Best of Metromix Reno 2012Sports Bar
No one has to travel far to find one of Reno's best sports bars ...
A lot of bars have TVs — maybe even most. But you know these ones will have the game on — big or small or even sometimes soccer. If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
Bully's Sports Bar & Grill No. 7 Robb
1640 Robb Drive
Reno, NV 89523Bully's is a classic sports bar equipped with numerous TVs, most fed by satellites, so you can watch just about any sporting event that's televised. This local chain has become popular for its pub food, but the menu also includes upscale items including steak and seafood. The decor is low-key and the atmosphere casual, making Bully's an ideal setting to have drinks with friends. The full bar includes 20 beers on tap, and cocktails include jumbo-sized Bloody Marys and screwdrivers. Like most locations, this one is open 24 hours a day. (The Robb Drive Bully's is our pick to represent the Bully's franchise as a whole, so if you prefer another location, it's up to you to decide if you think this one is an OK substitute.)
