My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

I'm battling this review. I battle rating it for the drinks/ambiance versus the service. The good:…read moreabsolutely the cutest vibe and decor. Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

The doors open into an pocket sized oasis right here in our own dry AF high-desert air; a dimly lit collection of tropical plants, puffer fish, ukelele music and aloha shirts. Its like a fever dream - the lovechild of Elvis Hawaiian movies and a trippy classic Disneyland ride, punctuated by neon and heavy cigarette smoke. The drink menu is extensive & eccentric. The establishment's proprietor, Dr. Shocker, perpetually clad in floral print and signature straw hat, is a fixture at the corner of the bar. He tells great stories. This is a true Reno hidden gem, and harkens to a simpler era of the classic Tiki bar, strong drinks, and living on island time. Go get drinks, get some samosas from next door...and get an Uber home. You'll need it.

I love the variety on offer and there are some unique options I've never had before. I'm looking forward to going back to try more!! I'm no tiki expert and I've never met a tiki I didn't enjoy but I think this is a great addition to the bar options in Reno.

The drink menu is perfect for summer, featuring fun tiki-style twists that make you want to stay for another round. I tried the Holidae Inn, and it was incredible like drinking a melted Dole Whip in the best possible way. Absolutely delicious! The bartenders were genuinely welcoming and made the experience even better. I also loved the indoor/outdoor seating, which creates the perfect spot to hang out with friends. Parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's in Midtown, but don't let that stop you. This place is absolutely worth the effort. I'll definitely be back!

However the drinks were pricey in my opinion and half of the glass was taken up by a giant ice cube. I got the most popular drink according to the bartender and was not impressed, it wasn't fruity or sweet just a bit of flavor then the taste of just alcohol. Cool bar to visit once but I will not be going again.

Younger than WV which I feel is a HUGE plus for midtown. Midtown has potential to be so much more than it is, and with these new visions I strongly believe it will get there. The staff was super nice! The group for the party was huge and the 3 employees running it were kicking ass and taking names. Very fast service and with a smile on their faces from the beginning to the end. Steve, who I believe is the owner was funny and just a nice fresh new face to midtown! I think he is going to do great! Drinks were delish and I'm excited to pop back in during normal business hours.

We came in on a weeknight so it wasn't super crowded but made some friends at the bar. We ordered basic drinks, like g&t's, vodka sodas, shots, etc. haha. It was a lot of fun! Sat at the bar and really enjoyed talking with Jo! She was so nice and really made us feel welcomed at the bar. The bathrooms are also very clean as well.

I really love the food here and then the environment creates a place to sit down and have fun with your loved ones or friends. Great food, not all frills. The chicken skin nachos blew my mind. The crunch, the flavors, and the homemade sauce. The wings are rival to ones I've had in Buffalo, NY. Finally fresh blue cheese sauce. The wings had a great crisp. The Cajun pasta is my favorite. the shrimp is succulent, and the sauce packs so much flavor. The stuffed lamb chip was grilled to perfect medium. The wedge salad is delish and fresh and filling. The house made ice creams are so good. I had a goat cheese chocolate brownie and it was so rich.

Wide variety of alcohol. Step out of your comfort zone and let them make a drink for you with your favorite spirit. The wall is full of selections from around the world. They do not have a beer selection. Have your valid ID ready no matter how "young" you are. Everyone is carded. Bouncers are there at night and will make sure you get to your car in the lot if needed.

We visited The Chapel Tavern in Midtown Reno and it was genuinely one of the best experiences ever…read more The bartender was fantastic and made the visit memorable by creating custom drinks based on our alcohol preferences which was such a fun and personal touch. We had two very different tastes (vodka and tequila) and she nailed both drinks perfectly. The bar felt clean, welcoming and comfortable even with its edgy vibe. I also loved the tarot cards they provide! I think they may have been intended as coasters (lol) but I kept mine as a souvenir and now use it as my bookmark. It's become one of my favorite little keepsakes. Location and parking: it's on a main strip right on the corner with a small parking lot but there's also accessible street parking in the neighborhood. I highly recommend it and will definitely return anytime I'm in Reno

The food is next level, with Chef Sean as the secret weapon in the kitchen. Every dish feels intentional, elevated, and consistently on point. And then there's the bar... the mixology is just as impressive. Whether you're ordering a classic or something creative, the cocktails are crafted with the same level of care as the food. What I love most is how versatile it is. I've been there on a weeknight just to unwind and soak in the atmosphere, and it's just as perfect on the weekends meeting up with friends. And when it comes to their events... drag bingo, drag brunch, and special occasions... they know how to create an experience that's fun, inclusive, and unforgettable. This isn't just a bar, it's a staple in Midtown. One of those places you keep coming back to, again and again.

We came in for Saturday Brunch around 10am, early, I know, however we were greeted and given a table right away. The restaurant wasn't busy for a Saturday, we did receive really attentive and thoughtful service from our server, Kylie. While they still had their Holiday drink specials menu, the server did confirm they have 2 for 1 mimosas and $6 bloody marys. The special was a Prime Rib breakfast burrito which both of the people I came in with ordered while I ordered the breakfast BLT. The Prime Rib burrito was so tender and juicy with a fried egg in the middle, definitely a special item for sure. I had the BLT on an everything bagel with a side of fruit and it hit the spot of a lighter, less hearty breakfast. For good service and cheap drinks, I will definitely be back!
