| - This is the best place to do some serious drinking in Vegas.
Although prices "varied" a bit, the typical price for a mixed drink and two beers for me and my crew was about 6.50$.
Cathy the Korean bartender is a real pro, and the best bartender in Vegas.
Other patrons range from iron-workers from nearby construction sites, to longtime locals, to cool old friendly black dudes that play good soul music on the jukebox, to down-and-out sorts.
A perfect day is to go to Elliss Island down the street for steak and eggs breakfast--4.99--then head to the Stage Door to get your early morning into late afternoon drink on.
The hot dogs were good at 1.50-- or free if you have bought a few rounds. The other food is of the toss into that single deep fryer variety and thus is best avoided.
Like so many other reviews about "dives" on here, this place separates the men from the boys. If you don't like people and are looking for "irony" rather than reality, you should probably stay away. The patrons here aren't looking to amuse you, they are in the middle of a shift, or looking to drink, or need this place cuz it's what they can afford.
You throw off attitude here and you are likely to get an earful from the bartender or worse. Those union boys in the suspenders don't suffer fools gladly.
On the other hand, there are lots of cool people to talk to here and I can't think of a better place for spending some quality time on a bar stool.
It will be a sad day 21 years from now when they lose their lease!
