Huntridge Tavern

I love this dive bar! Cheap! Fun! Nice people! They will feed you snacks all night if you get hungry while slamming shot after shot. Cheese puffs, pop corn, chips, nuts etc. Wana a hangout with the hipster in Vegas? Here’s your home!

Raddest little dive bar! Located not too far from Fremont, it’s the perfect place to wind up once you’re over paying too fucking much for a well double-​gin & tonic down the street. PS: Arty is the man!

One of the best little dive bar in Vegas | lots of old timers here | and they sell liquor to go | two thumbs up

Huntridge is like stepping back into a different time and place altogether. This reminded me exactly of the old dives my granddad used to haunt. Obviously, if you don’t like dive bars or the usual strip scene, you will hate it. Smoky as the breath of satan himself, cheap drinks, bad music, strong pours. What more could you ask for? The regulars are super friendly and welcoming. So if you don’t like strangers coming up to serenade you with Sinatra’s hits, you’d be wise to keep walking. :)

Great place for cheap drinks and friendly service. Spent alot of time here when i used to work across the street. Art was one of my favorite bar tenders ever.

This is an a-​ok dive bar. It’s supposedly like the oldest or longest operating or something bar in the City of Las Vegas. It’s in a strip mall next to Huntridge Pharmacy and not too far from Huntridge Circle Park. It’s tiny. It’s full of things to look at. It’s got dive bar charm. It’s super laid-​back and friendly and chill. The bartenders are great — friendly and attentive. They have a lot of beer offerings (bottles), which is awesome. It’s a perfectly fine dive bar. Nothing about it, though, would make me consider this a destination place. Unless you’re already in the area, it’s not worth a visit.

I am a fan of this dive bar! It is what it is… It could have the potential to be very smokey, I am a little weezy today, if it was packed with smokers I would not be able to stay, however I will return and hope for the best. The location is in a rough area, and as we stood outside there was deep contemplation, and we were both glad we returned and walked through the door!
The bartender she was great and I wish we got her name. Sometimes when you enter a neighborhood bar you could be made to feel like an outsider or perhaps a conversation is carried on before you are served. Not here, she acknowledged us right away and guided us to what was offered. I loved that she included the vodka special, $ 2 a shot! One cannot go wrong with that! She heard us talking about how hot we were, it was 108 outside and she suggested a table near the fan! The drinks we had were mixed great and we had huge smiles… $ 6 for two drinks including a tip in Vegas!
There is a lot of cartoon artwork on the walls and those were fun to read. The bathroom was a walk down a hall and they were surprisingly remodeled and very clean. Yeah dive bar clean! There were collages of past events down the hall and people know how to live here!
There was a mixture of old timers and two of them encouraged to enter earlier in the evening. One bought us a drink and that really made us feel welcomed! Hipsters, musicians, unemployed, you will find it all here and everyone was happy. It is an old school down to earth bar I thought that disappeared.
They will be having some fundraisers for the theater and I hope to return for those. This is off the path, but I will return!

This is the cheapest bar in the city! The bartenders are always super friendly and remember what you drink every time you stop in. Even when the AC goes out, they’re standing by with a wet towel and a fan. If you like dive bars and great service, this is the place for you!

Was there a couple weeks ago on Friday. I luv dive bars and this place is a 5 star dive bar. Went in with my girlfriend, she immediately felt uncomfortable, as she was only female customer in the place. Could understand stand her feeling, as I was waiting for the first drunk to come over and begin the compliments. Took bout 2 minutes before one came over. In a drunken slur, he says get the $ 1.00 Hamms, you can’t beat them. Relieved, I ordered a couple from the sweat drenched female bartender. Sat down on a sticky table, caught a whiff of the bars odor, watched dude bounce off of the swing doors to the bathroom. Perfect, from the 6 packs to go and urine soaked, piss smelling bathroom! Heading back next time in town.

Omg!!! If you’re looking for an old old old bar where you wanna feel like you’re back east or mid west and can enjoy a cig… This is your place! Arty is like the coolest dad and the gnarliest best friend ever!!! I felt like I was back home in Cleveland … I have not felt so at home in FIVE years in this city!!!

Classic local’s dive bar. This place gets better after midnight when most bartenders and downtown peeps flock there for afterhours. Everyone is always nice and that’s what’s so great about it.
Also, for a «dive bar» it has impeccable bathrooms so it’s girl friendly at all times.
I think it’s funny when people complain that any dive bar scares them. Maybe you shouldn’t be looking for dive bars and instead go to TGI Fridays.
On the jukebox expect anything but top 40. Lots of classic country, classic rock, indie and 90’s.
Expect random rockabilly gatherings or bicycle clubs dropping by. Also a cat on a leash from time to time.

This is one of my favorite bars of all time. And I’ve been to oh so many bars. It’s actually embarrassing ok? So. Many. Bars. HT takes the medal for closest to my heart (and home literally).
Staffed by some of the best tenders in town. Lovely mix of wonderful neighborhood lifers and noobs. 24 hours. Cheap as cheap can be.
I started crying during their spot on an Anthony Bourdain show like some kind of proud mother. It’s homeeeee.
PS it’s only «dangerous» if you’re a total suburban baby. Hey you’re scared? Get in your SUV and go back to summerlin. My kid is beating the hell out of your honor roll student.
Liquor to go and smoking inside. If you grew up here you’ll definitely run into some idiot you know but that’s ok. Wink at em, take a shot of Jameson, and chill the eff out. They are probably some schmuck with a geography degree or something anyways.

The Huntridge Tavern epitomizes one of my favorite Hunter quotes…“North Vegas is where you go when you’ve fucked up once too often on the Strip, and when you’re not even welcome in the cut-​rate downtown places around Casino Center.”
I had been wanting to visit here for years, and finally made the trek this last Thursday evening with wifey, and it was most excellent. Artie, the bartender was fantastic, and served up some awesome popcorn that somehow wound up in every pocket of my cargo shorts. I would highly recommend the Huntridge on your list of down-​home friendly Vegas classic dives.

What the Atomic Liquor Lounge was like before it underwent a régime change and became gentrified. The HUNTRIDGE is perhaps my favorite bar, let alone dive bar, in town. Drinks are super cheap, the bar maidens are super cool and super nice, and the people watching here is non pareil! It’s an awesome place to get out of the house, relax with a cocktail, and people watch. I generally visit in the afternoon, and The HUNTRIDGE then is not replete with the beautiful people: some denizens are missing their teeth, others their limbs. And the occasional very low rent working girl hawking her assets. Moreover and surreally, late night weekends, the crowd transforms into young collegiate hipster boys, complete with sideparts and beards. And, yes, it’s as schizophrenic as it sounds. Yet everyone is friendly and minds their own business. If you’ve ever seen BARFLY, the HUNTRIDGE is a very similar milieu. I went there yesterday. I’ll most likely be there this afternoon!

True dive bar. Dirty, smoky, cheap, slightly dangerous. Has become more popular with the resurgence of downtown, for better or worse. If you’re looking to drink strong drinks, cheaply, among the salt of the earth then this is your place.

Goddamn I love this joint. People who hate this place are wimps who think a dive bar is an Applebees on the bad side of town. Don’t be a wimp.

Cool bar in a scary location. Great bartender, neat atmosphere, great dive bar. Marked down for sketch walk to/​from parking lot.

Anthony Bourdain, good lord. What were you thinking?
I don’t have a problem with dive bars and all, but this place takes it to a new level. Just know that.
We couldn’t figure out whether it was featured on the ‘Parts Unknown’ series because (a) he genuinely thought this place was worth going to, and is trying to bring people to a struggling business; or (b) it was meant as some kind of joke to the viewing audience.
Was this Bourdain’s way of messing with his foodie viewers’ minds? The world may never know.
Two different downtown cabbies the night we went and neither one of them had even heard of this place, let alone knew where to go. ‘Parts unknown’ indeed. Upon arrival, we actually had to double-​check whether or not we were at the right place, and the cabbie stuck around to make sure we weren’t shanked.
You’ll find out exactly why this place should remain a ‘part unknown’ the minute you open the door.. Or maybe BEFORE you open the door, when you’ll gaze upon the dot-​matrix printer-​paper sign, messily scotch-​taped to the completely tinted all-​glass door, which exclaims in all-​caps: «YOU CAN’T PEE FOR FREE.»
The night we entered, a scraggilly-​dressed man in his late 60’s was passed out at the obligatory slot machine game, head back and mouth wide open, empty drink glass right next to him. Next up, a geriatric-​skewed patchy group of beyond middle-​aged lost souls scattered lightly around the bar (and this was a Saturday night). The lone bartendress was okay, but not very friendly; maybe she recognized we weren’t local. Maybe her boyfriend yelled at her earlier that day.. Who knows.
Avoid like the plague. unless schadenfreude is your thing. It just feels like you’re in a failing business with a bunch of bar flies who gave up on life a long time ago. If you want to get away from the Strip, there are plenty of options that are leagues better (and at the same price point) in/​closer to downtown.

You absolutely cannot beat the cheap drinks here. A good place to mash on some alcohol as long as you can stand the smokey smell. The bartender was very attentive and friendly. Ladies bathroom was much cleaner than I expected for a dive bar. I smelled like I visited my chain-​smoking grandma’s house and it lingered until I was able to shower the stank away.

I don’t know if a party vibe fills this place nights or weekends. But I’ve been here just after lunch on a Wednesday afternoon in January, and I can tell you it’s a profoundly depressing place.
It is filled with alcoholic old men who are either homeless or will be next week. Smelly, dirty men swilling down cheap beer and drinks, sexually harassing the busty, broken, heavily-​tattooed, and WELL past her sell-​date barkeep, April, who clearly needs her job.
We sometimes romanticize places like this, say that they’re cute «dives». Not this one, not that day. The Huntridge Tavern is not a party. It’s a warning.
