Reno's downtown area is rife with historic buildings and architecture; to enjoy it while staying relatively cool, take a walk along the historic The River Walk District.

Lucke's Saloon lives up to its name, as the venue has been around since the 1940s. Back in the 70s, the bar drew a fairly rough crowd, but over time it has attracted business professionals and people who just want a break from the usual bar scene and want to be comfortable in familiar surroundings. That is truly the case as some of the patrons have called Lucke's their favorite place for nearly twenty years. Three pool tables, great drinks, a seasoned bar staff and awesome music make Lucke's Saloon a great little escape.
