A bar that's tucked away from busy areas? Check? Pool and games? Check. Fun seating and room to spread out? Check again. Clean bathrooms? CHECK! On a Saturday night, this place was a little busy, mostly from our large (~15 people) party that we brought with us. It was an easy place to hang out for the rest of the night. I really enjoyed the table seating that they have in the middle of the bar, that separates the bar from the tables and pool area. Entertainment: Pool, shuffleboard, darts, a jukebox that you can play music from your phone, and I think I remember seeing gambling machines at the bar? Drink Selection: There was the usual selection of beers on tap. I like Guinness but it wasn't available on tap, no big deal for me though. Vibes: Essentially a dive bar, Chewy's has a relaxed and casual setting, where it's easy to hang out with friends. There's plenty of seating options available; at the bar, some small booths, the high tables near the pool, and table seating on both sides in front of the door. Food: They do serve food, but I wasn't hungry to try anything. Also, with Blind Onion nearby, no one's going hungry here. Some previous reviews mention having good wings? Bathrooms: I had to mention this cause it was so bizarre. The women's bathroom, and only the women's have SUPER high toilets. I consider myself to be tall to average for height, and I had to lift myself up to try to sit on the toilet seat lol. Thankfully everything was clean. Overall, a fun and easy place to meet up with folks. read more

Best burger in Reno, bar none. Best service, great chef in Juan. Brie and Natalie are the bomb!!! Ambiance is awesome. Hasn't changed since opening in 1992, but it didn't need to. read more

3/19/26 I had the French dip; it was dry, tasteless, and expensive. Service was mediocre. The ambiance was dark

I was nearby and stopped in for lunch the other day. I was craving a grilled chicken sandwich, so I ordered one to go with fries. The bartender working on Thursday was amazing, I did not catch her name. I killed time at the bar and tested my luck on keno. This sandwich was served on French bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Next time, I'll order it on the side. The fries were amazing and served hot. I had a handful and threw the rest out. I didn't want to eat them all; I easily could have. It's a bar with a grill, some slots, and a few games to play for non gamblers. Although my sandwich had too much mayo, it hit the spot. I've always had great service and enjoyed the grill here. read more

Chewy and Jug's - Grilled chix sandwich - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

What a nice change from the gentrified bars you see in the area. This is definitely a local's place. It's fairly bare bones but that's exactly what I'm seeking. The staff is very friendly. The only thing I'd change is for them to update their booths. Some of the seats are broken or uncomfortable. The food is solid and reasonably inexpensive in this economy. This is a dive and I mean that in the nicest way possible. read more

Nothing has changed about this place in the 27 years I've been dining and drinking here. It's the same amazing cook and his brother (let them decide which I'm talking about), the same pool table, the same shuffle board table, and the same beautiful people. The food is as good as when I was a kid, the beers shuffle as well but still have they still have the same Sierra Nevada Pale as my dad used to drink. The company is always cheerful, the bartenders for the last ten years at least, are largely the same: invariably a delight. The only new addition they have made is a capable and congruent bartender named Bri who whirls about with ease. This is Reno then and now: charming, friendly, and special. Also: bizarre, strange, and unique. I've loved and love it here. PS- The only thing missing as of now is Big Buck Hunter. read more

Went this weekend to meet up with friends my boyfriend got a cheese burger and said it was so delicious, said it was one of the best home style burgers he's had and will go back to get it again Great place to hang out have drinks and food read more

Great place to go during the day and have been a customer for 15 years! However, be prepared for the night shift and total rudeness by the bartenders. I literally spent $400 there and the service was terrible. Bartenders (white male) acted like I was not even there. I was kind and curious and was tipping very well. I don't know what happened to this place, it used to be amazing! They lost a great customer and I will never r return. read more

Okay-so this is a dive bar, but it's a clean dive bar with the best wings in Northwest Reno! It's located in an inconspicuous strip mall with various restaurants and stores. It's a full bar with a small selection of draft beers-but I come here for the wings! You can choose the spice level and they taste freshly made-not frozen. They don't have a ton of breading on them-which I hate! Perfect amount of crispy and mix of drums and flats. They were playing 80's hard rock-my favorite and I had to control myself not to stand up and start rocking out! read more

Chewy and Jug's - Blue moon - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Usually the burgers are great! We ordered 3. 2 of them were great and like normal. The other one was tiny, overcooked, and not like usual. I have no doubt it was fluke. read more

Always a good time at Chewy's! I recommend the Cheesesteak beef Philly and adding a side of au jus. The sandwich is served on delicious bread and is big enough to split between two people! This is definitely a local bar with a 90s style to it so if you're looking for a fun place to relax and have a beer it's a great go-to! read more

I really like this place. It is a local neighborhood bar with great food and the people are usually pretty cool. Outside screams strip mall. Inside is classic with pool tables, jukeboxes, and a shuffleboard. My family comes once a week. I love the club sandwich. My family gets their burgers, which I am told the patties are made fresh (never frozen) daily. Good value and flavor on the food. read more

I love this bar and grill the food is great and so are the bar tenders I recommend you give this place a try.

During Covid I've been very hesitant to go out and eat/ get drinks, but I decided to get some hot wings. As always, these wings are very good and have a good flavor! The takeout always has delicious ranch and some veggies. The only thing I would change would be to add some more sauce and make the wings less dry. Overall, I would recommend enjoying some good wings here! The Covid guidelines were being followed which was reassuring. read more

Chewy and Jug's - Hot wings - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The only problem with this place is the female bartenders let their dirtbag friends in. And the dirtbags just take up space, don't socialize or gamble. Don't think Andy would approve. read more

Always enjoy Chewys after a long day. Good food good drinks and a real welcoming atmosphere.

I came here after work to chill and have a beer and bar food. The chicken wings are $11.99. Their were 8 wings and one was decapitated. When I said something to the bartender here is her. Comment...'I'm off work so I don't care about the world. My mom, dad & boyfriend are at the bar waiting for me.' Great customer service!! Then she sucks face with her man from across the bar. Never again! She needs to find a different job! Your fired! read more

This is honestly my favorite place in Reno to drink and hangout with the buddies, Josh is probably the best bartender in Reno and always keeps the place nice and clean. The prices here and absolutely awesome. Overall it's a great little hangout place with great music. read more

I enjoy this place. Like coming on Sundays the bartenders are brothers and way cool. Love the happy hour deals as well.

We had a great visit when Chewy and Jugs hosted our friends' wedding. The hosts set everything up well, and the evening was well orchestrated. I'm not into the bar scene but I liked how classy they made the wedding. It seems like a good place for a drink and some grub. read more

Fellas, this ain't a dive bar. For a detailed description on what a dive bar is please read my review on another mislabeled establishment. http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-polo-lounge-reno#hrid:MUcA8HZNolgOlgMr-1iRQg/src:self What makes me want to go out and drink, other than dealing with people all day long, is to experience a good bartender at their craft. I appreciate someone who takes pride in what they do. I think all the bartenders here are tip top. They keep track of your gamling, so if you're firing at the bonus poker you can get your drinks comped. Their dry rub chicken wings are the best! read more

The food is just your typical bar food. The comps on gaming really suck. I hit 2 natural 4 of a kind and did not receive any free spins like you would any where else. I spent $200. The bartender did try to help me but no response from owner. I will not be going back. I will spend my money where the food is better and comps are better. I might in the long run break even, but at least I had fun doing it. read more

The folks here are just the greatest people, love spending time here drinking a few beers and enjoying their company and a few laughs. The owner is a super good guy married to an incredibly warm and sweet lady. All the bartenders are funny, wicked smaht (remember the accent is required when reading that) really enjoy these people and this place. read more

Chewy and jugs has the best burgers in town they have exceptional taste their cooked just right the cheese is phenomenal the bacon on the peppered bacon and it's wonderful I recommend this place to anybody who wants a phenomenal cheeseburger read more

Yeah.... went there around dinner time to check it out. There was one bartender, one dude in the kitchen and five extremely drunk people climbing (literally) all over the bar. Bad country music on the jukebox. I ordered a chicken sandwich. The menu said it would be a "generous" hunk of meat. When I got it, it was a soggy roll with a teensy-tiny little piece of half-burned chicken on it. By "tiny" I mean it was less than two ounces. Almost nonexistent. How the cook thought that qualified as a chicken breast, I have no idea. Totally not going back there again. Maybe it's a good place to go get tanked at 4pm, but if you want to eat a decent burger and drink some beer without having to listen to drunk people screaming over bad music, go to Brickie's. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! Come get to know the bartenders and become part of the chewy family. Everyone is so real, loving, and awesome. Food is good. Beer is great. read more

Chewy and Jug's - Andy is cooking!!! So good! - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I love Chewy and Jug's. I've been going there since the early 90's. Decent food and cold drinks. The main problem with the place now is that the bartender is a complete asshole. I won't go into details but had we been outside and he talked to me and my girlfriend the way he did tonight I definitely would have kicked his ass. What a rude asshole. I won't be back until he and his twin brother no longer work there. Super disappointed. read more

I've been coming here off and on for years. And you really have to be a regular to get any sort of service. We walked in, and sat down at the bar in front of some slot machines. I would say we sat there for about 5 to 8 minutes before the bar tender asked us what we would like to drink. We got 2 glasses of wine, and proceeded to gamble a bit. There was a shift change between the bar tenders. When the new one came on, he asked if we were good on drinks to which we said that we would need a refill very soon, and then asked for a menu. The bar tender brought the menu over, and went to the other patrons at the bar. I would say there were probably 8 people total in the bar. Then both bar tenders (the one getting off shift and the one getting on shift) go outside to smoke. Now, at this point we've been without drinks for a good 10 minutes, and have not given our food order. The bar tenders took their time outside smoking. It was probably 15 minutes by the time we were empty, to the time the bar tender gave us a refill. Then he came back for our order. I had a Ranch Chicken Sandwich. This comes with ranch, chicken, poblano chiles, and I'm pretty sure provolone cheese and a side of sweet potato fries. Side note I ordered this with out a bun as I don't eat bread. Emily ordered a Chef's salad. About 15 to 20 minutes later my food came up, regular fries which the bar tender said the chef messed that up and is making sweet potato fries for me. Now, here's my biggest issue with 80% of the restaurants that I go to. It seems that chefs/cooks don't know what to do with sauce when a sandwich or burger is ordered without bread. So they just choose to eliminate this. Hi, I still want the sauce. Lather it on the piece of meat. Needless to say there was no ranch on my ranch chicken sandwich, nor was there any cheese. I still ate it and it was still good. Luckily I had ordered a side of ranch for my fries. So I sat there waiting to eat as Emily had not received her salad. Of course she told me to eat as my food was warm and hers would be cold. I begin eating and we hear one of the bar tenders say "it's a chef salad, make it a chef". To which we know it's going to end up being longer for her to get her food. I was pretty much done with my meal by the time her salad came out. Which is crazy as nothing had to be cooked. And there were still only about 4 other people in the bar besides us. It was not a busy night. The Chef Salad finally comes out, it had ice burg lettuce, some cut up deli ham, a sprinkle of cheese and a side of ranch. And croutons throughout the whole salad, completely mixed in. Emily is gluten intolerant, and can't eat croutons. There was no way she'd be able to pick them all out. And last time I checked croutons don't typically come on a chef salad. Needless to say, she was unable to eat it. The bar tender said there was a bit of a communication error with the cook, and asked if she wanted anything else, to which she said no. He didn't have us pay for the salad which was the right thing to do. At this time I just don't know that I'll be going back here. I really get the vibe that if you're not a regular they just don't seem to care about you. They would rather hang out with the people that come in there all the time, and would rather wait on them. I have money to spend and money to tip, but if you ignore me and get orders wrong I have no desire to tip you. It was a frustrating trip to say the least. read more

I doubt we'll be back. We've been here several times for drinks but this was our first crack at their "world famous burgers". I ordered the Out and In with cheese with onion rings instead of fries, Mr got the Western with fries. My burger was so small; like a mini hockey puck. The bun totally fell apart around it leaving me with a sloppy mass to try and navigate. I hate this more than anything! It doesn't matter how fresh, delicious, unique, etc. your ingredients are if it all falls apart while I'm trying to eat it. The Thousand Island was good (I think?) but it didn't matter as most of it, slathered all over the too big bun, ended up in a pile on my plate. A total fail. I thought that was especially odd because the patty for Mr's burger was clearly bigger, meeting the diameter of the bun. But he remarked that he wished it would've been smaller because it was awful...No flavor to the toppings or meat and one side of the patty was burnt. The onions in the onion rings were sliced so very thinly that we couldn't taste them at all. It was fried batter with half a string of onion to hold it together basically. I cracked one in half and the onion was seriously a hairs width, if that. Impressive knife skills for anything other than a battered onion ring. The Sysco fries were the best thing about our lunch...that really says it all. When we've been in the past for drinks we've had service ranging from the not friendly, not quite rude bare minimum (pour drink, take money, repeat) to the straight up rude (I'm trying to chat with the cute guy and make tips, quit bothering me for a refill). There are so many places to drink and eat in this town, these people will be just fine without our business. read more

Shit hole...the waiter Bri?..loud voice talking about inappropriate things....like bowel movement while we ate. Then another bartender walks in, his shift hasn't started but he's drinking and has his feet on the barstool. I was watching a game, she changed it because her co-worker wanted to watch another game. Putting a co-worker above a full paying customers choice. read more

Never. I mean NEVER go there to eat..... Over 2 hours for a hamburger! When told 3 times "well done" it came out raw.... Great little bar for drinking but never go there to eat! Will NEVER be back! Go for the pizza next door! read more

The beer was Chewy, and the burger should have been served in a Jug....too bad I thought the name was talking about the waitresses. Too bad there isn't a Hooter's near by (that I know of). read more

It's right next to the laundromat which is why we go. The food is good! However, the tap doesn't taste cleaned and the fact that you can taste it means it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. That is the only complaint I have, unfortunately it's a biggie though. It makes me question how not clean everything is behind the bar. read more

I've only eaten chicken wings but they were delicious. Place is not a dive bar some people consider more of a local bar with a host of characters. The bartenders are quick with the beer and friendly to boot . my wife inquired about a bartending job and got the stink eye from a skinny white chick who proceeded to tell us reno was a "good ol boy town" . my only neg comment about the joint . read more

Nate is awesome! He's professional, efficient, and good at his job.... We never had to ask for anything as he was right there anticipating our needs before we even realised we needed anything! read more

This is another place that my boyfriend and I go to while we do our laundry...And I always have a nice experience. The barteneder is really, really nice and cool and everytime we go in we get some sort of entertainment. tonight we got to watch a beligerient fool bully another poor guy. It was hilarious and we had a good time watching it. The drinks are totally full of alcohol and good priced! Good happy hour, good music. Its kind of trashy, but it has character for sure. I love going to a bar where you can have a good time and you don't have to pay much! I don't need a super nice enviornment to have fun, as long as I have good company! read more

This is such a great hidden hot spot. Hands down THE BEST club sandwich I've ever had. I crave this sandwich and its freshly thin sliced turkey on that fresh baked French bread. I was going there so often that I had to back off so they didn't think I was crazy go in so often. The customer service is great / I always feel welcome and have a good time here- wether it's for drinks or food! read more

Usually this place is pretty good, but the woman behind the bar this last time shortchanged me and walked off when confronted about it. Real bad for business. read more

3 guys at the bar, 2 guys at a table, so clearly not super busy. Saw us walk in, didn't say a word. Seated ourselves. Waited 10 minutes to get a menu tossed on the table, waited another 10 without even being asked if we wanted a drink. Walked out. Got the feeling we did not have the correct anatomy to get service. That's fine, I'll go to jack in the box for shitty service and keep my tip. read more

This review is for the burgers only. I have been there several times with the family. I have tried the out N in burger and the new york burger. Both were made to order, not over done, and had great seasonings. The only real downfall was that they overload the new york burger with way too many onions. Will definately be going back. read more
