Brasserie Saint James

The Happy Hour Lowdown

Brasserie Saint James starts happy hour at a glorious 2 PM and runs it until 6 PM, Monday through Friday. You get beer flight specials to sample their house brews, $5 off growler fills to take the goods home, and a daily special that bundles soup or salad, an entree, and dessert. That daily combo is one of the best lunch-to-happy-hour deals in Midtown.

Why You"re Actually Here

The brewery-restaurant combination here is done right. The house-brewed beers are consistently excellent -- they"re not just cranking out IPAs and calling it a day. The European-inspired brasserie menu pairs beautifully with the beers, with comfort food that has a refined touch. Think hearty French and Belgian influences with local ingredients. The flight specials during happy hour are the best way to explore what"s on tap without overcommitting.

The Vibe Check

Cozy and European in feel, with a bit of Midtown Reno"s artsy edge. The brewing equipment is visible, the space is warm and inviting, and it feels like a neighborhood brasserie that happens to make its own beer. The crowd is beer enthusiasts, foodies, and Midtown regulars who appreciate that this place takes both the food and the beer equally seriously. It"s the kind of spot where you settle in for a while.

Pro Tip

The $5 off growler fills during happy hour means you can take home 64 oz of fresh-brewed beer for a steal. Do a flight first to pick your favorite, then fill a growler of the winner. It"s the two-step move that locals have perfected.
