Was beaten for trying to close out of my tab by the bartenders friends. Kicked in the head 10/10 would not go again. No beer on taps only cans. Their special is a $4 a pabst. That's the special, go get the can at any 7/11 and I promise you'll enjoy it more in literally any setting. The reason I was told why they don't have taps was from literal staff saying the bartenders don't know how to properly clean to keep taps an option. Disgusting in pretty much every sense besides the people who need a venue or a stage. Mediocrity, overpriced, dark, smelly, and the bartenders will be on their 3rd day of a bender when you arrive so expect that service standard. Go to the papusa place next door though it's amazing. read more

This place is class only because it lives up to its name. You don't know what you're gonna get when you go there and is part of the fun. Friendly staff and good slots. read more

One of my favorite Local Places to see Shows " Metal and Punk " Been to Probably 50 or more shows at this Venue and I'll keep coming back

If you just stop in for a beer / shot or just in to listen to the great music that's performed live on the stage by a great assortment of bands you won't be disappointed. The " Dive Bar" is just what it is . read more

This is NOT a Steelers bar. 30 mins till kick off and no one was at this place. Opened the door and didn't even step in. We were turned off by the smell and the look of the place, dirty and trashy. read more

I liked this venue for the few shows I've seen. Good parking, good bands, and the name covers the vibes of the spot well. It's grungy and casual, so don't expect spotless bathrooms and friendly bartenders. My only complaint is $6 for a bottle of water. Edgewise, I've had a fun time here. It's standing room mostly with little seating, so plan for that ahead of time. read more

Las Vegas has some of the best dive bars in the country. I'm talking graffit everywhere, grimy but not dirty, usually a pool table and some broken signs. The dive bar is one of the 3 best along with the double down and the stage door which is 100% not a money laundering operation at all. Not even a little bit. Don't even know why you would suggest it honestly. If you like true dive bars you'll love it. If you don't love I am inclined to believe you are not a true dive bar head. read more

Idk this place operates. Day or night, the patrons and staff are all high on something. Been here a total of 30 times, and its the most memorable terrible experience ever each time. My pals like this, but my pals are dumb. You tip $20 before ya get your drink, and get the wrong drink, no hello, and the bartenders are pretty prejudice and decide to talk to other patrons and ignore you after you play hundreds of dollars. Treeka and the staff this past 4 years are so awful. The food and kitchen have no personality. The machines don't pay, the bar and venue is dirty. The people who like this area are divey slobs that bother you when you are here with pals.. please go anywhere else. DIVE BAR is appropriate but no character, service, or quality in any sense. read more

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. read more

You guys can improve all around on 12/6/24 you guys had bands playing nowhere. Did it say comedians.... The bartender sucked. She was all around like she was drunk herself the security guard at the door trying to charge $10 ahead when the flyer simply said five dollars. This wasn't the first time he tried to do that.... This bar should be shut down. It's a shit hole in the wall. The bathrooms were disgusting and anyone that gives five stars is absolutely crazy and disgusting themselves read more

If you love Dive bars you will love this place it's the best Dive bar I have ever been to. Pretty Bartenders great vibe and plenty of live music. One thing I really love is that they support local bands and musicians. read more

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. read more

Best tiramisu I've ever had in my life. If you dont ask, they won't tell!! Don't sleep on this treat!!!!

I got resurrected here once it was a close one but the wings are good would definitely come back

I hate this service. Advertising opened at 11am and it's almost 1pm and it's all locked up. I ordered my food online and it said pick up between 12:25-12:35pm. There is loud music inside so I know there is workers. I keep pushing the door bell it obviously can't be herd with the music or this place is so cheap they can't afford the door bell to work. I paid online and no one answers the phone and I can't get my money back. Never get food from here. Lies after lies. Definitely false advertisement read more

Vegas dive bar with some great music and cheap drinks. Check it out sometime! Music is about 7 days a week and all kinds of rock metal and punk. Glad to see them back in action! read more

Love this place! Cool people and affordable drinks. Came on a slower night with no live music but I'll be back to check out a show soon!

Service was continual. Ambiance nostalgic, dive , trashy chic. Some real old time bar flies to engage in conversation. Don't remember the food or if there was food, probably as a result of the great drink service read more

While visiting Vegas my BF stumbled upon The Dive Bar while searching for a dive bar nearby. We had the whole family with us so we figured why not after seeing the 16oz PBR's for $3 all day everyday. We were all killing time until the night time shows we were planning to see on the Strip. The Dive Bar is probably the darkest bar I have ever been to and if you know me you know that is a compliment. The only real light here is the cute vintage Elvis bust lamp located behind the bar in the front. Stage lights are also another light source too. Plenty of room to get down here and all high top tables and bar space for us to sit around and drink. We were lucky as the waitress shared with us that Budlight was $2 on draft. After 5 rounds we decided we should walk around the shopping center which I highly suggest. There is a cool comic book store, a local punk/rock shop, a liquor store, and a few places to stop in and get a bite to eat. Shoutout to the waitress we visited 2x while we stayed in Vegas and visited The Dive Bar. You were so kind to us and even after my father was only tipping you a couple of dollars after each round and we followed behind him shoveling you another $5 here and there to cover for his cheapskate-ness :) Appreciate the kindness, understanding, and charm. You are the best! read more

A friend invited me to the dive bar to be Entertained by a Comedy Show . To my surprise it was a show featuring all of the comics in their skivvies. That's correct they all performed in their underwear or underwear and bra. I was not expecting this but as the comedian reached the stage, it reminded me of seeing a train possibly colliding and could not turn away. The performance featured about six comedians tighting their craft. In my mind it became a game for me to guest what style the men would be wearing in particular. Do you know boxers or briefs type of thing. Cracking myself up at the end results. Just watching them peel their clothing off was just as entertaining as the jokes that they performed which actually were quite funny. The name dive bar really suits this place. It's old dark and smoky smoky smoky. I don't believe they have any ventilation at all as it took two days of washing my hair to get the smoke out. That was really the only downside to the place. Parking is ample there's a bouncer at the door. The night that I went no one got out of line or was disorderly. I really enjoyed the show a lot and my friend did too so much so that he's going to attempt it next week because they have amateur night. I will definitely go to support my friend but due to the heavy amount of smoke I probably won't return. read more

Don't get me wrong, this place is a dump. But if you like live music played way too loud on a small indoor stage, bathrooms with more stickers and graffiti than paper products, badass bartender babes, offbeat regulars and randoms, 1998 vintage video poker, shooting pool while drinking PBR tallboys for $3, I guess you are in luck. read more

Had the pleasure of performing here with my outta state band recently. "Dive Bar" is what it is and that's what I like. Great music, great staff, great food. Not the typical Vegas spot but that's not what I like. Hopefully we'll be back soon. read more

Great place to disappear for a while! Loud music and friendly bartender. What more do you need?

I came here for a Jungle Rot concert and was not disappointed. The Dive Bar lives up to its namesake. If not for the overwhelming stench of cigarette smoke that literally left me coughing, smelling like an ash tray, and made my eyes burn this would have been a 5 star review. Reasons why I love this bar: #1 Cheap drinks! $3 PBRs and $4 Vodka Crans. #2 The concert "stage" lets fans get up close and personal with the band. #3 The bathrooms are hilarious. They're plastered with vulgarities and nonsense, but they were clean at least (Although there weren't any toilet seat covers...). #4 They play Cannibal Corpse. C'mon, it doesn't get any cooler than that. FUN FACT: The Dive Bar was on Bar Rescue! Someone please tell me what episode this is on. The Dive Bar is located right across from UNLV. If I lived on-campus, you bet your ass I'd be there all the time. GOOD TO KNOW: There is no security here. It's every man for himself. There were a few fights that almost broke out, but the crowd did a good job at breaking things up. The mosh pit got kind of crazy. A tiny girl got blind-sighted sitting at a table near the back of the bar, was thrown out of her chair, and ended up getting a concussion. Geez. Worth a Return Visit? I wish Dive Bar was closer! It's a bit of a Trek from my usual hang out spots. I'd always be down to see a concert there, though. YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #164 read more

Ah, The Dive Bar. You know...I didn't like coming to this bar until about 2 years ago...my best friend started hosting Karate Karaoke there...I started going to support him, and met some really cool, great people. Now..this place is my second home. The staff are not just staff...they're family. The regulars too, y'all are family and are stuck with me. Every member of the staff are great bartenders. Hell, I can even get a fancy Chocolate Pretzle Martini here...not typical of a "dive bar". Great prices on drinks, heavy pours, and great entertainment. I've seen a ton of great bands here, local and otherwise, that are really super cool people and good musicians as well. If you're looking for a place to meet really cool people, this is the place. if you're looking for a place to drink and disappear, this is the place. So come on down! Bring a marker and leave your mark on the graffitied up bathrooms! Have a drink, have a chat, and listen to some good music. read more

Went to The Dive Bar with my cuz. Great place to go for a dive bar (hence the name). Super cheap beer and a great atmosphere. Every time I come to Vegas (once a year) I always stop out since it reminds me of a bar I was a regular at before it closed down. Friendly staff and quick service. Do miss the live music but hope 2021 can bring it back. read more

Come here for the music that's about it. This place hosts really good punk music nights and they bring in many well known bands. The stage is super small and it gets super smoky here. This is one of the smokiest bars in Vegas. I felt that the drinks were expensive for the venue. I paid 7 dollars for a single Jameson on the the rocks and it was under poured each time. Bartenders weren't that cool and super slow. read more

Fun dive bar that has stand up comedy on Monday nights around 8:30pm. No cover charge so come in and sign up and get your 4 minutes of fame on stage. Doesn't matter if you're funny or not the audience will still clap. The bartenders here are friendly and the drinks are cheap. $5 for a vodka soda and it's strong. It's dark inside and pretty smoky (which is more the norm in Vegas). It was my first time up here and felt welcomed right away. Cheap entertainment only 10 minutes from the Strip! read more

Omg 4pm on a Sat we were only inside for 30 min. I barely got service for 2 16oz cans of PBR. As we got there the band was bringing amps in thru the front door, as we were there 2 fights broke out and 2 people got kicked out, 1st for being too drunk, the 2nd I overheard as I was leaving so not sure why. Yes this was during the day, can you imagine what happens at night? I don't know either but cant wait to come back to find out!! read more

We finally stopped in on a Saturday night. Very good vibe. Lots of bikers and leather. They also had live music. Speed metal. Was loud and powerful. Drinks were reasonable. $6 for a shot of whiskey. Not too smoky. Just a classic dive bar in the middle of a strip mall. Would definitely recommend. read more

Exactly what you would expect - nothing more, nothing less. Stopped in for a quick drink, or two, or three. Ask for Amelia.

I have always loved a good dive bar. This one ticks a lot of those boxes. Dingy bathroom? Check. Decent basic drinks? Check. And the praise ends there. The bartender seems to think that it's charming to be antagonistic. Some people really pull that off. She does not. My girlfriend and I had to hang out with some random chick all night because some dude there was being way too creepy with her. Told the staff. No one cared. Sure, I don't know any of these people. Hard to make a bad review based on that. My main gripe is that if you're going to a show there, better have the next three days off work. Doors are at 8? If the headliner that you laid to see is on stage before 1am count yourself lucky. It's to the point that if I see a band that I really want to see is booked there, I'm chalking that one up to a miss. Too many times I've bought tickets to a show that I was excited about only to finally leave around midnight only having seen one supporting band, because that's as far as they've gotten in the lineup. Las Vegas is a 24 hour city, but some of us aren't looking for the headliner that we paid to see not take the stage until 5 hours after doors. I've been to way too many good dive bar venues that can at least put on a good and timely show to give another chance to Dive. read more

Hella rude and blunt staff...the 1st time I was here told the bartender wanted to split the bill with a friend and told her ahead of time, the bitch proceeded to give me a speech, essentially ending it with how much easier it was for her to put it on 1 tab. Her unprofessional self then proceeded to take 1 of my fries without asking earlier in the night when we were in conversation and I had ordered fries. Just today, the bartender told me it was happy hour. I was like Great. A few minutes later, tried to ask her what time happy hour was everyday? She cut me off before I could finish what I was trying to say and said it's over at 8 pm today. read more

I wandered into Dive Bar on a Friday night because I had a friend playing a gig here. I literally felt like I stepped into a time machine and was transported back to the 1990s. So much leather, jean vests, plenty of dark eyeliner, tattoos galore, and a lot of dark, dark colors on the patrons, and yes folk, I witnessed Doc Martins. In a bright summer floral sun dress, I stuck out like a sore thumb. I usually don't frequent watering holes. I enjoy dancing and getting dolled up. If I do go to a bar, I don't like them too loud, especially when I have stellar company and want to carry on a conversation. The place isn't rather large. There is a huge bar in the back with seats all around it. There are several hi-top tables (like maybe 6) in front of the stage set up. Not a lot of seating and definitely not good for large groups. The place is smokey, which I expect in dive bars. The drink prices were reasonable. $4 for a vodka-cran is great. The place was loud. So loud that a friend shouting in my ear and I still couldn't hear here. For shows, there is no need for music to be that loud! I was not into the bands these evening, one was rockabilly, the others were more punk rock. Just not my style or mood for the evening. Lack of seating, a very specific type of patron, overly smokey, bathrooms with graffiti on them (the ladies toilet seat, yes the SEAT!, said "C--T DROPPINGS HERE), overly loud, blaring music, and cheap drinks make this a very, very, very stereotypical dive bar. This place is nothing special and I could not wait to get the hell out of here. Thank goodness for cheap drinks and friendly, attentive bar staff are the only reason it's not a complete one star. I won't be diving in to Dive Bar again... EVER. read more
