Stray Pirate - Tropical Cocktails & Effects

Super fun and local bar with CRAZY good drinks and a really cute atmosphere! All of the drinks were really good (don’t order the koffee gin drink), there were four of us at our table and we each tried two different drinks- our friend group had gotten into making tiki drinks regularly? And this bars take in some of the classics are so surprisingly good! Try the Saturn!!! It was refreshing and a bit more complex than your typical tiki offering. Great service, and a fun time for sure!

This place is a must if you like Tiki Bars and you are visiting Las Vegas. Take a break from the overpriced and overrated Strip to visit one of the places the locals frequent. The drinks are reasonably priced, the service is outstanding, and the ambiance is awesome (sunken ship with a pirate dog motif). There's plenty of seating space by the bar and at tables/ booths. Private and impeccable restrooms. All aboard!

If you're in the arts district looking for a drink you must try this out! The atmosphere is awesome, love the story of a sunken pirate ship crewed by dogs. The music is on point, the animated scenes of the reef "outside the ship" were fun to watch and the service we had was very responsive with a great sense of humor. On top of all this the original cocktails were inventive and delicious. The classics were well executed. The bar snack selections are limited but equally tasty and we simply ate before we went. I take back what I said, even if you're not in the arts district you should make this a stop!

Visited multiple times during our trip! Such a fun vibe with the fish tank windows and tiki-pirate (and dog!) theme. The drinks are solid and creative. I’m sure we will be back again

Loved the ambiance and all the pirate decor! The story for this bar is also clever and fun! The drinks were also amazing! We tried the Mai Tai, the Zombie, and the Pain Killer! All were awesome, but the nutmeg in the Pain Killer took that to the next level for me…yum!!! This place was cool, and if it was closer to the strip we probably would have went in a few times. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Nothing can be done about this though, so not a problem! The only issue my friend had was feeling like the waitress we had was only talking to her husband, and not the rest of the group. I am unsure if this was the case because there were lots of drinks that night, but she was pretty adamant. My only recommendation personally, is to maybe reduce the amount of plants in the drinks…it’s a bit in the excessive side, lol! Other than that, it was a super fun time!

This is an amazing tiki cocktail bar! Fantastic atmosphere and while it was a busy Friday night they still had pretty quick service and we were checked on consistently during our visit. Friendly and fun staff and amazing decor!

In the arts district and so much fun! Such a cool little place with some amazing cocktails! So much to see and so entertaining! Cocktails were made to perfection!

Best classy tiki bar off the strip. Excellent drinks and service. Strip quality drinks for ~$15/drink. Erica is a great bartender! Absolutely loveeee the decor and pirate puppies. Must visit!

Stray pirate is a fun dog pirate themed tiki bar. I was a little bummed their drinks didn't come in tiki glasses but the decor made up for it I loved the "portals" they had all around the bar to see life under water. The drinks were strong as time drinks should be.

If you're seeking a unique tiki bar experience in Las Vegas, Stray Pirate is a must-visit destination. Located in the Arts District, this bar combines a dog and pirate theme, immersing guests in an underwater oasis that resembles the interior of a sunken pirate ship. The drink menu offers classic tiki cocktails like the Mai Tai and Zombie, as well as signature creations unique to Stray Pirate.

I've got no bone to pick with Stray Pirate. On the last day of a recent Vegas trip, I stopped by this tiki bar with a large group of friends for a cocktail. Since it was early afternoon on a Monday, we had no trouble getting in or finding seats. Stray Pirate seems touristy, so I bet the place gets busy during other times. I only had one drink since we came from another bar and would be flying home soon, plus work the next day, but I made my one order count. I got the Zombie, which is rated as Stray Pirate's strongest drink. But like most tiki drinks, you can hardly taste the alcohol given the fruity mixers. I enjoyed my beverage although I am not one to order sweet drinks. I wouldn't consider Stray Pirate a dive bar given the drink prices and won't go out of my way to visit next time I am in town, but definitely worth dropping in if happen to be in the area.

Beautiful execution of high end tiki theme In the Arts District. You will love the animation aquariums. They also carry great merch. When I went in November, I ordered some type of corn nuts popcorn, skip this popcorn. Our table ordered about 7 drinks. My fav was a mezcal tiki drink. This is located a busy street in the Arts District. A worthy immersive tiki bar.

So glad we stumbled upon this bar! I'd highly recommend arriving early as it can get pretty busy, but don't worry if you don't. People are in and out so just make sure to be on the lookout for a spot to open up. The bartenders were friendly and quick. Even though it was so busy on a Saturday night, we never felt like we had to wait long to get a drink. The place & decor is so cute with an aquatic/submarine feel & look to it. The drinks were amazing! So many great options it's hard to pick. Like other tiki bars, they're rated on how strong they are! We will definitely be back to try more of their drinks!

This place is so cool. While it may be oversold as a Pirate themed bar (and to be fair, my definition of a "theme bar" carries much higher standards than most), this is an absolute gem of a new addition to the downtown Vegas Arts District. I came here with some friends on a Saturday night and the place was packed. We were able to get a corner table fairly quickly. The menu has all the classics as well as some fun tropical cocktails with unusual ingredients and combinations. I normally don't do fancy pants drinks, but the server raved about their "Get It Kraken" cocktail so I ordered that (it is DELICIOUS). The drinks are large and strong, and fairly priced for Las Vegas: expect $15 - $18 per cocktail before tip. This isn't a touristy place and is more for locals, but visitors would absolutely be welcomed with open arms. They are open seven days a week from mid-afternoon until midnight, and they stay open until 1 am on Friday and Saturday nights! They try to bill themselves as a "dive bar," but it's really not. There's a fun pirate and salty dog theme that carries the nautical inspirations just far enough without crossing the line into desperate cheesiness. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed. This is a place to have fun, not one where you have to dress to impress. If you're bar hopping or want a unique place to grab a drink, I highly recommend Stray Pirate! Great staff, fun drinks, ridiculously enjoyable theme decor makes for a win-win-win!

A must when in Vegas great bar made by Bamboo Ben with a great Tiki Vibe. I mean where do pirates have a drink. Craft Cocktails. Open a little over a year the 2 bartenders and waitress are good care of all. The moving underwater screens are fun to watch. #Tikitriathlon continues

I'm torn about our experience at Stray Pirate. When you compare, the ambiance of the space is similar to Pagan Idol in San Francisco but leans towards the aged Smuggler's Cove in decor. For those who haven't been, Hale Pele in Portland is what you think a Vegas tiki bar will be. There's fire, fog machines, and tiki music that plays when your order is served. It's amazing and essentially the gold standard for what a tiki bar should be. But to start off with, Stray Pirate doesn't serve food. Most tiki bars don't have a full menu like Inside Passage or Tonga Room, but almost every bar will serve more than popcorn and nuts. I know one that does microwavable corndogs and I'm never mad at it. Second, I always love a good holiday spin like Navy Strength does in Seattle, but even though we visited right before Christmas, Stray Pirate didn't seem to have any specialty themed cocktails or holiday decorations. And third, when a bar leans towards the divey end (like Oakland's Kon-Tiki), the service, food, and cocktails are what shine through and make the experience. Our cocktails were okay but our waitress was having a rough day. She was trying her best but even in a mostly empty bar it was difficult to get her attention. At the end of the day, the honey adores tiki bars but Stray Pirate is simply a dive bar with tiki decor that has okay drinks and mediocre service. We don't plan to return and I wouldn't recommend it to tiki enthusiasts.

A hidden gem in Downtown Las Vegas. Hubby is into tiki bars and he definitely found one meant for locals. The owners are so awesome and sometimes they are our bartenders. Drinks are well mixed, not so sweet and definitely tiki! We attended their first year anniversary and it was an awesome celebration! We got cute merch like a hoodie and celebratory pins. The decoration of this place honors dogs, so be prepared for cute puppy decorations!

Went with family and had a great time. It's a good bar to start or end at if you're bar hopping since there's lots of bars nearby. Our server was nice. I ordered the Goonies never say die drink and I enjoyed it! Loved the pirates flag on top of it. They only had two bathrooms and it was pretty packed so I wish they had more bathrooms but I understand a lot of the downtown buildings are smaller so space is limited. Parking is hard as well since it's just mainly paid meter parking or paid parking lots. We got lucky though parking at a bar parking lot a few blocks away that had free parking.

Back at the Arts District for the fourth time this year to check out more places that I haven't been to yet. Stray Pirate, a cocktail bar on Commerce Street, ended up being one of these places. Stray Pirate is very easy to find - just look for the pirate flag hanging above their building. There is a security guard at the entrance at all times, meaning that this place is strictly 21+ only, so be sure to have your ID ready when you get there. When you walk inside, it's like you've been transported inside of a ship or a submarine from the outside, which was totally awesome. They even have projection-like windows that also make it look like it's underwater. We took a seat at a booth and looked over their menu. Inside their menu, they have a wide range of cocktails that range how strong they are (one being the weakest, four being the strongest). Also inside on the very last page is the story/origin of where their name came from. I ordered a Mai Tai and my boyfriend ordered a Get Kraken. My Mai Tai came in a tall glass that included a little pink umbrella and two types of fruit. The Get Kraken came in a smaller, more unique glass that included a little pirate flag and three types of fruit. With these drinks, it was like being in paradise, but also the feeling of being underwater in a submarine. I liked my Mai Tai so much that I finished the entire thing! And we were just getting started here. If you're looking for a bar with some amazing, tasty cocktails and to have a great time, Stray Pirate is the place.

Absolutely loved this place! Welcoming atmosphere and great service, even 30 minutes before closing time on a Sunday night. Staff was amazing, and as a result we had an amazing time. Of course, the drinks were good too... swig & berries, saturn, buck-o-neer. The saturn was definitely our fave, strong, fruity, just a delightful combination of flavors to put us in a good mood. The decor here is lovely too, with the feeling of being underwater in a pirate ship, apparently dog themed. Unique and amusing for sure.

Dogs dressed as pirates and tiki drinks?! Yes please! It took a second to find my bearings and get on the right street but once I saw the big pirate flag in front I knew I was on track. It felt like finding a treasure in the Arts District...once inside the darkness, cool air and sunken ship vibe hit and you know you are in for a treat. It is open seating once you arrive so you can opt for the bar to your left or seats to your right, there are high tops (just tables) in the middle which let me know that this place gets busy! A group of four of us arrived around 530p on a Friday and we were able to grab a table but by the time we left a couple hours later it was packed! The menu is extensive, plenty of cocktail options with great descriptions and if you have time read the story behind the mystery of the dog pirates...whoever wrote that story has one heck of an imagination! If you are really into tiki drinks, when you taste these cocktails you don't get the taste you expect BUT they are still tasty and refreshing. My opinion is because they can get so busy and they have so many drinks on the menu they have to focus on quantity not quality, but I could be wrong so I'll definitely be back to try more drinks. The Goonies Never Die tasted like a Long Island, the Sarge's Old Fashioned was very spirit forward and the Mai tai had a lot of citrus. I had the Miami Marauder and that was delicious, it tasted like a strawberry daiquiri. The servers were all very attentive even as the place got full. We bought a souvenirs glass and it came with some eye patches and tattoos! The paintings on the walls, animated port holes, bathrooms and entire vibe of Stray Pirate is awesome and highly recommend you check it out if you find yourself at East Fremont. There are a few snacks on the menu but no real food so don't come hungry!

Honestly go here! You don't want to miss this space! Truly my favorite place we went. The neighborhood is awesome. The staff was fantastic. The whole experience and vibes were what I wanted

For a dive bar you won't get any better! Great theme! Doggie friendly. Outstanding service by Erica! Super creative cocktail menu and they have all the low cost brewskies too! Hang out, meet up with friends or check in for a prolonged stay! This bar is a SuperCool must stop in Vegas do be sure to bring all your tourist visitors!

This has been a most meticulously built venue that looks like you are in the bowels of a pirate ship! Of course, the drinks are made with house made syrups and do pack a punch! The music choices, make it such a funfunfun place to enjoy. From Disney to classics, I felt my shoulders popping to the tunes. The 2 restrooms each have interesting artifacts and paintings to look at. I love the lantern fish, shark, red squid and rays that make their appearances in the port holes of the "ship". These fishes/creatures are really a site to see!

Bomb ass place to hang out!!! Great atmosphere great bartender and service! Love Erica and her mixed drinks! Great blackberry mojito!

Tiki bars are popping up everywhere in Las Vegas. This place is so good when it comes to decorations!!! The outside and inside!! The details!!! But they lack service! It takes a looooong time to get a drink. Whether busy or not it's always like that.

My husband and i were driving around the arts district on a saturday and saw that this bar was open and we had to come in. The bar was so cool inside, you walk in and its like going into a pirate ship. The ambiance is so chill and fun themed. We stayed for a bit and had a few drinks, we did not have the food but everything looked really good. The staff was great and very friendly, this is definitely a great bar to tak e people to while they are visiting.

I recently visited Stray Pirate with my husband, and we had a fantastic experience! I tried the Saturn cocktail, which was both refreshing and delicious, and beautifully presented. My husband went for a smoky mezcal cocktail, and he loved it. The ambiance is incredible--the decor is so detailed, with quirky dog pirate portraits in frames that add a fun touch. The staff was attentive, polite, and quick, which made the experience even better. Every little detail in the decor shows how much care was put into creating this unique vibe. We'll definitely be back!

The arts district is probably our favorite low key local areas we frequent. We decided to do a speakeasy crawl on this random Thursday. The stray pirate has been on our list, and for good reason. The front is very unassuming but walking in you're thrust into a pirate ship with moss , leaves and lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The decor excellent with portholes to enhance the vibe. Drinks are strong and well made, the menu is run heavy but hey it's pirate themed... staff are friendly and quick, it's open seating so I imagine if it's busy you'd need to keep an eye for an open spot. 10/10 recommend for a refreshing strong cocktail.

Just happened to be in the area on a Sunday afternoon and stumbled across this place. Place was full, drink selection was awesome, and just a great watering hole overall. Staff help incredible, and just a fun, dark, pirate/nautical themed bar perfect for some Sunday day drinking.

Currently here sipping on my Zombie cocktail. It's my second time here. The Stray Pirate opened in Oct and I highly recommend coming here to check it out. The ambience is spot on. It reminds me of stopping and having a drink inside the Pirates of Caribbean ride. The cocktails are solid and the staff is nice. Yea, there are other tiki bars in the area, but definitely check out the Stray Pirate, you won't be disappointed.

They did not serve food. However their drinks were absolutely delicious and a great price. Our server was super funny and took great care of us ! It was so cute in there all the decorations were so Instagram worthy.

My Uber driver and myself were both a little skeptical at first, being dropped off at the corner down the street on a cold night it was a little dubious there'd be a killer tiki bar a few doors down. Thankfully the cannon balls on the sidewalk reassuringly lured me in. Definitely has Trader Sam's vibes, minus the Dole Whip but with far more room and fun animated screen backdrops. Nice cocktails, nice ambience and cheerful bar staff (though they won't squirt you w water... unless you ask ) #iykyk

Kick ass Tiki Bar. AMAZING Atmosphere. Fantastic drinks. May be the best Tiki I've been to. Highly recommend.

First time visiting off the strip and this place is a GEM. The two bartenders Bria and Erica made the most delicious drinks. I had the Saturn and my friend got the Mai Tai definitely recommend both. The music was cool and on theme and the vibes were extraordinary. Give this place a visit!!!!

This was the coolest tiki bar I've ever been to! The service was so friendly! They greeted us as we walked in. They were very attentive and patient with us. They had a rush happen right as we came in, which delayed our drink orders but we didn't care as we enjoyed being there. Our server kept letting us know where we were in terms of drink order, which we very much appreciated. The coolest thing about this place is the dogs everywhere! We found out the dogs were real and belonged to the owners of the bar. Our servers told us all their names, but only one I can remember was the one I liked: Archie. The whole place is made to feel like you are in the galley of a ship. It's such a neat and welcoming atmosphere. There is no food served here; just drinks. All the drinks have playful pirate themed names. I really liked they had a zero sugar selection! They also put a paw & crossbones to show how intense the alcohol level is. One warning is this is not a really good part of town, but if you have your head on a swivel, you'll be fine. Just be aware of your surroundings. I don't hold that against the business at all! They are new kids on the block and they are truly rocking it out!!!

This is the coolest scene! Such great vibes and interesting cocktails. Try the banana snackeri!! Cheers!!

Service; incredible Cocktails; tasty af. Ambiance; love it! My only challenge is that they really need to reconsider their cocktails. I read a review that someone wrote or barely had any liquid (not just alcohol) & that it was all ice. I didn't agree with this comment until I saw it with my own eyes (see picture attached). It was slightly disappointing considering there isn't any food on the menu & there weren't a whole lot of options regarding drinks. It was a fun experience. I don't think you really have to stick around longer than 30 mins to get the full effect.

This is a new tiki bar in the art district area. I loved the decor of this place so cool and the dog story and paintings are lovely. The service was pretty nice and easy going. The drinks are a little too strong for my taste but that's just me and I like the fact that they have like pop- corn or nuts if you want them to accompany the drinking.

The newest tiki bar has arrived to Vegas and it's located in the arts district. Honestly it's about time we got another solid option. The inside is very well themed with pirate tiki lore, my favorite being the digital underwater screens. The drinks are a wee bit pricey as expected but they definitely pack a punch. I had one & could certainly feel the warmth in my belly. Overall an awesome spot to visit, it does get extremely busy & isn't very big inside so I recommend going during non-peak times. Only downside of going during day light hours is the bright light shining throughout the bar every time the door is opened.

Fun little tiki bar about a mile from Fremont street. Dim lighting, pirate themed and great service.

The service and drinks here are amazing! Erica is such a friendly, attentive and knowledgeable bartender! Highly recommend this place!

Great ambiance, drinks and staff. Very lively on a Saturday afternoon. Plan ahead to park while construction is happening on Commerce Street. The four of us each ordered something different and we were all very happy. We'll be back!

Hot diggity dog! Literally. I happened to see this bar because it was something different on Google maps I had never seen before. I was intrigued because I love tiki and my husband is a sucker for pirates and puppies. I'm sooooo glad I did though because this bar can rival the popular tiki spots in the city for sure. As a matter of fact, we weren't even done with our first drink and my husband leans over and says, "We can come back here any time." Score, 1, for Christina! Walking in on a Thursday night, there were a few tables occupied and most of the bar. We decided to sit on the end of the bar, in front of one of the bartenders. It was also the servers station area so we were able to talk with them before the hustle started. Super friendly and knowledgeable. They seem to really like working here and cared a lot about our experience. The bartender had a lot of flair and really made a show out of preparing the cocktails. The ambiance is great. The digital screens were perfect for the sunken ship vibe and I really appreciated this touch. I loved all of the paintings and fun stuff hidden around the place. The menu is on the smaller side but it's a full bar so you can pretty much order whatever you want. The specialty cocktails we did order were amazing. House made syrups and crafted garnishes really make up the wow factor. The navy strength alcohol also made everything just a little more yummy as well. LOL! The bartender did make a comment that made me a bit sad. A large group of Santas came in and of course, a rush started. Luckily or not, however you want to look at it, he made a comment that he hopes they stay a tiki bar obsessed with quality because it is Vegas and people come in with their vodka sodas, rum and cokes and Jack Daniels old fashioneds and don't seem to care about the specialty cocktails. If you're into tiki and amazing cocktails, this is the place to be.

Stray dogs turned pirates? You need to come Check this place out. Porthole windows make you feel like you just stepped below deck, complete with fish swimming by. Their menu is small but features several classic tiki drinks. I'm pretty sure we had the million doubloons and the swig and berries ( it was first Friday and I was pretty toasted ). Drinks were delicious and the service was super fast even though they were packed.

What a fun new bar in Vegas! I'm such a fan of the arts district, and I love that they have something for everyone. We had time to kill and I've seen this bar ok TikTok, so we gave it a try. It's off main Street, so you have to be ok walking a bit, but the bar has great atmosphere and great decor, as well as a solid cocktail menu. I had their espresso martini variant, and it was phenomenal. Our bartender was sweet and helpful and gave us great recommendations. Absolutely a great new bar to check out, and the best part is that it's dedicated to the owner's dogs!

Great drinks and vibes, I know it's a bar but wished they had some food options so I could keep the drinks flowing.

We stopped by right at their opening time on a Saturday afternoon- we stepped out of 100+ heat and bright sun and into another world. Cool, dark, with an otherworldly (underwater!) atmosphere. We were immediately greeted with ice water and took our time perusing their menu of tiki drinks. They include a fun story of the history behind their name/theme- you will never look at a stray dog with the same eyes again. ;) There are fun nautical touches throughout, and the drinks are not just delicious but reasonably priced for the size as well. We have definitely found a new favorite in The Arts District.

It took us three tries to find it open but it was worth the effort. Delicious drinks but they were heavy on the ice. I was very excited to have fabulous not alcoholic options, which not all tiki bars offer. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. The place was packed but the drinks still came quickly. All the guests in the bar were really happy...a sign of good drinks?!! The decor is fun... gotta love a velvet dog painted.

Pirate/dog themed bar. Interesting concept. Appreciated the video fish tanks behind the bar, and all over. Very busy when we went, so could tell the two bartenders were having a hard time keeping up. The drinks were decent, but for $15 each I was expecting better TBH.

Cute! Cute little tiki bar. Stopped in to have a drink while we waited for our table to be ready for brunch next door. Drinks were delicious! Restroom was spotless! Valerie was awesome! We'll be back!!

Went here on a Thursday afternoon at 4pm. I heard good things about this place from friends, so we went mid day shortly after opening to avoid the crowds. So be warned, there's only street parking and even then it is metered. Upon entering the bar, we were quickly greeted and we sat down at a table. The waiter came down with two waters right away while we looked over the menus. I ordered the "Get it Kraken," while my bf ordered the "Swig and Berries." We both liked the Get it Kraken the best out of the two. Drinks were decent, but not very strong. We chose these because they were rated a 2 in strength based on the menu. The environment was really cool at first. The lighting, animated monitors, and props really make this place. It really does look like the inside of a pirate ship! I have to knock down a couple of stars because the ambiance did get awkward. Between the quietness and lack of music and the monitors constantly going out and losing signal, it was a real mood killer for us. After one drink, we decided to go to another bar since there's so many options around.

After seeing a post on social media about this place, we had to try it! From the moment we opened the door we were blown away by the uniqueness, decor and great service! As a fellow bartender I was impressed. Nikki served us some killer cocktails with garnishes on point! Definitely will be returning soon..

5 big stars for ambiance. This place has the best art ever... dogs dressed s as pirates and doing pirate things. Perfection. The drinks were good and strong. Not toooo expensive. Bartenders are friendly. All in all, I had a great time hanging here.

I love a good tiki bar. Stray Pirate just recently opened when I was in town, so we decided to make this our tailgate destination before our concert. I don't remember the drinks we ordered but they all were inventive and delicious. The staff is readily available to help you make an informed decision. The ambiance was very cool.My only complaint is they don't have Happy Hour or food. I still prefer Golden Tiki, but this place is a solid option.

This place was so cool! It is super dark inside, but the decor was amazing along with the drinks. I had the Buck O Neer and Robbin the Gulf drinks and enjoyed both of them. We had a large party and the waitress was very attentive to us.

Erika is def one of the funnest and amazing bartenders me and my date have had! Thank you so much for the drinks and beautiful atmosphere....
