and others were dry and overcooked). The fourth course was roasted marrow bones with golden raisins and brie with lingonberry. Good but very rich. The fifth course was beef bourguinon that was excellent. For dessert we had crepe Suzette's that were okay but very sweet and paired with an extremely sweet ice wine. Too much sweet on sweet. Some hot bread and butter, others didn't. Same with water, some glasses were empty and never filled. Overall it was way too much food for me. It said $150 all inclusive so we assumed that meant tax and tip was included. We were wrong. When we got the bill they added tax and 20% gratuity. Then on top of that they charged 3% for paying with a credit card. It ended up being a $400 dinner. That was more than we anticipated in Virginia City. Additionally, apparently they ran out of one of the wines and some people were offered a different one and then got charged $20/glass for it. All in all, it was fun (more because of the company than the experience), the food was mostly good and the atmosphere was nice and service was okay. I felt bad for other couples trying to have a romantic NYE dinner and having to sit next to a group of 20. We'll choose a different location next year.
