Awesomeness

he Local in Reno is hands down the best bar ever. The vibe is chill but also full of energy, like every night could turn into a story worth telling. The drinnks are crafted perfectly--whether you're into beer, cocktails, or just a strong pour, they nail it every time. The staff isn't just friendly, they actually remembr your name and what you like to order, wich makes it feel more like hanging out with friends than just another night out. The music is always on point, the crowd is fun without being too wild, and the space has that perfct balance of cozy and lively. Honestly, once you go, it's hard not to make it your spot--it's the heart of Reno's nightlife.

Great place to grab a drink!! The bartender (Keri Ann) was mixing up some of the most delicious margaritas I've had! The call it shots were great, a nice selection of booze to choose from. The machine's definitely didn't do us wrong and kept us playing and winning. Fantastic place to play pool and some fun tournaments they have in the mix. If ya love dive bars put this in your circuit. I'll definitely be back again, everyone on the other side of the bar was so welcoming.

The Local is the place to be for pool and cheap drinks. The other patrons are welcoming and the bartenders are very friendly. You can wind down here after work or amp up for a great night. Machines are ready to pay out and drinks are always creative. $1 off local beers on Sundays and Mondays and pool tournaments

Garbage.

Walking and had no service. Bar tender was along on Friday night and was more into running at the mouth that customers. I sat for ten minutes before I walked out. Hopefully you can get a drink. Enjoy.

Ok, you wanna cool place to get the edge off? The Local!

As local Sparks businesses become more corporate, you know that you're supporting someone who lives and works in the community that we love. She also owns and runs "The Ranchhouse" adjacent to P&I which she revitalized as a local destination for great musical guests. Both businesses have a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's not a place where you are surrounded by random "barflies" who don't engage with others or bother you. It's friendly people, good drinks, great entertainment and even as a non-drinker, still a place to hang out with friends. It can get busy but you still won't feel "alone". Bounce between her adjacent establishments on a weekend during the shows or plant yourself in one spot and make some friends. Patrice will always make you feel like a friend she just hadn't met yet. And check out the decor! That's her too!

The sauce is rich without being too heavy and the meatballs are so juicy and delicious. It comes with bread for dipping and I love the crispiness against the warm sauce. I ordered the apple and fig chicken sandwich which was bomb! The chicken was the best part! But it had arugula, red onions and apples, both red and green. The fig mustard and Brie were amazing. This is one of the best sandwiches I've had. I also got clam chowder as my side which was also really good, not too salty. The service was really great! Any of the servers who saw we had empty glasses refilled them or cleared plates. There is a beautiful outdoor patio area, it was about a 30 minute wait. There was no wait and plenty of space for indoor dining and bar area. Quirky fun fork decor which can be found throughout the Restaurant Things to note: Split plate charge is $6 No split checks on parties of 6+ Automatic gratuity for parties of 8 or more

We have resurrected "double-date night" with some good friends and we take turns picking a place to eat. This time it was my best beloved's choice. He, without hesitation, suggested Twisted Fork - equally out of the way for both couples. It was worth the drive down there. We had a nice booth up and away from the main floor which made for a little more intimate dining. Tiffany took very good care of us from start to finish. Drink orders were taken while we looked through the menu. Some of the items I praised were still on the menu. I decided this time around to have the Ricotta Ravioli. The portions for all of our meals were very generous. The two guys had the Sole Piccata and my girlfriend had the Short Ribs. We all were satisfied and went away with leftovers and full bellies. It is a bit pricy, but the quality of the food makes it acceptable. There are a lot of options. I think it will be worth a return visit with my lunch partner bestie and have one of their excellent salads.

It's rare to find a place that feels like home from the first visit, but Mamma Celeste's Gastropub…read moreis exactly that. We've been here numerous times, and it is long overdue that I give them the five stars they deserve. The Vibe & Hospitality tucked away in the corner of a shopping center on Los Altos, this is the definition of a true locals' spot. The history here is incredible--the owner, Jim, relocated and rebuilt this business after losing everything in the Paradise Camp Fire. That "rising from the ashes" spirit is reflected in the hospitality. Jim is constantly making rounds to ensure everyone feels welcome. If you get a visit from him at your table, you'll see exactly why this place has so much soul. Jen the manager is also amazing and consistently ensures the service is fantastic. The Patio & Pet-Friendly atmosphere the patio is a great space and is very pet-friendly. We've brought our beagle, Bodhi, and Jim even made a point to come out and say hello to him personally. Those small touches are what turn a restaurant into a favorite. The Food & Drinks the menu is top-tier. A few standouts from our many visits: * The Deep Dish Pizza: A total showstopper. When it hits the table, it literally turns heads across the entire restaurant. It requires a 45-minute prep time, but it is absolutely worth the wait. * Burgers & French Dip: The burger is easily one of the best in the Reno/Sparks area, and the French Dip is amazing. * The Wings: Often wings are just an afterthought, but these are really, really good. * The Bar: They have a solid craft beer selection (the flights are a must) and their Aperol Spritz and French 75 are perfectly executed. Whether you are looking for a great aesthetic, a lively sports bar energy, or just a high-quality meal, this is the spot. Support this local business--you won't regret it.

First off, I am really not a person who complains. Tonight was my first experience of multiple…read morevisits that they let me down. They had plenty of staff for the Wednesday night, ordered a calzone, after about 20 minutes I received a pizza. So they took the pizza and prepared a calzone, after about another 20 minutes it arrived at the table, meat inside was room temperature at best. Waitress takes it back to warm it up. We were surprised a manager never came over to check on us and apologize. She said that he was in back yelling at employees, never once did a manager address the problem with us the customer! Was charged full price with no sincere apology. I have been in the customer service industry and been a business owner for decades. Always valued my customers as they are the ones keeping the doors open. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because I am pleased to say once we received hot food it was very good. Hopefully this is constructive criticism and I will see less poor reviews for this place.

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!

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.

Anyway: Quality/Quantity - Parley 6 IPA - Supporting local. Smithwick's Irish Red - When in an Irish pub... Nice whiskey selection, but I have a show to watch at GSR later today and did not want to fall asleep, lol. Atmosphere - Small local pub. Friendly and welcoming. Small stage with live bands, see picture or website. Small parking lot, don't even bother, plenty of street parking. Open 5 days a week from 4pm to close. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Service - 6 stars. They welcomed our team. Approved us bringing in food (from Pizza Plus) for our event. The waitress and the bar service were perfect. Came and got our drink orders often. Price - HH $5 beers. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007. Our team has been regular customers since??? So I guess we will be coming here more often.
