    Charleston Bar

    Cool spot. Service is always quick and ambiance is fair depending on the day, there is no food service, however. There is karaoke on select nights.

    Ask for Jamie's Espress Martini... best in town! Rian pours amazing whiskey. Make them work for it- they can do anything!

    Wanted to update my review since my last one. Still a great bar. Located downtown where all the fun happens. Been coming to see the bartender, Melissa. She is so fun! Cold drinks, hot machines. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends.

    Great place to get drinks! A local spot for getting a great drink by awesome bartenders.. operated and ran by a Vegas local who knows the industry inside and out! Beer, pool, shuffle board and awesome music... what more do you want.. classic Downtown Vegas Bar!

I think I didn't take more than $200 for the entire trip. I typically only bet on sports back then. I was beckoned by the 50¢ beers and the tasty 1/4 pound all beef hot dog here. I still get these to this day. So I remember having only about $15 in my wallet and about $60 in the bank. And I needed to ensure I had money for gas to make it back home. After 2- 50¢ beers and playing video poker down to my last 75¢, I hit a Royal Flush which does not trigger the bonus without max bet....which would have been $1000 if I had played $1.25.. But I didn't have $1.25. I was down to my last 75¢. Nonetheless it was still a jackpot to me even though it was $187.50! Almost enough for my truck payment at the time. This made the trip totally worth it after getting beat down on sports betting. The beers are still $2-3 and shots of Patron are $7. By far the cheapest place to get your buzz started, and right on the center of the strip behind Flamingo hotel and casino. The store on the backside is among the cheapest as well to buy jugs of water, single beers and snacks. It is a dive bar/casino and I feel absolutely comfortable here. Heavy security at the entrance and they ask you if you're going to the store or the casino. Though anything you buy you must leave at the door. It's a tiny casino with maybe a total of 25 slot and video poker machines. I will say, if you are looking for ambience or nice decor don't bother coming here.

Guy who checked our IDs let us know this place is like walking into a Midwestern basement and that they serve beers only. I thought this was so helpful because imagine walking in and thinking they served cocktails only to realize it was beer only. When we walked in it did look like you walked into a basement. Lol The place is very retro and I loved the beer cans on the wall. They have a photo booth located in the back right corner for $5 for 2 strips. Honestly, this place was cool but only downside was I felt like it had dead air. I was sweating in there, but the vibe did overpower my only complaint. Service was good. We sat at the bar and were helped right away. I looked through their menu and settled on a fruit beer while my friend had a stout. Trust, there's something for everyone whether you love or like beer. I saw that they served food but my friend and I just came for drinks. I definitely recommend checking this place out. Very cool area and the selection of beers is great.

They had live music on Saturday nights that starts right at 10p. After we got our IDs checked, we walked in and were immediately overwhelmed. It was very loud, very busy, and looked like your typical dive bar, which was cool. There were no seats in the front of the bar, at the bar, or even the tables in the back. After ordering our pizza, we finally found seats to eat near the pool tables in the back. We ordered the Champagne & Reefer, which is their supreme pizza. We were hungry so this pizza hit the spot. To be completely honest, I think my friend and I did not enjoy this place because I think we were the youngest at this bar. Everyone around us seemed to be having a great time and we were happy for them. We were slightly overwhelmed and felt like we needed a bar menu. We ended up just skipping alcohol all together at this place. I might want to try this place again with a bigger group of people. I see that they have a beer list online so I'll definitely look at that the next time I stop in.

Found this spot through yelp and immediately had to go. Off the beaten path and in a corner hotel. I parked in back and went in. Clean space, plenty of seating. They had a live band. We ordered our drinks and nabbed a table. Great band. Played a mix of hits. We then saw the sign for the pizza. Now the pizza was amazing. They had an oven. The only downside is that it did take awhile. I would definitely come back.

The service is top notch, the ladies are wonderful even when they are intentionally projecting insults at you with the megaphone. You will get a good laugh. The bartenders dance on the bar top every hour so make sure you get your crap off the bar when they do! Ask for a water or get cocky and you might be wearing the water instead of drinking it. I've been sprayed with the water gun a time or two. Haha! If it's your first time I recommend asking for a "hog piss" shot. They are only $3 at the time of writing this and actually pretty tasty. Don't forget to buy your bartender one as well! The security staff was very professional and they do check IDs. They were on top of everything very discretely without disruption. Shout out to Nathan! Great guy! I had some guy starting an altercation with me thinking my beer was his. The security team noticed the interaction and immediately redirected him without further escalation. This was my first time to the new location and I stayed at the Plaza Hotel just so I was close to my favorite bar. This bar is also very lady friendly, not just for the guys. I see wedding parties come in all the time. Everyone has a blast! Only complaints I had about this location was you had to walk through the casino to use the restroom and then come back. Also the bartenders have to tame it down a bit from their previous location since it's located in a casino. Also if you are easily offended from profanity or crude comments then this isn't the place for you. I personally love it. This is a temporary location and I can't wait for the opening of their new permanent location. I had a great time as always and will be back as always! I highly recommend going to Hogs if you have not been. You will not be disappointed. Don't forget to tip your bartenders! To the Plaza Hotel...Good move allowing Hogs to be part of your establishment. That was the only reason I stayed at the Plaza during my stay and also enjoyed your hotel. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again to the Hogs and Heifers Family for always making us feel part of the family and not just a fixture. See ya soon!
