Nightlife in Reno: Bars, Breweries and More
From outdoor recreation to indoor attractions, Reno is a city where there’s something fun to do all day long. But the nighttime is when Reno really comes to life. If you’re worn out from a busy day, rally up for a second wind because nightlife in Reno is worth staying up for. You can sleep when you get back home! Reno bars range from sports bars where you can watch the game and sportsbooks where you can place a bet to college bars where you can party all night and wine bars where you can relax before or after dinner. A great way to experience Reno bars is with a pub crawl or wine walk, and there are many of them held throughout the year to support good causes – it’s barhopping at its best! If nightclubs or live music are more your thing, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for in Reno, and of course you can’t overlook Reno casinos for a night full of entertainment.
Reno Bars at Reno Breweries & Reno Distilleries
Craft breweries and distilleries have popped up all over Reno, each one with its own refreshing drink creations. It’s not only enlivening to taste the beverages right where they were created, but it’s also fun to experience the atmosphere that each brewery and distillery has created for their patrons, and, in some cases, their pets on the patio. Stop in the pubs, taverns, tasting rooms and lounges at Reno breweries and Reno distilleries, and you’ll meet the makers as well as people who enjoy socializing in a good Reno bar. Of course in addition to the bars listings here, hundreds of Reno restaurants also have bar areas where you can also enjoy drinks and camaraderie.
10 TORR Distilling and Brewing is located in a 1940s-era grocery store that has been remodeled with some of building's original materials. You can taste the goods in the tap room (sitting on stools made from materials salvaged from the demolition) or outside patio where your (well-behaved) dog is welcome. The beer is clarified in a centrifuge to prevent the need for chemicals to enhance the flavors. Independently grown hops and local honey are used. Gin and vodka are made with vacuum (also known as cold) distillation that retains the true flavors of the spirits. Check the schedule for trivia and jazz nights, outdoor games, or book a tour of the site.
