Copenhagen Bar

Apparently people of color are not allowed or wanted in this dive bar. Sat there for 20 minutes and the racist bartenders, yes even the guy who makes the shrimp scampy walked by me, looked at me out of the corner of his eye and went on to serve others, didn’t stop to ask me what I would like. All to the comments of, Well don’t serve him and he won’t come back! Truer words have never been spoken.
DON’T GO TO THIS PLACE!
Go to coney island bar. At this place the bartenders are attentive and not racist.

Great dive bar located behind barber shop. Actually both are connected so you can get your haircut and then have drinks next door afterwards. Pint specials and on Friday nights they have shrimp cocktail and shrimp scampi with fresh garlic bread. We will definetly be coming back next time we’re in Reno.

In over 44 years of alcohol abuse, use, and disabuse I encountered on of the best bartenders I ever met –Susan Pickles. The owner, Doug, is a Prince. Check it out.

It’s an older bar, in a bad part of town, but the décor is old rustic western items. The bar has one pool table and if I didn’t know any better, during business hours you could grab a drink and haircut in the same building. If you have a choice go somewhere else to play pool… On a side note, great gathering place for geriatrics.

This bar has the feel of an old hunting lodge. They had a wood burning fire and a LOT of interesting signage. The kind of place you can’t throw together overnight (cough cough cheeseburger island style cough cough)… It has some serious character. Even if it IS across the street from the trailer park.
The drinks were amazingly cheap: Two beers and a white russian rang up to 8.50 or so. That’s less than ONE beer at some of the douchier bars in the area.
They close pretty early though, as they are a self-​professed «old person’s bar». But hell, when they kick you out at nine, you can just roll up the street to Morelli’s G Street saloon.
I’d pop in here again if I was in the area – and by in the area, I mean near Rail City… say, if I happened to be out of crack or syringes. Welcome to Sparks!

This place is old Reno/​Sparks, and full of atmosphere. The bar is small, quaint and pretty loud, but the drinks are well priced and expertly made. I’ve played a few games of pool there and they always get better after a few Picon punches that few bartenders know how to fix like these folks do. Also went to a private party there and the crew was very hospitable to everyone and the food was great!
One of the best Reno bars, and it’s in Sparks. The perfect tour of old Reno hot spots should include The Copenhagen, Coney Island, Lucke’s, just to start it off.
