The Depot Craft Brewery & Distillery sits in downtown Reno at 325 E 4th Street, occupying a restored historic building that perfectly captures the city’s industrial heritage. Founded as both a brewery and distillery operation, this spot has become a cornerstone of Reno’s growing craft beverage scene. The space combines the rustic charm of exposed brick and steel with modern brewing and distilling equipment, creating an atmosphere that feels both rooted in history and forward-thinking.
What started as an ambitious project to bring craft distilling to northern Nevada has evolved into a full-scale operation that produces both beer and spirits under one roof. The founders recognized that Reno was ready for something more than just another bar—they wanted to create a place where locals could watch the entire process unfold, from grain to glass. The dual focus on brewing and distilling allows them to experiment with unique flavor profiles and cross-pollination between their beer and spirits programs.
Visitors get to experience both sides of the operation in a space that feels authentically Reno. You’re not just tasting finished products—you’re seeing the mashbills, smelling the fermentation, and getting a real sense of how small-batch spirits come together. The location puts you right in the heart of downtown, making it easy to combine a visit with exploring Reno’s other attractions, but once you’re inside, the focus shifts entirely to the craft and community that drives this operation.
