Definitely the closest you're going to get to an authentic Irish pub in Northern Nevada, from the decor to the music and of course the drink selection. The owner and frequent bartender, Ron, is wonderful! If he doesn't know you he introduces himself with a handshake and makes it a point to remember your name, while the other bartenders do the same. Therefore it's a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They do not serve food, but there is a popcorn machine which is nice, and I assume you can byof. I believe they regularly host live performers by local artists, such as fiddle players, adding to the Irish solid Irish vibe. They have great happy hour deals AND they allow [well-behaved] dogs!!

Quality/Quantity - Parley 6 IPA - Supporting local. Smithwick's Irish Red - When in an Irish pub... Nice whiskey selection, but I have a show to watch at GSR later today and did not want to fall asleep, lol. Atmosphere - Small local pub. Friendly and welcoming. Small stage with live bands, see picture or website. Small parking lot, don't even bother, plenty of street parking. Open 5 days a week from 4pm to close. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Service - 6 stars. They welcomed our team. Approved us bringing in food (from Pizza Plus) for our event. The waitress and the bar service were perfect. Came and got our drink orders often. Price - HH $5 beers. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007. Our team has been regular customers since??? So I guess we will be coming here more often.

I recently tried Ceol for the first time and Ron (owner) along with other staff made me feel like a regular. This pub is one of the best I've been to anywhere. I felt like I was in Dublin.

I have dropped by Ceol a few times in the last month and I can see it being a regular spot to get a drink, hang with friends, and listen to some live music. The place can get packed and having a conversation is probably not on the agenda unless you plan on shouting, which a lot of people do. The staff is so friendly and stop to chat with you as they make their way from table to table. Parking is only on the street and I usually end up walking a block or two. My favorite seasonal drink is the hot apple pie.

I didn't eat, I simply went in and had a few pints of Guinness. Ron (the owner) was behind the bar and was very welcoming to the handful of folks in there. Pints are good, although I would prefer them in a proper Guinness glass over typical American pint. Looks to be a great place to hear music and enjoy the weather as I has spacious front and rear outdoor seating areas with roll up doors. I'll certainly go back if I'm in town again. Thanks for the pints and conversation.

Wonderful stop for after-dinner drinks. They have an awesome selection of whisky, draft beers and warm drinks. I recommend the Irish coffee and hot mctoddy.

Not one person here knew the "whiskey and water" quote form The Quiet Man! ONE STAR!!! But seriously, Ceol is always a joy to visit. Be it for a pint of the black stuff, or whatever other suitably Celtic libation you could be fancying. This is their new location, having moved a few blocks from the older spot, and it is certainly good to have them back. The bar still has a sort of small, cozy setting, but with a few new front and back patio areas, and set back a bit from the busy street, with the interior festooned with Irish flags and paraphernalia, a few bar games scattered about, and a stage for hosting the rotation of musicians who pass through. The tap list has all the staples you could want. Guinness, of course, is always a main attraction. But in case you don't want to wait a few minutes for a properly-poured-pint, the tap list includes things like Harp, Smithwick's, and several domestic and local brews. But these guys also shine in the rest of their bar menu. A superb selection of whiskey's, but that goes without saying. Wine, ciders, spirits, as well as cocktails and house specialties. I would highly recommend trying the Ceol Coffee, which is perfect on a nice chilly evening. Or if you want something sweeter, a small glass of Irish Mist is quite pleasant to sip on, if I do say so myself. I also need to tip my hat to the staff, who constantly provide very friendly, prompt, attentive service each time I swing through. Especially this past weekend, having visited on St. Patrick's Day. As you can imagine, this was one of the epicenters for green-garbed celebrations here in Reno, and the crew were doing a real bang-up job handling orders and managing the crowds. As for a few last odds and ends: Prices for everything are on par with most other pubs here in town, and there's a nice happy hour. No food options, except the popcorn machine. Parking is limited to only three spaces out front, but the surrounding neighborhoods have usually plenty of street spaces. And I would be remiss if I didn't make mention of their Beer Truck, too. In my opinion, they run the best beverage wagon in the city, though only in operation during summer food truck events or other such occasions. Not the biggest selection of drinks, though with a few beers along with usually some wine and cider, they nevertheless really excel in serving them up fast and keeping the line moving. Definitely seek them out this summer. All in all, it is easy to see why so many folks have such fond opinions of Ceol. For sure top marks all around, and will always look forward to heading back down for a pint and wee dram.

The new location of Ceol is a cozier version of the old pub. I'd love to see if they are going to have music during the summer, maybe outside on the patio? Stopped by here on a Wednesday to have a drink with friends. The bartender was very friendly, and made some good whiskey recommendations. If you come for wine, you'll be disappointed. This is a bar with good beer and whiskey, simple as that. I'd love to see them serve their sangria in the bar though. They usually only serve it on their food (beer) truck and it's soooooo good. I guess I'll have to find them this summer for that!

It was busy tonight and good to see. We dropped in during happy hour, 4-6 everyday they are open and enjoyed a couple beers and a little whiskey. The service was friendly, the crowd lively and the beer selection very good. Haven't seen a Odell's 90 schilling amber on draft in these part before. They are still waiting on permits to have live music, but hopefully that will happen soon.

Ceol has moved! It's no longer on S Virginia; it's now on California, between Lander and Creek, quite close to Arlington. The bar is set back from the road, with a small parking lot with room for four cars in front. There's lots of street parking in that area as well as another small lot that you access from Lander. I prefer the new space to the old space: it's larger and more open. The bar area looks classic deep wood. There's lots of seating inside as well as outside in the front and back areas for when the weather is nice. Quiet dogs are permitted in the bar. Ceol regularly changes their special mixed drink offerings, which are enticing. Yes, I would like a warm wintry beverage with lots of liquor and cream! There is also an ample beer and wine menu. Friends with varied tastes can drink happily together here. I am part of a running club that meets here on the 5th Wednesdays of the month in the evening, and I am so impressed with the service. We descend on the bar all at once after our run, but they slang those drink orders quickly. In my experience, the bartenders monitor the tables for empties and proactively stop by the tables to ask if patrons would like another round. When you're deep in group conversation but folks want more, this level of service is so appreciated. They will even cash you out and bring the credit card reader to the table! I am so glad to see Ceol thriving in this new instantiation. Highly recommend this gem that folks might overlook because the exterior is so unassuming.
