    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    This place has been on my list for a long time, I'm sad it has taken me this long to try it! The outside does not do the inside justice. It is located in a strip mall and doesn't look very appealing from the outside. Parking is easy since there's a big shared lot for multiple businesses. The inside is dark with purple lighting and matching purple velvet couches. They have a large bar in the middle which is surrounded by high top tables and the couches for hanging out. They have a huge wall of different wine bottles surrounding a TV that is showing sports games. There's even a little stage tucked in the corner for live music! They had a jazz band there playing Christmas music on the day we went, they sounded fantastic! Our server told us they have live music 7 days a week which we thought was so impressive! They have an extensive drink menu with pretty much anything you could want, including flights. There's also a food menu if you're hungry! We shared a couple bottles of wine, both of the ones we tried were smooth reds that were very affordable. We had a great time hanging out and sipping our wine while listening to the live music! Service was really good too, people came by to check on us frequently despite us just having drinks and sitting at some couches instead of an actual table. I will definitely be back again soon!

It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy.

My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around.

We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Saturday. The joint was nearly empty aside from a couple at the bar. Plenty of seating for our large group in the large, comfy couches. They also have cool built-in seating around the perimeter of the bar, though not nearly as comfortable as the vintage furniture. The menu is sorted by glass type. A fun and unique way to sort cocktails. They also have a selection of beer on draft and wine. The drinks can also be made into mocktails- a win for our group since we had a few non-drinkers. The 1859 mocktail was great. Perfectly sweet with a small hit of miso flavor from the miso honey. Probably even better and more balanced with the whiskey! Others in my group enjoyed working their way through the many light, dark, and sour beers on tap. 1864 offers a classic, relaxed atmosphere and a great place to get a cocktail. The prices are reasonable, too. Definitely worth the visit.

    A wonderful magic show inside the Grand Sierra Hotel & Casino…read more I was looking for something to do without leaving the hotel for a major conference. I saw that they were advertising this show...and I like a good magic show. It did not disappoint. The sleight of hand and on-stage demonstrations were incredible. I was still banging my head of how they did it or maybe it was the cocktail at the bar that was playing tricks on my mind. As a guest of the hotel, I had a 20% coupon and promptly used it at the ticket office, though I think I should have picked my seat better. Nonetheless, I was in the second row and I was able to get a good look of the magic up close. If you arrive early, you can hang out for Happy Hour, they had some unique drinks including the local standby beers and cocktails...and mocktails for those attending the all-ages show. I recommend seeing this show on a Friday or Saturday night if you want a bit more rambunctious, racy show.

After happy hour ended a bud light and high noon was $18. I can't believe they turned the old movie theater into a magic show theater. I sat there thinking about all the movies I saw at the Hotel and the first time I had a drink in a movie theater so long ago, 1989. It was fun in the bar prior to the doors opening they have a magical experience for adults and kids to set the mood for the evening. Tracy the bartender was awesome! She also works at Blitz during the day. She has the kindest soul and such a people person! It was like I had known her for years. They have a box office where you can purchase tickets. Very hard to hear the gal! They definitely need a microphone to speak to each other. If you think you're going to save a few extra dollars on those service fees - you may have to think twice, just purchase on line. It's much easier. Also, they have a snack bar with fresh popped popcorn $9 -$13 and huge pretzels $14. Chase Hasty and his wife have traveled around the world to over 25 countries sharing their magical talent and ballet dancing skills. My favorite part of the show was when Chase brought out a locked box and Hoisted the box with a rope up to the ceiling and told this guy to watch the box. Later in the show they opened the box, it was a pretty impressive trick!!! One not to be forgotten!! It's a small production but well thought out with couple extra dancers and costumes changes. I love that Chase, picks people out of the audience to help with the show. Maddox was a return kid that had been practicing his magic and Chase let him perform in front of the audience and what is that called "That's Magic!!!" It's nice the performers will met you afterwards in the hallway to have pictures and ask questions. It's a great family night or you can come to the later show at 9pm for a little more risky nocturnal show. I'll have to save that one for another time!
