Kick off the week the right way at The Tap Shack, where the stage heats up early and the drinks don’t mess around.

Keith Lindsey of Reckless Envy strips it down for a solo set packed with grit, soul, and the kind of songs that hit a little harder when it’s just a man and his guitar. Expect a mix of originals and crowd-favorite covers with that signature Tap Shack edge.

This is how Wednesdays are done at The Music Mecca of Carson City—intimate, electric, and just unpredictable enough to turn into a full-blown night.

No cover. Full bar. No excuses.

This isn’t your average karaoke night… this is Kasual Karaoke at The Tap Shack, where the crowd becomes the show and the energy takes on a life of its own.

Step up, grab the mic, and own your moment—whether you’re channeling your inner rockstar or just here for the laughs and liquid courage.

Every Thursday, the patio (or inside if needed) turns into Carson City’s most unpredictable concert… and yes, sometimes the best performance comes from someone who swore they “weren’t singing tonight.”

Starts at 7 PM Strong drinks. Loud crowd. Zero judgment.

Get ready for a full-on throwback night at The Tap Shack as 2 Man Advantage takes over with a high-energy set of 90s and 2000s alternative rock.

This duo brings big sound, big attitude, and just the right amount of edge to turn a Friday night into a full-blown party.

If you like your music loud, nostalgic, and just a little gritty—this is your night.

Ease into your Saturday with a laid-back afternoon set during the Carson City Wine Walk at The Tap Shack patio.

It’s the kind of set where conversations flow, drinks stay full, and the music wraps around the patio like a warm breeze.

When the sun goes down, the boots come out.

Hays & Brueggertt take over The Tap Shack for a night of real-deal country music, with Rick Hays leading the charge. No fluff, no polish—just the kind of sound that belongs in a bar where the drinks are strong and the crowd knows every word.

This is country music the way it was meant to be heard… loud enough to feel it, raw enough to believe it.

If you’re looking for a dance floor, a singalong, or just a damn good time—this is your Saturday night.

7 PM – 10 PM No cover | Full bar | Good times guaranteed
