    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)
    Thomas B.

    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.

The staff and entertainers are incredibly accommodating, welcoming, and genuinely determined to make sure everyone has an amazing night. The Food & Drinks: We tried the Korean sticky wings with fries, and they were perfectly spicy and delicious. The drinks were fantastic, too--I highly suggest both the Cosmopolitan and the Espresso Martini. They also feature a ton of signature drinks, some of which come in fun collectible cups. The Entertainment: The absolute star of the show is the amazing drag performances. The entertainers brilliantly work the room, interact with the crowd, and put on show-stopping numbers. Because the music spans across different eras and genres, there is truly a performance for everyone. As a fun bonus, anyone celebrating a birthday is invited up on stage for a special toast. Plus, you get the opportunity to have your photo taken with the queens after the show, which I can't recommend enough!

Feel free to try their dance floor before the show. The dinner menu had enough for everyone who likes plain ol' good-tasting American food. Consider earplugs if you value your hearing. Terrific staff (yes, you, Benny!). Tons of parking. Be sure to arrive just after 7 pm with VIP tickets to get the best seats. The show starts at 8 pm. Yes, you get to take a group photo with the actresses (actors!) at the end of the show.

I had a blast, even though the front bar was really the only section open on a Wednesday night. I arrived around 10:45pm and there was no cover.

The overall vibe is one of its strongest qualities -- lively, inclusive, and perfect for a night out in Las Vegas. The entertainment is a standout.

It adds a level of excitement and credibility to the shows that really sets the venue apart.

Located directly next door to FLEX, FHR offers more a rustic vibe, very leather/levi bar welcome of all. They have great bear nights, support local on goings like Las Vegas Pride, Smokeout Las Vegas and numerous others.
