    A little hole in the wall at Midtown! Local Beer Works is a pretty cool bar along Virginia St., mostly tucked in a corner of a shopping center. They have 31 beers on tap and the staff is super friendly and helpful! Since they have a good amount of beers on tap, they're always happy to offer little tasters. A nice little perk is the popcorn and the numerous amount of games you can play! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great place to bring your pup! Always recommended to have on a leash and be well behaved. If you're in Midtown, definitely worth visiting and grabbing a beer!

    Great atmosphere, friendly service! I tired a few different version of their margaritas and decided to order, the rainbow. Margaritas mix and berry cider. Delicious

    This is a solid little spot in Midtown - great beer selection (including drafts and bottles), as well as non-alcoholic options. They have a shelf full of games which is fun, and they often host events such as paint nights and participate in neighborhood events (Dancing in the Streets for example). The inside space is relatively small, but they have picnic tables outside and a large "garage" door that opens. What stands out is the staff, they're all just so super nice and friendly! Also, major bonus is they allow dogs! As long as they're leashed and well-behaved.

    A cozy beer place in the midtown, ideal for small groups. I tried their espresso and Dunkel beers and loved them!

    Immediately I loved the fun vibe. The games and coloring books were a great touch. Nice selection of beer on tap. I'd love to have had a non alcoholic choice.

    I had the berry cider and loved it. Everyone got something different, but everyone loved.

    Decided to stop in for "metalesque burlesque"; something new, intriguing and fun! The bartender Kenzie was fantastic, very outgoing and friendly also very knowledgeable about taps behind the bar. The venue as a whole is small and intimate but more than enough room for a small gathering to sit comfortably together. Great neighborhood stop if you want to relax for a bit or quickly stop in for a drink as you stroll through midtown Reno.

    Flight for your right to paaaaaaatay!

    Cool little spot to have a beer or two while in Midtown. We went in just after they opened for the day and had the place to ourselves. I was able to get a flight and try a number of tasty offerings for a decent price. The open space was super clean and I felt like I was in a neighborhood bar instead of pretentious beer bar. Not that there is anything wrong with a pretentious tap house, but it was nice to have a neighborly feel to my experience while we chilled on a quiet afternoon. Parking nearby can be at a premium but it isn't too far to some sort of parking options unless the area has an event going on. If you are lucky they will have a spot in the parking lot. They do have a handful of games too.

    Great service and staff recommends among the many beverage choices. Come check this place out.

    Cider and Meade
    Tara T.

    This place WROCKS! We went here on a hot Friday night looking to have cider on tap. After Googling "cidery", this came up. We knew where it was because we had seen it driving by in the past. Super cool, chill vibes. Totally a place to relax and not think about the outside world or look at your phone. They have coloring for adults, outdoor seating, and nice bathrooms. I loved what they have on tap, which includes, ciders, meads, kombuchas, and mostly local brews (hence the name). Definitely a place I'll recommend to others, I already have!

    Sabine M.

    This place this awesome!! We had some amazing beers and margaritas with our flight. It's low key and not super pricey either! Definitely recommend this!!

While it's not necessarily the healthiest, the menu is definitely a notch better than your typical bar food. The stuff from the kitchen also comes out pretty quickly. Drinks: Jason, the head distiller, won a silver medal for the in-house gin - and it's clear to see why. Their whole set up is quite impressive, and if you visit, I highly recommend trying their gin and vodka. It's also great to visit during off-peak hours to chat with Jason and learn more about the distillery. Ambiance: the acoustics are surprisingly good for indoor music. The indoor dining area isn't huge but there are plenty of tables without feeling cramped. Overall, this is a great local business worth supporting in South Tahoe.

Shedcat was found, yep, in the shed Hannah was our waitress. It appeared to be a quiet day as when we walked in, we were the only patrons. Our meal was made up of fried brussels sprouts, grilled artichoke hearts and a pastrami sandwich. The food is prepared and made to order so it was delivered to us nice warm and freshly made. Scott, my dining partner, tried one of the IPAs on tap. I on the other hand tried their distilled vodka. They have two varieties one is a regular distilled vodka and the other is citrus. My personal liking was the citrus vodka. Our visit did not extend for longer than a couple hours in the Southlake Tahoe area. But if it did I do understand they have entertainment on Friday evenings along with many other events. Footnote!

Then we transitioned inside where we could still hear the music, but it was in the shade so it was cooler. It's hard to Believe on March 14,2026 it was too hot outside. The place was packed and all the outdoor shady spots were taken. The kids were playing wildly with the hula hoops and running around. The adults were playing ping pong and corn hole. Today, March 15 we returned to play Corn hole, ping pong and for lunch. We started with the broccoli chatter soup. We wanted the leech soup too, but they were out. We also had the turkey pesto grilled sandwich with gooey melted cheese and chips. We shared it and it was just right amount for us for lunch. I love outdoor games and even more when they are free. Corn hole is a tough game. I only got 2 in snd he got 4. Im not sure if we're any better at ping pong. Either way we had a fun time. After we were done a group of 6 kids were all playing and in the process some younger kids got fidgety and dismounted the net. I'm so glad we played first with the net intact. This is definitely a place I'll return to. We were at Caesar's watching the Raiders and 49ers play around 6 months ago and got hungry. There wasn't anything to tat in the casino so I popped over here and got us some sandwiches. It was perfect. The people in front of us did the same thing. If you walk out the back door of Caesars they are across the street.

The people who work there are super open, friendly, and welcoming. There's a strong feeling of acceptance and warmth. Even though my English isn't perfect, they were so kind and made me feel completely comfortable, which honestly means a lot. They also recommended drinks, and wow -- everything I tried was genuinely delicious. And the coolest part: if you're not sure what you like or can't decide, they'll let you taste different drinks, which is such a nice touch. Another thing I loved is that you can buy really cool jewelry and interesting little things for your home. Everything fits the same aesthetic -- relaxed, artsy, slightly mushroom-core vibe -- and it all just works together so well. Overall, the vibe is unreal. Super cozy, inspiring, and warm. I 100% recommend checking this place out -- it might just become your perfect spot to spend time, chill, and feel good.
