This was the first establishment that I set foot into when I first rolled into town two and a half years ago, and it is still one of my favorite dives around. Its just the kind of dirty, loud, and eclectic place you'd love to find when trying to avoid the usual trappings of Las Vegas. Most nights at the Double Down Saloon have ended with a great story to tell, be it the bands or the patrons involved.
Speaking of the bands, they are pretty well hit or miss, but they are always free to watch and usually extend into the long hours of the early morning. Some of the best bands that I've seen in Vegas have been at the Double Down, and so have some of the worst. The television sets play a continuous cacophony of classic live punk videos, b-grade mid-20th century film footage, and the lowest budget soft core porn these eyes have ever seen. They have some of the worst pool tables in town and the place is covered in unknown punk band's stickers and some very well done graffiti, yet it is all part of the Double Down's amazing allure. I love this place and I will always return!
