I always love going to this bar. The service has always been quick, cocktails are delicious, and the atmosphere is beautiful. They have couches everywhere for comfortable seating. The decor is fabulous. I've been here early when nobody else is in and also late at night when it's packed, and I love the vibe of both. Definitely worth checking out.
My favorite cocktail bar in Reno! The inside is so cute and the bartenders are so sweet and get the drinks out so fast even when they are busy. And the drinks are so creative and tasty. They have trivia on Wednesday with Phil and it's so much fun. Pretty easy to find street parking too.
It's been years since I have been here but this spot maintains its eclectic feel and crafty cocktails. Popular bar with nice food options around ( next door and walking distance) We came for the particular food truck tonight and also grabbed a cocktail. Glad to see they are busy and business seems good. A great meet up spot and events happening regularly. Recommend you stop in and enjoy this fun bar and talk to some nice locals!
Bar 1864 is in Midtown, just off California Avenue, and within walking distance of plenty of other bars and restaurants. The space mixes Victorian style with an old saloon feel, filled with vintage touches and cozy seating. There are comfortable couches and lots of room at the bar. Every time we've been, the service has been excellent. The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and know their craft. They have a great selection of beer and liquor, along with creative house cocktails. The whiskey list is especially impressive, with some unique and hard to find options. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the kind of place where you can settle in for a while. Definitely worth a visit.
A long time go to favorite for cocktails. Whether it's date night or party night, you can't go wrong. Old Victorian vibe, fast service, fresh fruit in drinks. Toss it back and stay a while.
No food but the most amazing drinks! Marcos made us a 10/10 Gordon's cup that was so refreshing! He provided the best service and was so friendly! Will be back to see him again! The ambiance was perfect for a night out!
After seeing the pics, I wanted to come for the ambiance. As soon as we walked in, the bar tender gave us his attention and we felt welcomed. Which was super cool. We took a drink menu while enjoying the huge comfy couches and then ordered the lavender lemon drop and the clear and present danger, which we both recommend. This place is just so chill and was exactly what I needed after sushi and axe throwing. My advice is come, chill, drink and take a load off...oh yeah, and repeat!
We tried this place on a Saturday night after a recommendation from a friend. Really cool vibe. It had an 1800 vintage feel. All seating is couches or old chairs arranged in small cozy groups. The bar and cocktails were fabulous. We worked with the bartenders on creating different drinks and the cost was reasonable. There is no food available, but we will definitely add it to our cocktail rotation. Great time and a great find.
This is THE cocktail bar of all cocktail bars in Reno NV. I They can make a dirty gin martini better than anyone else in this town. They consistently update their menu. The service is amazing. There's a reason this place is packed every weekend and has a solid group of regulars everyone knows. We love it here
1864 is the classic cocktail bar and one of my favorites in Reno. It's got a chill laid back ambience with neat historical decor and a diverse and unique cocktail menu. It's on the pricier side, but that's part of the charm to come in and sit and enjoy a nice drink while enjoying the company of others. The seating areas are always nice to enjoy conversation in comfort with dim lighting and a quiet backdrop. They have a TV but it wasn't on, and I don't think I've ever seen it on, which I appreciate for a lounge cocktail bar like 1864. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive and I have never waited too long for a drink. 1864 is one of my favorite local bars, glad to finaly get a review in and will be back again soon!
Yummy drinks here!! Came here with a friend day after Election Day. I was questioning my judgement about coming out this evening as drinkis tend to make my friend yell, cry, and call me vile names. Not sure why she insists on talking about things we will never agree on. Luckily the bartender, upon arrival, was telling us and the few patrons, this was a politics free zone! Woo hoo! Interesting old appearing place, even smelled old and damp. I joked with my friend that I didn't know Febreeze made an "old damp" room fragrance. Gotta love a bar with a stuffed buffalo head too! Great drink menu! Had several delectable drinks. Will be back.
Stopped by many afternoons recently for reading clubs, friend chats, trivia nights, or date nights! Every time I am excited about the cocktails and the bartenders are equally happy to help out! My favorite is the Parangat Punch! Which is perfectly sweet but still has that alcohol taste. I always recommend dropping in!
We had been here a few times before but not recently. The other day, we called to confirm what their website advertised about happy hour because we had a recent bad experience at another place. We were looking for a place to meet up with family for drinks yesterday before they drove back to Truckee and 1864 Tavern ended up being the perfect spot! I went in first by myself while waiting for the others to arrive and immediately felt welcomed by the bartender. Turns out it was Dylan, one of the owners! He was warm, kind, friendly -- completely opposite of the experience we had at the other place we checked out. I love that this place celebrates Nevada and that they try to keep their inventory as local as possible. While waiting for my husband and in-laws to arrive, Dylan offered a couple tasters to me after I told him I am a fan of ciders. I ended up getting the Ace Guava Cider - it was refreshing and delicious! I brought my drink over to one of their comfy couches while waiting for my husband and in-laws to arrive. 1864 Tavern has a an old-timey, Victorian vibe which captures the spirit for which it was named - the year Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Nevada a state. I love that there are several seating areas scattered throughout comprised of couches and chairs facing each other with tables in between for your drinks. Your party will feel like it has a relaxing space to chat while also being part of a bigger, lively environment. We all had a great time - many thanks to Dylan for being so attentive to us all. My husband and I know we will come back soon - there are some creative craft cocktails on their menu that I'd like to try!
1864 Tavern is a great spot for delicious cocktails for intimate gatherings or larger groups. Most recently, I visited with a group of 10 for a birthday celebration. We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Saturday. The joint was nearly empty aside from a couple at the bar. Plenty of seating for our large group in the large, comfy couches. They also have cool built-in seating around the perimeter of the bar, though not nearly as comfortable as the vintage furniture. The menu is sorted by glass type. A fun and unique way to sort cocktails. They also have a selection of beer on draft and wine. The drinks can also be made into mocktails- a win for our group since we had a few non-drinkers. The 1859 mocktail was great. Perfectly sweet with a small hit of miso flavor from the miso honey. Probably even better and more balanced with the whiskey! Others in my group enjoyed working their way through the many light, dark, and sour beers on tap. 1864 offers a classic, relaxed atmosphere and a great place to get a cocktail. The prices are reasonable, too. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Yelp recommended 1864 Tavern, so we gave it a try. The drinks were really good and the prices were great. The male bartender was also friendly and helpful. I'm giving three stars because of an interaction with the other bartender. I asked him if he knew how to make a Painkiller, and he kindly said he'd made them before. I was only asking a question, but she interrupted with a sharp, "No, we don't make those." Her tone made a simple question feel unwelcome. I told her I'd been asking him, but the interaction left us uncomfortable. The drinks and prices were good. I just wish the service had been as friendly throughout. read more
When in Reno, I was really craving a top notch craft cocktail, and let me tell you this is the spot to go . You will get speakeasy vibes love all the vintage decor which transports you to the 1920s. Our mixologist was amazing and really knew what he was doing . Marcos was very nice and attentive he made us some fabulous drinks. Overall this place met all of our expectations. The drinks were fabulous. The service was amazing. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great cocktail. Can't wait to go back. read more

So I've been to Reno many times. But, I've not been to 1864 where it appears the locals go to. I'm thankful to my friend who introduced this place to me (and my other travel partners). A definite place for a revisit. (Fun Fact- My Yelp friends found this place in 2018 during Yelp's Unofficial Spring Break when a Yelp couple tied the knot and had their reception at 1864) What do you get there? Well, let's start with the service. Everyone there was polite. (5 stars) Adult craft beverages made to perfection. Ambiance? Like imbibing in your own home's parlor. Location? I don't know, I'm a visitor to Reno BUT that said, I'd check it out and find them if you're in Reno and check them out! #goodfriends #goodfellowship #flyforfun read more
Such a fun laid back bar with good service. Love the atmosphere... old time decor and lighting. Lots of varied comfortable seating options. We chose a comfy leather couch with ample table space. Feels clean and classy, nice spot for conversation and good drinks. And the drinks are GOOD. The egg whites on top were fluffy and added so much to my dessert drink choices. My favorite was the lavender lemon drop... although I would have preferred a bit more lavender flavor it was an excellent and enjoyable drink overall. Will be back! read more
Love this spot! Came here on a date and we had hot buttered rum. They specially make their own and I was told it was a secret it was absolutely delicious. We also had a couple other cocktails too. The bartender was super friendly and knowledgable. We had a great time ! read more
1864 Tavern is such a unique spot. I love the mood lighting, the vintage/antique furniture, and the lights in the windows. Every corner in the bar is a great backdrop for photos of drinks and/or with friends! I also enjoy when they play sports on their big TV. The service is awesome, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and were given a cocktail menu. I ordered the Lavender Lemon Drop, which I have had before, and my fiancé ordered one of their beers on draft. I usually enjoy this cocktail, but this time, something was a bit off. I'm not sure if they changed it recently or what? Additionally, the pour on the beer was not very full at all. I thought that was weird since we went in at a slower time, and the bartender was in no rush. I am thinking this was just an "off" night, since I have been here before and enjoyed the drinks. This won't deter me though, I will be back again to give it another go. read more
Stopped in here as it is near a restaurant we were going to and needed to grab a drink while waiting for our friends. I was immediately in l LOVE! Such a Cool mellow relaxed vibe made me feel welcome and at home. Like I had just received a hug. It has an old Speakeasy feel with an almost fancy traditional, vintage look and surround. The bartender was uber cool and definitely knows what he was doing. As a former bartender/mixologist myself, I can tell when a barkeep knows his way around a rail. This guy mixed us up two fresh and tasty cocktails that were satisfying and delicious and didn't leave us wanting for anything in regards to flavor. I cant wait to get back here and chill with a good friend, sip on one of their freshly mixed cocktails and a sit on one of their vintage davenports while my mind wanders into thinking its the mid 1800s. Cheers and bravo. read more

Amazing bar that's has a pleasant atmosphere with cozy vintage decor and comfortable seating and dim lighting. The staff was attentive and friendly, providing me with many excellent recommendations on what type of cocktails to get. It was my first time trying any type of cocktail and I highly recommend getting the "Bees Knees" drink, because it had many excellent flavors going on at the same time as I keep taking sips of it. This bar exceeded my expectations, especially since many bars are loud and chaotic, this bar carries a "wind-down and relax" type of environment and the friendly staff is what will keep me coming back here! They also have happy hours from 3-6 pm every Monday-Friday, which has the best deals on their drinks! read more
We have been going to 1864 Tavern for several years and it's always a great time! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the cocktails are delicious. We haven't had a drink we didn't like and they are willing to swap out the base spirit upon request. Along with the cocktail menu, they also have several beers on tap as well as red and white wine options. There is seating at the bar where you can see the bartenders in action, as well as plenty of cozy couch and chair seating. read more
I forgot how great this cocktail bar was!! Came in on a Friday night and the place was vibrant with life! Their cocktails were absolutely stellar as well - love when bars incorporate egg whites into frothy goodness. Prices were on par with all of midtown. And their decor is super eclectic - almost historic meets modern western? Super cool spot for sure. read more
This was our 2nd Stop for the Anniversary Night out with friends an family . Right off the bat coming in this is a very cool Antique style deco. Very large Couches and Chairs , pictures etc. sorry no interior pics from me . And actually really big inside. All the Drinks were amazing Moscow Mule , Old Fashion , Pabranagat Punch , Desert Rose. The Bartender was awesome , since our 20yr anniversary, (unfortunately didn't get his name ) but gave my wife a free drink. Awesome. We enjoyed very much we didn't stay super long but will definitely go back. Enjoy ! read more
My new favorite cocktail lounge in Reno! Maybe I'm late to the party but I'm thankful I was introduced to this place because it's awesome. I was walking by after dinner and noticed the bison head on the wall, cozy antique armchairs, and the portrait of Abe Lincoln and I couldn't resist taking a step inside. Their cocktail menu is diverse and the bartender was very friendly. There are several comfy seating areas to choose from and we made ourselves at home. I tried the lavender lemon drop and it was divine! There was so much to choose from on that cocktail menu. I will be back for more! read more
Not my first time there, but first time reviewing I guess! It's a cool, unfussy bar. I'd describe it as eclectic Victorian sheik. It seems to be more of a locals vibe and not touristy which to me is wonderful. Every one I spoke to was friendly and my whiskey sour type cocktail was on point. Plenty of street parking in the area and if you want to grab food before or after, there's a few places super close by. read more

1864 Tavern takes its cue from Nevada statehood and runs with it. Loved the beer, whiskey and ambiance. We had hoped that the VC mule would have a bit less ice but the flavor was good and the candied ginger yummy! Wishing they had a few food items or a partnership with cheese board across the street. Check it out after work. It's less crowded on weekdays. read more
I have been to this Tavern a few times and I've always been impressed by the atmosphere. The bar exudes an elegant ambiance with its vintage/sophisticated decor and table/couch settings-making a cozy environment. The drinks are meticulously crafted, featuring an array of fancy cocktails that tantalize the taste buds and have fun names in honor of the 36th state in the Union. The attentive staff adds to the experience, providing top-notch service and it's even dog friendly which really puts it at the top of my list. The beer inventory is mostly local and they have a rotating wine selection, on tap as well! 1864 is an ideal spot for those seeking a refined setting to unwind and savor exquisite beverages in style as well as a rad place to take out of towners/non-Nevadans. read more

A great discovery is this hip bar. 1864 Tavern is a kind of out of the way bar west of downtown. It certainly is worth getting to. Feels kind of Western but also modern. The happy hour is the best time. It seems like it's very casual. Just sit on a couch. There's a bar area, but the couches are more comfortable, and there's board games you can play. Good place for local original cocktails. Lots of classic ingredients with a new twist. Came in with the girl one late afternoon. We got a seat on the couch and ordered the Pahranagat Punch. It's $7 at happy hour. This is a mixture of champagne, lemon juice, mint, nutmeg, orange juice, and rye whiskey. It's both sour and sweet. This is easy to knock back, and it will get you fucked up. It's also nice to sip and enjoy the simple yet complex flavor. The other cocktails sound good but this is our favorite of the ones we've already had. Come here on a full stomach before drinking. It doesn't have any food. There are some close restaurants around this. read more
