7/25/25 FYI. Flat bread.
Lee D.

This would have been a 5 star review if the pricing was correct. If you are following, you KNOW this is happening too often and becoming a pet peeve for me. Quality/Quantity - My buddy and I had a really good time here. Did not expect to stay so late?!?! And eat or drink so much... Everyone here is so friendly! From all the customers to the bar tenders! I think we met some new friends. Okay, for the food, we got the following: Crab Cake - Not firm enough for me. Broke apart when we picked it up. Can not recommend. I think it needed to be pan fried a little longer, similar to the french fries. Flat Bread - Spinach, artichoke, tomato. Wow! A home run! I love the crust! Made well, good proportions with toppings, fresh, etc! I will come back for this and maybe even bring my wife, lol. Side of fries - It needed to be in the fryer a little longer, maybe another 3-5 minutes? We like our fries crispy. And too much to drink. We started at Zephyr Wine Bar, but you know that because you are following. This is what we ordered: Flight - Sauvignon Blanc from Chili, Barbera from Italy, Beaujolais from France. Nice selection. Three glasses of Merlot, France. Two glasses of Cabernet. Atmosphere - Love the friendly atmosphere. Also crazy busy! Today the band really drew a huge crowd. A more elderly crowd, and I am told this is normal. Decent size location, like the remodel from the new owners (approximately 3 years ago...?); see pictures. Plenty of mall parking, but then again we also got here at 5pm, lol. Daily entertainment, see pictures and their website. Open 7 days a week, see their website and the pictures. But mainly for the evening crowd. Clean restrooms. But only one men's stall is NOT enough for a huge crowd like this. Always a line. Service - 5 stars, see above. Price - $147 + tip; includes a 4% credit card charge. The fine print said 3%. I did not bring this to their attention, but they really should update the fine print; especially since this is a current pet peeve of mine!! Happening too often getting charged more than menu prices. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success 2022. I look forward to my next visit!

Charcuterie board
Alyssa F.

Sunday evening, a couple girlfriends and I decided to come here for snacks and a drink. The atmosphere is always so lively when I come here. They had a band on stage, saxophone, keyboard and clarinet. Some of the older folks were dancing and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We split the charcuterie board ($40) between three of us and it was plenty! It's also served with fresh, warm, buttered bread--yum. The limoncello spritz was a winner. And the size of their glasses! definitely give this place a try

Mr Sharon O.

I really hate giving a bad review to a l8cal business but.....unfortunately they earned it...time and time again.... I kept trying to give Amanda and crew benefit of the doubt but 8 times straight I get the same horrible service (waiting 20-40 minutes to be acknowledged by a bartender???) Than...to be charged $18 for a glass of house red???? If I wasnt frequenting thus establishment yo support our friend's band (like most my friends and fellow patrons) I wonder if the doors were still open? But last night really brought it home and after keep on trying to look the other way and turn the other "cheek " for nearly a year i had enough! Guys, time to face the truth... you SUCK!

Champagne, Old Fashioned, & Mocktail
Aubrey P.

Loved our experience at Midtown Wine bar! The atmosphere is inviting and cozy with live music every night. The drinks were fun and delicious especially a mocktail we got for fun just to try it! The food is delicious and staff was very friendly and attentive!

My husband and I came here recently for a date night because we saw an ad that mentioned live jazz on Sundays. When we walked in, i realized it had been a quite few years since we had last been here because it looks completely different now -- and for the better! It's sleek yet cozy with nice subtle lighting. And the stage has moved to the right side of the door as you walk in. It's a popular destination with nearly every seat taken by the time we left. My husband and I sat at the bar where we had a good view of the band. Made up of talented musicians, the band played lively jazz standards along with more modern tunes. We had a couple drinks (IPA for him, a yummy lemon drop for me). We also ordered a couple dishes to share - the Spicy Italian Salad (it was ok) and the Spinach, Artichoke, and Tomato flatbread (very tasty). We felt that everything was a bit pricey but there is no cover charge to see the band so that made it worth it to us. However, I am really glad I took a look at the Yelp reviews beforehand so we knew to bring cash to avoid their credit card fees!

We ended up here with our neighbors after a nice dinner downtown. One of them knew a band was playing and we had never been here! It was packed! Definitely a "more mature" crowd if you will :) but that includes us sooner than we'd like haha. The band was playing oldies (that means 60s kids) and even though I'm an 80s girl i definitely still wanted to get out on the dance floor to "be my baby" and "will you still love me tomorrow". Hubs got me a moscato (didn't look at menu just asked for whatever they had so I'm not sure!) and I really enjoyed it as my quasi dessert. Great interior, beautiful bar and back wall of wine bottles that you can actually purchase and enjoy. I would return with this group in the future for a nice older crowd but still know how to party vibe lol.

Crab Cakes
Mark S.

Wanted to try a new place after dropping our daughter off at a friend's house, so we stopped by Midtown Spirits Wine & Bites and boy are we glad we did. If we wanted to have a quite sit down meal, this was not the time or the place as the music was flowing and the place was packed. The vibe was pure energy. Add vibrant decor, great food (potstickers and crab cakes were divine), and music and you have a fun evening. Will definitely come back, especially to try their sliders and/or burger.

Dom & friends!!

This place is the best. The staff is so friendly. The drinks are excellent. The food is really good. And they have music every night.

After going to first Thursday at the Museum of art another friend wanted to get together and suggested Midtown Spirits Wine & bites. We showed up and the place was bustling with music and people. Thankfully there was seating in the back with the nice plush pretty purple seats. This is the spot to be on a Thursday night. We all ordered a bunch of plates, I went with the french 75 drink and chicken pesto sandwich. It was a great time, great food and great spot to visit and catch up with friends. The waitress was apologetic for the long wait and explained it typically is not like that on a Thursday evening. We all stated we understood and had an overall good time.

The bar
Amy R.

What a cool wine bar in Reno. Great u shaped bar and beautiful decor. Great variety of wines, cocktails and cocktails too. There's an appetizer menu for snacking. The three ladies tending bar while we were there were so awesome, attentive and engaging. Live music too! Stop by and check this place out.

Jose S.

This place is very nice. The service was great. They have a small house band that sounds ok. I did not have the opportunity to try their food. Maybe next time. The only negative, it is too expensive.

The Gorgeous Bartender
VeraChris N.

We went here on a whim one Saturday night. Literally left Fallon (because everything closes hella early there, even on a weekend) after an afternoon on the river, and came here because it was recommended by a great friend, Cori. It's roughly an hour drive from Fallon to Reno, but if you've driven the route long enough, you know you can make it well under an hour, wink wink. Midtown Spirits Wine & Bites is located in a huge shopping/dining area. It shares the lot with some beauty salons, a handful of restaurants, a couple more bars, a thrift store, and even a gym. Even with all of the other businesses, parking was pretty easy for a Saturday evening. When we first walked into Midtown, we were 2.5/5 discouraged because: there wasn't enough comfortable seating for us (there were 8 of us), the seating that seemed available from afar was actually reserved, we were out numbered culturally, and we felt, at least, 10-15 years too young compared to everyone else there. There was seating at the bar, but we wanted to enjoy each other's company, not stare each other down from the bar. We ended up squeezing into the corner chairs near the entrance, and we only managed to fit because my petite sister in law sat on my brother's lap and/or the loveseat arm the whole night. Our waiter was amazing, by the way. I'm sorry that I forgot his name, but he was tall-ish with wavy brown hair, and he was cool and attentive, and he brought us extra pickles because he heard us raving about the pickles! The lone bartender that night made some amazing drinks. They all came out so pretty and perfect, and they all tasted great. We all agreed that she was absolutely gorgeous, and she totally stood out from the rest of the staff. We started off with waters, which was nice, because hanging out on the river, and having previous homemade libations can make you pretty parched. It was good water, too, not tap water or Arrowhead water. Our drinks included a couple of Manhattans, some Old Fashioned's, a Cosmo, a French 75, an Espresso Martini, and a Salty Dog. Second round had more French 75's and more Manhattans. We ordered A LOT of food, but there was 8 of us, and we went there with the intentions of eating and hanging out, so... Our food order included the Potstickers , BBQ Chicken Flatbread, Sirloin Sliders, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Burrata and Olives, and the Pesto Chicken sandwich. For bar food, we were impressed. Everything looked great, and nothing was soggy or greasy or overly salty. The pesto was incredibly fresh, the sirloin was tender and very easy to bite into, everyone loved the pickles and the olives, and the flatbread was the overall favorite and was obviously the easiest one to share. Every plate was returned empty, as was every glass. There was a live band that played a good mix of older songs (60's-80's-ish genres). There was one specific group of friends on the dance floor dancing to pretty much every song, but they had more liquid courage than we did (I spotted many wine bottles on their tables). The restrooms, located behind the bar and to the left of the stage, are well kept and well lit. The ladies restroom has at least two stalls, but my sister in law and I still had to wait our turns. It's a curse no matter where we Ladies have to go, I guess... Would I return to Midtown Spirits Wine & Bites??? Probably not, to be honest. It's really not the crowd for me. But Midtown Spirits Wine & Bites is pretty solid! The food, drinks, decor, music, and staff: all great! 4/5!

Charcuterie plate
Grant H.

Came back here to listen to Saxman on Sunday, and it was PACKED by 4:30 p.m.! Just goes to show you how a great band can bring in the people. We met some friends and found some seats in the corner. The cocktails were amazing as usual, and we got some food that was recommended for groups...the charcuterie plate. After having more cocktails, we tried the chicken pesto sandwich...deelish. The combination having great music with a packed house and attentive bartenders and staff along with great food and drink made this a memorable evening. Midtown Spirits Wine & Bites has regular entertainment with a schedule posted on their website and makes for a great evening out.

From the…read moremoment you walk in, the space sets the tone with a modern industrial design, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and an open, airy layout that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The long tables lined with bottles feel almost like a curated gallery, and the garage-style doors let in natural light that makes the whole place feel alive without being loud or overwhelming. What really stands out is how intentional everything feels, especially the wine list. It is handwritten on a large chalkboard, which gives it a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, but the selection is thoughtful and globally inspired. You will find a mix of Old World staples and boutique producers alongside well-chosen California options. The list includes everything from crisp Picpoul and Bordeaux Blanc blends to approachable Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with more unique offerings like Loire Valley blends and Spanish varietals that show they are not just playing it safe. The pricing is another highlight. Most glasses land in the $9 to $15 range, which feels more than fair for the quality. They even offer a carafe option, about two and a half glasses, which is perfect for sharing and encourages you to settle in and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a wine bar. It is relaxed, conversational, and effortlessly refined. It is the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply unwind and end up staying longer than you planned. What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Kate. She went above and beyond in every way. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the wines, and genuinely warm in her approach. She made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and created an experience that felt personal rather than transactional. It is clear she cares about what she does, and it made a great environment feel even better. Black Rock Wine Co is not trying too hard, and that is exactly why it works. It is curated, welcoming, and just the right level of elevated. We will absolutely be back.

Brunch is all day on Sundays however they do have a lunch menu starting at 12pm, so we ordered from each menu. The ahi nachos were great, thick pieces of tuna and a great sauce drizzled over. The Mushroom Lover's Omelette was fluffy and had a LOT of gruyere. The potatoes it came with were herbaceous and very well fried.

When we arrived, every table was full, so we grabbed seats at the bar. It turned out to be a great spot to watch the bartenders create beautiful drinks, including some of their signature cocktails served in a glass purse for parties of two or more. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, with groups celebrating birthdays and other special occasions. After looking over the menu, we decided on the lox crostini bites and the bruschetta. We each ordered a glass of sparkling wine. I added a chocolate rim to mine, which was fun to look at, although it didn't add much flavor. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed watching the flowing chocolate waterfall. Considering how busy the bar was, our food arrived quickly. The crostini were crisp, and both appetizers were fresh and flavorful. The only drawback was the volume of the DJ, but we knew what to expect as soon as we walked through the door. This is definitely a fun place for parties and groups looking for a lively night out. One last observation: I probably wouldn't choose this spot for a group of men. The décor and overall vibe are very much geared toward women, but the name says it all.

Having just moved from California, I found myself missing the endless amounts of tasting rooms all…read moreover the area. I've been excited to start making my rounds in the Reno/Tahoe/Truckee areas and let me tell you, I started off strong! I was able to book a reservation when I Googled the tasting room. I wasn't sure I needed one so I made just to be on the safe side. Our reservation was on Saturday before Memorial day weekend so I wasn't sure how busy it would be. Our reservation was for 4:30 and we would would been okay without one. I booked a window view which gives you a nice view facing 4th street and beyond. There are so many seating options and you can't tell from the outside but there's definitely plenty of room! It looked like they have some outdoor seating as well! All three of us ordered a tasting flight and eat all shared a charcuterie board and a lobster roll. My flight was the Pinot Noir and I was very impressed! Each one was better than the last! The charcuterie board was amazing and something I'd definitely order again. The filling of the lobster roll was good but I wasn't a fan of the bread. Our server was prompt, personable, and so sweet, we enjoyed her very much! I love the different seating options and that you can look around at all the wines they have within the building. Our first experience was wonderful and I can't wait to return to try more flights and menu items. I feel this is such a nice place to celebrate, relax or enjoy a date night. Things to note: Reservations recommended in the afternoons on weekends. Kitchen doesn't open until 4:00

I wanted a burger but the only meat burger option came with mushroom Brie, and I'm a mushroom hater so I was disappointed because I really wanted a burger. But the waiter was able to order me a veggie burger with a meat patty (I liked the toppings offered). It was delicious! I also ordered salt and vinegar tots with it and those were good too. I've never seen salt and vinegar offered before on fries/tots. Everyone else's dinner at my table looked so good. We had someone with the salmon, someone with salad and steak, someone with meatballs, someone with a Cuban. They all looked so good and made me want to try them all. I did feel my burger was a bit small but the ingredients were fresh and I really liked the flavors. I also wish it came with my arugula, I only got one tiny piece!

This wine bar has a variety of wine from all around the world. Some expected wines from France and California, but also some more obscure ones from places such as Austria, so there is something for every taste! You can both order a wine by the glass or buy a bottle, which they will open for you to have onsite and that you can also take home if you don't finish it. Their prices are fair for a bottle and I wish I had done that instead of ordering a glass. The service was great! We had a huge group, yet the server was super patient and provided great recommendations to everyone. She was running around the whole time to take care of us and other patrons, but always did it with a smile on her face. I never felt rushed. They have limited snack options for purchase but allow you to bring in your own snacks as well. Finally, the space. It is on the smaller size but we were able to fit our group in without issues, while still leaving some open tables for other patrons. They also provide service on a handful of outdoor tables. The only minor issue is they had live music which felt quite loud in such a small place, but when asked, they were able to lower the volume a bit which was very nice of them!
