    01/10/2026 here for the show! Sheila. Me, Carol, Lisa & Laurie
    Gina C.

    Finally I had a night off to come check this bar out that my friend's have talked so highly of. We came on 01/10/2026 to see Sheila perform & the place was packed! She is well loved. My friend had a table reserved for us, thank God cause I would have hated to had to stand all night. Our 2 other friends showed up late so once they came to the table (high top) it was a little crowded when you all want to eat & have drinks. Our waiter was Hunter. I know it was busy but the service wasn't the best. He forgot to bring me another drink that I ordered so my friend grabbed one at the bar for me. He also forgot to send out a large side of honey mustard sauce so I had to bug him for another one & then he forgot to order my onion rings. I did get those for free without even asking, thank you for that! We had to ask for our bill when we were ready to leave. He was able to give us separate checks which was nice. My friend said service is usually better with Hunter so I'll blame it on it being very busy. I got the chicken tenders which were sooooooo yummy! They came out HOT, had a nice, thin crispy coating to them & the chicken was very moist. It was served with fries which were very tasty too. The honey mustard sauce was very thin & I would have preferred it to be a little thick but it did the job. My friend had steak quesadilla & shared one with me. It wasn't bad & the meat wasn't dried out but I did get a couple of fat pieces in my bites that I had to set aside. Another friend got shrimp & let me try a piece. It wasn't bad but I would of liked a sauce to go with it & it was fishy smelling. The onion rings had absolutely no taste to them & the onions tasted watery. I wouldn't order these again. I'd love to try the Mac & cheese but you can't get a side of it & I didn't need two dinners...lol There were a lot of elderly people in the crowd & my friend did tell me that we would probably be the youngest ones in there which we actually weren't but it was nice to see the old folks get out of the house & enjoy themselves. Shelia put on a great performance & even had a guy come up (with mustache) who had an AMAZING voice, another older male & female who all sang with her. She changed her outfits a couple of times & even came around to say hi & thank the crowd. I'd definitely come back here & would love to check out their happy hour and have some more chicken tenders...writing this review has me craving them! lol Parking lot is small but it's in a shopping plaza with other stores. My friends had to park a little ways away from this bar.

    Absolutely love that I can get a hot fudge Sundae. Always a great time at the phoenix.

    Buttered shrimp and caesar's salad (half portion)

    Nice friendly staff every time. Smoke free environment. Decent lighting. decent drink values. Top notch food. Hide buttered shrimp. Fresh green salads and caesar's dressing. pizzas and bar food too at good quality. Saturday and Sunday morning brunches for a steal of a good price.

    The PERFECT "slightly dirty" Ketle One Martini with a side of the most delicious Bleu cheese crumbles you've ever tasted!

    My absolute favorite Happy Hour bar in Las Vegas! Not only do they make the best Martini in Sin City, but how do you beat 2 for 1? Best bartenders too, Dalton, Hunter and Christian ALWAYS make the best cocktails and ensure my visit is awesome!!! Love these guys!

    Happy hour Daily 12pm-6pm, 50%off. $10 Taco-Naut (salmon wonton) is my fav! ($5 during HH?)
    Diana W.

    A place for everyone. Happy hour Daily 12pm-6pm, 50%off. $10 Taco-Naut (salmon wonton) is my fav!!!! (Its $5 during HH). Great weekday evening chill dive bar with lots of events and themes all the time. And they have food!! Local watering hole so there's always little to lots of people hanging out here. Friendly environment and friendly bartenders (Shannon and Christian are the best!!). They'll make you feel like home here. They have an event almost everyday day... burlesque shows, karaoke, etc. Also they are themed up all the time so it's always festivitive in a way. There's a small outdoor area for some air, or smoking. Been coming for Burner Mondays. Super late review thats been well over due. I've only visited Monday's. Theres usually at least 4-6pm before 6pm, then maybe 25+more ppl after 6pm. 2x Mondays out of the month will be burlesque Mondays with a host, and then. DJ dance party after.

    Bar was u shaped with poker machines

    Met a group of people here for a celebration of life for the loss of a family member. The placed was jammed packed at 6pm because of some drag for charity event and it just got busier as the night went on. It's an upbeat, fun place with a totally diverse crowd. Parking is a little tough. Not many places to park. Plus they have signs when you walk in saying not to leave valuables in the car. Pretty sketchy area. I definitely recommend ride share. Service was descent however they charged a different price for the same drink order 3 times. When I ordered a beer and a Tito's soda it was $16. My husband went back (same bartender) $15. Then he went to another bartender $14. Still cheap for a bar in Vegas but keep it consistent.

    1st time in "drag" makeup
    Peter ..

    After coming out in December after 35 years, I went The Phoenix. I had been in before while closeted but I kept to myself. I met Anothony and the other bartenders. They made me feel very comfortable as I gambled, socialized and played pool. I love this bar!

    Lilly L.

    This place is awesome! Love the crowd. The venue is spacious and comfy. They have a section for games. Service is excellent and attentive. They have happy hour daily from 12 PM - 6 PM. Food is excellent. Drag show is fun! Highly recommended!

    Is it a smoking establishment?

    They have an outside patio for smoking. Inside only vaping is allowed.

    I’m an older bi man that just moved to Vegas. Is this a good place to stop by for lunch and a drink or two without feeling out of place? Maybe a chance to meet some new friends? Thanks…

    Yes as long as you try to talk to people and be friendly you can definitely meet new friends, and I find most people that come here to be pleasant, I've personally have never come for lunch but I definitely recommend coming for Karaoke night which… 

    I'm gonna be visiting LV by myself for just a couple of days and just want a chill bar where I feel kinda welcomed. Is this the place?

    It is an AWESOME bar and I find everybody to be kind and welcoming (employees and patrons). I moved here 3 years ago and the very first time I went it felt like I was part of the group. Just put yourself out there, and people will respond. Great… 

    Do they have specific women or men nights? Also, where can I find their schedule of events? Facebook not updated and no website.

    They don't really have men's or women's nights. Everybody is welcome, every day.

    Are there drag shows at this bar?

    Absolutely. You may want to call to find out when, but YES absolutely there are!!!!! Lots of fun.

    Are there still Game of Thrones viewing parties here?

    Every Sunday at 8pm.

    Is this really a lesbian bar? If so, what's with the drag shows and almost naked male waiters?

    The Phoenix is a very inclusive Bar with LGBTQ(xyz) Patrons, if you are specifically looking for a Lesbian bar, try Flex Cocktail Lounge where Wednesdays is Lesbian Night

    I'm a wine drinker, any Italian wines available? Even a Pinot Grigio will do! ;)

    Yes. Brand name Barefoot.

    Does the rooms have a string cigarette smell?

    No not at all. I am not a fan of that smell so I would have noticed right away.

    Is this a place that I can meet and enjoy a mature transgendered Man to women escort. Thanks?

    This is probably the most inclusive LGBTQA bar in Las Vega$$. If it's gonna happen anywhere, it'll probably happen here.

    So I'm only 19, would I be able to go here or do I need to be 21?

    Hi, we are 21+ only.

    I'm alarge man searching for a hook up, what are my chances?

    A man at a lesbian bar does not have very good odds.

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.

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 our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!
