    Awesomeness

    he Local in Reno is hands down the best bar ever. The vibe is chill but also full of energy, like every night could turn into a story worth telling. The drinnks are crafted perfectly--whether you're into beer, cocktails, or just a strong pour, they nail it every time. The staff isn't just friendly, they actually remembr your name and what you like to order, wich makes it feel more like hanging out with friends than just another night out. The music is always on point, the crowd is fun without being too wild, and the space has that perfct balance of cozy and lively. Honestly, once you go, it's hard not to make it your spot--it's the heart of Reno's nightlife.

    Great place to grab a drink!! The bartender (Keri Ann) was mixing up some of the most delicious margaritas I've had! The call it shots were great, a nice selection of booze to choose from. The machine's definitely didn't do us wrong and kept us playing and winning. Fantastic place to play pool and some fun tournaments they have in the mix. If ya love dive bars put this in your circuit. I'll definitely be back again, everyone on the other side of the bar was so welcoming.

    The Local is the place to be for pool and cheap drinks. The other patrons are welcoming and the bartenders are very friendly. You can wind down here after work or amp up for a great night. Machines are ready to pay out and drinks are always creative. $1 off local beers on Sundays and Mondays and pool tournaments

    Garbage.

    Walking and had no service. Bar tender was along on Friday night and was more into running at the mouth that customers. I sat for ten minutes before I walked out. Hopefully you can get a drink. Enjoy.

    Ok, you wanna cool place to get the edge off? The Local!

As local Sparks businesses become more corporate, you know that you're supporting someone who lives and works in the community that we love. She also owns and runs "The Ranchhouse" adjacent to P&I which she revitalized as a local destination for great musical guests. Both businesses have a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's not a place where you are surrounded by random "barflies" who don't engage with others or bother you. It's friendly people, good drinks, great entertainment and even as a non-drinker, still a place to hang out with friends. It can get busy but you still won't feel "alone". Bounce between her adjacent establishments on a weekend during the shows or plant yourself in one spot and make some friends. Patrice will always make you feel like a friend she just hadn't met yet. And check out the decor! That's her too!

The sauce is rich without being too heavy and the meatballs are so juicy and delicious. It comes with bread for dipping and I love the crispiness against the warm sauce. I ordered the apple and fig chicken sandwich which was bomb! The chicken was the best part! But it had arugula, red onions and apples, both red and green. The fig mustard and Brie were amazing. This is one of the best sandwiches I've had. I also got clam chowder as my side which was also really good, not too salty. The service was really great! Any of the servers who saw we had empty glasses refilled them or cleared plates. There is a beautiful outdoor patio area, it was about a 30 minute wait. There was no wait and plenty of space for indoor dining and bar area. Quirky fun fork decor which can be found throughout the Restaurant Things to note: Split plate charge is $6 No split checks on parties of 6+ Automatic gratuity for parties of 8 or more

    I've visited Twisted Fork twice now and the food doesn't disappoint both times. Although I have yet…read moreto patronize this restaurant for other than a work gathering, if I am in the area and looking for a spot to eat, Twisted Fork would be high on the list. Airy and bright atmosphere, lots of windows and outdoor patio seating on those nice days. I tried the grilled cheese with short rib and homemade chips. The ribs were tender and the sauce savory. It was a little light on the cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich. I expected a pull of cheese when biting it but it was more like a splattering of shredded cheese on the short ribs. Flavorful overall and the bread toasty. My coworker had the Twisted Bahn Mi vietnamese sandwich. Now we are both from Northern CA and had plenty of vietnamese sandwiches there but let's do a side by side. Starting with the bread. Twisted version was a softer hogie kind of roll. Where traditional viet sandwiches use a baguette roll with a crispy outer crust and firm inside. The meat. Twisted version had shredded pork, more like pulled pork. It was slathered in a korean style sauce. Traditional viet sandwiches typically use grilled meats without any sauces. The condiments. This is where both Twisted and traditional are similar and different. Shredded carrots, daikon radish, cilantro, mint leaves are similar. What's different is the heavy use of shiracha aioli in the Twisted and traditional using pork liver pâté with mayo. So am I saying the Twisted Bahn Mi is bad? No, just stating it is not the same as traditional Bahn Mi and better to know than to be surprised. Would I order it, no because I an used to traditional. The grilled pork belly and bacon mac and cheese appetizers were great! I would consider those two as my entree! If you are in the area, give Twisted a try.

We've been here numerous times, and it is long overdue that I give them the five stars they deserve. The Vibe & Hospitality tucked away in the corner of a shopping center on Los Altos, this is the definition of a true locals' spot. The history here is incredible--the owner, Jim, relocated and rebuilt this business after losing everything in the Paradise Camp Fire. That "rising from the ashes" spirit is reflected in the hospitality. Jim is constantly making rounds to ensure everyone feels welcome. If you get a visit from him at your table, you'll see exactly why this place has so much soul. Jen the manager is also amazing and consistently ensures the service is fantastic. The Patio & Pet-Friendly atmosphere the patio is a great space and is very pet-friendly. We've brought our beagle, Bodhi, and Jim even made a point to come out and say hello to him personally. Those small touches are what turn a restaurant into a favorite. The Food & Drinks the menu is top-tier. A few standouts from our many visits: * The Deep Dish Pizza: A total showstopper. When it hits the table, it literally turns heads across the entire restaurant. It requires a 45-minute prep time, but it is absolutely worth the wait. * Burgers & French Dip: The burger is easily one of the best in the Reno/Sparks area, and the French Dip is amazing. * The Wings: Often wings are just an afterthought, but these are really, really good. * The Bar: They have a solid craft beer selection (the flights are a must) and their Aperol Spritz and French 75 are perfectly executed. Whether you are looking for a great aesthetic, a lively sports bar energy, or just a high-quality meal, this is the spot. Support this local business--you won't regret it.
