Keeping up with all the changes has become quite the task. Midtown is business as usual. The Virginia Street Project is well underway, and construction crews are working hard to create a more beautiful and pedestrian-friendly Midtown Reno for us all to enjoy. New businesses are opening monthly, and even more are on the horizon. Take Amari , for example. This new bar opened in July, on Cheney Street, amid the hustle and bustle of an active construction site.

Amari in Midtown. Amari offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the community. While the vibe is classic and casual, the cocktail program is anything but, thanks to award-winning mixologist Anna Maye Vetter. Vetter is known for her whimsical and creative approach to cocktail design, particularly with regard to clever flavor combinations and presentation, and you can experience it all here.
Remember, Reno started as dusty dirt roads. Downtown updates. The Downtown Reno Partnership has helped make the area safer and more enjoyable for all citizens, and business owners are once again investing in the heart of our city, bringing new experiences that add thrills and much-needed attention to the area.
Sierra Street said goodbye to its Subway restaurant earlier this year, and Blind Dog Tavern was quick to snatch up this prime location. If your appetite is a bit bigger, try the Big BurgerIM; these quarter- and one-third-pound specialty burgers offer options that include Hawaiian salmon, falafel, Greek lamb, and dry-aged beef patties.
