Shim's Tavern

I love this place for multiple reasons. First off, the vibe and decor is great. Secondly, the drink selection is quite good - try the Sunset Sour, Bramble or Bully for You. Lastly, they have beers on tap that I don't see at most places, one of which is quite possibly my favorite beer ever, the Kilkenny cream ale. They also have several comfortable booths for seating, as well as a stage for when they have bands/performers and lots of games at each booth too, if you want to play dominoes or cards with friends while you enjoy your beverages. I'll be coming here regularly from now on.

BEST part of RENO! We had a group of 6. Bar tender was very knowledgeable, friendly, outgoing, and fun. He was ready with suggestions and conversation.

This is a cool little place tucked just outside the exit of the El Dorado parking garage. Came here for a kitty burlesque show (fundraiser for the local cat cafe) which was entertaining. Drinks were decent and priced well, the bartender was efficient but didn't have much personality.

My friends and I had some time to kill before going to see Bill Burr live and we found Shims. The place has a cool anesthetic, great bartender, and a stage for performances. Try the mystery shots!

Great cocktail list in a cool hidden gem. Bartender was like a character out of a past time that made you feel like you were part of something different and fun. From the music play list to the separate cozy seating this was a pleasant and just welcomed surprise on our weekend in Reno

Cute place with a cool vibe. There was live music which was bit loud and made it hard to hear. Other than that, I loved my time here. The drinks were good. I will be back but I'm not sure if this will be a regular place for me. It's more of a place to take friends who are visiting or maybe if there was an event there it could be fun.

Clean and classy speakeasy with amazing cocktails, great staff, and a fun atmosphere! I don’t order mixed drinks from many places but this is one of them. My personal favorite is called a Two Hour Shift. Lemon and black pepper...who knew? Obviously Nick did...he helped create a lot of their signature cocktails and is also the bartender on Sundays during DJ Trivia. If you like feeling like you’re stepping back in time to the prohibition area, you’ll love this place. Don’t be confused by the speakeasy theme...just go around back and head in. You’ll feel right at home in no time. 🙂

Great speakeasy bar we enjoyed it! Please note it has only bar though, no food.
