Very unique bar with a 1920's feel. Love the location close enough to downtown but far enough away to not get stuck in traffic. Both bartenders were very attentive and knowledgeable of the drink menu, readily able to suggest alternative drinks for ones that they did not have on the menu. The DJ was a nice touch, and having an eclectic collection of books to read while enjoying the vibes was much appreciated. Not sure if food is served here but would visit again to try! read more

I had been to Shim's several years ago, and I returned last night, on a Wednesday, with a couple of friends. Previously you had to enter in the back from an alley, since they were going for the speak-easy vibe and had a facade of a surplus store in the front. Now you can enter in the front and it actually looks like a bar from the outside. I think it's quite nice inside, kind of a late 1920's feel and decor with low lighting and ornate fixtures. They have booths and tables, as well as plenty of bar seating; the bar is quite long. They do have a stage and we were told they have live entertainment. Among the tables they have a variety of games to play. We were very pleased to learn that they allow dogs! On Wednesdays they have all-night happy hour with 2 for 1 drafts (including some wine selections and a cider option) and well drinks. I'm not a cocktail gal, but this seems like the place to grab a cocktail and feel swanky. The bartender was super nice and friendly. I don't venture downtown often, but I'll be back! read more

Great local Bar, they've recently dropped the speak easy design, as it seemed to be costing them visitors. The bartender was a super friendly British chap, I forget his name unfortunately but he alone was worth the visit! I used to come here a lot when it was 3rd Street, and it looks very similar, but with a nicer bar setup. Stage is still here, would be fun to see a live show here again, will be keeping my eye out for future shows. Great selection of beers on tap, all in all great stop downtown when looking for a cool place to chill and have a drink. read more

Shims still isn't getting the glass right. I returned to Shims last Friday after some friends invited me and ordered a whiskey. The bartender suggested Ardbeg, a high-end single malt I've had and enjoyed before, so I went with it. I also asked for a glass of water on the side. What surprised me was that he served the water a Glencairn glass--the kind used for whisky--and the whiskey came in a wide-mouth tumbler. I was surprised to see that they finally had the Glencairn but didn't use it for its purpose. I mentioned that the Glencairn is the proper glass for whisky and asked if he would put the whiskey in it. Rather than simply honoring the request, the bartender insisted that I was wrong and that he personally prefers to drink whisky from a water tumbler. He eventually made the switch after I insisted but not without letting me know he'd "been bartending for 17 years," clearly irritated that I had asked and then proceeded to ignore me. Is it too much to just accomodate the customer, when I'm paying good money for a premium single malt? I expect to enjoy it in the proper glass--especially when the right glass is already in front of us. Whisky isn't just about taste; it's about aroma, and a tumbler just doesn't deliver that experience. I left feeling more uncomfortable than welcomed. A good bar should be about hospitality, not ego. I'd give Shims a 1 but they had a keyboard player and he was good. read more

Love to come here for a drink with friends and family. Nick is always great with making drinks, conversation, magic and the occasional dad joke . They continue to have seasonal drink specials and music to enjoy. Will continue to make this a place to visit. read more

I really enjoy this place! Over the years it's been so many names, but the past few years while it's been shim's I've really enjoyed it. The bartenders are always so incredibly friendly and low-key. They have good beers and wines in addition to a full bar. I like the way they still honor the blues and jazz roots of this establishment, the art is pretty cool. Every now and then there's live music on a modest stage. I wish they opened just an hour earlier in the weekdays so I could make this a happy hour spot post-office. read more

Went for happy hour and enjoyed the ambiance and cheaper drinks. Stayed too late in a Monday and got bullied by the poets.

I came here to see a show Saturday night. I love the vibe in here. Very dark and cozy. Lots of seats and a good size bar. They have a lot of beers and wine. As well as specialty cocktails. Pop by and catch a show! I had a great time read more

Decided to bar hop today and came upon this spot because of the yelp reviews... The ambience was very cool, speakeasy style for sure, but I was expecting to walk through a hardware store and then be guided to the speakeasy... just the front/outside of the bar looked like a hardware store and then as soon as you enter, the speakeasy! Today there was a Sunday sips day and the old fashioned and Manhattan were $2 off so we gave them both a try... the drinks were okay. For $10 each after the discount, Wasn't too bad for the price. When I asked the bartender which type of Manhattan he would recommend, he said " it's up to you" , I guess the one from the menu and the traditional drink were different so I had him differentiate them and tried the Mahogany Manhattan( one from the menu). The drink was underwhelming, for my flavor profile. But like I mentioned not bad for $10. They do have some private booths, which are cool for smaller parties and some games and tvs in the booths themselves. read more

Beautiful bar, delicious hand crafted cocktails. Impeccable service. Went to a comedy night. The comics were just awful. Most could barely string a sentence together let alone illicit a chuckle. It was awkward and painful to watch. Then when they could actually scab a joke together it was easy pop shots that were so racist the people sitting next to us left. Nothing funny, just crude and revolting. This was billed as a professional comedy night when in reality it was an open mic for several extreme amateus to work on raw material (from crib notes) in front of a crowd. We should have boo"d them off the stage. So, heads up - enjoy a cocktail here, but skip the "entertainment". read more

Thank GOD for this place. Honestly, it might be the only thing downtown Reno has going for it (besides the occasional accidental art installation involving a broken slot machine and crushed dreams). Shims is a vibe. A groovy, fun, chill, and well-kept little haven that feels like someone finally said, "Hey, what if we made a bar in Reno that doesn't feel like sadness and stale beer?" And then they actually DID IT. You walk in and immediately feel like you've been let in on a cool little secret--probably because it's a speakeasy and that's the whole point. But also because it's just that good. The bartenders? Absolute legends. The kind of people who can whip you up a killer cocktail and make you laugh so hard you snort a little (which, at Shims, is completely acceptable behavior). The bathrooms? SPOTLESS. Like, I'm-not-afraid-to-set-my-purse-down spotless. And the events? Oh honey, the events. Live music, community hangs--you name it. It's like they actually care about creating a space for people to connect, instead of just feeding the slot machine beast of despair. Bottom line: If you're in Reno and not at Shims, what are you even doing with your life? 5 stars. Would hide out from reality here again. read more

I've been to speakeasy lounges in other cities and I think the concept is really cool. The wife found this one in Reno so we planned a visit. This lounge nails the concept. It's in an old brick building with a fake storefront. The "secret" entrance is in the alley behind the building and is marked as deliveries only. The interior has exposed brick walls, tin tile ceilings, leather couches, privacy booths, a stage, and a long bar. It definitely feels like stepping into a prohibition era building. Another hallmark of a good speakeasy is the drink menu and bartenders. Our host was definitely a character-cracking jokes while skillfully pouring drinks. The bar serves beer, wine, and signature cocktails. I ordered a whiskey sour, the wife tried the Pom-pine mule. Both were fantastic. You can taste quality mixers, it's not just spirits and sugar water. During our visit, singer-guitarist Jason King performed. His soulful performance definitely added to the ambiance and made it feel more like an event. We will definitely check the schedule and plan to return for more live music. read more

After a visit to San Diego and finding a great Speakeasy we came home and wanted to find a local one. I was surprised to see that Reno had a few. We decided to try this one out last night and it did not disappoint! To the "alleyway back door service" entrance to the dimly lit establishment it gave off an exclusive vibe. Specialty drinks were not only delicious they were pretty fancy looking too!! They also offer mocktails (you still have to be 21+ so these are kid flavored mocktails, fancy drinks minus the alcohol) and also offer a few hot drinks as well as beer and wine. They do have events so I suggest checking out their website (or Facebook page) to see what they have going on. They had live music last night. A single musician Jason King. He was great! He took me back to the 90's! The bartenders were great as well. Very friendly and loved one liner jokes!! I highly recommend checking this place out for yourself. Whether it's a date night or large group you are sure to have a great time! read more

A fantastic Reno pub! This place is so much fun and the bartenders are so wonderfully friendly. If Sir Nicholas is behind the bar, you are in for a real treat. We really enjoyed chatting with him when the bar was slow, debating what is a "real" snakebite. They have a great selection of craft beer on tap, a full bar and lots of non-alcoholic options. I had a wonderful old fashioned and nice cold beers & ciders from the taps. They had some fantastically creative brunch cocktails as well, including a glass of champagne with a popsicle in it! Try the poor man's Black Velvet (Guiness & Strongbow), it's my favorite. They have DJ Trivia on Sunday evenings, lots of board games and giant Jenga. read more

There's neo-swing Postmodern Jukebox and Squirrel Nut Zippers on the sound system. A gramophone sits on the bar, but it's faux (aka, Bluetooth-enabled). Door that faces the street is an emergency-only exit. Shim's Surplus Supply Co. is on the front windows, which feature displays of surplus goods. Owners created the displays, sourcing goods from antiques and fabric stores, surplus suppliers and donations. A sign indicates "deliveries in back," which is the entrance. Disabled-friendly Has live music, poetry readings and board games Bathroom was clean Has tasty mocktails (sadly, same price as cocktails though hence 4 stars not 5) Friendly clientele. We met a nice and smart class of people here. Music is at a level that doesn't blow out your hearing so you can easily talk with others Did it for the price they quoted us Did it within the time they said they would Customer service was stoic-sanguine adequate with moments of thoughtful and erudite No automatic gratuity was added to the bill No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business The owners of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population.

For my Customer Rule is: Always patronize again a business that has treated you well AND supports Veterans and Active Duty with a publicly disclosed daily Military and Veterans Discount. Volunteer US Navy World War II Veteran, civil rights activist, singer, actor, songwriter, superstar, humanitarian, and member of The Greatest Generation, American Harry Belafonte recently died at age 96. He was one of more than a million black Americans who Honorably Served in US military during World War II. After leaving the US Navy with an Honorably Discharge, Belafonte moved to New York City where he used his GI Bill to pay for classes at The New School Dramatic Workshop. His fellow acting students included future actors Marlon Brando and Sidney Poitier, who became a lifelong friend. To supplement his income while attending acting classes, Belafonte sang at nightclubs at times backed by what were to become music legends, including jazz musicians Charlie Parker, Max Roach and Miles Davis. Belafonte starred in several films, most notably "Carmen Jones" (1954), "Island in the Sun" (1957) and "Odds Against Tomorrow" (1959). In 1968, he made history substituting for Johnny Carson as guest host for "The Tonight Show." Among his guests were his close friends Martin Luther King, Jr. and US Senator Robert F. Kennedy, US Naval Reserve during World War II (both who would later be murdered). Sergeant Medgar Evers, US Army volunteer, World War II Normandy Landing participant, Honorable Discharge, returned home only to face daily discrimination and paid the ultimate price for his fight to uphold his oath to US Constitution. In 1944, at the age of 18, he volunteered for Service in US Army. While Serving in England and France, Technician Fifth Grade Evers grew frustrated with the demeaning treatment that he and other black Servicemembers received while Honorably Serving their country. He resolved to return to his home state of Mississippi and fight for the rights of black Americans. Shortly after Evers was Honorably Discharged in 1946, he and his brother led a group of black Veterans to the Newton County courthouse in Decatur to register to vote. Evers' small group was met by armed white men who threatened the Honorably Discharged Veterans with violence. Undeterred, Evers continued to advocate for the full citizenship rights of black Americans. The later murder of Honorably Discharged Evers, one of the nation's most prominent civil rights activist shocked many. Evers was laid to rest with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery. 3,000 attended the ceremony. Cover of Life magazine then bore the image of Myrlie Evers comforting her surviving bereaved read more

Fun speakeasy-style watering hole in the heart of downtown Reno. Hint...enter from the back. The front is decorated as a supply store, but inside is a warm, welcoming establishment. Beautiful bar, tables, and booth seating are available. With many local brews on tap, a nice wine selection, and specialty cocktails as well as a full bar, this a great place to meet up with friends. The close proximity to downtown makes this a nice first stop....or final place to end the evening. I have not been for the Sunday cocktail specials, but they sound wonderful. My favorite is DJ Trivia on Sunday evenings, but this place is always a good stop. read more

Great drinks, but not much past that. It used to have the niche market of a speakeasy where you would enter through the back, and it felt like a secret spot that only locals knew about but not anymore. Ambiance is fun, but service could be better. read more

Grew up in Reno and somehow never heard of this place even though it's reviewed so highly on here! Some old friends were visiting from out of town and wanted to check out this bar. It actually wasn't too great for catching up as they had live music that was quite loud so we were screaming across the table pretty much. BUT the singer was amazing and everyone else in the bar very mesmerized by her voice! Just wasn't the setting for our specific group. There was a good mix of people - us trying to catch up, some people there for the music, some people playing giant Jenga, others chilling at the bar. The bar is right behind El Dorado parking garage and actually pretty easy to miss but it adds to the speakeasy atmosphere! Decorated very nicely. Small but cute! Drinks were great too and staff friendly! read more

I think this was my third time in...previously the other two were during wine walks so I know a bit different. This time was for a special event! They had a cupcake and cocktail pairing- with local Batch cupcakery. I arrived a few people seated but wanted to wait for my friend so we could start together. I know there was just one bartender handling the soon to be surmounting amount of people coming in and ordering the pairing. So we stayed patient and he was nice enough to come over with the tray of drink- beautifully set up as a double pairing. I thought each pair was well thought out, some drinks were spicy for me but I still enjoyed them. I appreciate that although the place was super busy we still were described each item's flavor as well as pairing. The atmosphere itself is very sleek and mysterious with various booths for small groups, with curtain closing, and just an overall neat bar. I would definitely come in for another event or just to hang out and try the large table jenga! read more

Slow night but didn't stop us from getting drinks at shims after our show. Me and my fiancé we're designated drivers for our group. So we ordered a diet pop. Needless to say, music was on point, my friends did in fact enjoy their drinks, especially the grapefruit crush. We ordered 2 diet cokes. We got our soda cans and cups of ice and sat with our friends. The tops of the soda cans were dirty/filthy. For 3$ a can I would appreciate at least a courtesy wipe or clean of the top of the can. My fiancé also noticed her cup was still dirty. Needless to say, not the best experience for my first time here. Music was nice though read more

From the fake front supply store, to the secret entrance in the alley, Shim's Surplus Supplies whispers "speakeasy" to those in the know. Upon entering through the utilitarian service entrance, the vestiges of a by-gone era become apparent - a long corridor with vintage prints and guided mirrors against a stone grey wall and a velvet curtain at the end. What could be behind the curtain? Pushing aside the curtain, a huge wooden bar well stocked with bottles of liquor openly displayed against the brick wall. No passwords required. All are welcome to imbibe and sit and visit. Lots of seating and lots of seating options are available. Stools line the long wooden bar where one can sit and watch the talented bartenders work their magic. There are tables and chairs in front of the small stage where jazz is performed live. (yessssss) In the back are private booths. No questions asked, no secrets shared. All is cool at Shim's The drinks, while pricy, are top notch. Traditional old fashioned, martini, or something special. Their Sunset Sour was a great option and a nice twist on a traditional whisky sour. Wine and a huge selection of beer on tap are also available. Great addition to the downtown bar scene - so cool it's hot! read more

What a neat little spot to stop in and grab a drink! They feature a handful of local draft beers and some fancy cocktails. I think they could use a more plentiful cocktail menu but what they had still got the job done. They have a huge variety of alcohol so they could likely make whatever you want, we stuck to what was on the menu and it didn't disappoint. Staff were friendly and they had live music when we went. The booths with the curtains were a nice touch and the decor in general fit what they were trying to accomplish. If you haven't been, you need to stop in! read more

We met a friend from out of town here at about 6:30pm on a Friday. My wife had been wanting to check this place out. Our friend arrived a bit before us and was not sure how to get in. He went to the front door and called us. We told him that it is like a speakeasy and to go around to the back which is where he found the deliveries entrance. The door opened and he said he was good. We arrived a short time later and joined him through the back entrance. When you walk in, it is like a short hallway with a dark curtain at the end. It appears you are walking into the working area of a business. After walking through the black curtains it is full blown bar themed from the times of prohibition. You need to check this out, even the bartenders appear to be in period. We each had a drink and some good conversation but decided to get something to eat. So, we left for another stop. We think this is a really cool themed bar but really wish they were able to do some sort of food. read more

This place is really really special. It totally looks like a general store, and somewhere I would never go or figure out if not taken by someone who's been. Which makes it really "underground" and unique. Inside, I was greeted by live music, really beautiful setup, and a ton of happy people. I was really impressed with the fast service, considering it was a Saturday with a lot of customers. I ordered a speciality drink off their menu. I wish I could remember the name, it was delicious! It was a gin drink. There are booths with curtains which is a nice way to keep your party intimate. They also provide games like jenga which is always a good time, especially while you're drinking. I will definitely be back, and am excited to show friends this new cool spot! read more

I've heard about Shim's several times, and was happy we finally got to try it out on a lazy Sunday. The theme is a speak easy style location, which fronts as an army supply store, but in reality is a throwback prohibition style bar. The owner wanted to keep things classic speakeasy so to speak, and I found the decor to be very in line with that. Exposed brick lines most of the walls, along with some accents of elegant wall paper. The bar is very big with plenty of seating (and comfy chairs) and there are also a lot of tables to hang out at. At the back of the bar there are private booths which are more private if you want some extra space. Not a ton of standing room with all the seating, but I don't think that's the vibe this place was going for. We happened to be here when the owner (Zach) was on site and we really enjoyed talking to him and hearing about the different types of beers. They have a full bar and some cool specialty cocktails. Prices are a little expensive for drinks, beers are $8, even ones that are brewed by Brewer's Cabinet, which is co-owned by the owner of Shim's. The cocktails we got were are $11, most wines are over $10. They also have a small stage and bring in musicians on a weekly basis. Overall this was a very intimate chill place to get a drink, but might be a little expensive for a "go to" bar on a regular basis. read more

Fun and stylish speakeasy with a proper backdoor entry. The staff were dapperly dressed and ready with a humorous comment and a nicely crafted cocktail. When we first entered, the bartender was showing a magic trick to the guests already seated at the bar. We took our seats in one of the booths which was roomy and comfortable and had a privacy curtain (we referred to it as a snug). The gentleman behind the counter made a nice drink and was quite entertaining and witty throughout our time there. The decor and ambience had a nice prohibition feel with bookcases with classic books, a gramophone, and other nice little touches. We stayed a bit longer and a jazz band took the stage. They sounded great and the whole visit and ambience was really enjoyable. I would go back for the music, ambience, and cocktails, no doubt! read more

My boyfriend had been wanting to try Shim's Surplus Supplies for quite a long time. We finally went in to check it out! We went in the evening and it was pretty nice inside. I didn't notice any windows so it felt just slightly closed in. I didn't feel like the drink menu had much that appealed to me but I did still find something to drink. The beer menu even felt a little limited. They have some chairs to sit at near the bar and they do have some larger booths for big groups. The booths do have curtains so if you're looking for a more private experience, those are there. I would go back again to check it out. The staff was nice and really tried to help us find something. :) read more

Checked this place out after reading about it from the Reno Foodies page on Facebook/ The Reno Gazette article. My boyfriend and I went Sunday afternoon before dinner after we went over the riddle on where to find it (I'll put it below my review). When we found it it made sense to the area as it was nice and close to downtown. The interior inside felt like old time "classy" with the updated bar and wood interior. My favorite part of it was the private booths in the back (one being the giant Jenga area) and the many other leather seatings. they also have a bookcase of other games to play. Perfect place for a date night has a couple or with friends! My boyfriend had the Mahogany Manhattan drink and I had the The Brumble. Both were nice drinks for any time of tastes. We will definitely be back as we have made this "our spot" lol The riddle goes: " Shim's speakeasy lies across from a king reborn, in the shadow of the city of gold. Near a painting without a frame, behind a door that's not a door. Iron horses gallop by." read more

Awesome speakeasy find while we wait for Kwoks. The store front won't give you access, need to walk to the back of the "shop". Even in yelp, you couldn't find it as a bar. The one bartender came from Boubon and Branch in SF. The other has an awesome accent. They are talented bartenders. Try anything from an old fashioned, their wine, or any speciality cocktail on their menu. Plenty of comfy seating here. Never got too crowded with live music at night. Awesome spot right next to the casino strip. read more

I saw this in an video posted on Reno Tahoe Instagram page and had to check it out (I'm a sucker for cute little speakeasy's). I understand the concept of a speakeasy but some places make it way too exclusive (which makes it no fun) so I enjoy that Shim's doesn't do that. If you go on their website or check out some of the other reviews, they let you know to go to the back door that says "deliveries only". So it's still kind of hidden and fun! Once you go in, you head down a hall and it opens up to this space. They have nice decor and cute ambiance. Plenty of different drinks to choose from. I got a cider and it was refreshing but the other drinks on the menu also looked great - plan on trying in the future. There's a stage where they host poetry night and live music. There's booths towards the back that have curtains you can close for some privacy and also have some fun board games. Overall, I loved this little speakeasy and definitely recommend to those looking for a cute space to meet up/chat with friends while enjoying a nice drink. read more

Shim's - Booth area - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I love a good cocktail bar and Shim's really basks in the speakeasy theme. The "front door" of the bar won't open to you so you really do need to enter in the back alley. The bar setup is super clean, the bartenders are friendly and there is a ton of seating in there! The drinks are about $10 each so really you aren't breaking the bank with delicious, well-made, craft cocktails. The menu is simple but the amount of alcohol behind the bar leads to the plenty of drink innovation. As well, if you have a drink you truly love, order it on up and let the bartenders make t something special for you. There are plenty of seats and some booths to sit in with your company to enjoy a drink. Plus you get to take your time and really enjoy the feeling of having a great drink and enjoying something different in Reno. read more
