The Tailgater Tavern - Pabst & Jager!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Great place before the UNLV football games! Great fun packed atmosphere! Lots of TVs and the food is really good! They were very accommodating to my burger with no bun, even cooked my burger in a pan to keep it safe Gluten free. Even so busy the service was great, owners were delivering food! Kudos for all hands on deck! We had a great time! read more

The bar is alright. Decent ambiance for music with pals, food is okay, could be better, service on grave was great, but the other shifts need work. Will reivew after more visits this year. In the few years prior it's been up and down all over the place. Really depends on the bartenders. read more

Great atmosphere, great vibe, great people. Was looking for a place to go since Stage Door was closed. Glad we decided to check out The Tailgater Tavern. Special shoutout to Megan and Ashlyn for their fun loving personalities and making a person feel welcome. Definitely will return when I'm back in Vegas. read more

In it's inconspicuous location and camouflaged front entrance you may find yourself driving right past if you don't know it's there. I knew this building existed and I went there deliberately because it had been years since I'd been there when it was another bar completely called Hammer and Ales. I knew another bar took it's place and wanted to try Tailgater Tavern. Since you have to know this place is here, it's a total locals place (Great! I'm a local). There were only a handful of patrons in there and they seemed to be the type that come there after work every single night just to drink their lives away and stumble home. I have to tell you the bartender was flat-out unaccommodating. She barely took our first drink order. No smile, no "how are ya?", Not even offering us a menu.... she just wanted to return to talking to the small group of daily drunk degenerates in there. Didn't even check on us until I had already decided I was leaving after one drink. So I'd think a place like this that would depend 100% on local business would want to make a regular out of somebody new. Ya know...drives sales... offer them a menu, be friendly, check on them. Nope, not here. She couldn't give any less of a hoot. This place is a joke, I went somewhere else and had a great time. If you happen to see this place, just keep passing it like everybody else does less the handful of degenerates in there. *** the funny part is another yelper posted a picture and review about the same unfriendly, ameteur, miserable bartender. I don't know who she is but the receipt that was handed to me said "DavidsonA" .... anybody that goes there might want to avoid her shift. After some investigation it sounds like she works Tuesday through Thursday Swing Shift 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. Well....I won't be going back at all as I have a laundry list of better places to go! read more

Love love love this spot. I felt like I was at home. Staff greeted me coming in and felt like a Rockstar.

Well, folks, picture this: Yours truly decided to grace The Tailgater with their presence one fine Saturday afternoon. And what a revelation it was! This place was hopping, thanks to a UNLV football game and a whole bunch of alumni congregating for some pre-game shenanigans. Situated a mere stone's throw away from Allegiant Stadium, The Tailgater practically screams "Raider Nation." If you're headed to an event at the stadium and you're not tailgating in the parking lot, this joint is closer to the action than your car. Yeah, I said it! When it comes to liquid courage, The Tailgater doesn't mess around. They've got a lineup of beers that'll make your head spin, and rumor has it they like to switch things up on tap. And if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, they've got the full Monty when it comes to liquor and a kitchen that knows what's up (when items are in stock, more on that in a sec). Our bartender extraordinaire was none other than Megan, and let me tell you, she was like a hospitality wizard. She went out of her way to make sure our every whim was catered to. On game days, they streamline the menu a bit, but don't fret, the bar-style grub is the real McCoy. We went all-in on the wings, and they were seasoned to perfection. The only tiny hiccup? Well, the wings were tiny too, maybe the tiniest wings I've ever laid eyes on. Here's a hack: Consult Megan about the wing situation before you commit. But hold onto your drinks, there's more to this story! Despite the hustle and bustle and the slightly slimmed-down menu, some items were playing hard to get, like their tots and onion rings--listed on the menu but about as available as a unicorn at a petting zoo. Instead, they served up the smallest stick fries this side of a frozen fry bag's reject pile. You know, the sad bits and pieces that you find at the bottom of the bag? Yeah, those. Now, I can't forget to mention the dive bar charm. The Tailgater has that glorious, unpretentious ambiance that's a hallmark of the finest dive bars. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, enjoy a cold one, and soak in the game day glory. Oh, and let's not forget about the breakfast plates and pizzas - they looked fantastic too. And here's a little secret: since the Crazy Horse is just up the street, if you time it right in the morning hours, you might catch a glimpse of the strippers and their security crew stopping by The Tailgater for breakfast and drinks. Now, that's a show you won't want to miss! So, whether you're a sports fanatic, or just looking for a laid-back spot to soak in the game day vibes, The Tailgater has you covered. We will be back... Especially on Megan's shift! read more

The Tailgater Tavern - One legit normal wing (on the left), for you to compare with the wings to the right. There was hardly any meat on these things. - Sports Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Cheap drinks, cold ac and even colder beer. Had a burger and fries from here and it was extremely good. It actually shocked me how good it was coming from a dive bar like this. Cool bar I will be back for sure. read more

Been here a few times when I couldn't find a better option...Being a dive bar the l prices are good, but they are always out of items on the menu which is annoying. I never heard of a dive bar being out of Mozzarella Sticks, French Fries and Potato Salad! And guess what, the Service sucks what a shocker! read more

Came here to meet up with friends who were visiting from Florida. The drinks were a good price and the bartender poured with a heavy hand! Me and my husband shared some fries while we drank! The service, food and drinks were great! Definitely a place to come back to when there is a event near the stadium! read more

Beth is awesome. Stays attentive and is ready for any refill. Compliments the bar & takes care of everybody. 10/10 thank you for your service. read more

The Tailgater Tavern is like a bar from the movies. It's not the fanciest bar but it feels like everyone who goes there are regulars. It's also not crazy crowded so I can actually sit at the bar and have a drink and not have to fight for it. They have TV's for the games and game days specials. We are a town with almost as many bars as we do McDonalds. I like the bar because the food is good. They have my favorite wings and fries in town. I honestly don't know what else to say but I actually go here and I enjoy it. read more

Sunday night quite, stop in. Order wings and mixed drink. Bartender complained about making it, wings were cold. Bartender was more interested in chatting on phone the taking care of us. Lame and rude. She refused to put joke box on. Only sports talk tv. Don't recommend at all. read more

I come here sometimes before, but usually after work to have a drink and hang out with my friends. I love the local vibe and how I always run into someone I know from the industry. Wings and fries are good (always a plus!) and people are great here. So glad this place opened up and so close to my work. I should try and come here for lunch on day. lol read more

It's exactly what you'd expect it to be. Which is what makes it so perfect. I remember this place when it was a construction bar before the Raiders ever thought of coming to Las Vegas. They were brilliant in their foresight to change their name and game plan. I was there Friday night for the UNLV football game and Sunday for the Raiders' game. I would have been better off to stay at the bar!!! Just a nice bar with plenty of room, good bartenders and plenty of TVs. Good selection of beer, typical bar food but with an exceptionally tasty cheeseburger. read more

This is a very unique bar in Vegas. Located in a business district but very accessible and ample parking. We came here to do our fantasy MLB draft and we were very happy with what they have to offer. Big bar with plenty of food and beer options, good prices and great service. They also have the main bar, then a private room and run another ultra private room upstairs. Very cool. I enjoyed the wings, fries and a great Philly sandwich. read more

I love slow/chill places. This is it for Vegas Best bloody Mary/other drinks in Vegas ive had yet Pretzel bites are NOT very good (watery cheese dip) Fried mushrooms are awesome (their ranch is good) Pizza is awesome read more

I stopped by today the bartender was so rude. She made it a point to let my friend and I know that we inconvenienced her by sitting at a table. She was condescending and lacked an ability to provide any sort of customer service. It's unfortunate because it was my first time here. I was looking at the reviews and to my amazement (not really) all the bad reviews are about the same bartender. My last straw was when the bar got empty and my friend attempted to get her attention and she deliberately ignored her while she was smoking. Cherry on top, she didn't even wash her hands after smoking. It's disgusting. read more

Great food at a great price. Bacon Blue burger was excellent, side salad surprisingly good for a bar atmosphere. read more

Service sucks, one person came by once and got our drinks never came back !!!tip her good didn't care just left us there, then this guy comes to charge us again , I advised we already paid Bethany and will said we had to pay again, was so rude!!! Don't recommend this place this is the second time we come and all employees are just so rude. I called I forgot my purse I was only 2 mins away, they tried to run my card, I'm filing a police report . As soon as I noticed I blocked my cards, they went through my purse took all my cards out!!! I took a picture of the guy he took off as soon as I got back to the location. read more

My friends and I were looking for a place to grab a drink after the game and decided to give this place a try. Service here is terrible. Don't waste your time read more

Karlie Jessica and Katie are some of the best bartenders in Vegas, this is a great local place, I would highly recommend.

Wasn't this place on Bar Rescue?? Looks like it's sinking again. Came in at opening to the RUDEST bar tender in the world... WTF?!? This place could be ok but this bar tender read more

Definitely a fun bar. In town visiting from Reno and I love local places. So welcoming! Katie was amazing!

Nice lil hole in the wall place. Service good. Food as expected for a bar. It did the job. Atmosphere perfect for what we were there for.

My first time in here and the bartender walk me and went toward the restroom and I waited for 5 minutes. Then came out of the kitchen and look shock when she saw me standing there still. She ask me how can I help with an attitude. I answered her I would to place an order then I told her forget it. I don't want to place an oder but thanks. She started to laugh and said thanks see you later. I guess if that's not your business and don't care if the place makes money. As a business owner you don't want any money to walk away. But some people don't care. Thank you , but I hope that you get better employees and do not go out of business. read more

I love this place. Great happy hour and probably the best $5.00 chease pizza you can find (happy hour). The bar tenders are great Carla and Carrie are on point. read more

A totally unassuming bar that is one of the most welcoming places in Vegas. A beer selection that beer snobs will be happy and one of the best pizzas anywhere. Lots of specials to keep you coming back. My personal favorite is a PB&J. read more

I love this place. Best bartender Paola(Pow ola), she makes the best drinks. Such a homie place and always friendly

Randomly stopped in after work. bomb food and a bunch of good drafts. 5 stars for the service! Ask for Amber she's the best! coming back just to see her! read more

Such terrible service. Don't even waste your money here. Not sure what her name was who's working right now but ew girl, fix your attitude. Yea you're pretty but your attitude made you a solid -1. read more

Great bartenders. Love this place. It has pool, darts, golden tee, and juke box. It's always clean. Great place to hang and great prices.

Favorite place to grab a drink, great seating area and food. could use a dart board or some kind of game for a more tailgater feeling though. Come here and enjoy a cold one and their daily specials are awesome! Update!!! 06/29/2018 They got a pool table! Shuffle board! And golden tee!!! Woot!!! Do not put your drinks on brand new pool table I will personally hunt you down. read more

Ok sports bar with a friendly staff. You can easily miss it from the street as it's kinda hidden in a business park. Plenty of TVs and a few games to play. The food looked good and the cook offered every in there a lil appetizer for free. Would go back just to hang out. read more

By far the best bar before a game or an event at the stadium! Food and drink prices are reasonable, bartenders and wait staff are super attentive, it's my go to spot! read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem about a month ago. This place is chill, relaxing, and a great place to meet up after work! The graveyard bartender, John, was super friendly and entertaining. Boy can he move when it is a busy night. Very quick and efficient. The food is great, especially the fish tacos! The vibe is very chill, warm, and inviting. They also have a killer jukebox! The drinks are amazing and you have to try John's michelada! Sooooo good! He is by far our favorite bartender! Have been coming here with my coworkers from McCarran Airport and each time we come here, I feel like we keep bringing more people! It's our new favorite watering hole after work. The area is industrial but the parking lot is so safe that my coworkers and I have Uber-ed home a couple times and left our cars. Came back to pick them up, and they are still there...in one piece. I wish I knew about this bar when I first moved here because it's by far my new, number one, spot to frequent and hang out after work with friends or coworkers! read more

Great place to hang out and have a few frosty ones.... Will try the HOT wings next time... Just curious what the connection of this Tavern has to do with tailgatertavern.com See you soon. read more

I've been here twice now. The people are super friendly and Autumn (bartender) is awesome. Chill place, definitely recommend.

Nice sports bar with the small town feel to it, the bartender was really friendly. Enjoyed a night here.
