Venue guide · Reno & Sparks · Reno
Catering at McKinley Arts & Culture Center.
1910 schoolhouse arts center on Riverside Drive with rentable rooms/grounds. Indoor + outdoor.
Catering policy: The venue's posted rental information says it plainly (rented under the same City of Reno program as the California Building (reno.gov facility rentals)): the caterer is your call. Bring the one you actually want to eat.
Historic rooms reward careful catering: protected floors, quiet load-ins, and service that matches the room's manners. The crew has stood in a lot of century-old buildings without leaving a mark.
Feeding this venue is a logistics job before it is a cooking job, and the crew does both: timed arrival, self-contained equipment, a serving line that fits the room, and a teardown nobody notices. The food is the easy part; the kitchen has been making it since 1995.
Planning tip: get the venue's rules on alcohol in writing before dreaming about the bar. Where outside bar service is allowed, the nine-tap Mobile Pub handles the rest.
