    We have come here a handful of times. It's always a chill place with a great atmosphere. The staff are helpful and always great to chat with. The owner also owns the tequila bar next door that serves Mexican food too. This whisky lounge has lounge couch seating and plenty of whisky and bourbon options. From cocktails or straight up it's totally worth checking out. We will be back again for sure.

    My second time at The Whiskey Lounge. I love this place. Earlier this year we had a nice experience and vowed to return. It took longer than we planned but tonight was fantastic. Russ was behind the bar and his recommendations and knowledge of whiskey made the evening a treat. Planning a return visit soon with some additional friends. Can't keep such a great place secret.

    This place is beautiful inside! It's got a regal, cozy, mature feel to it. They have literally hundreds, if not thousands of whisky options, much more than what the extensive menu offers. It's walkable to so many living in the area around it, so I was surprised it wasn't busier. Service was friendly and the drinks were delicious. Great spot to sit and sip and watch the action on Virginia St.

    After being out of the area for over a year, it was nice to come back to the Whisky Lounge. My daughter was finally 21 so I had to take her for some real cocktails. We had the Apples-to-Apples (my wife's fav), some egg nog (get it if it is still available), and a Sierra Old Fashioned. The vibe here is still really awesome. You don't need to be an expert to order drinks here. Just let the guys know what you typically like and see what they recommend. I did a whisky flight here previously to learn about the different whiskys (and whiskeys) and it was a real eye opener.

    Nicest whisky bar I've ever been in! Staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the massive selection of whisky to find something specific for everyone in our group! Lots of seating - clean and comfortable environment Highly recommend!

    Happened to be in Reno saint patricks day weekend and found this gem after lunch nearby. I love a good whiskey lounge. So many options and lots of craft cocktails if you don't want to sip whiskey neat at noon on a Saturday.

    Went in on whiskey Wednesday and had no idea all drinks were half off I originally was going to eat Nextdoor at brauhaus But I was early so I decided to come here and have a drink my first drink was of course the old fashion and I had a bartender pick up my whiskey based on price, very smooth. He was the manager of the place and moved here from California I believe being a chef to a bartender of his own bar. Although the construction on Virginia has messed with a lot of the businesses which is very unfortunate. But I did find a good spot since it was Wednesday. The old fashion that I had was very good and then I wanted to try a different beverage so I got a hot toddy and that was amazing. If I knew alcohol wasn't so bad for you I definitely would be drinking a lot more LOL! Like I said before the bartender was very nice and super friendly I definitely will be stopping by here when I'm in the area.

    This place is awesome. I love being able to explore whiskeys that I would probably never try. Josie is the best, take her recommendations & if you have time her convos are even better. :) Will definitely be back. Cool little place downtown. Try it out for sure. The apples to apples is totally worth it, no matter what you like.

    Egg Nog Cocktail

    I had heard mixed reviews of this spot, but I'm going through a whiskey/bourbon phase so my friend and I decided to check it out! It's pretty low key, dimly lit and cozy. It's not overly fancy and not too loud either. I would describe it as chill. Russ, the owner/bartender, makes a mean drink. There was a winter Egg Nog cocktail that blew my mind. It tasted like a milkshake! I followed that up with an old fashion and then a glass of Frey Distillery's new bourbon. Everything was very tasty. They have a pool table and other games to play like Jenga and Sorry. It's a good bar for conversation with friends.

    My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

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.

I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great cocktail. Can't wait to go back.

    A wonderful magic show inside the Grand Sierra Hotel & Casino…read more I was looking for something to do without leaving the hotel for a major conference. I saw that they were advertising this show...and I like a good magic show. It did not disappoint. The sleight of hand and on-stage demonstrations were incredible. I was still banging my head of how they did it or maybe it was the cocktail at the bar that was playing tricks on my mind. As a guest of the hotel, I had a 20% coupon and promptly used it at the ticket office, though I think I should have picked my seat better. Nonetheless, I was in the second row and I was able to get a good look of the magic up close. If you arrive early, you can hang out for Happy Hour, they had some unique drinks including the local standby beers and cocktails...and mocktails for those attending the all-ages show. I recommend seeing this show on a Friday or Saturday night if you want a bit more rambunctious, racy show.

    Last Friday night we went to the White Rabbit Theater. We got there 3 minutes before happy hour…read moreended so we got 2 specialty drinks for $20 instead of $18 each. I wish I had ordered two. After happy hour ended a bud light and high noon was $18. I can't believe they turned the old movie theater into a magic show theater. I sat there thinking about all the movies I saw at the Hotel and the first time I had a drink in a movie theater so long ago, 1989. It was fun in the bar prior to the doors opening they have a magical experience for adults and kids to set the mood for the evening. Tracy the bartender was awesome! She also works at Blitz during the day. She has the kindest soul and such a people person! It was like I had known her for years. They have a box office where you can purchase tickets. Very hard to hear the gal! They definitely need a microphone to speak to each other. If you think you're going to save a few extra dollars on those service fees - you may have to think twice, just purchase on line. It's much easier. Also, they have a snack bar with fresh popped popcorn $9 -$13 and huge pretzels $14. Chase Hasty and his wife have traveled around the world to over 25 countries sharing their magical talent and ballet dancing skills. My favorite part of the show was when Chase brought out a locked box and Hoisted the box with a rope up to the ceiling and told this guy to watch the box. Later in the show they opened the box, it was a pretty impressive trick!!! One not to be forgotten!! It's a small production but well thought out with couple extra dancers and costumes changes. I love that Chase, picks people out of the audience to help with the show. Maddox was a return kid that had been practicing his magic and Chase let him perform in front of the audience and what is that called "That's Magic!!!" It's nice the performers will met you afterwards in the hallway to have pictures and ask questions. It's a great family night or you can come to the later show at 9pm for a little more risky nocturnal show. I'll have to save that one for another time!
