    Mozzarella sticks
    Kayla R.

    Came in here for a friend's birthday party this past weekend. I had never been to this bar before or even heard of it so was excited to check it out (even though I'm pregnant and can't drink right now haha). [[HIGHLIGHT]]This bar is really nice and much bigger than it looks from the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have pool tables and a stage where there was a live band playing later that night that was really good. I loved that when they band was on that they also had them on the TV screens.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The girl that was our server was really nice but seemed a bit scattered and overwhelmed by the crowd that was there. My husband got to try their tiramisu pudding shot and he said it was damn good. I was so jealous, it looked so good. I ended up just having water. The first time my husband got me the water at the bar and it was a bottled one. Later I did try to order another water from our server and she asked if we had a tab open. I was confused by it because I just wanted the tap water and she said that she was told she needs to sell bottled water instead... I found that really offputting. Not her fault at all, but whatever management told her that, I found it really weird. I'm pregnant and in a bar, but beside that, for people drinking, you can't just provide them water? I've never seen that happen at a bar and seems kinda unsafe if you ask me. Well $4 bottled water later.... hahaha. So odd. I also tried to order the smores but they were out. Bummer. But my family ordered wings, cheesburgers and mozarella sticks. I had some of the mozzarella sticks. They were okay. I did like the panko crust though. I don't know if I'd come back here again after I have the baby. The water thing was really offputting to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the vibe here is really fun! I loved the live band and thought they were great and again, our server was really nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

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

    Triple dipper

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself? Spotless. You can tell they care about cleanliness, the menus were actually clean (I love when a restaurant gets it).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is hole in the wall, relaxed, and the staff was genuinely friendly and on top of everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

Again, when the food was ready, we needed to go back to the counter and get it. The lady's working refused to bring anything out to our table. We were never even offered water. Let's keep in mind our party of four were the only ones there for 90% of our time there between 5-6:45 pm, And one of our biggest reasons for coming in this evening was for two for Tuesday buy one get one free drinks. Yet when the girl was checking us out she said she knew nothing about that and that it was only for mimosas. Then refused to give us any discount. We've been here multiple times on a Tuesday and were given the bogo option for our beers and margaritas. Very disappointed tonight!

There's a small kitchen area where the menu is and where you place your order. Cooks are viciously making the orders that others are placing, and you can hear the constant sizzling of hot dogs on their grills. They have bar seating on the other side along with a bunch of tables close by but they were all taken since it was prime dinner time at 7:30pm on The Strip and people were walking all around the area. We decided to eat over at a nearby taco joint in the end. Both of us got their D.U.I. Dog, which has pastrami, carne asada, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, a ton of cilantro and chipotle aioli (a mayonnaise kind of sauce). Very packed with flavor with all the meats inside, and the cheese melts so well inside the hot dog. They even put this inside a relatively big carton container, the same kind I've seen the staff put their D.U.I. Fries in... holy crap those are some huge portions! For $18 before tax though, this hot dog was already slightly massive for its size, at just about a foot long. Very nice start to a great time in Vegas! Also a great hot dog stand with immensely tasty dogs.

It's hard to find something that fits all those requirements on the Strip. They sell loaded hot dogs, fries, and cocktails. My favorites are the elote dog and DUI fries, and their cocktails are some of the best value for price. The Strip location is specifically outdoors and there's a decent amount of seating, but they can fill up quickly when it's busy. There's also a location inside the Showcase Mall if you'd prefer to sit indoors. I may be biased because I also love hot dogs, but I will definitely be back for more.

We decided to get the chips and salsa for a nominal charge and we both ordered two carne asada street tacos each. This was plenty of food for us. The salsas were both extremely mild, so we asked for some hotter options. Our sweet waitress brought us three separate bottles of the good stuff...orange one being the hottest...I assume it was habanero....that stuff was crazy hot and good. We mixed those into the other bland salsas and got a perfect match!!! Tacos were full of meat and tasted good...but certainly not near the best you can buy in this town...so I dock a star for that since the restaurant's name includes "Taco" in it. I will be back to try other things...love the location near Virgin when I stay there for staycations.

We waited about 15 minutes in line to place our order Hubby ordered lengua, buche, tripa, and cabeza tacos and the pork huaraches. I ordered a chorizo mulitas. and then we sat in the building and waited for our food to be delivered to us. It was a warm Fri evening and outside they had music playing with a virtual DJ. Once they delivered our food we asked for 2 cups of ice water and they said they could bring it to us. They were $1 for each cup. Three first thing my hubby said was the tacos looked plain as we are used to sauce being on them at the other place. However, we did get green sauce and he had a side of onions and cilantro to put on them. We also had lime slices and radishes. The radishes were sliced thin and we dried out. No juice in them and they tasted bland. My hubby said the meat flavors of his tacos were good. Meat was tender and they have you a good amount. However, he was upset as the edges of the tortillas were very tough and hard. The tortillas were dry tasting as well. One of his tacos the tortilla was rock hard. He had to remove the edges when eating the taco as it ruined the tacos. The huaraches was very flavorful and he really liked it. The tortilla was cooked much better and not hard and dry like the tacos were. My chorizo was very flavorful and not overly greasy. The tortillas were cooked properly and the cheese was melted well. I did enjoy it but it was different than the other guys, but I would get another one if we were eating there again. The place was very busy and the staff were friendly. The place was super clean, but they really need more restrooms. They have one of each gender inside and it's a one person only restroom. There was a consistent line and the female worker used the male restroom. Later the men were using the women's due to the line. The place has plenty of seating and the cars wrap around the building and into the street for the drive-thru. My hubby will probably not return as he said those tacos were disappointing and not worth the price. I would maybe return but for the mulita only and if I'm there and too lazy to drive elsewhere or if it's too late in the night to go elsewhere. For us personally, they were not the best tacos in Vegas and not worth the wait.
