When we walked in me and friend really liked the decor. And the dining room empty at 530 pm on Thursday night. Our server, Lisa, was awesome. Very attentive. Of course we were the only 2 people in the dining area. Our drinks were served quickly and our order was taken. We started with Buffalo wings and they were very good. Both of us ordered a different burger. The burgers and fries were also very good. Lisa did inform us that they will be closing on the 18th for a remodel and another company has acquired the business. So the menu will be changed also. I kinda wish I would have come here sooner. I kind of like the way it is. read more

MY SERVICE DOG WAS NOT PERMITTED IN THEIR ESTABLISHMENT I was told yesterday by the blonde bartender in the Phillip Rivers Chargers jersey that no dogs not even a service dog was allowed in their establishment. A friend and I were running errands and decided we wanted to have lunch. We pulled into Calico Jacks I realized I didn't have my service dogs red designated Harness that says "Service Dog" on it with me. I did have a traditional harness and leash as well as her ADA certification and license. I went in to show the bartender my dogs credentials and I was told no dogs allowed at all. I told her that she can't legally deny my dog and I was told to order food to go. We decided to go elsewhere. Being new to Vegas I didn't know that you don't even need a service dog harness and you don't even need to show credentials I learned that after yesterdays incident. Denying me entry/service with my working service dog violates the Americans with Disabilities Act and is 100% illegal. read more

Hello Yelpers! I saw a review on YouTube and decided to check this place out. We came around 4 PM and it wasn't busy, which was nice. Service was friendly and quick. We split a patty melt with tater tots -- the burger was juicy and cheesy, just how I like it. The tots were good too, just a little oily. I've been on a patty melt kick lately, but next time I'm coming back to try their pancakes -- they looked really good in the video! read more

Calico Jack's Saloon - Patty melt cooked to medium :) :) :) - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We stopped in for dinner as I have always been wanting to try the food! We were the only two people in the dining room. I'm glad the bar is closed off from the dining area. The lighting was a bit dim but the server adjusted the lighting. We ordered the onion rings which were cooked wonderfully. I had the taco salad but the few things I can suggest is that the ground beef didn't taste like taco meat, not enough beans and no salad dressing was included. The tortilla bowl was light and fluffy. My fiancé had the Calico Burger and it was flavorful and very generous beef patty. We will be back as I want to try the fish and breakfast. read more

Maybe new ownership can revive this once amazing place. We only had a few drinks but the atmosphere was depressing

Amazing service from Bonnie! I will be returning with my family and friends. The food was great and drinks were worth it.

I've ventured off to this watering hole a few random times. It has a vintage charm that's really appealing to me because as you know I'm big into vintage places and Las Vegas history. One thing that sets this bar apart from others that they purchased the original House of Lords sign from the former Sahara Hotel. Aside from the decor and dimly lit atmosphere,I came with a purpose and that purpose was food and drink. The bar service was pretty attentive and friendly from a guy named Chad. The bartender seemed to make sure that my drinks were full and that I had everything I needed. I decided to try one of their burgers.... I found that burger be very satisfying and worth the price I paid. Judging by the vibe, this is another nice neighborly watering hole that cater to their regulars. We need more of these places in town. I had a lot of fun hanging out here read more

I have been going to this bar for 33 years and have always loved that it's close to home good food have taken my kids for years for Friday night dinners and it saddens me to say they NO longer aloud kids in the dining room to eat and I believe on the weekends they should hire someone to at least take care of the dining room for breakfast and dinner the Bar tenders can not cut them self in half and shouldn't be expected to !!!! Might as well close up the dining room no one wants to wait for one person to handle both areas!!!! read more

Service with a smile! The turkey melt sandwich special today was incredible! love this place read more

So the hubby and I are out and about - my fault we hadn't eaten earlier and I started experiencing a horrible headache. Hubby knows me well enough to know I needed something to eat! We were heading up Charleston Boulevard and we saw Calico Jacks - mmm bar food is always a favorite. My son and I had eaten here before for breakfast and it was pretty good. So it's a Thursday early evening and we park and enter the establishment. There were absolutely no people in the restaurant part - (take a hint, right?) - we picked a seat and waited for a minute or two when the server approached us (Lisa) and gave us our menus. Very limited paper menu. I had a REALLY hard time finding something I was interested in ordering and should've listened to my hubby and just left. Drinks were already ordered so I decided to find something (remember I had a horrible headache). I ended up ordering a cheese quesadilla and a BLT on sourdough. Hubby ordered the special which was 3 street tacos, beans and an alcoholic beverage. Since we're not big drinkers, hubby didn't order a cocktail. When I made my order I asked the server for extra sour cream. Lisa never once said it would cost me EXTRA! Besides who can eat a quesadilla without sour cream (not me!). Lisa asked hubby if he wanted guacamole and he said "yes" only because he knows how much I love it. The food came and it was good - not great, but good. I had 3 small plastic containers with sour cream and 2 containers with guacamole. We had refills on our drinks (served in small glasses) once or twice. That's it - that's all we ordered. You can imagine my shock as well as hubby's when we received a bill for $53.10!!!!! Can you believe it??? For that kind of money I could've had a steak dinner elsewhere!!! When we questioned Lisa regarding the price she said that's correct - the sour cream and guacamole were extra!!!! Keep in mind while ordering it was NEVER mentioned to us that there would be an EXTRA EXTRA charge for the condiments!!! We questioned the price again and Lisa looked through her receipts (how many could there really be) and told us it was correct - she also said "he (whoever that is) plans on raising prices soon. Here's what we had: 1 BLT on sourdough 1 cheese quesadilla Taco special (3 street tacos) 3 sour creams (I only asked for one extra) 2 guacamoles and 2 iced teas Would you pay $53.10 for this??? What a WASTE of hard earned money. We were charged unbelievable prices for the condiments and were advised of the EXTRA charge for such!!!! I am NOT RECOMMENDING this establishment and am EMBARRASSED to say I went here and actually paid good money for this basic order! Shame on you! read more

Great bartenders and great sandwiches. This is our neighborhood bar here in Las Vegas and we love it. Never a bad time.

What a surprise! We were shopping at Star Nursery next door and got HUNGRY! We don't normally go to places that have smoking but we gave it a shot. Wonderful! The dining room is totally closed off from bar so could not smell the smoke. It was slow since mid afternoon and we had all the attention we needed from Chad. A great bartender most nights and a wonderful help to us on Friday. The food was perfect. We each had the same Taco Salad. Mine in a dish and his in a taco shell. Cozy music and wonderful tasty food. I highly recommend. Open 25/7. Dining room open till 9. read more

Food is amazing here! Been coming here for a year now and it's always the same! Extremely good and very consistent. My wife and I chose to come here one day cause everything sucks over here and man, we fell in love with this joint. The waiter is awesome and both of them know what we normally want all the time unless my wife decides to switch up. Very clean, fast service, polite staff and no humans most times. What more could adults want in our day and age! Go here and you will not be disappointed! read more

I love this neighborhood bar, unfortunately, it's not in my neighborhood anymore. But, that does not stop me from enjoying the great food. Burgers are great and so is breakfast. The prices are very reasonable and I love the bartenders... read more

We love this place and we go all the time. Chad and Annie are amazing! Laura not so much. We went in this morning to eat and gamble after the holiday and she refused to serve us. We got out of our car messing around and shooting each other with a squirt gun. I got water in his ear so he stumbled for a second before entering the bar. Before we even sat down or asked for a menu, she said she wouldn't be serving us. She didn't even wait to see if we even ordered a drink. We frequent this bar multiple times a week, we love the food and enjoy the atmosphere and today was completely uncalled for. Overall, I still give the place 5 stars because the rest of the staff is amazing. I highly recommend this place, just not during one of Laura's shifts read more

This is a follow up review... My first visit was awesome however my second visit was a complete and utter disaster to say the least... So was a friday night and feeling some karaoke and decided to return to Calico Jack's for a night of drinking and singing. This particular visit sucked, four hour wait to sing one song. I am NOT exagerrating when I say us two girls waited four freakin hours just to sing one song. Yes the place is packed on Friday night's but damn this was ridiculous. Not a place for karaoke singers to go if really wanting to have multiple opportunities to sing. Is best left for those who strictly watch. I will not be returning, the KJ's are shady, regulars have priority and go up multiple times while newbies wait wait and wait. Also they accommodate the folks who are filling their tip jar, no fat tippy no singy is what we evaluated. It's just wrong and how convenient that people walking in the door turned in song request with cash and were called up fairly quickly. We got there at 9pm, did not sing until 1:30 that is some BS! I am all about tipping the KJ after a song but not going to pay them to get called. There is also a one drink minimum and the drinks are NOT cheap. The two fat fux running this karaoke operation for Calico Jack's need to learn some karaoke etiquette. I am a big girl but this place is like a trailor park bbw festival, no thanks! Never again, don't waste your time! The two stars I gave is for their great food, yummy burgers and fries. I have nothing against Calico Jack's as a bar, just the two KJ's they have contracted to run the karaoke. GO TO DINO'S INSTEAD FOR THE BEST KARAOKE EVER-SEE MY REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My visit this time was like night and day from last time, there is no recovering from this visit, even though the first time was good. read more

Stopped in today between lunch and dinner with a friend. We were both hangry and suffering from frustrating stuff at home and just wanted a decent burger fast. The service was fast and friendly and I was surprised the food was good! I'll be going back to try fish and chips. About the only negative was cigarette smell. There wasn't any smoking going going on but it was just saturated with the odor. read more

Thank you Chad (bartender/waiter) for sharing your personal flavored creamer with me. That was very kind of you to do that. Our breakfast/brunch food was so yummy and those home fries were AMAZING!!! The food is wonderful, the new decor is beautiful and the staff are such wonderful people. read more

2nd time no cook in the kitchen. 1st time it was ok because of the whole covid thing. This time.. Today 3/3/2021 no excuse. The owner/manager needs to obviously higher more people, or at least better people that actually show up for their job. Otherwise I absolutely love the food. The female bartenders are the best. I'm so disappointed, I guess We'll find somewhere else to go to. If you had a card program you would realize how much you just lost in my revenue. i am very disappointed. read more

My favorite local bar. In fact I've been coming here for over 10 years. The food and service will remind you of what old school Las Vegas is. Dark, drinks and amazing service. Tim, Chad and Annie are stellar; best bar tenders in Vegas. read more

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. A huge group of girls came here for a bachelorette party, and we were treated so poorly it was disgusting. The place was dirty, outdated, and just not fun. If you are not a regular, you are basically worthless there. Our server was just fine, but when we wanted a pitcher of water, the manager had to step in cut us off. Really? No more water? Geez. We waited an hour to sing our first song because the DJ kept putting the regulars in front of us. There is no book for you to sift through, you just pick one at random. I would have thought they'd have wanted our business; we could have bought a lot of drinks and had a good time but they were too busy protecting their regulars and giving crappy service to us. read more

I am the Yelper of my crew and my peeps all laughed when I told them I was going to Yelp this place. They knew it was coming after our experience on Friday night. I was amazed to find several reviews that I could have written myself. Everything you've read on other reviews are true. Service is friendly, but slow. Food is all deep fried bar food. For dessert, I got a brownie sundae (it was a cheat-day. LOL) and the brownie was even freezer-burned, but she still charged me for it though. LOL. When you're into karaoke, you go to karaoke bars for ... wait for it ... karaoke. DUH! Slow service and junk food are tolerable if not expected. Karaoke is supposed to be a way to keep patrons coming back on a regular basis and create a following, but from the reviews, you would expect that Calico Jacks could be so much more successful if they made some easy changes. First let me say that the setup is pimp. There is a separate room designated as a permanent karaoke facility with a stage, dance floor and DJ area. No setup required! There's no reason why this nightly event (3 nights a week) shouldn't start on time... which gets me to my first suggestion. 1. Start karaoke on time. Last Friday, we were the first ones there promptly at 9pm and karaoke didn't start until after 10. We were there until 1am and I only sang twice (But the second time didn't count. It was a duet that I didn't even submit.) while a handful of people - regulars maybe - went multiple times. It doesn't make sense to punish the first-comers by making them wait over an hour to get started. 2. If a tip gets you a Fast Pass, make it known. The first time I was there, I gave the guy a $5, but I still waited another hour. From the reviews, some think this is a secret brotherhood bribe, but this could simply be a misunderstanding. There's no shame in making money. In Hawaii, it's standard to pay the DJ for each song you sing. They, however, let everyone know ahead of time. 3. Don't play favorites. There's no better way to piss karaoke goers off than to pick favorites out to sing several times. This is a business, not a private party for all of your friends. We were there from 9pm - 1am and I only sang one song that I had submitted while others sang several times. REALLY? I only counted 40-50 people in the place. 4. Skip the dance party. For about 10 minutes every hour these guys have a dance party & put the karaoke on hold. I was totally confused. I have a table of 10 people, most of whom came to sing, now have to wait to watch a drunk-fest dance party. I could see if the karaoke DJs needed a break, but they stayed at the DJ booth DJ-ing the dance party. My suggestion is to choose dance songs that karaoke signers have submitted & make THAT the dance portion of the show. All that being said, Calico Jack's had a chance to have a regular party of 10 come every Friday and spend at least $500. Since our PT's changed their karaoke schedule, we need to find a new place to land on Friday nights. I'm afraid that until some things change, we won't be back to partake in karaoke at Calico Jack's. read more

This place is probably the worst karaoke bar I have ever been too. One of my friends was having birthday party here and I have never been so I was looking forward to checking it out. The layout is a very large open room with dive bar decor. On one end is a large karaoke stage, a small dance floor with tables around it and a karaoke DJ booth. The other end is a large square shaped bar with video poker machines. In between, there are a number of tables that can occupy medium to large parties. Right from the start I was accosted by the bouncer who was rude and unfriendly, he demanded our IDs and then rolled his eyes when my girlfriend took 30 seconds to get her ID out if her purse. The next thing I found out about the establishment is that there are a lot of rules that aren't posted anywhere. After the rude bouncer got done checking our IDs he ran over and grabbed one of my other friends and told him you can't wear beanies in here; hats you can wear sure but no beanies. I mean really!?! It was 48 degrees outside. Alright whatever a rude bouncer, no big deal I'll just order a drink, that will be easy at a bar right? Wrong! The bar was semi-busy but the bartenders hold spots at the bar for their regulars even if they aren't there. So after a bartender actually yelled at me for standing in front of an empty video machine, I had to order standing about 2 feet back from the bar.... Their alcohol selections are standard. It took about 10 minutes for 2 cocktails and then bartender wouldn't give me my card back until I signed the receipt... My friends found a dirty table next to a lady who literally passed out at her table. The one cocktail waitress never stopped at our table and ignored us when we tried to get her attention. We put in 4 or 5 songs we wanted to sing and 2 of us got to sing in 4 hours. We mostly just got to watch the regulars go up and sing again and again. I left feeling so disgusted and angry. I will NEVER come back here! Unless you like being treated like a second class citizen, don't come here either. read more

Calico Jack's Saloon - Karaoke stage. - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

So far I have to agree with all other patrons. I ordered a dirty martini, it tasted like olive water, and when I asked for an upgraded Gin and was willing to pay the difference I was told there was nothing we can do there are 50 cameras watching me. ATTENTION MANAGERS/OWNERS you should allow your bartenders some flexibility here. It's a gaming establishment, don't you comp drinks all day long? I am not a 21 year old wanting to sample a bunch of liquor for free. On the karaoke note - if you get here early you will get to sing. Thanks to you karaoke DJ for making the night read more

The one star review is strictly for the bar. Fuck the bar. Waited 30 mins for a fucking beer. Not one of the bartenders make eye contact. They're all shit. As for the Karaoke, I loved it! haha read more

I've been there twice, months ago, and very recently. The first visit was pretty good, the host taking the slips said I was late, but he'd get me in, (I had a tip in hand when I inquired), so no problem there. Somewhat of a meat market dive, which is fine, and I'll stop there. Most recently, I went on a very slow weekend night. I had something scheduled later, but had time to drop in. The host said it would be over an hour before I sang (no tip), and I sat at the bar, killing time on my smartphone, and killing $20 on video poker. The bartender was very quick and cordial at first, but twice cleaned up my drink when I went to the restroom. There were only 5 or 6 people seated at the bar at the time, so that was curious. I waited and waited, and was never called, as I heard familiar voices repeatedly singing. Finally after 2+ hours, I went up, and had to remind the KJ that I had not performed, and it had been 2 hours+. I got up in a couple of songs, and sang to an almost -empty house. I left immediately, only to find that my late date had fallen asleep, so I had to postpone that! I like the system, though, and will give the place one more chance. My star rating may change after one more visit. read more

I've been here several times for karaoke. The place really isn't any fun. I only go here occasionally for karaoke because it's fairly close to where I live. If you decide to visit this place for karaoke you'll do a lot more listening than singing. You'll be lucky to get up to sing once every hour. Drinks are overpriced and the service is very slow. If you wanna go to watch others sing they do have some good regulars. Who, by the way, you'll notice get up to sing a lot more than you do. The food is also decent. If you're looking for a great place to sing karaoke look elsewhere. read more

A friend took me here once for karaoke -- apparently it goes pretty late. We had a couple of drinks and sang a song. Meh. Fast forward a year, and now I live only a few miles from this place. We go to do karaoke again, and I'm sure we had had a few drinks, but the bouncer kept having problems with us. First my girlfriend was trying to sit on my lap, and that wasn't kosher with him. Then he had some issue with my roommate and wanted to fight. The bouncer! I mean come on! Haven't been back since. read more

Cute little neighborhood bar. However, not so little, in fact deceiving at first glance. The place has a small restaurant seating area, tables, and then another open seating sectioned off with a dance floor, full stage, KAREOKE! And DJ booth. Definitely didn't see that coming from the street corner. Me and my main squeeze decided to stop by late friday night, since the bar is walking distance from our home. We were greeted by security, the place was not empty and not packed. We ordered two drinks (bud lights) = $10. Eeehh I think a little over priced. No drink or food specials. And if you sat near the dance floor there was a drink minimum. We didn't stay long but I can imagine that if we were a little toasty and had some friends with us then MAYBE we would have enjoyed it. Not going to make this my new neighborhood spot, but it wasn't all that bad. read more

Look...after 15 years of coincidentally stopping in here for a drink or weekend karaoke, nothing has changed. It's still a staple of Las Vegas old school dive bar memorabilia. The atmosphere is dated, but authentic. The dusty old bottles of liquor are expected. The circa 70's music adds to the ambiance. This is what the local bar always has and will be in Vegas or any city. Gotta love the old school folks. Great little bar, and good people in there. read more

If you are not a regular, service can be hit or miss. What I love about this place is that it is a close, casual bar to summerlin. When I want a "bar burger" or "bar wings" and a PBR and watch a game in a traditional bar enviornment, this is the place I go. My father-in-law enjoys it too as he is a smoker and you can smoke in the bar area. This place is nothing fancy, and that's exactly what is supposed to be. read more

You guys are not winning customers. You charge for glasses of water? Wow! Low-ball. We pay good money to drink at your establishment last night and you charged us for glasses of water on a night you wouldn't want anyone to drive drunk. For shame. Also, your kareoke doesn't allow swearing but you'll allow the N***** word and "bitch" to be said in all your dance songs but an adult (you're only allo...wing adults into your establishment 21 and over) can't swear during a kareoke song. What are we??? ....Kids. I'm sorry but you lost our business with your strong regulations on WATER (I understand people NOT paying and just drinking water) But when people are buying your over priced beers, you can show some gratitude for them being in your dump by letting them have unlimited refills on WATER so that they can sober up and drive safely you nazis. You guys suck and you lost our business. I hope that you are stuck out in the middle of the desert and need a glass of water and the only place you come to charges you for a glass of tap water. You guys are lame. read more

Viva Calico Jack's! At least that is what the sign says on the stage where, on a nightly basis, one can jump up behind the mic and sing their favorite song. I especially enjoy this because, for the most part, the place is empty early in the evening. One can embarass themselves quite easily without having a hundred witnesses. To be honest, later on it really doesn't matter either because either YOU are too drunk to care or everyone else is too drunk to not laugh, clap and dance like an idiot. Trust me, it'll happen here. The karoake is fun, the food is decent and the beer is what you'd expect, though a bit overpriced. If you live near Suncoast Casino, this is fairly convenient for you to get to, otherwise you're best bet is to find something closer to your home. Don't go out of your way. read more

Some friends wanted to get together for some drinks and Karoake... Calico Jacks. Perfect since I enjoy a good local bar and yes...I am that guy who can't sing but loves Karoake. The place is always packed on weekends. It is super low key. Everyone seems to have a good time, the patrons seem to be easy going. It is a pretty good sized joint; bar area with tables, and a dance area with plenty of tables. The karaoake DJ's and sound system are decent - and it helps to throw a couple of dollars in their tip jar. We pretty much just have a good time - Dancin a little, being dumb, drinking, and singing. I love following up after a few people took some 90's love ballads way to seriously. Some chick belts out "wind beneath my wings" all serious like and then I go up there and sing Clarence Carter "Strokin." That's good stuff! BTW - anyone who does Karoake - That's my song. read more

This place is broken into 2 sections, one is a basic diner the other side is bar, gaming and food. I shouldn't even mention it because you know what to expect in a dive bar but I'll never get used to smoking indoors. I come here strictly hungover looking for the best Bloody Mary in town and I always find it. It's never too busy and it's dark AF. My heart has a small pocket for places like this. read more

When I was living in Vegas I wanted to visit this place for two reasons. The first was that it was named Calico Jack's, and I thought of pirates, and the second was because I had a neighbor who hooked up with someone in the bathroom here one night and got 86'd from the place. I just couldn't resist taking a look. Unfortunately, it wasn't as exciting as I expected. My wife and I stopped in for brunch and then came back again the same day at night. During the mid-day it's quiet, so if you're looking for a spot to chill, this is it, but at night it can get a decent crowd going. While you can smoke in the bar section, like most of the places in Vegas that have a separate Restaurant area, you have to deal with two separate bills; one for food and one for drinks. This created a problem for us, since my wife and I lived so close we were pretty inebriated when we left and forgot to pay our food bill. However, they didn't notice and we didn't go back, so maybe it wasn't a problem after all. read more

I used to go for karaoke there. Sometimes I ate there and the food is ok. The drinks are bit overpriced for a bar that is not that clean. Twice I was asked to move because one of their regulars wanted to gamble on a machine that I was sitting in front of in the bar. Once, I had been there for an hour and there were only three other patrons there. They must seat 30 or forty at the bar. The bartender asked me to move. I spent my money there and thought I was polite, friendly and all. The second time that happened I did not think it was a fluke. This place caters to gambling addicts and does not treat all customers like they are right. Never, never never going back. read more

This Place has its good days and its bad days. Ive been coming here for about 8 years and ive seen how everything can go from Great to Horrible.. Though one area of this place has yet to be challanged... Karaoke. If ur looking for just a bar or kick back w/ friends spot then alot of places can compete with this. But when it Comes to Karaoke, nothings better. If u wanna get up to sing a ton of times and dont care about the audience then come in on a wed or thur. but if like me, a full crowd excites and energizes you, come on a friday. Ive seen some of the best Singers here alot, the sound system is perfect, Large and constantly growing Song Book, great dance floor for a bar and as big of a stage as ur gonna get at a bar. You cant ask for anything else when it comes to Karaoke. The rules, the service, the drink prices can be bad sometimes. U may love the food, u may hate it. But like i said.. Ive been to tons of Karaoke bars/shows out here and only a few had everything this place has to offer.. Most of those places are done now and they drinks were way over priced. read more
