RedRock Bar

Went here on a Saturday night it wasn’t too busy when we got there (8:30 or so) but it started to get busier as the night went on. There’s a basement with two pool tables and a jukebox with the bar upstairs. The group I was with was playing pool downstairs and the owner Reese came down to play some pool and chat with the patrons. Drinks are poured strong and are standard prices. There’s a broad range of music on the jukebox and dogs are allowed inside.

This place has one of the best atmosphere’s in town. Awesome staff. Ask Rhys whats good this week he wont disappoint. Head downstairs for some pool. The tables are well maintained.

This is a nice dive bar located outside of the main stomping grounds in downtown Reno, so parking is usually easy. They have well kept pool tables, a juke box, and darts downstairs; and, they allow smoking down there as well if that’s your thing. There isn’t much of a beer selection, but there’s plenty of spirits and cocktail choices to keep you busy.
The friendliness of the staff is sometimes hit or miss, but when it’s a good night, it’s a lot of fun. The art and décor upstairs is very inviting and is a nice contrast to the more seedy underbelly. They have a small (maybe tiny) stage above the stairs, and I’ve been told that DJs will sometimes spin here, but I haven’t had the opportunity to catch a show yet.
This bar is also right next to Granite Street Eatery, so it’s a great place to grab a drink after having dinner first.

This is a fantastic little joint in downtown Reno. Reese (sp), a now local Kiwi bartender is totally awesomesauce. They have dj’s in a little booth overlooking the top floor bar and pool tables and jukebox downstairs. Have a ‘Bees Knees’ when you go. You won’t be disappointed. Also, Reese got a hold of some of the last kegs of a New Zealand beer called Steinlager left i the country. Get one (or 5) of those also. Great spot to kick it.

Very chill place. and the owner was cool as can be will definitely be getting drunk here often.

This is a great place for classic cocktails and good conversation. The bartenders love to learn about their customers and start conversations. Sometimes they will have fresh mint and other muddling additions for grasshoppers and specialty drinks. All around a good whole some place to bring the family.

Great little place located just south of busy downtown on Sierra St. While some people may complain that the bar is a little small, it’s the small «homely» feel that gives it just the right atmosphere. Red Rock is not the typical jam-​packed college «meat market» with guys in shiny shirts or popped collars.
The bar itself is quaint, relaxed, and chill. Upstairs may be too dark for some, but this is what gives Red Rock it’s great feel and vibe. The owner keeps an interesting collection of artwork on display throughout the year with an ever-​changing line up of local artists and painters. Definitely worth dropping in to see the art!
The downstairs area also features 2 pool tables, a dart board, and Internet Jukebox; a great place to hang with friends or make new ones. It can be a bit crowded when a live band is playing, but the downstairs does offer some respite from the cramped upstairs area.
The bartenders are attentive, friendly, and make great drinks. Never over-​priced and never watered down. I would argue that Red Rock has some of the most reasonably priced drinks in town, especially compared to the casinos. They also have some great beers on tap that you can’t find in the big places.
BOTTOM LINE: Stop in, have a drink, and see the art and support the local artists.

Love this place. This is the after work bar choice forMt boyfriendand I. Usually very chill atmosphere (when it’s busy, it’s a little loud), you can stay and relax upstairs with the bartender or go downstairs and have a smoke and play some pool. Try a dark n stormy (run and ginger beer) or a Moscow Mule (vodka and ginger beer).

This is a great place to check out live music and see some great art. and love the new pool tables and darts downstairs.

I’ll keep it short and simple. This place is close to Granite Street Eatery. Awesome music. I wouldn’t say the crowd is «hipster», rather a diverse group. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The environment is very cool… loved the art. The basement has two pool tables and a jukebox. I would recommend if you’re in the area and want a reasonably priced beer and a game of pool!

One of my favorite bars in reno. Kevin the owner is super nice and has reasonably priced booze. I also like the basement they have downstairs with a pool table and air hockey table.

Hipster bar. Good for a nice cocktail & shooting some pool downstairs.

Little dive. Strong drinks. Pool table in the basement. Hanging out in the basement shooting pool here definitely reminded me of high school.

I’ve only seen the top, and it was tiny. Not in a bad way. They had live music the night I went in and I think about 15 – 20 people were in there (again in the top part) and most everyone could see the musicians (who were crammed up between some stairs and the ceiling). The ambiance was cool and I expect I will be suggesting future trips to this bar. At the very least I need to go downstairs and check out the pool tables.

Nice little venue. A little south of the busiest parts of downtown. Really nice, gentle, lighting, but still wonderfully colorful. Some surrealist wall decorations add some character. The bartender was a little inattentive. It wasn’t all that busy, but it took some time for him to see me and ask if I wanted something.
On Wednesday when I was there I saw a great jazz band. They really went off and did some interesting things, quite a variety in tone, pace and style.
The wall art is pretty impressive right now. There’s this giant painting of a moundy Red Rock behind the bar. It has all of these diagrams that are like Da Vinci blueprints or architectural diagrams to make some strange, hypothetical, artificial mountain.
Just for fun, to get to the bathroom, you have to sneak past the band, trying carefully not to bump them or knock anything over.
The lighting was also very pleasant, a bit dim, but it highlights the wall art well along with the bright, tasteful colors of the bar itself.
The drink selection was interesting. Some unusual flavored vodkas that I haven’t ever seen along with some other eccentric top shelf type things to go along with old favorites and a typical range of beers, Pabst to Guiness and Sierra.
The space is small, kind of one narrow, but deep room with a long bar on the left side, but if feels about right. When there’s no music performance they have pool as well.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the bartender/​presumed owner, but the place had so many other charms and good ambience that I still really enjoyed the place.

Megan the bartender is a doll! The owner and staff seem to have a pulse and brain cells which is more then I can say for other bars. They use their pulse and brain cells too! Crazy, I know. The art on the walls is beautiful and ever changing. Clean bathroom up a set of stairs. After using the restroom you can do your catwalk back to the bar. Check it out you’ll see what I mean. There is a downstairs with a pool table. Definitely a hidden hot spot! And every last Saturday of the month bump sound crew comes in and shakes the joint up. One of Reno’s best gems!
