The Lodge Tavern, or the Tavern at Fort Apache is a large log constructed sports bar with video poker and some great food.
It looks like one of those log hunting lodges .....
with the huge fireplace found in all the cold northern states.
It sits on the far south end of Las Vegas near the end of Russell road or Tropicana. You find it just after crossing over the 215.
"The Tavern at Fort Apache" sounds like it should be the name of a western movie..... I found it to be a totally enjoyable experience.
It was quiet during the day I went, but I can imagine this huge circular bar with log beams headed up into the sky and a crackling fireplace gets rocking at night.
There is a nice sized wooden floor dining area with comfortable seating around classic wooden tables that is seperate from the main bar and game room.
Large windows still allow you to check out the main room action.
The dining area is ideal for those that want to enjoy a meal with some conversation before heading back into the rocous game room.
There are many TV's and monitors located throughout the bar and
I was able to check out the sports action while enjoying a tasty margarita .............
The lodge looks to have a variety of beer choices for those so inclined.
It does help to know someone to get the preferential treatment,
but even then - the service is really great.
The owners/mangers seem to be very nice and are concerned that they are producing a quality experience, both gaming and dining, out on the far end of Vegas.
If you are out this way - the Lodge is a great place to be.
