Sweet music tonight
Peter H.

Reno Public House always slips my mind as a destination, but I'm always pleased when I happen to walk by and decide to pop in. My Wife and I were on our way home from dinner and decided to stop in for a drink. There was a DJ on the back patio playing some good tunes and we each had a draft beer and enjoyed the night air and music. The bartender was quick to take our order, and was friendly. Lot's of good drink options to choose from, it's a cool cocktail bar but not pretentious like others I've gone to in town. The back patio is great for a nice summer evening, you can't go wrong adding this to the list of local bars to try out when you are in town!

Great place to grab a drink! Nice indoor and outdoor vibe. Indoor is aesthetically pleasing with very mellow lighting. There are booths to sit at or bar seating. Very clean with nice bathrooms. Great drink menu and beers on tap. I prefer the outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Patio is enclosed, has nice greenery, lights and table seating. Great location in midtown, but not on the busy street.

We stopped in here for a drink before walking around midtown. The bar was full when we arrived. Plenty of low and high tables available. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean although dimly lit. They have one video game available to use. It was a nice place. Good variety of drink options.

Loving the greenery and fresh open spaces of the Public House. There is ambiance in this place, cute plant life!

Very cute ambiance and plant life. The sours are amazing and the company and vibe- yes!

Reno Public House is a very nice and cozy neighborhood bar in Midtown Reno. I came here to have a couple of Reissdorf Kölsch beers (4.8%). This is light tasty beer. The Bartender was very nice and the service was great. If you love beer and you're visiting or live in Reno, I highly recommend you visit this place.

Friendly and casual. Good craft beer selection. No food so grab a bite before or after

I've always loved this bar. It is incredibly underrated IMHO, and that's ok because it means more space for me to hang. For one, the location is perfect. North end of midtown, walking distance to restaurants and other bars and shops, parking surrounding the business, make this a home run. I like the small outdoor patio here. The high walls help you forget you're surrounded by other buildings and cars whizzing past. The interior is chill. There are long communal public tables with bar stools to sit at, and I enjoy seeing who is going to end up sitting with me when I choose this area. The bar is long and offers seating as well, and there are even a few small nooks with more intimate seating options as well. But we are here for the drinks, and these never let down and the prices are hard to believe, in a good way! I stick to the classics, and they make a mean old fashioned. Their spirits selection is diverse and they do have quite a few allocated bottles, and price per pour is typically reasonable too! This is such a solid local spot and I'm glad a special event brought me in again. I need to visit more often.

Another great bar! If there's one thing Reno excels at, it's bars. Reno Public House comes swaggering in with a mellow chill vibe, high quality drinks, and the ability to bring your well behaved pooch along for the ride. The first time I came to Reno Public House it was with my colleague who loves Reno and Nevada so much she cries when she hears Home Means Nevada. So when she brought me here to have a "really good Manhattan" I was ready to be impressed. Spoiler: I was. Last night, on a blustery winters eve I wanted to do happy hour with my friend but I wanted to bring my dog. Being my dogs pet giver is 30% of my personality. So my friend brought my here! Too my delight, the worlds cutest pooch was allowed inside! She was a good girl and gave out wags to all the patrons. To beat the cold I had a tasty mulled wine. 5 stars for good drinks, great vibes, and a price point that your grandad would approve of.

El Cortez
Allegra G.

I really enjoy the vibe of Reno Public House. It is very laidback and feels a little dive-y but has nice amenities and features wonderful drinks that are reasonably priced. The cocktail menu has changed since I last visited. I got the El Cortez which was incredible. It was the pretty summery drink that wasn't too sweet. I never thought apricot and mezcal would pair so perfectly! Our bartender added a little apricot stuffed with mint as the garnish which was such a cute touch. Can't wait to visit again soon!

This showed up on my Yelp feed (Another Yelp error) that implied my review never got posted?!?!…read more What?!?! Just found these photos that I posted in 2024! And my review hidden in my drafts... Anyway: Quality/Quantity - Parley 6 IPA - Supporting local. Smithwick's Irish Red - When in an Irish pub... Nice whiskey selection, but I have a show to watch at GSR later today and did not want to fall asleep, lol. Atmosphere - Small local pub. Friendly and welcoming. Small stage with live bands, see picture or website. Small parking lot, don't even bother, plenty of street parking. Open 5 days a week from 4pm to close. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Service - 6 stars. They welcomed our team. Approved us bringing in food (from Pizza Plus) for our event. The waitress and the bar service were perfect. Came and got our drink orders often. Price - HH $5 beers. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007. Our team has been regular customers since??? So I guess we will be coming here more often.

On a Thursday night we came in for some drinks and enjoyed a live Bluegrass band. The Bartender and server were both very attentive and we had a great time enjoying a draft beer while listening to the music. The decor and ambiance is Irish and fun, the overall setup is nice. Looks like they have a nice patio setup for use in the Summer. Look forward to catching another night of live music soon, and will be frequenting Ceol much more now that I know what I've been missing!

Hey there Party People…read more In Reno doing the Gambling thing as well as the SPA. Decided to branch out and try a locals favorite the Bighorn Tavern. The atmosphere is everything you would want from a local bar joint. Pool table, Dart boards nice outside patio with heaters. Appetizers were Onions Rings and Cheesy Garlic Bread. The Onion Rings were tempura style fresh made in house...no frozen bag crap here. For my husband they were a hair on the doughy side but they weren't greasy at all which a totally appreciate. The Garlic bread was tasty having a hard Toasted cheese top with the gooey cheese underneath and the flavor was spot on. I'm a dark beer drinker so I went for the MOOSE DROOL if you had to many the moose wouldn't be the only thing drooling . You can't go to a tavern and not try one of the drafts...that would just be wrong. Hubby had the Prime Rib sandwich thought it was tasty with the chimiruri sauce and provolone cheese. I had the Meatloaf melt. It was the bomb. Tons of grilled onions a total mess to eat but so worth it...just make sure to ask for extra napkins. It's a place worth driving to...hang with the locals and have a pint. Be kind to one another

The vibe is open and chill. We grabbed a few drinks and split some food. The portions are very generous. We decided on nachos, a chicken apple salad wrap and crispy Brussels sprouts. The massive wrap was packed with chicken, apple slices, cranberries and fresh lettuce. Seriously, it was better than I expected. The Brussels sprouts were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a hint of a maple glaze. Our server Chelsea was super friendly and served our food in a timely manner. Honestly, Mellow Fellow feels like a hidden gem. If you're in the area, especially around game time, it's worth checking out.

This is a fun little place to hang out in and can be enjoyed on a date, with friends, or even with the kiddos. Service here has always been great, always fast and attentive. Not only are the burgers great but the appetizers are quite the sight, the giant fried pretzel just looks absolutely ridiculous as the center piece to your table. Also weirdly enough the ketchup here, for some reason may be the best ketchup on earth... I can not wait to get some time to run back down to MF, eat some killer food, drink some local beers, and snap a bunch more pics to hopefully get more people enjoying this place.

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 grits were a bit runny (I prefer dryer grits) but tasty. My husband said the chicken tasted good, but was a bit overcooked. We shared a Tiramisu for dessert. We felt the food was good, but nothing swoon worthy considering the price. The atmosphere is cozy, but did not feel closterphobic. Is it worth a return visit? Yes.

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.

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!
