Fish sandwich, garlic fries, black lab stout
Gino D.

What a find. I just happen to be passing by at the time I decided to get a bite to eat. Awesome beers Great food Great service Black lab stout with a fish sandwich and garlic fries, all was really good.

Is it a drink or a dessert? Either way you're going to love it. Show Steve this pic and he'll know what to make.

This is a great neighborhood bar with incredible food. Martin, the chef, can make a simple order of fries or chips and salsa taste like something you'd get on the strip. Steve, the bartender, has a wicked sense of humor and a great rapport with the customers. I asked him to make me something "sweet and ice creamy" and he knocked it out of the park. I forgot to get the name of this drink, but show him the picture and you'll be treated to one of the most satisfying drink that thinks it's a dessert!

I was meeting a friend at Geri's Old Philadelphia (next door) and had a 1/2 hour to kill since I got there early....so, I wandered in this joint to have a couple of Beers while I burned some time. The place is really, really dark. It took my eyes a few minutes to adjust to the darkness. After I got my bearings, I saddled up to the bar and asked the bartender what they had on tap. He said they had no domestics on tap and mumbled off a short list....all I remember hearing was Alaskan Ale, so I said let's go for that. Wait, isn't that domestic? Ha, ok.... He brought me a pint and I sat back and watched Sports Center while a handful of guys played Video Poker at the bar. They serve food here as I saw a patron get a Burger & Fries.....the weird thing is that they allow smoking at the Bar...hmmm, you're not suppose to be able to eat and smoke in the same place. They must not care about getting fined. Whatever....the place smells like a smoker's den, so I guess it attracts smokers. I don't think the regulars care. The bartender was friendly but quiet....not much of a talker. I had my 2 Beers and left to meet my buddy for lunch @ Geri's. Will I return? Probably not...this was a one-hitter quitter, not really my style of bar.

Sunday morning special come dowm.and try it

The glorious Double Down Saloon. In the modern era of glitzy, flashy, and ultra processed Vegas,…read morethe DD will provide you with an absolute respite from all of that the moment you walk in the door. This is a glorious punk-oriented dive bar. That should be real clear from the distance you have to travel into a very undescript section of Vegas to get to it. On the outside, everything should already be screaming YES to you if you have a taste for great bars like these. For example, the first time I ever visited, on top of the marquee bill was Jello Biafra. Yeah it's like that. The music, the vibe, the crud - it's all on point. The cocktails are colorfully named and presented (I'm sure plenty of reviews will highlight the toilet shot) but I'd say they're kind of the weakest part of this joint. Just stick to straight booze, rejoice that you're not surrounded by as loud AF bachelorette party on a casino floor, and get hammered in the "Happiest Place on Earth'.

Fantastic grungy dive bar in Las Vegas!…read more I honestly can't believe it's taken us so long to check this venue out, especially since concerts are always free here. Our favorite punk band, The Mormons, happened to be playing here which is what drew us in. Loved the atmosphere with dollar bills and some R rated photo strips hanging around the bar area along with various stickers & graffiti filling the rest of the space. Truly feels like a quintessential Vegas dive bar. Bartenders weren't overly friendly, just there to do their job, but they served beers / cocktails quickly. We had a few PBR's which were $5 each. Fellow patrons were really friendly. I even made a friend during the show! For anyone with sensitive ears, the speakers are LOUD, so be sure to bring your ear protection. I loved the loud music, but my husband was suffering a bit. As per a usual dive bar, it is also smoky inside. If cigarette smoke bothers you, snag a spot near the entrance since they leave the door open for fresh air. This was everything I expected from a dive bar with a small stage for cool bands. We'll be back!

What's not to love? Cold beer, great prices, service, and a beefy hotdog, at this dive bar not far…read moreoff the monorail and within walking distance of The Sphere.

My first visit here was my best and I'll tell you why. Sometime in the late 1990s I drove solo to…read moreLas Vegas to meet my friend here and stayed at the Sahara for $19 a night for 2 nights. I think I didn't take more than $200 for the entire trip. I typically only bet on sports back then. I was beckoned by the 50¢ beers and the tasty 1/4 pound all beef hot dog here. I still get these to this day. So I remember having only about $15 in my wallet and about $60 in the bank. And I needed to ensure I had money for gas to make it back home. After 2- 50¢ beers and playing video poker down to my last 75¢, I hit a Royal Flush which does not trigger the bonus without max bet....which would have been $1000 if I had played $1.25.. But I didn't have $1.25. I was down to my last 75¢. Nonetheless it was still a jackpot to me even though it was $187.50! Almost enough for my truck payment at the time. This made the trip totally worth it after getting beat down on sports betting. The beers are still $2-3 and shots of Patron are $7. By far the cheapest place to get your buzz started, and right on the center of the strip behind Flamingo hotel and casino. The store on the backside is among the cheapest as well to buy jugs of water, single beers and snacks. It is a dive bar/casino and I feel absolutely comfortable here. Heavy security at the entrance and they ask you if you're going to the store or the casino. Though anything you buy you must leave at the door. It's a tiny casino with maybe a total of 25 slot and video poker machines. I will say, if you are looking for ambience or nice decor don't bother coming here.

Did someone say Signature Detroit Style Pizza?? Tiki Bar?? Well then count me in! Love the dive…read morebar energy I felt as soon as I walked in. We have been wanting to try this place for sometime as we had heard how tasty the pizza is. Little did I know I would be taking a trip down memory lane due to the location of this place. It's cool and dark upon entry and that's how a tiki bar should be. The bar is shaped like a piano from the previous tenant. Nice stage in the corner as this is a punk rock bar that offers nightly/weekend entertainment. We walked in late afternoon and grabbed a couple of seats at the bar. Vanessa was our bartender and her service was spot on. We looked at the delicious cocktail list but we both felt like a beer. For the pizza we built our own. One pizza was pure pepperoni/cheese/sauce and the other one we ordered came with the brown sugar glazed ham, mushrooms and red sauce. This pizza was really quite delicious and so hot. I even tasted a little spice in the sauce which made the pizza even better. They are not stingy with the toppings. I had so many pepperoni's on my pizza, I lost count. The crust is caramelized and crunchy. They also offer vegan modifications for their pizzas so everyone can eat here. On Sundays, they offer the Surf Sunday Brunch with live bands each week from 11am - 4pm. I truly am looking forward to returning as I really enjoyed the pizza, the service and the vibe. FUN FACT: There once stood a night club/tavern back in the day called The Keyboard Lounge in this space and it was so fun to relive some great memories of dancing and drinking here!

I had never been to Red Dwarf before. I had, however, ordered pizza from there through Uber Eats…read more My partner & I decided to check it out in person. It was nothing we had expected. It's this AMAZING, intimate venue on the east side of town. It's a cross between Tiki Bar meets Dive Bar meets Pizza Bar. Super freaking koo! Sarah was our Bartender/Server. There are no 'servers' but because it wasn't too busy Sarah was on top of us making sure that we were taken care of. We ordered the classic Detroit Style Cheese Pizza. To be honest the only reason why it didn't get a 5 star is because I'm pretty tight on giving out my 5 stars to Pizza spot. As a New Yorker (originally) & South Floridian (currently residing in Vegas) it's tough to spot 5 star pizza. I've yet to find one. The only challenge I saw is that it came out in 4 small rectangular pieces. Although Detroit style is that size it usually comes out in 6. I'm not sure why they did that, nevertheless, it was still absolutely exceptional. The pizza was nice & hot. It was perfectly crisp & the cheese & sauce were spectacular. I think the presentation could have looked a little better. When I ordered it online it came to my house looking better than it did. Regardless, it still was absolutely delicious! We also got a couple of delicious beers to wash the pizza down. I got this tasty Amber IPA & my Partner ordered a Hefeweizen. We are definitely coming back to try some more! As well as come back when they have the Red Dward Tiki Mug that they were currently sold out of. Thank you Team Red Dwarf!

Fun! Themed! Dark! Live music! Great bartenders!…read more This place has an interesting history and was even on tv, google bar rescue. It gets themed for Halloween and Christmas, meaning a special menu and lots of decorations. There's live music every night starting at 6pm on weekends. I was really impressed by all the Halloween stuff. I heard this place goes all out and they really do. Both bartenders on duty when we were here were awesome. I'll have to come back in December to see what Christmas is like here.

One of Vegas's most iconic music bars, with live performances every night…read more For us, the draw is always the blues - real musicians, real instruments, real soul. And then there are the seasonal themes, like The Haunting for Halloween and Miracle on Spring Mountain at Christmas, where they go all-in and transform the entire space. The drinks are strong yet smooth, and the themed cocktails are not just delicious but genuinely beautiful. The creativity here is a full 10 out of 10. The crowd is a fascinating mix of every type of person you can imagine. If you're into games, there's gaming, pool, and shuffleboard. The lights are dim (everyone looks better), and the corners are gritty in the best ways. You might remember this bar from an old Bar Rescue episode - but a lot has changed since then. New management, new energy, and now the Sand Dollar is thriving. Mocktails are also available and they even make pizza's for anyone who gets hungry.
