The Selden

I appreciate that the venue aims to be inclusive, but there is room for improvement. Drinks are pricey for what you get, and a gendered cover fee runs counter to an inclusive environment. If you're looking for a true LGBTQ+ safe space this ain’t it. the crowd here can lean pretty mainstream depending on the night.

This is the first bar in reno that i’ve visited that feels like a real safe space for queer people. Tyler has an amazing thing going for him and i wish for nothing but the best from this spot 🫶🏻

My wife and I have stopped in for a drink twice now and had an excellent experience all around each time. The space is so thoughtfully curated and has an elevated cocktail lounge/nightclub/comfortable neighborhood bar vibe all in one. There’s a beautiful bar area for when you’re feeling sociable and looking to make a new friend, cocktail tables to share a drink privately, and even a beautiful patio with a lush botanical vibe for sipping on a sunny afternoon. The space is so versatile with a small stage for performances and TVs showing music videos. They even brought in a basketball shootout game one night! The crowd is a great mix of people as it absolutely nails being a space for the whole LGBTQ+ community. My wife and I felt very welcome which many queer women will know is not always the case in some other gay bars. They even have a dedicated night for queer women each Wednesday! Gender neutral single room bathrooms ensure everyone feels welcome and keeps the line moving when it gets busy. Cocktail menu, draft beers, canned seltzers, NA offerings, and friendly and knowledgable bartenders who can make you just about anything.

Such a beautiful bar, beautiful and talented performers, huge fan of the layout. They have drag shows every Friday and Saturday. 10/10 Will come again 🪩❤️
