Pine Knot Tavern

Pine Knot Tavern in Sparks runs twenty-two screens covering every major league package available in the market. The kitchen stays open until one in the morning, which is the actual reason regulars keep coming back long after games end. Wing flights cycle through a dozen sauces, some house-made and some not, and are labeled honestly. The smashburgers are better than the price suggests.

The local draft list runs eight handles, rotating by season. Full bar with the full lineup. Happy hour covers the whole menu Monday through Friday from three to six. The parking lot is large and free. There is a kids menu and the room is family-friendly before nine on weeknights.

The room gets loud on playoff nights but does not get disorganized. The staff has been working these kinds of crowds for a while.
