Champagne’s Cafe

One of Las Vegas’ oldest dive bars. Sure it will be smoky, sure you may not have a place to sit, sure the plumbing is old and the toilets may back up and there will be a line, but whenever there is cheap beer and karaōke, it’s always a good time! PBR’s are $ 2.50 a can and other bottled beers are about $ 2.75. We managed to spend about 4 hours of drinking and spent about $ 20. You can pay your tab on one of those fancy iPads so you can pay easily and tip all from a few clicks of the tablet. Karaōke starts at 10p on the weekends so I recommend arriving early for parking (there is very limited parking in the front and back) and if you want a good seat at the bar. Had a great time at Champagnes, bartenders are friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re stepping back into old Las Vegas, both times I’ve visited I’ve seen some OG’s who had to be in their 90’s sitting back drinking their wine and singing a couple of songs themselves. Makes you think… they’ve probably been doing this at this same exact bar wondering which little punk is gonna be in my seat tonight… it was probably me.

Place was a total dump, enough said, One of bartender’s is a T-​girl, yikes!

Horrible service, female bartender was very rude. Nice atmospher, but over all i will never be going back. I wouldnt even give this place a star. Not a classy place if thats what you are looking for.

I finally got up enough nerve to serenade my wife on Karaōke Night. I wore a hat
then held it upside down in front me so I could read the words to the song I’d written on 3×5 cards. I sang «Angel Baby» which had been done a million years ago by Rosie and The Originals. I thought I sounded great. I got hoots and jeers from friends who never thought
I’d do it.
Champagnes is warm and fuzzy all over. It’s affordable and has a good looking lady bartender
on the graveyard shift who just can’t help being as cute as she is. Check it out, you’ll be glad you did.

The place hasn’t changed since it was built in 1961. Great atmosphere and very, very friendly service.
You’ve seen this bar in many movies and videos. It has an old Vegas vibe as it hasn’t been re-​decorated since it first opened.
Reasonably priced drinks and beers. And if you like wine, a bottle will set you back less than $ 20. Try to find that on the Strip!

Karaōke 10pm Monday, Friday and Saturday…702−737−1699…

If you are into dark divey places… you have to check out Champagne’s Café.
Smaller dive with neat history, cheap drinks, fun karaōke, and cool bartenders. This place hosts some very entertaining and interesting people which I love!
They have gaming of course but I had to give 4 stars because they don’t slot comp Crown Royal!
Cheers

Great Dive Bar– I went to Champagne’s on a Beer Budget and had a great time. I did not participant in Karaōke, but they certainly have one heck of a set up. The Karaōke leader assists your singing by playing the electric guitar and another gentleman plays the drums. I am from out of town and I got to see how the fun eclectic Vega$ locals spend their Saturday nights. I was only bummed they didn’t have an XL Bar T-​Shirt that I wanted to purchase, but the drinks the kind bartender poured made me quickly forget. If you want to have fun in the seedier side of Vegas, at a lot less touristy location and you are okay with dive bars, then you must go and have a drink or two here. Cheers!

It’s a Vegas landmark. Either you get it or you don’t.

Best Dive bar in vegas hands down if you can appreciate the old school feel and grit this place is known for. Always amazing bartenders and service. Wouldn’t change a thing about this joint. Also drinks are cheap as hell.

Found this little hole in the wall thru a friend! Gotta say, I was highly impressed with the service! Cheap strong drinks, friendly staff, and apparently I went on Karaōke night which was a lot of fun! Def one of my new favorite dive bars in this city so far!

Seriously. There is nothing not to love about this place. Cheap drinks, awesome locals, live band karaōke, what more could you need? We Came in as tourists and felt right at home. Definitely my favorite Vegas bar.

Best dive bar in Vegas. Unreal service. Bar tender Chris has super natural power to make people have a good time!

This place is dark.
Drinks are very, very cheap.
It is not crowded.
No hipsters.
The bartender is friendly.
I love it.
The end.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the best bar in Las Vegas! I’m really not into the trendy, touristy areas along the strip or even the slightly more divey but still somewhat trendy bars on Fremont East. Champagne’s Café is true Las Vegas! Although I’ve only lived here for 2 years, from what I hear, this place really hasn’t changed all that much in decades. Yes, it’s smokey. Yes, it’s divey. But if you enjoy the nostalgia of places that stand frozen in time, then Champagne’s is for you! Cheap drinks and karaōke on Fri, Sat and Mon starting at 10. This place is for real.

Still love, love, love, love this bar. We brought our Canadian friends tonight! And they love this dive bar too! We will always bring friends here and buy them a drink! The bartenders are excellent here and the vibe is sooooooooo Vegas! No bar in the bowl is near as cool as Champagnes!

Like many others have said, cheap drinks, fun karaōke, and dive bar atmosphere. These are all things I really did like about this bar which is how I ended up here in the first place.
Now on to the turn offs:
–Gets over crowded very easily. There is a small walk way between the bar and the booths that runs from the entrance to the bathrooms, that I found myself stuck in like a trout swimming up stream every time I wanted a drink. The wait staff are very quick to clean the tables and usher you and your friends into a booth. Some may love this but I was with a decent sized group where one booth couldn’t hold us so it was super hard to socialize.
–Holy Smokes, it’s smokey in here! I’m a non-​smoker but I understand it’s Vegas so many places still allow smoking which is fine, but this place must have no ventilation because my eyes were burning. As I looked through the heavy fog of smoke that lay between my friends and I could see squinty watery eyes which made everyone look uncomfortable. We ended up not staying long because of the smoke situation.

Classic Las Vegas dive bar situated along Maryland Pkwy right across the Boulevard Mall. Location is indeed quite sketchy and the bar itself is a little rundown but that’s what makes this dive amazing!
Great place to get the night rolling or even going! What I love about this bar is that it’s open 24/​7, so I can walk straight right in for any occasion that calls for liquor. Drinks are cheap and bartenders don’t hold back on the booze. I even remember once paying less than $ 20 for three sets of shots and whisky Cokes… DOPE! If you prefer cold brews, however, this place has two beers on tap: PBR and Honey Brown.
They also host karaōke on weekends starting at 10PM. One thing I noticed is that these people can definitely sing and even take it seriously. Only downside is that random live band playing over the backing tracks which I found excessive at times.
Overall, Champagne’s Café is certainly one of the few dive bars left in this city that keeps the dying old Las Vegas culture alive. If you’re into unadulterated fun without all the frills that one would find at the strip, then this dive is for you.

The title to this review should be KARAOKE OR DIE!
So, I’ve driven by this place a hundred times, it’s a little dive bar on Maryland, near the mall. I never even thought to step afoot but one of my customers told me that a girl got stabbed and murdered there last Christmas. I jokingly asked her, «Was she a bad singer?» Woah… it was a joke then, but I didn’t realize how close I cut to the truth.
So the place… yeah… gross. It’s a dive bar. Don’t expect much, except for $ 3 cocktails! Score! They have karaōke every night except Sunday. The crowd is a mixed bunch, all ethnicities, ages and backgrounds, lots of interesting characters.
These people take karaōke seriously. There were some amazing singers. The set-​up is kinda weird, it’s in the corner, next to the darts, and they have a live drummer and guitarist. The sound system was good.
Soooo… I took a stab and picked Lordes. And of course, Lordes, means ROYALS. Is there any more polarizing song than ROYALS? I don’t think so. Well, I can belt out ROYALS with the best of them, but I had a minute of stage fright and I didn’t get the first few verses correct. So, I don’t know if it’s coincidence, or this is what they do to bad karaōke singers, but the drummer started banging, and I mean banging on the drums. And the background music completely drowned me out.
So I got to belt out a few lines, especially when the song goes acapella. There was some Mexican guy cheering me on, I mean, really digging it, so that was awesome. But overall, it was a tough crowd. Maybe if I become a regular, they won’t be so hostile. My bf was sitting at the table and he told me when I started singing, the people at the next table were pissed! He said it was a good thing I knew the song, or it might’ve gotten violent. LOL. ROYALS getting me killed, oh boy, what a death! Can’t wait to read that Unilocal review.
Overall, the karaōke was a 5 stars. I might bring my karaōke group here, you can’t beat the drink prices. But –1 star because the parking sucks, it’s not in the best neighborhood, and I wasn’t crazy about the live musicians drowning me out.

I stopped in on Friday night/​Saturday morning this last weekend for a quick drink on the way home.
the bar itself is a dive (just the way I like them) and the place was packed.
Chris was the bartender that night, and he is AWESOME. Very attentive, and he makes great drinks.
I’m not super crazy about their karaōke though.
Why do you have live instruments playing OVER the karaōke music? Its either rock star karaōke, or its not… don’t play over the music.
Not only that, but they don’t announce who is next in the queue, and it even says on the screen «We don’t start over, so be ready.» So if you happen to not be watching the screen like a hawk, you could miss your turn to sing.
Not a very professional way to run karaōke, if you ask me.
I’ll go back for drinks, but I’d be happier if they got someone else in there to host karaōke.
