Reno - Bars
Just like restaurants, bars are all over the place. The ones listed here are special to may a burner's heart in some way, and the ones listed in the Downtown shopping hub are particularly burner-friendly. Check into the corresponding shopping hub for more of the unique flavor of each of these watering holes. But you may just have to bring your own playa dust if you want the full Black Rock City flavor in your drink! Also best to call for hours as they always vary.
Great Basin Brewery & Restaurant
846 Victorian Avenue – 775-355-7711 – (Pyramid Highway)
Open 10am-10pm daily. Popular spot among local burners and a big supporter of the community, with real good beer and food.
Jub Jub's Thirst Parlor
71 South Wells Avenue – 775-384-1652 – (Downtown)
Open daily 2pm-whenever! Look for the giant monkey and "FYD" on the side of the building — Jub Jub's is located in the back.
Burners-owned and operated and known as "The Fucking Classiest Dive Bar in Reno," if you are wondering if there is any kind of affiliation between Jub Jub's Thirst Parlor and the Jub Jub's Theme Camp in Black Rock City, well, ehhhh, hmmm, you'll just have to come find out for yourself. Due to the closing of the world-famous Zephyr Bar, pretty much everyone who frequented that bar now resides at Jub Jub's. Featuring live music regularly and other wildly bizarre and fun personalities and events and games, if you're coming through Reno and stop at the Thirst Parlor on August 26 and 27, ask for a "Free Spin on the Wheel." You won't regret it. Oh, and, Fuck Your Day.
