The Reno Arts District and the Reno Riverwalk are right downtown and just south of the casinos. This area is home to great restaurants and bars, an outdoor beer garden, shopping areas and a walkway along the Truckee River. The central point of the area is Wingfield Park, which is located on an island in the middle of the river. Various events such as the annual tree lighting and July's Artown are held here. There is an amphitheater and access to the river as well as a few swimming holes. Also along this area are several bars and coffee shops including The Jungle and the popular Sierra Tap House. Popular restaurants include the excellent Beaujolais Bistro, the Wild River Grille and The Reef sushi restaurant.
