    Cool Decor
    Anne T.

    We love this place! The live bands are always good and fun. The atmosphere is great. Lighting is perfect. Bartenders are always kind and helpful. You don't have to be dressed up here. Casual night out. Good size dance floor. The pizza is AMAZING. Can't leave without the pizza.

    String drinks and a local vibe with legit musicians and skilled bartenders.  Never judge a book by its .  It's Vegas.

    The locals lounge. IYKYK. Live bands every night of the week and professionally mixed drinks.

    Came here for the Christmas popup and it was a great time! Arrived around 10pm on Christmas night and this place was pretty busy. Good prices for drinks! We also got to take our naughty and nice shot glasses home which was a great perk. They had pizza on site, a dj, and overall a positive crowd. I'd be curious to see what it's like when a pop up isn't on.

    Great, festive bar to celebrate the holidays at! The ambiance definitely gets a 5/5. They decorate every inch of this bar and it makes for great photos. The service was not bad, we went during peak hours on a Saturday so it was expected to be busy, but the bartenders kept the lines moving. The pizzas were delicious but the drinks were just ok for the price. Our group felt that our drinks were watered down a bit. I wasn't in love with the spiked hot cocoa, it was hard to drink once it cooled off. Although, I'd still come back and try other items on the menu. This bar will keep your ID when you order a seasonal drink in a special mug. You need to return the mug to get your ID back. It's a neat system except for when you'd like to keep your ID and don't want a fancy cup. They make exceptions sometimes, but not when we asked. Overall, a cute festive bar and I'm glad we tried it out.

    I stopped by Sand Dollar for the Christmas pop up after being disappointed by a different Christmas pop up bar. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the smell of the pizza. I wish I had an appetite because from what I could see of others orders, it looked really good. The bar was decorated to theme and was very spacious. Even offered an outdoor bar and seating area. The drinks we ordered came in really cute cups that were on theme of Christmas. My friend and I both thought the drinks taste better than the previous bar but weren't great. As time went on, the bar got progressively busier but never felt overcrowded. There were maybe 20 chairs around the bar and some table seating options but I do with there was more seating available inside since the space was so large. I would be willing to give the bar another chance but order something different.

    Came here with a friend to soak up the holiday atmosphere, and the space was incredibly festive. The Christmas decor was super cute throughout the bar, and even extended into the outdoor area. The mugs our drinks were served in were adorable and added a nice touch to the experience. I wasn't crazy about my drink personally, but the service was good and the place is spacious with plenty of seating.There were singers and a DJ (outside the main building; in the tent in the outdoor area). It's a great spot to enjoy Christmas decor, music, and a nice holiday vibe.

    A sandollar for your thoughts said Poseidon. The vibes are fun and music is on spot. The pizza is submerged in flavor. "They say sandollars are coins lost by mermaids at sea, once found they bring good luck indefinitely"

    Sand dollar during the holidays is crazy busy. Came one Friday night for during December and it was wild. Line for mixed drinks was about a 15 minute wait and luckily was able to get a table. The pizza was ok. I remember tasting better. We ordered 3 of their pies and they were all ok. Shout out to all the staff, specially to Kevin who I stoped for a second to ask a question while he was running up and down that place getting product for the bar. He took his time to explain me their menu and answered all the questions my group had.

    Sometimes u crave corned beef hash or filet mignon. This is one such place corned beef hash kinda place. And it's perfect for what it is. I don't even know if I'd call it a dive bar--feels like this place is older than the term itself. More like an OG "been there, drank that, bought the T-shirt" kinda situation. It's so old school they don't even have a bouncer--probably because they already know the average customer age is 40... maybe 39 if it's someone's birthday and their niece brought friends. Now before I got here, I was over at the ultra-swanky "Wax Rabbit" at the Durango Casino--a luxe speakeasy hidden inside a Mexican restaurant. Talib Kweli was DJing, the crowd was cute and cooler than thou, and everyone looked like they just walked off a runway. Including me--because one thing imma always do is serve a look. So when the party migrated here afterward... Ya girl was--how do I say this politely--CONFUSED AF. This is the kind of seedy-looking, dimly-lit spot you only see on TV, where the bartender keeps a shotgun under the bar and knows how to use it. The kind of place your parents go to and only invite you to when you turn 35 and they think you've finally earned your grown-up card. It's got everything you need: Live bands that change nightly to keep the vibes fresh. Chairs, tables, and two big couches with coffee tables--premium view of the stage, ideal for vibing or judging quietly. A center bar that's clearly been through some things but still standing tall. Pool tables for you to either win with pride or lose with excuses. Now let me tell you--I fully expected to feel outta place walking in. Our crew? All under 45, all people of color. My Black a$$ was ready to do a U-turn. But I couldn't have been more wrong. It was rainbow city up in there--folks of all kinds, just vibin'. And people were actually dancing... rhythm? Minimal. Pizzazz? Barely there. But the effort? Top tier. One off-beat couple was 5-6-7-8'ing like it was their final callback. And this older lady--apparently a local fixture--was two-stepping around the stage like it was her own personal Soul Train. And chilllle when i say she was giving shhooulders!!!! This place is definitely a "come as you are" kind of vibe--which is rare and appreciated in the glammed-up thirst trap that can be Vegas nightlife. Now me? I like to be in bed by 10:30, lights out by 11. So by the time we pulled up around 1:30am, I was already locked in a full-on battle with the Sandman, who was whispering sweet bedtime lies. But my friends? WIDE awake. Ordering pizza (which they sau is incredibly gooood) Telling jokes. Acting like it was still happy hour. Even my super straight-laced veteran brother was living his best life. By 3am I called it. But my brother wanted to stay (let's be honest--he was tryna flirt with one of my younger homegirls), so I left him with the crew and dipped. And I left knowing he--first-time Vegas visitor from the deep South--was in good hands. The live band was tearing up classic rock and country like they had something to prove, and he was all in. Used the bathroom before I left--small, but clean (honestly that's a win). Got to my car easy, thanks to the solid parking lot right out back. All in all? A damn good experience that I totally didn't expect. And yep--already planning to go back. Service/Product: 4.4 Atmosphere: 4 Customer Service: 4.5/5

    All decorated for xmas, live music, pizza, and holiday drinks. Servers are amazing and the pizza was surprisingly good.

    Alex P.

    This year the holiday decor is as splendid as last year's! Stopped by last night and enjoyed "Santa" singing blues - now they have live music every night. The band was fantastic, the crowd really grooving. The challenge is when it's this crowded, it becomes almost impossible to order a drink. You really have to get close and personal to others at the bar to flag someone so you can order something - meanwhile, two guys interpreted my proximity as interest in, well, them. Lol. Drinks are delish by the way. Have yet to try their pizza, but I will soon.

    I have spent two weeks on vacation in Las Vegas and I have had my fill on the tourist trap locations. Luckily a musician friend recommended the Sand Dollar Lounge as a place to catch some local musicians. I really enjoyed myself here. The beer selection was good, the pizza was amazing, and the local group playing, The Foster Collective, was on point! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back here first thing the next time I'm in Las Vegas.

    Checked out the xmas pop up on Christmas Eve. Showed up around 5 and had a good time. The decor is just what we were looking for. Thanks for bringing the festive spirit!

As someone who loves all things quirky and unusual, The Golden Tiki has always been right up my alley. When a friend came into town and wanted to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, I thought it would be the perfect place to kick off our evening. I was able to make an online reservation just a couple of days in advance, which was quick and painless. What I didn't realize was that they offer a weekday happy hour and live music! We were seated in "Bull***t Corner," which turned out to be the perfect spot. We had a great view of both the bar and the entertainment, making for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. Also, can't forget to mention the service. The hosts were fun but our actual server was absolutely hysterical and fit right in with the fun. She kept us laughing throughout our visit, while also being incredibly attentive. Despite the busy atmosphere, she made sure our drinks were flowing, checked on us regularly, and made sure everything was taken care of. It's not often you find someone who can be both entertaining and genuinely great at their job, but she pulled it off effortlessly. Our guests were genuinely impressed, and everyone had a fantastic time. The drinks were excellent as always--I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad cocktail here. I haven't had the chance to try their food yet, and we decided to stick with a few drinks since we already had dinner reservations elsewhere, but after this visit, I definitely plan on coming back on a weeknight to order from the food menu. If you're looking for a fun, unique Vegas experience with great drinks, and plenty of personality, The Golden Tiki is always a solid choice.
