Wow! What a great place for Chargers fans to watch football, even when they lose. Better to be surrounded by sympathetic patrons than obnoxious Raider douche bags. You won't get any here.
Teri W. review was perfect. Actually, food is very good for bar food. Free food during half time was surprisingly awesome.
We will be sure to stop in when we come to Vegas, even in the off-season. The friendly vibes from owner and staff makes this a can't miss spot.
If you are a San Diego Chargers fan living in or visting Las Vegas, you absolutely HAVE to go to Michael's Pub for a game!!! Â Get there EARLY, especially if it is a big game of a divisional rivalry. Â I know that, at least for Broncos games, the bar will be packed at 10am for a 1pm game. Â
So, it's not exactly close to the strip, or in the best neighborhood, but it is worth the trip if you are a diehard fan! Â There is plenty of parking, since the bar is located in a Sunflower Market strip mall. Â Make sure you wear your Chargers gear, or you will be out of place. Â I don't remember ever seeing someone there NOT in a Chargers jersey or shirt...Except for once, we were there early for a doubleheaded MNF game and there was some DB in a Jets jersey, but that is a story for another day....If you wear SD gear, you will get a raffle ticket for the halftime give aways.
As for the menu, it's bar food, so it's not gourmet, but everything I've eaten has been really good. Â They have drink specials as well, usually on buckets of beer. Â When I say that this place gets crowded - I mean CROWDED. Â By gametime, it will be standing room only. Â There are a group of regulars who have saved seats, so there is very limited open seating for non-regulars. Â Normally this would make me mad, but I understand that the same people have been going to watch games here for years. Â Maybe one day that will be me with a reserved seat! A girl can hope! :) Â If you are lucky enough to get a table, Â be prepared to share. Â If there are open seats, the owner will ask if other people can sit with you. Â I have met some really fun, cool people this way. Â Because it is so crowded, the service can be a little bit slow. Â Just order a bucket and settle in! Â The best thing is that they have FREE food at halftime! Â You heard me, FREE!! Â They change it up, and there is usually anything from wings to pizza to spaghetti. Â And a popcorn machine. Â I can't complain when there is free food for fans!
As I mentioned before, they have giveaways at the half. Â They usually have a lot of prizes. Â We've won fridge magnets, cooler bags, t-shiirts, hats, etc. Â They even give away jerseys! Â All for being there and being a fan. Â
This is a really passionate group of people. Â There is even a guy with a mini canon who sets it off on all Chargers scores, just like at the stadium!
Warning: it is a small, crowded place. Â If you are really bothered by cigarette smoke, this may not be the place for you. Â But if you are a huge Chargers fan, it is worth a visit. Â This is BY FAR the best Chargers bar in Las Vegas.
