Me, enjoying the singers!
Shamun M.

My gal pal and I had a wonderful time at karaoke. The atmosphere was warm and inviting!

While enjoying what downtown Reno has to offer, I stumbled across this location after visiting the park. I was in the mood for a dive bar, and this was closest. The staff was great and friendly, the environment was clean, and the customer base made me feel welcome. My only complaint would be the pour of my drink. I could not taste the liquor, although, for a $2.75 Happy Hour drink, I won't complain too much.

It was our first time going to a drag show and it was a blast having a Mother's day reunion this way. The entertainers were fun (Maria you're the best) and the drink service could have been a little faster. There were many of us at our table that ordered bottomless mimosas. The rest of our mommy's had tequila and other hard liquors. The food options at the outdoor parking lot were delicious. It did take some time. This parking lot is horribe. I recommend ride share or getting dropped off here so you don't have to leave your car downtown on the streets. This part of 4th street isn't the best area. Shout out to the hubbs for shuttling me. We'll have to come back and have beer on the other side. I love their peanut butter stout and usually have a chilled pack in my fridge in the Summer. Thanks to the Lead Dog for hosting The Twampson's drag brunch for a fun and memorable Mother's day celebration.

Here is what we liked: - Great vibe inside, including some comfy couches and lots of seating. - There is an area for live music in the back, which was just starting as we were leaving so we didn't get to enjoy that. - Very broad range of beers on tap. - We ordered a flight (4 5-ounce pours) and absolutely loved each of the beers, which isn't always the case at other places. Bottom line: We loved Lead Dog and will definitely go back again!

Its gotta slightly sweet San Marzano sauce layered over a beautifully thin, crisp crust with just the right chew. Every bite had me wanting more.

And the vibe...The outdoor setup has a huge grassy patio, multiple restaurants surrounding it, and a massive fireplace.

They are mostly beers ranging from the classics to some unique local brews in addition to some wines and cocktails. Other cocktails can be had at the regular bar. Center stage is a huge TV that usually has some game or other entertainment to enjoy in the plantiful seating. During the warmer months there are big garage door windows that let in a fresh breeze. The cherry on top is the cute little door connecting to Armando & Son's burger bar so you can enjoy that fantastic food without even leaving. All together this is a great watering hole for the area.

One reason why I love this place so much is how connected this place is to the community, where there are solid connections to different organizations if you're interested in that. For a social night, there's nothing missing! There's countless games and if you are overwhelmed, you can ask for recommendations and they got it. The drinks are pretty solid too, with lots of choices. I love getting to try out different games before committing to getting one for the family.

To put it lightly, I was pleasantly surprised about this affordable, fun game spot. Not to mention it's an easy option for a second date. To start, you walk into an expansive amount of board game options. The walls are lined from floor to ceiling with any game you can imagine! There are seating options for your group at a table or just have an intimate evening at the bar. They have a bar with beer and cider on draft and a few canned and non-alcoholic options. You won't find hard liquor, which will keep things from getting too messy. If you've played Uno with a spirited group, then you can appreciate this. Staff is friendly and helps you with any questions you have. You may want to reserve your space since almost every chair was filled on a Wednesday night. It's a cozy atmosphere that is absolutely worth experiencing with your friends.

First time stopping by in quite a while. It is World Cup season, and I had hoped that Ole Bridge…read morestill had some of the magic I remember. And glad to say, that in my experience, this is still the closest we have in Reno to a "soccer bar". This has always been a great spot. Small, yes, but in that casual, intimate, easy-going way that has a lot of charm. Lots of hard-wood finishes, barstools, and TVs to catch what's on. And at time of writing, totally overflowing with futbol energy. There are a good number of bar spaces, tables, and outside seating overlooking the river, which is a BIG draw. The beer selection here is great, both on tap and in cansor bottles. But they also have a decent full-barselection of wines, spirits, and cocktails. Plus, a decent smattering of N/A options. And prices are on par with most other bars in town. Service here has been quite good. Friendly in the extreme, and relatively prompt. Though if there are big, crowded events (such as a game being on), you may have a little slowdown. Plus, the vibes here are just fantastic. The location also cannot be beat, as it is ell placed to enjoy the riverfront and explore more of the area. Though parking may be a bit tight, depending on where you park and what day or time it is. There is also no food options here, but there are plenty of restaurants within a 5-minute walk. All in all, I am glad some of the energy I remember is still here. I will have to come back during MLS or Premier League matches to see how things stand. And with a soccer team HOPEFULLY returning to Reno, I definitely hope we can get the local supporters groups to return here, as well. Definitely a libation spot not to be missed. Cheers!

Ole Bridge has become a staple of the Riverwalk bar scene. Sadly this is my first review on Yelp,…read morebut I've been coming here for well over 10 years. Great outdoor patio area with some picnic tables, and they always have a good selection of beers on draft. No shuffle board any longer but there is a foosball table now. The bartender is always quick to serve and because they don't serve food the service overall is quick and easy. Definitely recommend stopping by for a drink if you are in the area!
