Shim's Surplus Supplies Speakeasy

Great place chill have great cocktails ?! Music ? was good bartenders were awesome ?! Will definitely be coming again!!!

Nothing special, an ok place. Don't let the name trick you, this is not a speakeasy, I guess they decided to use that word only for marketing reasons. There are at least 3 cocktail bars in Reno that are much better than this one that for a small city like Reno are a lot!!

The atmosphere of this bar is worth the visit alone. I’m not a big drinker but they have a nice small selection of beers on tap, decent service and some fun activities throughout the week.

This is a super cool place if you are of age you should definitely stop

Pains me to write a 3 star review for this place, because their drinks are amazing, and the vibes in this bar are awesome. The Decor and Art are awesome, and the place was clean. The Bartender was the owner, not sure if it is like that every night. I went on Monday which was their open mic and poetry night, so it was full. This is not a new event, so I have to assume the owner just does not care about their wait times for drinks. I mean, it was ridiculous. 1 Bartender serving that entire bar with 40+ people. I get that these are craft cocktails, but The process to order is disorganized, so depending on where you sit, stand, multiple people may order before you, even if they arrived after, or finished their drink after you. This place needs to have two bartenders working on busy nights. Especially since the quality of drinks are high, they need help. I could not even enjoy the event, because 90% of the time I spent trying to get the bartenders attention. The Bartender/Owner also forgot my two drink orders, so on top of the long wait to order, the long wait for drinks, the order was forgotten, so I had to do the whole process over again which was extremely frustrating. I felt like something probably should have been done for the inconvenience, but it seemed as though this is just a common occurrence, and I was likely not the only person experiencing this. I also specifically came here to support a black business. It 's the first bar that comes up when you search black owned bars in Reno, and it even has a tag that says "identifies as black owned on google. The articles about this place and the Owner/Bartending working suggest otherwise, but I hope there is a black person at least co-owning this place, otherwise it just feels kinda sleezy. If the owner responds and tells me I 'm wrong, I 'll definitely update. I would love to go again and try their other drinks, but I don 't think I will due to the painfully slow service.
