Just like restaurants, bars are all over the place. The ones listed here are special to may a burner’s heart in some way, and the ones listed in the Downtown shopping hub are particularly burner-friendly. Check into the corresponding shopping hub for more of the unique flavor of each of these watering holes. But you may just have to bring your own playa dust if you want the full Black Rock City flavor in your drink! Also best to call for hours as they always vary.

Well, seeing how there may be some people who are eager for some local burner scenery mixed with firewater and grit, we just had to include Jub Jub’s here among the areas Hot Stops.  Owned and operated by Burners, and known as “The Fucking Classiest Dive Bar in Reno,” if you are wondering if there is any kind of affiliation between this place and the Jub Jub’s Theme Camp in Black Rock City, well, ehhhh…… ,  you’ll just have to come find out for yourself.  Regularly featuring great drink specials, live music, free bad advice, and cheesy jokes, this is the best place in town to stir with other bizarre and fun personalities, events, and games.  Oh, and Fuck Your Day.
