Reno
There's a debate in town over who brews the best beer, Great Basin or Sierra Nevada. We're not picking sides, but we do give extra points to Great Basin for its outdoorsy ambience, which includes a mountain scene splashed across the wall. It's 6 miles south of downtown. The pub grub here includes burgers, sausage sandwiches, pizza and fish tacos.
Great Basin serves five flagship beers with 13 seasonal brews, and also has a nice selection of Belgian ales.
