I came here for a Jungle Rot concert and was not disappointed. The Dive Bar lives up to its namesake. If not for the overwhelming stench of cigarette smoke that literally left me coughing, smelling like an ash tray, and made my eyes burn this would have been a 5 star review.
Reasons why I love this bar:
#1 Cheap drinks! $3 PBRs and $4 Vodka Crans.
#2 The concert "stage" lets fans get up close and personal with the band.
#3 The bathrooms are hilarious. They're plastered with vulgarities and nonsense, but they were clean at least (Although there weren't any toilet seat covers...).
#4 They play Cannibal Corpse. C'mon, it doesn't get any cooler than that.
FUN FACT: The Dive Bar was on Bar Rescue! Someone please tell me what episode this is on.
The Dive Bar is located right across from UNLV. If I lived on-campus, you bet your ass I'd be there all the time.
GOOD TO KNOW: There is no security here. It's every man for himself. There were a few fights that almost broke out, but the crowd did a good job at breaking things up. The mosh pit got kind of crazy. A tiny girl got blind-sighted sitting at a table near the back of the bar, was thrown out of her chair, and ended up getting a concussion. Geez.
Worth a Return Visit?
I wish Dive Bar was closer! It's a bit of a Trek from my usual hang out spots. I'd always be down to see a concert there, though.
