Double Down Saloon - Worth It?

Is it worth the trip for some "ass juice" or is it an overrated dive bar?

If you had to pick one, would you rather stop at Peppermill or Double Down?

Thanks

Peppermil , But Double Down Does Deserve a One Time Visit atleast

We have not been there in a while. We went for the bacon martini we heard about on TV. It was bad!!! (the martini) but not all bad. For happy hour all drinks were $2. If this is the one on Paradise it was a pit. Absolutely the worst bar we've been to in Vegas. Mary still has pictures of it on her phone. I must confess I had never seen toilet paper on a locked chain before. Would I go again? No. Should you go once? Yes. Just once.

That pretty well sums it up. Lol

ha.. maybe ill just stick to downtown and use your experience as a hint.

Ive always got Ellis Island for my "dive bar" moments..

If you were ever into the CBGB scene, or just love dive bars with a great vibe,and great punk bands, the DDS is great. I love it. I make it a point to go on every trip. It's not for the timid, older crowd or prissy crowd that can't appreciate the beauty of it. It's dirty, gritty, loud. smokey, and they don't serve appletinis. Ass Juice and Bacon martinis are disgusting, so if you are going there just to try it...don't.

Good call..

Thanks for the info!

Ellis Island does not even come close to Double Down as a dive bar. Go to DD and you'll think you're at the Bellagio the next time you go to Ellis Island! Seriously, I always wanted to go to DD and last trip my wife finally made me take the trip (I didn't want to pay cab fare just to check it out). We walked in and the first thing I saw was a bald, tattooed "little person" at the bar. I knew I was going to find this place intriguing. As we came through the door I saw the most interesting (punkers) looking people. Sat over at the bar and ordered up a Rolling Rock (special) while I looked at the drink concoctions written on the wall. I ordered an Ass Juice, Bacon Martini, Dead Elvis, and several others. The bathrooms were nasty, but the people were as friendly as could be (patrons and staff). I'm a 49 year old man and was never a punk rocker in my day, but I was received by everyone so well. Never once felt awkward. We talked to several people and even played Punk Rock bingo for prizes. I even asked some of the people if they would pose for pictures for me and they all did. The sad part of the trip is that all of those drinks (what the hell was in them???) finally caught up with me. I lost my memory somewhere back at the Hard Rock and my wife got me back to the hotel safely. The following day still rates as one of the worst hangovers of my life. Would I go again? Yes. Would I try the ass juice? Probably. And then I would sip a couple of beers and enjoy the atmosphere. You live, you learn.
