    We attended a very poor attempt at a kink/goth/industrial night here last night. The bartender had absolutely no idea what she was doing and was very rude about it, made my girl feel like she was bothering her because she asked to use contactless payment. There was an advertised "playspace" that was non-existent. There was a really sloppy lingerie / burlesque show, then when we actually did start playing, we were asked by the management to stop (after a crowd gathered around us in awe) after we stop, then we are approached by management again and told we could play again. Instead we packed up our bags and left as quickly as possible down the street to karaoke and had a great time. We will never be back. Calling this place a Dive Bar is an overstatement. A complete waste of a $15 cover per head, and the early start of our evening.

    The Dive Bar is just that. It for sure is one of the cheapest bars in the city. Much better than anything on the Strip. It often has live acts. There's a cover at nights usually. It has a good happy hour. Wells are about $2 each. You can't find better deals anywhere in Vegas. It may be cheap because they don't spend much on electricity. The place is hard to see inside because there's almost no lights on. As someone mentioned, there's an Elvis lamp behind the bar. The bartenders and employees are low key and not trying to impress you. This is a favorite place for locals. It's far away from the Strip so there's hardly any tourists here. This is a good way to get to know about the local music scene.

    The glorious Double Down Saloon. In the modern era of glitzy, flashy, and ultra processed Vegas,…read morethe DD will provide you with an absolute respite from all of that the moment you walk in the door. This is a glorious punk-oriented dive bar. That should be real clear from the distance you have to travel into a very undescript section of Vegas to get to it. On the outside, everything should already be screaming YES to you if you have a taste for great bars like these. For example, the first time I ever visited, on top of the marquee bill was Jello Biafra. Yeah it's like that. The music, the vibe, the crud - it's all on point. The cocktails are colorfully named and presented (I'm sure plenty of reviews will highlight the toilet shot) but I'd say they're kind of the weakest part of this joint. Just stick to straight booze, rejoice that you're not surrounded by as loud AF bachelorette party on a casino floor, and get hammered in the "Happiest Place on Earth'.

    Fantastic grungy dive bar in Las Vegas!…read more I honestly can't believe it's taken us so long to check this venue out, especially since concerts are always free here. Our favorite punk band, The Mormons, happened to be playing here which is what drew us in. Loved the atmosphere with dollar bills and some R rated photo strips hanging around the bar area along with various stickers & graffiti filling the rest of the space. Truly feels like a quintessential Vegas dive bar. Bartenders weren't overly friendly, just there to do their job, but they served beers / cocktails quickly. We had a few PBR's which were $5 each. Fellow patrons were really friendly. I even made a friend during the show! For anyone with sensitive ears, the speakers are LOUD, so be sure to bring your ear protection. I loved the loud music, but my husband was suffering a bit. As per a usual dive bar, it is also smoky inside. If cigarette smoke bothers you, snag a spot near the entrance since they leave the door open for fresh air. This was everything I expected from a dive bar with a small stage for cool bands. We'll be back!

I think I didn't take more than $200 for the entire trip. I typically only bet on sports back then. I was beckoned by the 50¢ beers and the tasty 1/4 pound all beef hot dog here. I still get these to this day. So I remember having only about $15 in my wallet and about $60 in the bank. And I needed to ensure I had money for gas to make it back home. After 2- 50¢ beers and playing video poker down to my last 75¢, I hit a Royal Flush which does not trigger the bonus without max bet....which would have been $1000 if I had played $1.25.. But I didn't have $1.25. I was down to my last 75¢. Nonetheless it was still a jackpot to me even though it was $187.50! Almost enough for my truck payment at the time. This made the trip totally worth it after getting beat down on sports betting. The beers are still $2-3 and shots of Patron are $7. By far the cheapest place to get your buzz started, and right on the center of the strip behind Flamingo hotel and casino. The store on the backside is among the cheapest as well to buy jugs of water, single beers and snacks. It is a dive bar/casino and I feel absolutely comfortable here. Heavy security at the entrance and they ask you if you're going to the store or the casino. Though anything you buy you must leave at the door. It's a tiny casino with maybe a total of 25 slot and video poker machines. I will say, if you are looking for ambience or nice decor don't bother coming here.

This bar is really nice and much bigger than it looks from the outside. 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. 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. But the vibe here is really fun! I loved the live band and thought they were great and again, our server was really nice.

We have been wanting to try this place for sometime as we had heard how tasty the pizza is. Little did I know I would be taking a trip down memory lane due to the location of this place.

Nice stage in the corner as this is a punk rock bar that offers nightly/weekend entertainment. We walked in late afternoon and grabbed a couple of seats at the bar. Vanessa was our bartender and her service was spot on. We looked at the delicious cocktail list but we both felt like a beer. For the pizza we built our own. One pizza was pure pepperoni/cheese/sauce and the other one we ordered came with the brown sugar glazed ham, mushrooms and red sauce. This pizza was really quite delicious and so hot. I even tasted a little spice in the sauce which made the pizza even better. They are not stingy with the toppings. I had so many pepperoni's on my pizza, I lost count. The crust is caramelized and crunchy. They also offer vegan modifications for their pizzas so everyone can eat here. On Sundays, they offer the Surf Sunday Brunch with live bands each week from 11am - 4pm. I truly am looking forward to returning as I really enjoyed the pizza, the service and the vibe.
