About
Reno, NV
Halloween Pub Crawls
Reno has two nightlife personalities, and the Reno Halloween Bar Crawl gets you both. Downtown has the casino blocks and the Truckee River, while Midtown along Virginia Street has the independent bars and the arts crowd. One wristband and a digital map cover the lineup.
University of Nevada, Reno students, locals from Sparks, people who drove over from Tahoe and Carson City, and the odd visitor who came for something other than slots all show up. Your confirmation lists the stops and the order. Rideshare bridges any gaps.
Late October in Reno is high-desert cold. At 4,500 feet, evenings are often in the 30s or 40s, and a clear sky makes it colder. Build your costume around a coat or thermal layers. Check road conditions if you are driving in from the mountains.
Reno’s Halloween has a high-desert edge. The Burning Man crowd lives here year-round, so costumes lean toward the elaborate and the glittery, and locals tend to commit. Eat a real dinner, since cold weather and drinking add up quickly. The Truckee River Walk makes a good pre-crawl photo spot, and the Midtown murals give the other end of the route its own look. Bring layers, gloves and a plan for the ride home. Gloves help, since cold drains phone batteries quickly. Pack a charger for the walk.
