Over the years I have stopped in Archive for a great glass of wine. This summer Archive added a small event space to their property. A small building in the back of the patio area. Archive has also been hosting some fabulous pop dinners and wine tasting in this new space. The pop ups have been great fun. I have attended two where two of my favorite chefs were creating their unique dishes, and Archive owner nailed the perfect pairings with all the dishes. The space isn't huge, so the events are limited to 30 people. Just right to get star treatment from everyone. No pretentious wine snobs or chefs, everyone discussing the highlights of the food and wine. Besides the dinners, Archive has also been hosting blind tastings and other fun wine discovery night. Street parking is limited. There is a parking ramp just around the corner that is easy to use. read more

We went here wanting to check out a new wine place. We were not disappointed. The gentleman was very friendly and knowledgeable. An enormous wine selection, you are most definitely able to find something you like here. They also have snacks and charcuterie and if that isn't enough, there are a few places to get something to eat inside West Street Market that you can get and bring back in. read more

First time here and this place is so cute. Located in downtown, parking can be a hit or miss. I parked in the parking garage across from the old movie theater. They don't have a set menu since they have over 85+ wine options. You tell them what your wine preferences are and you get a little wine tasting before choosing one you like. Behind the place is a place called The Fix. They serve 100% vegan food and there's Thali next door which is a vegetarian restaurant. Had a lovely time here with friends and wine and saw a lot of cute dogs walking down the street and into the place. read more

One of our favorite downtown spots. Hosts are so knowledgeable and down to earth, always with great recommendations. Great space for a casual dinner with pizza or Thali and delicious wine pairing read more

Archive Wine + Beer is one of my favorite places in town, because it's so friendly but also knowledgeable in a wonderfully unpretentious way. It feels like one of those places where you're known and that your preferences are important while you're trying wines you wouldn't get just anywhere. The owner is one of those people who knows his wines, and he only hires people who are at the same level. You'll always find something you like, and if you're eating at West Street Market, they'll find something to pair with it. The atmosphere is inviting and easy: I always feel more relaxed right when I sit down and chat a bit. If you can, get on the mailing list for events. The Italian tasting last August was fantastic, as was the surprisingly excellent potato chip pairing. read more

What's not to love? Wine, friendly atmosphere and a short skip and a jump from home (ah the perks of living downtown) I have been coming here for years with various owners/managers and signage. This one really hits all the marks. Steve is knowledgable, personable, and really non-snobby and helpful in matching your tastes and preferences with the HUGE selection of wines he has in stock. I really like that he specializes in small vineyard wines from all over the world. It is a great opportunity to try some varietals that are not as familiar - so really gives you the opportunity to move beyond your regular Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or Rosé. It is a friendly spot to come in for just a glass or two, to get a bottle to have with the amazing food from Thali or Pizza Collective, or to get a bottle to go to drink in the privacy of your own home. Highly recommended! read more

Literally the best service. I always feel soooo welcome!!! I never know what I want but I give them a little bit of of direction and they alway give me something I love!!! The wine is delicious. It is always so cute in there! read more

I was amazed by Steve, the bartender. I went to buy a bottle of wine while my husband waited outside in the car. Steve asked me what kind of wine I wanted and how much I wanted to spend. I picked a white and he pulled out four wines from the fridge. He then proceeded to explain each wine to me. I chose a wine from Mount Vesuvius area. He then asked if I was staying in a hotel. When I told him I was in a hotel he offered to open the bottle for me. I really appreciated his knowledgeable and friendly service. I will definitely be back. read more

Definitely stop here. We were in town for a quick visit and I entered "wine bar" into yelp and this was one of the top picks. The wine selection is better than we've seen at most places, selections from Slovenia, Germany, all the way to California. We asked for a recommendation and loved the Pinot Eric chose for us. We loved it so much we also bought a bottle to go. The atmosphere is very chill and the bar is attached to a handful of restaurants ranging from Mexican, Greek and Pizza, all of which will deliver to you in the wine bar. I can't say enough good things about this place, just go check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

This is my spot. Love the vibe. The market next door has lots of awesome food options when open. Steve is the best! He knows his wine, I get swept away into such interesting conversations about wine with him! You can tell him what you're in the mood for and he will pick a wine just for your palette! You can see his passion about his business and community. AND a lot of the stock is actually natural wines! HUGE PLUS. Spend your money here and support an awesome local wine bar. read more

Awesome place to stop for some wine. I only saw 1 name I recognized. I shared a bottle of Morgan Chardonnay with a friend and it was very good! I'll definitely go back. Nice little place to spend sometime and have a chat or just meet new people. read more

Great location and atmosphere, and even better if you're planning to eat at West Street Market! You can order wine from here to enjoy with your meal from any one of the restaurants. Erik provides excellent recommendations based on what you're eating and your price range. He's never let me down and his recommendations are one of the main reasons we go back to Archive for wine over and over again. Erik even takes the extra step to provide the correct wine glass for each bottle of wine or glass of wine he pours--even when they require different glasses. Totally recommend if you're in the area or eating at West Street Market. read more

What's not 5-star about a wine (ok & beer) bar/bottle shop between where I work and where I live? Thanks to COVID the hours are flexible. Call and double check before you go out. Contrary to some websites they are open. They have a nice mix of wines by the glass and by the bottle. Glasses can get spendy so opt for the bottle and you can get a doggy bag if you can't finish. Yes the place is small but since they are in the West Street Market you can sit in the common area or outside if the weather is fair. Currently, thanks to Covid they are spaced out and they cleaned in between costumers. Also just wear the mask till the wine is served. No need to give people a hard time about it they're just trying to stay open!!! They have a beer selection but I don't know from beer. If you get peckish you can order from Nom, Pizza Collective or Thali. Just put on your mask. Walk over to any counter. Order. Pay. And they will deliver to the wine bar. The guy behind the bar (sorry I've known him for years but I forget his name) is formerly from Sterling's so he knows his wine and delivers great service. You can also grab and go a bottle of you don't want to sit at the bar. read more

Great cosy wine bar in the middle of downtown Reno. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and down to earth when describing the wines wether you're a connaisseur or a rookie. We ordered the 2017 Les Pallieres Gigondas. $48. Great price for such a delicious and complex wine. It's basically a "cheaper" châteauneuf-du-pape. We took the bottle outside and ordered a pizza. Cherry on the cake even after paying and going outside Steve took the time to come check on us. THAT is service and THAT is caring. Thanks Steve. We will be back! read more

We stopped by the market to go to Thalis. While waiting for a chai, we decided to venture into Archive Wine and Bar. It was so fun! I ordered a half glass of who knows what and it was phenomenal. I told the extremely knowledgeable server what I generally like and he chose a red and was spot on. I wish they offered wine tastings (paid of course). With such a vast selection and expert staff, this would be awesome. Either way, I highly recommend stopping by. read more

A totally awesome wine bar with so many interesting and well chosen bottles for under $30. Buy a bottle, have a glass, and take the rest home! Eric and Steve always have great advice, and you can't go wrong ordering off their extensive, curated list. read more

Intimate setting in the middle of a rather busy food co-op. They have a great variety of wine, beer and cider with cozy tables and a bar space. The pricing is reasonable and it's rather trendy in the heart of downtown read more

Love this wine bar. Great wine selection - we usually get a bottle to share and order food from one of the neighboring restaurants (they will deliver it to the wine bar). Great service and knowledgeable staff! read more

This is the 3rd owner for this location since I've been coming here. It is better than before. They have a good by the glass selection and an even better by the bottle selection. They buy from small distributors with an interesting selection that you won't always find in the big stores. You can open your bottle there or take it home. If you are two or more people in a group getting a bottle is a good deal. I've found the staff to be friendly and knowleable. The ower has been in the wine business for a long time so he knows what he is doing. This is one of the few places that I like go downtown. read more

Archive Wine + Beer - Wine from Beaujolais - Wineries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

If you're a wine geek like me, or even someone just getting into wine, this is an awesome place. They have stuff you've tried before, but also a lot of off-the-beaten-path stuff for the adventurous (scuppernong anyone?). They have more wines by the glass (domestic and international) than pretty much any other wine bar I've been to, and I'm not talking just Reno. Steve and Amy are both a wealth of knowledge (they are/ used to be wine reps) and will gladly go down the wine rabbit hole with you and discuss the finer points of oak vs. concrete or the true meaning of Mile's soliloquy from "Sideways". Great beer list and they always have some tasty bottles reduced in price on their "last chance" list. If you're a wino in Reno, check them out! read more

My favorite hangout spot. There is always something new to try and I get to learn about so many different wines. Steve the owner and Erik are so knowledgeable and know exactly what to recommend. I love coming here and grabbing a bite to eat from the market. You can bring your food from the food hall into the wine bar for a nice ambiance and music. I have made some great friends with the recurring regulars and this place always feels like home. :-) read more

Awesome selection. Super knowledgeable staff to help navigate choices. Reasonable prices.

I just love the entire concept of this West Street market and Archive fits in nicely with the rest. I attended a wine tasting event for some lovely wines imported from France. the charge was $20 for the tasting but that $20 went towards the purchase of a bottle if you decided to buy one at the end of the event. My friend and I sat at the bar and enjoyed catching up and trying six different wines over about two and a half hours. The employees serving the wine took their time with everyone attending and explained what made each wine so unique from the next. I did end up purchasing a slightly nicer than my normal wine and look forward to opening it at some future special occasion. While I can't comment on the quality or quantity of their wines, as I never saw a regular menu of any sort, I can say that it was an enjoyable experience and I'll make sure to at minimum pick up a bottle to uncork and accompany my meal when in the market's area in the future. read more

Archive Wine + Beer - Special tasting event menu - Wineries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We went here last night on a whim and it was a good choice indeed! The owner is so friendly and helped us with our choices. We told him the kind of wine we liked and he brought out something even better. You can buy a bottle or you can just have a glass. We went on a Sunday so your glass selection is limited on what he has opened for the week thus far. Because of this we didn't really know what we were paying, but we ended up with two (very heavily poured) glasses and a whole bottle for about $40! So it was definitely affordable and we got to take some home for later. It's a very small and intimate place. I wouldn't recommend it for a large group. You can also have any food you'd like from inside West street Market. I saw customers set their table numbers from the restaurants at the bar with them and get food delivered to them and they enjoyed wine and pizza right there. Definitely good to know for a future trip. read more

The wine selection was very good and the service was excellent. You can get a wide variety of delicious foods steps away and served right at your table. Eric was a knowledgeable wine guide that helped us pick the perfect match for our meal. read more

Stumbled on this place on an overnight in Reno. Eric, who was behind the bar, was extremely knowledgeable about wine. I am planning a trip to Germany, and he pulled out a few wines to explain what to look for and varietals to try. I enjoyed a nice red wine from Portugal and an Italian wine which was almost like red / rose. I also had a pizza from the place next door which was delicious (crust slightly undercooked). read more

My friend and I went there for the first time last night and will definitely be back! They had an amazing selection, and the person behind the bar was very skilled at helping us pick out a bottle. It is great to know that they have other options for people who don't prefer wine. There are a lot of restaurants around, and you can order food and eat it in the bar. All in all we had an amazing experience! read more
