Joey’s Tavern

Second time we have eaten lunch here and once again we were impressed. Great service by the bartender/​waitress. The food came out quick, hot and cooked exactly how we asked. The onion rings are great! Super crispy and huge! Don’t go here if you are not very hungry, the portion sizes are enormous!
Sorry folks you can’t take your kids here either, but that is a good excuse to have an adults only meal.
We will be back!

Best bar/​food I’ve had in Las Vegas. Everything was excellent.

Good drinks, good service. I didn’t have much for food, but everyone else seemed to enjoy what they ordered. :)

We’ve driven by the shopping center housing Joey’s Tavern at least 100 times and never knew it existed.
made us an offer we couldn’t refuse, especially since we had several certificates to trade in from other defunct places.
This is a big joint, and on this night it was almost empty at the large gaming bar, and totally empty in the dining room at 9:00 p.m. Getting a table was a piece of cake, but we were here for dinner, not dessert.
The dining room was dreary: brown benches against starkly empty lighter brown walls without a hint of decoration, surrounding brown tables and chairs in the center. It was depressing, made more so by the absence of other customers. I wanted to pick up a paintbrush and go Jackson Pollack on those walls. But then I took a walk to survey the rest of the place.
The far opposite end had a few pool tables and some pub tables, and some decoration that made it a 180 from its cohort on the other side. But the central bar area had some comfy booths with color, the flashing lights from the TVs, and the view of booze bottles. We switched, and it made an instant difference.
The menu was disappointing, since a third of the items were inked out, which made it hard to find something to order. And if we wanted to use that certificate we had to spend $ 50 bucks! Ah, the life of a couponing diner is tough. Finally, we settled on a chicken quesadilla appetizer, a bowl of tortilla soup and a side salad for Herb, fish and chips for his entrée, and grilled tilapia for me.
The quesadilla was terrific, full of tender and meaty chicken, bacon, cheese and avocado. The tortilla soup was a huge bowlful. It had a lot of chicken and canned chopped tomatoes, but was lacking spice, avocado, and substance. It was very watery, and had no relation to the beloved tortilla soup of my Mexico past life. The tortilla strips were served on the side. Salad was ordinary iceberg with two kinds of cheese and some chopped tomatoes. Nothing special, and it was missing the croutons I think the menu had specified, but the tortilla strips did double duty.
For the entrees, the fish of the «Fish and Chips» was good, though the chips weren’t well done, as asked for. My tilapia dish had two pieces of the fish, a lot of rice, and a veggie mix. When I see those crinkle-​cut carrots, I know they came out of a freezer bag. Unfortunately, half of that portion apparently didn’t make it into the pot, because it was still frozen. I was already full from my quarter of the quesadilla and the pint of Angry Orchard I was chugging down, so I didn’t make a big deal out it, knowing those veggies would live to be reheated — or heated — another day. The fish was perfectly cooked, though, and well-​seasoned, even if that, too, came out of a freezer.
Our waiter/​bartender, Joey, gave us excellent service. There’s a good chance we’ll return. Though they’ll probably have to let me decorate the main dining room in order to do that. I work for food. :)

Blew me away! The service (Melissa) was amazing, the food though was to die for! Can we take a moment to mention portion sizes? I don’t think they know what those are because everything is giant! No complaints here though because it is all so dang delicious! 100% recommend this place!

Great as always. The nachos are huge and filling. Nice atmosphere. Good prices. O and kids are welcome. Food is great.

My bf and I love this place! We always get great service, strong drinks, and great food :) we come here almost every Saturday and have never been disappointed. Recommend trying their martinis and bloody marys! :)

Although I have yet to win anything playing their machines I can say that the food here is great! 2 breakfasts here to date and tonight was a doozie! Get the garlic chicken pizza. Just do it. It is amazing! Best pizza ever!

Service was great, food was terrible. Our server Jennifer was friendly and outgoing. For example, fajita tacos, with canned pinto beans… everything seemed to come from a can. The best thing was our server Jennifer. Thank you Jennifer :)

This place is great.
The tables were clean and staff was attentive. We just stopped in for some burgers and fries. No complaints at all! Burger was cooked medium as I had requested and my Gfs was well done. Will come back again!

Went to the «jam» last night. Pretty bad. Not so much the musicians but the general overall presentation of the show. Really, really bad sound quality. Really bad acoustics in the room. Really bad mix. Really bad lighting. It is a shame because the idea has merit. It is just that the execution was terrible. It didn’t seem that most of the players were performing for the audience. They were there to feed their egos. Why is it that these decent players don’t understand stage presence or actually listen to their end product with a critical ear? When you throw a bunch of good players together in a lousy setting, it equals lousy. There was one good act that sounded great (not the house band — their set was boring and sounded horrible). Unfortunately after they played a couple songs they got quickly ushered from the stage in favor of a really bad amateur act that looked and sounded like they just rolled out of bed.
We went there expecting a showcase and found a garage band rehearsal. Had to leave because it went downhill quickly.
I heard that it used to be better when there was a different host. I don’t know about that but I know I won’t be back under current conditions. Seems like yet another case of management that doesn’t care about quality entertainment as long as they are selling drinks. Very sad.

Nick is by far the best bartender in Vegas behind Chance «Boom Son» Weber. You should come see Nick if you’re having a good night or even a bad night. Either way it ends well.

Fun, Food and Booze… Happy Friday night! Loco Moco yummy and only $ 7! Enjoyed the hamburger patty with brown gravy with mushrooms and onions! Sticky rice was cooked to perfection! Comfy big chairs!

Nice atmosphere, plays blues and jazz bands on the weekends. I haven’t got to try they’re food yet but I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Will definitely be back.

Very disappointed today. Been coming here for months and now the same older woman bartender kept trying to tell me that I owed money on our tab when we had played $ 100 for 4 drinks. $ 20 per drink. I think I’m doing that math right. Sorry to have to take one of my favorite off my list, but after her attitude, I won’t be going back.

My husband and I recently moved into the area and were looking for a new neighborhood bar for our weekly date night. We went in on a weekday late afternoon during happy hour. My first thought was wow it’s hidden, but I really like the atmosphere inside. We got a bbq chicken pizza and it was great. Our only complaint is that the bartender all but ignored us. He seemed like a nice enough guy by his interactions with the 4 other patrons who were obviously regulars. But, I was only able to get 2 refills and my husband only got 1 while we were there. We would have stayed longer if we had gotten better service, we might have even become regulars. We might give it another try on a different day or shift.

Came here for the first time with some friends.
My friends were an hour delayed in meeting me, and some super nice bartenders kept me company. They offered to change the channels on the TV — a simple thing to ask, but something bartenders never offer. They made stiff drinks and refilled quickly.
I thought the food was great. I ordered a chicken southwest salad (can’t remember the name on the menu), and it was gigantic. Super fresh. Only thing I would’ve liked was if the iceberg lettuce was mixed with something a bit more hearty and green (spinach, mixed greens, etc.).
They have a jam band that plays every Saturday that took the stage around 9ish. I loved the vibe. They take requests, they play hits, and anyone can take the stage with an instrument or a voice as long as you sign in first. They were super fun and audience engaged.
For two gigantic liquor drinks and a HUGE salad, my total was only $ 20. I consider that a deal!
Tip for the antisocial:
The singer/​MC does come out into the audience and converse with you on the microphone, so if you hate audience interaction, don’t sit up in the stage area.
Frankly, I’m surprised this place doesn’t have better reviews. I got great and friendly service from the bar staff, the food came out super quick, and it had a nice and relaxed vibe about it.
And yes, this place used to be a Timbers, but I got better service and better quality than I ever got at any of the local Timbers.

Beer is always on point here, if you are a big eater there is triple cow challenge burger that comes with a lb of fries if you don’t finish it thou it will cost you $ 20. The fish tacos are the best item on the menu!

First time here and I am happy I was invited to Rock and Sol-​All-​Stars-​Jam! The music was amazing. From Blues to Jazz to Soul a little disco and some Rock and Roll. The band was incredible as well as all the singers who performed.
Got there around 930pm and it was not too busy until around 11pm, and than the house started filling up. Lots of drinking and dancing going on, everyone was very nice and easy to be around.
Definitely will stop in again!

Had a late lunch/​early dinner with the work wife after taking in a movie. Nestled in the corner of Craig & Tenaya. Located in what was once a former Timbers, Joey’s has something for everyone. The service was friendly and seeing how this was last day I gave a S&*$ about calories, I was prepared to stuff myself. I ordered a burger and split a pizza and chugged down a few beers. The server was a very nice lady. All in all a solid three star experience.
