| - UPDATE 6/28/16: So I've settled in town and to this day, this is my favorite gay bar. The locals come here for many good reasons--friendly staff, cheap drinks, accepting cards (unlike others that only take cash), themed nights, and so much more. I'm impressed with all that there is to offer here!
Shawn is one of the owners and is always receptive to feedback and opinions. He makes sure everyone feels welcome and is having a great time.
If you're needing a snack before drinking, the kitchen is open 4pm until late. On Tuesday nights, my favorite, there are Smash Bros. tourneys--free of charge--and you can win bar tabs and gift cards! Definitely follow The Phoenix Bar on FB to see all the upcoming events!
Overall, still a 5/5 star rating. I'll always come here first unless my friends are dragging me elsewhere. Keep up the great work!

(Original review below, posted fall 2015)
I recently moved to Vegas from a small town in South Carolina. I had heard about Phoenix being very gamer-friendly, so I went one afternoon and didn't have a great experience. Turns out, it was just bad timing on my part and a slight miscommunication with the staff!
Since I've settled in my new apartment, I quickly learned that Phoenix is THE BEST gay bar in town. This is the consensus from both visitors and the locals! Drinks here are extremely reasonably priced (in other words, cheap!) and unlike certain other bars in town, they WILL accept credit and debit cards to keep your tab open. Yes, I've been to certain places here that were strictly cash only... Dislike.
I highly recommend coming on a Tuesday evening (after 7PM). The LV Gaymer group is really welcoming of new faces, and they love playing Super Smash Bros. (Wii U) on the projector screen--which obviously means they have good taste! This is a fun place for easy Streetpassing, and as a side note, the staff here work very closely with the LV Gaymer group. More and more events are held here at the Phoenix and I only see them both growing at this rate!
Be sure to follow and like their page on Facebook! They're actively posting with updates and events so you will know when are the best times to stop by!
