While McKinney Loft isn't exactly hidden, it doesn't have its own Yelp page, either.
Sure, the lighting is fluorescent, and the background music is punctuated by the occasional sounds of bumping shopping carts and fake rainstorms to keep the produce moist. But that's a small price to pay for the bar's main selling points: Parking is free and ample, the beer and wine are cheap, and you can always find a seat., that's more than enough for many locals to decide it's their favorite bar in town.
It may not have century-old historic charm or offer unique beers on tap, but it's cheap, roomy and, most importantly, possibly the only bar in Truckee never to have elbow-to-elbow crowds or 20-minute waits for a drink on holiday weekends. And if you're a local, or at least drinking like one, you'll know that the bars with “historic charm” on the north shore have some significant downsides: They're small, expensive and in crowded areas where parking can be all but impossible.
The bar at Raley's runs the length of the store, with seating options ranging from oversized armchairs to couches, tables and work chairs, and a dozen or so high-rise stools lining the surprisingly large bar. And sure, the views look out over rainbow-colored aisles of olive oil bottles, cage-free eggs and organic fruit . It doesn't have views of Tahoe, and you won't find any old-timers with fond memories of spending their summers at the Raley's bar.
