| - If you love the 49ers, then this is THE bar to be at on game day! Strolled in here solo because my other plans for the day got changed, and being a 49er faithful seeing the gigantic "This is 49ers Country" sign outside, I figured I would see how it was...
Low and behold I should have slapped myself for not coming in here before because all the other sports bars I've been to in the area pale in comparison to the sea of Red & Gold that I became engulfed in when I stepped inside. And let me tell you on game day, the place is PACKED! (And so is the parking lot, so get here a little early) Great atmosphere and decor, great fans and friendly people who all love the Niners. (except for the occasional fan from the opposing team, who walked into the wall when he came out of the bathroom! LMAO) You can tell that a lot of the people watching the game have actually gone to Candlestick Park because there was the trademark cry "WOOO, WOOO, WOOO!!!" whenever we got a 1st down, and the "Let's go Niners, LET'S GO!!" chants! It almost felt like I was at a bar in SF! Loved it! It was so packed that the group of fans that I befriended were using a pool table as our hangout. And it eventually became our table spread with all the food and drinks we ordered.
And speaking about the drinks and food, let me say that this is A BAR first, that happens to serve food. They have game day specials for beer and grub that are priced very well. The quality of the food on the other hand was average (for a bar) and after sampling the pizza, french fries, onion rings, chicken fingers & chicken wings I would have to say I could only recommend the pizza. The crust was nice an doughy on top but crispy on the bottom and the toppings and cheese were pretty good. The weirdest thing I ate were the chicken wings that I had ordered with buffalo sauce. The wings were tossed in COLD SAUCE from the refrigerator. Who does that?!! As for the service we received, it was pretty good compared to the food. The waitresses in our area were very attentive and friendly, checking in on us throughout the game, and our orders came out in a fairly timely manner considering how busy it was.
With all the foodies in Vegas, if they put in an actual chef and came up with a better menu like some other sports bars around here, this place would get better reviews and more business on non game days. But hey, there are plenty of great places to eat just up the road on Rainbow. What you come here for is to have drinks and hang out with like minded fans to cheer on the San Francisco 49ers!!
