The Jesse is my favorite place in town! The food is amazing, and we tried almost all of the tapas, and every single one is delicious. Everything tastes fresh! It's honestly hard to choose a favorite because they are all so good. And you definitely need to try the basil cocktail, "Aegean Garden" - it is incredibly delicious and one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time! A wonderful place for great food, drinks, and atmosphere, I will definitely be back! read more

The Jesse - Hotels Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The Jesse is a charming hotel and restaurant in downtown Reno. Great food and craft drinks. The outdoor seating is private and so comfortable. I highly recommend! read more

Visiting family and they brought us here for Salsa Lessons. Absolutely fun. Great space in and out. Extremely clean. Awesome cocktails and staff. Excellent selection of spirits and creativity put in. A bit slow on the service but enjoyed the wait talking with everyone. Food was brought out temperature appropriate and was flavorful. Fries a guilty pleasure for me that I don't often indulge in was well with the order. Only comment during salsa lessons we were always changing partners. I get why for the social aspect but my party wanted to stay partnered up so we could Practice wirh each other. Suggestion is during the lesson have a section that are willing to switch partners in a section that want to remain with their partner. This place is a definite try and we will be back when visiting Reno in the future. read more

Cute little coffee shop that served old world coffee beans. Love that I have another option to walk over from silver legacy where I usually stay. . I like coming here for the old world coffee expresso and I do like ordering a ice Americano and it is a really great solid espresso drink. It is under $6 around $5.41. It is served all day so I like how there is another option where I can grab a good espresso coffee other than Starbucks while staying near the casino. . The Ambiance here is really nice and I do love the inside where there is plenty of seedings and is very cozy and warm. They have a really nice outdoor patio where it is very relaxing with lots of comfy couches and high tables as well. You can dine outside or Dine inside. I like using the patio during the late afternoons and before Sunset as well to come here in the morning and having a morning coffee with a really nice outdoor patio vibe. The service here is great and they are always friendly and ready to serve you some good coffee. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day. read more

This review is for people staying at the hotel. Good- The Jesse is really charming. It's an old building that has a gated outdoor seating area and a restaurant/bar downstairs. The room was clean, thoughtfully decorated and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Now the not so good-This boutique hotel does not have overnight staff. At 9:30 guests are unable to access the indoor hotel area or outdoor, fenced space. It is noisy bc it's located beside a bus station. Many transient peps. If you need to go out and about at night...you may want to reconsider or have a plan for safety. Overall I enjoyed my stay. Bartenders were fabulous! read more

New owners is always a bittersweet time. But this one feels extra sweet because they are awesome. The coffee has been fantastic and I cannot wait to try the cocktails one of these nights soon. The interior is beautiful and a great spot to get some work done. read more

I love the Jesse, the patio is so spacious and is a great spot to soak up some sun with some friends. I also love coming to the Jesse for salsa nights and hope they continue to do those! I actually really like the updated menu to Mediterranean as I always found the tacos to be too expensive. The feta fries are a must really crispy and the zaatar seasoning is great. We got the beef kebab platter the pitas were yummy, tangy red onion, the beef was a little tough though too chewy but the veggies were amazing and everything looked great on the platter altogether. My passionfruit margarita was delicious and well balanced. The drinks still hit and I'm excited about the mediterranean/middle eastern flair. If only they had khachapuri on the menu then my day would really be made! read more

I was invited to a birthday party here they do catering. And set up a nice room we had hamburgers, chicken nuggets and really good french fries. it was very very well done the bar as well. Attended the people that work. There are very good and what they do. The patio is perfect for a nice non-windy day so I will go back there to try their breakfast menu and they have really good coffee. read more

Dinner on a Friday night did not disappoint. We were surprised to see lots of open seating. We enjoyed dolmas, Chicken sis Kebab and a Mediterranean Pizza along with a glass of wine. The service was friendly, prompt and attentive. Mediterranean menu. The bar area is visually pleasing. Piped music was at the right decibel and provided a good vibe. There is an outdoor patio with plenty of seating that would be enjoyable during nice weather. There is limited parking in their lot and street parking and bowling stadium parking is near. Happy we gave it a try. read more

The Jesse is a boutique hotel and bar (with Mediterranean bites), just three blocks off of the main drag (Virginia Street) in downtown Reno. I visited the bar and beautiful outdoor patio (not the hotel) in late August, with the one-and-only Michael T. I believe that the concept was previously Mexican (named Estella), and the rebrand to Mediterranean is new. We visited on a surprisingly quiet, spectacularly beautiful summer Tuesday night. We enjoyed cocktails and a sampling of their newer Mediterranean menu (hummus, falafel, salad, and more!). The drink menu was inspired and the cocktails cooled us down on a warm evening. The bites were made with fresh and flavorful ingredients. We lounged outside on the pretty, enclosed patio. We were shocked that it wasn't busier. If you live in Reno, you should check them out. I'll defintely be back the next time I'm in town. And, helpful to know: they have a private parking lot adjacent to their building, so no need to battle downtown parking. Cheers! read more

The Jesse - Hades cocktail - Hotels Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We came to this place on a Sunday evening for my friend bday. I appreciated it being open on a Sunday evening, as many other places weren't. There were only one other couple there, but they had a dj going, which was interesting. He did a fine job, but it made it really loud to try and talk to my friend. Also, this place is modern and beautiful inside. We appreciated the private parking lot, as parking on the street seemed sketchy at best. I felt very entitled sitting lit up in the window eating and listening to music and watching so many homeless people walk by. It always tares up my heart. We were slightly confused becuase we had heard you could order tacos from this place, but that's the place next door that closed. This place only does Greek inspired food. Service was good. We asked for extra pita bread and tzatziki. Their pita bread is so superior to any other I've had. They FRY it. Yes FRY it! My friend is big on Greek food and chose this place. I'm just not big on Greek food in general. The yogurt chicken kabob was charred pretty good but had little flavor. The chick pea meatball things were hard on the outside. It was strange to me. They did give us coupons to come back to free coffee. And their outdoor area is adorable. We will be back just for that for sure. read more

DOUBLE BOOKED, HIDDEN FEES, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY We booked this venue months in advance for a baby shower, but the week of the event we found out the owner double booked the space, without even communicating this to the in-house planner. We were then asked to adjust our plans and start time to accommodate the owner's mistake. This alone was frustrating, especially given how far in advance we had reserved the space. At the start of the event when the weather turned, the owner moved us to an inside space temporarily. At no point was it mentioned that the temporary movement indoors would come with an additional $500 charge. This was not presented as an optional upgrade with a cost--it was framed as the solution to the situation we were already dealing with. We moved our entire group back outside to the original space out of consideration to free up the inside as soon as weather permitted. Ultimately, we felt backed into a corner, and then forced to pay hidden fees after the event. Lastly, because of the double booking, we didn't even have full access to the indoor space. Part of the venue was occupied by the other group, so we were limited to the bar area. Charging an additional fee for a space that wasn't even exclusively available felt unreasonable. The owner later claimed they had to turn away guests and absorb costs, but none of that was communicated in real time. Our group cleaned up both spaces, and no additional staff was needed to accommodate the event. None of the explanation given justifies charging customers after the fact for something they didn't knowingly agree to. Overall, the lack of transparency, the double booking, and the surprise charge completely overshadowed what should have been a special day. I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your event as it appears ownership only cares about making money. read more

Went here with the girls to enjoy the outdoor seating. It's big and very cute with couches and string lights. The passionfruit margarita was really tasty. Our server was nice and made sure we were comfortable and happy with our order. The food was perfect for sharing a few different things. We got the buffalo wings with we're pretty standard. The Za'atar fries were bomb! We also shared the SIS Kebap beef plate. The meat was cooked to perfection and really good. I want to come back and try the smash burger. That was our server's favorite dish. Great spot and the inside is gorgeous. read more

3/7/2025: The Jesse Hotel, Reno NV--Renault Double Queen Suite. 1. Downside: Historical Building doesn't have an elevator for ADA Guests; no hotel accommodations located on first floor/street level. 2. Restaurant Bar: Millenials' local hangout; bar is packed! 3. Cuisine: TAPAS--$8.00 to $12.00 for petite servings. A. Wait time: Fifteen minutes for First-Born Daughter receiving her three Tapas. B. Ten minutes later, I was wondering where is the steak and potatoes and when will it be served???? Never arrived . . . WTH~Male Waitstaff never annotated the steak and potatoes on the Restaurant Bill! C. First-Born Daughter had to hail another Male Waitstaff ordering the steak and potatoes, i.e., waited another ten minutes receiving the steak and potatoes: Egregiously disappointed not receiving the steak and potatoes tostada when First-Born Daughter received her three Tapas, the steak and potatoes' portion was shocking minuscule for a "tostada," and the steak and potatoes' presentation was obviously lacking--the steak and potatoes was plopped in the center on a black oval plate, less than a dollop of green chile verde salsa and two slivers of onion adjacent to the steak and potatoes! D. Chocolate Pie was served in a mini-flan ceramic dish; serving was just a miniscule as the steak and potatoes Tapas, I took a mini-spoonful, turned my nose up--ANNI MOGO, shoved the mini-flan ceramic dish to my First-Born Daughter who ate a couple of bites which she didn't finish: Strangely odd, the pie ingredients had chili mixed into the chocolate . . . Weird flavor which tasted rudely off-putting . . . AUGH~My lips were burning from eating the chocolate pie . . . WTH!!!! 4. Pear Cactus Margaritas: GET BOMBED FAST and slither underneath the table! Stay the night in the hotel upstairs, i.e., the inability driving is serious--DO NOT DRIVE! 5. Nice hotel accommodations; however, sirens woke me up several times during the night, i.e., I did not enjoy a peaceful sleep. 6. Jesse Hotel: Reminiscent to the Mount View Hotel, Calistoga CA sans swimming pool and spa. Building has ADA parking and a dozen parking spaces. 7. Coffee Bar ROCKS~Coffee Owner owns three coffee shops in Reno, Nevada. read more

My husband and I were our house shopping and decided to stop for the night. A quick Google search brought up the Jesse Hotel- it looked so cute and the bonus was the bar downstairs. We booked same day for a great price, had a smooth check in and found the place no problem. This place is SO cute, but old. You will hear the bar a little and some outside folks, but I would absolutely stay here again. So cute, comfy bed, convenient location- close enough but far enough away from down town. read more

The Jesse hosted a party 20 professionals visiting Reno, and provided great food, fare and fun. The chef and staff were perfect, and super accommodating and easy to coordinate. We didn't get to see a lot while we were in town but if you have time, this place is worth the visit. read more

Update - Appreciated Response from Management I wanted to provide an update following my original review. The next business day, a manager, Jess, contacted me directly by phone. She sincerely apologized for both the erroneous housekeeping report that resulted in the $50 charge and for the excessive noise level during our stay. She explained that the volume we experienced was not typical and that it is not customary for performers to play at that level. I appreciated the prompt response and the acknowledgment of both concerns. The situation with the charge was addressed (and the credit has since appeared on our credit card,) and it was reassuring to have direct communication and accountability from management. As a gesture of goodwill, The Jesse offered to host us for dinner on a future visit, which we found to be very thoughtful. We may take them up on that, as the restaurant was, in our opinion, exceptionally good and a highlight of our experience. In addition to the restaurant, the rooms themselves are well-appointed and comfortable. That said, I would still encourage prospective guests to inquire in advance about any scheduled live music if they are planning a quieter evening or an early night, as the setting may not be ideal for those sensitive to noise. Overall, we appreciated the professionalism demonstrated once management was made aware of the earlier handling, and Jess's exceptional effort to thoughtfully resolve our concerns. _________________________________________________________________ Disappointing Stay at The Jesse Hotel (Pending Resolution) I am hopeful that I will be able to update this review to reflect a prompt and reasonable response from management - specifically, the immediate refund of a $50 charge for an item we did not take, and some consideration regarding the room rate given the level of noise disruption that was not clearly communicated at the time of booking. We recently stayed at The Jesse Hotel and, unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations overall. To begin on a positive note, the restaurant was excellent. The meal was outstanding, and Ashley provided warm, attentive service that we genuinely appreciated. That was, however, the highlight of our stay. I was aware there might be live music at the bar (likely from another online review), but what we experienced went far beyond what would reasonably be expected. The noise level was extreme - the bass was so intense that the walls of our room were vibrating. A white noise machine was provided, which we initially assumed was for street noise, but it was no match for the volume coming from the bar below. While the music did eventually stop around 11:30 p.m., the level of disruption made it very difficult to relax or rest. More concerning was what happened after our stay. Two days later, I noticed a $50 charge on my credit card from The Jesse. We had not been provided a folio (I have searched my email several times.) When I called the hotel, I was told the charge was for a "missing lotion container" reported by housekeeping and the person offered to "send me a photo of the missing item," which I found puzzling. - a photo of something not there? This was surprising, as the only toiletries we saw were wall-mounted dispensers in the shower. He insisted that when we checked in, it was there and then housekeeping reported it was missing. We did not take any items, and yet the charge was applied without notification or an opportunity to address the claim. As far as the noise, the Jesse representative defaulted to the noise policy outlined in the Guest Arrangement. Admittedly, I did not READ the entire agreement because I was expecting it to be consistent with the experience I would expect at any small/boutique hotel. However, even the language in the agreement includes that the guest should consider this before booking. However, this was NOT brought to my attention at the time of booking three weeks earlier. And the reality of the noise level far exceeded what most guests would reasonably anticipate from such wording. Between the excessive noise and the unexplained charge, the overall experience was disappointing. While the restaurant is worth visiting, I would not recommend staying at the hotel unless you are fully prepared for a very loud environment and are comfortable with the possibility of unexpected post-stay charges. read more

We love this spot! Been here multiple times and it never disappoints. Our most recent visit was for my birthday dinner. Arranging the night with management was easy and seamless! They were able to accommodate to our requests and even created a printed out menu for the dinner. A cocktail was even created and named after me to celebrate the night! read more

For how long I've lived in Reno, I haven't come to The Jesse for cocktails before (wild I know). They have a dedicated parking lot for patrons of The Jesse but it fills up quick. Inside is so pretty cute little bar, with warm and cozy lighting. They have a small food menu with appetizers and then larger shareable items. We opted for the Gyro Platter. Phenomenal! Served with pita, tzatziki and tabbouleh. Can't wait to come back ! read more

We went on a Sunday, it was dead... We ordered a lot and had high hopes, the appetizer a pistachio feta was good we had to ask for it to be warmed to room temp as it was cold and kinda non spreadable. We ordered fried veggies those were my favorite, Za'atar fries were ok, they didn't give us dipping sauces w them. The tzatziki plate was egh the pita bread was good. For entrees we ordered the chicken and beef this is where it really went south, the meat was so black with char it was not edible the chicken was tough, So not good all n all, when we asked about deserts they said they just didn't offer them that evening. Strange experience, I would not recommend the New Jesse, sad to say there are to many places killing it right now read more

Wonderful place and service, cocktails are , and the food is great. I really recommend the pizzas!

We spent a weekend at the Jesse with our pitbull and it was a wonderful experience!! We were celebrating a birthday and the staff helped me surprise my boyfriend with balloons and cake waiting in our room upon our arrival. The bed was comfy, the room was spacious and the hotel was quiet and relaxing. We were also in walking distance to the downtown casinos, which was super fun! I'm glad there was a reasonably priced, chic option on our trip to Reno and we will definitely be staying here again! read more

When visiting Reno and Lake Tahoe for two days we stayed at The Jesse for two nights. They were accommodating and super nice! The bar and grill has amazing food, we tried the ground lamb with rice and roasted veggies (you should try it!) good taste and worth it! The rooms are beautifully remodeled with comfortable king bed and a huge walk in shower! The view, well ... can't say it was wonderful but everything was enough to enjoy the room. I do have to say that there is no elevator and all rooms are on the upper levels. If you cannot do stairs, not recommended. We did have our dogs, it went very well. read more

Although we all miss the Tacos, The Jesse's new Mediterranean menu is fantastic! There are aps and small plates as well as larger plates. I am making my way through the menu but so far my favorite aps are the Falafel Bites, the Spiced Lamb Meatballs and the Mediterranean Fries. From the larger plates I'm digging the Shrimp Saganaki Flatbread and the Mediterranean Bowl. For the bowl you can choose chicken, falafel or lamb. If you are nostalgic for the margaritas don't worry. All the previous margs are still there with the addition of the new Rose Margarita which is fire. The new cocktail menu is amazing. My favorite is the Dirty Dimitri which is a riff on a martini with house infused tomato Basil vodka, dry Vermouth and Umami Bitters. (Chef's Kiss) There are some great new faces on the staff but you get the same great feel in the bar from the old crew with Nito at them helm and all my favorite tenders, Chloe, Michelle and Brandon who have all stepped into the new vision without loosing the great hospitality and vibe that previous owner Piper cultivated. The new owners are great, very friendly and working to carry the torch while also creating something new. Come check out music and dancing by Desert Beats on the patio every Thursday starting at 7pm. read more

I lived there several years ago and it wasn't the nicest well kept place,of course it was owned by somebody else back then.I came across this place again while I was searching for a hotel while I was in Reno.I decided to give it a try and boy oh boy was I impressed!I The rooms were beautifully done. Spacious, modern and cozy. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Definitely will be back again,and again!! read more

If you want a place to grab a drink that has great aesthetic and vibes, The Jesse is your spot! The backlight behind the bar. The exposed brick walls. The giant plants. The dim lighting. The beautiful decor. It's all stunning and comes together to create such a lovely atmosphere! We came on a Monday, so of course we had to participate in Margarita Monday! Margs were $9 each and were good but not the best I've had. They have some great drink options but I usually come here more for the aesthetic than for the drinks themselves. Some of the drinks feel overpriced and servings can be small. They have a really nice patio out back and a cute taco shop there too--it's a fun place to hang out when the weather is warmer. This is a cool spot to stop by when making the rounds in the brewery district! read more

Always one of my favorite places to go especially in the summer. Patio is gorgeous and the drinks are delicious. Quite the hidden gem!

I have been to the Jesse several other times and I love their drinks, specially the mezcal cocktails. I recently learned that you can rent out their lounge area for private events and decided to host my husband 40th birthday party at the Jesse! Sarah is exceptional!! Easy to communicate with and we planned the whole thing in a couple of days. They helped set up the decorations Their food menu is delicious! We Did a taco bar buffet and all the proteins were to die for! If you are visiting on the weekend do not skip on the carne guisada tacos The entire staff was super attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend the Jesse for your next private event and/or for drinks and food! Thank you all for making the event a total success!! read more

This hotel was so terrifying that we could not even check in. We booked one night and the parking lot was filled with scary people. The parking lot had signs saying you must take your valuables. The hotel has no lobby, is closed for breakfast so my cousin who stayed there for one night and tried to get coffee in the morning was accosted by people experiencing homelessness. My cousins ended up leaving hotel a day later. They advertise as having a roof top bar which suggests a legit boutique hotel. We are totally unfamiliar with the area so had no idea how dangerous the area is and that we could not walk safely outside the hotel or leave car unattended. So... all we did is arrive, open our room and then turnaround and booked a hotel at a nice casino near the airport. The Jesse would not give us our money back hence my reason for posting. This is an unacceptable customer experience. read more

We were headed to my husband's holiday party across the street and decided to get a room at the Jessie last minute. Luckily they had a room available although it was a Sunday. It is such a charming place. I loved the brick walls and simple decor and art. The bathroom has a nice large updated shower. However there isn't really any counter space in the bathroom for getting ready. My only complaint is the mirror situation in the bathroom of our room. The mirror above the sink is pretty small round mirror but it is so high I could only see my eyes and forehead. There is a bigger mirror on the wall across from the toilet but there is no outlet there which made it very difficult when trying to curl my hair. After we got ready we wanted to check out their bar downstairs before we headed to our party. They have a pretty extensive line of spirits to choose from. We have a few signature drinks that were fantastic. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone!! Such a more homey feeling than your typical hotel!! Even if you don't need a place to stay I recommend checking out the bar! read more

Very disappointing experience. We moved to this hotel during the motorcycle weekend event and the noise from motorcycles all night long was unbearable. No sleep. The room was extremely tiny and overpriced for Reno. Wouldn't stay again as the rooms are very close to street level (it's essentially more like a bed and breakfast) and do not offer adequate quiet and calm needed for a good night's rest. read more

Amazing place in Reno. Even has a parking lot. Yes... it's in a small boutique hotel and has a patio. Great cocktails and happy hour! Tacos were excellent and ask for habanero salsa if you love heat. But the best part?!? The bartenders! All were so awesome and friendly and I felt as if I'd been a regular for years. If I ever go back to Reno, this is definitely the spot. Also, their focus is tequila and mezcal but they had some excellent scotch too! read more
