I swear Craft continues to shock me with it's selection, specifically rum. I was absolutely blown away to see that they are now carrying HAMILTON LOST VOYAGE!!!! I have paid a pretty penny in shipping specifically to get this Strongwater original in my house, and it has never existed outside of a few merchants in Orange County. BRAVO CRAFT! In that same visit I see a new range that wasn't even listed on the website.... Worthy Park... literally the same day when I was going to get back home and order these from Southern California. Absolutely spectacular selection for a shop over in Reno, NV.... The icing on the cake for this visit to craft... HAMPDEN PAGOS!!! I drove straight home, pulled out my finest Glencairn and savored every moment of joy from finding this bottle locally.. I'll be back soon to share a beer with you and talk about how the h*** you manage to have such a legendary selection....
Craft Wine and Beer has quickly become our go-to spot! They have the best selection of everything--especially specialty rums and hard-to-find mixers. If you can't find something anywhere else, this is definitely the place to check. The store is incredibly well-organized, making it easy to browse and find exactly what you need. The staff are always friendly and eager to help you track down anything you're looking for. Plus, they have a bar with beer on tap and a large wine selection. Plenty of seating indoors and several tables outdoors to enjoy a drink in the sunshine. Highly recommend stopping by whether you're looking for something unique or just want to enjoy a drink on-site!
Today's forecast: sunny with a 100% chance of beer, liquor, cider, wine, spirits, etc. because: Wine pairs well with whole grain Raisin Bran. Shakespeare wrote: "Give me a bowl of wine, In this I bury all unkindness." I cook with liquor, wine or beer; sometimes I even add it to the food. Young cousins called to rave to us about this place they had discovered describing it as a "groovy spirits and fermented store with seating". Being the adventurer that I am as I love everything that is old; old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old music, old wine, old liquor, old Reno which is what Midtown is which is where Craft is located, I said, heck yes let's visit. Cousins then quickly arrived, we all hopped aboard the public bus (the ONLY way too travel) and off we all went for a visit. Verisimilitude. Not a word that trips lightly off the tongue. Nor should it. Yet it is the word for here. Hooking you with the atmosphere and captivating you at first sip.

No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business I rate Craft 3 stars. According to Yelp ratings' definitions, that's "Ok". That to me is an acceptable rating of something that does day in and day out what it is there to do. It's NOT a negative review because doing day in and day out what it is there to do is NOT an easy thing to accomplish. The definition of craft is something that was made with skill. For a business that does so much so well, I am shocked and distressed they failed in a very crucial area. CONS I would have rated 'em higher if they have a Military / Veterans Discount. I say to those who fail to have a Military / Veterans Discount: Freedom isn't free. Like your Freedom? Then have a daily publicly disclosed Military / Veterans Discount as a thank you to GIs and we Veterans for it provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. For we paid not only our price owed for our Freedom, we also paid the price owed for the Freedom of those who couldn't Serve and those who refused to Serve. I won't be back as I don't support any business that doesn't support our GIs or we Veterans because a little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. -- Eeyore P.S. Don't message me because in spite of my several complaints to yelp, for years now I am unable to open up any messages in yelp to me :-(
I love to go to Craft for gifts! The selection is so vast and exciting. It's also such a cute vibe to hang out with friends; they carry something for everyone. This was my first time buying a N/A item from them and it was SO GOOD. The employees are super knowledgeable and helpful. This place is such a Reno staple
There's cheap rum and expensive rum. Then there's rum from well known rum producing places like Barbados, Cuba and Jamaica and rum from lesser known regions like Guyana. Then there's rum from lesser known countries that's produced in the traditional fashion with obscure and wild additions, like mushroom infused rum from... Mexico? Yep. And you can find all of it here at Craft, and that's exactly what makes this the best place to shop for spirits! From beer and wine to whiskey, agave spirits, amaros, vermouths and even non-alcoholic options and snacks from around the globe, that ethos pervades the array of products you'll find at Craft and the staff knows about it all and is always happy to share with you. If you love spirits and you're not visiting here regularly, you are truly missing out. If you are remotely curious about anything in the realm of beer, wine or spirits, you owe it to yourself to stop by.
Amazing place very family friendly Joey and Brit are phenomenal and very service minded. Their knowledge of beer and wine and recommendations are very helpful! There's a room in the back that can be rented for special occasions with additional seating outside in the front. Parking is a pinch but well worth the effort.
I had always known about Craft but had never had the opportunity to check it out. I saw they had a special loteria event the Sunday right before Cinco de Mayo. They were offering tamales, paletas and $5 for a loteria board. I made it right on time and there were people trickling into the event room in the back. I was warmly greeted by the host and explained where to go to get set up. It got a bit confusing in terms of knowing how many boards to buy per round and ended up overpaying when everyone else was able to use the same boards for multiple rounds. The tamales were so so good, and the overall crowd was a good vibe and great prizes. During the break I ventured to the front of the store and saw how busy it was in seating, the bar area, and just overall purchases of goods. I had a great time, and ended up leaving with buying some of the fancy kettle pickled chips which I have yet to try. I'll keep an eye for more upcoming things.
A special local place . Great walk in fridge filled w local and exotic cold drinks. Solid selection of wine, spirits and all the additional materials you need to craft high end cocktails. Approachable bar w friendly staff. Try the sake jelly ! Super fun . Outdoor patio and easy steer parking.
Craft is a hidden gem! I had never heard of it and happened to walk by when we had friends in town and we decided to pop in. The employee working was super nice and helped us find everything we needed. They have a great beer and wine selection for purchase, and you can also order to have a drink there. We were able to pick up food from another local spot, and bring it in to enjoy with our drinks. It's very aesthetically pleasing inside. There is also a selection of snacks, pickled goods, etc. our friends were also very impressed and we were glad we got to pop in while they were in town, we will definitely be back!
Strolled into this VERY COOL joint just off Virginia St. in midtown. WOW! What a pleasant surprise. They have just about everything that you can't find anywhere else's when it comes to spirits. They carry a lot of wine as well but since I'm kind of out of the wine world these days I can't comment on their offerings. Beer wise they have 4 on tap and 4 wines by the glass as well (2 red, 2 white). The walk in cooler is stocked full of all sorts of goodies. From sake to sours, hefeweizens to non-alc, they have them all. Local beers and a large selection of German imports. I was like a kid in a candy store. Additionally, I happened to walk in when Jim Gaffigan was coming in to do a bottle signing of his new Fathertime Bourbon. Funny, as I'm attending his show at the GSR tonight too. read more

Must try place for a great wine selection and tequila. They also offer other types of alcohol. You can bring your food to pair the wine with! Love this; we love to bring our own charcuterie or pizza. They do charge a cork fee for wine bought and consumed. I would say seating is limited in the front and outdoor area, the back has quite a lot of seating but not as cute. Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

What a great, unique place to pick up specialty liquor! A friend got me a gift card here for my b-day which was probably the best place they could have done so at, as I was able to pick up a whiskey I had never even heard of before. That will definitely be a trick that I take to my friends in the future. The beer I got on tap was well enough, just a little sourer than I prefer, but nothing ventured and all that. The crew here all seem to be really passionate for their craft and I truly appreciate that. This is the place you stop by for a drink before dinner or heading out on the strip. read more

This was my first stop on the Yelp Whiskey Hunt, so the star for this visit was the flight of Aberlour scotch whiskeys. I didn't think I'd be a big fan of the scotch whiskey, but boy was it nice! But what about the wine and beer? We did try one Imbib Cream Ale which was on tap. They have three beers on tap and a few different wines you could try by the glass. The bottle shop portion, is largely international wines from Italy, France, etc. There is a large walk in cooler with many international beers (think Belgium, Germany, even Japan!) and a smaller section of local beers. You can grab a single and take it up to the bar and they open and pour and you can drink it there or you can buy a cold six pack or single to go. Cool concept. They also had a nice selection of liquors, also, many international liquors such as Pisco from Peru. I can't wait to go back and shop for the home bar! read more
There is all kinds of bottled beers and types of drinks to enjoy here on in and outdoor bench seatings. Love the cherry wine served in a stemmed shot glass. Wait, they sell all kind of bottled alcohols and I mean the special, odd-named super special kinds. Also, all kinds of drink embellishments and crackers. read more
Can't believe I've not reviewed Craft yet because it is my favorite liquor store in Reno. In my mind the owner Ty is the most honest retailer in town. When he gets stuff in he puts it on the shelf and for a fair retail price. Most retailers hold allocated stuff in the back room for "friends" who usually just buy the bottle and then "flip" it on the secondary market for twice the price. I think Ty see through that corrupt game and operates first-come-first-served, treating all his customers exactly the same. I follow him on Instagram where he posts pictures of bottles he gets in when he gets them. I also check the website frequently and have bought a lot of bottles online for easy pick up. His selection is small but very good. He regularly stocks Wilderness Trail bourbon and has I think the best selection of Campbell Town Scotch in the area. I have a small collection of rum but most of it I've purchased here as he regularly stocks high proof stuff from Jamaica and Barbados. I've also purchased beer here as the craft selection in the walk in refrigerator is excellent. I'm not a wine drinker but he carries of a lot of wine and I'm betting it is bottles you might not find anywhere else. Get on his mailing list and don't miss the lottery he runs for high value bottles around Christmas each year. Love this place and highly recommend it! read more

Aberlour Scotch Whisky blend was the first one. Not peaty at all, super smooth, not a lot of coastal influence. I liked it. The Aberlour 12 year was a little sweeter a little more raisin like. It was definitely easier to drink. I like it more. The Aberlour 16 year had a molasses front and literally no burn. Super brown sugar and sulfur, in a good way, front and slightly alkaline finish. I liked it but the 12 year was my favorite. This is a cute place to stop in for a beer or a glass of wine or to find that special beverage for your dinner party. read more
This was my husband and I's fourth stop on the whiskey hunt this year. At craft wine and beer you got a whiskey flight so we got to sample three of their different whiskeys. The first whiskey we sampled was Aberlour Scotch whiskey blend. It was our least favorite of the three was not very smooth and had a high burn factor with it. The second whiskey we sampled was the Aberlour 12 year. This whiskey out of the three was our favorite it went down smooth had great flavor and no burn. The third whiskey we sampled was the Aberlour 16. This was a nice tasting whiskey with out any burn but we still like the 12-year better. read more
I've dropped in here on a few occasions when in the neighborhood. They have a decent selection of wine and beer. They even have a huge walk in cooler- that I never go into. I just don't like the cold that much. Anyway, the one thing I'm not fond of here is all the wines are kinda mixed together in boxes on tables and the floor. If you have plenty of time you can still around and check out all the various varietals from all over the world. If your short on time ask a staff member behind the bar for faster help. There is a small area out front if the shop to enjoy drink selections. And chairs along the front window and a couple of tables in the back to use. The Reno Wine Lovers group recently used the back tables. We were allowed to bring in snacks to enjoy with our wine purchases. You can pick a bottle from the floor stock or order by the glass from a short list at the bar. The list is always changing. Nice clean spot for more unique wines and beers in the midtown area. read more

I have been here several times but I have wound up utilizing it more as a liquor store than as a bar. I've come in, usually on a weekend when wandering midtown with the wife, picked up a few beers, tossed them in the car and enjoyed them later in the day. A few days ago a coworker suggested Craft for some afterwork beers. I ran a few errands and wound up there around 5. It was packed. Standing room only at the furtherest hightop table from the door. After wandering the fridge for a bit, I chose a beer (Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout) and went to the cashier. The cashier / bartender was kind enough to pop it open for me and pour it into a glass. I headed over to the table and then, after waiting 10-15 minutes, snagged two stools at the bar. My coworker arrived and headed into the beer fridge. He wound up coming out with the same beer I had chosen. We laughed and the bartender opened up his. We chatted and enjoyed our beers and my coworker ordered a beer on tap. We lounged and I never felt pressured or rushed. The crowd cleared after a bit so it wasn't as loud. Even at the fuller capacity I never felt like I had to yell or even speak loudly for my conversation to continue. That was a nice change from most places where I feel like half the experience is yelling over the crowd and/or music in the background. I would definitely come back and grab another beer and chill or grab a beer for later. read more
I thought this place was great, and I don't even drink! It was a hot day so my friends and I enjoyed the chill of the large walk-in cooler as they perused the options. The collection included a fair number of sake varieties. (There are so many.) While the store is not huge, I found they had a wide selection of spirits, many that I had not seen or read about. There seemed to be something for just about everyone, even a few sodas so non-drinkers can sit with those who do. In its regular configuration (as opposed to being set up for a special event), there's a long bar in front by the cash register. There are a few picnic tables inside and outside, with a display of spirits in the center. There's also some novelty seating by the door (see photo). It's a tad on the expensive side. From what I experienced and saw, it appears to be accessible. I do not recall seeing any foodstuffs for sale, as I have seen in other shops like this. The picnic tables kind of invite you to bring some food in, purchase some beverages there, and enjoy. read more
Went here for the "Best UYE ever!!" on a Monday. I hadn't ever been here before because beer is just not my thing. We were there to celebrate the last day of the Yelps on Tap week and maybe even have a pint of the nevadabeer that was made by the community of Reno with Under the Rose. After a long hot day of getting things done about the house, it was nice to walk into their walk in cooler and pick out a nice cider. They have a pretty extensive selection of ciders. Honestly the two I picked weren't really all that. The second would have been great with dinner. Almost like a chilled white wine instead of a cider. But really the review isn't about the one or two ciders I had. It's about the cool place that you can get many different beers, wines and ciders at an affordable price and enjoy the nice environment as well. The large windows and all that natural light really make this place feel homey and upscale at the same time. The women who were behind the counter were very friendly and uber helpful. One reason to come back to a place is the staff making you feel welcome and this definitely was a very welcoming staff. They talked about different ciders and beers I might like and suggested a good number. I will go back.....just not for awhile, I think my liver needs a break from Yelps on Tap week. read more

It was my first time in a place like this. I met up with my friend who's leaving to live in Australia soon, and she picked this place due to the perfect reviews it has. Location is nice, in midtown around numerous businesses. Parking was tough, as usual, and I had to park a ways away next to an apartment complex. There just was not any street parking available at the time. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There was a cute bulldog outside, while we were there, so I assume you may have pets white sitting outside. Basically, there are rows full of different types of wines and beers. There are prices attached to every bottle, and you just pick out which ones you'd like to drink. Prices vary. After purchasing the bottle, the bartender pours the liquor into the appropriate number of glasses and you just sit down on one of the benches to hang out. They do offer snacks, such as crackers, pretzels, sardines, and cheeses to purchase separately. The environment is very calming and relaxing. There's a bar area, which was packed. There was around 6 picnic tables indoors, including the ones outdoors. Staff were very accommodating. This was such a cool experience that I would love to do again! Very cool concept. We purchased and drank a whole bottle of rosé, then walked a block or two and ate at the Mexican restaurant close by. It was so convenient! read more
