Jay StankSeptember 15, 2016Dive bar is extremely misleading. Amazing beer list and stunning well crafted cocktails. A must if you want to get away from the strips shitty 20$ rum and cokes.

FindYourCESDecember 30, 2014Vegas' oldest freestanding bar w/ its original neon sign. Named for the "Atomic Cocktails" the first patrons sipped on the roof while watching mushroom clouds explode from the nearby Nevada Test Site.Upvote19Downvote
KimFebruary 18, 2017Great option downtown! I wouldn't put it in the top cocktails I've had, but much better than most of the atrocities in big plastic tubes that flow in Vegas. Good mix of locals and non-bro travelers.

Not quite the dive you might expect. Actually a high end craft beer and cocktail bar with dive-ish trappings. I had a Manhattan like a bougie a-hole and it was terrific.Upvote2Downvote
Adam NowekJune 15, 2015There was a famous cover photo of Time taken from the roof here while people watched nuclear bomb tests. Now they have the best beer selection in the city.Upvote3Downvote- Katie WhalonNovember 27, 2018Right off Fremont St, the oldest free-standing bar in LV. Rotating taps, intense mix drinks & a huge working neon sign make this place a must-try. Atomic bomb testing used to be viewed from the roof.UpvoteDownvote

G. SaxSeptember 13, 2021The neighborhood is growing up around this gem in Fremont East, and the space seems to be holding on to its no-frills attitude while also attempting to flirt with the area's new denizens.UpvoteDownvote
Brad HagerMay 13, 2017Extensive beer list, decent cocktails, lot's of outdoor patio seating. Kinda plain decor, good music, nice bar tenders.UpvoteDownvote

- Trinity SchlottmanDecember 9, 2009one of the few places to buy hard liquor in downtown but the place is hard core. it is a bar and a liquor store. the bartender has to buzz you in the front door.Upvote1Downvote
