It's just a short walk from the Nugget. Also a friend of mine keeps telling me about Reno's only RUM! bar called Rum Bullions Island Bar that's inside the Silver Legacy casino downtown. Apparently they serve flaming Kava Kavas, and other rummy rum drinks...well, it IS a RUM bar! I'm not certain about the decor or if they serve in mugs or what...probably not very tiki, but my friend just called it interesting. I hear it gets pretty crowded and rowdy, especially during the duelling pianos shows. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in RENO! It's not very tiki at all- lots of tin siding and fake palms- more buffet, I'm afraid. They do have a semi-extensive Rum selection and do serve drinks in tiki mugs (nothing unique or with a logo- though it's been a while since I was there) I had some drink there that I conned the bartender into putting Lemon Hart into instead of Ron Rico for the same price! That probably won't work anymore. It's close to the downtown nugget diner, so perhaps we ought to take a peek and get an update.
