Our bartender was the best! She was so nice and funny. The drinks were good and the food was delicious! We enjoyed our time here. The ambiance was great!

Bar food.  No happy hour on Saturday

Cin Cin is the cocktail bar outside of LaStrada Restaurant in the Eldorado which is now part of "The Row." The Eldorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus are all connected and now under one ownership. Cin Cin Happy Hour ... 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM Sunday to Friday. In addition to their Happy Hour Half Price Menu, you can also order of the menu for La Strada. Heather is a great bartender and service is alway great. Calamari is always perfect, although next time I order I'll hold the Aioli and just get extra marinara sauce for dipping. Half orders of their famous Mushroom Ravioli to die for. Plus more. Need a snack and a cocktail and not quite ready for a big dinner ... definitely try this out. You won't be sorry.

Family antipasto.

I've been here two times now. The first time was the private event for Yelpers, and this time I came back with a buddy to have him try the Dolce Picante Margarita that Annalisa makes with it's spanked basil. You see my buddy likes spicy and likes a good margarita...this drink puts both of those things together perfectly. In fact I might actually venture to say it's my all time favorite drink. It's really cool when the sweet hits, then the spicy heat comes in at the back of your mouth then finally the alcohol warmth smoothly finishes the experience. We arrived at just about 4:30 and ordered up our first round. This isn't a bar where they have bottled mixers in the back. The only corporate labels I saw were for alcohol and for Tres Agave sweetener for the tequila. For our second round we had the happy hour special $5 Blood Orange Margarita. It was good, not too sweet and of course still hand crafted. Next time I might start with this one because the "3D" experience of the Dolce Picante outshined this one. For food we had a Antipasto plate and the Clam & Mussel bowl. During Happy Hour they have half off of the bar bites menu. The antipasto plate was only well priced because of the Happy Hour special. If we would have paid the regular $24 for our plate we would have been not satisfied. However the clam & mussel bowl was spot on for a special price $8ish. In the "best clams in Reno" competition this one would come in a really tight second. The broth was spicy and flavorful and of course the mussels and clams were not chewy but were cooked right proper. The atmosphere is dark...and darker. Can't effectively use a phone annoyingly snap shots of my food and drink!! I know annoying, but lots of Yelpers like to check out the goods before they come all the way in to a place to eat. They have couches and high tops and low tops and of course the bar, all very comfy and classy. The wood here is good and even thought the space is open to the general casino area there was no noticeable bleed of smoke or noise into this bar. I'm not a bar guy, I don't really like going out and spending 2000% more for a drink than I can make at home. But this bar is truly the exception to that rule. The staff both times I have been have been really good. Annalisa of course is excellent and is the reason I came back. Her knowledge of drinks and her style of mixing is the style I have liked the best. Her team is friendly and know their stuff as well. I hope they can continue to get the great staff as they increase in business. So next time you are downtown and want a nice happy hour or just a nice hand crafted drink. Head here, I promise you wont be disappointed.

Quiet, don't have to yell. Usually lots of seating. Fun drinks, can make lots of different cocktails off the menu

A first rate watering oasis in the middle of the downtown concrete jungle. Cin Cin is located on the second floor of the El Dorado Hotel and Casino on South Virginia St. Their happy hour is the best I have found to date in the Reno/Sparks area. Great ambiance, usually quiet, a bar and tables located by La Strada, the signature restaurant at the El Dorado. In addition to the Happy Hour Menu, they usually have a couple of other specials. My wife and I had 2 glasses of wine each, we shared a Ceasar salad, a small spicy pizza and a plate of fried calamari. Delicioso! Tab was less than $50. They have a great bar tender and waiter/waitresses to serve your needs. Extremely friendly staff wanting to accommodate your needs. .First class place with first class food. Don't miss out!

Antipasti

Happy Hour 430-630PM EVERYDAY. 1/2 price on most drinks. 1/2 price on appetizers and salads. 1/2 orders of their (La Strada) famous mushroom raviolis are also available at Happy Hour. This might change in the near future. It's a dimly lit bar/lounge on the 2nd floor of the Eldorado. There is no smoking or gaming in this venue. The bar has plush high boy chairs perfect for cozy drinking and eating. There are several seating options sofas, club chairs and highboys. Two of the top bartenders in town work there: Ashley (I think) & Michael. Michael reminds me of an old time bartender -- friendly, efficient and occasionally cheeky. Leslie is queen of the herbs! She can make any drink you like even better with locally grown herbs. The food is from the La Strada menu. Some of my favorites are the Antipasti perfect amount of meats, cheese and olives; great for a quick snack or when I'm not sure what I want. The Mussels are always a good choice. BREAD BASKET....let me rephrase GARLIC BREAD BASKET!!!!!! The Beet Salad is lovely but I think it's seasonal. Always a good choice when on the menu. It's a bit like Cheers for me as at first I wasn't sure if Ashley recognized us but then she asked, "Where have you ladies been?" Always a good time. Monday is industry night. Fridays & Saturdays can get nutty with huge crowds.

A gin, basil, and ginger martini

Can't speak to the food since I didn't order any but the cocktails were great. No menu but tell the bartender what you like and they can offer up something that fits the bill. The only miss during my time there while waiting on family and friends was the one where I asked for a specific liqueur that struck my fancy and it did not taste anything like what it was supposed to. Not a problem with the bartender but a problem with the liqueur itself. Definitely try out the happy hour for great prices on drinks and appetizers.

Tequila cocktails made by the wonderful Annalisa!

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.

Update: I'm changing my review to five stars after the owner of 1864 Tavern personally reached out…read moreabout my experience. I really appreciate the follow-up--it shows that customer feedback matters and that they care about making things right. First impressions are important, and so is how a business responds afterward. I live in Southern California, but I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in Reno. Thank you for taking the time to reach out!

If you head to the other section, you can actually browse through the records and check out the vinyl player. I didn't see anyone listening to music while we were there, but maybe I'll do that next time. Someone also told me they serve coffee and tea too, so I'd love to try that on another visit. As for the bar itself, everyone was super friendly and the drinks were really good. I stuck to mocktails this time, but there are definitely a few others on the menu I want to try next time. It was pretty busy for a Saturday, but it still maintained a really chill vibe. I highly recommend it!

This time last year EP was on the Yelp Food Walk…read more So I was past due to circle back and rediscover it when it wasn't flooded with event goers. An interesting combination of coffee shop, bar, and vinyl lounge, EP is located on Wells Avenue. Took a break from checking out other neighborhood shops to sit and enjoy an afternoon cocktail with friends. Plenty of various comfy seating areas and about six spots at the bar. I tried the Float On, a boozy adult root beer float using local gelato from Bibo. It's a coffee shop, so my friend sipped the 9 to 5, their version of an espresso martini. The Soul Sipper, a beautiful orange colored cocktail was similar to an Aperol Spritzer. Located on the corner of Wells and Vassar, there's a little more street parking available.

My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

I'm battling this review. I battle rating it for the drinks/ambiance versus the service. The good:…read moreabsolutely the cutest vibe and decor. Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

We had such a great time last night celebrating my best friends birthday. He had never been to…read moreHookava before. He loved it and had a blast throughout the whole thing! The DJ was so awesome and was playing some very nostalgic mixes that brought back great memories. We've had so many amazing flavor combinations of Sheesha from Hookava, but we had to go with Gummy Worm this time. It has always been a favorite, and it's a good first introduction to Hookah for those who haven't tried it yet. Another favorite flavor is Blueberry Muffin, and also Spiced Chai by Fumari. Also I highly suggest getting an ice tip for a more smooth and cooling sensation while smoking. Every Tuesday is free ice tip day, otherwise $5 regularly which, is still very worth it. The incredibly fun and unique staff have always been phenomenal in so many ways. They are wicked fast in everything they do, and deeply knowledgeable in giving recommendations for flavor combos and drinks. Definitely my number one for Hookah in Reno. Go any time, It is both fun and relaxing

This place was a chill Vibe. It was kind of difficult to get to with all the construction happening…read moreover that way. But once we got inside we greeted and the staff was really nice. We don't actually smoke hookah but we just were curious to see what's inside. They didn't mind at all. There was even a mocktail menu. I would recommend coming here again
