    Stage is a decent size and risen up. Bands enjoy playing there I hear. I also see the great shows often Had the nachos. Decent! I enjoy pirate karaoke there as well as bike nights. The waitresses are very nice. It looks like a good date spot or if ya wanna pop in solo that's all good. 100 percent will visit again often

    The Bonfire has some of the best staff. Attentive and fun! They have great food and great times. Come check them out when they have an open mic or one of there numerous events, like live bands. DESTINY was lovely and was very professional during our time at the establishment. Big butt too haha!!

    We live close in Salt Lake City, so we are in Vegas a number of times a year. We frequent the bar across the street but on this particular day that bar was closed for a private event, so for shits we decided to check out The Bonfire and we are so glad we did!! We love dive bars, sports bars and video poker so this place was right up our alley! We love the online player's club so you don't need to bring a card every time and can just log in for points! And our bartender - Danielle - what an awesome, fun person and made our visits so much fun! We are now "besties" and can't wait to come back for the VP, and fun vibes and food! OMG, the food! We ordered their triple dipper with fresh made chips and the birria tacos... Absolutely amazing. So good that we came back the next day and got the same thing! If you are in the area and are looking for a fun, friendly sports bar with cool vibes, great bartenders and tasty food, this is your spot! The regulars were nice and the beer and shots are ice cold. What are you waiting for??

    Carne Asada tacos.

    Bonfire is a hidden gem worth every bite From the outside, you'd never guess what's waiting inside Bonfire, but once you step in...wow! We started with the Chips & Dip Trio, and let me just say: best chips and dips I've ever had, and I've eaten at some pretty high-end places, too. The chips were hot, crispy, and clearly just fried, none of that stale, bagged nonsense. The cheddar cheese dip was ooey, gooey perfection, the guacamole was bright, chunky, and fresh with big pieces of avocado, and the salsa hit that perfect balance of spice and tang without being overpowering. Then came the tacos, Birria and Carne Asada. The birria meat was tender and rich, the shell lightly crisped and not greasy at all. The carne asada tacos were loaded and seasoned just right. Jeff ordered the Smoke Show cocktail, and it lived up to the name, the cloud of smoke when he lifted the lid was impressive. You could smell the smoke but didn't taste it, just a smooth, well-balanced drink. The place itself? Spotless. You can tell they care about cleanliness, the menus were actually clean (I love when a restaurant gets it). The vibe is hole in the wall, relaxed, and the staff was genuinely friendly and on top of everything. Don't let the humble exterior fool you...Bonfire is the real deal. Exceptional food, great service, and attention to every detail. Absolute must-try.

    Came for battle of the bands on Wednesday night and we enjoyed the vibe of the place. We started the night off with a midori sour and Modelo, took a seat, then waited for the bands to come on. The midori and Modelo were great. The waitress came by and asked if we wanted to order anything more and my husband ordered a budweiser and I asked for water. I saw other customers with cups of tap water and assumed this was what I was ordering. The waitress took our card, charged it, then brought back two water bottles. I let her know that I wanted cups of water like the customers at the table in front of us had and she stated that "after the bands come on we don't give out water in cups." What does that even mean and what would the reason for this be?? I found this very odd and wished she would have either brought the bottles of water before taking our card or let us know it would be water bottles. We ended up paying $3 per bottle of water that we will probably just end up taking home. It's not a huge deal obviously, but it's pretty annoying since I would have just went and got my water in the car if I knew we would be charged for water bottles instead of just being given tap like most bars do. We were going to order food as well but decided against it after this occurrence.

    Dee is a baddie and a sweetheart! She makes a bomb drink and keeps the vibes right. Great service, great energy, and she really knows how to take care of her guests. If you come through, make sure Dee is your bartender!

    The Bonfire Menu

    Early dinner - we beat the Sat night crowd lol! Two biker dudes opened this bar in May, just a few months ago and the reviews are SPOT ON! Rosie the bar manager was very cool - let us know this 24 hour restaurant has events 7 days a week and usually starts to get busy after 8:00 pm. Reservations accepted but not necessary. Plenty of free parking! Rosie mentions Thursday & Sunday nights sound like the best times to visit. Thursday nights with their house band Velvet Moon. Sunday's are great for Brown's games and Line Dancing. See the website for other events throughout the week. We ordered the Steak Sandwich and The Bonfire Burger. Both were delicious but let me tell you about that Steak Sandwich. Came toasted on sourdough bread but what they don't mention on the menu is there is some sort of MAGICAL BONFIRE SECRET SAUCE on it that will have you thinking whaaaaat is THIS?! 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a place to have dinner before attending the Brad Garret Comedy Club, Brown's fans, bikers, first dates, and musical professionals looking for a place to chill after hours. Looking forward to coming back again someday!

    Drinks, discounted on happy hour!

    Love this happy hour + live music! What a fun local hangout. Great happy hour specials, awesome service, cool vibe with live music (starting around 8pm) and no cover! Even regular (non-happy hour) pricing is very reasonable for great quality food & drinks. Newly renovated, spacious, great pool tables, nice clean bathrooms. Appears to have plenty of free parking in their lot, at least if you arrive early (like before 7pm on a Saturday). Perfect spot for a casual after-work hangout, catch a game, meet up with friends... Will be back for sure!

    This was our second visit to a ND location. Last time we went to the one in Summerlin that has…read morepermanently closed. This location is on the Strip near Paris and on the outside of the mall that has Planet Hollywood. We recommend that you try to get parking in the mall. They say the first hour is free, but ND does not validate However, the slightly cheaper lot across the street currently uses the Metropolis parking app/web service, both of which were unuseable and super frustrating. We saw many other people give up trying to pay and leave and several reviews online for disputed fees for their services when we tried to get help to pay. We happened to go on a Tuesday, which was Cinco de Mayo. We arrived about 2:30 for linner (the meal between lunch and dinner) Consequently, they had a $10 for 3 street tacos and a BOGO for Margaritas. In addition to these specials, we also got their chicken taquitos and friend ice cream. Everything was good, none of it was bad, but none of it was truly excellent. We would order everything we got again. The taquitos were the kind that are larger in diameter and lightly fried. The amount of meat was average, not light or a lot. The guac and cream were runny pre-topped rather than sides. The street tacos were much better quality than the taquitos. We got the filet, chicken, and pork. The chicken was prepared the best as it was moist, well seasoned, and had a good quantity of meat. The quantity of meat on the other tacos was also good, not skimpy at all, but the seasoning and cooking, while good, were not as good as the chicken. We had just had pork steer taco the previous night at the AYCE buffet, which was so much better, but ND's tacos were still very good. The hostess recommended the Hibiscus Margarita when she seated us and alerted us to their specials. It was rimmed with sugar and was a little sweet. The flowery flavor got stronger the further down you drank despite stirring to try to even out the flavor before drinking it. It was just ok, but definitely good enough to get again and to try for the first time if you never had it. Their standard Margarita was very good and definitely wroth getting again. The fried ice cream is not to be mistaken for their fire Carmel ice cream. It is not the actual or standard fried ice cream that places like the Acapulco restaurant make, which are super cold ice cream that is actually fried inside a sugar donut shell and covered with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Rather, ND's fried ice cream does NOT appear to be fried at all, but covered in corn flakes and served with dessert style sweet fluffy tortilla chips covered in chocolate and strawberry sauce--apparently the chips are the fried part. Nevertheless, ND's version is a nice desert, but just not the historic fried ice cream--we would get it again, but might try to flaming Carmel one next time. The highlight of our visit was actually the service. We were seated in the bar area and a blonde woman who seemed to be sharing the bar tending responsibilities with two other women served us. Unfortunately, we do not remember her name, but she was obviously working really hard and did an EXCELLENT job waiting on us. Overall, and except for the parking, which is not ND's responsibility, we had a great visit here, would come back, and would recommend you give them a try. We have had their nachos on our previous visit and they are just ok, but they have a wide variety and the serving sizes are super big--they also pair well with their cocktails.

When they called my name, I went to the counter and notice that they got my order wrong...they gave me a pollo asado taco, instead of a pollo asado burrito with cheese. I swear I had told the lady that took my order that I wanted a pollo asado burrito, but perhaps I was wrong, or perhaps she was mistaken with what I ordered. Either way, I am not one to make a fuss, as restaurant workers already work hard (especially the workers at this place), so their ears didn't need a brat like me to give them an earful about getting my order wrong during peak lunch hours. Anyways, I pointed out the mistake, and mentioned if I can order a pollo asado burrito. An older gentleman (who appeared to be the owner/manager/someone important) working behind the counter said don't worry about it...he'll make the burrito and call my name when it's ready. I thanked them profusely, went back to my seat and didn't even finish my al pastor taco, because they had called my name in less than a minute. WOW! That's customer service right there! I wouldn't even put The Taco Stand on the top of my list of best mexican food in Vegas, even though their food is pretty damn good, but with customer service like this, they've made the jump on my list, and I'll be returning to eat there more often!
