    Triple dipper
    Alan H.

    We live close in Salt Lake City, so we are in Vegas a number of times a year. We frequent the bar across the street but on this particular day that bar was closed for a private event, so for shits we decided to check out The Bonfire and we are so glad we did!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love dive bars, sports bars and video poker so this place was right up our alley![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We love the online player's club so you don't need to bring a card every time and can just log in for points! And our bartender - Danielle - what an awesome, fun person and made our visits so much fun! We are now "besties" and can't wait to come back for the VP, and fun vibes and food! OMG, the food! We ordered their triple dipper with fresh made chips and the birria tacos... Absolutely amazing. So good that we came back the next day and got the same thing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you are in the area and are looking for a fun, friendly sports bar with cool vibes, great bartenders and tasty food, this is your spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The regulars were nice and the beer and shots are ice cold. What are you waiting for??

    Carne Asada tacos.

    Bonfire is a hidden gem worth every bite From the outside, you'd never guess what's waiting inside Bonfire, but once you step in...wow! We started with the Chips & Dip Trio, and let me just say: best chips and dips I've ever had, and I've eaten at some pretty high-end places, too. The chips were hot, crispy, and clearly just fried, none of that stale, bagged nonsense. The cheddar cheese dip was ooey, gooey perfection, the guacamole was bright, chunky, and fresh with big pieces of avocado, and the salsa hit that perfect balance of spice and tang without being overpowering. Then came the tacos, Birria and Carne Asada. The birria meat was tender and rich, the shell lightly crisped and not greasy at all. The carne asada tacos were loaded and seasoned just right. Jeff ordered the Smoke Show cocktail, and it lived up to the name, the cloud of smoke when he lifted the lid was impressive. You could smell the smoke but didn't taste it, just a smooth, well-balanced drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself? Spotless. You can tell they care about cleanliness, the menus were actually clean (I love when a restaurant gets it).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is hole in the wall, relaxed, and the staff was genuinely friendly and on top of everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't let the humble exterior fool you...Bonfire is the real deal. Exceptional food, great service, and attention to every detail. Absolute must-try.

    The Bonfire has some of the best staff. Attentive and fun! They have great food and great times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Come check them out when they have an open mic or one of there numerous events, like live bands.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] DESTINY was lovely and was very professional during our time at the establishment. Big butt too haha!!

    Came for battle of the bands on Wednesday night and we enjoyed the vibe of the place. We started the night off with a midori sour and Modelo, took a seat, then waited for the bands to come on. The midori and Modelo were great. The waitress came by and asked if we wanted to order anything more and my husband ordered a budweiser and I asked for water. I saw other customers with cups of tap water and assumed this was what I was ordering. The waitress took our card, charged it, then brought back two water bottles. I let her know that I wanted cups of water like the customers at the table in front of us had and she stated that "after the bands come on we don't give out water in cups." What does that even mean and what would the reason for this be?? I found this very odd and wished she would have either brought the bottles of water before taking our card or let us know it would be water bottles. We ended up paying $3 per bottle of water that we will probably just end up taking home. It's not a huge deal obviously, but it's pretty annoying since I would have just went and got my water in the car if I knew we would be charged for water bottles instead of just being given tap like most bars do. We were going to order food as well but decided against it after this occurrence.

    Early dinner - we beat the Sat night crowd lol! Two biker dudes opened this bar in May, just a few months ago and the reviews are SPOT ON! Rosie the bar manager was very cool - let us know this 24 hour restaurant has events 7 days a week and usually starts to get busy after 8:00 pm. Reservations accepted but not necessary. Plenty of free parking! Rosie mentions Thursday & Sunday nights sound like the best times to visit. Thursday nights with their house band Velvet Moon. Sunday's are great for Brown's games and Line Dancing. See the website for other events throughout the week. We ordered the Steak Sandwich and The Bonfire Burger. Both were delicious but let me tell you about that Steak Sandwich. Came toasted on sourdough bread but what they don't mention on the menu is there is some sort of MAGICAL BONFIRE SECRET SAUCE on it that will have you thinking whaaaaat is THIS?! 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a place to have dinner before attending the Brad Garret Comedy Club, Brown's fans, bikers, first dates, and musical professionals looking for a place to chill after hours. Looking forward to coming back again someday!

    Green Tea shots

    Dee is a baddie and a sweetheart! She makes a bomb drink and keeps the vibes right. Great service, great energy, and she really knows how to take care of her guests. If you come through, make sure Dee is your bartender!

    Drinks, discounted on happy hour!

I have given them three tries... the chicken always seems dry BUT the pastor and asada are always good. I love he pink corn tortillas and their salsas are really good. THREE STARS are for our service this evening on Tuesday, June 2. We sat at the bar at first waiting on friends. Then we moved over to a table. When our drinks were ready, we were told we needed to come up and get them from the bar. Then we had to go back to the Bar area, stand and wait in order to place an order for food . Again, when the food was ready, we needed to go back to the counter and get it. The lady's working refused to bring anything out to our table. We were never even offered water. Let's keep in mind our party of four were the only ones there for 90% of our time there between 5-6:45 pm, And one of our biggest reasons for coming in this evening was for two for Tuesday buy one get one free drinks. Yet when the girl was checking us out she said she knew nothing about that and that it was only for mimosas. Then refused to give us any discount. We've been here multiple times on a Tuesday and were given the bogo option for our beers and margaritas. Very disappointed tonight!

There's a small kitchen area where the menu is and where you place your order. Cooks are viciously making the orders that others are placing, and you can hear the constant sizzling of hot dogs on their grills. They have bar seating on the other side along with a bunch of tables close by but they were all taken since it was prime dinner time at 7:30pm on The Strip and people were walking all around the area. We decided to eat over at a nearby taco joint in the end. Both of us got their D.U.I. Dog, which has pastrami, carne asada, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, a ton of cilantro and chipotle aioli (a mayonnaise kind of sauce). Very packed with flavor with all the meats inside, and the cheese melts so well inside the hot dog. They even put this inside a relatively big carton container, the same kind I've seen the staff put their D.U.I. Fries in... holy crap those are some huge portions! For $18 before tax though, this hot dog was already slightly massive for its size, at just about a foot long. Very nice start to a great time in Vegas! Also a great hot dog stand with immensely tasty dogs.

    Was craving some late night tacos, so a friend recommended this spot for me to try…read more The Food: I had the Lengua, Al Pastor and Cabeza tacos. All of them were amazing. Authentic as it can be, full of flavor and tender pieces of meat. And, they were generously packed with portions of onions/cilantro/limes for you to top off. All at a pretty cheap price. The Service: Service was good. Order outside at the front window of the building. Staff were nice and food came out within a reasonable amount of time. The Atmosphere: Plenty of outdoor or indoor seating around. They have some nice music playing at all times, so it makes for just a chill spot to come hang with friends and eat some good food. Overall, a 5/5. Tacos are authentic and flavorful. All around a great experience here. Would highly recommend.

    Decided to try this place based upon a recommendation from a local working at the mini mart next…read moredoor. Asked if they were better than Tacos El Gordo on Sunset and he said yes they are. We waited about 15 minutes in line to place our order Hubby ordered lengua, buche, tripa, and cabeza tacos and the pork huaraches. I ordered a chorizo mulitas. and then we sat in the building and waited for our food to be delivered to us. It was a warm Fri evening and outside they had music playing with a virtual DJ. Once they delivered our food we asked for 2 cups of ice water and they said they could bring it to us. They were $1 for each cup. Three first thing my hubby said was the tacos looked plain as we are used to sauce being on them at the other place. However, we did get green sauce and he had a side of onions and cilantro to put on them. We also had lime slices and radishes. The radishes were sliced thin and we dried out. No juice in them and they tasted bland. My hubby said the meat flavors of his tacos were good. Meat was tender and they have you a good amount. However, he was upset as the edges of the tortillas were very tough and hard. The tortillas were dry tasting as well. One of his tacos the tortilla was rock hard. He had to remove the edges when eating the taco as it ruined the tacos. The huaraches was very flavorful and he really liked it. The tortilla was cooked much better and not hard and dry like the tacos were. My chorizo was very flavorful and not overly greasy. The tortillas were cooked properly and the cheese was melted well. I did enjoy it but it was different than the other guys, but I would get another one if we were eating there again. The place was very busy and the staff were friendly. The place was super clean, but they really need more restrooms. They have one of each gender inside and it's a one person only restroom. There was a consistent line and the female worker used the male restroom. Later the men were using the women's due to the line. The place has plenty of seating and the cars wrap around the building and into the street for the drive-thru. My hubby will probably not return as he said those tacos were disappointing and not worth the price. I would maybe return but for the mulita only and if I'm there and too lazy to drive elsewhere or if it's too late in the night to go elsewhere. For us personally, they were not the best tacos in Vegas and not worth the wait.
