Dino's Lounge

"A dive bar since 1962, Dino's welcomes neighborhood regulars and downtown hipsters. A simple joint with sticky floors, limited drink options, and open pool tables, this bar is most packed on karaoke nights, when nearly every patron takes a turn on stage." - Janna Karel

"Another establishment dive bar with an iconic karaoke night, Dino’s Lounge sits near the Strat on Las Vegas Boulevard and has for 60 years. The drinks are cheaper than what you’ll find on the Strip, and the environment is laid back and casual, with a bit of cigarette smoke. Try karaoke on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 10 p.m. — as its website states, “Don’t just read about us, come on in.”" - Katie Swalm, Janna Karel

"The last three times you looked down at your watch it said 12:45am, so you suddenly realize two things: you definitely shouldn’t have worn it in the pool and it’s way later than you thought it was. Sure, you should probably head home, but when you want one last drink to wind down, have it at Dino’s. It’s dive-y and a great place to get a few cheap drinks and play some pool. There’s also karaoke Thursdays through Saturdays, and if you’re lucky, you might see some Vegas newlyweds being serenaded with “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by a very celebratory couple that might soon be newly wed, even though they only met a few hours ago. If you get hungry and it’s before 12am, walk across the street for some Venezuelan arepas or to the little shack with amazing Puerto Rican food." - milena difiore

"When Rinaldo Dean Bartolomucci opened his eponymous Dino’s in 1962, the appeal was cold beer, pinball, pool, souvenirs, and the welcome promise of air conditioning. More than half a century later, the still family-run business has kept its humble roots, but gained a reputation as the best dive bar and karaoke showcase in town. “Getting Las Vegas drunk since 1962” is the motto and bartenders run a monthly contest for the “Drunk of the Month.” An unpretentious and welcome atmosphere is matched by the interior decor, complete with pool tables, nightly karaoke, and sticky floors." - Janna Karel

"Dino’s tempts in an industry crowd with a graveyard special Sunday through Wednesday midnight to 8 a.m. Find $7 pitchers of PBR and $4 shots of Jameson to keep you fueled through many 50 cent games of pool at Dino’s tables." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
