Backstage Bar & Billiards

Went here during Punk Rock Bowling and it was awesome for a concert. Nice and spacious with a great placement for seating just off from the stage and enough room to crowd up around it and dance. I ended up shuffling in there from the concerts ending at Country Club next door, not sure if they're connected more than physically but that was a plus too to be able to shuffle off to the next venue. Looking forward to any future concerts here

I have never been in this venue. Last night I went first time. The venue itself is roomy enough. They have a pretty large bar. There is a lot behind the venue to park. It's fairly cheap, and it's super close to the venue. All in all, I was happy with the sound quality. They are always having bands playing, so its a great place to go catch new bands.

The venue is great. Drinks cheap and good.So I'm unsure how to give stars here. Because the event was horrible, we left after 15min. We bought tickets for the burlesque show it said starts at 9pm when we walked in 8.50pm it had already started????... but it was more a freaksjow than burlesque, reminding me of the Amazing weird show I saw at the artisan years ago only this one was 1% of that shows talent. Worst part is the weirdo presentator that felt the need to talk 5 min most not understandable between acts. The acts itself were boring, long, just watching a slow striptease honestly of ... trying to say this respectful, not women I even prefer to see naked but that's to each their own. However my male friend was the one wanting the leave because he was more annoyed and disgusted than me and I was happy to walk out too!!

Easy to get to and right at the corner of FremontWent to the bubble rave with shapeshftr headlining and had a great time!Drinks were served with a heavy pour and the staff was friendly Restrooms were clean as well

I was extremely dissatisfied with my evening there tonight. The older blonde woman working the door and taking the money was rude and short. Then, I find out that it costs 10 per person, per hour, to play pool. So, the five of us would have to choke up 50 dollars to play on a single pool table. Then, I had to run to the car to get cash, and they charged me five dollars to get back as their was "no readmittance" which they failed to tell me when I left. It's been a little while since I felt a place was so hostile and cold. I would never choose to return.

03/15/24 CONCERTMy least favorite venue in Las Vegas. Why? Because they make you stand outside waiting to get in when the door time specified everywhere online has already passed 45 minutes ago. Because you get an overpriced cocktail but then you ask for a water and they won't just "gun" you free water in a cup, instead you must pay $6.50 for a single small Crystal Geyser. (They sell 36 bottles in a pack of that same water at Costco Downtown for $5.98.) Because the sightlines are terrible and they have a VIP section off to the side where they can rake in way more cash from admissions (one wonders, does the band get any kickbacks from such nonsense?) and thus making sightlines all the more difficult. The only good thing is a single couch in the very back, if you are ADA, but if you don't get there the moment the doors open, good luck. Sadly I must attend some concerts at this venue, due to artists who rarely come to Vegas, but I try not to go here if I can.

Not the best music venue in town. For starters, the venue is small and even smaller when they have two large pool tables on the floor during concerts. Drink wise, the selection is minimal but the prices are reasonable so it's really a wash. Sound levels are usually good, but security is practically non existent which makes for a somewhat unpleasant experience if it's a too rowdy crowd. Also, the worst part is the no re-entry policy. Smoking is allowed, but since smokers cant re-enter and there's no designated smoke area, the place just fills up with second hand smoke. For the right band sometimes you have to suck it up and see them at a smaller venue which is why I've been to this venue a few times in the past, but I really hope they change a few of their policies to make it a more enjoyable experience for all attendees.

With the lack of small venues featuring Rock music in Las Vegas Backstage Bar & Billiards is a breath of fresh air. Tired of seeing your favorite indy act reduced to thirty minutes at a festival with fifty other artists for $199? Check out the line-up including a recent visit from The Appleseed Cast and an upcoming show from Cursive. Easy in and out, plenty of close parking and tons of local eateries like Carson Kitchen nearby plus excellent acoustics - can't really ask for more.

Saw a friends band play here. Venue itself isn't bad as far as a band goes. Bar was a little expensive for a dive style environment (especially after paying $20 to get in) while concerts of headlining bands on Fremont Street were free. Billiards was the loosest term I've ever seen. One 7ft (standard size) table, Couldn't even have a real slate table?

Great venue, but I was disappointed the headline band was advertised at 8pm but didn't come out until much later than that. I expected their to be a warm up band beforehand, but no band even started until 9pm, I waited until shortly after 10pm then only the 2nd warm up band started, so I left. This is false advertisement to get ppl in the door early. Not to mention probably the most expensive bottles of water in town $6
