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.

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

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

This was a great stop and well worth your careful consideration…read more Our bartender that day made all the difference. He was friendly, willing to engage us in conversation, allowed us to ask questions without making us feel bad, and, quite frankly, made the visit very special. What did he do that was special? First, he made a great cocktail, and not everyone does that well. Second, he allowed us to taste some of their inventory prior to making a purchase of a pour from some of these very rare bottles. Third, he provided the same customer service for everyone in the bar, not just my wife and I. It was a very casual Friday afternoon, and there were maybe four other people in the bar besides my wife and I, and so there was not a need to hurry for anyone. Very comfortable and casual environment. Will we be back, yes, especially if we get lucky and get a good parking spot.

Amazing food and great prices!…read more I have seen this place pop up on my Yelp account many times as I've been searching for places to try. I brought it up to my sister and she also said she had been wanting to go especially since she was told they have gluten free options so we decided to pop in for lunch. We went on a Sunday around 2:45 and it wasn't super busy so we were able to get a table right away. We were immediately brought water and menus. There was the regular menu, happy hour and brunch. Brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday until 3. We both tried the blackberry mule mocktail which was good but tasted quite heavy on the ginger beer. I couldn't decide between the breakfast pizza and poutine fries so I got both. The poutine fries were on the happy hour menu during that time. The breakfast pizza was quite large and fennels meant for at least two people but it was nice and hot and cheesy and I loved the addition of the egg but wish it came with more than one. It also needed a sauce of some kind, ranch or salsa or even hot honey. The poutine fries were delicious! I got it with mushroom gravy and haven't been able to stop thinking about them. I was unable to try the stuffed avocado and Baja bowl that my sisters ordered due to my avocado allergy but she really enjoyed it. The service was prompt and our waitress was really nice. The inside was so cute and you do have the option to sit outside. Can't wait to back and bring my husband, the menu has so much I want to try!

It was due to the seasoning. However, it was packed with a variety of flavors. It wasn't dry and loose, which is what I have encountered at a few other places. All in all, there was so much in it that it was difficult to evaluate what I was eating, which is a good thing. It means I'll have it again :). It functioned as a whole rather than as separated ingredients to give a complex flavor profile, which I appreciated. The fries were seasoned beautifully. Very savory. I enjoyed them. Cooked wonderfully as well. The tortilla chips in the nachos.. I don't know if they were made there or not, but they gave the impression of being store-bought. The quality was not great. The nachos themselves... plenty of ingredients that you can mix together, but the ingredients weren't like a complete package. They were like a pile of separate things. I expect a well-balanced mixture of ingredients. The layer of queso was below while the avocado was clumped up at the top. The ingredients separately were quite bland. I wouldn't have this again. The brownie was better than a flourless chocolate torte and quite large. I enjoyed it, though I would say that it's not as good as a more standard brownie. I wouldn't have this again.

This is one of the worst bars I have ever gone to. The Bouncers are complete fucking assholes and become way to aggressive with people for no reason. They also take there job way to seriously, I personally witnessed them assault 2 patrons trying to go into the bar for no reason. Even if you do cooperate with them they will manage to find a way to become violent with you. Once you get in its even worse the bartenders are dicks that don't care about getting people their drinks, and it seems like everyone that works there doesn't give a fuck about the guests. This is by far the worst fucking bar in reno, I will never be going there again, and I hope it gets shut down soon. read more

This bar isn't even a real bar. It's as the homeless guys of Reno found a home and came up with the shitty ass name. When I got there all I saw was guys and bouncers who think theyre hard. All they do is harass you and try to hit on girls that look like guys. My dog can make better drinks than these bartenders and they taste like ass. All they want is your money and to make you buy drinks over and over. They play music from the 1960s and expect girls to dance to that bullshit, it would help if theirs actually girls there. The best part of this bar is you meet a lot of tweakers and fucking weirdos. read more

This bar is by far, the most useless, most impractical use of space in the country. This bar does nothing but harass its consumers and create more issues than the bars alcohol can solve. The only reason this bar makes a profit off of its drinks inside is because this bar makes it such a bitch to get in. Never would I ever recommend this bar to my friends or people I barely even know.

I was perfectly content to people watch at my table near the dance floor until the one song I learned came on and I got to show off my old cheerleading skills that were still rusty but that's ok haha, and near the end of my night they played Cupid Shuffle and the Wobble so for people like me that like a different type of music, we still got to enjoy :) they did stray a few songs away from country throughout the night as well but they all had line dances to go with them! So funny. 5$ cover and cheap drinks which were actually good. Randy made me a take on lemon drop with mango and peach schnapps and it was yummy! They don't allow drinks on the dance floor so no need to worry about people spilling on you or a sticky floor! They also have a food menu which had some good stuff on it.

It would be nice if the owner didn't respond with a snarky comment and maybe took constructive criticism, fix your exhaust system and I would happily give you a 4 rating for an authentic dive bar. As you can tell by the owners response they don't care and not going to change. Staff are friendly, and at least the one bartender isn't asleep behind the bar (maybe they switched him out or I came on a day he wasn't there). I'll give it a 2 star rating because it looks like they're cleaning up and painting a bit, but it really should be a one. EP Listening Lounge is clean 1 block away Ryan's is a dive bar, a bit clampish for my taste but whatever Vassar Lounge has lots of parking and pool tables, but more than walking distance I think there's a new scene happening off 6th street or is that 4th, new changes down there.

This bar is HANDS DOWN my favorite in Reno. We stop here every time we're in town. I love the owner…read moreKathy. Chris and TJ are awesome!! They are usually tending bar when we come in. The regulars welcome us wholeheartedly and I appreciate that in a dive bar. Dive bar etiquette is pretty simple. Don't be an Asshole . thank you W for all the fun times!!
