    Ordered both west coast and east coast oysters and they both have their own flavors and I couldn't pick which one is better. I like them both. Also got their secret menu item, baked oysters, come with two flavors, scampi and Cajun, scampi has cheese on top and Cajun is just perfect, if I have to pick one, Cajun would be one. Also ordered calamari basket from lunch menu and portion was a bit small for my opinion. Lunch size crab pan roast is another good value item, it tasted towards Cajun flavors instead of buttery pan roast style from well known pan roast from one of the casino's oyster bar. I picked spice level of 7 and it was perfect, flavorful and kick of chilies. Service was ok. The server got our orders wrong but she made it on the house but later I found out she mistakenly charged extra for other dishes. I believe it was honest mistake and part of my fault for not paying attention. It could have been a higher rating if I didn't have to deal with all that. Plus the restaurant wasn't busy at all. There were only three tables including mine.

    Pan Roast Seafood
    Jeannie C.

    PK Oyster Bar is located in the old New Orleans Square. It's a bit off the beaten path, but there's plenty of convenient parking. We decided to try it for two reasons: we wanted to avoid the long wait at Palace Station Oyster Bar, and our 14-year-old was excited to try pan roast for the first time and loves raw oysters. When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty, with only one couple seated by the window. We didn't let that discourage us from giving it a try. The restaurant appeared to be a true mom-and-pop operation, staffed by one cook, one kitchen helper, and a waitress who also greeted and seated guests. The waitress was friendly, attentive, and provided prompt service. We were quickly seated, given water, and handed menus. The décor is simple and unpretentious, creating a casual neighborhood feel. We ordered two Seafood Combo Pan Roasts, Linguine with Clams, a half dozen raw oysters, and an extra order of rice to soak up the pan roast sauce. The Seafood Pan Roast was disappointing. Instead of the rich, seafood creamy savory that makes this dish so satisfying, it leaned heavily on tomato sauce. The consistency was quite soupy, with only small pieces of seafood scattered throughout. The Linguine with Clams had a strong briny flavor but lacked the garlic, butter, and savory seasoning we were expecting. There was also very little clam meat, making the dish feel underwhelming. Overall, the service was warm and welcoming, but unfortunately the food didn't quite live up to our expectations. Based on the many positive reviews, I have a feeling we may have visited on an off day. We truly appreciated the attentive service and the convenience of easy parking, so we'd be open to giving PK Oyster Bar another try in the future.

    Everything was great

    How is this place not packed? Inside the commercial center is a true hidden gem! I would never think this place existed, such a chill vibe inside with music playing, the decor is welcoming the staff so attentive. The food though!!! Indescribable, the gumbo was better than I had in Louisiana, the Voodoo Pasta Voodoo'd all of us at the table out of this world then came the pan roast, now what the heck is this magic soup/stew whatever dish. The PAN ROAST! Was so amazing I wanted to gate keep this place but it's out there already.

    We decided to dine in on our first night in Vegas. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. The oysters were delicious and tasted extremely fresh. The server brought out a vast variety of different brands of hot sauce for us to try. I love the pan roast combo. The sauce was thick and flavorful with a good amount of protein and seafood. My partner ordered the jambalaya with rice, which I thought was just okay. There was too much rice and barely any protein and seafood. Definitely better than the extended wait times at the Oyster bars on the strip. I will visit again during my next Vegas trip.

    I love Pan Roast and I love the Oyster Bar in Palace station but there was no way that place would work for our party of 11. I had heard of PK Oyster Bar from a friend and that the Chef actually came from the Oyster Bar. A bunch of us flew in to Vegas and I had made reservations ahead of time for a Friday night. The restaurant décor was pretty cute and I was surprised this place wasn't packed. Our server was Alex and he really attentive and explained all the questions about the menu. Our table ordered Gumbo, Pan Roast, Jambalaya and I seen that they had a Bouillabaisse-Pan Roast (which is one of the most popular items). I ordered my younger kids the fried shrimp & fried calamari basket with fries. The food came out pretty quick. Bouillabaisse-Pan Roast was a level 5. It wasn't too hot and there was a lot of flavors. There were pieces of crab, clams, shrimp and mussels. This dish was definitely a 10/10! Everyone really enjoyed their meals and said we'd definitely return again.

    House Pan Roast Seafood Combo

    Came here for brunch, right when they open around 10/10:15. To start off, service was great, very attentive easy to call out if needed & our server was great. Very casual, chill place. So dress attire is casual, good for groups too. We decided to go there because oyster bar in palace station is way too crowded. The quality is okay, I'd give it a 6.5-7/10. I like my pan roast more on the creamier side.

    Peel and eat shrimp
    James S.

    So we initially came to this spot because the word is, a chef from the oyster bar at palace station started his own restaurant. Ordered the oysters for happy hour, delicious. Peel & Eat shrimp was not the business. Looked more like a soup with frozen (already peeled) shrimp. A bit disappointing, confirmed with the server that it was actually what they served as 'peel and eat' shrimp. Now coming from the 'oyster bar' at another station casino (which the known owner previously worked at). It was a bit of a disappointing sight to see. Think I'll stick with the oyster bars @ stations. Left hungry and disappointed. Would not recommend unless you have time to kill and happen to be in the area.

    Came in at 11am on a Saturday and the place looked deserted! The parking lot and location is super sketchy looking and the my had a couple of secure guys outside Inside was nice and we were the first customers. Because they don't have a liquor license yet, they allow you to BYOB. The others in my group went next door to the liquor store and bought drinks while waiting for the food. Food was good. It was all cooked fresh. My pan roast is not as good as Palace Station but worth it since no wait and the flavor is there. I only wish it had better seafood in it. I really only tasted some small pieces of crab and a couple of shrimp. Server seemed very new and unsure but she was nice. They made the fried okra off menu for us and it was very addictive.

    Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich with fries, shrimp cocktail, fried calamari with fries

    We had happy hour quick bite of New England clam chowder, shrimp po boy, shrimp cocktail and fried calamari and all of them tasted great. Came in after 1pm and only a few people were there. It's away from the strip so it doesn't get crowded. Service is quick and our server is quite attentive.

    Apple turnover
    Victoria F.

    Went at 7 on a Sunday for dinner. Was seated immediately as no one else was in the restaurant. Ordered oysters, a Caesar salad, and seafood combo pan roast. The oysters were juicy and didn't have a fishy smell. The Caesar salad was a great portion size, if you add meat it would definitely be enough as a dinner portion. The pan roast was also a huge portion and had plenty of seafood that made for great leftovers, ordered a spice level 6 and it was perfect. Wanted to cap it off with dessert so ordered an apple turnover with ice cream. Unfortunately the apple turnover was still frozen, server kindly removed it from my bill. I might not order dessert, but will definitely come back for the food.

    I love coming here for takeout and dine-in! It's a great alternative to waiting in long lines at the oyster bars in the casinos. They also run great weekday specials and happy hour deals. I've tried the pan roast, gumbo, and the étouffée, and all of them were fantastic. The service has always been courteous, and there's plenty of parking, which is a big plus. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. This spot feels like one of those local Las Vegas secrets!

    Excellent restaurant good size menu many options. Good size portions, reasonable prices highly recommended. I would come back again, A+.

    PK bouill-pan. Great choice.
    Tony Y.

    This location is off of the strip, which is a good thing to avoid expensive property prices. This location looks very obscure from the outside and was very intimidating to walk in. But once you walk in, it turns into a different location, like a real restaurant. We ordered several dishes The combo pan roast Rich, thick and flavorful. Comes with rice and if you want to add a dinner roll, it is an additional 50 cents for 1 dinner roll. Come on... The PK bouill-pan This comes with seafood in the pan roast. It isn't as thick as the original pan, but the flavor is still great. Is it comparable to the other popular place? Yes, and it is definitely a must try. We also ordered the steamed mussels. What i did wish was for the establishment to pay particular attention to the mussels. I had to remove debris from mine and another mussel had a small crab. Great service, very clean on the inside, odd on the outside with a scary entrance, but come on in.

    We had fun with Alex Great server

Only complaint is they haven't updated their menu. It would be helpful if their menu was current because this menu was very limited. They didn't have dessert. We were told no a lot on things we asked for. To me, that's bad. The staff was great and the service was good but I probably won't be back.

Our waitress was super friendly and really encouraged us to try some things because we really weren't sure about the menu. She was super attentive and we really appreciated that. The reason I'm giving this a three star review (and I feel bad doing so) is because I genuinely hated the drinks. Like viscerally hated. The menu really was a struggle as someone who's a gin drinker. There wasn't a lot on the menu which I'm often used to, but the drinks were either cloyingly sweet or incredibly tart and bitter. There seems to lack of balance and there were a lot of really weird flavors that really didn't seem to go together. Now I can't speak on every single drink on the menu, but I did try a couple that are either premixed or on tap and I really struggled with them. I was excited about the ginger drink, and I was given a taste of their homemade ginger beer, and it felt like it was going to burn a hole through my stomach. Which is typically not my reaction to anything gender flavored. I just think the balance of flavors are not quite right and so certain things overpowered other flavors. I ended up really not wanting anything on the menu because everything was so rum based and I really don't like rum, so they offered to make me a cocktail with some flavors that I liked. They told me they had passionfruit, which I was really excited about. It usually is a really nice combination of sweet but not too sweet and good fruity flavor. I had a passionfruit gin drink made, and it was absolutely gorgeous coming out. Unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the passionfruit that they have is on the very sour and tart side (contained by a staff member later), which has never been my experience with passionfruit in the past. One of the things that I told the waitress was that I really don't like sour. I like citrus but not something that is so overly sour that it tastes like I'm eating a warhead. And the drink that was made for me had both lemon and this really tart passionfruit to the point all I could taste was this awful sour flavor. I felt bad and drank it and was not about to ask it off the bill because they were so kind about everything. The drink ended up only being nine dollars and I genuinely wonder if they undercharged me, but I felt a lot better that that's all I paid for it. Aesthetically it was beautiful, but it tasted horrible. I tried my friends drink, which was a play on a margarita with Mezcal, and that was also incredibly bitter and sour. I'm not someone who needs disgustingly sweet drinks, hence me not liking rum, but I do need a balance of sweetness with the other flavors. My friend thought her drink was OK, but she said she wouldn't order it again. I would definitely give this location another shot if I could figure out a drink that would work, but it seems their drinks either are very sour or very sweet and I'm hoping that at some point they will be able to find a good balance between the two.

    My absolute favorite bar of all time! 1000000000000000/10!!!…read more I could live at Dark Sister!!! It is my go to place to hang out with the girls on a night out! If I am in the arts district, I am at Dark Sister (if they're open... sometimes I'm there in the day and they are not open yet and I am sad. lol) It's moody, it's witchy, it's got all the Goth eclectic goodness! I love how it is decorated!!! It's giving dark academia, mixed with a séances, sprinkle in a little bit of dried flowers and top it with a tarot card. They have such a variety of seating, they have large loungey couches in the front, smaller couches with chairs and tables as you go inside, long and larger tables for larger groups in the back, a massive bar area with seating, as well as a gorgeous patio with bar seating as well as tables and loungey bench areas. It is comfy, cozy, and an amazing place to just chill and hang out. The music is always perfect. The lighting is the perfect dark dim. I have never felt more at home somewhere in my life. It is my happy place. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. If I go there it makes me happy! I absolutely love that they have a mocktail menu and that they rotate the drinks every season. I don't drink and also a lot of my friends don't either and their mocktail menu is a winner every single time, I've never had a drink there that I did not enjoy. Honestly, I would love if they had more mocktail options than they already do. I'm really glad that they added snacks!! Their snack tray is amazing I get it almost every time I'm there. The only thing I would like is for there to be more variety of snacks! I do love the chocolate covered espresso beans but somehow, I am the one that ends up finishing them and then I don't sleep... which is definitely a me problem but like... they're addictive man... we need something else chocolate, like, of course keep the chocolate covered espresso beans, but like maybe chocolate covered raisins or chocolate covered berries? If you guys added a charcuterie board... take our money!!! My friends, and I would never leave, Take all our money!! Like a witchy charcuterie board!! I absolutely love that they have an outdoor patio now!!! It is stunning! Being witchy in the fall is going to be amazing there!!! I've been going there since they opened and from the moment I walked in I was in love. I have watched as this bar has continued to grow, and it only gets better with age. I adore the staff, they are so sweet! They have always been nothing but kind and caring. If something is going down outside, they are locking us in and keeping us safe. I was there one time when there was a shooting going on outside and they immediately locked the doors until it was safe for us to leave. I appreciate how much they take safety seriously! I really love that every single time I go there it seems that they have added something new to make it an even more fun experience! They have a lot of really awesome places to take photos! Definitely cute place to have a girly witchy photo shoot! They do a lot of of events and classes, I haven't been able to go down for one of their events/classes yet, but I'm really dying to go take one of the crafty witchy classes! I love that they're not only a bar, but they're also trying to build community! Dark Sister is absolutely perfect. PERFECT. It is all I have ever wanted and more in a space. I will continue being a happy loyal customer for as long as we both shall live. Thank you, Dark Sister for existing... and making my life complete.

The outside patio was covered and had a 2nd bar out there which was very nice. Once we sat down, someone came over to let us know to order at the bar. Once we ordered, we got our drinks very quickly. I can't remember what I got, but 1 of my friends got the spicy drink that comes in a skull glass with 2 peppers to look like horns, loved the presentation! We had great service from the hostess to the bartender! There was a place across the way playing live music, so that was nice in the space. Not sure if we could hear music out there without it. I thought the prices were pretty average for a bar downtown. We also gave the photo booth a try inside and came away with 2 great strips. Great place to stop in for a drink!

    Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like you have been transported into an underwater, tropical adventure somewhere between a Hawaiian island, a pirate ship, and an old school Vegas attraction. The decor is completely over the top in the best possible way: bamboo and thatch, carved tikis, glowing portholes, tropical artifacts, hidden details, and an artificial night sky that makes the whole space feel like its own little world. Every corner gives you something new to look at, so it is easy to understand why people come here as much for the atmosphere as for the cocktails. The Golden Tiki opened in 2015 in the former Little Macau space and was designed as a tribute to classic mid century tiki bars, with an especially theatrical, Vegas style twist. Its elaborate interior includes work from tiki artists and features a playful fictional pirate legend centered on Captain William Tobias Faulkner and the mysterious Golden Tiki. That sense of storytelling comes through everywhere in the bar's design. The service was fun, welcoming, and matched the lively energy of the room. Even with the place being busy, the experience felt upbeat rather than stressful. And the cocktails were excellent, tropical, creative, and exactly what you want in a serious tiki bar. If you are looking for a typical quiet cocktail lounge, this probably is not it. But if you want strong drinks, friendly service, and one of the most visually memorable bars in Las Vegas, The Golden Tiki is absolutely worth visiting. It is the kind of place that makes a regular Tuesday night feel like a mini vacation.

I feel like this place can be easily missed since the building is all black, but definitely worth stopping in for. Vibes are very dark and intimate, yet lively. I am not sure how to explain it, but I liked it. Lol Somehow you can make a reservation, but I haven't looked into it. There were a bunch of seating against the wall on the couches but they were all reserved. My friend and I ended up at the bar in the "standing room" which was fine! Their seasonal menu is Conspiracy Theory based. I from that menu and my drink was called the Moon Landing Hoax, which was recommended to me but pretty strong in my opinion. I will say that the aesthetic of the drink was super cool with the astronaut. My friend ordered from their regular menu. She enjoyed her Repo Espresso Martini and she would order that again!

We were sat at a super cute table (there were 4 of us) and looked through the menu. The decor was super cute! Sort of old vintage looking couches around some tables, dim lighting, I loved the vibe. We each ordered something different from their cocktail menu from our very nice server. While waiting for those, our friend went to close out the tab and ordered shots, but asked for something that would be good. They proceeded to give us something with muddled strawberries, I was blown away at how good it was! Best shot I have ever had, so fresh. I love when you give bartenders freedom to play and create something so good! Our cocktails were so interesting and very tasty. I'd love to come back when we have some more time and try some of the other drinks. Everything about this place was amazing to me! Vibe, staff, the drinks, I had a great time!
