Back with a review in New Vegas, I mean Las Vegas and seeing this place in person is an experience in itself. It was great to walk around and see references in any corner to Fallout and being immersed in the great atmosphere with live music and people going in and out. Ordered the Brisket fries but it was so good from the long drive I didn't even have time for a picture. Had the Not Your Mama's Mojito and Fuzzy Blue balls. My gf and myself were blow away by how tasty and strong the drinks are. Highly recommend anyone passing by to Vegas to check out the Pioneer Saloon. read more

This place was surprisingly great. A very old bar so don't expect a bar from the strip. Very down to earth wait staff and good country music. Surprisingly the food was good. I had a margarita and it was a little too much. But my next drink (canned) was what I expected. I'm not a burger person but their burgers were good. If you want to hang out and hear some good music I recommend. The con was since we were outside listening to music, people were smoking. I'd recommend and will come back. read more

It is such a unique experience and people come for a number of reasons. I first went out for a motorcycle ride and hung out with all the other bikers there. It is rustic and has a fun atmosphere although when there are live bands playing it can be difficult to talk to others. They keep it lively and the food is delicious. I have had three of the burgers with either fries or chips as well as the shakes which I would go back for anytime. I also recently went out and tried the breakfast. They also hold an annual fan festival for players / viewers of Fallout and that is an absolute blast. Last year was my first but will not be my last! read more

I really don't know WHY I have never visited Goodsprings' historic Pioneer Saloon, but it's finally off my bucket list! Surprisingly, after filling up off the interstate in Jean, we embarked on the short drive west (10 minutes?) and we were there. And whether you're a history buff, fan of the paranormal, or just a parched traveler in search of a nearby watering hole, this little place is worth a visit. Having just left Sin City on out trek back to Cali, we weren't very hungry when we pulled into town - but what the hell's the point of visiting the infamous Pioneer Saloon without, at least, having a drink? There's a great selection of beers and other libations (both high octane and unleaded). From their extensive list of beers on tap, I was pleased to find one of the last, still American-owned, classics - Pabst Blue Ribbon. Suffice to say, what's not on tap is, most likely, available in the bottle - so no worries if you're an America-hating, hipster, leave-the-foam-at-the-bottom, poser (like others in my party -LOL). The food menu is equally diverse, though we only placed orders for some french fries to munch on while we enjoyed our drinks and sucked-in the surrounding scenery. The orders were quite generous so, though we got two, one would have sufficed. The burgers delivered to a neighboring table looked pretty good - and the names of a few are priceless - so I may return to order one for novelty's sake, if nothing else! Overall, we all enjoyed our impromptu visit to the Pioneer Saloon and appreciated the hospitality of our hosts. Being a historic location, there's an obligatory gift shop on the grounds for those seeking mementos (separated from the saloon by an outside dining area). Prices are a little high but, being off the beaten path of the interstate traffic, I can't begrudge these fine Goodsprings folk the opportunity to make a living while preserving a truly historic piece of Nevada history. read more

This place was very cool. My fiance and I are big fallout fans and this was a must do on our trip to Vegas's. While the merch was little and the sizes were mostly sold out, we appreciated what they had Fallout wise. The food here was delicious! My fiance loved his burger! I split the brisket and pulled pork. Pulled pork needed some sauce but the brisket was amazing! Be warned the food is very heavy. Unfortunately service was rough. Not our waitresses fault this place was just very busy and they had practically no one else working. If we're ever back in Vegas i know we will be back! read more

Three of us had a nice lunch after taking the cottonwood trail on Friday. Live music not too loud and a good selection of classic rock and some blues. Someone can sing falsetto. Bonus! Peyton was our server and she was super helpful and took all of my questions about their home made condiments & other goodies with grace. We couldn't resist trying a bit of each sauce with the fries. Sadly the fries arrived boxed and condensation floppy. Otherwise the sauces were interesting and varying in levels of heat. One was a 3 ingredient fermented sauce, which was nicely spicy-"Yummy as F Hot Sauce" That stood out. I would have loved a description of each condiment somewhere on the menu like a key to a map. Heck give me a list and description. You could make a big funny wooden sauce description sign ;) Beers were clean and fresh too. Not too crowded between 1130-2 that day. read more

The saloon is always a welcome site after a day out on the dusty trails. The place is always busy. Good food, good music. It was a perfect day to sit outside. Inside is just as cozy with the wood-burning stove going. read more

Pioneer Saloon is a legend in and of itself with the gaming community, but my friends and I enjoy it as a motorcycle ride destination.the vibe is authentic, and the live music is phenomenal. It was colder, and fortunately their outdoor heaters work. Service and food is hit or miss, in my opinion. It can't be difficult to catch a server's attention to order, pay, or get assistance miss service. Food wait times seem to have been excessive the last two times I've been here, and the food quality and flavor is good, but nothing super memorable. Our group got a ghost burger, pizza, and brisket dip; not bad, not stellar, but nothing really to complain about. Bathrooms were clean and warm as well, I think they'd put in new restrooms vs the smaller, older one inside the building. read more

This was our second time at the Pioneer Saloon. We brought the kiddos and our furry little mutt. Overall the atmosphere is great. Good music, good vibes, good service! However the menu is a little lacking. There aren't very many vegetarian options on the menu, just a grilled cheese and cheese pizza. And I didn't see a kids menu. One of my kiddos is very picky so he was a little disappointed that the only option for him was pizza since he isn't a big pizza fan. I do wish they had a bit more on the menu for vegetarians and kiddos or if they do offer more, have it advertised because I didn't see anything saying they did. We do like coming here every once in a while despite the small menu just because the vibe is so great! And I do appreciate Dogs and Kids being welcome. read more

We were taking a trip down the interstate from Zion to Joshua Tree and were looking for a lunch spot. I found this place and thought it would just be a cool experience. Well we were pleasantly surprised by our lunch. I had the BLT, the onion jam and aioli put it over the top. My husband had the brisket French dip and said it was amazing. So it ended up being one of our top meals on the trip. Also the history of the place is quite intriguing. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Great food, little pricey but the quaint atmosphere makes it worth the drive. Rode in on motorcycles and loved seeing the other bikes. Everyone got along perfectly. Gift shop is lacking though. Needs more colors to shirts and magnets. read more

This is a nice restaurant, tucked away in the middle of know where. We both indulged in the High Blue Cactus Burger, which was a symphony of flavors. The blue cheese and the Nopalitos cactus added a unique twist, making it a standout dish. However, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that I didn't get two beef patties. The service, unfortunately, left much to be desired. Our drinks arrived a bit late, and our waitress vanished without a trace. Instead, another employee brought our burgers to our table. After finishing our meal, we were left waiting for our waitress for an extended period, over 30 minutes. She never returned to the restaurant area, and we couldn't find her even after searching for her. When we finally found her, she was helping a large party at a table in the bar area. I understand that she was busy, but it would have been appreciated if she had come back to check on us or asked another employee to assist us. As a result, we had to ask a bartender to cash us out. read more

Let me start by first stating the place itself can be fun. Live music and beer, can't go wrong. Unfortunately, my husband and I rode the motorcycle for breakfast and blech, gross. Disgusting. He got the Pioneer Platter and I got the 1/2 biscuits and gravy and added 2 eggs. I don't know why they bothered to ask how we wanted them, because over easy came out nuked to oblivion. His bacon was burnt, the sausage was burnt, the potatoes were overcooked and grossly oversalted My biscuit tasted like the cardboard container it came in. The gravy was good, I'll give it that. And I get it, save money, serve in disposable containers, but really, the potential is there for Pioneer to have a quality restaurant known for great food. We paid $37 for the worst breakfast we ever picked at and 2 coffees. At least the ride was nice and we know music and beer will always be a good time. read more

This place is very cool! It's amazing to think about the history of this saloon. They still have original 1913 wooden tables people can eat at, the wall still has the original bullet holes, and there is an old wood burning stove. There was live music playing when we went. We enjoyed the old fashioned, beer and a shot of whiskey, chili cheese hot dog, and the old man liver dog. The food is a solid 3 star. The drinks are a 4 star. They were tasty, but pricey. The atmosphere is awesome. Everyone that worked there was super friendly. Definitely stop by and have a drink and check out the place. You won't be disappointed. It is only an 8 minute drive from the freeway in Jean. read more

We had a really great time here! It's fun to look around at all of the pictures and the original walls and to visit the general store that is part of the property. We stayed for lunch and ate in the memorial room which was a quieter area and the food was very good! Sandwiches and burgers came with a bag of kettle chips which was nice as I saved mine for later so we could enjoy their made on site desserts! I had the peach cobbler with ice cream and it was amazing! They had just come out of the oven when we got them making them warm and delectable. Definitely plan to come out to the pioneer saloon for lunch or dinner and enjoy the property, we've come in years past and I think it's only gotten better over time. read more

ONLY rating two stars for the ambience and decor, since there is historic value here. Service deserved no stars. My family all got their orders...eventually... except mine, very slow service. HOWEVER, my meal (Naked Chicken Legs) never came, the incorrect order did tho. After notifying our server, they then discovered my meal was actually sold out..after like 30 minutes they make that discovery! They did try to make up for it by bringing me a burger..I did not want a burger. I declined. So yeah, bad service, my mood changed, no longer want their food, I didnt eat at all duringmy visit. Went to McDonald's instead. Check your inventory, please, next time. This was a one and done. read more

the atmosphere and vibes of this saloon are genuinely unbeatable. They have a very enticing menu, especially the milkshake menu, it was so hard to pick one.

The staff is also very friendly and welcoming!! I can't wait to visit again! read more

Haven't been here in a couple years since the new owners took over.. The outdoor dining is nice, but they only had one waitress for the bar area and the outside It took 20 to 30 minutes to even get a drink at same time they took our four door 15 minutes later food came out One birthday sandwich was really good the other one was 100% fat unable to even eat it but the bun was good ... If you're in the middle of the desert I need a place to water down it's a nice destination trip just don't be in a hurry to get anything when you're there read more

Pioneer Saloon is located in the inhabited ghost town of Goodsprings, Nevada. Established in 1913, it is the oldest bar in Clark County/Southern Nevada and one of the oldest bars in the entire state. The bar's long and storied history includes a fatal poker game, features in video games/TV shows/music videos/movies, connections to the Carole Lombard plane crash, appearances on the Food Network, and with its staying power, the bar also preserves architectural and design relics from a bygone era, such as its cherry wood bar that was built in the late 1800s and the walls and ceiling: original stamped tin from Sears & Roebuck Co. I've visited Pioneer Saloon twice. Here's a quick summary of highlights: - LIVE MUSIC: My first visit to Pioneer Saloon was during the summer a couple years ago. There was a banner out front celebrating their win as "Best Rural Bar," and the saloon had the energy of a bustling biker bar. As a music lover, I distinctly remember the live band that was playing out back during that visit. - SOLID FOOD & SERVICE: I am not necessarily a bar food lover, but I do patronize bars with solid, restaurant quality food (i.e., gastropubs?). The Pioneer Saloon fits the bill. Note: I was a bit disappointed that the food was served in plastic carry out containers for my most recent dine in experience. These containers are not environmentally sustainable, and they diminish the sensory aspect of mindful eating. - INTERESTING PEOPLE: During my visit a couple years ago, I met a couple from Pennsylvania and connected with them as a former Philly resident. On my most recent visit in December 2024, my server was a law school student, and the table behind me had unexpectedly gotten stranded in Goodsprings after taking ridesharing transportation to the area. They were in the middle of calling their hotel to arrange transportation back to the Las Vegas Strip. - HISTORY: As previously mentioned in this review, the Pioneer Saloon is rich in history, so visiting the restaurant and bar is somewhat akin to entering a museum and being transported to the past through the exhibits. read more

Can't think of a better way to start off a Holiday Weekend, or any weekend really! Show up here and you get cold beers, stiff drinks, good service delicious food and a bit of "Fork Yesh " attitude!

We were going to go to the lake and I got a heat advisory. I asked my friend if she wanted to do something else. She invited me for lunch at Pioneer Saloon. I followed her over from Vegas and it was about a half an hour drive. We made it to pretty much the middle of nowhere where this cool bar was. The people here are pretty friendly and the food and drinks are good. I got a mimosa and they were generous with the alcohol. I ordered a melt and it was delicious. I wasn't too thrilled with the coleslaw, but the kettle chips were very good. The chips were not as hard as other kettle chips. My friend gave me a little tour and showed me the article about the plane crash and also showed me the bullet holes in the wall. The bar made me feel like I was back home in Emmett Idaho. We sat and enjoyed the live band as we sat next to the mister to stay cool. I had a really nice time and I highly recommend coming here to go somewhere cooler. read more

We were out this way so we decided to finally stop and check out Pioneer saloon. They had a large outdoor sitting area and two small rooms inside the main room was pretty loud so we decided to sit in the side room that was a little bit quieter the service was excellent. We got the barbecue, which was very good but nothing could possibly beat the shakes. They were so delicious. I'm glad I finally made it out and I will definitely be back if I'm in that area again. read more

Established was severely understaffed.. and that staff that they did have were rude.. 3 tables that sat after us were all receiving service until finally we asked why and the server said oh i thought someone was helping you ... ordered our food and comes back after all our food was out to say that the 3 people that ordered chicken sandwiches "sorry we are out of chicken". Never came back to ask if we wanted refills or more drinks . read more

The staff here treats you like they don't want you to ever come back. They only take care of the locals/regulars.

On our way back from Las Vegas, we made a stop at Pioneer Saloon, located about 15 minutes off the freeway near the exit with the Terrible's gas station. It's tucked away in a small, charming town and definitely worth the detour. The saloon has a vintage, old-school vibe filled with tons of memorabilia including props and photos from movies filmed there. There's also a dedicated section for Fallout fans, featuring collectibles from the video game and new TV show, which was a fun surprise. The food portions are generous. We ordered the big ass flapjacks, pioneer platter and biscuits and gravy all hearty and satisfying. They also offer themed drinks, including the Wastelander Shake, which came with a Fallout mask and was a hit at our table. The place is expanding with a back area for games and live music, plus a side shop where you can buy shirts, pants, and other memorabilia. I'll definitely be stopping by again, hopefully for one of their special Fallout-themed events. It may be a bit out of the way, but it's a unique, fun stop that I highly recommend. read more

Food ok. Last few times been der they foegot someones order so we had to wait another hour to get their food and more time trying to pay. Every seems nice and working hard. Seems not enuf staff or poor planning. Ambiance is why they got 3 stars not 2. Cool little spot. Would go more if better managed. Its always seems busy so why not have the help to go with it. read more

Ok. The service was terribly slow but there were plenty of things to look at. Our server was friendly and witty, but was alone on a busy day. Had the pulled pork Sandwich with potato salad and baked beans. The beans made the meal. It worked with everything else. In fact if it wasn't for the beans, it would have been boring. There are great history lessons on the walls and tons of articles and pieces of history. It's worth a stop for the Sasparilla and a quick read. read more
