Bar Pub Lounge

😠 This place is straight robbery. Grabbed a gin and soda at the bar, and that cost $15, which is absolutely insane for a simple drink like that. Then went to find a spot to sit to finish watching the Super Bowl with my friend, when the manager sent a waitress over to tell us there was a 2 drink minimu...

    This place is straight robbery. Grabbed a gin and soda at the bar, and that cost $15, which is absolutely insane for a simple drink like that. Then went to find a spot to sit to finish watching the Super Bowl with my friend, when the manager sent a waitress over to tell us there was a 2 drink minimum and check our IDs, which we both agreed to, although I was pretty perplexed since I clearly already had bought one from the bar just a couple minutes before. Then that same manager came over minutes later to tell us the spot we were sitting was “reserved” and we had to move, when there was no other seating available. Weird how that happened *after* the 2 drink minimum (which we had already placed an order for) and ID check. Anyway, long story short, if you don’t want someone in your bar because they don’t fit your douchey vibe, just tell them from the get-go. Don’t try to charge them $60 worth of drinks and then kick them out. Highly recommend avoiding this place if you can. Plenty of other great bars and casinos in the area that you can check out instead.

    It was half empty for the super bowl. They demanded a two drink minimum and took my money without telling me that I couldn’t sit anywhere in the bar because the open seating was reserved. So I paid for a $15 drink and then had to leave to sit and watch the game somewhere else. What a waste of money. And the guy in the suit scowling at everyone and making sure they were all drinking their minimums had mall cop vibes and needs to reevaluate his life choices.

    Have been here day and 🌃🌉 night. No I'm not an alcoholic, but have spent time here because I worked at the Rio. Well drinks were $5.00 and bartenders were funny, sociable and skilled in making good drinks. They always had a good group of people here enjoying the ambience and people watching in this fun casino at all times and sometimes, the bartenders would put on a show for you. Some appetizers and food items were available also.

    Inside the Rio Casino it is a really nice bar. I was meeting someone and while alone nobody bothered me. The drinks are a little expensive but strong. Bartenders were very nice and it is a good meeting place.

    Staff here ignore you. They also refuse to serve anyone in the bar unless you walk to to the bar yourself, even if you are handicapped and are unable to walk easily. Flat out refused to serve me at the couches when he walked by unless I went to the bar myself. They run out of wine for days. Just a horrible place.

    The drink was good and strong, but good luck trying to talk to anyone here. I could barely tell the bartender what I wanted. The drinks are also way overpriced, but for the sizes, I wasn’t too disappointed. Overall a fine place. No one talked to me, and I got to listen to some good music.

    It's the first bar you see when you are about to check in. You don't have to go far to get a drink. You might have to wait a bit during the busy hours. Other than that it's great! Great meet up place. Was there for a meet and greet during the star trek convention 2018.

    The Bar was great, music and Djs set the nightlife scene up wonderfully. The drinks were a little expensive but they weren't stingy shots either. The bartenders were friendly and attentive to the customers.

    We were here waiting on our rooms to be cleaned it was the only thing open other than the deli. This is located inside the Rio Hotel Do not waste your money on the Rio Hotel or anything to do with Caesars Entertainment look for my other post about the Rio Hotel

    Not a bad place to stop by and grab a drink. I prefer sitting out on the patio but there is one dilemma. When I have a drink, I occasionally like to light a cigar. They have absolutely no designated smoking area even though the patio is immense. Being a professional in the hospitality industry, you never say no to a guest. It would be a reasonable accommodation to make a small corner a smoking area. You can't tell every smoker to completely exit the premises in order to have a smoke. Other than that, great atmosphere!

    Came here during the afternoon happy hour (weekdays 3-6) for drinks and discounted appetizers. The food was all good, especially the bacon cheddar tots, although some of the servings were on the smaller side. The $5 well drinks were great - our waiter, who was also tending bar, made a fantastic vodka-based drink when I requested something fruity. Ambience and decor were pleasant, and everyone we dealt with was very friendly. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.
