| - When writing a review of SG Bar, or Sierra Gold Elevated, it is hard not to compare it to other Sierra Golds. For those of you who aren't familiar with Sierra Gold, it is basically a nicer version of PT's. And PT's is basically your basic Las Vegas bar. Well, SG Bar is basically a nicer version of Sierra Gold. So what does this entail? Well there's an actually hostess who will seat you, unless you decide to sit at the bar; the bar and restaurant itself are much more nicely decorated; and the food and drinks have a more nuanced and sophisticated selection. Of course, this does come at a price - well a higher price than other options that are in the PT's family.
While having a selection of microbrew and regular beers at about 5-8 dollars a pint is perfectly reasonable as well as the cocktails that have a little more pizzazz for 10 dollars, I had trouble wrapping my head around a 12 dollar ("Bavarian") pretzel, as well as burgers and fries starting at 16 dollars. It's not out of this world, but I think having the name Sierra Gold and having items on the menu like their signature "Coo-coo" fries made me feel as if it was just a more expensive version of Sierra Gold.
Well they still got me by having Purple Haze on draft - so we decided to stay and have some food as well since we had a 2-for-1 entrees deal with the PT's loyalty card. I can't deny it - the steak salad contained a very adequate amount of tender, well-cooked steak. Compared to Sierra Gold's food, SG Bar does present their dishes more pleasantly and, as far as I could tell, the taste was better. My friend had a heaping Club Sandwich which had zero chance of fitting in either of our mouths which always leads to the question of, "How exactly am I supposed to eat this?" The sandwich was also tasty, but the kitchen did fail to put the bacon on the side as we had requested.
Service at SG Bar was a tad slow, but, considering how busy it was, satisfactory. On the very plus side, I never felt hurried or pressured to order more even though we stayed for a good while after finishing our meal and drinks.
SG Bar gave me a very positive vibe as a place to "go out on the town," as much as you can in Vegas without hitting the strip. While I felt a little out of place just looking for a bite and a beer, there's definitely a niche that this place hits that isn't necessarily Public School 702 or Sierra Gold Vanilla Edition. However, due to the prices and the somewhat slow service, I settled on three stars for SG Bar.
