With a bright interior and walls painted with fun-in-the-sun scenes, Beaches goes for an “Endless Summer” feel. In its favor, however, The Baron does have cordial bartenders and impressively clean bathrooms. On the Saturday night I visited, a three-man band played-or, more specifically, played around on their instruments-on the small stage, but no one seemed especially interested. Not even its large fireplace could brighten the mood. The first thing I noticed when I walked into The Baron was its darkness-dim lighting, dark brown paneling and a small crowd that looked as though it could use a reason to smile. If dancing is not your thing, stop by on Wednesdays for comedy night. We were invited to cha-cha-cha, but we were all too busy stuffing our faces with the pad Thai we ordered from the restaurant. While our party of four settled in the bar, a handful of people trickled in to participate in the nightclub’s Latin dance sessions (offered Thursday through Saturday). Once you get used to the restaurant/nightclub’s yellow and green exterior, prepare for a blast of bright, tropical colors to greet you on your way inside. Alturas has a lively but relaxed crowd and a good jukebox. On the Saturday night I visited Alturas, my friend and I talked easily over beers upstairs we then went downstairs and enjoyed great live music. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to go to a bar and do two things that seem mutually exclusive: listen to a good band and talk to my friends, so that my vocal chords are not irreparably damaged by the next day. So what if it takes 200 pounds of corned beef? Speaking of quantity, check out the back bar. Patrick’s Day is coming up, and at this place, they celebrate the holiday for 34 hours straight. This Alibi is cast-iron and tailored specifically to whatever ails you, even if it was the dog that bit you. What’s your excuse for not having an alibi at the ready? Fear not: That phone call to Johnnie Cochran won’t be necessary. I’ll be back on a Wednesday for wine tasting. My boyfriend had a Sierra Nevada for $5, which was a bit pricey for a beer. Although I usually don’t spend nearly $10 on a glass of wine, the size of the glass it was served in made up for the price. We sat at a booth, and although it was facing the bar, we felt secluded because of its height. Mahogany wood and big, cozy chairs give Adele’s an upscale appearance, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I forgot to ask him about the wooden framework that hangs above the bar. He also tells me the building itself dates back to the 1920s, and its next-door neighbor dates back to the 1890s. The neon sign out front was one of the first in Nevada, according to Mr.
They belong to the owner, Donnie Schwartz.
Old pictures of Nevada, mostly Reno, hang on the walls. With those caveats and apologies, here are 100 Reno-Sparks bars and clubs. There is only so much space there are only so many of us we can only drink so much without wreaking havoc on our lives and the lives of others. We also only reviewed free-standing clubs that are not located in casinos. In order to focus things a little, we only did bars and clubs located within Reno-Sparks or the close outskirts (sorry, Tahoe and Carson City).
In case you’re wondering, we got most, but not all, of our listings out of the “Cocktail Lounges” section of the Nevada Bell Yellow Pages. There are dozens of bars that we still couldn’t get to for various reasons, and to the fans of those bars not featured here, we apologize. And we did just that.Įven though this may very well be the most complete listing of bar and club descriptions ever done in the Truckee Meadows, we do realize that it is not completely complete. This year, we set a goal to visit 100 of the area’s bars and clubs. Every year, the RN&R sends its reporters out to chronicle the Reno-Sparks nightlife for our annual Bars & Clubs issue.
