Shanty Dolans, the brain-child of 3 incredible brothers, used to be a dive bar on a pseudo-sketchy corner on the outskirts of downtown Reno. Enter the eclectic and ever so imaginative trio that is Nate, Breck + Shane (who also happen to be high school chums of mine), and you now have a killer watering hole to grab a pint, a shot, take in the latest football game, or saunter up to the bar in costume during one of their many themed live music events. All expertly done with the styling of their Irish heritage taking you back in time to Dolan history and the great-grandfather who inspired the name.

At Shanty Dolan’s you are always welcome and nothing is ever considered ‘over the top’. They serve strong drinks alongside even stronger friendships and the vintage vibe will not disappoint.
