First time visitor and will repeat. Greeted right away by a knowledgeable, cheery and attentive bartender. Nice crafted selection of cocktails- I tried the Pan American, which was tasty even to a non-Mescal person. Also had a good offering of harder to find or lesser known whiskeys & bourbons, so another tasting opportunity there as well. Other visitors seemed friendly and are regular fans of Lo-Bar. Didn't try food, but will go back to check that after "scouting" it for cocktails and setting.
I recently moved to Reno and am quite surprised that there aren't a lot more restaurants or bars with views of the river and/or mountains. There's only a very small handful of places downtown you can actually see the river from for example and it's completely ludicrous to me that 50 S Virginia St on the River (North of Pioneer Center) they put a parking lot between the building and the river. But I digress, I managed to find this gem of a place with a rooftop bar. You can't see the river of course but it has a nice view of the surrounding neighborhood and Downtown area. Bartender was very friendly, made great drinks. It was uncrowded on a Saturday night at 7 as most people apparently come for the DJ later. So if you want a laid back atmosphere, you can hang out in the early evening and if you want some night life you can come later. They do not have food so bring take-out from your favorite restaurant if you want to eat. If they at least had small bar food menu with some good bar food I'd give it 5 stars but the lack of food and the view being nice but not spectacular, this is a solid high 4 stars.
went there with friends and was harassed by the same guy for over two hours. we let the bartender know he was cornering women, making disgusting and rude comments, and even throwing bar furniture off the patio. we asked the bartender *multiple* times to remove him from the bar but he kept showing back up in our area. he ended up trying to get into my uber when i left. you should listen to people, women and men, when they tell you there is someone unsafe in the vicinity. rooftop was nice
I stopped here on Monday night and I was the only person in the place as it was right before closing… the bartender was super friendly and made a good drink, the place is very roomy and comfortable as well as clean and well put together. Prices were good for craft cocktails… great place to stop to have a drink, highly recommend!
5 star service!! Shout out to Jess and the amazin bartenders! Bar is a little small for live bands - but luckily the bar provides foam single use earplugs!! Wish they would expand their location but I love the place!
