The Polo Lounge is one of the longest running eclectic bar in reno. Don't consider it a dive bar, its a bar that caters to an older crowd 5 days a week & weekends, the only spot where you can see videos from the 70s,80s,90s,2000s. For sure cool party spot if you love a variety of music & they have themed nights. Just gotta follow them on Facebook & Instagram to know the 411 at The Polo Lounge Reno. read more

Aubrey the bartender is friendly and lovely. Service is prompt and everyone attending Dirty Birdy Bingo (Tuesday evenings) is welcoming. Half the money raised from bingo cards benefits local charities. Bingo prize donated by Polo. Blackout is a cash portion of bingo proceeds. Highly recommend for a mellow and still sassy night. read more

I came here with a girlfriend before we went to El Adobe. They've got tons of drink specials and events that go on here. It's perfectly divey if you're into that. Looks like they do karaoke and it gets fairly busy on the weekends ! read more

One of our friends wasn't doing well and the bouncer made it 10 times worse. This was on the Saint Pattie's day crawl. He was yelling at us and making a big scene that didn't need to happen. read more

We were intrigued by the skeletons climbing up the face of the wall overhead in front of the building so we decided to go in for a drink. Cool little place to stop and grab a drink. The place was clean and had a lounge area with a couple of pool tables. read more

This was a really dope spot! Never been before, but the vibe was really cool. I had no idea this place existed until just recently and really enjoyed it. Loved how they showed the music video on one side of the building where the dj and dance floor was. Other side was the bar and then pool tables. Didn't get the female bartenders name, but she was very friendly and chill. Deff gonna remember this spot! read more

We absolutely love the 80s night on the first Friday of every month. DJ Bobby G & Chris Payne make the experience fun and memorable. We will be back read more

Why, yes! I did give the polo lounge five stars! You're probably wondering why and that's fair. It's been years since I've been inside this building but in that time the polo lounge has undergone an incredible transformation. Gone is the smoky dive cougar den that once was, and now thrives a lively bar, billiards room, nightclub and lounge , all of which is completely smoke-free! The crowd was as friendly as always. The live music was more than entertaining, and to this cake the whiskey selection behind the bar was what I'd call exceptional for a place like this, and the pricing was unbeatable! I ordered a Frey ranch rye whiskey, neat and it came out as a 2 to 3 ounce pour for under $15! I noticed quite a few allocated bottles Japanese whiskey, and more that I would've liked to of tried had I had more time but after our experience, I'll certainly be back sooner than later! read more

The polo is holding on to that fifth star for letting me back in. I experienced karaoke with jeffrey.. as a veteran myself of the karaoke wars I can tell you this gon joint is approved by USO girls. And prolly boys. Trippy Chairs on the dance expansion. Nice big monitors. Pretty, too read more

We frequent the polo for their live music 80s nights, great atmosphere, fairly priced drinks and a good spot to hang out with friends on a Friday night read more

Great owners, an old school vibe, around Halloween, the decor is amazing, and karaoke twice a week. (Mon & Thurs nights) Great bands and DJs on the weekends, Polo is a great place to go. Before events can be chill, and a great place to hang, and when the events are going, the vibe is wild. read more

Dark & comfortable, friendly bartender. I don't play slots there anymore because they are malfunctioning. Sometimes don't even pay small winnings. Bar doesn't feel any responsibility to pay you. Too bad! read more

Fun fun fun dancing good cocktails ,peeps are fun dang good Bartenders ate fun!! You don't know it till u get in:)))))

Karaoke on Mondays & Thursdays. Great bartenders, great events. Lots of fun. Mostly 30s & up crowed. A really nice, neighborhood bar welcoming of all. No food served, but good prices on drinks. Tip well and you'll probably get a heavy pour. read more

My go to place for a girls night out that includes dancing and some cocktails! the music is always hopping and the drinks flowing. A great mix of people in the crowd. On the rare occasion that a guy gets rowdy, the bouncer is on it to send him packing (thank you Robert!!!). Can't wait till the live music comes back! :) read more

This place is definitely a v i b e. True to its name, it is absolutely a lounge. Under the dim lighting, there's plenty of red leather upholstered cozy high couches to sit while enjoying your drinks. There's an entire section dedicated to billiards and plenty of spaces to park at the bar. I enjoyed the live music and dancing in the adjoining room, and I'd definitely come back on my next trip. I could tell that this place is certainly for locals and a slightly older clientele. Overall, I enjoyed my large plastic cup of vodka soda and the freely available tap water. I can't believe we were debating stopping in! This place is totally worth it, if you're looking to let your hair down and have some fun. read more

I've heard about this Reno staple for years. The rumor around town is it's where you go for "cougar hunting", whatever that is. While I did notice the crowd definitely leans to the older side, I found it to also be one of the more eclectic and classy bars in Reno with a good mix of peoples. This place looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but the interior is spacious and well plotted out. There is a main bar area, which greets you as you walk in the door. To one side of that is a lounge type area with pool tables and comfy chairs and to the other is the dancefloor, which had a couple of gogo dancers and a DJ. Definitely wasn't expecting the dancers, so that was a surprise but a good one! The dancing ladies also help at the bar and while we were there, despite how busy it was, we got our drink orders pretty fast. Should probably mention this place has a rule against vapes, which is fine and the bouncers were totally cool with explaining it to us but I didn't see anything detailing this on our way in but I am sure I just missed it. I mention it because bars here are about 50/50 on whether you can smoke but this is the first one I've been in that has rules against vapes. The amount of security staff at this location and I suppose the amount of staff in general is probably twice as many as any other club I've been into in Reno and it looks like they are largely successful and it feels safe. Other bars and clubs here could learn a thing or two from Polo. read more

We were in town for an Aces game and stumbled across the Polo Lounge. I am glad we did! It definitely has an old school vibe with friendly patrons and staff. Our bartender, Jack, was fun to talk with and kept our beer supply up to date! I would definitely go back if i am in Reno. read more

Probably one of Reno's favorite "dive bars" for the older crowd, the music, dancing, and overall atmosphere here make for a fun spot. It has that kind of tacky, old school charm. The only drawback is that seating for more than four is at a premium. read more

Incredible place for 30's and up for great vibes and amazing people. New friends to be made and no drama!

Good dancing and friendly bartenders, but very crowded and not enough seating, which I didn't love. Most people looked very happy and we're having fun, though. read more

Polo Lounge - Having fun - Lounges Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came here after a recent holiday party for work. The holiday party involved dinner and two free drink tickets, but left many of the employees wanting more. One of the older adult employees suggested we all come to the Polo Lounge. All of us who are in our 20's and 30's had never heard of it but decided to give it a shot. We had the best time! The Polo Lounge is in Midtown but is easy to miss as it is not on the main part of South Virginia with the rest of the bar scene. One side of the building has the bar and several places to sit. The other room has a stage with live music! The band sounded good but the main female singer was not the best, she messed up the lyrics to Dancing Queen which everyone else in the crowd was even able to sing without error. However, one of the male singers was pretty impressive at doing the rap portions of a few different songs. The vibe was super fun and nobody really cared about how good the performing was; they were just happy to be dancing and singing along to live music! They played a variety of songs including oldies and more current jams that you would hear on the radio. My husband and I got 3 drinks and our total was $27 before tip, so pretty affordable cocktails. You could consider this place a dive bar but it was a lot of fun and a nice change from the typical bar scene. I would come back again as a stop on a night out with friends, mostly because of the live music! read more

Polo Lounge - Inside the Polo Lounge with live music - Lounges Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I've only been in a few times. It's kind of boring and dark, with very little going on. The karaoke is so painful it was actually the reason I left. The bartenders I've seen aren't exactly quick to recognize that a customer has walked in because they're busy talking to the other two people in the place, and they aren't engaging in any way. It's probably better if you're a regular, or go on toward the end of the week, but Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday have left a lot to be desired. read more

Disappointing. Nice decor, good initial ambiance; live music and karaoke nights. However, I had a very bad experience. A very large, drunk and aggressive man was harrasssing and threatening customers. Management was aware of the situation. Finally, the man started a fight with a karaoke singer on stage. The two of them went outside to fight. I saw the drunk man headbutt the other man (viewed out the window). Then the drunk man reentered the bar. He was not thrown out, the police did not come. It seems to be a Dangerous place. Occured 10/26/23. read more

Close to home, this is kinda an upscale dive bar. Oxymoron right? It is a tight fit if you are there on a busy night. Dark place with low ceiling, tiny stage area and dance floor. On occasion they have live music or karaoke. It's a simple bar, so no foofoo cocktails, just regular old school ones, beer and limited wine. Week nights it can be a nice quiet place for a cocktail, on weekends a fun place to hang out with friends. It has that old school MadMen vibe with dark wool interior and some booth seating. Located in a strip mall there is plenty of easy parking available. read more

I didn't eat but the drinks were great and the atmosphere was awesome. The bartenders were funny and had great personality's.

Old school charm and great pool tables. It's a fun place to catch a drink after work with some friends.

Came here for a comedy show and it was a great time! The lounge where the show was held is through the left when you enter and has a cool underground feel type of place. The rest is pretty standard, there's the bar area with booths and then a sports room with pool tables. Bartenders made great recommendations. Restrooms were clean. Location is nice since it's in a strip mall/plaza there is plenty of parking. read more

Polo Lounge - Music outside on Friday and Saturday - Lounges Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came here with a group of friends on a Friday evening. We arrived pretty early, so there were not too many people here. We went to the back area, near the stage, so that we could grab a booth and some extra chairs to support our group. We all ordered drinks at the bar, which were made to everyone's satisfaction. The band wasn't schedule to start until about 9:30. However, about 9:15 they started playing music and displaying music videos from the 80s and now. The music wasn't so loud that we couldn't continue to talk. We left before the band, so I cannot comment on how they were. Overall, not a bad place to come to for a drink and to spend time chatting it up with friends. read more

Great place to hang out. Awesome band played last weekend. Kathy Lantz and sugar high!

Ambiance is a stretch but the staff are wonderful and there is always something fun happening. Whether it's art class, keraoke, live music and wild dancing. Great bartenders too! read more

Seems this is our go to place for a good time. If you love to dance, this is the place to be. They have a well rounded assortment of music, that will have your feet tapping in no time. Then to prove you have those Michael Jackson moves, get up on your feet and show your talent to the person next to you. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves here. I recommend you head out on a Friday night, as that is when they have the DJ, or live band. We were there for the Heidi Incident.. Great music. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is fun. They have zebra striped high booths. You can feel like a lounge lizard sitting there. On Wednesday night they had a Burlesque show. It was campy, and entertaining. The decor plays to the polo theme with pictures of celebrities. It has an old time vibe. I heard that they have karaoke and live bands on other nights. read more

Friendly place! The bartenders are awesome, attentive. Karaoke is a blast here. Live music rocks, too. Women's restroom is fastidiously clean. There's no smoke in the bar, which makes for an enjoyable, clean-breathing, cosy time while you're there. Ask about the history of the place- it's fascinating. read more

Revisited this place as it's been a few years and was surprised to see it had expanded again ( from the Corkroom days) and was so glad to see it jumping with a variety of ages.! So nice to have billiards, a bar and on the other side a dance floor w/great music and so many dancing and having fun! Will return!!! read more

This place is wonderful! We walked through the door of this bar located in a strip mall and found ourselves in a clean, beautifully attended to bar! You can feel the attention and care there! We loved the statues and photos decorating the place! Jack, the bartender, was personable and friendly. We came in on a Friday afternoon to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. It was the perfect place for this, including the complimentary meatballs with Jack's marinara. Yum!!!!Who does this anymore? We recommend this place highly! read more
