What what an amazing experience we had at the restaurant. Came in with a friend for a coffee and stayed chatting with barista Matea! He made our coffees and they were excellent! He is also an amazing host and was attentive to all our needs. The place itself is super clean and cute! Definitely will be back! read more

3/7/2025: The Jesse Hotel, Reno NV--Renault Double Queen Suite. 1. Downside: Historical Building doesn't have an elevator for ADA Guests; no hotel accommodations located on first floor/street level. 2. Restaurant Bar: Millenials' local hangout; bar is packed! 3. Cuisine: TAPAS--$8.00 to $12.00 for petite servings. A. Wait time: Fifteen minutes for First-Born Daughter receiving her three Tapas. B. Ten minutes later, I was wondering where is the steak and potatoes and when will it be served???? Never arrived . . . WTH~Male Waitstaff never annotated the steak and potatoes on the Restaurant Bill! C. First-Born Daughter had to hail another Male Waitstaff ordering the steak and potatoes, i.e., waited another ten minutes receiving the steak and potatoes: Egregiously disappointed not receiving the steak and potatoes tostada when First-Born Daughter received her three Tapas, the steak and potatoes' portion was shocking minuscule for a "tostada," and the steak and potatoes' presentation was obviously lacking--the steak and potatoes was plopped in the center on a black oval plate, less than a dollop of green chile verde salsa and two slivers of onion adjacent to the steak and potatoes! D. Chocolate Pie was served in a mini-flan ceramic dish; serving was just a miniscule as the steak and potatoes Tapas, I took a mini-spoonful, turned my nose up--ANNI MOGO, shoved the mini-flan ceramic dish to my First-Born Daughter who ate a couple of bites which she didn't finish: Strangely odd, the pie ingredients had chili mixed into the chocolate . . . Weird flavor which tasted rudely off-putting . . . AUGH~My lips were burning from eating the chocolate pie . . . WTH!!!! 4. Pear Cactus Margaritas: GET BOMBED FAST and slither underneath the table! Stay the night in the hotel upstairs, i.e., the inability driving is serious--DO NOT DRIVE! 5. Nice hotel accommodations; however, sirens woke me up several times during the night, i.e., I did not enjoy a peaceful sleep. 6. Jesse Hotel: Reminiscent to the Mount View Hotel, Calistoga CA sans swimming pool and spa. Building has ADA parking and a dozen parking spaces. 7. Coffee Bar ROCKS~Coffee Owner owns three coffee shops in Reno, Nevada. read more

My husband and I were our house shopping and decided to stop for the night. A quick Google search brought up the Jesse Hotel- it looked so cute and the bonus was the bar downstairs. We booked same day for a great price, had a smooth check in and found the place no problem. This place is SO cute, but old. You will hear the bar a little and some outside folks, but I would absolutely stay here again. So cute, comfy bed, convenient location- close enough but far enough away from down town. read more

The Jesse is my favorite place in town! The food is amazing, and we tried almost all of the tapas, and every single one is delicious. Everything tastes fresh! It's honestly hard to choose a favorite because they are all so good. And you definitely need to try the basil cocktail, "Aegean Garden" - it is incredibly delicious and one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time! A wonderful place for great food, drinks, and atmosphere, I will definitely be back! read more

The Jesse hosted a party 20 professionals visiting Reno, and provided great food, fare and fun. The chef and staff were perfect, and super accommodating and easy to coordinate. We didn't get to see a lot while we were in town but if you have time, this place is worth the visit. read more

The Jesse - Feb 2026 - Hotels Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This review is for people staying at the hotel. Good- The Jesse is really charming. It's an old building that has a gated outdoor seating area and a restaurant/bar downstairs. The room was clean, thoughtfully decorated and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Now the not so good-This boutique hotel does not have overnight staff. At 9:30 guests are unable to access the indoor hotel area or outdoor, fenced space. It is noisy bc it's located beside a bus station. Many transient peps. If you need to go out and about at night...you may want to reconsider or have a plan for safety. Overall I enjoyed my stay. Bartenders were fabulous! read more

lots of hipe but food had bad quality, bad service, and not​ worth the price. i do not recommend it.

For how long I've lived in Reno, I haven't come to The Jesse for cocktails before (wild I know). They have a dedicated parking lot for patrons of The Jesse but it fills up quick. Inside is so pretty cute little bar, with warm and cozy lighting. They have a small food menu with appetizers and then larger shareable items. We opted for the Gyro Platter. Phenomenal! Served with pita, tzatziki and tabbouleh. Can't wait to come back ! read more

The Jesse is hands down one of my favorite spots in Reno. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit--beautifully designed, warm, and effortlessly cool The food is outstanding: fresh, thoughtfully curated, and consistently delicious. Everything feels elevated but still comforting. Whether you're stopping in for coffee, a meal, or evening drinks, The Jesse delivers every single time. read more

We love this spot! Been here multiple times and it never disappoints. Our most recent visit was for my birthday dinner. Arranging the night with management was easy and seamless! They were able to accommodate to our requests and even created a printed out menu for the dinner. A cocktail was even created and named after me to celebrate the night! read more

The Jesse - Menu and cocktail for the celebration - Hotels Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We went on a Sunday, it was dead... We ordered a lot and had high hopes, the appetizer a pistachio feta was good we had to ask for it to be warmed to room temp as it was cold and kinda non spreadable. We ordered fried veggies those were my favorite, Za'atar fries were ok, they didn't give us dipping sauces w them. The tzatziki plate was egh the pita bread was good. For entrees we ordered the chicken and beef this is where it really went south, the meat was so black with char it was not edible the chicken was tough, So not good all n all, when we asked about deserts they said they just didn't offer them that evening. Strange experience, I would not recommend the New Jesse, sad to say there are to many places killing it right now read more

The Jesse Kitchen was amazing. When our original plans fell through we ended up at their bar for dinner and we are so glad we did. absolutely delicious appetizers and dinner full of fresh veggies, grilled meats and tasty dips and garnishes. We will return for sure for a relaxing but upscale night out. read more

DOUBLE BOOKED, HIDDEN FEES, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY We booked this venue months in advance for a baby shower, but the week of the event we found out the owner double booked the space, without even communicating this to the in-house planner. We were then asked to adjust our plans and start time to accommodate the owner's mistake. This alone was frustrating, especially given how far in advance we had reserved the space. At the start of the event when the weather turned, the owner moved us to an inside space temporarily. At no point was it mentioned that the temporary movement indoors would come with an additional $500 charge. This was not presented as an optional upgrade with a cost--it was framed as the solution to the situation we were already dealing with. We moved our entire group back outside to the original space out of consideration to free up the inside as soon as weather permitted. Ultimately, we felt backed into a corner, and then forced to pay hidden fees after the event. Lastly, because of the double booking, we didn't even have full access to the indoor space. Part of the venue was occupied by the other group, so we were limited to the bar area. Charging an additional fee for a space that wasn't even exclusively available felt unreasonable. The owner later claimed they had to turn away guests and absorb costs, but none of that was communicated in real time. Our group cleaned up both spaces, and no additional staff was needed to accommodate the event. None of the explanation given justifies charging customers after the fact for something they didn't knowingly agree to. Overall, the lack of transparency, the double booking, and the surprise charge completely overshadowed what should have been a special day. I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your event as it appears ownership only cares about making money. read more

First time here and wow the food was incredible! Loved the flavors and the shareable plates! Also ordered a great Malbec and the margaritas looked great! Loved the vibe and all the plants everywhere! Great for a little date night! Prices were also very reasonable read more

If you want a place to grab a drink that has great aesthetic and vibes, The Jesse is your spot! The backlight behind the bar. The exposed brick walls. The giant plants. The dim lighting. The beautiful decor. It's all stunning and comes together to create such a lovely atmosphere! We came on a Monday, so of course we had to participate in Margarita Monday! Margs were $9 each and were good but not the best I've had. They have some great drink options but I usually come here more for the aesthetic than for the drinks themselves. Some of the drinks feel overpriced and servings can be small. They have a really nice patio out back and a cute taco shop there too--it's a fun place to hang out when the weather is warmer. This is a cool spot to stop by when making the rounds in the brewery district! read more

Update - Appreciated Response from Management I wanted to provide an update following my original review. The next business day, a manager, Jess, contacted me directly by phone. She sincerely apologized for both the erroneous housekeeping report that resulted in the $50 charge and for the excessive noise level during our stay. She explained that the volume we experienced was not typical and that it is not customary for performers to play at that level. I appreciated the prompt response and the acknowledgment of both concerns. The situation with the charge was addressed (and the credit has since appeared on our credit card,) and it was reassuring to have direct communication and accountability from management. As a gesture of goodwill, The Jesse offered to host us for dinner on a future visit, which we found to be very thoughtful. We may take them up on that, as the restaurant was, in our opinion, exceptionally good and a highlight of our experience. In addition to the restaurant, the rooms themselves are well-appointed and comfortable. That said, I would still encourage prospective guests to inquire in advance about any scheduled live music if they are planning a quieter evening or an early night, as the setting may not be ideal for those sensitive to noise. Overall, we appreciated the professionalism demonstrated once management was made aware of the earlier handling, and Jess's exceptional effort to thoughtfully resolve our concerns. _________________________________________________________________ Disappointing Stay at The Jesse Hotel (Pending Resolution) I am hopeful that I will be able to update this review to reflect a prompt and reasonable response from management - specifically, the immediate refund of a $50 charge for an item we did not take, and some consideration regarding the room rate given the level of noise disruption that was not clearly communicated at the time of booking. We recently stayed at The Jesse Hotel and, unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations overall. To begin on a positive note, the restaurant was excellent. The meal was outstanding, and Ashley provided warm, attentive service that we genuinely appreciated. That was, however, the highlight of our stay. I was aware there might be live music at the bar (likely from another online review), but what we experienced went far beyond what would reasonably be expected. The noise level was extreme - the bass was so intense that the walls of our room were vibrating. A white noise machine was provided, which we initially assumed was for street noise, but it was no match for the volume coming from the bar below. While the music did eventually stop around 11:30 p.m., the level of disruption made it very difficult to relax or rest. More concerning was what happened after our stay. Two days later, I noticed a $50 charge on my credit card from The Jesse. We had not been provided a folio (I have searched my email several times.) When I called the hotel, I was told the charge was for a "missing lotion container" reported by housekeeping and the person offered to "send me a photo of the missing item," which I found puzzling. - a photo of something not there? This was surprising, as the only toiletries we saw were wall-mounted dispensers in the shower. He insisted that when we checked in, it was there and then housekeeping reported it was missing. We did not take any items, and yet the charge was applied without notification or an opportunity to address the claim. As far as the noise, the Jesse representative defaulted to the noise policy outlined in the Guest Arrangement. Admittedly, I did not READ the entire agreement because I was expecting it to be consistent with the experience I would expect at any small/boutique hotel. However, even the language in the agreement includes that the guest should consider this before booking. However, this was NOT brought to my attention at the time of booking three weeks earlier. And the reality of the noise level far exceeded what most guests would reasonably anticipate from such wording. Between the excessive noise and the unexplained charge, the overall experience was disappointing. While the restaurant is worth visiting, I would not recommend staying at the hotel unless you are fully prepared for a very loud environment and are comfortable with the possibility of unexpected post-stay charges. read more

delicious food, great service. has a parking lot. love the brick building and bar I just wish they have their event scheduled updated online because I have gone trying to seat in their patio and they have private events sometimes specially Fridays. Love it read more

When visiting Reno and Lake Tahoe for two days we stayed at The Jesse for two nights. They were accommodating and super nice! The bar and grill has amazing food, we tried the ground lamb with rice and roasted veggies (you should try it!) good taste and worth it! The rooms are beautifully remodeled with comfortable king bed and a huge walk in shower! The view, well ... can't say it was wonderful but everything was enough to enjoy the room. I do have to say that there is no elevator and all rooms are on the upper levels. If you cannot do stairs, not recommended. We did have our dogs, it went very well. read more

We spent a weekend at the Jesse with our pitbull and it was a wonderful experience!! We were celebrating a birthday and the staff helped me surprise my boyfriend with balloons and cake waiting in our room upon our arrival. The bed was comfy, the room was spacious and the hotel was quiet and relaxing. We were also in walking distance to the downtown casinos, which was super fun! I'm glad there was a reasonably priced, chic option on our trip to Reno and we will definitely be staying here again! read more

I have been to the Jesse several other times and I love their drinks, specially the mezcal cocktails. I recently learned that you can rent out their lounge area for private events and decided to host my husband 40th birthday party at the Jesse! Sarah is exceptional!! Easy to communicate with and we planned the whole thing in a couple of days. They helped set up the decorations Their food menu is delicious! We Did a taco bar buffet and all the proteins were to die for! If you are visiting on the weekend do not skip on the carne guisada tacos The entire staff was super attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend the Jesse for your next private event and/or for drinks and food! Thank you all for making the event a total success!! read more

Although we all miss the Tacos, The Jesse's new Mediterranean menu is fantastic! There are aps and small plates as well as larger plates. I am making my way through the menu but so far my favorite aps are the Falafel Bites, the Spiced Lamb Meatballs and the Mediterranean Fries. From the larger plates I'm digging the Shrimp Saganaki Flatbread and the Mediterranean Bowl. For the bowl you can choose chicken, falafel or lamb. If you are nostalgic for the margaritas don't worry. All the previous margs are still there with the addition of the new Rose Margarita which is fire. The new cocktail menu is amazing. My favorite is the Dirty Dimitri which is a riff on a martini with house infused tomato Basil vodka, dry Vermouth and Umami Bitters. (Chef's Kiss) There are some great new faces on the staff but you get the same great feel in the bar from the old crew with Nito at them helm and all my favorite tenders, Chloe, Michelle and Brandon who have all stepped into the new vision without loosing the great hospitality and vibe that previous owner Piper cultivated. The new owners are great, very friendly and working to carry the torch while also creating something new. Come check out music and dancing by Desert Beats on the patio every Thursday starting at 7pm. read more

We were headed to my husband's holiday party across the street and decided to get a room at the Jessie last minute. Luckily they had a room available although it was a Sunday. It is such a charming place. I loved the brick walls and simple decor and art. The bathroom has a nice large updated shower. However there isn't really any counter space in the bathroom for getting ready. My only complaint is the mirror situation in the bathroom of our room. The mirror above the sink is pretty small round mirror but it is so high I could only see my eyes and forehead. There is a bigger mirror on the wall across from the toilet but there is no outlet there which made it very difficult when trying to curl my hair. After we got ready we wanted to check out their bar downstairs before we headed to our party. They have a pretty extensive line of spirits to choose from. We have a few signature drinks that were fantastic. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone!! Such a more homey feeling than your typical hotel!! Even if you don't need a place to stay I recommend checking out the bar! read more

I lived there several years ago and it wasn't the nicest well kept place,of course it was owned by somebody else back then.I came across this place again while I was searching for a hotel while I was in Reno.I decided to give it a try and boy oh boy was I impressed!I The rooms were beautifully done. Spacious, modern and cozy. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Definitely will be back again,and again!! read more

Always one of my favorite places to go especially in the summer. Patio is gorgeous and the drinks are delicious. Quite the hidden gem!

Amazing place in Reno. Even has a parking lot. Yes... it's in a small boutique hotel and has a patio. Great cocktails and happy hour! Tacos were excellent and ask for habanero salsa if you love heat. But the best part?!? The bartenders! All were so awesome and friendly and I felt as if I'd been a regular for years. If I ever go back to Reno, this is definitely the spot. Also, their focus is tequila and mezcal but they had some excellent scotch too! read more

This hotel was so terrifying that we could not even check in. We booked one night and the parking lot was filled with scary people. The parking lot had signs saying you must take your valuables. The hotel has no lobby, is closed for breakfast so my cousin who stayed there for one night and tried to get coffee in the morning was accosted by people experiencing homelessness. My cousins ended up leaving hotel a day later. They advertise as having a roof top bar which suggests a legit boutique hotel. We are totally unfamiliar with the area so had no idea how dangerous the area is and that we could not walk safely outside the hotel or leave car unattended. So... all we did is arrive, open our room and then turnaround and booked a hotel at a nice casino near the airport. The Jesse would not give us our money back hence my reason for posting. This is an unacceptable customer experience. read more

Very disappointing experience. We moved to this hotel during the motorcycle weekend event and the noise from motorcycles all night long was unbearable. No sleep. The room was extremely tiny and overpriced for Reno. Wouldn't stay again as the rooms are very close to street level (it's essentially more like a bed and breakfast) and do not offer adequate quiet and calm needed for a good night's rest. read more

A year later and this is still such a cool spot. The ambiance is stellar - it's truly a plant lovers heaven. The food from Estelle tacos comes out super fast and is also 5/5 star Mexican. The drink selection is vast - I enjoyed a glass of red wine and was served quickly by a very friendly bartender. We came here around 8pm on a Wednesday and had no trouble getting a seat, but the bar was still plenty full, keeping the ambiance alive. Definitely a favorite up class, yet relaxed bar. read more

I've never been into this bar, but my fiancè used to come here when it was something different when she was in college. The coffee bar here I believe, is called Forged? I ordered the spro and Co (espresso and cola) and was pleasantly surprised how much I really liked it. Very quiet inside, and clean despite being next to the bus station on 4th Street. The server was nice and took his time making the drinks. If I'm in the area and want some caffeine, I'm for sure stopping back in. read more

I was invited to a special 40th birthday party in the back room of the Jesse by friends I met through Yelp! It was an adorable perfect quaint space right next to the bar for easy access. I have only eaten at Estella on the patio and haven't spent much time inside the Jesse, but I'm glad I did. Absolutely love the brick and aesthetic of the gorgeous bar. The bartenders were super friendly and Mason made me a delicious pink drink mocktail. It was poppin on a Saturday night in the main bar area, this is definitely a place to check out and hang out I can't wait to come back to order drinks and TACOS from Estella, so delicious. read more

How do you conceal 30 guests waiting to surprise a guy on his 40th birthday without spoiling the surprise? You host that party at The Jesse and squeeze em into the small private room just off the lobby because it's the last place anyone would think you could even pull this off! Good thinking wifey. I was clueless and the party was a blast thanks to the great company, venue vibes and epic service from the staff. They had the back room setup with three long tables and two benches at each, allowing the guests to seat comfortably with just enough room to move around. The lobby bar was bumping and even still, drinks were coming fast and furious. For food, adjacent Estella held it down (separate review coming) with platters of tacos, chips and salsa a plenty. My wife brought the cake in for the party and they served that up for everyone in style too. What amazed me most was how private the space really felt. Considering the bar is right next door and the restrooms and exit to the parking lot is off of this area, we didn't see too many patrons and felt like it truly was all ours for the evening. Color me impressed. This was certainly a feat and they pulled it off with flying colors. So did my wife and friends! Thanks for an epic way to enter my 40th year! read more

We went to the Jesse (bar only) for a drink after hearing about it on Yelp, and I was glad to have found it because it's a bit out of the way and not necessarily a place you might walk by. The interior is very clean and classy, with unique decor choices. I definitely feel like I should be looking nice if I go here, not necessarily someplace I might pop in if I'm dressed down in jeans or a t-shirt. There is seating but it's a little limited if it gets busy. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are good. The menu was a little limited, but should have something for mostly everyone. I heard you can also get food here (outside maybe?) but we didn't try it when we were there. Overall a nice place if you want to feel fancy, but a bit off the beaten path. read more
