My favorite midtown dive. Grateful to all whom sling drinks and keep an excellent vibe going. Round that out with a crowd that is chill and absolutely so much fun and great to chat. giggle and enjoy being around. I think this may be the best bar I've ever been to. Seriously. read more

Great little dice bar. Very friendly bartender was super nice and jolly. World Cup soccer was playing with several patrons enjoying the jukebox. It was a little bit smokier than I would like. I always expect dive bars to be smokey but this was a bit more than I prefer. There's a pool table and if I recall, a dart board as well. read more

Nice atmosphere. Friendly people. My BFF works here so always a fun time when she's there!!

Holy jumping Jesus missles on rocket roller skates batman. I am a believer. One of the better burgers I have had accompanied with possibly the best service I have received. Sheri, your golden goose of shining passion not only deserves a healthy raise, she belongs on the "protect as a national treasure" category. Thank you for making my night truly special.​ read more

This venerable business has been here since the late 1940's and is largely unchanged. Once called Lucky Pete's, this bar has been owned by Rodeo supporter , organizer and legend Mike Lucke. In the late 1970's this bar drew a rough crowd, from iron workers fisticuffs to hard edged blue bollar bores, the 1980's brought more of a white powder crowd and an influx of influential Reno businessmen. Today, it is a classic locals bars with patrons who have been coming here for 30 plus years. Its friendly. fun, sports centric and two old pool tables that have seen some of the best shooters in town. Terrific place! read more

Hadn't been here in about 10 years. Came in beginning July 2019 with a friend was like being in a time machine. Love this place, great bartenders, good people and conversation. Don't know why it took so to come back. Been coming in 3 times a week since. Best local bar in this part town. read more

Cold beer, video poker, good dive bar atmosphere. Nothing too fancy here which is what I want in a local dive bar. Service is good as long as you arent a lousy customer. read more

Every time I've been here the patrons have been ok but staff have been rude. Great pool tables though?

Worst service I've ever had in a tavern and believe me I like dive bars! The bartender let me stand there with money in my hand for a solid 15 minutes and served everyone else. Granted it's a local bar but usually my money is good enough anywhere. If you're not a local don't bother. read more

Best bartenders that I've ever met. Came in met buba, then came in again met, jim had a great time best bartender's I've met super nice great pool tables great music. Had a blast. read more

Cheap Drinks Passable Pool Tables Can still smoke inside Great patrons It is the perfect place to socialize if you want or sit and be left alone if that is what you need. No mixology here. Just shot and beer kind of place. Great conversation from bartenders. When you go to a bar like this you know you need to respect the regulars. This is their living room. read more

I won't even frequent the place until they replace that nasty, disgusting American Flag on the side of their building. I have called many times and requested they put up a new flag. I alerted the Veterans Adminstration and they also asked them to replace the flag. We went so far as to drop off brand new flags on two separate occassions, to no avail. I cannot for the life of me figure out why ANYONE would support a place , especially ON WELLS AVENUE, without the patriotism that comes with proper flag etiguette. If they are not going to fly the Flag properly, they should take it down altogether!! read more

Lucke's Saloon - Yay day drinking - Dive Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Poor poor poor costumer service. If your not a regular they treat you like crap. The owner blocks the ally way to parking with his truck because he is " handy capable" just because you have a blue thing hanging in you windshield dose not mean you block traffic. And just because I'm not a "regular" does not mean you have to have a poor attitude. You never know what kind of business you lose out on. read more

We try to visit a new dive bar every time we visit Reno. On this visit we decided to check out Lucke's and were glad we did. The bartender was friendly as well as the old timer locals. Only drawback was only having Budweiser and Coors on tap but they did have a moderate selection of microbrews and other beers in bottles. read more

I've lived in Nevada a long time. The one thing you know is gamblers get a free drink. So to my surprise I get charged for my drink, when we ask the bartender says "that's only a casino thing" not to mention the screaming patrons. This place should not even be considered a stop for anyone looking for a chill place. 4 dollar short well beverages... read more

One of my favorite haunts on wells ave. Great place. Nice people. Killer bloody Mary's on Sunday mornings with Tina.

Love this little bar. Jim is the best bartender! Great drinks, hilarious jokes, and a super comfortable atmosphere!

Not bad. Been there a couple of times. The staff and patrons both are friendly. This was a much-welcome breath of fresh air as compared with a certain other bar a couple of blocks north on the same side of the street. It's definitely worth another visit. read more

It was late, and we weren't sure where we were headed. Spotted this place and it must have been fate. GREAT People. Awesome history. Pictures all over the walls. Couple pool tables. Great music. I will definitely go back again. THANKS read more

I left out some crucial details in my first review due to chemical alteration, and my current state of chemical alteration is making me feel compelled to add some amendations. Yelp doesn't think that's a word, but I disagree. I digress. Lucke's is a typical unpretentious, unrefined Reno joint. People are warm, and friendly. Especially the warm part. The bartenders and patrons are very friendly, and unpretentious. You will not feel uncomfortable. You will not feel pretentious, but maybe you will. That part is mostly on you. I guarantee you will feel warm and friendly. Seriously, this place is worth a look. Multiple looks. Multiple looks per week if you feel so inclined. read more
