The Best Dive Bars in Las Vegas

"Noted for cheapness of booze, plenty of TVs, unpretentious locals, and rockabilly crowd, this spot was a favorite of Anthony Bourdain’s. An ominous hunk of wood labelled "Attitude Adjuster" hangs on the wall. Their Jameson Century Club celebrates regulars who have downed 100 Jameson shots." - Janna Karel

Every eclectic patronage that meshes well several nights a week that have different agenda. Tuesday night is karaoke from 9pm to 3 pm by KJ Morgan the Organ. Lively fast pace friendly. Best Dive in town. Easy parking no food but lots of fast food around them . Burger king .wing stop .Robert's etc. Bus stops close by . Loose gaming machines . All music excepted to sing . Part of the karaoke karate network. Can be a busy bar but employees are very attentive to the customer while being friendly and suppling great service.customer range from near starving artist to the regular working person. Periodically the have costum contests and singing contests. Any one can sign up. It's a great place for tourist to let their hair down and see how the fun winds up.

If your looking for an authentic Las Vegas dive bar… look no further! This is the real deal with great bartenders, strong drinks, colorful locals, sticky tables and floors and occasional live music and karaoke. Great place to start the night, end the night or stay till morning.

I love this place because no matter when I go, I'll always run into someone I know! Drinks are cheap, so this is a good place to go if you're over paying tourist prices for drinks.

Found this place because of Anthony Bourdain. Fantastic local dive bar. Great place to watch a game and drink with friends. These were the most affordable drink prices in town that I came across. I was slightly harassed by a patron for wearing a blazer but that’s not really the bars fault. Definitely recommend.

The best dive bar in Vegas. I don’t want to take pictures of people who may not want to be seen so no bar pics. It is 10am on a Tuesday and this place is busy❤️ Smells like smoke because you can STILL smoke inside: GOOD GREAT! I am a former smoker but still I WANT a bar to smell like a BAR not a hospital room. So if smoking hurts your feelers, stay away.

Me and my friends love to find good dive bars. This was by far the best one that we found in the two days that we were there. The bartender was great also. If you want an old true dive bar check this one out

I've only ever been to Huntridge Tavern on Tuesday nights for karaoke, but I love this bar. It's a dive, with cheap drinks, and awesome bar tenders. Emilie and Maré are the best! Karate Karaoke is here from 9pm-3am, and sometimes later. You all know how much I love Karate Karaoke!!!! If you love a good dive bar like I do, you'll love Huntridge Tavern!

We tried out the Haunted Tavern and really enjoyed our evening! Being scary movie/story/ghostly stuff buffs we had moderately high expectations! We got our money's worth! You are served 4 rounds of delightful cocktails to accommodate four stories of local gore and macabre! The host/story teller for the event did a great job! The props were cool and we all recommend the show!

Great bar Service is on point I just wish they could open some sort of window or have better filtration for their abundance of smoke. Best dress down cause your outfit will smell of an ashtray. You've been warned.

Cool dive bar full of locals only on the north side of Las Vegas. Stopped in here on a yelp recommendation. I was not disappointed. Looks like they have live music in the corner a lot of the time. This is truly a local dive bar where they know your name. I find it funny that basically every bar in Las Vegas has those cheesy little slot machine poker games on the bar top. The drink prices were good, the bathroom was clean, the parking was plenty full, and there were no annoying drunk tourists. What more could you ask for.

Awesome dive bar! Staff is amazing, people are awesomely interesting, to say the least. The only downside is the smoke, but it's Vegas so get over it. It's super cheap to drink here and it's easy to get caught up in a conversation with a stranger for hours. Love coming here. This is absolutely a local industry bar and it knows it. Might not be the best place for tourists or anyone looking for a "club/party" atmosphere

I have nothing but love for Huntridge Tavern! This simple dive bar has a lot to offer, so I'll keep this review nice and simple. -Plenty of parking -Cheap drinks -Drink specials -Friendly, attentive service -Clean restrooms -Video poker The crowd is mixed. There were people in their early 30s and people in their 60s. It makes for great people watching!

This is one of those old school dive bars where the people are part of the charm. They have live music and you can get liquor to go if you like. The Huntridge area is name after a theater that sits on the corner of Maryland Parkway and Charleston Boulevard. The Huntridge is close but few still want it restored. The Huntridge district is revitalizing a few of the shopping centers and streets around the area. So if you support the arts and the gumption to keep fighting, check out this area

This tavern is situated inside a strip mall and it has a single door entrance that you would miss if you weren't looking for it. It's a pretty dim rustic bar but they did have some live music there. The bartender was fairly friendly and got the drinks to us in a decent amount of time. The clientele there That the place seem to attract left a lot to be desired.

Don't go unless you want the regular racists sitting at the bar starting a fight and then jumping you in the parking lot when you leave. This place is so beyond trashy and that's saying a lot considering I'm from a small town in Kentucky. A friend who lives downtown suggest a group of us go to this bar late night after work. We paid for a lyft down to the abandon shopping center the bar is in. Right away when you walk in the door the place reeks of an ash tray. We make the best of it and find some seats next to each other near the juke box. I play a Sinatra Christmas song (it's 2 days until Christmas. I'm not a crazy holiday or religious person but it's just a song!!!) and the regulars at the bar start yelling "f this" and other obscenities. Right away I felt uncomfortable because I knew then we were not welcome. The group we had was 3 Caucasian people and one Vietnamese person. We buy two rounds of drinks and on the second round we do a cheers and a small piece of one of the glasses breaks off and hits the floor. Right away the bar regulars whip their head around and yell that "we better clean that up". I was like what?? I've been bartending for over 13 years so trust me when I say I "get it" but the glass literally cracked without anyone doing anything crazy. It was probably just an old overused glass that needed to be thrown out anyway with the rest of this bar. After several minutes of the regulars yelling at us I go up to the bartender and asked what was going on and he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about even though he was not only standing right in front of the regulars the entire time but there were only 5 people in the bar besides us. I told the group we should go because I could see where this was going. We all gathered our things and left. We get about 100 yards down the side walk and one of the regulars comes flying out the door of the bar and runs up on the only not white person in our group and jumps him from behind. What the racist regular didn't know is our Vietnamese friend is a professional wrestler and immediately subdued the guy. We finally get away from these people, which the group that came to jump us included the bouncer from the bar, and walked to a nearby gas station where we felt safe to call a lyft to get out of there. So basically if you don't want to leave smelling like and ashtray and being jumped, don't go to this bar. This bar honestly should be shut down. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen and it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed. I've seen a lot of things in Vegas, including being shot at before and this was absolutely unacceptable and unnecessary behavior.

You have to come here, perfect nonchalant gathering place to drink to hearts content. The bartender was awesome, attentive. The atmosphere is cozy, albeit a bit smokey, but I liked that. Its definitely my new spot, I hope they don't ever change.

Las Vegas, Nevada --- Day 100 "DUSA Tour 2016" Bar 2 of the day ... "Huntridge Tavern" (since 1955) may be the oldest continuous bar in Las Vegas bartender today is young and not a good reason to return reputation of "Huntridge Tavern" is the neighborhood is a bit tough they do sell "Hamm's" beer in can for $1.50 after this visit, I would mot be a fan of the place, the bartender, or the customers #RunAwayBill #DUSATour2016 #LivingLarge "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 07.20.16

If you're like me.. Walking into the bar you will instantly fwwl like you're a regular. Mostly older people but that means no bs! You get the occasional "off their rocker" kind of person that will make you pee your pants laughing! Overall this bar is great to get drunk, people watch, and have a good time!

I was on my way home from work when I found this bar. I love dive bars. The people always seem more genuine and the bartender on shift made me feel right at home. The prices were great and the whole place turned my bad week at work into wonderful Saturday night. So much so I had to come back the next night and I plan to continue to come to this bar again as it is now one of my favorites :) I think the bartenders name was Mandy, she never left my drink go unnoticed especially sense I'm a gamer I really appreciate that. She even rose to occasion when I asked her to make me a shot that was completely her own idea and it was great! Cheers, Joe.

What a delightful little s-hole this is. Love it! It feels like walking into the 1970's. The bar is all beat down, as are most of the regulars planted on their barstools day after day. It's smokey and dark. The bartenders are all way chill, and they employ some very hot ladies here -- assuming you're into girls who are covered in tatts (the best!). They have live music here occasionally. Otherwise it's your regular ol' hole that will steal your day.

I am a fan of this dive bar! It is what it is.... It could have the potential to be very smokey, I am a little weezy today, if it was packed with smokers I would not be able to stay, however I will return and hope for the best. The location is in a rough area, and as we stood outside there was deep contemplation, and we were both glad we returned and walked through the door! The bartender she was great and I wish we got her name. Sometimes when you enter a neighborhood bar you could be made to feel like an outsider or perhaps a conversation is carried on before you are served. Not here, she acknowledged us right away and guided us to what was offered. I loved that she included the vodka special, $2 a shot! One cannot go wrong with that! She heard us talking about how hot we were, it was 108 outside and she suggested a table near the fan! The drinks we had were mixed great and we had huge smiles.... $6 for two drinks including a tip in Vegas! There is a lot of cartoon artwork on the walls and those were fun to read. The bathroom was a walk down a hall and they were surprisingly remodeled and very clean. Yeah dive bar clean! There were collages of past events down the hall and people know how to live here! There was a mixture of old timers and two of them encouraged to enter earlier in the evening. One bought us a drink and that really made us feel welcomed! Hipsters, musicians, unemployed, you will find it all here and everyone was happy. It is an old school down to earth bar I thought that disappeared. They will be having some fundraisers for the theater and I hope to return for those. This is off the path, but I will return!

I used to love this place, but I don't know what the hell the current manager is thinking. Went there tonight to watch the hockey game and they turned the game OFF to have some guy play his guitar and beg for tips. People were pissed, half of them left. I've seen him a few times and he's very arrogant and rude to customers. He claims he runs an 'open mic' show but he is openly demeaning to anyone who actually gets up and performs. All the patrons complain to the bartender who clearly has no say in this. She just keeps apologizing for turning the game off as people walk out the door. I sure didn't think a small bar would turn off a playoff game, especially for a guy no one wants to hear. I'm finishing my drink and heading somewhere else.

Great place for late morning Breakfast and Bloody Mary to sooth the weary feet and bloodshot eyes. And in the mood for sports. Or just to kick start another day in Hell. AKA: Vegas! Guess it's groovy late night as well. Lots of cool rock photos on walls best of Lennon near bathroom wall as a young scrub. Check out.

This bar was hard to find at first as the entry is small and facing at an angle when standing in front of it. Not sure if it is a dive bar but that is what i would call it, that's a good thing in my book, most bars should be dark and grungy! It was smoked filled and had a few local customers who look like they may have their own seats, yea just like Cheers. It was a fun place to hang out with friends and i would go back for a good time

What a dream this bar is! I hiked here after a long day at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, and I'm glad i did - service was outstanding, (i think her name was Emilie?) and the regulars were chatty & friendly. Best of all - the juke box was plugged with only good stuff!

I'm at the huntridge bar right now. This lady who is the bartender at this time ( 5:34pm) is the single most rudest and total joke I have ever been across in my 40 plus years in Las Vegas. She hates customers!! I will never go back to a golden gaming establishment as long as I live!!

This is an a-ok dive bar. It's supposedly like the oldest or longest operating or something bar in the City of Las Vegas. It's in a strip mall next to Huntridge Pharmacy and not too far from Huntridge Circle Park. It's tiny. It's full of things to look at. It's got dive bar charm. It's super laid-back and friendly and chill. The bartenders are great - friendly and attentive. They have a lot of beer offerings (bottles), which is awesome. It's a perfectly fine dive bar. Nothing about it, though, would make me consider this a destination place. Unless you're already in the area, it's not worth a visit.

Love this Bar. I found it on my recent thrift store/pub crawl. And boy this was a good find. If you can handle the smoke it's a great local/dive bar. I have to admit, that when I first walked in I expected to see a bar full of degenerates, but no just some good ole locals. Cheap-stiff drinks, bizarre-o art, flocked & wood paneled walls give this old joint a really quirky, interesting feel. If you are lucky enough to get a seat at the "millionaires table" well, enjoy it.

All the soft-handed, whimpering pansies who give this place one star need to STFU and go back to having whiskey-frapachinos on the strip at the Cosmopolitan so they don't get their driving loafers dirty in my stinky, old man bar. Discomfort is temporary but being a p*ssy is forever, boys.

Traffic tip (thanks to bar patron Louie) -- if you need to make that difficult Left turn onto Charleston when leaving, you can instead leave the shopping center parking lot via an alley that runs parallel to Charleston behind a small strip mall. The alley will come to an end, turn right, and you pop up at an intersection with a traffic light which allows a direct left turn. This might sound complicated, but this is a very easy maneuver, trust me. Much easier than making a left turn onto westbound Charleston from the shopping center, that's for sure. Cool bar, by the way. I would return.

This is a real dive bar. Not a hipster you read about it in Maximum magazine place. This is a place with three tall beers $6.25! Try the popcorn. This is a working folks and super local spot full of old timers. If you want some crusty spot to have a few I recommend this.

Huntridge is the definition of dive, and we wouldn't want it any other way. I've watched many a sunrise leaving and/or even entering this spot. Will you get stabbed? Maybe! It's the thrill this place brings to the table. The night is always young at Huntridge, and you best watch your drink.

What a great dive bar! We went in, had three beers, and the waitress dropped our $5.25 tab on the table. I called her over to tell her there was a mistake, and that we had 3 beers, not 1. No mistake she said! Love the Huntridge!

I adore this place. My buddy and I came here a few months back and I'm hoping to be back soon. Our bartender was amazing and was incredibly sweet she made us feel so welcome. I had ordered a jack and coke and it was like half of it was straight jack.. girl after my own heart! She goes "we pour with love here" I had maybe 2-3 before I tapped out and at $5 a jack and coke you cannot go wrong with this place. Some may be hesitant to try it since it is located in not the nicest area of Las Vegas but take it from someone who lived 2 blocks away for over a year when I first moved to Vegas, you don't really have much to worry about. Downtown will always have my heart and I still find myself missing it since I moved across town to Summerlin. This is place is a hidden gem a maybe about a mile from Fremont everyone should check it out you'll be super glad you did.

I like dive bars for the cheap drinks... but even more for the unpretentious sanctuary they offer in a city full of poseurs. UNFORTUNATELY, the f*cking hipsters have turned what was once a nice, quiet, miserable dive full of toothless methheads and winos into an edgy watering hole full of bicycle-riding, big black-plastic-framed-glasses-wearing Portland, Ore. wannabes. I came here on the night of 7.16.11, and at first all was well: methheads at the bar, winos in the corner, box of Franzia unabashedly on tap. The atmo was dim, gloomy, wood-paneled and grim -- just what I likes. Then, the invasion began. They trickled in one by one in their skinny jeans and ironic t-shirts, piling their bicycles in the corner, making ironic jukebox selections and swilling hipster ambrosia a/k/a Pabst Blue Ribbon. When the bicycles outnumbered the meth-heads, I knew it was time to get the hell out of there. I wish these punk-ass kids would stick to their bedrooms in those ugly new houses! Shoo, junior -- I heard there's this awesome secret pizza place at the Cosmo that no one knows about -- why don't you go check that out and leave us authentic dive bar denizens alone? Meanwhile, I was grumbling all of this into a totally UN-unpretentious Campari & soda. But goddammit -- I'M supposed to be the only ironic one in these places!

This is one of my favorite bars of all time. And I've been to oh so many bars. It's actually embarrassing ok? So. Many. Bars. HT takes the medal for closest to my heart (and home literally). Staffed by some of the best tenders in town. Lovely mix of wonderful neighborhood lifers and noobs. 24 hours. Cheap as cheap can be. I started crying during their spot on an Anthony Bourdain show like some kind of proud mother. It's homeeeee. PS it's only "dangerous" if you're a total suburban baby. Hey you're scared? Get in your SUV and go back to summerlin. My kid is beating the hell out of your honor roll student. Liquor to go and smoking inside. If you grew up here you'll definitely run into some idiot you know but that's ok. Wink at em, take a shot of Jameson, and chill the eff out. They are probably some schmuck with a geography degree or something anyways.

This is not Cheers. Everybody doesn't know your name and they probably wouldn't give a fuck if you told them. My friend suggested I meet here for drinks on my birthday. I thought it'd be a cute, old Vegas bar, boy was I wrong. And I'm still wondering why my bougie gay friend would chose a place like this. There are TV's everywhere. The money they save in cleaning is obviously spent on flat screen plasmas. They also have some gaming and a juke box. A few people in the bar were cheering on Tim Tebow while a few other guys were screaming at the TV "Tebow, you f*gg*t!" So why did I give them 4 stars? The drinks were strong and cheap, and no one bothers you. There were all types of people coming in and out, everyone was happy and having a good time. Despite people yelling f-bombs at the Tim Tebow, my gay friends didn't feel threatened at all -- they chose the place! I didn't give it 5 stars because this place is HELLA smokey. I mean HELLA. I had to wash my hair 3 times to get the smell out. If you're a local, and just want to chill and/or watch the game, Huntridge is a good place to go. No egos and no hipsters, just strong drinks and real Las Vegans.

This is the best bar in town. All the bartenders are great, and you should count yourself lucky to be a regular here. It's a mainstay for locals and if you're a tourist, it's a snapshot into the local dive bar scene. 10/10.

Anthony Bourdain, good lord. What were you thinking? I don't have a problem with dive bars and all, but this place takes it to a new level. Just know that. We couldn't figure out whether it was featured on the 'Parts Unknown' series because (a) he genuinely thought this place was worth going to, and is trying to bring people to a struggling business; or (b) it was meant as some kind of joke to the viewing audience. Was this Bourdain's way of messing with his foodie viewers' minds? The world may never know. Two different downtown cabbies the night we went and neither one of them had even heard of this place, let alone knew where to go. 'Parts unknown' indeed. Upon arrival, we actually had to double-check whether or not we were at the right place, and the cabbie stuck around to make sure we weren't shanked. You'll find out exactly why this place should remain a 'part unknown' the minute you open the door. . Or maybe BEFORE you open the door, when you'll gaze upon the dot-matrix printer-paper sign, messily scotch-taped to the completely tinted all-glass door , which exclaims in all-caps: "YOU CAN'T PEE FOR FREE." The night we entered, a scraggilly-dressed man in his late 60's was passed out at the obligatory slot machine game, head back and mouth wide open, empty drink glass right next to him. Next up, a geriatric-skewed patchy group of beyond middle-aged lost souls scattered lightly around the bar (and this was a Saturday night). The lone bartendress was okay, but not very friendly; maybe she recognized we weren't local. Maybe her boyfriend yelled at her earlier that day. . Who knows. Avoid like the plague..unless schadenfreude is your thing. It just feels like you're in a failing business with a bunch of bar flies who gave up on life a long time ago. If you want to get away from the Strip, there are plenty of options that are leagues better (and at the same price point) in/closer to downtown.

(note: this is reposted from another listing of this establishment) I love the Huntridge. It's a great little neighborhood dive, stress on the dive. The drinks are crazy cheap (like $3 for call liquor?!), and they always have weekly specials. The bartenders are friendly and entertaining, and the working-class clientele is refreshingly unpretentious and relaxed. Warning: it is smoky as all get out in there, and smells like smoke even when it's empty! So if you're sensitive to that, don't go here. They have a great jukebox, random bar snacks, and an array of bar video games to entertain the drunkards. I always seem to gravitate toward this place around 2-4 am because it's right on my way home from pretty much anywhere else. The Huntridge is open 24-hours, but if you feel the need to take the party elsewhere, you can always buy 6-packs or bottles of liquor to go! Update: they've started having a Weds night game night, where people get together and play Apples to Apples, UNO, or whatever might be of interest. Great way to meet new folks!

$3 Fat Tire's!?! Seriously!?! No, really??? I couldn't believe it. Even here in the 'burbs of Chicago you can't get a bottle of Fat Tire that cheap. First off, I was brought to this dive by a buddy of mine that lives out in Vegas. It's in a strip mall next to an old school pharmacy and it's no where near the main hotels. Already I was intrigued. We enter and are greeted by a few of his friends already seated at a booth, which is always a good sign for a fun night ahead (it ended up being a fantastic night). I start to look around and this place was obviously where old timers used to go and booze it up. There were still a few of those older gents seated at the bar (and managing to stay upright). It's tiny, it's smoky, it's dimly lit. The booths only sit four so folks have to pull up chairs. I can see it being cramped if more than 30 people are there at the same time. Basically, I was won over by its charm. My night in perfect cheap beer heaven ended far too quickly, but at least now I know where to go to find great conversation and a good beer at a great price. I miss you already Huntridge Tavern.

OMG!!!! $3.75 for well drinks?! I was drunk with my $20. Probably I'm such a light weight. But the atmosphere is very fun. Especially when there's a game going on. To get to the restroom, walk through the hallway of photo album pages from the bar's events. This bar is a must stop for a bar hopping adventure when you're in downtown!

My buddy Christina C. and I went to check out the tavern after a night downtown. We strolled in at about 3 a.m. on a Tuesday morning. There were a couple of regulars hanging out watching episodes of Deadwood on the flat screen. Carla, our bartender, was very accommodating and fun to talk to. I cannot believe how cheap the booze is here! Lots of choices on tap and plenty more from the fridge. It's a smokey, dive bar so I can understand the bad reviews, however, after a long night on the town, this was the perfect place to wind down. My only gripe is the lack of selection on the jukebox, but then Carla informed me I had to pay more money for the good songs. The music already playing was strange jazz improvisation that just wasn't for me. I wish there was some Sinatra or the like in the background.

The Huntridge tavern seems difficult to find for most, so I'll explain it in detail here: Its on maryland&charleston, on the same corner as the circle k. in fact its "behind" the circle k. At night you'll see a neon light saying "bar" its two doors down from the Savers (same building) I love going here on Wednesday night game night, usually I'll try to pick up a new $1 game from savers and add it to the growing collection. So far Apples to Apples and Catch phrase have been the most fun. Key points for this place *cheap as F*&#k drinks ($1.5+ for beers) *drink specials *smokey *a very eclectic crowd. *Tv *video poker and gaming machines *impromptu dancing *some interesting artwork on the walls *great music whether its a dj or the jukebox *you can buy a six pack or bottle to go *lots of locals and die hard regulars, so don't be a dick.
