Writing about Dino's Lounge on Yelp is kinda like telling everyone where your favorite fishing hole is. You don't want it to be spoiled. You want to protect it and keep all to yourself... But I do find wisdom in this quote from Churchill... " If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it" so I will share. Also, there has already been 58 reviews so the cat is out of the bag!!!!
Okay - so I prefer a cool hang out place over a club or pretentious Blue Martini kinda place any day. On top of that - this may be the best Karoake joint in the west.
The place is basic. It is a bar. Nobody trying too hard here. A couple of pool tables. I love the chairs with that dark red vinyl reminicent of the early 80's. Low ceilings. It is big enough but not too big. It has that dive bar charm with out being a shithole. It has landed on the fine line of being a cool hangout dive instead of a run down gross old bar where the owners don't care.
The Two bartenders were making drinks and serving them fast. Which was good.
The place on a Saturday night got packed around 11:oo or so. The best part of this place is the clientelle. It is a mix of everyone! People just having fun. The people are friendly. All types. I feel at home at a place where peeps just want to have a good time and didn't go somewhere just to be seen...
This is easily the best karoake Joint in Vegas! The KJ keeps things moving and mixes it up pretty good. What really makes this place better ...... again... the crowd. Nobody singing downer stuff like "Feelings" or slow crap. It was all fun upbeat foot stompers toe tapping sing-along feel good tunes! One gal got up and killed some "2 live Crew" follow up by the best Sinatra I have ever seen! Dudes got up and nailed "baby's got back" & "Devil Went Down To Georgia" it was cool!!!
Oh and BTW - There was a tv monitor playing some 70's porn in the corner of the bar. Not sure what that was about but I can appreciate the artistic nature of it.
In the event someone rates this place less than 4stars - I would say that person was just in the wrong place.
