I'm a fan because of Klinq, and I love the 99 cent beer!
The remodel is OK, but skews way too youthful for my taste. I had a Chicago dog on a tortilla, which was pretty good. Had to try it with their hot sauce assortment, but didn't check the numbers on the bottles first. So a 9 is very hot! But the hot dog was good, it had lots of peppers & onions. Love the Airstream in the back.
Don't be fooled by the creepiness of the outside!! This place is so cute and fun! Downtown is really coming alive. Great for locals to enjoy a night out with out the craziness of the strip. Bar inside and out lots of openness for seating. Ever want to play shuffle board cruise ship style with out the rocking of the boat, play some giant four square with out having to let kids win or enjoy some giant beer pong well this is your place!! They even have cool outdoor seating and live bands. I only didn't give it a 5 because I haven't tried the food yet. So I guess will just have to keep going back until I remember to try it.
Review Source:Such an awesome plae and hidden gem of Las Vegas!! They have FREE games like shuffleboard, bags/cornhole and giant jenga! The drinks are reasonable priced! They have a live band on the weekends most time! Its a great place to lounge and hang out with friends! My only complaint is the lack of gambling...if and when this place gets some slot machines or table games Gold Spike is gonna rocking all week long!!!!
Review Source:Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and I was very impressed with the place. Â There is PLENTY of seating inside! Â To the left of the bar, there was a king sized bed, bean bags, and lots and lots of tables. Â I really enjoyed the fact that there was enough space to hang out and not feel like a sardine. Â They also have a cafe where you could grab some food and there is also shuffleboard, pool tables, and this glow in the dark room inside.
Outside it feels like I'm at a kickback in somebody's backyard.  It was very chill and relaxing.  There was a couple of couches in the corner and some tables scattered around.  You can play giant connect 4, giant jenga, beer pong, and that game where you toss  a beanbag into a hole.  The night I went there, they also had a live band playing, suh-weeet! Â
Their drink prices are pretty awesome too. Â I had sangria for $8 and my friend got snakebites (guinness and cider) for $6. Â The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the wait to get the bartender's attention. Â It wasn't very busy at the bar, but the bartender ignored me and the two other girls I was with (even though we were right in front of him) Â and tended to these other guys who got there after us. Â We waited to get his attention for 10 minutes and my friend said it's always like that... Â So ladies, if you want a drink, you should probably take a man friend with you to get the bartender's attention. Â
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks are priced right. Â I'll come back for more good vibes!
So much fun!!! Like many of the reviews I agree this is like a grown up playground. Only thing it lacked is 4 square and a tether ball but other than that its got it all. Service was a little slow but the bar tender apologized immediately and thanked us for our patience. Decor is fantastic including interconnected handcuffs for the bar chains. Drinks are averaged price but a better beer selection than many other bars nearby. Overall I loved it and will be back my next visit to LV!
Review Source:Your mouth gets treated to amazing import beers and tasty food. Not the best drink specials but the prices overall are still good. A lot better than other bars Downtown.
Your hands get treated to a great selection of fun games like oversized darts, oversized corn-hole, and oversized chess. You can also checkout board games to play with friends or complete strangers.
Your buns get treated to very comfortable seating complete with huge beanbag chairs or even lay down in bed and mingle.
Pretty great place to hang out. You can do a little work in the daytime with your laptop or do a little work at night with vodka.
Up to you buddy.
One of my top spots downtown when you want to either get some work done during the day (and not have to purchase expensive coffee to sit down), PLUS they have super fast FREE internet so that always makes working better.
At night you can play giant sized games (like giant connect four, beer pong, and jenga).
Check it out! I can promise you won't be let down.
The boyfriend and I went to meet a large group of friends here to celebrate one of the birthdays in the group. I wondered what made them choose The Gold Spike, I had been there in the past and it was a decent enough bar, casino lobby but nothing to brag about. Ha! They are bragging now! This place rocks! Finally a place in town that's not a loud techno dropping, smokey, crowded, expensive hot mess! LOVED it!
My BF said got your ID ready and I'm thinking why they heck to they need that at the door. I imagine my eyes where wide open in shock as we stepped through the door. It's wide open with the bar and the little deli still in tacked but they have removed the slot machines and added random lounge spots with couches, bean bags, large comfy chairs and tall tables as well. They've added pool tables and over sized games, giant corn hole, yard jenga, giant beer pong, giant connect four and much more! Outside is an even awesomer, yea I went there, lounge area with more seats and a band and another bar. I'm sure I missed some of the other features but it was love at first sight. I love that it was big and there were a lot of people but you wouldn't know, unless you were waiting on drinks at the bar, because you were not bumping into people. Speaking of the bar, which was busy and pretty slow to get served, I'm not sure pricing, I didn't pay but you could get a pitcher of PBR for $12, not terrible. There is no smoking inside so you don't go home smelling like an ash tray and have to wash your hair again after you already washed it to go out. Â Did I tell you I love this place! We'll definitely be back soon.
Gold Spike really needs two listings. One for daytime activities and one for the nightlife. In the day, it's a blessing for anyone who telecommutes. Sometimes when you work from home you just need to get out before your house starts feeling like a jail cell. The free wifi (decent speeds), plenty of outlets and long tables around the bar allow you to spread out and really get some work done. JAIL BREAK! In some ways it still feels like my house though. TV's, good beer, solid tunes and super models. Fine, I made that last one up. Added bonus that cafe serves solid food on the cheap and delivers it to your table. Gold Spike FTW!
At night you can really make use of the outdoor area. They provide (more) cornhole sets, jumbo Jenga, another bar and often times a band rocking out by a Silver Bullet style trailer. Def worth a stop next time you're bar hopping downtown.
A group of us went here my first night in Vegas. Â It was a great time and I wish we had something like this where I live. Â It's chock full of all kinds of over-sized games. Â Inside, there's giant cornhole with what seems like 5 lb beanbags (the first time you throw, you will most certainly come up short, way short), shuffleboard, pool, hop scotch, darts and connect four. Â There's also a huge bed and a bunch of giant beanbags for relaxing.
Outside is super chill. Â It has sort of an upscale backyard feel to it. Â They have a bunch of outdoor seating with live music and even more games which included Jenga, more cornhole and beer pong. Â Loved it out there!
The only negative I could come up with is that this place is big, a little too big in my opinion. Â Seeing other reviews, I can see why now since it used to be a casino. Â I feel like the night I went it had a pretty good amount of people there but since there's just so much space to cover it almost felt kind of empty. Â I feel like this environment would benefit in a more intimate space but that's just me. Â We still had the best time and I only wish they would've fixed the photo booth for us. Â We really wanted to leave with a group shot of all 7 of us crammed in there.
Like the atmosphere With the remodel. Went to see a band on a Friday night very good music.. REALLY REALLY HORRIBLE service inside at the bar two girls that did not have a clue behind the bar.. Very rude and slow 20 minutes for a drink is absurd. Then when u ask nicely they give u an attitude like its not there problem
Review Source:This isn't the same Gold Spike as a few months ago... I'm not going to lie I thought it was the dumbest thing when I heard they were closing the casino and just opening as a bar, I thought "How dare they just waste a gaming license like that" but I gotta say every time i come downtown, I want to come here.
They have a wonderful outdoor area with a giant Jenga, corn hole (both normal and jumbo) and a life sized beer pong which uses a dodge ball and huge trash cans.
Inside they have another big corn hole, shuffle board (both the mini bar version and one that old people play), games you can rent out, darts, Golden Tee, pool and Foosball.
The inside also has a cafe (haven't been), bean bag chairs and other unique sitting areas. Â On weekends they have a DJ in the security booth and don't surprised to see Tony Hsish chillin at the bar!
This is a place I try and take everyone, it kinda makes you feel like in college again. Â I even took my dad in the early evening and it was quiet just watching SportsCenter at the bar.
Go here! and bring your friends! this place is amazingly fun. I've been to Vegas a few times, but I just recently discovered this place on my most recent visit. Â When you walk in you are greeted with a much-appreciated whoosh of cold air and the smell of apples (strange, but true, everyone commented on the apple scent). Â Inside there are random areas for seating, including a big bed and several huge lovesac bean bag chairs. Â Outside there are more seating areas with comfy patio furniture to sit on and watch your friends play giant Jenga or giant beer pong or cornhole. Â There is a counter where you can check out board games to play including Operation, Lasers, and Cards Against Humanity. Â My only issue is that no one is stationed at the counter and you are supposed to ask your server to bring you a game, but we could never track down a server.... we just ordered drinks from the bar. Â They had a live band there that started playing outside at 10 pm. Â While I usually love live music, it was a little too loud to still comfortably talk to friends.
Review Source:Omg where have I been?! I have been a long time downtown patron and had no idea this place existed. Lol, geez.
Thought this place was cool, still don't know if this place is even a hotel or not. Â Reminds me of the 3rd floor of Cosmo. Â And you know what, it doesn't smell like downtown in here. Â It's equipped with a DJ and lots of games to challenge your friends. I must be faded Because I can't even play tic tac toe. Lol. Â
To good times in the heart if downtown!
FINALLY! A place where you can hang out grab a beer and not smell secondhand and hear about hitting a royal!
AND ITS DOWNTOWN!
Amazing atmosphere of games and lounging that you wish your backyard and treehouse looked like when you were growing up! Â Drink prices are reasonable for downtown and the cafe has a surprisingly fresh menu!
How can you not love a place with:
- A Giant Jenga Game
-  An  Enormous Connect 4 Game
- Â A Huge Beer Pong Game (seriously, if the rules applied, you'd die)
- Â A bed in the middle of the room
- Â Bean Bag chairs...everywhere (giant ones too)
It's a bar, cafeteria, game zone-- It was crazy fun!!! Â
...and they have a cooperative co-working environment I plan to check out very soon.

Erase whatever preconceived notions you had about the Gold Spike. I always thought of it as a run down, old casino with a shitty, yet awesome $4.99 steak and egg breakfast.
On Monday night, friends requested that I join them down there and I am extremely grateful I did. The entire space has been cleaned out and modernly decorated. I entered a giant man cave. This is a large, open space with large games everywhere, a back patio, a bar, and a cafe. It's all non-smoking (which I learned the hard way by lighting up at the bar, but the staff was completely cool about it).
There are several large versions of Connect 4, Shuffleboard, and Bean Bag Toss. There are several pool tables and a large Jenga game outside. There is plenty of lounge seating inside and on the back patio. There is also a little booth were you can borrow board games like Clue, Monopoly, etc. Â There are large beds with plush pillows and giant bean bag chairs. The tables have large books full of art and history. Â It's a beautiful and open space. The best part, all of these games are 100% free. This place delivers so much fun and happiness. What a wonderful concept! Brought to Las Vegas from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FZappos.com&s=4e6a3e1a24a550504ddb26139053e9f4b55eaf75b7b4bf227abec54a4b9536f7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Zappos.com</a> and the Downtown Project.
The drinks are inexpensive and they offer gluten free and organic bottled beers. The bar area is the only place in which underage patrons aren't permitted. Such a great place for those teetering between the 20-21 years of age. Best of both worlds.
The Gold Spike is a wonderful addition to downtown and offers fun for the whole family without hurting your pocket. Cannot wait to go back!
Dropped in randomly after dinner with some friends from out of town - Monday night, quiet but still a buzz inside. All of the games are awesome, especially if you're with a competitive group. Giant Jenga is fun but a little scary (that's real, unsealed wood, yo). Clean, cheap drinks, and a wonderful vibe.
PS: Get everyone together on the bed and read 50 Shades in different accents. Thank me later.
Gold Spike isn't what it used to be. Downtown Project totally gutted the old downtown casino and transformed it into a hipster magnet. The slot machines, tables, everything is gone. In its place is now a chill hang out spot complete with cheap drinks, good food and plenty of entertainment.
The lounge areas is what makes a visit to the Spike worth it. Huge bean bag chairs and comfy couches surround "board" games spread throughout the property. Giant versions of Connect 4, and Jenga is what everyone raves about. Overall great atmosphere, total 180 of the old smokey casino that Gold Spike used to be. Be warned though: more and more people are finding out about GS and its geting packed weekend evenings.
I think the true upside of this place is that it is FUN! Giant Jenga, bean bags, connect four ...and to be frank - it is an absolute escape from the loud casino noises. It simply had an atmosphere that was completely chill.
In Vegas ... there are few choices for an environment that is relaxing ...yet this was just that environment. I also appreciated the range of ages and ethnicities represented there. Worth visiting with friends to help with the heavy lifting (in that the Jenga blocks require more than one player...)
Had a real good time at this adult fun center with two full-size pool tables and a menagerie of assorted games all over with a center bar. Â Very roomy atmosphere, a bed in the middle. Â Who knows what goes on there? Â A fun center for adults. Â Cool first date place or place to hang out with your buddies.
Review Source:This place is freaking awesome. One stop shop for a guaranteed good night. I haven't had the opportunity to come here on a weekend night yet but I've come by for a couple of happy hours and it's always a good time!
Cheap drafts, great wells, and solid food. But the best part are the games and lounging areas! They have over-sized corn hole, pool tables, outdoor seating, huge bean bag chairs, luxurious couches, huge shuffleboard, life-size connect 4, and during the day it's an open work space!
Seriously, just a fun place to come with friends and/or strangers to have a great night. I'll be back soon!
I stopped by the other day to meet a friend and I have to say, it's looking pretty good! It was like stepping into a game room for adults without all the noise. I like the fact that I did not see any video poker machines anywhere in the hotel. There were awesome over-sized games everywhere, like a game of Connect Four on the wall. The decor is pretty fabulous, including a bed, to relax in the middle of the room. the outside is also fabulous, with a small grassy area and night time live music. This is not your typical Vegas hotel.
This is going to be a great place to meet up with friends and business associates.
This is an amazing hang out spot. Now that Downtown Project Group has moved in to clear out the gaming, they have turned it into the ultimate lounge. It is all self contained as well. With the Grill and bar close by, the guest will never go hungry or thirsty.
Those conveniences leaves me more time to play darts, both kinds of shuffleboard, billiards, the corn hole game, large jenga, board games, or even beer pong in the backyard. Do you need a place to lounge and red Fifty Shades of Grey? You are in luck. The bed, near the bar, has a copy of it and you are more than welcome to get a group of friends to have story time.
No gaming. No smoking. No trace of Vegas left in it. As usual, Downtown Project took a neighborhood staple and ruined it with Tony's San Francisco vision.
We were here on the last night it was a casino, and were disgusted by the flock of Zapponians, all dressed exactly the same (like a cult), playing bad wedding music on the jukebox and having a grand old time celebrating the fact that their Dear Leader was about to put a bunch of people out of a job.
More recently, I literally spent a half-hour attempting to track down ANYONE who wanted to take my money for the Diet Coke I ordered. A person who values their time would've just walked out (It's 4 cents worth of syrup, for christ's sake), but they've got prominent security everywhere, presumably to keep the old regulars and other characters from the neighborhood out. We can't have any of those scum in Tony's New Downtown, can we?
For a place backed by a company with an outspoken devotion to "Service," the service here is really atrocious.
Unfortunately, despite all of its flaws, and the fact that I'm basically supporting the Evil Empire destroying downtown by going there, I will probably be back when I get sick of working in my windowless office in The Ogden. I'll definitely sit at the bar next time, lest they forget about me...again.
Slow service. Â Somehow the food always takes a while to come out. Â But all the staff is very friendly.
Decent food. Â Most everything on the menu is not bad but nothing special. Except for the fetucinni alfredo which is quite aweful.
BUT HOT DAMN ITS A FUCKING AWESOME HAMBURGER. Â I like the regular or the swiss and mushroom more than the BBQ burger. Â I think the lettuce and tomatoes are necessary to make it feel a cohesive whole. Â But damn, whoever is back there working their magic, they love them a good burger.
I suggest getting the "onion spikes" instead of the fries.
Love love love this place!! I truly cannot get enough of it. You can find me here multiple times per week! I love what the Downtown Project has done to the interior, making if feel like a swanky lounge, yet it also feels like you could kick back and relax. There are a wide variety of games and activities to be enjoyed inside in addition to the full bar.
The grill is cool, too - they have a veggie sandwich that is absolutely delightful with fresh flavors that truly pop. A MUST TRY is the Stigl on tap. It's a grapefruit beer that really tastes like a grapefruit soda - it's perfect for the summertime, yet a little pricey at $9 each.
The outside area is also a treat with giant beer pong, man-sized jenga and a gigantic cornhole set - it's a blast to hang out next to the airstream and listen to a sweet bluegrass band jam.
Man, I love the 'Spike.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the brand spanking new Gold Spike. Â Brought to you by The Downtown Project team and <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FZappos.com&s=4e6a3e1a24a550504ddb26139053e9f4b55eaf75b7b4bf227abec54a4b9536f7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Zappos.com</a>. Â Since the grand opening, I have been back every single weekend...oh, and to no other location downtown! Â That says a lot for me as I get bored with a place. Â Nope, not with the Gold Spike. Â
Let's start off with the ambiance. Â This place is a lounging paradise! Â Comfortable, over sized lounge chairs everywhere. Â They have a HUGE California King (or even bigger) in the middle of the joint, where you can sit down, have some drinks on, or lie on. Â They also have high top tables and chairs if you prefer that as well. You can even bring your laptop and work. Â They have free Wifi!!!! Â And the greatest thing about the inside? Â IT'S SMOKE FREE!!!! Â
Go outside and they have another lounge area with comfortable couches. Â Need more? Â They have lounge patio and cushions chairs all around the outside area. Â Then, there's the airstream. Â It's definitely at conversation starter. Recently, they installed a large golden statue of a cobra snake. Â That was kind of odd. Â I think the quirky books, trinkets, decorations and bed set this place apart from other downtown lounges. Â
The other thing that makes this place rock is the amount things you can do there. Â Start with the jukebox and the photo booth by the bar. Â Behind the photo booth, you have a couple of dart boards to enjoy with friends. Â Then, there's the shuffleboard. Â It's inside and super fun. Â Next to it is the pool table and a HUGE corn hole game set up. Â My favorite game! Â You can always check out the board games they have behind the counter as well. Â Go outside and there's another huge cornhole along with two normal sized corn hole games. Â Lastly, they have the huge sized Jenga blocks. Â That has to be the crowd favorite so far. Â So much fun, but watch out! Â Each block is heavy and will hurt your toes if it gets in the way.
What I appreciate is that within the Grill and the bar, they've kept a lot of the old Gold Spike employees. Â I love the fact that they remember you if you frequent there. Â Folks like Joe, Will, Jay and Heather behind the bar really makes this place feel like home. Â OH, don't worry. Â The drinks are really inexpensive as usual!
Trust me. Â Such a great update to a downtown favorite. Â Hands down, my favorite place at the moment. Â I've fallen in love with this place all over again and I'm so happy this place exists downtown. Â Come check them out!!!
I recently read an article in DTLV about the new Gold Spike and knew I had to check it out. I had never been in it before, but I can say they did an awesome job. First of all, all of the staff is super friendly and relaxed, super important if you are inviting people to come over and hang out. They have a huge ben and gig-ass bean bags to relax on, as well as a foosball table, darts and an area to check out game to play with, like Monopoly, Clue, etc. The bar area looks nice; I will have to return to try some of their drinks. There were a ton of people at the bar working on their laptops.
Outside they have a mega Jenga to play with as well as an Airstream camper with a kiddie pool to dip your feet in. It's getting kind of hot, so ideally you would hang out there in the evening.
I will definitely be back to grab a drink but I also feel like brining a book with me on the weekend and just relaxing.
Really delighted with the new Gold Spike! Great bar, fabulous lounge area, tasty food at the grill, and a nice garden out back! Oh, and it's open 24 hours and is also non-smoking. Fabulous.
Added bonus is that the staff are very friendly and I enjoyed a delicious prime rib dinner in the Grill. I need to eat gluten-free and our server was super helpful and careful to check with the kitchen. It was endearing and funny too, because our server didn't really know about gluten free requirements, and explained that as they've just reopened and their clientele has changed, they are now getting used to more demanding requests such as gluten free. Â In the end all they had to do was remove the au-jus and give me regular, rather than seasoned fries. It still tasted great and at just $12 was a bargain!!
To top it off, as part of their wide selection of beers they even serve Estrella Damm Daura, which is a Spanish gluten-free beer made with barley but with the gluten removed during the process. My only gripe is the cost, which at $10 a bottle is a bit much. I'll be suggesting they stock an American g/f beer instead like Omission; I hope that would allow a cheaper price point!
I'll be back here... a lot!

Stumbled into the Gold Spike this weekend and was blown away by how clean and inviting it is! Â Enjoyed a drink at the bar while watching folks playing pool and generally lounging around in a smoke-free environment. Â I particularly enjoyed the couch/bed that sports a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey on the nightstand. Â I will definitely be coming back--a really nice place to relax and enjoy the downtown scene.
Review Source:I was fortunate enough to have cool friends in the know and got invited to the soft opening last night.
Very cool place! Â The new management team adds yet another revitalizing kick to the downtown scene, and does so without a gaming device on the premises!
I had visited Gold Spike about 2 or 3 months ago, and chatted with friends about the potential. Â Thinking more along the lines of a casino refresh, but I think this lends to an even better scene, attracting a fun crowd.
With the great little courtyard area in the back, highlighting a beautiful Air Stream camper setup, some artificial grass, blow up pools and lawn chairs, 2 corn hole games for entertainment (that's bean bag toss for those who just asked the question), 4x6 timber Jenga style blocks that entertain the players and all the spectators, and a live retro jazzy 3 peice band belting out some Sinatra stylings, how could you not have a good time? Â Add cocktails and hors d'oeuvres for a perfect setup.
Inside, the whole casino floor has been converted to a plush modern lounge with a great bar, some high top tables, lounge sofas, oversized bean bags, pillows, a huge bed for relaxing with your friends, and lots to do. Â Real darts in the back, with some foosball, pool tables, or a giant corn hole game to continue your legume tossing skills whilst getting an upper body workout.
I plan to head back on a Friday or Saturday night and see how the crowd is. Â I imagine this falls right in line with the eclectic offerings of all the other fun downtown establishments.
