Firkin On Paradise

Firkins has by far the best service and the best cooks and on top of all that the greatest beers never been more satisfied

Good Beer. Burgers that are perfect. Excellent service (Matt). Need I say more? It was just what we needed after a day out. I started out with a Black and Tan because I couldn’t make up my mind between a Guinness and a Bass. The custom made black and bleu burger was cooked perfectly. Matt, our server, kept us fed and watered and it was perfect. They have something for everyone, especially if you like really good beer on tap.
GO THERE! It’s right across from the Hard Rock and it’s nice to get away from crazy places in LV and chill with good brew and excellent food.

I came here on the recommendation from a resident at my work. I warned him that if I went– I’d write a review. An honest review. Well lets just say 3 stars is being nice because I was undecided between 2 and 3. The outstanding service from our waitress is why it’s 3. And because I’d return alone for the chicken wings. A place with wings this good doesn’t deserve 2 stars. Go for the garlic parmesan. Although there are a bunch of unique flavors like pineapple curry. (Not that brave)
We ordered a meat pie style dish and chicken piccata.
I’m sorry friend if you’re reading this but it was the absolute worst chicken piccata I’ve ever tasted. The meat pie was decent, but there was not enough meat for the potatoes and veggies.
On a positive note, another thing I’d return for is the Bloody Mary! Oh yeah she hooked it up nice and spicy with olives n all! Well done cute waitress in the 49ers shirt. I won’t hold your team against you with bar skills like that!
Ill see you again for wings & drinks!

I’ve been here about two handful of times now and I enjoy it most when I hang out by the bar. The last couple visits we’ve been taken care of by bartender Jennifer, she rocks and is able to handle a full and crazy bar.
As far as food goes, the only times I’ve ate here was after an event at KISS mini golf and Rebelpalooza. Both times I was with excellent company who weren’t shy to share their nachos, wings, fries, etc. So far I’ve had the Fish and Chips, it’s alright and the two pieces of fish is huge. The wings are good but a pinch less in flavor compared to Wing King and not as cheap as Wing King either. My favorite item there though is their french dip.
The place is never dim, even late at night, which I like but I do have the best times when a group of us go there just to drink their beers on tap while catching a game.

I stopped by here because I heard tell of Irish nachos made with waffle fries. I’ve had better. The serving size was pretty small. And it was just cheese, green onions, bacon, and sour cream. Who puts bacon on nachos? They were more like haphazard potato skins. The Irish nachos I crave from Callahan’s have refried beans, jalapenos, salsa, etc. I also had a blue cheese and steak salad which was so so.
On the plus side, the server/​bartender had a great accent and adeptly managed the entire restaurant on his own. And they had Innis & Gunn Irish Whiskey Cask on tap, which was super yummy! Their beer list isn’t all that impressive to me, but ask… they have some gems hidden back there.
All in all, good for drinking but not a gastropub by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just typical bar food.

Met up with some friends here for UFC 162. Cover was $ 5 which included a raffle ticket. Fun part was one of the folks I was with won a $ 25 gift certificate to come bk another time plus $ 100 for car tint at some place which I think is pretty AWESOME!
Why? did I only give 3 stars? Well first I arrived a bit late and not once did a waitress come up to the table and ask if I wanted anything. I was with about 6 other people yet for the hour and half I was there she didn’t check in but once to close the tab by that time I had already gone off to the bar. A very friendly british guy was behind the bar he noticed me walk up right away even with the crowd and he even called me «hunny» which ill take over ma’am anyday !
The venue was pretty nice to watch the fight and the place had decent amount of space. Lots of TVs to choose from to see the show. Downside was they didn’t turn on subtitles and it was impossible to hear any of the commentary.
I can’t speak to the food but the beer was flowing and it was a nice vibe just wish the waitress was friendlier! She refused to split my friends tab which I understand in her mind its too hard otherwise but making people do math to split everything is just no fun! And mostly hurt her in the long run cause it def took points off of her tip.

The fish and chips is what brings me back here. I know it’s also a pub but I can’t speak on any of the beers, only the food. If you are planning on eating here I would highly recommend the fish and chips. I tried the meat pie and it was good.
We ordered:
The Meat Pie — Good but the fish was better as far as authenticity.
Fish and Chips — 2 pieces of the best fried fish ever and fries. Authentic.
Chicken Wings — Sold by the pound unless it’s happy hour — LOTS of choices of sauces, we ordered Terriyaki and Pineapple Curry. The teriyaki wasn’t special but he curry sauce was good. Mild.
Flat Iron Steak — listed as a specialty of theirs. It was good. I would probably stick with the fish being it’s a pub.
It’s a great place and the food is good. If you are a beer drinker, this could be your heaven.

Terri R had one day left to take care of her Groupon for Firkin On Paradise. So, this is where we ended up for dinner. I admit, I had this bookmarked a couple of months ago and ended up dropping it off my list due to just the average reviews. But when a meal is basically going to be free, it really doesn’t hurt to try.
We came in on a Friday night and this place was surprisingly not busy. Considering it’s fairly close to the strip and near the Hard Rock, I expected more people. We were seated right away and even though the service was good, our waiter must have been a newbie because there was a lot that he didn’t know and had to ask for assistance. I didn’t have an issue with this so I will leave service with just good.
As for their food, all I can really say is it’s just a pub with pub type food. Nothing really on the menu caught my eye, but the prices weren’t bad so I’m not complaining. Besides, the meal was pre-​paid via Terri’s Groupon. Still Lenting, I had their Seamus’ Crispy Fish Sandwich and a bowl of Clam Chowder. The chowder didn’t wow me. It tasted like your basic Campbell’s Soup chowder. As for their fish sandwich, it’s basically one piece of a battered fried fish put inside a bun. I was starving so I ended up eating the whole thing. It’s not bad, especially for the price. I just don’t see myself going out of my way to eat here.
If you’re coming to Firkin On Paradise, keep in mind that this is a pub first, restaurant second. In other words, come here to hang out and get your drink on. By the way, I still would consider Steiner’s food over Firkin on Paradise.

Checking out Firkin On Paradise, we were swayed away from their regular menu because of their Tuesday offering: AYCE Chicken Wings at $ 12.95 per person! (It’s usually $ 9.95/lb.) And when you take advantage of their AYCE wings, you can also get $ 1 PRBs!
The Husband and I tried a few flavors — Bourbon Chipotle, Parmesan Garlic, Cajun, Southern Fried, Pineapple Curry, and Buffalo. Sadly, we weren’t blown away by any of the flavors and most were along the sweet end. I wish the Parmesan garlic had more of a garlicky taste. It was all served with their Firkin Dip, which pretty much tasted like Ranch dressing. The wings were served super hot and there was a generous amount of meat on them, so that’s definitely a plus. Because it’s made to order, it’s probably best to put your next order in once the first order comes out. That way you aren’t waiting as long in between each round. We probably wouldn’t do the AYCE chicken wings again though.
On another visit, we both finally ordered off their regular menu.
* The Butler «An 8 oz USDA Flatiron Steak served with asparagus and with whipped potatoes.» ($ 13.95) — The steak was rather under-​seasoned, which was apparent by all the Worcheshire sauce I was dumping on it. The whipped potatoes could have used more butter, perhaps I just expected more butter?
* Traditional Fish N Chips «Crispy Alaskan Cod hand-​battered with our Exclusive Pub-​made Beer Batter. Served with Fries, Tangy Tartar Sauce and a Grilled Lemon.» One Piece $ 10.95 or Two Pieces $ 13.95 — The Husband went for the two pieces and what a great choice it was. It was some really good fish and chips! And we were also able to substitute the fries with garlic fries, which were also super yummy. I probably enjoyed more of his meal than my own!
Overall, the food was alright, with the exception of the fish n chips (which is probably what we’d go back for). Service was fine — it seemed like they worked as a team since many hands touched our table. (The waiter/​waitress took our beverage and food order, the busboys brought out the food, etc.) We chose to sit at the tables by the bar instead of a booth so we could watch the TVs.
They have a unique beer card, similar to what we seen at a wine bar. Basically you pay for a card of a certain denomination, but you can sample a little bit of each beer they have on tap. You can take a little or a lot and it just deducts from your card. Useful when you just want to sample a bit of everything. It’s self-​service and along the back. They do have happy hour specials along with a decent drink menu with prices listed.
One other thing — no hot water in the restroom?!

This is a Vegas Hidden Gem. Not only do they coupon, but the happy hour and other deals were just amazing. On top of that the food was to die for. We ate here twice during our last trip and could not get enough of it. Great beer recs and the best fish and chips my son has ever had. My wife loved the glazed salmon (also recommended) by the waiter and I can vouch for the wings (totally legit & hot means hot).
The waitstaff was very attentive and this place is squeaky clean. It is tucked away in a strip shopping center and can be easy to miss (look for the Kiss mini-​golf). Is it really an English pub, I can’t vouch for that… but the food and drinks kick a**.
On my list of must do’s in Vegas!

It was not bad, but it wasn’t excellent. I visited Firkin because I had a groupon. It probably would not have been on my radar otherwise. Although, I might visit again if I went to the Hard Rock for a concert or some other kind of event.
The Firkin Pros:
–Big Portions + decent food
–Decent cocktail list with interesting concoctions + about 40ish beers on tap
–Lots of TVs
–Drink specials and food specials, although the specials are not available if you’re using a groupon
–The service was good (especially the bus boy)
–UNLV LOVE
The Firkin Cons:
–The overall cleanliness could have been better i.e.: crumbs on booth seats, toilet paper not in holder in restroom, the drink menu was wet (water?)
–Irish nachos were not worth the $ 7.95
–Mashed potatoes were not very good
Like I said, if I was leaving the Hard Rock looking for a bite to eat, Firkin would be an option for sure. Our bill came to $ 39 for an appetizer, meatloaf, firkin burger, and beer. Not too bad considering it’s fairly close to tourist central.

Came here twice in a month. First visit I had the fish n chips which was perfectly cooked and battered. The fried outside wasn’t too greasy, was light and crunchy. The cod on the inside was nice and thick to offer enough bite to the fish so you don’t feel like you’re actually eating a fish stick. The peach cobbler takes a little time to bake as they make everything from scratch using fresh peaches. When asked how fresh is it, our waiter said «it’s so fresh we don’t milk the cow for the ice cream and we don’t grow the peaches», and gave a big smile. I really like places where the servers give a bit of humor.
The 2^nd visit I had a groupon and the boyfriend and I got 3 entrees for 2 of us. We had bangers and mash which was so good I am never going back to Hofbrauhaus for sausage. Another entrée was the Jameson grilled salmon, man that was good! The salmon is fresh, not frozen as it was still juicy and moist on the inside and wasn’t even overcooked or dry on the outside. The Jameson sauce has a sweet onion taste to it, but it’s not overly sweet or sugary, it’s just enough to enhance the flavor of the salmon. The chicken pot pie had a super flaky and crispy crust with wonderfully cooked chicken inside. I was expecting hard chicken cubes like I normally get from overcooked chicken pot pies, but this one was really impressive as the chicken was in large enough chunks to taste like chicken and they were moist.
With a wide array of beers and gourmet food at an affordable price, especially from a college student, I want to be back to check out the beer specials. I forgot to mention they also show UFC fights on their many tv’s. Who needs to travel to Britain when the best stuff is here in Vegas?

I thought it might be too good to be true, this great-​looking restaurant/​pub, but after three visits I must say I love everything about it.
AYCE jumbo wings for $ 12? Amazing. And good sauces, too. My favorites being Bourbon Chipotle and a custom mix of Bourbon Chipotle with Suicide (just ask for it). Heat and sweet can’t be beat!
Nice big HDTVs, fun high-​top bar seating as well as booths with a scoping view of the corner of Harmon Avenue and Paradise Road.
Diverse clientele, an interesting mix of out-​of-​towners and locals. Cool vibe, and pleasant staff. Wish this place were in my neighborhood!

It’s supposed to be a British pub, right? But, nothing about the interior or the food screamed British to me. Of course my experience might be different than most because I was with a group (about 20ish?) for a friend’s birthday. A set amount was paid, we were seated at a long row of high-​top tables, given wristbands, and were subsequently spoiled with an all you can drink/​all you can eat extravaganza.
The AYCD portion included all drafts, well drinks, and house wine. They’ve got a decent mix of imports and domestics — most of which you’ve probably heard of or tasted elsewhere. The food they brought out was typical bar food. Sliders, wings, onion rings, spinach artichoke dip, potato skins… like I said, nothing that would make me think of a British pub. Unless, of course, southwest egg rolls originated across the pond. I didn’t look at their menu so for all I know it’s full of fish and chips, bangers and mash, and other British favorites. For bar food, it was decent. The sliders were the best of the bunch.
While the food wasn’t revolutionary, the service was. Plates were cleared quickly, plenty of food was brought out for everyone with lots left behind, bartenders were friendly, and the manager stopped by frequently to check up on things. All in all it was a good experience. We all had a great time, especially the birthday girl.

My friends and I are regulars at McMullan’s for trivia but we were in the mood to try something new. We heard about the new trivia at Firkin that is on Tuesdays at 7 and were excited to give it a try. They start a little earlier than McMullan’s, which is a plus, since it’s a work night.
We arrived around 6pm to get a seat and drinks before trivia started. They have happy hour specials that go until 7 as well as other beer specials that run throughout trivia, which is great. I only ordered an iced tea, and I have to say it was terrible. It was very watered down and didn’t taste very good at atll. I’ll stick with water or beer next time. Our server was attentive and friendly. One complaint on the drinks was that despite the bar not being overly crowded, about an hour in they began serving beers in plastic cups instead of glasses to everyone. I suspect they either don’t have enough staff to handle a trivia crowd and turn around on washing dishes or they need to invest in more glasses.
We enjoyed trivia, although McMullan’s still has my heart. They miscalculated our scores, but when we brought this to their attention they rectified the situation quickly. The food was just ok. I ordered a basic BLT-​A sandwich and devoured it quickly as I was starving. It was good, but really nothing special. My fella ordered the pineapple curry wings and these were the star of the show. I really enjoyed the flavor and look forward to returning just for these. I purchased the Groupon that is available solely to try these wings again. I don’t think this place has won us over from McMullan’s, but it’s an ok choice if you’re in the area.

Yikes, yikes, yikes. Without my Groupon I would have left here a very, very unhappy camper. Luckily, my friend and I were dining on a Groupon I purchased so I just left disappointed and will never be back.
This «English» pub has really no Brit to it, besides the interior and the look of the place, which feels more like it is too big for its own britches. With Americana rock n roll playing overhead and volleyball and basketball playing on the TVs I was having a WTF moment the whole time we dined. Add to that the as always menu you will find anywhere for a «British» establishment in Las Vegas. A majority of the menu is Americana grub food, not British.
Okay, so what about the food? I was highly disappointed in both my choices. I got the clam chowder — hardly a chowder, mostly white congealed broth with clams in it. When it arrived at the table it had a sheen on it, like it had been sitting around all day in a big colander in the back. I had to pepper the hell out of it to get flavor. Next — the «pub dip» — whatever it is called — it sucks. It is a ciabatta type roll with meandering wads of meat pushed into it served with au jus and a horrid tasting horseradish. I don’t know what was wrong with the horseradish, but I’m glad I got it on the side. Why serve this sandwich on a ciabatta roll I must ask, why?! A dip should have nice, squishy, soft bread to soak up the au jus! I was severely disappointed with my meal.
My friend has the fish and chips, and the «chips» were fries. Yes, in case you’re wondering, «chips» are typically much fatter than the ones they serve at Firkin. She said though that the fish was good, but the batter was a bit heavy.
And lastly — my friend ordered a cider drink and received a Boddington’s. Of course, I didn’t notice this until she offered the half-​drunk drink to me because she said she didn’t like it. As I took a big swig, expecting cider, I was awash with the taste of British beer… because I have had Boddington’s before. And indeed — there on our receipt it even said one pint of Boddington’s. Since the transgression had happened to so long ago, and all I really wanted to do was leave this establishment, which had hardly any patrons in it — we relented and paid our bill.
Never again frickin Firkin. FRICK I wish I’d never come here!

The Skinny: barely edible dishes — undercooked pie crust that ruined at least 2 dishes, soup that makes Campbell’s look gourmet (1); service/​ambience: f*(king loud as hell — was texting my hubby sitting across the table, slow dinner service (waited 20+ minutes for a salad and soup), have to admit — servers were nice which is why they deserve at least 2 stars for this (2); value: it’s an insult to pay for your food here. Take your well earned dollars and put ‘em to use elsewhere (1)
The only thing that made Firkin at least bearable was the knowledge that we paid for our meal mostly with a Groupon deal. Other than that, our experience here was poor.
We came here Monday night during a football game and they had jacked up the volume to ear drum splitting levels. The hubs and I were literally texting across the table because we couldn’t hear each other even though we were shouting at the top of our lungs.
We’d come primarily to taste their English pub food and not to imbibe. However I’m thinking the food probably would have tasted better if you were f&*king trashed to hell.
We ordered the Apple Cobbler, Chicken Pot Pie, Tomato Soup, and the Baby Spinach salad. Of the four dishes, the only ones which was vaguely edible was the salad and the soup.
I ordered the baby spinach salad with bacon, tomato, pine nuts and dried cranberries with balsamic dressing ($ 8.95). The pine nuts were raw. The tomato was mealy. The bacon was served in ungainly large chunks while the dressing was completely generic. But at least this was the most edible thing we ordered.
The tomato soup ($ 4.95) paled in comparison to good ol’ Campbell’s soup. It tasted like warmed over ketchup with very little complexity and no basil flavouring to speak of. But again — at least edible.
What wasn’t edible was the two items that required pie crust. Undercooked, it was doughy and completely unappetizing in both the chicken pot pie and the apple cobbler. The chicken pot pie’s crust was simply not cooked and soggy. Add the gloppy pie filling consisting of macerated chicken pieces, carrots and celery, it made for an unappealing dish.
In the apple cobbler, where the pie crust served as a base, the chef had obviously neglected to pre-​bake the crust underneath the pie to actual cook the pastry. Throw in the fact that the crumble topping was not even browned, it was an all around fail.
Perhaps the only redeeming quality of the place was that the servers were pleasant and they tried to do their best despite the loud noise and the obvious kitchen issues.
Thankfully, we had a Groupon to use at this culinary wasteland and therefore did not pay full price for the items we were served. I pity others who have. For the slow kitchen and poor quality food, this place rates a 2-​star and only because our service was okay. Would not recommend.

I am a huge fan of Brit, Irish, Spaniard, pubs, awesome beers andepic soccer games. They just go perfect with each other just like Tom Waitts drinking habits and his awesome music, megatron and optimus, me and strippers. you know the usual .
This Place felt more of a hipster wanna be brit place. A fabricated idea to satisfy tourists and others that cant make it to the german spot right across or don’t want to go inside the hard rock hotel because its too packed or too expensive. Don’t get me wrong. looks great but it is just missing «IT»
There are enough TV’s and most of them were on American sports. including nascar. I was like. uhhh…yeah.thats not
was busy enough but lots of spots to seat. It is kinda too big.
The food was OK. only remarkable thing was the French fries. Super crispy and very well cooked inside, but other than that everything was just OK. The burger meat was good. A little on the dry side but not bad. I give it an ok because the French fries came and saved the day again. I ordered a pound of wings. which sounds a lot right? Well there were only 9 wings. We also ordered the Irish nachos. which is circular
cuts of french fries with melted cheese on top on a little tiny plate. Super disappointed on that. Don’t expect guac, salsa, nothing. I mean why the heck even call them nachos… The only impressive thing about the menu was the lack of good food.
Beer selection is pretty decent but the size /​price relation is a little off. Also some beers were only bottled and not even the rare ones. Prices were accesible
Service… we had to hunt for our server a couple of times. 15 minutes to get our check, refills were slow, however when she was there she was very personable. Not sure if they are understaffed or what .
So in conclusion if you want the vegas version of a brit pub where everything feels fabricated and fake, then you will enjoy it, Dont get me wrong; It is a nice spot that can def deliver some good times but if you are in the search for good euro food, service, ambiance and an awesome variety of beer, then Ill recommend to look around for another place.
May the soccer, good beer and raging fish and chips gods be with you
on this search!

I liked the bar tops and the fact that it was nicely lit at this pub… that’s about it. Wait, the fries were pretty good…
My bf’s brother got the fish sandwich with a side of wilted salad. Yes, wilted because they had put the salad on the same plate as the fish sandwich, and the plate must have been placed under the heat lamp for quite some time prior to making it to our table.
I had the fish and chips, and again, I must admit that the garlic fries were pretty good. The fish however, was not as good as I had hoped it to be. The batter did not hold to the fish. It was not fluffy and airy with the crisp to it.
My boyfriend had the Bangers, bean and mash. All three of us came to the agreement that the bangers tasted like breakfast sausage. Very underwhelmed.
Will I be coming back to this Firkin place (which is a chained pub btw), highly doubted.

After my husband’s birthday party at KISS Mini-​Golf was said and done, a handful of us decided we weren’t quite ready to head home. While hanging out in the parking lot discussing our options, we noticed the sign for Firkin. Having my handy Unilocal knowledge, I knew this place just opened and that they had over 40 beers on tap. I was easily able to sell my friends on the idea of hanging out there for the rest of the (late) night.
The space inside of Firkin is quite large with plenty of seating for dinner, as well as a large bar and a lounge area with couches and pool tables. Everything is new and shiny and there are plenty of TV’s to catch a game. The employees were super friendly and very knowledgeable despite only have been open for a few weeks. Everyone in our group really enjoyed the atmosphere here.
They offer specials almost every night of the week, and for this particular night (Friday) they had $ 3 well drinks and house wine. Sadly, I didn’t get to take advantage of these offers having had too much to drink at the party beforehand. My friends, however, decided on getting one of the many draft beers available and they were able to sample a couple to see what they liked before putting in their orders. I’m not sure if it’s standard procedure to get samples or if they were being nice to us since we wandered in at one in the morning; either way, my friends were grateful.
Firkin offers a full menu but I didn’t have a chance to check it out to see the items or pricing. They also have a limited late night menu from which I ordered the onion rings, one of the few vegetarian choices I saw. The onion rings were good but a bit too greasy for me. For the late night menu, think typical pub fare like fish and chips and lots of appetizers.
My friends and I were all glad that we made the walk over the parking lot to give Firkin a try. It was nice to sit down and hang out by the bar to eat and drink and then move the party on over to the lounge area. Things are a little slow there right now since they are new, in a parking lot with a ton of dead retail space, and their location has a blocked view from Hard Rock. If tourists were smart, they would come over to Firkin to pregame with cheap drinks before heading over to Hard Rock for the clubs or gambling.
I definitely recommend for the good atmosphere, huge beer selection, and great drink specials.
In the same parking lot as KISS Mini-​Golf, across Harmen from the Hard Rock.
