Last review in 2017 and The Eddy is still kickin as so am I. After a few trips and several brewskies, it's time for an update. A hit with the younger, lively, college crowd. Lots of backyard BBQ games, food trucks, and beverage trucks. Great place to go on a warm summer night. Especially during our July Artown series. Makes for a night of fun and frolick. Making new friends and visiting with old ones! read more

After observing this fun spot by the Truckee River for several years, I finally ventured in one afternoon during a record July heat wave. The misters were working and everyone seemed well-behaved and having fun, eating, drinking, playing bocce ball, and corn hole. I sat in the shade and enjoyed a cocktail and a brick oven-baked pizza. Both really hit the spot. This is a great place to spend a warm summer evening provided it's not too crowded and the other patrons are behaving decently. read more

Great outdoor spot for the summer. Lots of drinks to choose from and they have a pizza joint that has gluten free option. Also, they have a bunch of outdoor games to chose from! Service is always good. Great spot to bring your baby or fur baby during the day! They don't let kids in after 6pm! So be aware of that. Overall, great spot! read more

The eddy is a nice spot if your looking for nice music and good vibes. The food truck option is taco and pizza and u highly recommend the tacos so good! Staff is friendly and likes to joke with you while ordering.. i enjoy coming here to start the night read more

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon, there was a couple of handfuls of people there which worked out to our advantage. Ended up meeting the manager (owner?), super chill and friendly guy. Sat down at the bar, ordered our drinks, had some good conversation with the bar tenders. All around good vibes. The only reason for one less star is because there was only one food option. Fresh pizza in the back. It was okay, super burnt on the bottom but had a few drinks in me and needed something to snack on. Also got a shirt to commemorate the weekend spent in Reno, we'll be back to talk dogs and Pokémon with the staff! read more

Came here for a snack and a beer on a sunny spring afternoon. It's a comfy place with picnic tables, sky chairs, cornhole, bocce, a decent happy hour and nice atmosphere. Sunshades might be a njce addition, but we liked the patio atmosphere. They have Mexican food and pizza food trucks and two bars in containers. We got margherita pizza, which was fresh and tasty and hit the spot. The service was quick and friendly. I will come back next time I'm in R read more

The Eddy in Reno, Nevada A happening container beer garden along the Truckee River in downtown Reno. I visit the Eddy every trip to Reno when the weather allows (they close starting at Thanksgiving for four months). They have a large, rotating menu of beers and ciders, as well as a full bar. While pizza is available daily, they also have various food trucks that visit monthly. While the service can sometimes be aloof and the locals stare at me funny as a woman out for a bevvy alone, it's a fun vibe and great for people watching. Family friendly, group friendly, dog friendly, and chock full of various seating areas, lawn games and music. Another local spot - it's sister property is The Block in Petaluma, CA. read more

I love this place. Fun hangout with games like bocce ball, corn hole, Jenga, etc. Great place to be on a nice day or warm night. Right on the Truckee River. read more

What a fun place! Loved the atmosphere with 3 bar areas plus a pizza spot. I wish there was another food option, but overall it was great. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful. Lots of seating areas both booths, hightop tables, picnic tables, etc. there's big jenga games, cornhole, and bocce ball game areas. The bathrooms are around the backside and were clean when I went in. It was very open and the weather was nice which helped. I'm sure on really sunny days more shade would be helpful but surprisingly there was more umbrellas and large shades than I expected. read more

Fun outdoor bar I love to swing by whenever in town! They have a lot of game options you can play with while hanging out with friends! Always nicer to come here during the warmer months, especially a summer night! read more

What's not to love about a nice outdoor space with good ambiance now that it's getting warmer out? The weekend wait is typically pretty long, but that also shows that they make sure to enforce social distancing and not overfill. There are always good trucks and multiple bars with drink options for everyone. I love how every table has different seating. It feels like coming here everyone is just in a good mood. Perk: you can bring your dogs (and see everyone else's dogs). The staff is always friendly and accommodating. No complaints, I'm sure I'll be spending a few weekend afternoons with friends here this spring! read more

One of my favorite bars here in Reno! The environment is great for large groups, it feels safe, and the staff are incredibly kind too. I always recommend getting here around 5:30ish before it gets too busy and it's right when they switch to 21+ only. The pizza here is fantastic if you're a fan of brick oven pizza! They always have a revolving special, but my personal favorite is the BBQ Chicken. They have food trucks too and being there for the La Barca food truck is even better! They always have a lot of cool events almost weekly, so it's always cool to check them out! Such as bingo, silent discos, Humane Society adoptions, alcohol release parties, etc. read more

The Eddy male bouncer denied our access after letting 2 of our 15 person group in to the bar because the bride of our bachelorette/bachelor group didn't know the address on her CA license (she moved and didn't get it updated). This bouncer then argued with the group and displayed very unprofessional behavior (yelling, argumentative). We definitely won't be giving The Eddy our business and they lost out on great business for this man's unprofessionalism. Hope they teach this bouncer to do his job by scanning licenses and letting paying customers in. read more

My husband and I planned to walk our dog along the Truckee River in town. It was a beautiful day so we decided to see if The Eddy was open for the season. Their Instagram story advertised Happy Hour is from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday - Friday, so we decided to walk straight on over! It was bustling with people enjoying drinks, playing games, and having a fun time. For Happy Hour, they offer $2 off draughts, wine and well drinks. We opted for a couple IPAs. It's nice to have dog friendly places like this here in Reno - especially now that spring has sprung! read more

The eddy is one of the best additions to Reno that I have experienced! The drinks are very reasonably priced, and the draft selection is wide. The bartenders always seem to be positive and nice, even when totally slammed. The atmosphere is awesome. It is very family friendly during the day, and very young towards the evening, you get the best of both worlds. The games and activities are super fun, and add a whole new dimension to a night out. In the summer, the weather is perfect to go out and enjoy a game of giant Jenga, or to relax in some hammock chairs. You can bring dogs which is one of the biggest pros for me. I love to bring my dog everywhere I can, and he is always welcomed at the eddy by both the bartenders and bouncers, as well as by all the other dogs! Restrooms have always been clean, as well as the rest of the establishment which is saying a lot when talking about a bar that gets as much business as the eddy. The only thing I would add would be more food options, but other than that, the eddy is so awesome! I have never had a bad experience. read more

Really cool, fun space to get outdoors and enjoy some food and cocktails. Plenty of shaded spots are offered and it's dog friendly. There's 3 bars (only one was open but they offered San Adams Oktoberfest on draft so I was happy!). Full Bar offered cocktails, beer and wine and looks like it has a seasonal fall cocktail menu. Only one food place was operating-Firetrail Pizza-which was fine with us as that is what we wanted! Fun, casual place to spend a Sunday afternoon. read more

The Eddy is a staple in downtown for a place to get drinks and hang out with friends! It has an inviting atmosphere that people walking along the riverwalk see and want to go experience. I have been here several times and it is a great place to bring friends who are in town visiting. People love the outdoor environment of being able to drink outside, the lawn games (bocce and cornhole), the shipping containers that house the bars and some seating, and the food trucks that are usually open for a meal while you drink. They are also dog friendly which is a big plus for us!! The only downside is that this place gets very busy on weekend nights. There is usually a wait at the door and once you get in, you can be stuck for a while waiting in lines at the bars. They do have multiple shipping container bars, but they all can have long lines on weekends because of how busy they get. The Eddy is an awesome place to come for drinks and to hang out, especially when the weather is nice. Just be mindful that you may have to wait a while if you come during a peak going out time on the weekends. read more

We were told no. We were a group of 8. There was a huge table. 6 on each side. But this table of 7 was able to sit. They are all Caucasians. And we are all Asians and Mexicans. This place is very racist!!! Never again! The Caucasian bouncer was a total dick. After I point out everything he remained quiet and didn't say one word. read more

This place is just what we needed along the River Walk. If you are hanging out down by the water, then you for sure should stop by and check this place out. Now well established in their location on the south bank, they really liven up the whole area, as whenever I have passed by on a summer's night there is always crowds of patrons having a great time. Walk right in, it's free to enter, and you are immediately in the center of a really nifty beer garden. A few neat art pieces for decorations, as well as games and activities ranging from giant Jenga and Connect Four, to the Bocce Ball courts, and even few small stalls for vendors and artists. And of course, you can just snag a chair or a table and hang out with your friends, which is always encouraged. Bike racks are provided inside the fenced area, too, for those riding around. Instead of having one large bar area, they have pretty smartly built three, count 'em, THREE bars, named Mountain, River, and Desert. But rather than be carbon copies, each bar will have several things on tap that the other two don't have. A neat bit of variety, and you can easily see what's available from their helpful menu screens. I have heard some people say they don't much care for this arrangement, but I like checking to see what each has available, and it helps spread out the lines, too. All the prices are pretty reasonable, especially for local craft brews on tap, and the service is usually pretty quick and on-point. Also, the one big addition they made from last summer is the addition of a more permanent food vendor tucked into the back corner of the lot. At first, it seemed the idea was to have food trucks rotate through, but now it seems this new setup, called Firetail Pizza, is pretty ensconced and looks to be there to stay. I recently tried one of their pies, a four cheese and white sauce pizza, and it was delicious! If the rest of the recipes are as good as this one, they will be doing great business for a long time to come. Definitely try them out if you're feeling hungry. As for downsides, there are a just a couple. Obviously the biggest one is that The Eddy is a victim of its own popularity. When I said there were always crowds here, I mean there are CROWDS. Seldom have I stopped by on an evening when it wasn't packed to the gills, with very few places to sit or even walk without bumping into people. The only times I have visited when it wasn't full up was the early afternoon when they first open. The place is pet friendly, but given the dense crowds, keep in mind all the risks and hazards that come with bringing your animals in here. Overall, though, The Eddy is a fun and happening place to stop by and hang for a bit. I am definitely glad they're here, and will certainly be stopping by again. read more

As we where walking on the river walk and found the Eddy. We sat and did some people watching. There 3 bars sit up in shipping containers. The misters where nice and helped cooling off the place. There is a wood fire pizza place and a spot for a food truck. Its was about 5 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't to crowded. Its a great concept for people to hang out with friends and it's dog friendly too. The bathrooms are also in containers they where clean when I went in. read more

Amazing location and vibe! We went there for an end of the year work party and the staff did not disappoint.

I will definitely be coming back and bringing friends! read more

[breaks into Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar"] I really do love this bar. Being located smack in the middle of downtown, it attracts a diverse crowd. I'm on the edge between young person and middle-aged person, and I love that it usually feels like both a frat party and a place that retirees on vacation stumbled upon while on the riverwalk. It's also kid- and pet-friendly. It is a fabulous location, and it's easy to find street parking if one drives two blocks past The Eddy and parks at a meter or the public lot. I'd never experienced a container park before coming here, and I love the concept: the three bars are in what look like semi-truck shipping containers, and each bar has its own draft beer, wine, and cocktail list. Two containers host booth seating. In the middle of the containers are bocce and cornhole courts, jumbo jenga and connect four, eclectic sculptures, and many long tables and high top tables. It was pretty toasty in the open air space this summer, but they quickly built shade structures and installed misters to keep the environment cool and refreshing. There seems to always be at least one food truck parked inside. The Calle Taco food truck is particularly awesome and has a large menu. The $4 side fries are delish! The Eddy is more than just a bar. It markets itself as a "beer garden and community space," and that's totally accurate. If I lived downtown, I would totally take advantage of their morning fitness classes. I like that they host volunteer fairs and promote local art in the container seating spaces. Pro tips: sometimes the lines at the bar can get long, so it helps to have cash on hand to speed up the transaction. It's also not clear to me whether one is supposed to queue in front of the register or whether it's okay to communicate one's drink order even if one isn't sitting at the bar proper. If you have a not-complicated drink order and are paying with exact cash, I think it's appropriate to skip the line. read more
