Double Down Saloon

This place is awesome, there's so much to see and take pictures of. Every inch of that place was covered in stickers it was awesome. It's like punk rock heaven for a punk rockers. The parking lot is a little small, but we took an Uber there so we did not have to worry about that. The place is not huge inside but they have a bar and places to sit with tables around. They also have a juke box which was amazing, and a vending machine, awesome touch. The bathrooms are amazing to look at you. There's so much to see inside there. It's not the cleanest place but what do you expect for a punk rock bar? It's for music and drinking and having a great time with awesome people and friends. We got invited and wanted to support our friends play and watch all the bands play. 4 bands were playing Raptors, Hardship anchors Vegas villains and The Gringos which our friend was playing in so we came to support everyone. Our friend has a recording studio called Straightjacket studios, he recorded the album for the Raptors plus many other bands, and his other friend we met we had dinner with was in Vegas Villains they were awesome. Gringos did an incredible job they were last of the night the show didn't end till after 2am. Everyone did a badass job we had so much fun! Love seeing local bands and just any kind of live music, always soothes the soul. I was so exhausted and in pain from the quick and long drive up but I didn't care was worth it all. All the employees are really nice here too. We got our drinks quickly and they were pretty strong. I was happy to be able to sit down and watch the show, hung out with everybody and had a great time. Thank you to my best friend and her husband and everybody in the band for showing us a great time for playing an amazing show. This place is awesome. I love the name. I thought it really was a salute, but it's a punk rock bar. It's a cool place at checking it out. If that was you they also have slot machines you could play as well. Have a beautiful day :)Aloha

Brett aka won't give his nickname. Was a gem had a perfect afternoon drinking and gambling thanks for a fun time! And the ass juice

Love the Double Down Saloon! The best dive bar in Las Vegas. You can sit at the bar and watch old movies or play some video poker. There's a Photo Booth for everyone to take a photo for a few bucks or play pool. Some nights there is a band from different genres.

My friend had found this bar somewhere on the internet & wanted to check it out. I was a little hesitant after checking out the pictures on Yelp but I'm always game for checking out new spots (to me) in Vegas. We had gone to a show @ the Virgin hotel this past Sunday afternoon & had decided to head over here after. Its funny because I have been to another business right across the street & can't say I remember seeing this bar when I was there. I already kinda knew what to expect prior to entering as I had seen the pictures & read some reviews on Yelp. Placed looked like the pictures. We sat @ the bar & was greeted right away by the bartender Samson and he took our drink orders & I had asked him if I could get a player's card. He wasn't able to get me one on his 1st try some computer issues but then had checked the system & grabbed my ID again and gave me a card. We gambled a little bit & had a couple of drinks. I had asked what was in the ass juice but it was a secret & he wouldn't tell me...lol So that was a No for us, though the toilet bowls its served in is sooo cute. $20 if you want to purchase one. There was a pool table & a photo booth. Photos cost $5.00. I LOVE photo booths & totally forget to get some pics before I left. They have a little vending machine with some snacks in it. Thank God I didn't have to use the bathroom because I was too scared to go in there & touch anything yet alone sit on the toilet seat, which I wouldn't have after seeing the pics...lolI don't know how this place isn't a big infection risks due to all the stickers & I'm guessing all the little germs that can/may crawl under the edges but I'm guessing the state allows this. There were a lot of money bills hanging from the ceiling above the bar that had been written all over & I did notice off to the side there was 4 poker machines all together which seemed like a cool area, one of them wasn't working. There wasn't many customers in there. We were probably there around 7pm on a Sunday night. I'd definitely stop in here again if friend's wanted to check it out or if I was in the area. Samson gave us great attention & service. Thanks!

Fun bar with a lot of cheap drinks. It may be in kind of a sketchy location, but that helps make it cool to be honest. Double Down Saloon isn't a country bar. More like punk and metal to be like it. They also play cool music videos. Avoided this place for a long time because I thought it was a country bar. It's actually not of course. This is pretty close to UNLV. Lots of craziness. The best thing is the prices. It's about $5 for cocktails. There's a shit ton of whiskey. Hip atmosphere. There's screens up all over the place and they play funny music videos like Cheech and Chong and that kind of stuff. Cheap drinks and loud music. It's a pretty good description of it for sure. There's certainly better looking places but who cares about that though.

One time I had this friend with a super annoying girlfriend. She wanted to go clubbing and I convinced him and her to join me at the double down first. She walked in wearing a red sequined club dress and it's a top 5 funniest thing I've ever seen. The double down is the greatest dive bar in Las Vegas and I want to say America but I haven't done enough research. Come for the dollars on the wall stay for the ass juice and metal bands.

Rare 5 Star Dive Bar ReviewOne of the great dive bars in the entire country.I have been traveling to Vegas for over 25 years.... it is the one place I continually go and fine new and interesting things to do. One thing that has been a "staple" if you will is the DoubleDown Saloon! "The happiest place on earth" as they call it. Yeah a dive bar through and through.... grungy, dark, dank maybe even a bit scary if you really look at it. But honestly you are doing yourself an injustice if you don't give it a try. This is probably the most non-pretentious place I have ever been in. Everyone is welcome and no one judges. You are there for a reason... to have a drink or two, or three.... or more! Their tag line says it all "SHUT UP AND DRINK!"So put your on your jeans, your shorts, you suit, your whatever and go. Belly up to the bar and decide what you want, they have most everything, bacon martini..... they claim to the the home of it.... yes I have tried it, but actually, go for the house drink... ASS Juice (AJ)! Yes, not the most delectable name, but it is really good! Don't ask for the recipe because it's a secret and all the bartenders have their own twist. Go at the right time of the day and get an AJ and PBR special!Plan on hitting it really hard while you are there... well, buy the puke insurance for $20!Are you getting the drift here..... it's all about going, having a great time and making some acquaintances that maybe you never thought possible. Play some old punk rock on the jukebox. Go on a night they have entertainment and it is always free! Go in the morning, go in the afternoon, go at night, doesn't really matter, just go. Let your guard down and just have fun. Buy the tee shirt, buy the toilet bowl shot glass, but the zippo to remember what a great time you are going to have, even if it is you and the bartender, just make it your time to have fun! I do, every time!Thanks

I review the Double Down so much because I love it so much.Please forgive me if should repeat what I've said before. It's divey AF, but in the best way. It's mostly chill locals who are regulars and the occasional tourist like me.For us, it's strictly day drinking and playing video poker at Butter's bar. Butters is a rock start bartender, which why we sit at his bar whenever we're in town. I'll repeat my admonition that generally speaking the best of Las Vegas will not be found on the strip. Uber, Lyft, and Yelp are your friends. Cheers!

Slipped into this dive bar before dinner, vibes were unmistakably fun and funky. Drinks were exactly what you'd want, good price, strong, and they kept coming! The crowd was a mix of super nice and super drunk, adding to the authenticity of the experience for 6pm. It was like everyone there was part of the dive bar's character. Easily the best dive bar in Vegas, no competition!

I started going to the Double Down circa 2006 after I saw Anthony Bourdain pay it a visit. In the following eighteen years, I've yet to have anything but a complete blast in the place. It's dark. It's smoky. There's video poker. All the music in the juke box is carefully curated punk. It's open twenty four hours. Patrons can purchase a certain insurance (if you know, you know). What could there possibly be here that wouldn't make a person happy? I have lived in the central time zone for the past twenty years, so I only make it out to Vegas about twice a year or so, so can't say I'm a regular at the place. My usual flight into Vegas generally lands at seven o'clock in the morning, and for many years, the Double Down has been my first stop immediately after getting out of the airport. Even at that hour, you're likely to find a story to tell. I even took my daughter here when she graduated from college, and she loved the place! Then she took a couple of her friends after I had left town! The Double Down is now a family tradition! As virtually everything else in Vegas gets worse and worse and exorbitantly more expensive, I've still got the oasis of everything good and exactly what a darkened room serving booze with a side of good-natured attitude should be! Thanks so much for the first eighteen years, Double Down! Here's to many more!
