Stayed in Ely to break up a long drive from Craters of the Moon to Vegas. Aside from one local…read moresitting at the bar, we were the only 4 patrons on a Thursday night. Hubby likes checking out dive bars and this fit the bill. No food. Bartender didn't understand the question "What's your well whiskey or bourbon?" Blank stare. Finally asked if they had any whiskey and she pulled a bottle from the shelf. Not familiar with the brand. Wine from boxes only. Stick with beer. We would not be denied a decent time so put some credits in the music machine and played a couple games of pool. If you go with low expectations you won't be disappointed.

Club Rio is a different world altogether. https://s.yelp.com/1Jlrd6nPGa . You'd think you were…read moretransported back in time or to an alternate universe.... It's Old School club, social meeting place, karaoke bar, dance club, etc. it's SO many more things all wrapped up into one "hell of a time ". The bartenders there are "Top Notch" & can do it all: Pro mixologists, unofficial counselors, local real-time information source, super friendly, and plain down to earth party directors. Gotta give major props to Krissie the bartender who I recently met there. She is hands down the "the Total Package" and a real life "Unicorn" (see Crazy Hot Matrix). Not only a great bartender but smart, friendly, sweet, has a great attitude & personality, and works very hard to see that you have the best time ever. Oh, and by the way, she's also "drop dead" gorgeous! Definitely my favorite club in Ely, NV (pronounced: EELEE) and home of the famous "Silver State Classic Challenge" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/. Where they actually close down a 90 mile (140km) stretch of State Route 318 for a authorized time-trial "Cannonball Run " - style race that attracts racers from all over the world! So if you're ever cruising Hwy 50 in east central Nevada https://travelnevada.com/road-trips/loneliest-road-in-america/, Ely, NV & Club Rio are a definite destination you have to experience. P.S. Make sure to say "Hi" to Krissie!

What a great time. This place doesn't have a big selection of IPAs but it did have Sierra Nevada…read more What was great was everything else. The bartender was a really interesting guy, with big plans for the place. The locals were all sweet and bought rounds twice, so I threw in too. Fun times. Navajo guy was telling us about the mines. Montana cowboy was going on about alcohol laws across the country. Sweet Virginia by the Stones was playing on the jukebox. Highly recommended, don't bring the kids.

I went on a Saturday night and it was deadzo, but the guy working the bar, Dirk, was super…read morefriendly. We had the shuffleboard table all to ourselves which was really fun. If you're a shuffleboard nut like me you might find cringe at the table. It takes some getting used to but it's fine for a casual game. The bar is old so they have some neat pictures on the wall from 1950 of patrons enjoying themselves at the Liberty Club. There's a Touch Tunes machine but I didn't use it because I didn't think they'd want to hear my ska music. I'm only giving it three stars just because I didn't fully experience it. If I went back a few more times maybe my rating would go up. Or maybe it would go down. It's risky that way.

Seated quickly. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana dinner with Salad…read more The atmosphere is open and inviting. The Salad was delicious and received quickly. The main dish was taking quite a while (at the 45 minute) mark I asked the waitress "if I ordered the wrong item?" The server went to the kitchen that reported they thought they were sold out but find one more chicken breast. It was worth the wait! Fantastic and huge. One of the best versions of that dish I've had in years. No consideration from management for the wait... I wanted to give a 5th star...

All in all. Pretty good…read more Salad was basic iceberg and some tomatoes, nothing special. The main dish was very good ( sausage penne pasta) Service was good. Nothing jumped out but was all good. The place itself is pretty nice with an eclectic decor. Prices seemed a bit high but again, all in all, for Ely it was pretty good. If we are through Ely again I'd stop and grab something
