About us

Do you love dining out, but either don't much like to eat by yourselves or would like more company once in a while? Whether attached or single, trying new restaurants and other venues around town can be challenging. Why not go with others? Join us as we explore the many restaurants, pubs, fun spots and activities of the Reno/Sparks area. From hole-in-the-wall joints to fine dining, we do it all. This is a group for both attached couples or singles who want to make friends and enjoy the local dining scene, festivals, food tastings, and more. There will also be many Happy Hour events, and other local, general events designed to relax, enjoy, mix and mingle!

Have suggestions for places or venues for us to try? Send me a message and let’s get it on the calendar.
Types of Meetups: • Ethnic Eats • White Tablecloth • Food Events and Festivals • Happy Hour • Beer or Wine Dinners or Tastings • Pot Lucks • And many more social activities than food or cocktails alone,Festivals, Concerts, Sports, etc efc.

Rules (sort of):
(1) Reserving space, fees, planning, posting and corresponding all take time. I do this, and the expenses thereof, for the group as mostly a volunteer. Please pay your initial annual dues ($9) promptly, either cash, Zelle or online, absolutely within the 14-day trial period, and PLEASE renew responsibly! Thanks, I would rather spend my "hobby" time posting event ideas and enjoying them with y'all, than tracking down the MANY frequent delinquencies.

(2) Please respect your fellow group members, and me, and use the RSVP function to accurately represent your attendance. If you have a genuine last-minute emergency cancellation, change your Rsvp, post a comment, message me, or if you text, that also. After 3 no-shows with no communication before or after, you Will be removed from the group. Same with repeated last-minute cancels!!

(3) Please respect that this is NOT a hook-up group. That said, it is entirely possible, if you're unattached, that you may meet someone in the group--in person--that you wish to date. And, this group also has many attached couples. Remember to be respectful of each other and the group. That way all can continue to join us safely and comfortably. I will report all hasslers and "blind" solicitors to Meetup HQ for immediate removal.

(4) Failure to cover your tab at any event may subject you to removal, unless genuinely accidental, as we've experienced that before!! It is important that we respect each other; and that means not stiffing anyone, including our Leaders, with a bill that is not theirs.

(5) Empty chairs are sadness for both staff and fellow members, so members are required to honor their RSVPs, and especially for fine dining and crowded venues! Except for a genuine last-day explained emergency ( such as the c-p issues your hard-working event-planner had recently) or similar urgency, if members must cancel, they should do so at least 24 hours (48 for major events) before the start of an event, so that people on the waitlist can be notified and reservations can be corrected. This is a REQUIRED courtesy towards your fellow members, the venue, and Leadership. Those who repeatedly cancel less than 24 hours (48 for major events) before events, without explained urgency, will be removed from the Group.
There are many Groups out there, please respect not only ours, but theirs too!!

Brews, cocktails and concoctions at Mill St (aka 10 Torr) Brewery/Distillery

Tue, Feb 17 · 4:00 PM PST

10 Torr Distilling and Brewing, 490 Mill St, Reno, NV, US

In case anyone didn't get the chance to try their fruity concoctions, and other brewed and distilled wizardry, we'll do this again! HappyHour until 5pm.

Join us at a beautiful facility, Mill Street Still and Brew (aka 10 Torr Distillery). They distill some wonderful spirits and brews, and recently revised the name of the facility, to give publicity to the name 10 Torr. We tried the "sneak preview" years ago, and it's been great ever since.

"Mill Street Still and Brew is a new state-of-art brewery and distillery facility located in downtown Reno, Nevada. The building at 490 Mill street was originally constructed in 1940 as a grocery store. The building has now been transformed into a beautiful new high-tech brewery and distillery that still maintains the original building truss ceilings, brick masonry and maple hardwood floors. Great efforts were made to preserve the original old character of the building to uniquely blend with the new modern brewery and distillery usage.

The tasting and tap room provides customers with some of the finest precision Crafted Beers and Vacuum Distilled Spirits made by the Whipple Brewing and Distilling Co while enjoying the comfortable and relaxing charm of the old building with its new state-of-art processing equipment. Our precision vacuum distillation process (also known as molecular distillation or cold distillation) occurs at low pressure and ambient temperature. When traditional heat distillation is applied to a spirits mash, chemical reactions will occur that cause unwanted harsh flavors and loss of the natural flavors in the distilled spirits. Our State-of-the-Art 10 Torr Technology results in no chemical reactions so that all of the spirits mash natural flavors are completely preserved; thus producing the finest tasting spirits in the industry. Taste the difference for yourself!"
