😠 If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This might have been the worst experience I have ever had at a bar. The bartender was rude and extremely unprofessional. This establishment “lost” my credit card after giving it to the bartender to open a tab. When it came time to tab out, they stated they...

    We just went for Burlesque Bingo - HOW MUCH fun & blew my expectations! I honestly was expecting a show to be on the cheesy side and it was absolutely impressed with the immersive talent representing shows from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. We will definitely be back next month!!!

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This might have been the worst experience I have ever had at a bar. The bartender was rude and extremely unprofessional. This establishment “lost” my credit card after giving it to the bartender to open a tab. When it came time to tab out, they stated they had given me my card back, which did not happen. The bartender who took my card was clearly drunk while she was working and then proceeded to get obliterated at the end of the bar when she ended her shift. She then proceeded to get an attitude with me when I said she didn’t give me my card back. Overall, a horrible experience with an unprofessional bartending staff. Avoid this place at all cost.

    Gorgeous old-Vegas vibes! A great place to hang out with friends and make new friends. A wonderful space to be in a show -- or to participate in an Open Mike!

    Ever since learning about the Mint 400 when we moved here, I’ve been nagging my bride to take me. Especially lately given that we moved to the same neighborhood in February. We wanted to wait until we had some cash to spend, that way we could hang out and have a cocktail or two and really soak in some old school Vegas history. Well, that’s just isn’t going to happen, I guess. We were all set to go a couple of nights ago. I was wearing a polo shirt and decent pair of shorts with pretty much brand new Reebok’s. My wife was wearing a tank top combo shirt, nice pair of shorts and a new pair of Vans. I mention our clothing because that’s the only thing we could’ve been judged on and judged we were. It’s a two door security entrance. The outside door was open and you have to ring the bell to be let in the second door. We rang the bell and waited about 60-90 seconds. Looked around the entrance for signage with directions in case we were missing something. Rang again. Nothing. Not even a “sorry, we’re too high on our own stink to deal with the likes of you”. I could see the bar tender and i understand the neighborhood he works in given that we live there. Without being stupid about it, i pulled the cash i had out of my pocket and casually held up the wad. Still nothing. It was very clearly we were not welcome in the place I’ve wanted to check out since moving here. No explanation, not even an acknowledgment of my existence at his door. We ended up walking over to Palace Station and despite my disappointment and annoyance, as well as bewilderment about why we were treated so poorly by The Mint, we had a nice evening. I guess The Mint pays their bartender quite well. So well in fact, he can turn down what ended up being a $30 tip to go with what was a $130 food and beverage tab we ended up spending at Palace. Then there’s the roughly $100 spent gaming. I’m pretty laid back and clean cut in my appearance. I would like an explanation as to what we did to be denied entry but , i suppose since he didn’t have the class to at least acknowledge us long enough to tell us to move along then, it would be an overestimation on my part to presume they care about their reviews from the common public enough to read them, let alone respond to them.

    Pretty cool little place. Locals place too. Neat drinks, decent prices. No food or snacks which is a bummer. Great service!

    I did not know this was a cigar bar as well. The bar is simple and very small. But because of the cigar smell that lingers on you I most definitely will not be coming back.

    July 28th was my first experience at The Mint Tavern. I'm a local, independent ballroom dance instructor and I was looking for a fun place for my students & myself to experience some Swing dancing "out on the town." One of my students had heard of The Mint Tavern so I decided that we should check it out. We attended the Swing class at 7:30 followed by social dancing at 8:30. Right away when I entered The Mint, Kurt, the bartender made me feel comfortable and at home. To my surprise, Kurt and I already knew each other from another previous establishment that he used to work at. It was such a wonderful surprise to see him again!! I truly had missed him. The Swing class was fun & the instructors were awesome and patient with the beginners. The core crowd was very friendly. My students felt comfortable and had a blast! I know that we all will be back.

    Really weird vibe here. Can’t put my finger on it. Bartender late last night looked like he was in some kind of trance, like he wanted to murder people. Really creepy and off putting. We left as soon as we noticed his weird behavior. Another note- A lot of the people here seem to be regulars, and it is very apparent when you’re an outsider.

    The bar is a typical Vegas old school tavern, but the unique thing is the magic show in the little theater! It's called Martinis and Magic starring James Dimmare. Fun, amazing and VERY old school hip!

    Excellent locals bar in Vegas with swing dancing every Friday! Highly recommend if you’re into swing dancing or a “local” experience.

    The open mic was great. Somewhat disorganized. And there weren't any police there. Anytime I go to play a guitar normally there's police there. I just don't feel comfortable any other way. Hopefully next time I come over there be some police sooner or later. And then we'll crack a keg and have a beer.

    The Mint is as classic as the Golden Steer next door. Stephanie is an excellent bartender and makes an outstanding Old Fashioned. Wife and I had drinks before dinner at The Golden Steer. I can't recommend it enough.

    Really liked this bar, not too busy but great vibe. Came right when a swing lesson was starting which looked super fun, we would've stayed if we didn't have dinner reservations. Will definitely come back sometime to try it. Cute decor and lighting.

  • 5/5 Rachel D. 8 months ago on Google
    Great drinks at this spot. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and it was super chill with a nice bartender. Seems like they do a lot of entertainment at night. Will return next visit!

  • 4/5 Rochelle R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to hang out. Great way to meet interesting new friends in an a cool atmosphere. The management has great events like Swing dance nught and Burlesque Bingo. The bartenders are friendly and great conversationalists . A unique blend of patr ons and this place is a great hidden gem. The only thing that could be better is to serve food, but there is a sandwich shop and popular, historic Golden steer next door!

  • 5/5 Beck G. 11 months ago on Google
    Super chill bar right off of the freeway. There was a nice quiet room part of the venue that I was able to sit in while figuring out my plans for the rest of the night. I appreciate the vibes.

  • 4/5 Karin Ambrose T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for locals...but just check their calendar if you don't want to be there during swing dancing or other events in the back room.

  • 4/5 LindaNJeff Kapovich (Happy K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great time! Easy going bartender and fun clientele. Kick back and enjoy conversation or play a video machine. They actually let you win sometimes, which makes it so fun!!!!!! Reasonable drink prices and well made drinks!!!!!!!!

  • 5/5 Michael W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a cool little place with cheap drinks. We always stop for a couple before dinner next door at the Golden Steer. Always good service!

  • 5/5 Juliette M. 1 year ago on Google

    This place is super cute! I've always heard negative stuff about the mint, but I went for my first time and had an awesome time. Everyone there including customers where friendly. And Sarah is super awesome! I'll definitely be back

  • 4/5 Lisa K. 2 years ago on Google
    Old Vegas!! Lots of history and dive bar charm! Bartenders are great. Really enjoyed the Martinis and Magic show. The guy had some great tricks and even better stories of the old days!

    Be careful ordering top self at the bar. Make sure you watch them carefully as we found out ordering our drinks tonight as they tried to go to the well instead.

  • 4/5 T B. 2 years ago on Google
    I'd give the magic show a solid 3.5 stars. The act was entertaining and did evoke a feel from an earlier era. Sone of the jokes may have went around the younger folks who weren't there. The seating was laid out well and apportioned from the bar area so that you could really engage with the show.
