| - We've only been here 2 times and already the bartender remembered us. My girlfriend and I stopped by for some late night Happy Hour prior to catching a show at the Cosmo. The trip to Max Brenner sucked since we were walking there from the Cosmo in uncomfortable shoes... I knew I should've worn some Adidas! When we got there, the place was packed! Not a surprise, since it was happy hour. We had to sit at the very end of the bar, which wasn't very comfortable. The server was really attentive though. The moment the group of girls on our left side exited, she cleaned off the bar top for us and had us scoot down so we could be more comfy.
Pros:
* Super cheap happy hour. $5.00 drinks and if its not on the menu, they can make it for you (as long as they have the alcohol.. .which they probably do).
* Waffle Fries !!!!
* Attentive service and very nice ambiance
* Flat screens at the bar and is usually on Sports Channels for all you sport fans.
* They have a little Chocolate shop next to the bar.
Cons:
* located inside Caesar's, which can actually be a plus (shopping and food in one stop), but when you are coming strictly for Brenner's, you have to find a parking spot and walk through the casino, etc. to get there. Good thing we just walked this time.
* Food portions are pretty small, but surprisingly filling... It's gotta be the alcohol!
* We didn't try it this time, but we did our first visit: Banana Tempura Fondue. It sounds good right? I was thinking something along the lines of a deep fried ice cream (like you can get at some Japanese Restaurants), but that was not the case. The Banana itself was all mushy. My gf and I are pretty daring with food and the textures of food doesn't bother us much, but this one was just a no-go! It tasted like mush doused with sugar. I liked the idea and am a fan of Bananas, Tempura, and Fondue. This particular menu though is an epic fail.
The sliders are amazing. You get 2 sliders per order and comes with some waffle fries, which are basically crisscut fries. You can get a pretty good buzz going and satisfy your late night cravings for a pretty decent price at Max Brenner's. It's hard to find a decent happy hour on the strip. This is definitely one of my favorite Las Vegas Strip Happy Hours!
Tips:
* Ask for a side of Chocolate Ranch for your fries and sliders! Bomb!
* Don't be shy to ask the Bartender about the different drinks they offer. Also ask them for recommendations. They are super friendly and helpful when it comes to that.
* Say no to Drugs and Banana Tempura Fondue-due
* Be adventurous when it comes to your alcohol here.. they have lots to offer. i'd share some of my favorites with you, but honestly I can't remember the names LOL
* come with a pen in hand. Why you ask.. Because the napkins are graced with doodle of Max Brenner's head. During out wait my girlfriend had a genius idea to draw on him. The drawing we came up with were hilarious!! She's so fun !!!!
