Backstop Sports Pub - Boulder City

Tourists from the UK and during a couple of weeks holiday in Vegas we popped over to Boulder City a couple of months ago. Me, my wife and a couple of our friends stumbled across this bar… wanted to go in as looked like the real deal Americana bar we’ve seen in movies (neon beer brand signs, big pool tables, bar stools (not a thing in England . Didn’t disappoint at all. We felt really welcomed. Even created a bit of space at the bar so we could sit together. Oh and drinks were cheap as chips! Loved it. Heading back in May 2024! This place is number 1 on the list at sundown!

Boulder City's historic bar. Friendly people, inexpensive cocktails.

No food served here. Get your own drinks at the bar. Pool tables and live music makes for a fun atmosphere. Didn't like all the smoke.

This bar is a little taste of heaven. The owner is so charming and good looking you forget your at a bar but drift away to a sexy night club!! You have to go in on the weekend shift to meet one of the most charming little person I have ever met. She will melt your heart with her courage and kindness.

Forget all the other reviews bitching about bar staff being drunk, not paying attention to customers not being local or dive bar audience. Just not true. Does not picture the actual experience. Backstop is a main reason why I keep coming back to Boulder City when staying in Vegas. Third year in a row. Being from Austria, Europe, it reminds me of my fav hangout in Vienna. Total home from home. Yes, it's smoky (Nevada, hello?!? , beer is 3$, bar staff is way beyond great service (especially Audra, who happens to be hot, I might add , locals are totally open to meet a foreign guy from Europe with blond hair and glasses (so no Redneck alert in the desert and though it's a true dive bar, no bar fight has been witnessed yet : I know Boulder City pretty well – and the Backstop is a perfect gem after sunset (if you'd like to avoid the usual sports bar modeled after every single same looking chain pub around those 50 states . Cheap beer, a cigarette, great live bands, awesome staff. That's what you wanna have in the most beautiful scenery in the Vegas suburb!
