The bar had a decent selection of drinks and was average for this type of spot. The issue I have is the audio quality of the venue. It is poor. There are two flown speakers on either side of the stage, they are directed to the rear of the room. There is nothing to cover the front of the audience. I was up on the railing for the show and I could not hear any vocals from the band. There are wedge monitors directed at the band, but no front fills for the audience. I had a good time, but the audio quaility needs to be improved.

I like that they provide a big cooler of water for people to fill their cups. Another customer lit up a joint in front of my two 12 year olds. I wasn't too crazy about that, for their first all ages show, but it's Reno I guess. To their credit, I explained the situation and they quickly & respectfully extinguished. (Now I'm a Karen, dang...) We didn't try the food, but the drinks were reasonably priced. Great selection of beers & cider on tap. Super nice employees. Excellent sound quality. Looking forward to seeing another show in the near future!!

This past weekend I was going to breakfast down the way, and had some time to kill with the wait so wondered on down. This is a GREAT local music shop with small venue in the back. So many instruments and a very cozy/warm atmosphere. The converted house is the perfect building for this type of business. The owner (or one of them?) was quick to greet us and show us around the place. I tried out a couple of vintage instruments when I was there and he was very knowledgeable and informative about what I was playing. Looking forward to coming back for a live performance at sometime. They seem to have routine jam sessions as well as touring musicians stopping by the place.

Truly a hidden gem in midtown! We stopped by Mountain Music Parlor one day on a quest for used…read morevinyl records. We rang the doorbell and were greeted by one of the owners, Don, and his dog LadyBug. Don informed us that if we were looking for records, we were in the wrong place but told us to come check out what they DID have. Mountain Music Parlor is a cute little shop filled with all sorts of instruments. So many that you'll have to go see for yourself including endless ukuleles, cricket violins, guitars, and more. The most amazing thing about Don was that no matter what obscure musical instrument or accessory we asked about, Don had it! From cajons to violin mutes. He also showed us the performance room where they have different jam sessions including Celtic nights, Old Time, Cowboy, Aloha Ukulele, Open Mic, and Bluegrass. They also have music lessons available for various instruments. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon Mountain Music Parlor and will definitely be getting all of my musical knick knacks from them for the foreseeable future. Always excited when I can support great local businesses like this!

I have visited Cargo for a variety of concerts over the years and have enjoyed every experience…read more They book many different genres, and more recently I've noticed that they started booking comedy shows. You'll notice how well the acoustics sound inside upon your first visit. It's not the largest venue in Reno, but it still has a capacity of about 1,000. There is very limited seating in the back. Like most venues, there is no re-entry. Cargo does provide an outdoor smoking area. There is a separate room reserved for merch tables. Since it's crammed in a small room there are typically lines out the door. The venue itself is clean as are the restrooms. The bar is long and the bartenders are attentive and fast. You won't spend much time waiting for your drinks. Cargo has a good selection of beer/alcohol. They serve Tahoe Blue Vodka which has become popular in the area. I've noticed how attentive security is as well. Depending on the crowd, it's nice knowing they're aware of their surroundings and can react quickly.

Terrible acoustics- low end echo completely overwhelmed the show despite sound crew's attempts to compensate. Bad sight lines- just a flat concrete floor with no seating or rails. If you want to mosh pit it's fine but if you want to watch a performance it's pretty brutal.

I have been to two shows in the last year here at the Grand Theatre, and while I think it's a great…read morevenue, it's not perfect. The venue itself is nice. Well designed, lots of bars and bathrooms. It's easy to get in and out. Traffic flow is usually not too bad. They do have construction happening for the new arena, which means that parking at the GSR is limited, so be aware on show nights and come a bit early. The bar prices are semi-reasonable. They have beer, canned cocktails, and some wine choices. They also have light snacks for purchase, but no real food options. The primary challenge with this venue is the sound. It's just not great. The echoes are noticeable, and it's often way too loud in here. I always feel like I need my earplugs at this venue. Many reviews tell you how great their show was, and I think they are confusing the show quality with the venue quality. The shows here are great, but that doesn't have anything to do with the venue itself. If you are looking for a top-shelf auditory experience, you might want to consider seeing your show at another venue. If you're okay with some sound imperfections, the Grand Theatre is a perfectly fine venue.

This Holiday Market was so cool. Not only were there alot of vendors, they were all really unique. The place was full of color, creativity and tons of positive energy, just the perfect vibe. I do have to say that it was a bit warm and music was too loud to have a conversation with the vendors, but I suppose that's minor.

It's a true dive bar in the best possible way -- cheap drinks, free pool, good people, hot girls, hot guys, and absolutely zero pretentiousness. The fact that it's open 24/7 is a huge bonus, and being able to smoke inside just adds to that classic dive-bar atmosphere. You never really know what kind of night you're going to have here, but you know it's going to be entertaining. One of my favorite things is Family Day on Sundays. They provide FREE food for everyone, which is something you just don't see anymore. It really gives the place a sense of community that makes it stand out. If you're looking for a fancy cocktail lounge, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want a real bar with character, good vibes, pool, interesting people, and a place where you can walk in at literally any hour -- this is it. Been coming for years and I'll keep coming back.
