| - I never heard of the Sand Dollar or Bikini Bar. I came upon Bar 702 by accident turning around to head back to I-15. Bar Rescue happened to be there at the time. I made a mental note of it. Two weeks ago, the episode premiered and I've been hooked on the show since.
Initially, I didn't want to check out Bar 702 because the co-owner doctor came off so vile I didn't want to give him any of my hard earned dollars, but curiosity got the better of me and we checked it out last Friday night. We got there about 10:30, there was a $5 cover.
We figured we were in deep, now, so we bellied up to the bar. My brother tried one of the beer look alike cocktails created on the show with Crown and Caramel bitters. It was pretty terrible. Then again, I'm pretty loyal to beer so what do I know? I was happy as clam with Ballast Point Pale Ale for $5.25. They had a good list of microbrews, my husband had some squirrel beer that was mighty tasty.
Strange Mistress took the stage. We really enjoyed the show. I've been in Vegas ten years, been in and out of dive bars, but never any with live music with such a great set up. The sound system was impressive. We stayed for Meade Ave. Played some video poker between bands and my husband managed to win some coin hitting a couple 4OAKs. Staff wasn't too friendly, but they kept beers coming. They were cold and reasonably priced. That's all I really ask.
