    Halloween party at the NITECAP. Great band and a wonderful time!
    Julie U.

    There is everything to love about this place. Wonderful owners, delicious cocktails, live music and good food trucks on many weekends. The regular patrons are really nice people. There's two pool tables for those who like to play. If you're in the Verdi area, this is the best place to hang out!

    Beer, gaming, pool, darts, good drinks

    I love Nitecap! The vibe is amazing. It's clean and cozy. They have two pool tables, a dart board, giant Jenga, karaoke on Saturday, live bands Friday, and much more to come for the summer months! Also Pauli is a phenomenal bartender

    My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. 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. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). 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. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

The interior is dimly lit, calm, and still very inviting--something you really have to experience in person. The drinks and mocktails are so well crafted that it's almost shocking--you take a sip, then look back at the menu like, "Wait... that's all it cost?" and then back at the bartender like, "Hold on... you made this perfectly for me?" We sat at the bar top and, like everyone else, got caught up in our phones trying to post everything in real time. But Amanda, who was making our drinks, could spark a conversation out of thin air. She was a total pro at keeping us engaged and enjoying our time, all while making drinks and taking care of everyone else around us.

The standout of…read morethe night was definitely Amanda the mixologist--she was absolutely great, incredibly fun to talk to, and an overall delight to be around while making our drinks. The atmosphere itself is on the smaller side, but it fits the cozy, hidden speakeasy vibe perfectly. ​That being said, the pricing is a bit tough to swallow. I ordered a drink for $22 that tasted good, but overall, the drinks here are just way too expensive for what you get. They also had live music playing during our visit; it was good lounge background music that added a nice vibe to the room, but it wasn't anything spectacular or something to get overly excited about. ​It's a cool spot to check out for the ambiance, but the high drink prices keep it at a flat three stars for me.

And then two weeks later, my oldest daughter came to join us and enjoy Wolf. The ambiance is cozy, glamorous and rustic at the same time. The lighting is so perfect and flattering. Little details are everywhere, and as a librarian, they knew to seat me by the library. The wait staff was professional, fun and super accommodating. They suggested a shotski, and my son chose a spicy vodka by accident. The video is priceless! Must haves: any of the cocktails! I asked for a champagne cocktail and they verified it was one with bitters, so they made it especially for me. The Wolf Bread is so yummy. And honestly, all of the food we tried was 5-star delicious.

    The Emerson is truly one of those places that delivers every single time…read more Tyler has built something special here, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. The food is next level, with Chef Sean as the secret weapon in the kitchen. Every dish feels intentional, elevated, and consistently on point. And then there's the bar... the mixology is just as impressive. Whether you're ordering a classic or something creative, the cocktails are crafted with the same level of care as the food. What I love most is how versatile it is. I've been there on a weeknight just to unwind and soak in the atmosphere, and it's just as perfect on the weekends meeting up with friends. And when it comes to their events... drag bingo, drag brunch, and special occasions... they know how to create an experience that's fun, inclusive, and unforgettable. This isn't just a bar, it's a staple in Midtown. One of those places you keep coming back to, again and again.

We had two very different tastes (vodka and tequila) and she nailed both drinks perfectly. The bar felt clean, welcoming and comfortable even with its edgy vibe. I also loved the tarot cards they provide! I think they may have been intended as coasters (lol) but I kept mine as a souvenir and now use it as my bookmark. It's become one of my favorite little keepsakes. Location and parking: it's on a main strip right on the corner with a small parking lot but there's also accessible street parking in the neighborhood. I highly recommend it and will definitely return anytime I'm in Reno

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. ;)
