The Selden
Midtown, Reno
Bar in Reno, United States
Why go
Book The Selden when the night should revolve around drag, dancing, karaoke, trivia, or queer-friendly Midtown Reno energy. At $$, the value is strongest if the group wants entertainment and community atmosphere with drinks, not a cocktail-program showcase or food-focused plan.
About The Selden
The Selden is a Reno venue with $$ pricing and a smart casual dress code. Beyond those basics, the public details available here are limited, so it should not be framed around a specific cuisine, drinks program, event calendar, service format, address, neighborhood, or reservation policy without checking the venue directly. The safest way to plan is to treat it as a Reno option where price level and dress expectations are known, then confirm the current experience before going.
For a first-timer, the practical decision is simple: use the $$ price point to set budget expectations, and dress smart casual. If the visit depends on a particular menu, entertainment format, seating setup, dietary accommodation, happy hour, or late-night schedule, verify those details with The Selden before making it the centerpiece of the plan. With only limited details, the strongest recommendation is to plan around what is confirmed rather than assume a specific style of night.
The clearest confirmed details are direct: The Selden is in Reno, it is priced at $$, and the dress code is smart casual. That makes it useful for guests who want a Reno venue with a moderate price expectation and a polished-but-not-formal clothing standard. It does not, by itself, confirm what kind of food, drinks, entertainment, seating, or service format to expect on a given visit.
Value here should be judged cautiously. The $$ price level gives a general sense of cost, but there is not enough detail to make claims about specific cocktails, dishes, events, or service style. If those details matter to your group, confirm them with the venue before going.

Who should go, and who should pick another plan
The Selden is easiest to recommend for guests who are comfortable making plans from limited information: Reno location, $$ pricing, and smart casual dress. It may be a fit when the group can be flexible and is willing to confirm current details before arrival. It is less suitable as the only plan if you need certainty about a particular menu, entertainment schedule, seating arrangement, accessibility detail, reservation policy, or food-and-drink format.
Smart casual is the confirmed dress guidance, so avoid planning for either a formal or overly casual dress standard unless the venue says otherwise.
