    One of the best gay bars I went to in Las Vegas. The bar has an open floor plan. Off to one side is the rectangle bar, in the back is the kitchen, and in the middle is more seating. In one corner they have an area that people play video games. The bartenders were friendly and eager to help. Drinks were strong and reasonably priced. Check their facebook website for drink specials and nightly events. They also have great food options. They have some killer marketing and branding. The video poker at the bar is popular and fun way to pass the time.

    On at least one of our days in Las Vegas we always get off the strip and look for unique/unusual places. We never have a method we just drive around and check out what we stumble in without looking up reviews. The Phoenix Bar and Lounge was a nice find. From the outside we didn’t know what to expect. It looked like it could be a little rough, but this couldn’t have been further from the truth. Inside you find a super clean and friendly gay bar. The staff was very nice and they were generous with free drinks while we played video poker. You can tell this is a locals spot and people really enjoy it. There are also a couple pool tables and darts. We already had lunch but shared the buffalo cauliflower and it was delicious. Excellent hot wing flavor. I saw some other food as it was delivered and it all looked great, so I would definitely go back for lunch or dinner.

    So tonight, I went to the Phoenix bar for the very first time. It was a good environment and good drinks. My friend and I made a few orders of drinks. The last time I ordered, I noticed the price was a bit more than before. I simply mentioned it to the bartender. I wasn't upset or anything. Well, the bartender/manager with the muscles and man bun says to me "oh, I'm sorry I'm gonna give you "THE HOMEBOY DISCOUNT". I laughed but really, I was a hit offended inside about it. He brings the receipt and says see, I gave you "THE HOMEBOY DISCOUNT"! First off, I didn't ask for a discount. I simply mentioned the price difference. I still tipped though but as good as the first. Stereotypes and prejudice are just as bad in our community as anywhere else!!

    Popped in for an afternoon drink with some friends and loved this spot! Everyone is welcome, the video poker machines are hot, and our bartender Jordan was a delight - excellent customer service skills. I will definitely return.. thank you for the great service and cool bar vibe

    Our friends took us here and we had an awesome time. Hopefully we can come back some day. We got some champagne on the house once they heard my fiancé and I were getting married. Great experience!

    Everyone has a friendly vibe. The bar is inviting and easy-going. We are non-drinkers but still were treated like we were spending big bucks on drinks. Moya and Jordan have been especially helpful as we are new to Las Vegas. Other bartenders are equally friendly and helpful. I believe this is our Vegas go-to place!!!

    I had asked a question regarding a food allergy and the bartender proceeded to make fun of me and call me names and getting the chef in with it too when my food came out. It made me feel extremely unwelcomed and belittled for asking a question and that was the last time I ever go back.

    **Had to go back and try some other goodie’s! Can’t believe I can get food like this at a neighborhood bar! Christian also made a drink you’d expect to see in a magazine so I had to grab a shot of that as well. This time I tried the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Crispy Chicken Sliders. Spectacular service and unexpectedly great food! Arguably the best tomato bisque I’ve ever had. Certainly rivals most fine dining restaurant I’ve been to in the soup category lol! Also, perfectly toasted grilled cheese. Your mama can’t make it any better! You can taste the love. ❤️ Bartenders were prompt, attentive, aware and demonstrated excellent hospitality. Great job guys!

    Overall, this is a really great gay bar with friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks, and really good food. It has the feel of a small town gay bar where everybody welcomes in the new people. I was there on two nights: Friday’s Drag Race viewing party, which was a freaking blast. The dancers were super hot and a lot of fun. Saturday night, it was like a “straight night” and the vibe was completely different. If you go on an off night, give it another chance because it really is a great little bar!!

    Absolutely fantastic. Steven and Christian were both amazing bartenders, helped me find a great drink. Despite being out of what I originally wanted, they found a substitute I liked EVEN BETTER. Plus the drag show was fun. 10/10 I'll definitely be back. If you decide to come here, try to get either of these amazing gentlemen if they're available.

    This is the only gay bar for us. I’ve been going here for too many years to say I’ll age myself then lol but the day I met my now husband we went here for Drinks after meting. So after many years being together and going here often my husband n I got married on the 30th. So after the wedding we wanted to go to the bar after with about 30 of our guest from the wedding. I messaged Gabriel and he advised me they were having a huge event the same day but he would insure we were taken care of. We really were taken care of, he had tables set up already reserved signs on the tables. We arrived and they provided us two bottles of champagne at no cost I was shocked but so appreciative. Then the bartenders kept checking on everyone in my party. People who had never been there said they have already been back. The food is amazing and priced perfectly, the drinks are made with love for sure, and the environment is so welcoming. We had many straight guys come with us and they loved it they felt comfortable and had a blast. Thank you Phoenix for making our night perfect, we couldn’t of asked for a better way to end our celebration night.

    Elevated bar food with a Phoenix flair. Taconauts are the go-to late night craving. Barry serving up the hot fresh pie! Taconauts, steak sliders, and supreme pizza pictured.

    One of my favorite after work places to go for a one-and-done beer or cocktail before heading home. The staff it’s really nice, and as the new guy in town, made me really feel welcome. It quickly felt like home and I was like Norm from Cheers. As infrequent as I go, I’m always merry with smiles and a couple of hugs and handshakes. Exactly the kind of vibe I was looking for. The food is good and they always have something going on. Karaoke is fun. See you soon.

    right when you walk in you’re greeted by friendly bartenders who are very helpful and attentive! We all felt loved and welcomed as soon as we entered. There is nothing bad about this place! I will return each time I go to Las Vegas!

    Last night was my first time here and it was amazing! Atmosphere, food, drinks, music, all made a wonderful night. But what makes this place really special is the staff. Jennifer gave us the VIP experience and made it one of the best nights you could ask for when you go out. Shout out to Landon, Shane, Shannon, Hunter, Zoey, Dalton, DJK, and Christian for taking such good care of us. This place is perfect for anyone and everyone who want to have a good time!

    I was there for Halloween and usually I come and can't stop dancing but the dj that night seemed to be a one trick pony. I love Reggaeton but come on! Play some hits that people who have been drinking want to hear! I added a picture of no one dancing. It happened for like 50 minutes. I'll be back but, let's have a mix new guy 😅

    This place GREAT! Friendly Staff, Fun vibes yet just really chill bar culture here. Came to check out what music they had going on & Was Knocked Out by the Karaoke Talent that showed up for Sunday Night. In addition to a really good time, this place Has some Pretty good Freakin Pizza & other Menu items from what I could see at other tables. I will be back. Don't hesitate to come here. You will be welcomed & feel very comfortable no matter what part of the Spectrum of life you are from.🌈 😉

    I’m new to Vegas and came here with friends for their glow party. I was immediately welcomed by strangers and given glowing temp tats all over as well as other glowing accessories! No cover charge and the staff took great care of me and my friends. Will definitely be going back!

    I don't even drink but I still love coming here for the food and entertainment! The staff and chef are so nice. The portions are huge for the price. When I got my leftovers to go the chef packed them up with "enjoy" in a heart written on the top. Can't beat this! Plus the free entertainment is always legit. 11/10!

  • 5/5 Mike S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar. Has a bit of character about it. Good entertainment, friendly staff, not overpriced. I’ll definitely visit again next time I’m in vegas.

    Brought my uncles and aunt here for a random drop in on a Tuesday, and we had a lot of fun. The bartenders were great, the drag show was entertaining, and there were plenty of seats for us to hang out. I can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner!

  • 2/5 Ernesto N. 1 year ago on Google
    Ah I had such high hopes for this bar. It was Friday and they were going to show RuPaul so my man and I went early to get a seat. Get there, get a seat at the bar and order drinks. So far so good. Then it started going downhill. Ru isn't on until 9pm. Why? Cuz, I guess. They had their own drag show, which was ok. We were getting hungry so we placed a good order, tenders and onion rings. It took about 40 minutes to get them. Not because they were busy, but because the bartender forgot to I'vet the order. Once he told us he did that, we were pretty much ignored when our drinks were empty. I had to flag other bartenders to get a drink. 9 pm arrives and the drag show is still going, 915, still going. We ended up leaving right after. Not one to go back to, though I will say, it's a great looking bar.

    Best straight friendly Gay bar in Vegas, and one of the very few with clean (no cigerrets) air. Service is awesome, food, though being a bar, is better than average, and the place is a lot of fun with Shows and Karaoke on some nights.

  • 5/5 Dries D. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar is AMAZING. The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is great and it’s cozy. I had the best time here. Catch a karaoke night if you can, you’ll find great singers here.

    This place is amazing. My wife and I got married in Vegas last weekend and came here to relax from the usual Vegas chaos. Everyone was so loving and courteous. It was a clean establishment that I would feel safe bringing my kids into. I love how the host got my wife and I involved with a skit on stage!

  • 5/5 Helen N. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in after work just for a couple of drinks. Our bartender was so cool. Great atmosphere. Well be back.

  • 5/5 lily f. 2 years ago on Google
    Our bartenders were really nice and generally knowledgeable about the area and let us know some other great places to go. The drinks were great the only bad thing is the straws were small and got lost in my drink but our bartenders made up for it!
