| - This is a large bar basically, but they happen to serve really flavorful food and unusually low prices for vegas. It's not "cheap" food, but what you do get for what they charge is good. We skip the carvery section (pricey) and just order the rest of the menu.
If you like pretzels, theirs are good. Best dip is the ware rarebit appetizer. Lobster rolls are great, the mini pastrami sandwiches are a win as well. They do a burger with pastrami added, it's also good.
The real treat is the shepards pie. the beef inside is flavor packed and it's just a big hot cast iron skillet of comfort food. The skirt steak with ribeye chili on top is also flavorful and a definite winner.
They do a really good twist on a manhattan called The Excellent Crystal. Oh and they have a ton of beers on tap as well. Honestly if you wanted to sit and just eat bar food, drink draft beer and watch sports, i'd go here (and often do). If you make it to dessert, the bread pudding is delicious.
Now the bar games...
Around the bar you'll find up lit small hourglasses. They are set to 7 second. Order any pint (Guinness is really the best bet for speed). With hand on glass, but glass on bar, they flip the hourglass, you drink. no side drafting beer out of your mouth and nothing left over and you get the pint for free.
Before you get excited, you can only do it twice I believe. Which brings us to the next game, Make a shot, take a shot. They have a couple basketball hoops on teh bar (it's easier now than it used to be), sink the nerf ball, free shot. They have made this easier.
Solid food, good flavor, reasonable prices and on strip. Pretty rare.
