Mountain Springs Saloon

Epic, local-feel, small, rough at the edges, iconic saloon that personifies that western, rugged indivualist free spirit, where locals, bikers, rock climbers and the occasional tourist commune. Very good food - good burgers and ribs - served from a small outbuilding in back with a nice, shaded outdoor terrace for those warm Las Vegas days. Today, the house treated everyone in the bar to a shot of Fireball Whiskey! Trophy critters mounted in the ceiling...and, literally, thousands of one dollar bills are taped to just about every object and surface above your shoulders: walls, columns, beams, animal trophies...oh, and a very mellow bull/mastiff house dog with an enormous head.

This place is so unique and unusual. If you want to go somewhere outside the city that feels like you’re in the country with whether that is 8° or 10° cooler than Las Vegas this is where you should go. It’s a biker bar but don’t be fooled because it is super friendly and family oriented. It has a restaurant in the back with a pond and a bar upfront. They have a pig roast every month And tons of people come out for the celebration of food and live music.

Had so much fun here. The ladies in back that make the food were great! First time.
