I've been going here and make great memories since their first location I believe they opened in 2017. I've been to a lot of different arcade bars across California and this one's my favorite! The vibes now are even better than before the whole setups just pure fun!! The best adult arcade I've been to in a long time! Drinks are strong, games are epic, pinball always fun, and you leave with not that bad of a dent in your wallet! These guys crush it I noticed they are constantly changing out the pinball games and other video arcade games. Couches to chill on by the bar with mario kart built into the coffee tables and pool table not far away! There's old and new games all over the place hard to stay bored here! Also love the staff here always friendly and welcoming they also crush it here super hard to keep up a place like this so tell your friends and support these guys and don't forget to tip the wonderful staff!! Always a great time here, come down support your local businesses and smash some buttons with some friends or family but remember leave the kids at home 21+ only. ;)

Gayle, Jim, Marti, and I took this most enjoyable walking tour yesterday on a nice warm Sunday…read moreafternoon. The tour started with the lower level of the Renaissance Hotel (who provided water and a snack) for a introduction, a historical set-up (in costume) and fun "throw the cards" warm-up. Once outside (fully masked) and "on the road", our tour stops included the old Post Office/West Elm, the Reno Courthouse, the Virginia Street Bridge, Space Whale/Site of old Mapes Hotel, Old Riverside Hotel, one of Reno's historic old Alleys, and Belle Island. In between were stories of hangings, rings thrown from the bridge, missing person/mob hits, possible prohibition liquor runs through alleged tunnels, and of course the church where the finale of Sister Act was filmed. There were also magic tricks, bad jokes, a look up in the sky gag for tour add-ons, a fake birthday song tribute to a surprised restaurant patron, and a very enjoyable and interactive outdoor experience. The expedition ended back at the hotel with a ring magic trick, a bit historical letter reveal, and appreciation for a job well done. This expedition actually left me with wanting more in terms of local historical tidbits and stories. Maybe sometime post-COVID, a longer and smaller attended walking tour would be "in the cards". In the meantime, please buy a ticket to the Weird Reno walking tour and thank you Kalin, Jinger, Jacques, and family for a bringing a little welcome joy to such a challenging time. Sincerely - Shorty

It was nice to experience something new and much needed in a long time. I definitely recommend getting tickets. We were laughing throughout the tour. So much history of which I learned about that I had no idea.., which left me truly inspired. I'll keep an eye out as I overheard there would be special events around Halloween and the holidays yay! It was a great Saturday in which we were enchanted, outdoors and walking triple points. Even celebrating someone's birthday! If I have friends come from out of town I'll be sure to let them know to check out Weird Reno!

It's fun to get out of the house and see your friends weekly! Pedro is our very favorite server! Believe me we've experienced a couple not so good ones that were new hires and not cut out for serving! My friends usually get food! It's hit and miss! I like my food hot, and it's not always the case! I ask all my friends is your food hot, some say "yes" and others say "no". I think the kitchen needs to work closely with the servers.

Wednesday is half priced bar drinks, and while their prices are already low, the Wednesday deal is a steal! We ordered several classes of chardonnay, beer, a few shots of tequila, the burger sliders and wings. For a Wednesday night, it is pretty dead, which meant we had the arcade to ourselves and a very attentive waiter. Every round of drinks came out fast, and our food did not take much longer than that. The burger sliders were just that, sliders, but the sauced and dry rubbed wings were great! The rest of our party ordered the pretzel board, pizza, and more wings, which were seemingly good. Our waiter did mention they are revamping their menu, so stay tuned for potential changes in their food offerings.

We have now been to this majestic spot x2 now. The first a couple of weeks ago, and quite honestly…read morewe just kind of stumbled upon it. We were in the area and saw the big black widow spider and thought what a large Halloween store. But we were pleasantly mistaken - What used to be a bowling alley has now been repurposed into an absolute wonderland of an experience. It's a full blown kid friendly adult friendly haunted warehouse. My 4 year old son had an absolute blast, it starts of with a bit of trick or treating as your making your way through the adventure, then turns into a full on experience as each and every room has a theme from Jurassic park, aliens, robots, clowns, skeletons, a mirror room that I conveniently banged my head into, all the way to the super psychedelic tunnel. Which leads you to the Macabre mansion - for adults and children too. THEY ARE EXTREMELY ACCOMMODATING- asking how scary you'd like the experience to be. Seeing as my Little guy is 4 we asked for no jump scares. And made it through enjoying every bit of the way. My little guy hugged the zombie, high fives leather face and complimented his chainsaw, noting it looked like it could use some oil, but the blood would do. We had an absolute blast. They are doing a Christmas themed experience as well. The owner has a dream, retired and sunk all of her savings into an experience we can all appreciate. I hope to see them sound for many many more years to come. Do yourself a favor and check them out! You won't be disappointed.

I feel like we lost some credits on the machines because we would swipe and it wouldn't work, but I noticed that my money was going down. There wasn't an attendant to help. We spent like an hour there using up the card. The kids racked up about 1,000 tickets on their card. They use a self serve prize machine to redeem your tickets, which is pretty cool. Overall, we had a great time.

Sounds odd, but kind of glad we got a lot of snow earlier in the week of this event…read more The snow made some area difficult to walk around in but it the secondary glow of the lights pretty cool. I chose to wait until the sun had set to get a better lighting effect from the exhibits. This year the area was spread out a bit more because Wingfield Park is closed. So the event was on the Virginia Street bridge and north on Virginia up to Fourth Street. Also spilling over into the Believe Plaza and along the Truckee Riverwalk. Intertwined with various large light installations were several small artists vendors and a few food stalls. The event was free to wander. Parking was best at the Washoe County Courthouse parking lot.

I'll start out by saying that this festival is still fantastic, and well worth attending. If…read moreanything, we need more things like this in Reno. The fact we have this festival full of art, music, and energy, where the streets are turned over to pedestrians to enjoy, is just such a fantastic experience. Especially being held at night, where you get much more immersed in the experience. This year certainly delivered on awesome art, cool music, and plenty of vendors. And folks were really getting into the groove of things and enjoying themselves. Certainly worth braving the cold temperatures and abysmal parking situations in order to make your way here. (This is when alternative means of transportation are your friend.) The reasons for the downgrade in stars from my score last year are mostly from some assorted setup and execution nitpicks I had. Namely, a few of the music venues were not very well set up for crowd flow, and there was pretty bad backups trying to get in and out. I also feel there could be even more art installations around the streets, as at times it felt more like just strolling amongst the casinos. And lastly, I dearly miss not having events on Wingfield Park, but that was outside of their control due to construction. But all told, I still highly recommend people attend this event, should we get it back next year, and that the event will be better than ever. Definitely looking forward to attending again.
