Gold Mine Tavern

Worst service I can recall having at a local Las Vegas bar!  Indeed "Hendertucky", and they show it. Rude bartenders, awful cocktails that were watered down and just made poorly. Each time myself or one of my friends wanted a drink, we had to wave down for service (and we were sitting right AT THE BAR), then often got the eye roll thing as if we were a bother. If not for the fact that a friends band was playing there the night we went, I would NEVER go to this place. Hey bartenders, try and take some lessons in kindness and good CUSTOMER SERVICE, and perhaps a class in how to make a cocktail,
will ya'!!!!!  Good grief!

Hole in the wall out in the middle of Downtown Henderson. Small bar venue, with some pool tables and a loud, hipster/skater crowd.....I very much enjoyed the scenery but wasn't able to feel chemistry with anyone in the place. Oh-wait!...there was a guy sitting at the bar watching some game all alone who I ended up chatting with most of the night. haha! A lot of early/mid twenties crowd, lots of ruckus and SMOKING GALORE! Smoke cloud alert!!!!

It was a cool place to check out but not my thang!

i fail to see how Gold Mine Tavern has so many 5 star reviews.  This place just doesn't do it for me, and I've been in quite a few times.

The highlights are that they are located close to home for me, have live music qutie frequently....and that's about it.

I've been in at different times - during the middle of the day when it was dead (probably the best time) and on busy weekend nights when it was slammed.  The video poker machines suck, as does the service a lot of times.  

I am sure that there are regulars who frequent this place and receive super prompt service, but in my opinion, as a bartender, you should try and treat everyone like a regular.  Like, you see someone enter and sit at the bar - you should totally APPROACH them and ask what they would like to drink.  That just doesn't happen here - the bartenders are too into their conversations to help customers that they don't know.  

And that's unfortunate, because I would much rather support a hip local bar, rather than go to a large chain.
