The pneumatic diner is super funky and way casual but that's part of its cozy charm. You will bump into someone just try not to spill their fresh-squeezed OJ. The menu is vegan and vegetarian friendly, mostly organic and minimally processed and everything's tasty. This place is definitely worth seeking out. Do not miss $1.50 waffles every Sunday morning and remember, the Pneumatic is open late most nights for Beer and Wine and some of the best atmosphere in Reno.
