You’re never too “old” to have a good time in Reno. It’s crawling with the young, hip party goers, but is also a fantastic social outlet for those who just need to unwind outside of that delicious bottle of chardonnay and American Idol or Glee nights.
We’re always getting asked where and what’s going on in Reno that’s a good ‘ol time, but outside of club lines, spilled Bud Light, and 30 minute drink waits. We feel everyone deserves a good time; after all, that’s why we exist! So we’ve put together a little rundown of hot spots that don’t require your college ID.
• The Grill on McCarran Blvd. has always been a well-known staple for Reno’s more refined ladies and gentleman to enjoy a glass of wine from an impeccable selection, a nice meal, and meet similar folks without feeling like they’re in a meat market. A little off the beaten path of downtown, but perfect for those who live in the south end of town.
• Roxy’s inside the Eldorado is one of our favorite dancing spots in Reno. Placed on the “border” of the El Dorado and Silver Legacy, Roxy’s is the quintessential example of sophistication meets play; known for their grand martini selection, award-winning plethora of wines, and a lounge act that’ll get your great grandma out of her chair, Roxy’s brings fine dining, exquisite drinking, and a night of “living it up” to downtown in the classiest of ways.
• Keeping outside of downtown in mind, but not excluding casinos, we must recommend the Reserve win bar inside the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino. Reserve is unique in that there’s no bartender; it’s all self serve. Over 80 wine bottles are kept in cases, assuring temperature and freshness are right on the money. Upon entering, you buy a credit card sized wine card, load it up with cash (in any increment you’d like), grab a wine glass, and go to town. A lounge atmosphere accompanies the experience, so once you’ve chosen your poison (you can also control the amount of wine you get from each selection), you’re free to sit down, chat, drink, refill whenever suits you, and never have to fight to grab the bartenders attention. Sounds pretty dreamy to us.
• For those who just want a casual drink, meal, and socializing, the newest hot spot is Napa-Sonoma at Plumgate Center. Its unique atmosphere combines all the enticing aspects of your neighborhood wine bar but doesn’t call for a formal dress code or casino dealings. Located in the heart of Old Southwest, Napa-Sonoma offers lunch and dinner, specializing in scrumptious Panini’s and Italian inspired appetizers, and a wine selection capable of making any wine connoisseur melt. One can purchase wine to-go, make gift baskets and Napa-Sonoma offers special events, including live jazz every Tuesday. Keep it business casual and unbutton that collar with a glass of vino and treat yourself to their signature carrot cake…you deserve it.
