This is a update of my previous 2007 review.
Doppelgangers is in the old Silver Spur casino (replaced Stews Sportatorium). They did some initial redecorating but aside from losing the powder blue facade, it looks pretty much the same as Stews out front. The biggest change is the new shaded patio bar (with misters) in the back and an updated decor in the back room to provide a comfortable dining area. The long casino bar still sits in front of the brewing room which is visible through large windows. There are tall and standard tables for additional seating plus several TVs.
There are usually about a half dozen house brews on tap. I typically enjoy either the IPA and the Imperial Stout. Their award winning V&T Honey Ale is also tasty.
The menu has been updated to include several nice entrees as well as a variety of pizza and pasta plus a fair selection of salads, sandwiches and burgers. There is usually plenty of parking on the side street and out back.

This is the perfect place for a brew-pub, beautiful historic building in downtown, unfortunately however, the perfections stops there. The ales are always good, sometimes excellent. They had a world class brewmaster for a year of so, and the brewer they have now is also very knowledgable.
Their food used to be good, but inconsistant. Their Service was consistant, but consistantly bad!
They always have around 8 ales on tap, Blonde, Pale Ale, Porter, Amber, sometimes a Stout, and an good, hoppy IPA, some others I haven't tried.
For the last few years they have consistantly changed their hours, then recently they decided they were going to be a nightclub and they closed the restaurant. Now they are open sometimes for dinner, sometimes not. Ironically they also serve coors and bud in bottles, usually the sign of a brewpub that is about to go under.

July 2009

Large open facility. Several high top tables and a large bar that sits 30 plus people. Up front is a stage area for bands. The night I was here, a Saturday night, they had a DJ playing rather loudly to the dozen or so people in the place.

The night I was there, the bartender was practicing his flare routines. I guess he's looking to move up to Reno or Vegas once he gets it perfected a bit more.

Eight beers on tap with samplers available including a very nice IPA.

A really nice place for a bite to eat and some good brew. Pickings are kinda slim here in Northern Nevad but, this is one of the best I've come across. It's got a great old school saloon type feel to it. It's located in picturesque Carson City and nothing beats the view of the Sierra Nevadas. Their selections of beers was decent compared to most here in Nevada. The Honey Ale was my personal favorite. The food at most of the brewpubs I've been to was...let's say below average at best. However, at Doppelganger's the food was excellent. A pleasant surprise to compliment the outstanding brews.
