02/07/2026 bathroom rules! lol
Gina C.

My friend's & I stopped in here last Saturday with a Meetup group. There was a band on one side but we choose not to sit on that side as it didn't seem inviting or comfortable so we went next door to the bar side & grabbed some seats @ the bar. I signed up for a player's card but no great freebies right away. Dillion was the one who signed me up for my card, he was nice. Alyssa was the bartender who took care of my friend's & I. I really liked her. She was friendly, engaged in conversation with us & was quick to wait on us & bring us our drinks. I played some video poker but didn't win anything. Bathrooms are single, male and female and they're strict on boys using the boys & girls using the girls per a sign they have hung up....lol There is one pool table & a few tall table tops you can hang out at. It does seem more of a dive bar with a younger crowd, like 20 year olds. My friend's & I were prob the oldest ones on the bar side.....lol I love the outdoor décor, so cute!!

Stopped by Gold Mine Tavern on Water Street for drinks and ended up staying way longer than I planned....such a fun and welcoming spot! The atmosphere is laid-back but full of energy, and you can tell it's a favorite local hangout that's been around forever. The bartenders are friendly and know how to pour a great drink, the crowd is always a good mix of locals and visitors, and there's often live music on weekends that keeps the vibe lively without being overwhelming. If you're into places with character rather than cookie-cutter bar chains, this is your kind of joint. Whether you're bar-hopping down Water Street or just looking for a classic Henderson tavern with good drinks and good people, this place hits the mark. Definitely worth a visit!

Great place in the neighborhood. Cool vibes nice outdoor patio. The Gold Mine Tavern, opened in 1965, is a cherished landmark and Henderson's oldest bar, proudly anchoring the revitalized Water Street District. With its glowing vintage neon sign and welcoming dive-bar charm, it has long been a favorite gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Since its thoughtful refresh in 2018, the tavern continues to honor its storied past while embracing a vibrant future--offering live music, community spirit, and a warm nod to Henderson's hard working roots.

Deep dive into the divebar..Last minute we met friends for the NFC championship game here. Do know this place has no food options but lets you bring in whatever. I can tell you the bartender made a mean spi-zee Bloody Mary just the way I'm like them. A very friendly "Cheers" vibe about the place. Nothing fancy just football, drinks and ordered in food.

I haven't been to Water Street in Henderson in probably 10+ years but glad I went. We had dinner reservations nearby and were early so walked to the Gold Mine Tavern for a cocktail. It was a Saturday night and the place was pretty busy. We were able to order a round of drinks for 3 and a bar stool opened up. The bartenders are quick. Drink prices are great. They have gaming, so played a little Keno. The band was warming up but we had to leave for our dinner reservations. Great vibe, I'm sure it got even busier once the band got going. They don't serve food but there was a food truck right outside that was also busy. Would definitely be back, live music is always a plus.

Met bartender/manager Kori at another bar she recommended we go to her bar and if she's there she'd get us a round. We go in and she's not there and the people in there were HELLA mean mugging my friend and I. Bartender matt was halfway mean mugging us, too. Bad vibes all around. Maybe if Kori was there we wouldn't have dealt with that weirdly racist situation.

Well, we came on a night when we couldn't figure anywhere else, and didn't want to drive downtown. What a treat this place was! I mentioned on the way in we had never been, and the hostess immediate put a wristband on us to check out the band playing in the "venue" part of the bar, because we just "had to see the whole place" if it was our first trip. It was a band called Belmont. We are into all kinds of music, and they were great. We met in Chicago, and this band was from Chicago, so that was also like a cool thing/awesome coincidence. I went with my usual drink, and my husband got their beer. It was just a nice light beer. I have to say, the drinks were pretty strong, or I drank them up too fast because I got a little drunk after we got home. Yikes! The food was pretty good, even though it isn't a huge menu. The knots were good, salad tasty, and my husband enjoyed the wings. We didn't get to try the pizza, but will be back for sure to check some out.

Let's just say...where has this cover band been all my life?! The five of us got in line at 7:30pm, just to get a good spot on the floor right when the doors opened at 8:00pm. Admission to get in was free and we were allowed to bring in our own water and snacks. A small bar is also located inside. I drove here so I couldn't really drink any alcohol or cocktails, plus I left my water in the car, so I got myself a soda, which was only $3 plus tip. What a deal! Club Madrid is one of the coziest clubs I've been to so far. The surround sound was perfect (not too quiet or too loud) and the dance floor is very spacious. Seeing everybody dance along to their favorite classic rock songs was totally awesome, and I got to dance myself and get up close with the band at one point. As someone who has parents that listened to a bunch of classic rock when I was younger and being hooked onto it ever since, I knew and sang along to every song that they played. Some songs on their set list were Back in Black by AC/DC, Any Way You Want It by Journey, Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith, and Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. They took the stage at 9:00pm, where they played for about two hours (no intermission) before closing their show with Hot For Teacher by Van Halen. Two people in our meetup group had to leave a little early, but myself and two others stayed for the entire duration of the show. Hint: if you want to see YBR perform, their next show will be at Boulder Station on 4/25/25. They are AMAZING and you will NOT be disappointed.

You can also sit or stand at a table top. The bar opens up and has some big screens (we watched the winter X-Games hosted in Aspen) and a great view of the stage in Club Madrid. I enjoyed a Bloody Mary with extra olives. The bartender is fast, friendly, and makes a tasty drink. He keeps a clean and stocked bar. You can tell he enjoys his job. Everyone was singing along with the band and the seats were full. The only draw back on this particular visit was the smoking. I had to leave. I was getting a headache. The ventilation at this time is temporarily hindered due to the wall that is up right behind that area. The Casino is doing a wonderful job of renovating and unfortunately until that area is complete it's not as enjoyable. You must checkout The Sports book! It is amazing. So nice! I'm looking forward to 80's night when the construction is done.

We got lucky getting there early, because it was really starting to fill up inside and out once it started! Note that The Speakeasy is 21+ only. We sat with a guy who was sitting alone at one of the tables out on the patio on the first floor - it turns out his girlfriend works here. We were all given a round of tequila shots, where I selected the silver tequila, their lightest one that they had available. They did two more rounds of tequila shots later that night, but I only did one because I drove here. One of my friends had another Jack Daniel's, which was her third one of the night. Their full drinks come with a cool light-up marble that changes color. While my friends went to go dance along with the live band that was playing various music from the 80's and 90's, I stayed behind and ordered some food, which was well needed for me. I ordered the grill cheese sandwich (stylized as THE Grilled Cheese on their menu) with fries on the side. Various cheeses were inside this sandwich, such as brie, mozzarella, and boursin. A guy dressed up as a squirrel saw me eating this and we struck up a short conversation on how he makes grilled cheese sandwiches the easy way. Though I don't eat these very often, I took his advice. Later on, our waitress approached me and told me that the bartenders were getting ready to close out all open tabs at the bar, and that it would be a great time for me to grab a drink before they stopped all sales for the night. I told her that I would be happy to have one, but I had to drive home. This was a great bar to hold an afterparty! Would love to come back again here next time. The band played well too and I recognized all the songs that they performed.

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!

The location is very convenient and they had a couple running the karaoke that sang well and made us feel welcomed to sing to our hearts content with a pretty good cycle of singers. Pool tables were decent and from what I remember cost $1. There were some people offering to play with us as couples which is always cool to mix up the competition other than our usual Husband/Wife game.

I saw her come to our table once. The place wasn't completely full.

The atmosphere immediately took my wife and me back to our early adult years in the best possible way. The dim lighting, mellow crowd, and music all worked together perfectly, and somehow the playlist felt like it matched the crafted cocktails and overall vibe of the room. One of the things we appreciated most was being able to actually sit together and have a conversation without having to yell over loud music or a packed crowd. It felt relaxed, mature, and genuinely enjoyable--a breath of fresh air compared with so many bars that seem focused more on being loud than creating a good atmosphere. The cocktails were excellent, the bartenders were top-notch, and the entire experience felt thoughtful from beginning to end.

Their seasonal menu is Conspiracy Theory based. I from that menu and my drink was called the Moon Landing Hoax, which was recommended to me but pretty strong in my opinion. I will say that the aesthetic of the drink was super cool with the astronaut. My friend ordered from their regular menu. She enjoyed her Repo Espresso Martini and she would order that again! All in all, I still like this bar a lot! I would come back again.
