Gin and tonic/ Pilsner
Breanne C.

Thank goodness for date nights so we can try new places. We started the night at RPH and enjoyed a cocktail/beer. The bartender was attentive and I liked the vibes inside. Bonus, people could bring their dogs (dog fan ). Great walking distance to lots of restaurants. We'll be cal back on another date night!

Sweet music tonight

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.

Old fashioned

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!

1864 Tavern is a great spot for delicious cocktails for intimate gatherings or larger groups. Most…read morerecently, I visited with a group of 10 for a birthday celebration. 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.

I really appreciate the follow-up--it shows that customer feedback matters and that they care about making things right. First impressions are important, and so is how a business responds afterward. I live in Southern California, but I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in Reno. Thank you for taking the time to reach out!

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 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.
