🕵️‍♀️ Frequently Asked Questions

The Tattler’s Truth Booth

Question 1: ❓ Who (or what) is the Reno Sparks Tattler?

The Reno Sparks Tattler is your local insider — part storyteller, part sleuth, part bartender — who’s seen and heard it all from behind the bar. We share the best (and sometimes juiciest) parts of Reno and Sparks — from hidden gem restaurants and dive bars to the biggest events, scenes, and casino secrets worth knowing.

Question 2: 🍸 How does the Tattler’s Rating System work?

We use our Five-Card Rating System to rate businesses on atmosphere, service, quality, value, and local charm.

1 Card: “Whisper Worthy? Not yet.”

5 Cards: “The Tattler’s Royal Flush.”
Every review is written with honesty, experience, and a shot of old-fashioned wit.

Question 3: 🎰 What kinds of places do you rate or review?

If it happens in Reno or Sparks, we’re probably there — casinos, bars, restaurants, hotels, local events, festivals, and more. Whether it’s the best seafood downtown, steakhouses that sizzle, or hole-in-the-wall dives that only locals know about, we’ve got it covered.

Question 4: 📅 Do you cover local events and festivals?

Absolutely. The Tattler’s Calendar keeps you in the loop on live music, foodie festivals, art walks, parades, and the occasional underground bash that’s too good to stay secret.

Question 5: 🏆 Can businesses ask to be featured or reviewed?

They can ask — but they can’t buy our rating.
We love discovering new spots and are open to invitations for review, photo ops, or special tastings, but our ratings stay 100% earned, never bought.

Question 6: 💬 How can I submit a tip, event, or recommendation?

Easy. Head to our “Tell Me a Secret” page — drop a line, share your find, or whisper about a place that deserves attention. You can stay anonymous or let us know who to credit when we spill the tea.

Question 7: 🥂 Can I advertise with the Tattler?

Yes, but with style. We partner with select local businesses that fit our audience — high-quality, community-driven, and authentic.
If you think you’re a good fit, reach out through our Contact page for collaboration details.

Question 8: 📸 Do you accept photo submissions?

We sure do! If you’ve snapped something worth tattling about — a killer cocktail, a local legend, or a neon-lit night you’ll never forget — send it to our Gallery Submission section. The best shots get featured (and sometimes rewarded).

Question 9: 💡 How often do you update reviews?

We update as often as the scene changes — which in Reno and Sparks, means pretty often.
If a bar cleans up its act or a new chef turns the menu around, we’ll be back to deal them a fresh hand.

Question 10: 🔮 Why “Tattler”? Isn’t that a little mischievous?

Exactly.
The name’s a nod to old-school gossip columns, speakeasy chatter, and that one bartender who always knows more than he should — but only tells just enough to keep you coming back for another round.
