Here for the wing fest, which is a kick butt time but this place let us come in and get a table with a plate of wings to chill. We got green tea shooters. Not really a place we would attend but it gets the job done. read more

Walked in on a Sat night about 10p and sat at the bar. It was not busy. There were about 10 people scattered throughout. We sat there for a few minutes and watched the blonde bartender flirt and pay attention to a group of 5 guys sitting at the other end of the bar. She looked our way once and did not bother to acknowledge our presence. We waited a few more minutes and walked out. We will not go back. read more

I suppose my buddy found out about "Shooters" via social media. We were staying at the Silver Legacy, and he wanted to escape the casino environment for a while. Shooters was across the street. The store has a typical shoebox configuration: The wall facing the street has the front entrance, and any potential window. Inside, the walls are windowless. The front half of the floorplan has a long bar; the back half of the floorplan has space for pool tables. The bar is clean--but you can't deny that this is a dive bar. I think that my buddy was hoping that the beers here would be cheaper than in the casino. And while beers here cost a little less, they weren't dramatically less expensive. read more

Drinks were excellent! In Reno celebrating a birthday and Megan really took care of us. Outstanding customer service!!

We were looking for a dive bar and stumbled into this place. It's cute and clean. The service was awesome! Prices are great. We sampled a couple beers then chose a flat tire. It was a little smoky, but I'm just not used to smoking in bars anymore. Lol there are pool tables in the back. The restroom was clean and stocked. I highly recommend stopping in, if you are looking for a fun night. read more

Maya is the fucking goat. Excellent service and she let me use the bathroom after hours. Also met some great people here's shout out to John. Next time I come I'm definitely coming straight to the saloon. read more

If you're looking for a dive bar with great pours and great staff, this is it. I came in one a mellow Monday evening and got to enjoy myself for a while. The ladies behind the bar were sweet, attentive, and friendly, while having a pour worth the price and visit. It's for sure a saloon, with the saloon feel and aesthetic, so I was happy. Definitely give this place a try if you're in town and down to explore. read more

Shooters Saloon - Whiskey sour. - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Dive bar with no one inside. Not a lot of fun. Thought it would at least have people inside that dive bars are great for to mingle and drink. Was about 10pm on a Friday night and at most was about 10 sad looking people inside. Only went once and maybe other nights are better this was my one experience however. read more

Love shooters was there for street vibrations was great the girls/ bar tenders where great they where on the drinks and energy was amazing I will be definitely hitting shoots up agin this September it's my new fav spot read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Lady bartender was very intoxicated and so sloppy... shorts falling down and gut hanging out. Rude and inconsiderate. Couldn't make a simple drink request. Terrible service, terrible atmosphere, terrible drinks. Shooter's definitely missed the target by a long shot. read more

This is a great bar. I was in Reno for work and amid the casinos I was having a difficult time finding a proper bar. I stumbled on this little gem while walking around. I found myself here each night after work. The drinks are stiff and affordable and I met some very cool people here. read more

Scam artist bartenders. Won't give you a full receipt. They just said you owe $100. $100 even, not even like 101.45 or something. We definitely did not owe $100, so I asked to see itemized receipt. She brought a post it note that said "Beers X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X". So that apparently means $100. Stay away from these cons. read more

Had a good time. Friendly staff and customers. We got tired of the casinos and ended up here. The drinks were reasonably priced. I like dive bars and if you do also this is your place. read more

Who loves dive bars? This guyyy...I mean girl. But what makes Shooters Saloon different from the others? Even on a grossly barren Tuesday night (...it looked like a post-apocalyptic town...minus the destruction part), you'll more than likely have a good time here. The bartenders are Reno OG and feel no shame whipping up stiff drinks. I truly believe every day is created equal and if you come with a smile and bring the energy, it will be full-heartedly embraced. Kick back and have a drink...or shot. Fancy a game of billiards? Grab some pool cues and go to work! Feel like dancin? Pump the jukebox with some silvers and browse their music selection, which ranges from boot-stompin country to booty-bumpin hip-hop. Drunk as hell and need something to do? Snatch up the hoola-hoops from the wall and get crazy. No bullshit. Just an awesome dive bar. read more

For starters, let's get this out of the way, it's all in the name: "Shooters SALOON". And that's exactly what it is! It's not a lounge, not even a dive bar - this place is pure and simply an unadulterated saloon. That alone suggests several things: 1) People are not stopping here after work to discuss their stock portfolios. 2) The bartenders might be drinking more than you. 3) There will be fire. Personally, I can't believe that there are only 5 reviews previous to mine. I absolutely LOVE this place. When the night gets underway, it's simply chaos and mayhem! My friends and I have been coming here for well over 10 years and have seen the place go through some crazy (and tragic) times. On each and every one of our trips to Reno, this is a stop we don't even talk about - we just go. If it's the fire show you want to see, ask for a Flaming Dr. Pepper - and get out of the way. Last time we were there and we ordered a round, Jesse (bartender) lit the drinks on fire, along with everything else on the bar at the time - including his tips - and my friend Joe. It's OK, we put him out. He was fine. On one occasion, in our altered state, my friends and I walked out and forgot to pay for our final round. I came back a month later on another trip and told Jesse that I owe him for that round, he told me "Forget about it!" What's not to love?!?!? read more

Shooters Saloon - Seriously, what's not to love? - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Lovely bartender, and very nice and hospitable. Truly. We were looking for a country music bar and Yelp indicated this was one. Also, their alcohol selections are pretty much well and just above well is their top shelf. read more

Dive bar. Old-skool sofa with bits of stuffing falling out. Juke box. Bartenders that know how to whip 'em up strong (order a Red Bull and Vodka, and they'll put it in a pint glass, with only a tiny splash of Red Bull in it, "just for color," they say...) Some of the most classic clientele of people in downtown Reno. A misting machine over the front entrance, which you can often feel spraying your face a bit as you're walking by all the characters that hang outside of here and McDonald's next door asking people for money. Need I say more? This place is awesome! read more

Great dive bar. Very friendly bartenders who make strong drinks. Prices are cheap and they have a good selection of beer and liquor. Great location right across the street from The Row. Actually it is a better bar than anything in The Row, sadly. Best of all, cool people hang out here. read more

As far as I'm concerned, this is the only bar in downtown Reno. Cheap drinks (PBR tall cans are two bucks), super friendly staff, pool table, hula hoops, table hockey, and no slots at the bar! Debit/Credit cards are not accepted though, so bring cash. read more

Shooters Saloon - The bar! - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We hard a large group stop in after walking around after the groups were done bowling for the day. The bartender was friendly, but something was a little 'off' with her. I believe that she was trying to act younger than she was. She was running around the bar with Heeley's shoes and her pants were way too low around her hips...you can see her butt crack...so you can image the front of her. We asked what type of beer they had and the pointed to an upper shelf and said that everything was up there. The bar was dark...we couldn't see what they were. She did finally flip on the shelf light so we could see it. They are friendly to bowlers. They said they had bowling pins for the bowlers to sign, but all they had was the one for the women to sign....most of our group was men. They bar bought everyone in our group their second drink being bowlers. That was nice. The group played a few games on air hockey. I am not going to call it a dive bar or anything else. It was smokey...but all of the bars in that area like that are all smokey. We did stay quite awhile. Music was ok...country was the main focus. We do not plan on visiting the bar next time we're in town. Seemed like they were looking for a younger crowd...the youngest in our group was mid-30s (we had all ages). read more

I always stop in here after climbing at base camp in silver peak hotel. They have a wonderful beer on draft, lead dog blonde ale, and it's super refreshing after a hard climbing session! Will come back soon! read more

Shooters Saloon - Cold fresh beer! - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

It ain't pretty but if you want old school dirty Reno with a Dwight yoakam feel this is your place!

In a town that seems to invoke two-fisted drinking, fisticuffs and shenanigans lies a serious dive bar... Shooters Saloon. A place where the bar tenders are beyond feisty and can dish more harassment than you could possibly imagine. No joke- they might make you blush. The crowd here is a seriously diverse group. The second night there I sat next to a distinguished, noble dude sporting a cane and a tobacco pipe. Beyond him on the couch was a dude who was talking smack to the bar tender and then passed out on the couch in the entry way (check the photos). The bottom line- they pour stiff drinks, the jukebox pumps out some decent tunes and the bartenders are entertainment enough. So grab a stool, don't linger over your drink and enjoy the excess that is Reno. read more

Worst bar I have ever been to. The service was not so good. I asked for a Greyhound and got who knows what with coke. She was apologetic, but the place seemed a little seedy to me. I would not recommend it. read more

OMG... this place, lol. So CLEARLY its a go to spot for the locals. The first time we went in, the owner lady gave us shots cause she was happy there were actually females in her bar. The next time we went in (a year later, lol) she didn't even acknowledge us in her bar and seemed rather comfy strutting her stuff in front of all the men cliental who were so wasted and obnoxious. The place is definitely a sausage fest, but they do have decent beer on tap and a pool table. Come here if you'd like, play a game of pool and people watch. read more

My GF and I don't gamble, but we both love metal and dive bars. I've been here three nights in a row. The first night coulda been bad but it turned out okay. Other than that, the bartender has been solid, the beer is cold and reasonably priced, and the music is blasting. Thank you Shooters. We'll be back read more

Shooters is a great place to go. I've been here several times recently and in the past. Good fun down-to-earth environment. Just what I needed when I moved here. I've been here with my husband a few times recently and we always had a great time. Highly recommended read more

Just your run of the mill dive bar. In my humble opinion I'd go somewhere else, as this bar can be really shady at times. It's right next door to the downtown McDonald's and there are always homeless and alcoholics hanging out front begging for change sometimes aggressively. Also if you're not spending an overly ton of money in the bar and just want one or two drinks I found it the bartenders to be not as friendly as other bars. I don't live too far just a couple blocks from the bar but it seems like I'm always seeing the police there too. So feel free to try it out and see how you like it these are just my opinions and they also want to make sure that I'm clear on the fact when I say shady I mean other patrons I do know that the bar is honest. read more

We love Dive Bars and we visited Shooters Saloon on our first night in town which was a Friday, we enjoyed it very much, great crowd, good music, excellent Bartender and decent prices. We closed out our trip on a Monday night here as well. Thanks Shooters read more

Another dirty dive bar in Reno right across the street from Circus Circus. They had a pretty interesting juke box that would cause the faint of heart to immediately enter cardiac arrest. It was pretty much nothing but heavy metal and gangster rap. When I say "gangster," I mean the real shit. The kinda stuff that makes NWA look like the musical cast of RENT. They also had warm beer. Not my bag, but I imagine if someones looking to slug a Budweiser in less than 15 seconds, warm is the way to go. The female bartender was a bit of an exhibitionist as well, which made the room full of dudes pretty stoked. It seemed like a bit of a coincidence that there "so happened" to be about 30 guys in the bar and no women. Then, it "so happened" that a light by the front door needed to be changed. Then, she "so happened" to be wearing a short skirt with no panties while standing on a chair to reach the ceiling. Reno! read more

My favorite dive bar in Reno! We always start here for a pre-gambling buzz - the casinos drinks are weak - and end here afterward - either to celebrate our success or drown our losing tears. The bartenders are darling and have a bit of Coyote Ugly flavor. Love the animal print upholstered furniture, the hand painted daisys on the bright pink bathroom walls, the pool table and the stiff long islands that make me appreciate being within walking distance of our hotel! Wish this place was within walking distance of my house. read more

Very friendly bartenders. Pool tables are in good shape. They don't serve food but have no problem if you bring in food from outside, like the McDonald's next door is a great snack to have. Jukebox is A+ and it's location to all the casinos is great read more

Came here during the Street Vibrations biker rally; place was always packed with a fun crowd. My girlfriend and I danced on the bar and had a blast! Drinks were stiff and reasonably priced, staff was friendly and the atmosphere was rowdy saloon chic. Definitely a fun place...if you're looking for a small dive-bar feel in the midst of all the casinos, this is your spot! read more

Ah, Shooters, how wonderfully cheap and fun you are. 3 gin and tonics, a Coors Light, and a shot of Jameson - $21. Gotta love Reno. They decorated the place for Halloween very well (cobwebs, wall paint, a few props), and all in all, this place is a fun dive. They've got a pool table and a nice bartender. I'm not really going to ask for more. If you want frills, you're not in the right city. If you want cheap drinks and a good time, Shooters will do the trick. The pool table takes quarters and is only 75 cents per play. The only downsides that I can see are the people that tend to hang out outside and the McDonald's next door (the smell of grease sits in the air like its stale, chemicalized food). I guess it doesn't make a difference after a few drinks. read more

Casinos won't get you drunk which is why this bar rocks. The location is choice and you won't leave sober.. believe me. Oh BTW the pool table is a bit tricky and the bartenders have a trick to fix it. read more
