My recent visit to Nash Vegas Bar was, unfortunately, far from the enjoyable night out I had anticipated. The most glaring issue was being charged twice the standard cover fee, a discrepancy that was both confusing and frustrating. Upon arrival, my group and I were informed of a cover charge, which we were prepared for; however, we later discovered that we paid significantly more than other patrons who entered both before and after us. Attempts to clarify and resolve this discrepancy with the staff were met with dismissive and unhelpful responses, leaving us feeling unfairly treated. Aside from the issue with the cover charge, the overall atmosphere of Nash Vegas Bar did not live up to expectations. The service was lackluster, with long waits for drinks and less-than-enthusiastic staff, which only compounded our disappointment. The venue itself, while boasting a promising name and location, failed to deliver a memorable or unique experience. It lacked the vibrancy and warmth that one would hope for in a bar with such a lively name, and the music and ambiance did not do much to uplift our spirits after the initial setback. Moreover, the drinks, when they finally arrived, were mediocre at best and not worth the premium prices charged. Combined with the unwarranted high cover fee, the value for money was simply not there. It's disheartening when a night out, which should be filled with fun and relaxation, is overshadowed by such negative experiences. In summary, my visit to Nash Vegas Bar was marked by frustration and disappointment. The unjustifiable double charge for the cover, paired with indifferent service and an underwhelming atmosphere, made for an evening that I'd rather forget. It's safe to say that my first visit to Nash Vegas Bar will be my last, and I cannot recommend it to others looking for a genuine and enjoyable nightlife experience. read more

Went with three high school buddies we are all in our 50s now and make more than the whole clientele in the bar the night we were in there. The tall bartender with the tattoos on the left forearm waited on is. We ordered two bourbon and waters and payed a hefty price for them. Number one the two bourbon and waters were weak as hell and one looked like water with water. When we pointed this out to the ASSHOLE bartender he proceeded to tell us that we needed to hydrate. Please save yourself time, money and aggravation and avoid this dive like the plague. Especially the ASSHOLE tall bartender with the tattoos on his left forearm and the small penis. read more

Tall "bartender" with tattooed arm is totally disrespectful. I'm not a college kid, but 50 year old professional. In town with 3 old friends. this kid, born after I was legal age, totally disrespected to me and my friends. Walked in to check out, paid $5 cover, walked to the bar and ordered two of the same drinks. We asked for top shelf bourbon and got one drink that was clearly light. We held them up to the "bartender" and his response was "someone has to hydrate". I don't need some snot nosed kid telling me "when to hydrate". If you are a college kid wanting some beer after paying cover good for you. Adults stay away from this place! read more

This is the best bar in town! Definitely worth the wait during the one in and one out when it gets to that point. This bar has never claimed to be a restaurant so they don't need to "pick one" they are a honky tonk much like the ones in Nashville. The wait staff is awesome and for live music EVERY Saturday night this is where you want to be! True there isn't a lot of room to dance but it's a great party with all the people inside. The owners are wonderful people who have thought of every little detail to ad into their bar. My friends and I love hanging out in the lodge area,very unique everyone should check it out! read more

the nash Vegas worker asked us to wear a mask and then didn't wear one according to CDC guidelines (mask around nose and mouth) himself. He continuous yelled at males, but not females. He would dance with females without their masks on and not yell at them, I'm not pleased with the sexism that the worker had. I loved the bar prior to COVID. But since COVID I started I noticed the difference between male and female. read more

In…read morethe description and recommendation, it said that the burgers here were a favorite of both groom and bride. Even the grooms father insisted on eating at Billiards whenever he was in town. With all those recommendations, I knew where I was dining my first night in town. I was just a short stroll down from my hotel, so it was easy to get there. Lucky for me, I arrived at the perfect time. Shortly after my arrival, the place filled up. I took a seat at the bar and after reading the menu, I made my choices. For my adult beverage, I chose, Hide Tide a craft beer from the local brewery, Logboat. I also went with the, Logboat Burger. It's a burger served on a pretzel bun, with bacon, jalapeno and a house made Snapper IPA beer cheese. I had them hold the tomato. Their fries are fresh cut from Idaho potatoes and they are hand cut according to the menu. Fresh fries are the best. My bartender/server was attentive and it was fun watching the cooks prepare all the burgers on a grill directly behind the bar. The bar is very casual, and it's exactly what Professor Hill was singing about in, Music Man.
