5 Star Saloon

Good service

The 5 Star is my favorite bar in town. Whenever I'm out on the Santa Crawl, Wine Walk, etc, we always seem to end up here. It just a nice relaxed place where everyone can feel comfortable, whether me as straight girl, my bi girlfriends, crossdressing guyfriends, straight boyfriends, or my transgender pals.

It's not crowded most of the time, only on Saturday nights or when there's a bar crawl or something going on. Being Reno has so many artist types, they've been spotlighting art in different themes each month, so there's always something new to check out, my fave was the cupcake paintings, but the fetish stuff was pretty cool.

There's a front area with a stage, two stripper poles (that get a lot of use some nights), and room for dancing. The area narrows for the bar (there's a cage across from the bar that's fun to dance in) then opens up again in the back where there's a pool table, the bathrooms, and a nice little secondary bar called the backdoor service bar (only open at certain times).

It has a nice location too, right along the riverwalk so it's easy to take a stroll along the river then pop in for a drink--or few ;-) The bartenders and security are all awesome. It's super fun to just sit and chat, sipping whatever concoction they've made up. The 5 Star just seems to have it all, a cool place to hang out during the day and a hopping place on the weekend.

I am giving this place 5 stars simply because of the staff and the great time I had both nights I went. The place was dead as expected on weekdays but we still managed to make some new friends have good laughs and awesome drinks.
