SixFour Growlers

Great selection on tap and the owner is super friendly! We learn new things about beer everytime go.

Great concept, atmosphere, staff, and (of course) BEER! This is a growler fill-​up station and not a bar, though they do have a ‘tasting’ area where you can sample from over 30 craft beers. We have plenty of bars in this town (can never have enough micro-​breweries though) so it is nice to see something fresh. They have 32 & 64oz growlers and a 32oz ‘canned’ growler that they seal right there. Also, their sealed glass growlers are good for up to two weeks if refrigerated, so no worries about having to drink it immediately.
I highly recommend SixFour Growlers and I will be a returning customer.

Terrible service!!! Will never go here ever again. Complete joke! Have used this place tons of times in the past snd today was the last time. I went in to purchase alcohol for a 200 guest wedding event. My daughter was told she could not use the restroom (7 months pregnant) when she said she wouldn’t return, the employee said «yes that’s what we want»., i have spent an average 300.00 per month for gifts to my employees and business associates… Never again

They had 33 beverages on tap including 2 kombuchas from Sierra Kombucha when I was there. All in all, I tried 2 kombuchas and 6 beers while watching a football game :) The crowd was mellow and the service was awesome on the Sunday afternoon I was here.
Reno definitely needs more places like this. I feel like it’s somewhere I could take friends from out of town and they’d be impressed with it!

Have stopped in a few times. Always friendly service and they have a great beer selection. They rotate kegs frequently and they literally have something for everyones liking.

I didn’t have beer… does that disqualify me from even reviewing this place? I had a kombucha which was ok. But what makes me a «Yay» fan was the people I met in there. Oliver X was just hanging and he introduced me to some of the guys working at the time. They seemed really passionate about making the business as good as possible.
The setup is a little tighter than I would have expected… but they do have lots of patio space to spread out.
Now, here… take this grain of salt
.
Ok. Now that you have that… keep it on hand when you read any review of a beer place from me. I have a fundamental dislike for beer so I can’t give a real in depth fan boy appreciation review. I can only give what’s useful with that grain of salt. Business friendliness, knowledge maybe, space, atmosphere and maybe a review of how many alternatives to beer they may have on tap. This day, I focused on the Kombucha that seems to be soon in short supply.
I probably wont be blazing a trail down to SixFour anytime soon, unless one day I wake up and crave the odd taste of beer like the rest of the world. Then I would be happy to fill up growlers here.
P. S. Parking pretty much sucks here all the time… and I have heard… DO NOT park in the hotel next door. They love towing people.

Sixfour Growlers has a great rotating selection of 33 beers. They have something to satisfy everyone. You can get growlers (bring any growler) and also ½ growlers (32 ounces) canned to take home. You can do flights of beers to figure our what you like, a sample, or enjoy a pint or two; a must if you are in Reno.

If you like good beer then this is a great place for you. Stop by for a flight or a pint and fill a growler! They have a great tap selection of local and regional craft beers and cinders. Bret, one of the owners, was really friendly and helpful.

Time: 7:28pm/92°F sunny
Purpose: Came here after having dinner at Brasserie St James. Before heading back to hotel a scan of nearby brewery reveals SixFour.
Set-​up: Located in a complex share with other businesses. The front of place has two umbrella tables the max allow on regulation. Inside has five high tables and chairs sits ten total. Walls adorned with different brewery drawings and logos a single flatscreen tv sits in corner. Couple of shelves line with mostly growlers and souvenir clothing articles. Mini draft cooler with self kombucha refill section. Behind counter a three panel flatscreen with description of each brew. Below the panels 30+ draft paddles of each beer. It’s a quiet place as you can definitely be yourself or chat with a friend. Depending were sun ray hits during the day. You may or may not want to sit outside.
Staff: Older guy about early 50s was reading some paper when I enter. Immediately greeted me walks over ask if I been there before? I answer no, just finish dinner up the street a scan of brewery brought me here. He was very knowledgeable about the beer they carry. At no point trying to sell me something I don’t need. Told me Pigeon Head is from Reno among others, but its popularity is what people like. We went over brews that may interest me. I went ahead narrow down something I wanted so, I won’t be holding him up reading.
Cleanliness: Grade A, looks and feels like it had just open a week. No drips or spills seen tables has new coaster place. Draft spout no drips.
Eats/​Drinks: Went with taster size of Stella Artois Cidre $ 2.50, very refreshing. Pours like the regular version, but this cidre has a dryer note and fruity apple taste. Nothing to it, wasn’t my first time having it. I just feel for it at the moment. Other local brand seems good too, but after finishing dinner up the street. Can’t risk it, as I’ll be driving back in 9hrs.
Main Features: 33+ rotating beers on tap.
Products/​Services: Growler w/​o refill, t-​shirt, cap, taster/​tatser flight, kombucha, popcorn. Takes plastic.
Punch Lines: Seats are minimal, 30+ beer on tap, on draft kombucha, no small bites, warm service, knowledgeable, local/​regional beer, lot parking, clean/​quiet, outdoor seating.
Tradeoffs: Taster price at $ 2.50 a tad more, but you get to try the local beer made and deliver same day.
Final Thoughts: Nice selection of local/​regional and some imported brands. Over all a great place to taste some of your favorite. Just minutes from downtown and casinos area on famous Virginia Street corridor. My only gripe is no small bites to pair some beer with, like pretzel, peanuts, cheese etc. Nevertheless, I will return with my own growler if, I can figure a way how to keep it frosty cold on a 4 hour trip. 4.5/stars.

Such an awesome little place! So happy they opened up. Excellent beer selections and constantly rotating taps! The owners are super friendly and very knowledgeable about the beers!
Follow them on Facebook as well! They have awesome events and even branch out from their shop and do remote growler fillings at different locations throughout town!
Very happy this business opened!

How did it take so long for Reno to get a filling station? SixFour Growlers is a great addition to Reno and specifically to the MidTown area.
The décor inside is clean and simple. I love the pictures of all the local breweries in Reno that they added to their walls. They have a small seating area as well as the bar where you can sample a beer, grab a flight, a pint or fill a growler. You can purchase one of their growlers or bring your own to get filled. They offer local beers as well as some not so local beers. Prices are good and you can check ahead on their website to see what they have on tap as well as the fill price for the beer you’re interested in. They add beers all the time and I love the digital display they have for their beers. It’s so easy to read and not be overwhelmed! I also recently learned that if you go on Tuesday, they will give you $ 2 off your growler fill (32 oz.).
The night that we were here, the staff were busy but very sociable, knowledgeable and just pleasant. The one thing to remember is that this isn’t a bar. They don’t have food, it’s not a place to hang out for hours… it’s a place to taste beers you’ve never heard of or have always wanted to try without having to run all over town to your favorite breweries. SixFour, I’ll definitely be stopping by after work to refill a growler!

This isn’t anything new under the sun, but it is a new concept to Reno. Sure you can get your growler filled at any of our awesome local breweries, and I submit that you should if you know what you like, but what if you want to try dozens of beers from many different breweries? SixFour is your place to go. The guys there are super friendly and they are happy to let you taste away until you find what makes you happy. They’ve also got kambucha if you’re into that sort of thing.

This place is filling a need that Reno has needed for a while. Prices have been in line and I don’t feel ripped off. Staff is knowledgeable and recommends without being snobby. The tasters are decent size and the growler fill process was sanitary and done above my picky standards in regards to sanitation.
The inside décor is cool but hanging inside while you taste will be a bother in the winter I found myself while in there just wanting to order and sit outside.
Try them out I had the alpine stout and a double ipa that were brews I’d buy again.

I’ve never heard of a growler filling bar before, and I’m glad someone has finally brought one to Reno! SixFour Growlers offers a selection of 33 different local, semi-​local, and not-​so-​local beers, ciders, and kambuchas that you can fill your growler with. They are constantly changing out their beer selection, so you must go back often to see what’s new :)
What I also liked about this place is that you can get a pint or a row of 4oz tasters, so you can get an idea of what you like before you fill up your growler.
The location is great, as it is near lots of food options in Midtown or downtown, all within walking distance. The only downside is that the parking lot is usually packed, so you may end up parking on the street.
The bartenders were very helpful as well: they offered many opinions on what beer they liked, or what was most popular at the time.

Great Beers to choose from, all from local Brewers! Wife and I had a 6 flight, all were really, great tasting beers, two were Fruit Beers. Flights are great, especially when you are not quite familiar with that Brewery. Service is really quick and knowledgeable. And of course, they sell refillable Growler’s. Parking is kinda «luck of the draw,» if lot if full, park along the street.

Great concept and execution. When you do not have time to travel to all of Reno’s excellent breweries, you can stop by here and sample some of the areas best! (Tapping my head… Why didn’t we think of this earlier??)
Got a chance to drop in and meet Brett. (My brother in law was in town and wanted to show him how Reno was bringing it.) He took us through the pricing for tasting and purchasing. The selection should appeal to all types of beer lovers since it truly runs the gambit from lighter beers, to sours, to stouts.
The ability to try before you buy a growler is perfect. Parking can be a bit of a bear during the lunch rush for Great Full Gardens, but you can always park on the street.
Pricing for the beer varies but here is the breakdown for the containers (UPSIDE — they will fill any container independent of what brewery it is from):
Bottles:
Glass 64oz Growler — $ 10
Glass 32oz Growler — $ 7
Pint Glass — $ 5
Stainless Steel 64oz — $ 40
Stainless Steel 32oz — $ 30
I’ll definately be back and will bring all guests from out of town.

Such a fun and unique spot, and the location is a perfect addition to the growing midtown scene.
In addition to filling growlers of all sizes, they offer flights of four or six 4oz tasters. They have 30 beers on tap, always rotating and largely local.
The guys behind the counter were fun and knowledgable. They didn’t miss a step when we asked for suggestions.
We’ll definitely be back.

Atmosphere — 5 stars
Drinks — 5 stars
Service — 5 stars
Full Disclosure — I worked with Bret, one of the owners, about 15 to 17 years ago and had not seen him since.
Background — They recently opened growler bar, thus the name SixFour standing for 64 ounces which is the size of a full growler. Now you can find 124 ounce, a gallon, and the smaller version at 32 ounces.
Atmosphere — Clean and simple. Two racks of their growlers, $ 10 for the 64 ounce growler and $ 7 for the 32 ounce smaller version. Half their space is probably taken up with the refrigerator for the kegs. That fridge is literally on the other side of the taps. The fridge is very crowded with the kegs that have been tapped and their future taps. They have keg holders which allow the kegs to be stacked and still be tapped, which I had never seen before. Of course there is the classic bar that you can stand at and a few tables you can sit at.
Food
Drinks — It is all about the beer and ciders. 30 taps for the beers and ciders, and they have room for more taps if it goes well. They feature lots of the local breweries, which is a great way to get multiple local beers from different breweries. They also take notes for future keg purchases so if they don’t have that special beer for you, maybe in the future they will. You do not have to get a growler but that is the point. You can get a little sample, a flight or a pint. I had a pint of Brooklyn Quadraceratops a Belgium Quad. It was a solid choice but no surprise with their quality beers from that brewery. I also had one my 32 ounce growlers with Almanac Golden Gate Gose hopefully that is a good choice. I am just getting into the Gose style of beers.
Food — They do not have any here, but they recently did a pairing with Batch cupcakes that I missed.
Service — Clearly this is how the bar needs to survive as it just beer, ciders and a TV for sports. The owners know their stuff. Talking with Bret and hearing what they have planned for the future sounds exciting. Hopefully these plans work out for them. So keep your eyes out for them. They use a great application called Taphunter. It is a website and a phone app, basically it is their tap list so you can look before you go to see that they have or recently added. When you looking at the list you can sort it alphabetically or by the most recently added. I am not 100% sure but I think it ties into their digital display of what is on tap. Three large screens making reading their beers easy.
Pro Tip — Visit on a Sunday as Great Full Gardens is closed and makes parking so much easier in the plazas parking lot. But do not let that discourage you from coming another day, if you cannot find spot in the lot just park on Forest or Tahoe streets.
Future — Of course there is a future here for me.

Great place to try craft beers and if you don’t like beer it might make you a beer drinker with all the variety they have…
These guys know their beers…
I recommend you come down and give it try…

This place is fantastic! They just opened today, but they have 30 beers on tap all the time! They’ve got 64oz growlers and 32oz growlers (which I’ve never seen before) to take home or you can buy a pint or a flight of tasters and hang out.
They have a ton of local beers from Reno breweries, as well as craft beers that I haven’t seen around town yet.
This is yet another great addition to midtown!
