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.

Very nice range of drinks (the pornstar and mistress are my favorite), bartenders are really kind, chill and super helpful if you're unsure what to order. (I appreciated that a lot since I wasn't familiar with bars at first) The ambiance is casual and fantastic, and I enjoy the seasonal drinks they offer. I also love the FOOD!! Nothing I love more than dropping in for grilled cheese nights on Tuesdays (Wednesday slider night is also great), food isn't cheap but for a fun night out I don't mind at all. Highly recommend the maple crème brûlée as well!

Sat at the bar and really enjoyed talking with Jo! She was so nice and really made us feel welcomed at the bar. The bathrooms are also very clean as well. There is apparently a rooftop, but we stayed downstairs since it was a weeknight. Definitely love the vibe here and will be back next time I'm in Reno!

We visited The Chapel Tavern in Midtown Reno and it was genuinely one of the best experiences ever…read more The bartender was fantastic and made the visit memorable by creating custom drinks based on our alcohol preferences which was such a fun and personal touch. 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 odd location adds to the charm and speakeasy feel. The owners are extremely friendly and have done an awesome job creating a true Tiki Lounge atmosphere transporting you back to the olden days of Hawaii. Drinks are strong and good and reasonably priced for the atmosphere bonus you are getting. Live music frequently available too. They've thought of everything. Only thing missing is pupus. No food here. But the Indian Restaurant next door will deliver a plate to you. You'll know when Happy Hour starts (4-6) as the lights turn red for a while at the beginning.

The doors open into an pocket sized oasis right here in our own dry AF high-desert air; a dimly lit collection of tropical plants, puffer fish, ukelele music and aloha shirts. Its like a fever dream - the lovechild of Elvis Hawaiian movies and a trippy classic Disneyland ride, punctuated by neon and heavy cigarette smoke. The drink menu is extensive & eccentric. The establishment's proprietor, Dr. Shocker, perpetually clad in floral print and signature straw hat, is a fixture at the corner of the bar. He tells great stories. This is a true Reno hidden gem, and harkens to a simpler era of the classic Tiki bar, strong drinks, and living on island time. Go get drinks, get some samosas from next door...and get an Uber home. You'll need it.

The bartenders were genuinely welcoming and made the experience even better. I also loved the indoor/outdoor seating, which creates the perfect spot to hang out with friends. Parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's in Midtown, but don't let that stop you. This place is absolutely worth the effort. I'll definitely be back!

This was my second visit to the White Rabbit Theatre, the first being the Yelp event to see "That's…read moreMagic!". This time was to see the adults-only, 18+, 9 PM magic show called "Nocturnal" The vibes here on a Saturday night were great! It was a busy show, and the bar was packed! The drinks here are so fun. Their specialty cocktail menu has lots of magic-inspired cocktails, plus they have a full bar with beer, wine, soft drinks, and other beverage choices. You can bring all beverages into the theatre while watching the show, which is great! They do have some small snack options, but the food isn't anything special, and I'd recommend eating before or after the show. The Nocturnal show was great. The comedy is hilarious, and Chase is a great performer. The dances from the showgirls in this show are much more risque, with lots of skin showing and lingerie. Some of the illusions and tricks are carried over from the "That's Magic!" show, but there are also some tricks that I hadn't seen before. The value is pretty good. It's about $40 per ticket for a non-obstructed seat. Unfortunately, this venue has a large pillar in the center aisle, making some seats cheaper "obstructed view seats". There is a locals discount and a discount if you are staying at the GSR. Like most magic shows, I think this show is a one-and-done. It's worth going again if you really want to bring family or friends, but otherwise just spend the money to see "That's Magic!" and "Nocturnal" each once. They are both worth it! I am disappointed in myself for not taking photos, though in my defense, there are no photos or videos allowed during the show!

Every night, they host "that's magic", which is a family, friendly illusion, and variety show, and then also on Friday and Saturday, they host their late show "nocturnal", which also has amazing illusions, as well as more adult humor, and some very beautiful dancers. Both are hosted by the husband and wife, duo of Chase and. Kayleigh. I saw the "nocturnal" show, and I loved it. . Chase is the MC, and he also does illusions from slieight of hand, to illusions such as cutting a woman from the audience in half without a box, and a great straitjacket, escape, ala, Harry Houdini. The jokes are fast and furious, and definitely adult oriented, there is a lot of interaction with the audience, and bringing audience members on stage. There's never a dull moment. The dancers are beautiful, and yes, a little provocative, but definitely not dirty. The show never slows down. It's a 90 minute show with a 15 minute intermission, and it's entertaining from the beginning until the end. The price for the show is very reasonable, but they get you with both the cocktails, and the snack bar for the theater. I bought a small thing of popcorn, and a 20 ounce soda, and I was out 16 bucks. That's a bit ridiculous. Other than that, the show was amazing. Thank you for a fantastic evening....
