Meh. My parents love this place, but I'm kind of noncommittal about it. I'm not very excited about any of their beers (although the Ichthyosaur IPA is a great name), and their Tripel came in a...

Caveat: The 5 stars are largely for the beers... the food is about a 3.5 star thing. I've never had a bad time at Great Basin. The food is good, not spectacular, but good, and it complements the...

Location is right off I-80, with limited parking, and plenty of outdoor seating. Atmosphere is more like a run down old house than a normal building structure, with a warehouse feel to it on parts...

Fried pickles and garlic fries are great! Hard to carry a conversation in the place as the music was quite loud.The beer is worth trying - one of the better microbrews in the Sac / Reno area.
