Las Vegas’s Queer Bar Scene Is Bigger Than Ever | Eater Vegas

"For more than 35 years, Badlands in the Commercial Center on Sahara Avenue functioned as both a 24-hour hangout and a queer community safe haven, serving as an enduring gathering spot for several decades." - Janna Karel

New Art Steakhouse to Open at Commercial Center - Eater Vegas

"The person who’s the brains behind Rebar and Davy’s in Downtown Las Vegas has major plans to bring a blown-up version of his eclectic gallery, bar, and restaurant to the Historic Commercial Center District. “It’s like Rebar on steroids,” says owner and art collector Derek Stonebarger, who aims to open Arty’s Steakhouse — the biggest project he’s ever done — before the end of the year. Stonebarger aims to create a 24-hour steakhouse-meets-gallery-meets-bar in a 9,000 square-foot venue with 30-foot ceilings, where chef Pedro Estela (the chef from Davy’s) can flex his culinary talents and local artists can sell their work. “It is an epic space, and it will be a game changer for the area and for the Las Vegas art community,” he says. “Years ago, I felt like downtown had a strong future in Las Vegas, and I feel like that’s going to happen again at Commercial Center. It’s basically what I’m banking on.” The former Cue Club space will be completely reimagined with a bar ledge built off the old billiards club’s handrails that wraps around the majority of the room. Plans also include two full bars (one that will serve locally-based Vesta coffee in the mornings and the other one with gaming), artist galleries, a private dining area, and a small stage for live entertainment. A few traditional tables and booths will be available, but roughly 200 of the 295 seats will be bar seats — a place designed to allow solo diners to feel just as comfortable as groups. “This is really a steak bar,” he says. In addition to a rotating selection of quality meat from the same providers who sell to the city’s top restaurants, the adults-only venue will have a large selection of liquor and a heavy emphasis on beer. Estala will make “classic steakhouse fare with some twists like steak fried rice,” and all of the sides will be vegetarian. Stonebarger wants to keep prices affordable — around $50 per person for a steak, side dish, and cocktail — with hopes that customers will have money left over to buy some art. Just as his other venues have paved the way for many new businesses to open downtown in recent years, Arty’s Steakhouse is poised to do the same for the 1960s landmark shopping area. Stonebarger says, “It’s all about the community, it’s all about art, it’s all about value, and it’s all about helping to restore that unique piece of Las Vegas at the Historic Commercial District.”" - Emmy Kasten

Good variety of restaurants and businesses. Jewelry store, pool hall, ethnic restaurants, etc., big parking lot for many places getting an update.

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous 🤩 The food and service was amazing. Parking is perfect not on the strip. Juan the second generation Son was amazing so cute I wanted to just pinch his cheeks!! If you want authentic family recipes this is your place, oh but don't let me forget the cucumber lime fresca. Best way to end our stay in Vegas. We'll be back in 4 months for sure, and they have a generous loyalty program 🍾🥂🍾🥂

I love the historical commercial center. It is definitely a blast from the past. There is a phenomenal narcotics, anonymous group there and many restaurants and salons. There’s even a great place to go play pool and a gay bathhouse if you’re interested in that kind of thing. They are doing their best to keep the place clean and even have artwork in some places. It’s definitely worth a visit.

The Composers Room hosts the B-Listers (Not to be confused with the Blisters), every other Monday night and they are FANTASTIC! Great music and funny, amazingly talented musicians and performers. The food was great and reasonably priced. Had a terrific time and will DEFINITELY be a repeat night out.

Wang's Korean Market, Balkan Bar & Grill, Core Contemporary Art Gallery, Sista Kim's Soul Restaurant are just a few of the gems and cultural institutions found in the Commercial Center. Literally dozens of destinations worth enjoying and knowing.

This review is for La Vecindad Mexican Restaurant. Nice little place in the historic commercial district. The food is great and the setting of characters is from the Mexican show El Chavo del 8. Make sure to book your reservations ahead of time as it does get packed. Definitely recommend for those that love mexican food.

There is an interesting mix of establishments here (located on E. Sahara Ave., the other part of the center borders Karen Ave.)- lots of ethnic restaurants like Lotus of Siam, Komol, Las Palmas Mexican restaurant (all worth going to, BTW), little Asian markets, John Fish Jewelers, the Cue Club (smoky billiard place), The Gay & Lesbian Center, The Green Door (fantasy social club), a Gay Bar, Apollo Spa (gay), a thrift store whose church (located in the center as well) members help the homeless, a new addition, US K & K Jewelry (in my opinion, the best bead store in Las Vegas) and so many other little lesser known stores. Years ago, there was a tiny place called Mary K's- a little arcade type place. This place has a reputation for being sketchy (I remember a realtor saying how bad it was, and I was like, "Oh, I don't live too far away from that place", which he didn't expect- that was funny). I've seen some homeless people and some druggie types, but it's fine. I doubt that the asian buses would bring their many passengers over (Korean BBQ), if they thought that their lives were in danger. There are parts of the city that I wouldn't go to, either- anyway, every city has questionable places- just be aware of your surroundings.

For what is a pretty good little restaurant mecca in town, this area isn't really well taken care of. We have so many gourmet experiences available here with Lotus of Siam, Komol and Namaste, just to name a few and yet the place is a sad little dilapidated area that has obviously been neglected for too long. With so many thriving businesses, you'd think they would make the effort to make this little strip mall much more hospitable looking. It definitely has some shady areas, including the Green Door that is located in the same complex, so I guess there's something for everyone here! It definitely needs a little help, but maybe that's the appeal of the place. Adds a certain danger to a simple dinner out. Hah.

What a fun place! Small businesses run by families, so great! Amongst the bustle of Vegas.

This is one of the weirdest area of Sin City. A complete rundown collection of strip malls that form an enclosed area. It would make a great setting for a sort of post apocalyptic drama... and yet, there's a great collection of good restaurants here that are completely fine once you get inside. In some ways, it reminded me of places in Hong Kong such as the Chungking Mansions. One thing that surprised me is that it has became somewhat trendy to come here. When I come here at night during a trade show, I always meet a bunch of people I know! It seems that it turned into one of the gathering spot for the cool crowd that are leaving "The Strip" and their overhyped and overpriced restaurants to the clueless. Make sure that you are venturing here and sample some of the businesses if you want to be part of the people that knows!

Great place, service and wonderful staff. I definitely recommend this place. Found this place on Groupon and it was definitely a great choice. I'm glad I found this place.

Seems like I haven't Yelp'd in awhile. Well, shockingly enough in all the years I've lived here, today is the first time I've visited Commercial Center. According to the website, this surprisingly used to be quite the place back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. It has the same ironic quality the Boulevard Mall has, once glamorous and filled with celebrities, now rundown, shells of their former selves. Commercial Center is different though. Over the years, it has started serving many different purposes, such as having a collective of Asian owned businesses and serving as a sort of enclave for the local LGBT community. It's a shame though, it's so grungy and the place just has a very lifeless, abandoned feel. The many business owners in this place today do seem to be trying and it seems to mean a lot to our local history, so maybe a fresh coat of paint and some good scrubbing could do wonders. It could be restored to it's former glory if it's just made more aesthetically appealing.
