The Eddy

The Eddy is an outdoor beer garden and collaborative community space located at 16 S Sierra St in Downtown Reno, Nevada, directly on the Truckee River Riverwalk. It describes itself as a place built for the community at large — anyone can come to enjoy the outdoors, see local art, play free yard games, hear live music, and take free fitness classes while enjoying a drink from one of its three bars. The venue is family-friendly and all-ages during the day and dog-friendly for well-behaved pups. The Eddy's beverage program centers on an outdoor beer garden that pours 24 craft beers on tap, 10 fine wines on tap, and hand-crafted cocktails. Its seasonal programming includes a Fall Menu and recurring daily events, and it hosts private and public events such as golf-themed gatherings, Latin-themed nights, and football watch parties. The venue also partners with local artists to display and install artwork; its Friends & Artists page highlights collaborators such as Feral Studio, a collective known for site-specific sculptural installations, and self-taught Reno artist and builder Chris Wyatt Scott. The Eddy is operated by a small management team. Kurt Stitser serves as President, Phil Buckheart as Vice President, Jered Caudle and Vic Diaz as General Managers, Laurel Stout-Stitser leads Marketing & Business Development, and Rachel van Huyssteen is Controller. The business is privately held and does not disclose a founding year or parent company in the available evidence. It maintains an active presence on Facebook and Instagram and promotes a season running from March to December. As a downtown Reno hospitality venue, The Eddy positions itself as "the best beer garden in Downtown Reno," combining a casual outdoor drinking destination with community programming and local art. Its address, phone number, and events email are published on its website, and it markets itself as open to suggestions and ideas from the public.
