    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!! We love dive bars, sports bars and video poker so this place was right up our alley! 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! 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! The regulars were nice and the beer and shots are ice cold. What are you waiting for??

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

    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. The place itself? Spotless. You can tell they care about cleanliness, the menus were actually clean (I love when a restaurant gets it). The vibe is hole in the wall, relaxed, and the staff was genuinely friendly and on top of everything. 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.

    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!

    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!

    Love this happy hour + live music! What a fun local hangout. Great happy hour specials, awesome service, cool vibe with live music (starting around 8pm) and no cover! Even regular (non-happy hour) pricing is very reasonable for great quality food & drinks. Newly renovated, spacious, great pool tables, nice clean bathrooms. Appears to have plenty of free parking in their lot, at least if you arrive early (like before 7pm on a Saturday). Perfect spot for a casual after-work hangout, catch a game, meet up with friends... Will be back for sure!

    For my first "meal" in Vegas, my foodie friend and I split from our group and walked over to this…read moresmall bar area in the Grand Bazaar. 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.

It's hard to find something that fits all those requirements on the Strip. They sell loaded hot dogs, fries, and cocktails. My favorites are the elote dog and DUI fries, and their cocktails are some of the best value for price. The Strip location is specifically outdoors and there's a decent amount of seating, but they can fill up quickly when it's busy. There's also a location inside the Showcase Mall if you'd prefer to sit indoors. I may be biased because I also love hot dogs, but I will definitely be back for more.

Whatever, I guess they just couldn't wait and had zero patience. Luckily, I was in my top notch behavior or else, it could've been ugly.

(I tried but it's not for me) Hoever, husband is much braver than me. He lived all of them. I was good with my carne asada tacos and the Al Pastor burrito. Their salsa is the bomb! It was smoky and well seasoned. The horchata drink was also delicious and comforting after a couple of spicy bites. There was a live band as well it they got rained on(literally) they left right away . It was quick and very satisfying. The amount of food was a lot and they make sure ppl are happy with the portions. I recommend this place because it is non pretentious and oh so realistic to the culture. Don't miss this one in Las Vegas on Las Vegas blvd close to Circus Circus and Ross. You can't miss it. I forgot to take pictures because we just went for it and devoured everything in a few minutes. Seats are very limited though but ppl seem to eat very very fast. Haha It's a good place to bring your family and even the children were raving about it. Again, you're welcome! Viva Las Vegas!
