12 former employees from the old MGM Grand/Bally's slot department met at The Tavern. Mario (?) put together tables and chairs. We had pizza and drinks while talking about old times. Rap music although not appropriate was not too loud. Appreciate the effort to accommodate us. Bathroom door displays very unusual. read more

I've been coming here for a while now and overall it's been a good experience but recently I've had some issues with how the bar comps drinks and food. I am an active player sometimes I win, break even or lose however as of recently I've had issues getting my food and drink comped I almost always order from the player menu and many times I have to remind the bartender to take the discount off the bill. Today was the worst example of this I had 3 drinks within the space of 40 minutes or so with active play I just so happened to break even in this time and I had a meal from the players menu. The bartender Juan while friendly and attentive gave me a bill with no drinks comped and full price on the players menu when I asked him about this and tried to get the drinks taken off he told me it worked like every other bar that I had to play $1 or more a hand and lose $20 per drink but I broke even so they aren't comped. Well that's not how any other bar works in all my time playing at various bars including this one my drinks have been comped whether I win or lose and I've always played 1.25 a hand or more so this was perplexing that not a single drink I ordered was covered after almost an hour of continuous play. I eventually got him to at least give me the players discount but still paid for every single drink. Perhaps I had too many drinks within the time frame but I should have at least had one of them comped I've never run into a bar that doesn't comp drinks for play it's just so standard but if this is the new policy of the Tavern I will find someplace else to gamble. Getting drinks comped is the bare minimum of a gaming bar if their policy has changed it is no longer worth it to visit and I would recommend any of the many competitors to this bar just for this factor alone. I'm assuming it is the bartenders discretion in which case I've never had an issue with Ted this is my first time seeing the other bartender Juan I will not be returning when he is there. read more

We had really disappointing experiences. Just look at the photos and ask yourself if this is worth a $50 buffet: boiled chicken, salad, fries, sausage, beans... Everything was bland and cold. It was shockingly bad, even Golden Corral does a far better job. Yes, the price includes unlimited beer, but realistically, how many beers can you drink to justify a $50 ticket when the food is this poor? And FYI, it's unlimited cheap beer, soft drinks like Coke or tea aren't even included. I expected them to maintain at least a decent standard, but this was truly unacceptable. It feels like they cut corners in the worst way and ended up driving customers away. They don't host buffets often, so this should have been a chance for people to sample their dishes and want to return. Instead, it did the opposite. You genuinely feel like they just wanted to rip you off and didn't care about your experience at all. read more

Nice spot! We heard about the $3.99 Thursday spaghetti and meatballs on YouTube and decided to check it out. Clean and warm interior, friendly service, and the special did not disappoint! Wall to wall TVs so it was great to just kick back and watch VGK. Lots of other specials on deck. The 12a-2a $2 hot dog and vodka is on the list haha. I'm sure we'll be back to try more. read more

Solid. Was gonna go to a familiar but delicious spot for my birthday but woman showed some videos and the menu sounded yummy here so we came. Wasn't super busy, we were greeted when we walked in. Jessica was fabulous! Knowledgeable, attentive, kind and funny. She was able to answer every question we had about the menu and her recommendations were spot on. We did the 3 for $20 app platter w surfboards, potstickers and Rangoon. Delicious! Everything tasted fresh and the house made marinara and ranch were amazing. Lots of things on the menu were appealing but I ultimately did the garlic noodz w shrimp and woman did the piccata. Jessica knew the piccata was lemony and that the noodz paired better with the shrimp than meatballs and she wasn't wrong. They could've put a couple more shrimp on but given what they charge it's probably on par. My food was good but it got better overnight. The garlic set in and the bread was amazing!!! They had a lot of things on the menu I'd come back to try. I'd also come back for Jessica's amazing service. She really made the visit. The place itself is spacious and we had our pick of tables. Naturally I did the VIP one in the corner. It was made for royalty lol. Lots of screens and one had cute animals and bloopers. They had another announcing upcoming events at tavern and what the different days specials are. Great food and experience. Jessica said they got busier after the video came out so they schedule staff to accommodate. The waits were reasonable and we had a great experience. read more

Nice little hole-in-the-wall gaming bar with a great vibe! Everyone was friendly when we walked in, and the atmosphere felt really welcoming. We only gambled this time but definitely want to come back and try the food. I can't remember our bartender's name, but she was the younger woman with light brown hair working this past Monday night--super friendly and an excellent bartender! read more

Great food and vibe. Feels like cheers. Bartender welcoming and friendly. Occasional live music. Bitcoin ATM available too.

Just bad all around. I had a steak and it was borderline going back to the "chef". Service was OK not fast or attentive.

We went on a Thursday night to catch the spaghetti dinner specials. Pulled up thought the spot was a bit sketch but cool. Rolled in and found the interior to be pretty cool. Our server Jaimie, with two i,s in her name was awesome. She pretty much was the entire staff. Now the spaghetti. Normal boiled noodles and canned sauce. The meatballs were two formed and fried balls of hamburger. Not much for spice. More reliant on the sauce. No garlic bread in sight. The martini was good. The shot of cinnamon whiskey was generous and the 805 on tap was nice and cold. The price was also very nice on everything. read more

Been here several times. Always the food is very good. (little too much salt on the egg salad) We have had the taco salad, a Cobb salad, fish and chips, chicken Marsala... but last week, we ordered soup along with our meals. After 20 minutes, i asked if we still had soup coming. Oh yes, they are making them!!!??? I have been in this type of business for nearly 50 years. As a chef, a manager, purchasing agent... never have I been in a place that makes the soup to order!! Not heard of!! It did come out tasty, but a half hour!! Is this a chef or a cook from home who decided to try his hand for real!!??? read more

We have been here during the day and our experience with Mallory has been great. Good food etc. Being here for the first time on a Saturday night, I expected so much better. Our food is soooo soaked in grease. The corn is in a bath of grease and butter, and the chips aren't even cooked all the way they just go limp and wiggle. Gross. Waitress tried saying this is how it normally looks. From our experience it is not how it normally is. Still like the workers tho. read more

Nice, vibey small business. It's not your average Tavern, but it's cozy and spacious. You'll find classic, pleather couches and chairs as opposed to wooden tables/chairs (though they do have those at the bar). They have a fun, flirty Baywatch theme going, which was unique. Lots of games, board games, darts, and video poker type games. Wednesday is free trivia, which is not your average trivia because the guys that put it on come up with their own questions. Full kitchen, food was comfort style and hearty. Patrons seemed to love the food, though I didn't eat. They did have a few items on a healthier food option menu if you aren't looking for the bar food vibe. They have great specials depending on what night of the week you visit - including $9.99 pizzas and BOGO beer deals on Wednesday. They are adamant about no smoking or vaping, which I appreciated. Would definitely return and would recommend. read more

Honestly one of the best Vegas pubs we've been to, we wish they were a little closer to our house! Great food. Great owners. No Smoking. Great specials. Great staff. Gaming, darts, pool. Comfortable seating. We went 3 times the first week we found this place, trust me - it's not that easy to find! We loved all the food we've tried, but the spaghetti and meatballs and the bread pudding are amazing. read more

We went yesterday graveyard and our bartender was Juan P. Me and my boyfriend were gambling and playing darts. We each had 2 drinks. And when we asked for the bill Juan P had the audacity to say since we won money on the machines we were not allowed to have a comped drink. He told us if we would have lost money on the machines he'll comp our drinks but since we won some money he did not want to comp our drink. That's the first time I've heard that rule at a bar. Usually bars comp drinks if you're consistently gambling the whole time and that's what we were doing. We put alot of money into the machines. So be careful whenever you go to this location, If you're gambling and winning some money you are not entitled to a comped drink. read more

We stopped in on a Friday evening based on the advice of a YouTube review. They weren't really busy but it took over 45 minutes before they served our food. I ordered their fish sandwich special and my wife had chicken piccata. The food was fine, but it felt like they paid more attention to the people at the bar and forgot about us. I'm not sure if we will be back. read more

We have visited twice now and had great visits both times. Joanna was our server each time. She was helpful and made recommendations upon our request. We were never with out a beverage. On the first visit we ordered the pizza and bucket of beer (5 beers) special during happy hour for $28. We had mushroom, peppers, and onions (our standard). The pizza could use more sauce for us, but was good. The second visit was a week later and we ordered the Thursday special, which is spaghetti and meatballs for $3.99. It was really good, the sauce had a nice kick to it and the portion was plenty especially for the price. We also ordered the fried peanut butter and jelly to share, which was good as well. They have specials all day Monday through Friday and Happy Hour is 3-6pm every day. It's a fun place to watch the game and hangout with nice people. As a bonus you do not leave smelling like cigarette smoke! read more

Showed up at 2pm to have the Tuesday special minus the Modelo, was acknowledged by the bartender then sat in dining area. And that's it. Left at 220 because I'm due back to work and needed time to do a quick stop at the Wendy's on my way to work. read more

Our first time to this hotel and wow was it gorgeous! We had adults and teens with us and we wanted dinner but nothing to fancy.

I also saw that the nachos looks amazing and the Cali roll was great, it wasn't your normal roll it had a twist! We will be back for sure and highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff, fast service, ambiance of your typical bar off of the strip. This place kinda has a dive bar appeal. Pool tables, and a juke box for your pleasure. Also several tvs around the bar and seating areas for the sports fans. Tried some of their game day specials pizza, buffalo chicken bites, burger and a libation (extra dirty gin martini). Food was decent, of all the items the pizza was the best, the burger was ok (came with cheese and bacon and a side of fries), the buffalo chicken bites were slightly over cooked making the outer shell quite hard but the inside was flavorful. Their breakfast items seem to be a popular dish. Limited parking in the parking lot. read more

We loved the atmosphere when we walked in and it began as a good night. But the food was very disappointing. We got the calamari, chicken marsala, and a T-bone steak dinner. All three of them were very disappointing. And the steak dinner costing $40 you expected it to be somewhat decent. The service was just OK probably would only go back if we were going to get cheap bar food, and sit at the bar. read more

I've been a Rams fan for a long time and I heard this was a Rams bar so we decided to check it out on Sunday for the football game. Located off Rainbow with plenty of parking close by. I was excited to see the place full of Rams fan and really enjoyed watching the game here. Bartender/servers were super nice and helped us figure out the best deals for what we wanted as they have lots of game day specials. Tried the traditional breakfast and later had some chicken wontons and a pizza, all the food was good! The place has pool tables and plenty of tvs for the games. I will definitely be back to cheer on the Rams! read more

A solid place to grab drinks with friends. I came during the vgk playoffs to meet a friend and watch the game. I liked that they have multiple tvs and a some game day specials on food & drinks too. The food menu is pretty vast and is a bit more elevated than typical bar food. I tried the Buffalo chicken wontons which were pretty good. Reminded me of a crispy pizza roll. I'd definitely come back again in the future. read more

Bait & Switch! I received a BOGO entree coupon from Valpak so I went to try out this place with my son. I ordered Chicken Milanese and my son ordered the Steak. Nothing on the menu exceeded $18. Chicken was very good, steak was a disaster, fatty & gristly to the point where I couldn't cut through it with the serrated knife that was provided. The server was overly patronizing telling us "he'll make anything we want, we have everything here" to the point where we wanted him to go away so we could peruse the menu, he was rather distracting. After ordering, server returns to the table to suggest a side salad, ambiguous about any upcharges and even suggested to save room for dessert. He also commented on how were weren't drinking our drinks fast enough, generally overly pushy and in your face. He was so overly nice, the last thing we wanted to do was criticize the steak, and since we assumed it was a $17 entree like all the others, we would suck it up. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to see that the charge for the steak was $40 and we asked for an adjustment. At which point, the server said we have a problem and became contentious. The problem here was the menu didn't not say "market price" which would signal us to ask the actual cost. Note the attached photo of menu show's the steak price is blank. Even the chalkboard for the "steak special" revealed no pricing information. In contrast to the steaks misleading cost, the Chicken Francaise displayed on the menu reveals fine print "Sea Bass when available at Market Price or Filet of Cod $14." In this case, the upcharge is clear. read more

Definitely will be back again. read more

I love this place! Good prices. Great service,nice vibe & plenty of screens. Will definitely return.

A non-smoking gaming and sports bar??? Heck yeah!! Things that are great about this place: 1. Non-smoking 2. Surprisingly delicious bar food! (Get the poutine, it's delicious!) 3. Breakfast served all day. Sunrise special for 2.99 if you're here between 6-9 in the morning. 4. Clean, and super friendly staff. 5. Truly on draft (if that's your thing) and a great Bloody Mary. 6. CBD vending machine. 7. Pool table + darts. 8. New ownership is doing a surf/beach vibe and revamped the whole menu too. There are tons of options for everyone. 9. Probably lots more things but I'll definitely be back so I can figure that out. 10: Non-smoking, did I mention?!?! 11. Tons of TV's and a projection screen for all the sports balls. read more

We have been twice since the new ownership. It's not the same!!!! Menu changed, happy hour changed, the Vibe changed, tryin to be a Cali / surf bar!!! It's weird. The first time we came in ordered the chicken fingers and was served raw chicken, comped a round of two drinks. Which we know doesn't cost a bar. Comp the food clowns! Second time we just did a round of drinks. The vibe like I said isn't the same. Lighting is different. Bartenders are different. Don't think this is my local spot anymore. read more

I have mixed emotions about writing this review because I don't really want to let the secret about this place be known and become too crowded, but on the other hand I want this tavern to be successful and remain open for years to come. So, I'm going to share this place with you, but it has to stay "just between us." We decided to check out this gem for Taco Tuesday. We stumbled across this place thanks to Google and found out they offered a Taco Tuesday deal for $3 that included a pint of Modelo and 3 street tacos with pulled chicken. It's funny when you look at their website the taco deal says "special rules and restrictions apply." I'm not sure why they are being so "cryptic and secretive" about the "rules/restrictions. It's pretty straight forward. You are allowed ONE deal per person. If you want to eat 18 tacos, you're welcome to order all you want at the REGULAR price (which as of this writing is 3 tacos for $8.00), but you only get the one special deal (3 tacos and Modelo for $3) per person. Okay, now that we got the pesky "rules" out of the way, I have to say these were some of the best street tacos I've ever had. The shells were made just the perfect amount of crispness to softness and NOT greasy. A lot of places make them as if they are just out of the package...not really hot and certainly not even the slightest bit of crispness. They were also loaded with chicken, lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions (I think) and a drizzle of sour cream. We also lucked out because we arrived during Happy Hour. Bucket of domestic beer were $10 and Imported beer buckets were $15. I think it's mildly amusing that every bar I've ever been to considers Sam Adams an "import beer." Newsflash, Samuel Adams beer is owned by The Boston Brewery, which has three breweries: Boston, Massachusetts; Cincinnati, Ohio; Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Last time I check, none of those states are considered foreign countries, so how is Sam Adams an "import beer"? In any case, I can't really complain too much because for $15 you get 5 beers, seeing as it's only $3 bucks per beer, I guess we can let them call it whatever they want. We decided to try some food items from the Happy Hour menu: Candied Bacon--OMG!! So delish! Who knew covering bacon with brown sugar and broiling it (or whatever they did to it would be so yummy)? Next, we tried the Buffalo Chicken Wontons. Pretty much what the title says is what they are. It's shredded chicken with a creamy buffalo sauce and then wrapped in a wonton skin and deep fried served with a side of ranch (or maybe blue cheese--I can never decipher which is which unless it's REALLY lumpy). Lastly, we tried the deep fried PB&J. I thought it was an amazing dessert, but my husband wasn't that impressed. Oh well, his loss is my gain. It's thicks slices of bread with crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jam that's deep fried and served with a side Bailey's whip cream. Granted I wouldn't recommend eating this everyday, but OMG...such a treat!! Also, this place may be a "bar," but it has TONS of tables and booths and FULL food menu...everything from appetizers to sandwiches, to burgers and full meals. All the prices are VERY reasonable (I was hard pressed to find anything over $18). There's a cool reggae vibe thanks to the music that's playing throughout the bar and our server, Naomi, was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeably. She was the perfect server and added to our experience. She even had the owner, Max, come over to talk with us. It was a very fun and yummy experience. We're looking forward to our next Taco Tuesday and to try them for regular meals, too. read more
