Great place to get a few drinks with friends. Cute vibe and the bartender was super nice. Drinks were great. A hidden Reno gem.
Cute little cocktail bar we discovered while bar hopping in Midtown. Drinks were very pretty and delicious but a bit pricey. Not sure if it was just a weird night but it was also suuuuper dead when we were there
Gorgeous little cocktail shop! Interior is small but beautiful. Cocktails were superb. So much so that I want to go back when the patio is open and the spring sun is shining! We had the negroni, the French 75, the paper airplane and the . My favorite was the strawberry martini and J's was the paper airplane. This place is a wonderful example of crafty artisan cocktails. Waitress was nice, and helped with questions on alcohol. Can't wait to go back!
For as long as I have lived in midtown, I can't believe I haven't been to this place. It is so cute and tiny. Very romantic and intimate. Theres indoor seating with a small bar. When the weather is nice, their outdoor seating is great ! Their cocktails are top notch. I highly recommend the espresso martini. Of course
If you enjoy a fantastic espresso martini, this is the place for you! It's a small, cozy bar located right in the middle of downtown.
We've been to this bar a couple of times in the past few weeks and within the past year. The lighting makes for great ambiance and a wonderful date night location, before or after dinner. It's next door to death and taxes which has the opposite vibe, so there's something for everyone. The drinks here are mostly gin based, which is my absolute favorite and makes this place one of the best places on my list to get drinks. All of the drinks I've tried from them are delicious. My favorites are the french 75, which is hard to find a well made one, and the white linen. My boyfriend got a paper plane and also liked it. The aesthetics carry into the drinks with cute lemon peels as garnishes. The price point is a little high, but honestly most bars are. I don't feel they're as welcoming as other bars, but their layout can make that more difficult. For the quality, delicious drink options, and beautiful venue, we will always keep coming back.
Another gem that I can't believe I haven't visited before now! This intimate bar/lounge is absolutely perfect! The interior is stylishly decorated, and the patio is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious cocktail! Jumping on the Espresso Martini bandwagon, I selected theirs because I heard they make one of the best. It absolutely did not disappoint! Smooth, creamy and just the best blend of flavors! My hubby opted for his go-to Old Fashioned, and had zero complaints. Definitely a place I will be coming back to and referring people to as much as I can.
I visited Amari around 6 pm on a Wednesday night and all of the tables inside were taken. We sat outside for a few minutes after ordering our drinks and luckily a table opened up so we were able to move inside. We ordered a strawberry martini and a white linen. Both drinks were exquisite and delicious. I don't think the cost of the drink is worth it at most bars, but the drinks at Amari were definitely worth the price! I ordered a strawberry martini thinking the strawberry flavor would be in the drink. I was surprised when the strawberry flavor was just the dusting on the outside of the glass, but the flavors of the dusting and the drink worked together so well. The white linen was such a light and refreshing drink. Amari has the perfect menu for the warm summer days ahead. The service is a bit slower than at other bars, even when your drinks are the only ones being made, and the bartender didn't seem very interested in conversing with the patrons. I can't wait to come back and try more of Amari's menu!
Love this little bar! Amazing cocktails, always friendly and amazing staff! A cute little location to have a drink out. Their Paper Plane is one of my favorite drinks out! (I did not get that this time - but will always get one next time)
I've always wanted to try this place, it's a bar in midtown that offers Italian inspired cocktails and spritz. I won a gift card to Amari which finally gave my husband and I no excuse not to try it out. Being centrally located in midtown is nice and it has a few small seating inside as well as a very cute courtyard with seating. Small tables, plants, lights and cure Amari and Campari signs. My husband tried the marzipan old fashion and it was really good, he wished he tasted more almond like flavor but I personally really liked it and I don't drink whiskey or bourbon. He also for the French 75 and it was a good classic drink. For myself, I usually always order an espresso martini when I go to places and the bartender was nice in recommending drinks based on my interests and she recommended me try this and a spritz. It was honestly one of the best espresso martinis I've had (and I've tried them all around socal, Truckee, Reno, Amsterdam, London, Croatia, and italy). Definitely worth trying, it's the perfect sweet to bitter to semi strong drink. After that I got the itailian riviera spritz and was also really good and don't know really know how to describe it other than totally worth trying as well. They also have Negroni, grappa and Amaro flights we will have to try next time. Definitely a nice place to relax and try some nice cocktails with the hubbie.
If you're looking to step into a New York/European oasis in Reno, definitely check out this quaint little bar! Amari features both a beautiful indoor booth area and outdoor garden seating, as well as a simple menu of classic European drinks such as Aperol spritz, Prosecco and gin & tonic. The bartender is quite attentive and masterful at crafting cocktails, but he also gives you enough space to ensure that you can focus on your own intimate conversations. Would recommend checking them out for a classy date if you're in the Midtown Reno area!
A classy bar with modern speakeasy vibes. It is tucked near Taco Shop and Death and Taxes. This is a quaint bar with limited seating but ample atmosphere. Their drinks were nicely priced as the cocktails were large. The unique menu item were their flights which are a selection of alcohol at sample size. I had the Amaro flight and it was a little out of my league, but it was an elegant set of drinks. My friends also had cocktails which was more my style. Too bad this place can only seat so many people at once. But it is a great place for bar hopping!
I don't get out to bars much anymore but I'm trying to change that to just live a little more in my own town. This was such a pleasant place for me to really kick that off. I was the first patron of the day and had the place to myself for about 45 minutes. Bartender greeted and treated me very nicely even though I sat outside and just ordered the one drink open and close the tab, she still came to check on me. I read a book and enjoyed my French 75. The patio is beautiful and small. The inside is absolutely adorable with brick walls and a romantic vibe. Gorgeous bar area. Small, intimate. I loved the feel of the place. I felt right at home all by myself but would happily come back with others. read more

Another favorite (and is owned by the same owners as Death & Taxes), I absolutely adore Amari for some classic cocktails. Some of my favorites are their Manhattans and also, based on a recommendation from a bartender (whom I adore!) the Il Professore. Absolutely delicious all with great balance and profiles, we have made this our favorite summer spot. Nestled in the middle of midtown, there is intimate seating inside but the vibes outside are wonderful, especially as the sun goes down on a summer evening. It's definitely the spot to be in if you want to try out some great craft cocktails! read more

The menu posted outside lists a Cherry Blossom Negroni, using cherry blossom infused vermouth. Sounds awesome! I order it, only to be told that it's no longer on the menu; the menu posted outside is over a year old. Lame. Instead, I had an Italicus spritz: I do not recommend it. read more

Absolutely loved this place. It's not a super innovative cocktail program like their sister bar, Death and Taxes, but their focus on doing killer classics was solid! The bartender that was there was very knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10 would recommend! read more
I think I have discovered my new favorite hidden gem. I have been wanting to come here for a long time, and finally was able to happen! It was a tough decision to sit inside or outside but something about being in their patio after a work day sounded amazing! The inside is absolutely beautiful, so next time I will plan to grab a seat indoors. I ordered drinks that I had seen on their instagram, and the waitress was more than accommodating to wait for my friends to arrive to take our drinks. I ordered the Spritz royale and the Italian Rivera, both were beautifully presented (almost too pretty to drink) along with a little of their Apertivo of Torres Mediterranean chips. Each one of us througougly enjoyed what we ordered. The environment is relaxing and the drinks were refreshing. The waitress was very attentive to us as well. Hope to come back soon as the warm weather continues! read more
My dream cocktail list! I am a gin fan and there were several options on the menu. I went for a white linen and my date had a sazerac and both were lovely. It was quiet at about 8 pm which made for a nice place to grab a drink to end our night. The old building, mirrors, candles, and plants made for both a cozy and swanky vibe. At about 9 several groups came in filling up the tables, bar, and even one outside table despite the 30 degree weather. It's a small space so better for a couple or two than a big party. There is room outside for warmer nights. read more
I really love this place! It's a bit hidden and smaller than expected inside, but it has a really lovely ambiance, delicious drinks, and really welcoming bartenders. The menu seems to lean a bit toward gin cocktails and quite honestly has a bunch of ingredients I've never even heard of! They also have a variety of spritzers, which I explored and really enjoyed! I tried three of them. (1) the Italian Riviera, which was simple and delicious, if a bit sweet. (2) Spritz Royale--stunningly beautiful with purple coloring and baby's breath garnish, and very tasty. My 2nd favorite drink. (3) My favorite, the Winters Evening! A really unique taste, described as "being wrapped in a bear skin rug in front of the fire" haha! I mean how can you not want to try that?! read more
This is a cozy little European inspired social spot for amateur mixologists. There's only 4 small tables with bench seating inside, so probably best experienced as aperitif or digestif around your meal. The area gets a little sloppy with college kids later in the evening. The venue is small enough that your server and your bartender are one and the same. The drink menu is eclectic and interesting. Highly recommend giving it a shot one night! The quaint, tucked away location along with the quality drinks offer an experience other local venues can't offer. Only suggestion would be to dial the music down about 25%. The music works with the environment, but the volume overwhelms the conversation that would pair nicely with this intimate setting. read more

Just visited Amari and I'm asking myself why haven't I been here yet?! We had the white linen and the royale and loved each of them. The white linen is sweet while the royale was just a tad bitter so it was a perfect pair to enjoy! The bar is extremely romantic and I hope to come back soon! read more

What a cute little bar! I've been here twice I the last month. I love that their drinks are not sweet, and all the ingredients are made in house. So delicious! Both times, the bartender has been great. Very attentive, making sure we had drinks and a full bottle of water. Definitely will be back. read more
Newest project from the owners of Midtown Eats and Death & Taxes. Bartender is very knowledgeable about all the Italian liqueurs and what they can pair up with. Indoor seating was a little too cold for me so I opted to sit outside under the beautiful patio lights. I ordered a Spritz while friends ordered the espresso martini. I have to say my drink was good it was garnished with a beautiful rose petal but boy the espresso martini was phenomenal. Good place to bring a date to. read more

Such a pleasant bar. Seating is limited in here. It would be a really nice spot for the spring/summer months when you can sit comfortably outdoors. We had the French 75 and the East India Sazerac. The French 75 was perfectly made and the Sazerac had such a unique flavor! Cute, intimate spot for a date night read more
Cute bar with tons of personality! Friendly service. You can sit outside on their patio or inside. Both are charming and you'll feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of your day. I found Amari a little hard to spot because there was not any noticeable signage. I ended up driving right by it on my first visit. I recommend just parking anywhere on Cheney and look for the red umbrellas. It's much easier to spot this cocktail bar when you're walking! read more
Located right next to death and taxes. I would suggest death and taxes over this place time and time again. We walked in around 7:30 on a Saturday and there were only two sets of customers (death and taxes was poppin). We were a group of 7 and the bartender was obviously annoyed as soon as we all walked in. We took a seat inside which consisted of one wall that was a while booth with stools on the other sides of the table. There were a few bench and tables seats outside. We scanned the QR code and pondered over the menu. After 10 minutes, the bartended very rudely walked past us and asked for us to have our IDs ready. 10 more minutes later she finally came back over to check them and take our order. The drinks didn't take very long and despite her terrible customer service, the drinks were delicious. We felt as though we could not enjoy them as she made us feel like we weren't wanted in her establishment so we downed our drinks and left. The ambiance, decor and drinks are amazing, but the service was terrible. read more
