Whiskey Dick’s

I had a draft review for this place before it apparently closed and I’m not surprised it did.

Well Whiskey Dicks has closed it doors. Went in there in March for our regular Tuesday lunch and the owner was there having people come get leased items out. He said he decided to close. We are sad to see everyone go.

The new owner was doing a good job of trying to turn it around at one time but over the last few months he had let it go. It is now closed.

My Fiancé and I have come here a couple times. Its a Nice little pub. They have a bunch of cool stuff on their walls. we tried their food which was not bad. But it is separate from the bar which Is kind of weird. The staff was attentive and friendly. Also I noticed they have a stage so im guessing they have live music on certain nights. Would probably come back as we live close by.

The food is separate from the bar so we had to pay separate? It was a slow night so we had great service, friendly staff. The wings were average.

Absolutely love to go here and people watch haha my husband and I once watched to friends «silent» fight over a guy they had just met. It was hilarious! Cheap drinks and a good time to just sit and chill. I do think their blooming onion thing gave me food poisoning once but who knows it could have been anything I ate that day. If you don’t wash onions properly its easy to do so whatevs :) just wouldn’t eat here again lol!

I do not agree with many of the negative reviews below. Whiskey Dicks is a good local pub with great food, draft beer, and live music that’s located outside of Nellis AFB. The servers are friendly and knowledgable and the service is always fast.
This place has come a long way in two years. The difference between the first time I visited Whiskey Dicks and now is vast. It’s brighter and clean. The menu has a robust list of well priced pub food that’s delicious, including salads and multiple specialty sandwiches. Some of the best items are the pizza and the wings. WD also has a decent variety of inexpensive beers on draft, plus a 20% discount for military.
Although it is a little weird that the bar and the restaurant are owned by separate companies, meaning separate checks, the 20% discount applied to both. My large mug of Alaskan Amber came to only $ 4.20. That truly cannot be beat.
Overall I’m impressed with Whiskey Dicks and appreciate it for what it is. A good local pub that serves delicious and inexpensive food.

Stopped by here for the first time and the food was the worst. Had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and there was a tiny strip of chicken on a hoagie bun covered in lettuce. The waitress did not know the selection of beer. BTW the beer is the best this place has to offer.

My wife and I went over here with some friends for their karaōke night. They had a great promotion for dollar drinks for girls and we had a blast everybody there was great the bartenders were awesome great selection and drinks and karaōke was off the hook!!! They do karaōke every other week Friday and Saturday nights!

They Use to have the best wings but last time I was there they informed me they changed them and there not as good. Long story short I don’t eat there anymore. Place is a hit and miss on bartenders. Drink prices could be a bit better overall will still go there occasionally

Walked in unsure of what to expect. Sat where we wanted. Our waitress told us she’d be with us and was over to us quickly. She was helpful choosing food and beers. Friendly, knew her menu. Food was out quickly and delicious. Fresh mad fries and chips. Not too busy. Smelled a bit like a bowling alley. Little too dark but not terrible.
We’ll be returning.

Could be 3 – 4 stars but the old pizza place had better food and we were sitting as far from the band as possible and couldn’t even hear each other talking. I understand having an exciting live band, but not even being able to communicate to the other people at your table is outrageous. Especially because we are all aircraft maintainers so we are used to being in loud environments. We would have liked to stay longer, but can’t talk so we are leaving. I don’t think we will come back anymore. New management should reevaluate some of the new business practices. Only reason it got 2 stars was because we had a good waitress.

Heard about the place came in and we left. To Damn hot. Apparently the air conditioning can’t keep up with the pizza oven.. Or group drove across town to get here and now on our way to somewhere else. Thru need to fix the AC or get rid of the pizza ovens.

Great dive bar. Features Fun bartenders. Layout is a nice place to watch a game, shoot pool, or watch a band on the stage. I went at lunch time. Either run into Aimee or Melissa. Fun sisters. For lunch i highly recommend their chili cheese dog! So delicious!

Went yesterday, a Friday night after work with a group of my friends (15+ people) and we were really the only people in the place. It’s a bar, nothing fancy. It’s dark, smoky, and seating isn’t too bad. The food is typical bar food and it’s also not bad. They don’t have happy hour specials on food, which kinda stinks because I spent $ 16 on 2 appetizers.
So why only 1 star, you ask? The worst service I have ever received in my life! Our waitress was «Jess» and she had a terrible attitude the whole 4 hours we were there. She was extremely short with all of her responses, didn’t know the specials, and seemed annoyed that she had to even be there. She disappeared often and would not return to our table for 30 minutes each time. Our DDs never got refills, the food was delivered semi-​cold, and she never brought us checks– even when the first two people in our group requested theirs.
The part that really made me angry, though, is when the people who were leaving for the night got their checks, Jess included some of the food and drinks for some people who had left earlier on our bill because she forgot to include it on theirs. WHAT?! How is that our fault OR even the fault of the people that paid and left? She is lucky that the tip was already included because none of us were going to leave one. We won’t be returning unless desperate!

Went to this bar on a sat night and was very pleased w the service so we came back the very next day and it’s amazing how in a matter of a couple of hours this bar went from sugar to shitty service! We sat there for 10 w/​o even being spoken to and when Jessica finally decided to come over she approached us with a rude tone and asked «what are U guys drinking» no hello, hi or anything! She didn’t know any of the specials and seemed annoyed that we didnt either. It took her forever to bring back our drinks! We asked to speak w the mgr who just so happen to be the chick cussing behind the bar about her «fucking cowboys team» who went on to tell us they don’t normally introduce themselves but she would talk to her. Umm last time I checked u dont have to introduce yourself, but a hello, hi, how r u is still the norm. Riiiggght.
Wanted to order food but once we saw she was also the cook. We decided to drink our beers and leave.

Pizza Kings is separate, but they’re no where on Unilocal,so, I’ll add it.
For an in the-​the-​bar pizza joint, the food is surprisingly good & eclectic. Last time I was here, I ordered their Mozzarella Caprese (salad). It was good, not great for one reason: flavorless tomatoes. The basil, cheese, & especially balsamic reduction were right on point, though. I would imagine that with some good Campari tomatoes, this would be a great dish. Served with 2 sides of ranch for some strange reason.
I have had their pizza, and it is standard, but very solid pizza. Good sauce, good amount of cheese, & crust that is just chewy enough.
The hot ticket is their $ 19.99 special of a 16″ 1 topping pizza 12 wings or 8 chicken fingers, & a large order of fries. A great value & perfect for a table of 4 if you’re at Whiskey Dick’s for the music.
Lastly, the Zeppolis are tasty and fun to share. Kinda like dense beignet, all covered in powdered sugar. You get lots per order. Also, as someone is eating one, make them laugh so you can see them cough «smoke».

Note: my location probably says Denver, I relocated to CO two weeks before this review. During my 6 months living in North Las Vegas, there were literally three places to go for a «good» time (more on the quotes later) in my neighborhood — here, the Cannery, and Mulligans. I’ll save reviews for the latter two and focus on this hole first.
So I’ve been to a lot of pubs. This place qualifies — they have an independent restaurant they share the premeses with (and although they are «separate» businesses really, I’m tossing the extra star to Dick’s since that’s where I ordered and ate the food) but it’s really more of a bar with incidental food (and I think it’s great for bar fare).
Too bad food alone can’t make up for just a shitty vibe.
I confess that some of my disappointment in this place might be a single example of pretty much every divey bar in the valley, but I still stand by my rating — it’s just that 90% of pubs /​bars in the valley (especially off the strip /​Fremont) would rate no better than 2 stars on a good day. The reasons I will cite would apply pretty well universally.
If you come from any place in America, or have even visited any place, that has a «Cheers» in your neighborhood, you might mistakenly think that this could be your place, and that’s where I went wrong. You don’t really try to have a conversation with anyone at Whiskey Dick’s, for any reason, unless you bring your own. I’m a social animal and I like to meet people when I’m new in a strange place. Not that difficult in DC, Denver, Portland, you name it. Vegas? Dick’s specifically? Everyone is too busy drinking rail liquor (because there’s not a good draft beer in sight), chain smoking and pumping the bartop slots full of $ 20s to pay you more than a head nod if you try to strike something up.
Now the locals, those are the cornerstone of any truly good neighborhood bar (and this is the only one in the area that stands a real chance of BEING that bar). The locals here are all super tight knit, not at all welcoming (you could come here 5 days a week and they won’t acknowledge you, even if you chat first), and just as obnoxious drunk as you wish they wouldn’t be. I’m pretty sure, as I’ve gotten to know two people there pretty well, that every regular in that place has slept with everyone else (bartenders included); the bros and rednecks there will (and actually did to a friend of mine) try like hell to steal your girl while she’s drunk…
So yeah. I’m not rating this place on the drinks or the service which are both just meh. I’m rating it as a guy who moves to a place and looks for a decent place to lounge around that isn’t my house. If the vibe in here was friendly and welcoming, and I hadn’t been touched by social tragedies (of others, and one of my own) on several occasions that were DIRECTLY the result of Whiskey Dick’s, I might have at least lukewarm feelings about the place. But in my eyes, this is pretty much the best choice for someone who teeters on the edge of a long downward hate spiral in life.
Better off staying home and picking up a hobby.
It’s not as bad as the Park Tavern in Denver, pretty much only because Dick’s doesn’t have steakhead bouncers that harass you (seriously) before you even get in the door, and again after you leave and spend money with them.

The thing that attracted me to Whiskey Dick’s was their advertisement for $ 4.95 lunch specials. It consists of regular sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, burgers and I think pizza. It’s bar food, but not the best bar food I’ve had. Sandwiches come with pretty good fries (think Five Guys), but the sandwiches themselves aren’t at the same level as the fries. It would be like having a giant LED flatscreen TV, and then using a set of $ 30 department store speakers for a sound system. While one half of the meal is good, the other half isn’t quite up to par.
I will say that this is actually a decent bar to get lunch at in the middle of the work day, as the space is nice and open and won’t leave you smelling like smoke. I did see that they have specials on Tuesday nights from 7:00pm — midnight: $ 1 tacos, $ 5 burgers, $ 2 miller lites.

Exercising a Groupon, my wife and I gave Whiskey Dick’s a try for dinner, and, boy, was I disappointed. It may be fine as a bikers-​themed bar but as a restaurant this establishment did not even make mid-​grade. Leather booths were comfortable on the end of a cavernous opening, with a long snaking bar and some high tables and chairs on one side, and five booths on the other, amidst the din of hard rock music not really helping the ambiance. And, the meal did not start off well when I observed diners just two booths away openly smoking cigarettes. I guess we were early casualties of Nevada’s new, liberalized tavern smoking law. Then, when my ordered bowl of French Onion Soup arrived with a bag of oyster crackers, I realized I was in real gustatory trouble. The broth of the soup and the caramelized onions and Swiss Cheese topping were okay, but the floating croutons were decidedly not. I had to bite down hard on each to manually soften them myself.
Next came «Hail Caesar,» a fairly large Caesar Salad that was topped by thin strips of Parmesan Cheese sprinkled over not very fresh-​tasting Romaine lettuce that was way over-​shredded, and tossed in a too-​zesty creamy Caesar dressing that overpowered the greens. At least my entrée, «Don’t Let Your Meat Loaf,» was pretty good, with the meat resting atop a large mound of garlic-​mashed potatoes, and the entire lot bathed in a tasty light-​brown gravy. The meatloaf itself was densely packed and accented by tiny bits of carrot. But the french fries I also sampled were too soft. Our waitress, outfitted in a black Whiskey Dick’s tee-​shirt, denim shorts, long gym stockings, and black tennis shoes, was friendly and efficient. As we walked out, two patrons dressed as bikers parked their motorcycles near the entrance, and walked in. All in all, this was a humble 2−½-star experience.
