Calico Jack’s Saloon

Creepy creepy creepy I’ve been here twice both times I’ve felt uncomfortable some creepy guy steers at me while I’m drinking definitely no where to take ur girls out drinks

I enjoyed my visit here. Came in for a quick bite and a beer. Patty was a super nice bartender with great energy and tons of smiles. I just had the beer battered steak fries, but they were definitely tasty! Large portion as expected for 5 $ fries. I will definitely stop back again. The only thing that I didn’t like (kept me from giving the 5^th star) is the lighting in the place. It is «pitch black «in there. I’m usually ok with that at night, but during the day it was alittle strange. Had no idea the time that was passing and took a bit for my eyes to adjust again to the brightness of the early afternoon before I could drive away. Enjoyed myself tho and will be back!

Rude bartender and horrible smokey dark room that has a bunch of zombie eyed gamblers and no music or sports on. Worse bar in Vegas!

Seriously… don’t waste your time going here. No more Dancing, no more Karaōke and garbage food. We tried to give this spot another chance and still the service is really poor and the atmosphere completely lame. It’s never going to be fun like it used to be. What a huge let down. Our party simply had to go somewhere else. Mangos and Mr. D’s up the street are really the places to go.

I’m not sure why I came back to this bar. I had been here four times before and everytime a major disappointment. I’ve tried different days and different bartenders. nothiing but the same thing. the bartenders are older than the dust on my car. BUT” Im so glad I gave it another shot. Bartender was on his game. Turns out he is new. As in, first week new. I had a blast, will be back for sure. Got a new spot for sure. Hopefully this dude stays long enough to get this place back to normal. You will be seeing me again soon.

To quote «Diamond» David Lee Roth’s «D@mn Good»
Time rolls on
And that’s as it should be
Here and gone
Seems to move so quickly
Man, we was happy in our restless hearts
It was heaven right here on Earth
Yeah, we were laughin’ as we reached for the stars
And we had some for what it was worth
Those were good times
D-​mn good times
Those were good times
D-​mn good times
Calico Jacks is a Las Vegas Dive Bar that sets the standard for Dive Bars across the nation. Expensive bar food, expensive drinks, rough-​n-​tumble crowd, and even rougher bartenders. This place is the Mack Daddy of Dive Bars and we are proud of it !
Yee-​uh! Whoop!

I was approached by a bartender of Calico’s, Keith, who informed me that he was not racist and that he didn’t appreciate that I wrote on Unilocal a comment saying that the bartenders of Calico’s are. He told me to go back on Unilocal and write that he is NOT racist. I didn’t recall writing it at the time he mentioned it but now that I have a chance to look at it, not under the influence of alcohol, (talk about a buzz kill) I am proud to say that YES I did write it.
I never said that the bartenders are racist. As a matter of fact, if you read it, it says the opposite. Anne is probably the best bartender there. There are others that are good also but I really cannot remember their names. I tried to make my comment general but I see that is not going to work so I will just name names. Chad is the bartender that gives customers a hard time and he is the bartender that walked away from my brothers and me at the bar. Keith was the bartender that finally took our drink order.
Yes, I have always had issues at Calico Jack’s and I still went there anyway because of my friends.
This is crazy… I hope this makes you happy Keith. Again shame on me for going back there… the things I do for other people.

Very good Karaōke place the music is good and you can get drinks and food. Good atmosphere !!

Sucks you have to give 1 star. Don’t waste your money. It was dead when myself and 2 friends walked in. Machines are tight as hell. I ordered wings. Got 8 wings for $ 8.95 no no no don’t wait your money!!! I lost $ 80 on the machine and still have a $ 20 tap. BS !!! My friend got charged for his soda when he was playing too. Not drinking alcohol at all! Don’t don’t don’t waste your money!!!

Granted this place is not at the Bellagio, but it is what it is. Awesome regulars, affordable libations and bar food. Great Karaōke. Nice local dive bar on the west side.

I’ve been there twice, months ago, and very recently. The first visit was pretty good, the host taking the slips said I was late, but he’d get me in, (I had a tip in hand when I inquired), so no problem there. Somewhat of a meat market dive, which is fine, and I’ll stop there.
Most recently, I went on a very slow weekend night. I had something scheduled later, but had time to drop in. The host said it would be over an hour before I sang (no tip), and I sat at the bar, killing time on my smartphone, and killing $ 20 on video poker. The bartender was very quick and cordial at first, but twice cleaned up my drink when I went to the restroom. There were only 5 or 6 people seated at the bar at the time, so that was curious.
I waited and waited, and was never called, as I heard familiar voices repeatedly singing. Finally after 2+ hours, I went up, and had to remind the KJ that I had not performed, and it had been 2 hours+. I got up in a couple of songs, and sang to an almost –empty house. I left immediately, only to find that my late date had fallen asleep, so I had to postpone that!
I like the system, though, and will give the place one more chance. My star rating may change after one more visit.

I ll start by saying my wife is a long time regular of this bar we live right around the corner which is very convenient, EVERYTIME we go there service is great waitresses are great the guy behind the bar is a complete @sshole his name is Chad I walked up to ask for change he said I needed to move to the Side ever so rudely so I did then I asked wow the last time I was here u were hella cool! He said well UR being a smart ASS REALLY BRO! I don’t care what kinda a day UR having treat UR customers right and with respect don’t be a douche bag, that’s why UR ratings are so bad, Cassie was great, I work in customer service, you don’t treat people like crap! and Chad Your service and respect sucks!

So far I have to agree with all other patrons. I ordered a dirty martini, it tasted like olive water, and when I asked for an upgraded Gin and was willing to pay the difference I was told there was nothing we can do there are 50 cameras watching me. ATTENTION MANAGERS/​OWNERS you should allow your bartenders some flexibility here. It’s a gaming establishment, don’t you comp drinks all day long? I am not a 21 year old wanting to sample a bunch of liquor for free.
On the karaōke note — if you get here early you will get to sing. Thanks to you karaōke DJ for making the night

This place is probably the worst karaōke bar I have ever been too. One of my friends was having birthday party here and I have never been so I was looking forward to checking it out.
The layout is a very large open room with dive bar décor. On one end is a large karaōke stage, a small dance floor with tables around it and a karaōke DJ booth. The other end is a large square shaped bar with video poker machines. In between, there are a number of tables that can occupy medium to large parties.
Right from the start I was accosted by the
bouncer who was rude and unfriendly, he demanded our IDs and then rolled his eyes when my girlfriend took 30 seconds to get her ID out if her purse. The next thing I found out about the establishment is that there are a lot of rules that aren’t posted anywhere. After the rude bouncer got done checking our IDs he ran over and grabbed one of my other friends and told him you can’t wear beanies in here; hats you can wear sure but no beanies. I mean really!?! It was 48 degrees outside. Alright whatever a rude bouncer, no big deal I’ll just order a drink, that will be easy at a bar right? Wrong! The bar was semi-​busy but the bartenders hold spots at the bar for their regulars even if they aren’t there. So after a bartender actually yelled at me for standing in front of an empty video machine, I had to order standing about 2 feet back from the bar… Their alcohol selections are standard. It took about 10 minutes for 2 cocktails and then bartender wouldn’t give me my card back until I signed the receipt…
My friends found a dirty table next to a lady who literally passed out at her table. The one cocktail waitress never stopped at our table and ignored us when we tried to get her attention.
We put in 4 or 5 songs we wanted to sing and 2 of us got to sing in 4 hours. We mostly just got to watch the regulars go up and sing again and again.
I left feeling so disgusted and angry. I will NEVER come back here! Unless you like being treated like a second class citizen, don’t come here either.

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. A huge group of girls came here for a bachelorette party, and we were treated so poorly it was disgusting. The place was dirty, outdated, and just not fun. If you are not a regular, you are basically worthless there. Our server was just fine, but when we wanted a pitcher of water, the manager had to step in cut us off. Really? No more water? Geez. We waited an hour to sing our first song because the DJ kept putting the regulars in front of us. There is no book for you to sift through, you just pick one at random.
I would have thought they’d have wanted our business; we could have bought a lot of drinks and had a good time but they were too busy protecting their regulars and giving crappy service to us.

If you are not a regular, service can be hit or miss. What I love about this place is that it is a close, casual bar to summerlin. When I want a «bar burger» or «bar wings» and a PBR and watch a game in a traditional bar enviornment, this is the place I go.
My father-​in-​law enjoys it too as he is a smoker and you can smoke in the bar area.
This place is nothing fancy, and that’s exactly what is supposed to be.

Look… after 15 years of coincidentally stopping in here for a drink or weekend karaōke, nothing has changed. It’s still a staple of Las Vegas old school dive bar memorabilia.
The atmosphere is dated, but authentic. The dusty old bottles of liquor are expected. The circa 70’s music adds to the ambiance. This is what the local bar always has and will be in Vegas or any city.
Gotta love the old school folks. Great little bar, and good people in there.

I’ve been here several times for karaōke. The place really isn’t any fun. I only go here occasionally for karaōke because it’s fairly close to where I live.
If you decide to visit this place for karaōke you’ll do a lot more listening than singing. You’ll be lucky to get up to sing once every hour.
Drinks are overpriced and the service is very slow.
If you wanna go to watch others sing they do have some good regulars. Who, by the way, you’ll notice get up to sing a lot more than you do. The food is also decent.
If you’re looking for a great place to sing karaōke look elsewhere.

Cute little neighborhood bar. However, not so little, in fact deceiving at first glance. The place has a small restaurant seating area, tables, and then another open seating sectioned off with a dance floor, full stage, KAREOKE! And DJ booth. Definitely didn’t see that coming from the street corner.
Me and my main squeeze decided to stop by late friday night, since the bar is walking distance from our home. We were greeted by security, the place was not empty and not packed. We ordered two drinks (bud lights) = $ 10. Eeehh I think a little over priced. No drink or food specials. And if you sat near the dance floor there was a drink minimum. We didn’t stay long but I can imagine that if we were a little toasty and had some friends with us then MAYBE we would have enjoyed it. Not going to make this my new neighborhood spot, but it wasn’t all that bad.

This is a follow up review… My first visit was awesome however my second visit was a complete and utter disaster to say the least…
So was a friday night and feeling some karaōke and decided to return to Calico Jack’s for a night of drinking and singing. This particular visit sucked, four hour wait to sing one song. I am NOT exagerrating when I say us two girls waited four freakin hours just to sing one song. Yes the place is packed on Friday night’s but damn this was ridiculous.
Not a place for karaōke singers to go if really wanting to have multiple opportunities to sing. Is best left for those who strictly watch.
I will not be returning, the KJ’s are shady, regulars have priority and go up multiple times while newbies wait wait and wait. Also they accommodate the folks who are filling their tip jar, no fat tippy no singy is what we evaluated. It’s just wrong and how convenient that people walking in the door turned in song request with cash and were called up fairly quickly. We got there at 9pm, did not sing until 1:30 that is some BS! I am all about tipping the KJ after a song but not going to pay them to get called. There is also a one drink minimum and the drinks are NOT cheap.
The two fat fux running this karaōke operation for Calico Jack’s need to learn some karaōke etiquette.
I am a big girl but this place is like a trailor park bbw festival, no thanks!
Never again, don’t waste your time!
The two stars I gave is for their great food, yummy burgers and fries.
I have nothing against Calico Jack’s as a bar, just the two KJ’s they have contracted to run the karaōke.

My visit this time was like night and day from last time, there is no recovering from this visit, even though the first time was good.
