The Reno and Sparks sports bar and grill scene is alive and popular. Several establishments and multiple locations provide area sports fans a variety of places to gather with the like-minded. Gather with friends for food, drink, and (this being Nevada) a chance to place bets on your favorite teams.

A good selection of food and drink round out the offerings. The name is a reference to the 21st amendment, which repealed prohibition. I'll drink to that!
