| - I wish I had read further into the reviews, where I would have found out that their Happy Hour at night is mainly beer and well drinks. I was excited to try a new place out, so me and the BGB went and checked out the place after his shift at work. The bartender was really nice, but the only person in there at midnight-ish on a Friday night. Apparently the kitchen closes around that time, but he was still able to get us some bar food. He was really nice though, so good customer service always rates high with me.
We split some chicken fingers and fries, which were good. Nothing breakthrough about them, but they certainly weren't bad. Apparently you have to get there a little earlier to get the full menu. Tab came out to about $27... most of it were my two Long Beach Iced Teas (at full price) vs. BGB's two Cran-Vodkas (at happy hour price).
But the place was just so dead. It was almost uncomfortably dead, as the only people in there for a while was me, the BGB, the bartender, and two other guys. On a Friday night. Now, I know Henderson's not exactly the swingin' night spot that older brother Las Vegas is, but still, that was super-dead for a bar. One review said it was super smoky, but I certainly didn't have that problem. It was fine to me. There wasn't really anyone even in there to smoke!
Not a bad spot. May check it out again someday, seeing as it's right down the road.
Oh, one more note: People were complaining that Steelz is a "gay bar" and it's like the downfall of good wholesome Henderson or some BS. Steelz is about as much a "gay bar" as Del Taco is "authentic Mexican" or Fox News is "news." Maybe it's gay-owned, gay-friendly and gay-welcoming, but it's not a gay bar. It's a bar. It's 2012. Get over it, people.
