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.

Monday Night Football was on all and the tables were taken except for one at the very front of the restaurant. We were greeted promptly and asked what we wanted for drinks and we placed our order. Then the server came back and asked us what we wanted. She had made some recommendations on the appetizer menu since it was happy hour. We chose the chicken fingers, the quesadilla with chicken, and the potato skins. Everything came out nice and hot. The chicken strips were not dried out. The quesadilla had a load of stuff besides the chicken; it has black beans, avocado, and cheese. The potato skins were wonderful! I'm so sad I didn't get pictures before we ate, but we dug right in. We will definitely be back!

The main highlight for this review is the level of customer service…read more A small group of us were out early barhopping on a Friday night. Since it was early most places were pretty dead until we got here. We had been across the street when my mom noticed this place and wanted to give it a try. It was the first fully crowded bar we had come upon. We shuffled our way through the crowd and decided on a table in the very back. As we were making our way toward the table, a bartender made eye contact with me and let me know she'd be right over to take our order. I thought that was pretty amazing since normally you have to try and order at an already overcrowded bar. A few moments later there she was to take orders. Two of us got wine and the other two got lemon drops which I know is out of place for an Irish pub but we ended up absolutely loving our choices. My mom also asked for a straw for our water and she returned and handed it to her in a napkin which gained major points because I cannot stand when I'm handed a straw with bare hands. They were also playing live music which really the crowd engaged. Definitely a fun spot! Things to note: there is a very small private parking lot.

The vibe is open and chill. We grabbed a few drinks and split some food. The portions are very generous. We decided on nachos, a chicken apple salad wrap and crispy Brussels sprouts. The massive wrap was packed with chicken, apple slices, cranberries and fresh lettuce. Seriously, it was better than I expected. The Brussels sprouts were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a hint of a maple glaze. Our server Chelsea was super friendly and served our food in a timely manner. Honestly, Mellow Fellow feels like a hidden gem. If you're in the area, especially around game time, it's worth checking out.

This is a fun little place to hang out in and can be enjoyed on a date, with friends, or even with the kiddos. Service here has always been great, always fast and attentive. Not only are the burgers great but the appetizers are quite the sight, the giant fried pretzel just looks absolutely ridiculous as the center piece to your table. Also weirdly enough the ketchup here, for some reason may be the best ketchup on earth... I can not wait to get some time to run back down to MF, eat some killer food, drink some local beers, and snap a bunch more pics to hopefully get more people enjoying this place.

When the new owners first purchased the building, they got permission from the original owner to continue using the name; and they made a speakeasy out of it. If the red light was on off the alley, it means they're open. All that said, the barkeep was knowledgeable about the history and made a coconut old-fashioned my wife gave a 10 out of 10 too. We got there a little early, but there was someone setting up a guitar on the stage for some evening music. If you're in the neighborhood drop in, it's worth just checking out and they have some very fun drinks. And with their selection of bottles, I don't think there's a drink you could ask for they couldn't make. Like Mikey sez 'try it you'll like it'

I actually ate here 3 days in a row so I got a good taste of the experience for sat dinner, sun brunch, and then Monday brunch on the way out. The first night, I came with family, who ordered the Brussel sprouts, which came out a little over cooked, soft, not crispy, and the balsamic was just ok. However I did share the gigantic ribeye dinner with my date and it was honestly one of the better steaks I've had recently, especially considering the size, it was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the veggies and mashed potatoes that came with it were amazing. The server was also very friendly and funny, the experience in general was a 4.8. The second day I came in for brunch, the server that we had was truly a delight, she was extremely friendly, her name which I forgot, was a spice like Cinnamon or something. Anyway, she was very sweet, she let me and my gf sit next to each other and take up two tables, even though it was quite a busy time (they do have a large back room). I was able to build my own omelet which was nice since like I said I was in a strict diet. I had the San Francisco omelet with mods, which came with ground beef, spinach, mushrooms, I also added zucchini, pickled jalapeños and some bacon. It was amazing! Once again, the server seemed like she would go out of her way to make our experience a great one! I will also say that they had some soul music playing which me and my girlfriend really liked (bias of course). Unfortunately the Monday brunch was not as great of an experience as the other two days. I will give a little grace considering it's Monday, and the bartender was the only one serving in the whole place, he did not live up to the standards the first two servers provided. Anyway, we walked in and there was one person in the whole place, sitting at the bar, we sat next to the window and I asked if I can push the two tables together so I can sit next to her, he actually said no initially bc he wanted to save room for bigger crowds (keep in mind, this place is empty and they have a huge back room), he eventually said "it's all good we are not that busy right now anyway." His negative tone kind of set the "tone" for the rest of the experience. I ended up getting a coffee while my date a latte, the coffee was noticeably not hot, and tasted kind of stale, when he came to refill my coffee later, it was still not hot at all, I don't want to say it was cold but it was just kind of warm, and kind of gross. This time I decided to get the same omelet with egg whites, initially I was unsure if he would be willing to go out of his way to accommodate for the previous modifications, but I asked and he was "willing", though he seemed a bit annoyed (maybe this is just his usual face). The omelet came out different obviously with it being egg whites and unfortunately it was a little runny, while the veggies were a little overcooked. I realize that cooking with egg whites are not as easy as regular eggs but either way, it was noticeably runny. The server did show that he had a little sense of humor and could smile at one point while helping a different group, mainly at the expense of a group of teenagers who came as a group of 10 kids to post up a single poster in the window. It was nice to see that he "could" smile. Ultimately, he was ok, but a little awkward, and really never smiled. The breakfast wasn't terrible, the seasoning (like the other meals, was great, the potatoes came with bell peppers and green onions on top and were good, and other than the eggs being a little runny, it was still good. The music was also different, 80s punk/ Ramones radio. To top things off, I ordered some house made pickles, which I was very excited about since I was a little hungover, but they never showed up :( Like many of the other reviews, it was pretty expensive, which is understandable since they advertise that most of the ingredients are organic and locally sourced. Two omelets, a coffee and a latte came out to $80, not including tip. I am willing to pay for great quality food and great service, but it does little room for error, and the last experience did have quite a few of them. At the end of the day, it is a unique place that offers a lot, breakfast, lunch, dinner, organic ingredients, a charming ambience that reminded me of a grog bar, midtown setting that is a short walk from the riverwalk and downtown. Obviously I liked the place since I came back twice, and if the option of 4.5 stars was possible I would give it here bc the first two experiences were stellar. And, if i never came in on Monday, it would've been easily a 5 star rating. AND once again, I'd hate to judge a place based on the performance on a Monday morning, however, I simply can't give this place 5 stars after that last experience.

We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Saturday. The joint was nearly empty aside from a couple at the bar. Plenty of seating for our large group in the large, comfy couches. They also have cool built-in seating around the perimeter of the bar, though not nearly as comfortable as the vintage furniture. The menu is sorted by glass type. A fun and unique way to sort cocktails. They also have a selection of beer on draft and wine. The drinks can also be made into mocktails- a win for our group since we had a few non-drinkers. The 1859 mocktail was great. Perfectly sweet with a small hit of miso flavor from the miso honey. Probably even better and more balanced with the whiskey! Others in my group enjoyed working their way through the many light, dark, and sour beers on tap. 1864 offers a classic, relaxed atmosphere and a great place to get a cocktail. The prices are reasonable, too. Definitely worth the visit.
