Bighorn Tavern

The Happy Hour Lowdown

Bighorn Tavern runs happy hour Monday through Friday from 2-6 PM with the headline deal being 50% off ALL beer, plus $1 off wells and $1 off house wine. The food deal -- choose any 3 snacks for $15 -- is a smart format that encourages sampling.

Why You Are Actually Here

The 50% off beer deal is one of the best in Reno. Not 50% off select drafts. Not 50% off domestics. Fifty percent off ALL beer. That includes whatever craft selections they have on tap and in bottles, which makes this a beer lover's paradise during happy hour. The West 7th Street location puts Bighorn slightly off the beaten path from the main downtown and Midtown corridors, which means fewer crowds and more of a neighborhood feel.

The Vibe Check

Neighborhood tavern to the core. Bighorn has that welcoming, lived-in quality where regulars greet each other and newcomers quickly feel at home. The West Reno location gives it a different energy than the Virginia Street bars -- quieter, more local, more community-focused. It is the kind of place where you become a regular after three visits.

Pro Tip

The 3 snacks for $15 with a couple of half-price beers is a complete happy hour for under $25. And with the 2 PM start time, you can make an afternoon of it. This is the neighborhood gem that most people drive right past on their way to Midtown.
