Nestled on South Virginia Street in Reno, this spot effortlessly blends the casual vibe of a local hangout with the vibrant heartbeat of a dance hall and night club.

The space carries an energetic, yet approachable pace, especially when the soulful rhythms of country music invite guests to shed their reservations and join in line dancing lessons or simply enjoy the evening flow. The lighting is dim and cozy, framing moments of laughter and clinking glasses without overwhelming the senses. It’s a venue where familiar faces and newcomers mingle, sharing stories and songs under the steady pulse of a DJ spinning fan favorites and requests alike.

Whether it’s a perfectly toasted pretzel paired with nacho cheese or a fresh, thoughtfully composed salad, the menu complements the atmosphere of good times and easy conversations. The bar offers a selection designed to satisfy both the casual sipper and the lively crowd, lending a subtle warmth to the evening’s unfolding.

It’s a place where the soundtrack of twanging guitars and spirited calls to dance meet the simple pleasure of gathering friends, savoring a meal, and embracing a shared moment of joy. Whether you come for the music, the food, or the chance to dance a little, Pure Country Canteen invites you to slow down, step inside, and find your own rhythm amidst its genuine, down-to-earth charm.

Amazing place to go to. There are free line dancing lessons Sunday through Friday night for a hour. Great atmosphere and food!

Amazing place. Wish the kids weren’t allowed to stay so late on family days Wednesday and Sunday. Especially during school days. Kids love to cause drama. Also wish they did more partner dances and swing dances. But I understand they have to tend to the majority of the crowed. Would recommend this place to everyone!!

I stopped in for beer and dinner so way before it gets busy. Friendly bar tender and he was advertising they take requests for music. It was $6.50 for ~16 oz draught beer and $12.95 for a pulled pork sandwich served with chips. They didn't skimp on the meat, but it also meant that I had to use the chips to scoop up the meat that fell out of the sandwich since they don't provide utensils (possibly I could have asked for a plastic fork). It has a nice traditional country dance hall vibe, fairly good-sized dance floor, dedicated mechanical bull space ($10 to ride), and a bunch of tables scattered around the floor. Long walk-up bar (no stools there) so that there is plenty of room to order. It's the best country bar in Reno so far.

Cool place to go and line dance if you're not a chicken! It's pretty dark inside but not too dark they did have some sort of glow thing event the night I went drinks are a little spendy a glass of Moscato wine and 1 white Russian in a on the rocks glass cost $25 bucks plus was told no cover charge and it was $ 6 per person .. I did get my birthday shot thou that was nice except the tequila was house need I say more! But all in all a good hoppin place to go line dance

I have been coming here for about a month. I have met some great people. The atmosphere is wonderful, I feel safe and the employees are top notch. This is the only bar I will go to here in Reno, NV.
