    Ceol Irish Pub never disappoints. The music and the atmosphere and the staff.. Always on point, thanks Ron! #HappyStPatricksDay

    Great spot with great service and tap selection and.... the only place I found Kilkenny on tap!

    Went here on a Saturday night and it was happening! There was a live band playing and it was a a good time with a great Irish pub vibe. People were singing along to the classic covers being played, some were playing uno with friends, darts with a date and others just having a good ol time! The drinks are amazing and I tried the hazelnut Irish coffee (totally recommend) and the one with grand manier, it was good too! They do have popcorn, but this is such a great place to go after a dinner! Bring your friends and have a great time! The staff was super fabulous as well! Always making people feel welcomed!

    I have dropped by Ceol a few times in the last month and I can see it being a regular spot to get a drink, hang with friends, and listen to some live music. The place can get packed and having a conversation is probably not on the agenda unless you plan on shouting, which a lot of people do. The staff is so friendly and stop to chat with you as they make their way from table to table. Parking is only on the street and I usually end up walking a block or two. My favorite seasonal drink is the hot apple pie.

    This is another one of my top 5 bars if not my #1 bar in Reno. The atmosphere here the absolute best, Ron the owner and all his staff actually care about everyone and we come here at least a few times a month to hang out. This is the place we come to relax and enjoy our time. We legitimately even went to the Guinness factory in Dublin Ireland to get our Guinness pour certs to get hung in the bar. Another time I lost my corset in the parking lot and one of the staff remembered me and I got it back another day. This place is such a community, best drinks and best people I cannot emphasize enough. EVERYONE NEEDS TO COME HERE!!! BEST BAR IN RENO!!!

    Not one person here knew the "whiskey and water" quote form The Quiet Man! ONE STAR!!! But seriously, Ceol is always a joy to visit. Be it for a pint of the black stuff, or whatever other suitably Celtic libation you could be fancying. This is their new location, having moved a few blocks from the older spot, and it is certainly good to have them back. The bar still has a sort of small, cozy setting, but with a few new front and back patio areas, and set back a bit from the busy street, with the interior festooned with Irish flags and paraphernalia, a few bar games scattered about, and a stage for hosting the rotation of musicians who pass through. The tap list has all the staples you could want. Guinness, of course, is always a main attraction. But in case you don't want to wait a few minutes for a properly-poured-pint, the tap list includes things like Harp, Smithwick's, and several domestic and local brews. But these guys also shine in the rest of their bar menu. A superb selection of whiskey's, but that goes without saying. Wine, ciders, spirits, as well as cocktails and house specialties. I would highly recommend trying the Ceol Coffee, which is perfect on a nice chilly evening. Or if you want something sweeter, a small glass of Irish Mist is quite pleasant to sip on, if I do say so myself. I also need to tip my hat to the staff, who constantly provide very friendly, prompt, attentive service each time I swing through. Especially this past weekend, having visited on St. Patrick's Day. As you can imagine, this was one of the epicenters for green-garbed celebrations here in Reno, and the crew were doing a real bang-up job handling orders and managing the crowds. As for a few last odds and ends: Prices for everything are on par with most other pubs here in town, and there's a nice happy hour. No food options, except the popcorn machine. Parking is limited to only three spaces out front, but the surrounding neighborhoods have usually plenty of street spaces. And I would be remiss if I didn't make mention of their Beer Truck, too. In my opinion, they run the best beverage wagon in the city, though only in operation during summer food truck events or other such occasions. Not the biggest selection of drinks, though with a few beers along with usually some wine and cider, they nevertheless really excel in serving them up fast and keeping the line moving. Definitely seek them out this summer. All in all, it is easy to see why so many folks have such fond opinions of Ceol. For sure top marks all around, and will always look forward to heading back down for a pint and wee dram.

    Ceol has moved! It's no longer on S Virginia; it's now on California, between Lander and Creek, quite close to Arlington. The bar is set back from the road, with a small parking lot with room for four cars in front. There's lots of street parking in that area as well as another small lot that you access from Lander. I prefer the new space to the old space: it's larger and more open. The bar area looks classic deep wood. There's lots of seating inside as well as outside in the front and back areas for when the weather is nice. Quiet dogs are permitted in the bar. Ceol regularly changes their special mixed drink offerings, which are enticing. Yes, I would like a warm wintry beverage with lots of liquor and cream! There is also an ample beer and wine menu. Friends with varied tastes can drink happily together here. I am part of a running club that meets here on the 5th Wednesdays of the month in the evening, and I am so impressed with the service. We descend on the bar all at once after our run, but they slang those drink orders quickly. In my experience, the bartenders monitor the tables for empties and proactively stop by the tables to ask if patrons would like another round. When you're deep in group conversation but folks want more, this level of service is so appreciated. They will even cash you out and bring the credit card reader to the table! I am so glad to see Ceol thriving in this new instantiation. Highly recommend this gem that folks might overlook because the exterior is so unassuming.

    Wonderful stop for after-dinner drinks. They have an awesome selection of whisky, draft beers and warm drinks. I recommend the Irish coffee and hot mctoddy.

    It was busy tonight and good to see. We dropped in during happy hour, 4-6 everyday they are open and enjoyed a couple beers and a little whiskey. The service was friendly, the crowd lively and the beer selection very good. Haven't seen a Odell's 90 schilling amber on draft in these part before. They are still waiting on permits to have live music, but hopefully that will happen soon.

    Ask the Community - Ceol Irish Pub

    Is there smoking inside and is the football game available to watch on Sunday?

    Ceol is a non-smoking bar but there is a convenient smoking area out back. The focus is nore live music and local gathering place so not a football kind of place.

The Onion Rings were tempura style fresh made in house...no frozen bag crap here. For my husband they were a hair on the doughy side but they weren't greasy at all which a totally appreciate. The Garlic bread was tasty having a hard Toasted cheese top with the gooey cheese underneath and the flavor was spot on.

You can't go to a tavern and not try one of the drafts...that would just be wrong. Hubby had the Prime Rib sandwich thought it was tasty with the chimiruri sauce and provolone cheese. I had the Meatloaf melt. It was the bomb. Tons of grilled onions a total mess to eat but so worth it...just make sure to ask for extra napkins.

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!
