Nightlife in Reno: Bars, Breweries and More
From outdoor recreation to indoor entertainment, 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’s 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.

Just south of the Truckee River and bordering on the Midtown District is Pignic Pub & Patio. What looks from the outside like a two-story house with an extensive patio is actually a house-shaped bar. The bar itself is a trendy hangout with craft cocktails and a huge draft beer selection. The patio, on the other hand, is lined with grills open for use; just bring your favorite protein or vegetables (or purchase from the bar's mini-fridge of options), buy a drink at the bar and spend the afternoon or evening grilling outside for any occasion. Pignic also hosts live music almost every weekend in its "living room," where local bands ranging from rock and blues to jazz and R&B plug in and perform. Whether you're grilling for friends on Pignic's deck in the summertime or warming up with a whiskey inside for a live show, Pignic is fast becoming a weekend staple in Reno.
