    Smash burger
    Dan W.

    Delicious simple smash burger paired with a PBR beer in a historic dive bar, wonderful evening.

    My husband follows a couple of Vegas accounts on Instagram. He saw this place on one of the videos posted and sent it to me. I've had it tucked away in my arsenal.... We made it there during our visit a couple weeks ago. It was 'aight. Nothing special. Your average dive bar (which I have nothing against and love me a good dive bar). We each got a burger and shared tots for lunch. The burger was also just alright. The guy in the video raved about it. It certainly wasn't anything to write home about. I'm glad we went there to check it out but I'm not sure I will go back.

    I've been seeing posts about Hard Hat and glad we stopped by for drinks and a burger. We drove up and there was a lot of parking. Outdoor seating available and a few communal tables for larger groups. We sat at the bar and gambled a bit. Order at the counter on the left side of the bar. I had the single burger with no sauces and tater tots. I love smashburgers and for me, this Burger is ok. I wish the onions were grilled but the bread was very soft. The highlight was the tater tots. Crispy on the outside and the dipping sauce complimented the tots. Service was good and I washed it down with my crown on the rocks.

    Beers were cold, shot pours we're generous, and the burgers & tots really hit the spot. Food came out surprisingly fast for how busy it was!This is a small dive bar with limited seating inside but they do have some outdoor seating which was nice.

    This place was dope! Such a random location for one of the best burgers I've had. Very reasonably priced and tasted like quality ingredients. Tots were generous and the burger was tasty through and through. Service here was perfect, very friendly, not at all pushy or intimidating even though I felt the location was a bit intimidating for my taste.

    This spot was so much fun! We watched football, with a bunch of fans, we got good eats, and the bartender was so friendly!!! Sports + food + drinks + excellent service = must try! We can't wait to come back to check out Monday Night Football!!!

    One of my friends is a dive bar aficionado and would bring me to all the old haunts in Vegas. My first time here was not the best experience. I ordered a gin and tonic at the bar and within half an hour I was in their tiny bathroom throwing it all up. Yes, I only had one drink and no, it wasn't from lunch. I don't know what happened but I vowed to never come back. Well, there was a Yelp Elite Event at Stay Tuned burgers, which is inside Hard Hat lounge, that I attended. I wasn't expecting to sit at the bar in any way, other than to eat my burger but I got out of work much earlier than anticipated and did not want to go home and come back to this side of town. My husband was with me so we decided to have one drink before ordering food for an early dinner. The bartender was filled with attitude about my Jack and diet but I don't expect more from a dive bar. I noticed she was really rude to another set of customers a bit later when I was waiting in line to order food. However, the next set of bartenders seemed to be much nicer and friendlier. Pricing, especially during HH, are pretty good and the place does have a lot of old school dive vibes if you're into that sort of thing. Even though there was attitude, my drink was strong, which was a plus. Also, the burgers were excellent. Highly recommend.

    Stopped by the Hard Hat Lounge on my quest to try a smash burger from Stay Tuned Burger which is located inside the lounge It's a dive bar with some older furniture, but that's part of the charm. It has a cool, laid-back vibe, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. My drink was amazing full bar, and most importantly, they actually had blackberry Crown Royal, which is my go-to. A lot of places don't even carry flavored Crown, so that was a big win for me. Prices were reasonable While I was there, the staff had to cut someone off and walk them out but they handled it so respectfully and discreetly that if I hadn't been sitting right next to the person, I wouldn't have even noticed. That kind of professionalism is rare and really stood out to me. If you're looking for a solid dive bar near downtown or the industrial area, with great drinks, a killer burger, and top-tier service definitely check this place out!

    Had a drink after an event down the street. The bartender was quick to offer.me a drink while waiting for our burger. We ordered cokes and he asked if we wanted regular the soda or a bottle of Mexican coke, we got the regular coke. Good to know they have ample options and we look forward to going back to watch a game. Its small but cozy and also have an outdoor space thay if you are under 21 you can order burgers and tots to enjoy outside.

    Great food. Bartender was a nice lady. Cooks also very nice. Lively dive bar on a Sunday with no sports. Only complaint is the parking. Not much and kinda tight around bar, but you can use overfill lot next door. Worth a try!

    Family friendly

    I've lived in Vegas for over 35 years. I've seen this place many times, but never went in. It's located just behind the Vegas strip, on Industrial Road. I was in the area yesterday, hungry, so I decided to stop in for lunch. I'm so happy that I did. This place is definitely a hidden treasure! The bar itself is a tiny Dive Bar Vibe. It's a half bar with probably 4 long tables, and also some tables on the patio. While nobody under 21 years old is allowed inside the bar, they are welcome on the patio. The service was top notch. The bar tender who works Day Shift on Sundays is amazing! She was very friendly, and on top of everything. You order near the TV by the kitchen. The kitchen staff were very friendly and quick to deliver my food. I ordered the Single Smash Burger and tots. With a tip it was $20.00. I will say it was one of the beast burgers I've ever eaten. I'm definitely going back!

    Super cool dive bar with nice staff and patrons. The menu is just smash style burgers and tots. They have grilled cheese and vegan patty options for those that prefer no meat. We had a single and double and an order of tots. PBR for hubs and I had the Prairie Blueberry Boyfriend (a sour). We really enjoyed our pre-NYE dinner! We will definitely return!!

    Love it

    This great local Vegas spot claims to be just another "Shithole" bar but it's not. From the outside it looks a little rough, this was once a working grunts bar. It has gained quite the "Rep" lately and is one of the local faves in the Arts District. Well known for Stiff Pours and a no apologies atmosphere. When you walk in to this bar you know exactly what you are gonna get! Staff is great and have a blast at work! The drinks are defiantly stiff and their sound system is boss! They even push table back to make room for Karaoke! Stop in for a couple pints, leave your mark on the bathroom stall and settle in for a one of a kind good time!

We stumbled in, from the bright afternoon sun and were immediately greeted by the bartender and other anonymous drunks already lining the bar. It reeked in true dive bar fashion as we bellied up to the bar and threw a $20 into the ancient video poker machine. The friendly bartender slapped a Bud Light bottle in front of each of us with a smile and and let us be. The beer was ice cold in direct inverse proportion to the warmth of the bartenders kind heart. The VP machines were tighter than usual, but it was probably just an off afternoon. They can't always be winners and it won't stop me from coming back! If you love dive bars, cold beer, friendly bartenders, video poker and karaoke, this is most certainly the place for you. Get in here and don't let this one pass you by!

    Welcome to Frankie's Tiki Room…read more This Iconic Tiki bar on Charleston Blvd/Shadow Ln on the east side of Downtown Las Vegas. It's the world's only 24 hour Tiki Bar, opening its doors in December of 2008, nearly 18 full years ago. It has a spacious but limited parking lot, bright neon sign, cool outside entrance and even more wonder inside. True to tiki decor with island themed fixtures, tables, patterns, seating and ambiance. Hints of surfing culture, rockabilly and retro. Perfect signature original or classic tiki drinks via their menu as well as full bar, soft drinks and beer. The Makalele Knockout is probably one of my personal favs with rum(s), lime, hibiscus and a incredible blend of flavors. However the Tiki Bandit, Frankiestein, Dr No, ScruV and numerous others might speak to you. I've been to Frankie's a few times about 10 years ago, so it was nice to stop in with a group of buds and share some convo as well as meet up with my oldest best friend and her wife, who ironically is who I came to Frankie's with those first times a decade ago. All tiki drinks are currently $15 and well worth it. You're able to drink, gamble (at the bar), smoke, converse, sway (good music) but limited space and enjoy the night or day away. Seating goes quick at night, especially on weekends, but arriving earlier (before 8pm) can help. Sometimes tables, seats and areas open up faster if you're patient. All the staff, including the bartenders and door guy are thoughtful and personable. We eventually got part of the area that's slightly enclosed with a great view of the entire bar especially being a group of 6 to 8 at once point. High recommend.

The service is top notch, the ladies are wonderful even when they are intentionally projecting insults at you with the megaphone. You will get a good laugh. The bartenders dance on the bar top every hour so make sure you get your crap off the bar when they do! Ask for a water or get cocky and you might be wearing the water instead of drinking it. I've been sprayed with the water gun a time or two. Haha! If it's your first time I recommend asking for a "hog piss" shot. They are only $3 at the time of writing this and actually pretty tasty. Don't forget to buy your bartender one as well! The security staff was very professional and they do check IDs. They were on top of everything very discretely without disruption. Shout out to Nathan! Great guy! I had some guy starting an altercation with me thinking my beer was his. The security team noticed the interaction and immediately redirected him without further escalation. This was my first time to the new location and I stayed at the Plaza Hotel just so I was close to my favorite bar. This bar is also very lady friendly, not just for the guys. I see wedding parties come in all the time. Everyone has a blast! Only complaints I had about this location was you had to walk through the casino to use the restroom and then come back. Also the bartenders have to tame it down a bit from their previous location since it's located in a casino. Also if you are easily offended from profanity or crude comments then this isn't the place for you. I personally love it. This is a temporary location and I can't wait for the opening of their new permanent location. I had a great time as always and will be back as always! I highly recommend going to Hogs if you have not been. You will not be disappointed. Don't forget to tip your bartenders!

The bartenders are fantastic, fun, full of energy and wild! They jump up on the bar and dance to certain songs ( I'll let you go see what ones) The one thing to note is they ONLY TAKE CASH!! If your drink is almost gone they automatically refill you as well so it can add up quickly! Definitely spent more than planned but not mad about it! Would definitely go back!
