Went to Sierra Gold tonight and waited 10 min for the bartender to even acknowledge us and then another 15 min passed and she never came to take our order so we moved to the dining room where the server came right over and was very attentive. We are regulars there and it always takes the bartenders forever to acknowledge we're there, even when it's not busy, like tonight. The females need a lot of work.
Review Source:Brought clients in for lunch which is near their office. I've dined  here in the past but it been years since last time I was visited. Sierra Gold is a upscale tavern with even a part of the PT's group which I wasn't aware of.  Parking is easy to locate since the parking lot is large.
There were five in our party and we were seated where a pool table was once located. The waitresses here are really hot looking and ours was no exception. Tattooed and friendly she was on her game. I went with the ahi salad which was delish. Generous amounts of sliced ahi over mixed greens with jicama, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled ginger, wasabi and sesame dressing. Everybody in our group was happy with their food and beverages.
Sierra Gold offers Happy Hour from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm and 11:00 pm to 2:00 am everyday. I'll definitely will be back soon.
Sierra Gold gets a big fat 4 out 5 for their happy hour, the atmosphere, the decor, and the service.
I think the whole Nevada tavern concept is a true testament to Las Vegas locals and the home-y neighborhood that is this city.
Sierra Gold is right down the street from my house so I frequent this location quite a bit. I've had 2 different company parties here, and several department-wide happy hours as well.
FOR LARGE PARTIES, this place is quite accommodating. The large "living room" was perfect for space for events with 10-20 people. We reserved the space for a department Holiday party in under 3 weeks notice for a $20 fee. The space was perfect for the par-tay peeps under 30 years old and had just enough elegance to make our VP comfortable with his cufflinks and cognac.
SG's menu is quite extensive. Plus their monthly specials are always worth a try. 50% off pizza and drinks for happy hour 7 days a week is probably worth all 5 stars.... On days when I need to eat my feelings, I have to order a buffalo chicken pizza (aka Chicken ranch) and..... the GILROY!!! I am sad they eliminated their size variety and only offer what most would consider a large - but the gilroy tastes just as good as leftovers (not the Buffalo one though - not good reheated).
More times than not, SG & their sister PT's have half off breakfast specials,,,, This used to be a big win for my husband and myself because we wereare huge fans of their breakfast pizza...but they reformulated the menu about a year or so back and it's just not as great - it's good still but not as great. Darn. R.I.P old SG breakfast pizza.
I have a friend that gripes about the bartenders and their "uniforms" or as she calls it "boobtenders".... lol.. but I mean, really?! it doesn't bother me - to be honest - I've lived in this town for 10+ years... I see more cleavage at Smith's.
I usually go here during happy hour. 5-7pm & 12am-2am half price pizzas and drinks. Food & service here for the most part has been decent on my visits here. Their happy hour used to be 3hrs twice a day but they cut it down from 5-8pm & 12-3am back in September. Sometimes it does take a bit to catch someone's attention. Surprisingly decent food for a bar. Â Their Gilroy pizza is the bomb! Thin crust white garlic sauce pizza with salami, pepperoni, artichokes, onions, tomatoes & mushrooms. During happy hour large 16" pizzas are half priced at $10. I would eat here on ocassion after work if it coincided with happy hour.
Review Source:So NOT impressed. I used to love this bar, but it has gone so far downhill in service, they should be embarrassed. Maybe I just don't have the right anatomical parts, because the female bartender only paid attention to the men at the bar who were gambling. She ignored us to where we still had NO plates nor utensils for when our food finally came....and there were Maybe 15 people at the bar. Â We even had to wave down a server as she was going by and she was nice enough to bring us set ups and plates. Food may be good, but they are now off my fave list. I hate poor customer service almost more than anything!
Review Source:Been a fan of Sierra Gold for a while and this location is another good reason to stay that way. Â I haven't had a bad experience at any of the locations and this location is another great location.
Service was great and although the place was pretty crowded, it wasn't smokey or too loud.
Nestled close to a major freeway and major roadway.. perfect for intoxicated people to drive home on. Seriously this place is always busy.. sometimes tooooooo busy, it seems to be a local hangout of for "trendy" crowds. The food is decent and who doesnt love beer? The location is well planned and the enterior is nice. I would come here more often if there wasnt 100 bars closer to my pad.
Review Source:Service definitely leaves something to be desired here. The bartenders are nice enough, it's not attitudes that are the problem - it's the waiting! Having to ask for the check after we've been done eating almost 45 minutes is annoying. Having to wait an additional 20 minutes to find someone to take my credit card is even more annoying.
I've been here a couple times on busy Football nights and each time the bar was completely full, but there were people sitting at machines not playing, and I was looking to lose money. That's a pet peeve of mine. If one person is sitting down and four people are hovering around them and you're just sitting at a machine but not playing/not planning to, have some decency to move over.
The food is pretty good, not as greasy as most bar foods, but typical PT's/Sierra Gold fare. This place is pretty big. One night we walked in and found a group playing Yahtzee in the corner at a table - those people were awesome.
One note, and maybe this shouldn't surprise me but it's never been a problem before - apparently it's not OK to smoke clove cigarettes at this bar. While I was losing money at a machine, my friend was smoking and there was no problem. We move down after we're done playing and all of the sudden the bartender tells us she has to take her cigarettes outside because they "bother people." Umm... ok?
...half of a star for this pretentious dump. Overpriced bar food, served by people more interested in themselves, then your once frozen finger food. They call themselves an Ultra Lounge. Yea right. Ultra Average. PT's is in desperate need of real management, and should get back to basics. No one wants to sign up for your slot players club, and pay a premium for happy hour. All drinks should be four bucks between 3pm to 7pm every day. Sierra Gold has a mediocre lackluster at best...
Review Source:I've been coming here for lunch A LOT lately, ha ha. Â I've had three different servers and the service has always been good, I don't think my drink has ever gone empty. Â Of course my favorite server is Christy as she usually brings us some nice, warm, free cookies for dessert. Â Christy's cookies are the best, no euphemisms here!
Most of the food has been pretty good, my faves so far are the Ahi Tuna Salad and the Ahi Tuna Sandwich. Â Mmmm, I wish I was eating some now instead of this cold pizza hut, yuck!
I enjoyed all of the wraps except for the fajita wrap, ugh, hard to explain but it sort of had a slimy texture. Â Just not too good.
Most items come with fries or you can upgrade for a 50 cent charge to curly fries, onion rings  or several other items.
Today I had the french dip. Â Pretty standard operating procedure here except for the Flamin Hot Cheetos battered onion rings that accompany the sandwich. Â Sounds awesome right? Â Using something that's been fried as batter so that you can fry it again. Â I have to hand it to them, it's a great concept. Â The execution, however, isn't quite there. Â These should be orgasmic and they just sort of taste like onion rings. Â Don't get me wrong, I like getting my O Ring face on but I thought these would be better.
This is like the other Sierra Golds. Â The happy hour is probably your best option. Â
The pizzas are half off for happy hour and all drinks are 50% off. Â Of course they just raise the regular prices but atleast it is reasonably priced with the discount... you have to have a beer and bites card to get the discount. Â That card does make your visit seem corporate and impersonable. Â I guess Vegas has changed... "sigh..."
The pizzas are suprisingly good. Â Not in the traditional pizza way - because the crust is more like a cracker than real pizza dough. Â even though it is not tradional pizza it still tastes pretty good. Â
This particular location seems busier than other Sierra Golds. Â It had a pretty good crowd there - lively but not too lively.
So when a co-worker said that we should come here, I had first thought that we were visiting an adult star for lunch. Â I mean, what sort of weird name is that?
However when we pulled up, it was a pub. Â Yeap. Â Greasy pub food. Yum.
Two things that bothered me though. Â The first was that it seemed like the music was turned up pretty loud. Â Understandably, it is a pub, but at one point, someone decided to jack with the sound system and turn it up even more annoyingly loud. Â To the point where you had to yell to hear anyone speaking.
That was alleviated finally after someone fixed it, but it was interesting that someone wanted to mess with the sound volume in the first place when most of the people in there were your normal business lunch crowd.
The other was the fact that the waitress didn't even bother to check if my credit card was even in the payment jacket thingiemajiggy. Â I literally was looking all around and was about to have a melt down until one of my co-workers spotted my lonely card on the floor.
I mean, I know I'm good lookin' but really now... I didn't think that waitress wanted me for my card that bad.... or... so I had thought.
In any case, the ordered french dip that came with au jus, and horseradish sauce (you know, horseradish + sour cream) was delish. Â Everything seemed okay except the issues above. Â Now whether or not future visits will have the same results remains to be seen.
But watch out, Sierra Gold waitresses. Â Sorry, I'm taken.
Visited Sierra Gold during happy hour for the first time.  1/2 priced beer = a large beer  for $4 (I had a Guinness that was probably 24 oz).  The pizzas are also half price = about $8 for a huge 2 or 3 person thin crust.  They had additional Saturday specials and the one I had was the "Knife and Fork" sandwich -a Philly cheese steak on toast with a sunny-side up egg on top and then fries on top of that.  Awesome for $5.  The space is cool with very high ceilings and lots of interesting seating areas.  The servers were friendly and attentive except for a little while when they were slammed with lots of customers arriving at once.
Review Source:This place use to be really good. Good food and good staff. Paid $10 for 4 chicken breast sliders that were not even real chicken, more like formed chicken with rib meat and chunks of fat. Slow service. Messy bar. Only comped one pint of beer after gambling $1 hands at blackjack over 2 hours. Definitely not what I remember coming too when I still lived on that side of town a year ago.
Review Source:Went there due to all the good reviews. Â It's pretty much like numerous other taverns in Vegas. Â A bit nicer maybe, but still pretty standard. Â The cleavage-showing leather vests the female servers and bartenders wear are nice, but this is Vegas. I can see cleavage anywhere. Â Heck, the receptionist at my dentist's office shows more boob. Â Food was OK, but standard tavern food. Â My server was slow to wait on me. He was too busy flirting with one of the cleavage girls to get to me in a timely manner. Â Overall OK, but since it's not very close to my house I doubt that I'll be back. Â I'll stick to Rounders.
Review Source:I stopped in here for a last minute business meeting on Friday morning around 11:15. When I arrived the place was empty but it must be a pretty popular spot for lunch. By the time my clam chowder arrived at the table this place was starting to fill up. The service was better when we first arrived due to the fact that we had the waiters undivided attention. We weren't exactly neglected after the lunch crowd filed in but it took a little longer to get my water glass refilled. I guess that's to be expected.
My chowder came out the perfect temperature in a large bowl accompanied by a package of oyster crackers and a bottle of tabasco. All set! Great temp, good presentation, mediocre soup. Ehh, I've had better clam chowder on the salad bar at a buffet. There were lots of large chunks of red skinned potatoes and not much else. It was a hearty serving of chowder but it was mostly filler and only a few small clams. I'm pretty sure I paid $6.99 for a bowl of potato soup masquerading as clam chowder.
Meal aside, this place gets a 3 star A-OK from me because of the wonderful smoke-free atmosphere. That goes a long way when I pass judgment on a place. Clean air and enforced no smoking is worth a star or two any day.
Yelp Challenge! Started 8/20/2011 (12 of 365).
I love Sierra Gold! Â This place is always poppin' and at any time of day. Â They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner here 24-7 and they have 2 happy hours. Â The bartenders and waiters are always inviting when you come in the door, and the atmosphere is super chill. Â It's a nice weekly hangout and good for Monday night football, Sunday football, and pretty much for any game as they have a number of TVs available to watch any game playing on any given day.
Their menu is fairly extensive but I enjoy a few things that are at the top of my must eat on a monthly basis list:
# 1 - Gilroy Pizza. Â Best thin crust pizza on their menu. Â All pizzas are half off during their happy hour!
# 2 - Wings. with any sauce on the side. Â They have a number of sauces to choose from!
# 3 - Tuna Panini Sandwich - it's a hit or miss, but if they make it right; it's so good because of the extra cucumber crisp they add in the sandwich.
# 4 - Peanut Butter Cookie Pazookie! Yum! Â Best dessert to indulge in when you're having a bad day.
You can gamble on their video poker bartops, sports bet, and they even have a secret rewards program for women who gamble in the bar. Â Awesome!
Their private dining area with the big screen TV only costs $20 to rent plus of course you have to purchase food and drink, but there is no minimum tab which is awesome.
This is definitely my neighborhood bar; forever!
I love it here. Â This is our local spot. Â It's down the street and ready for us every time we walk through the wide double doors! Â It's warm and inviting and there are lots of seats to fill. Â Walk and in and take your pick. Â There are TV's in every corner you look so sitting anywhere is perfect.
There are a lot of regulars here.. Â and the wait staff is super nice and accommodating. Â They are quick to come and take care of you when you need and always poppin' up behind you to refill your drinks!
Â
Beer selections are awesome... they even have my fave: Linenkeugal! Â LOVE.
Regular or LARGE. Â Yes... there are options. Â The menu is pretty much all bar food. Â But not all bars offer good food. Â SIERRA GOLD DOES! Â
Gilroy Garlic is THE BEST. Â They have lots of other goodies.. like the ahi tuna salad, the wings.... etc etc. Â but... the Gilroy Garlic always does it for us. Â
Looking for a cool local hangout.. this is a good spot to try!
PS: They have a little room called the VIP room I think... that you can reserve for 20.00 and host a little get together for friends during games and just for fun!
I recently reserved it for my husbands 35th birthday during the niner saints game...
We were able to just lounge and chill on the couches watch the game on 3 tv's. Â It was a good comfortable time. Â
they also have 2 pool tables! - i think you have to reserve them though!
How do you go from the crossroads of Vegas, to the arm pit of the company. There was a time when no matter when you went in there you would run into someone you know.
Now it's, walk in the door, look around and say lets go somewhere else. Â
Ate a burger last night. Thanks for the diarrhea.
Sierra Gold is one of the best neighborhood bars. Â They give me the VIP treatment every time we visit; a couple of the girls even remember my name. Â Their food selection is fantastic. Â When Steve, I think he's the bar manager, is there things do tend to run much more smoothly. Â If you are a player, they really do take great care of you.
Love the calamari & thin crust pizzas. Â They offer the pizza @ 50% off for happy hour from 5-7. Â Generous portion of nachos that is difficult to finish. Â Good bloody marys - they have their own mix. Â You would be surprised at how difficult it is to find good bloody marys around here.
I always have much more fun at SG than I expected. Â Good food, good service, & I frequently get lucky @ video poker here.
My first visit to Sierra Gold saw a loss of $40 for me and $20 for my friend in the poker machines before anyone ever stopped by to say hello or take our order - and it wasn't even busy. After that, I was certain it would take angelic intervention to get me back.
While I did see some angels on my second visit, none of them were flying.
It was Friday happy hour and the place was hoppin', although due in large part to a college reunion group who were having a great time and passing that happiness on to the rest of the bar.
I ordered their half-price HH special sausage and pepperoni pizza. The angel behind the bar asked if I wanted basil on top - what a refreshing suggestion.
The pizza crust was good and crispy, but very bland. The sauce and topping were good, but would have been great if there was just a little more sauce. Much to my chagrin, HH special half price pizza is actually $10, plus $1 for every topping (yep, they charged me a buck for the basil). Total damage was $15, before tip. For a crispy thin-crust pizza, that's not a special, it's a rip-off.
At this point our foursome was having a great time with the angels who tended bar and some others who were making their way through the crowd.  The place was about to get, let's say, maybe a 4 star rating  - despite some miserable happy hours prices.
Then disaster struck - happy hour ended and the angels behind the bar were replaced by pissy young men with little sense of humor and even less personality. Â
The place took a dramatic change of moods in just a matter of moments and all-of-a-sudden we couldn't wait to get out.
I leave the review with a shaky 3 star rating and some very strong suggestions to management - reconsider your HH prices and get rid of those depressing boys. Seriously, they were all in such a pissy mood, you could literally see the happiness evaporating from the faces of patrons all around the bar.
My husband and I met his client at Sierra Gold for a late mid week dinner. There were quite a few guests at both the bar and in the dining room.
We sat down and had our drinks fairly quickly. After his client arrived, our waitress came back to our table promptly. We ordered my all time favorite: the Flamin' Hot Cheetos Onion Rings. OMG, yummy. I would recommend giving these a try. We had to get a second order because for 3 hungry men, and me, one order was just not enough. :)
For dinner I had the BBQ Chicken Salad. First off, let me say that typically I don't order salads at a place that serves "pub style food." A burger or pizza would probably have been more appropriate. However, I'm on a mission to stay away from junk, and considering my guilt from the Onion Rings I tried to keep it "healthy" with a salad, dressing on the side. Not a great choice, but oh well, lesson learned and it wasn't horrible, just not good. Caramelized onions were in a giant heap, lettuce wasn't plentiful and overall the dressing lacked flavor.
My table-mates all ordered burgers and sandwiches and they were all satisfied with their meal.
I'm sure we will return for more glasses of ice cold beer and this time....pizzas and burgers :)
Sierra Gold invites you into a very comfortable atmosphere with good quality food & satisfying craves to enjoy whether one might be there for televised sports, video poker, or simple just sitting down at the bar or amusing seating area.
First thing to keep note: HAPPY HOUR everyday from 3pm-7pm & 12am-4am (50% off all drinks & pizza)
As for the food:
_Thin crust pizza (not a fan, but just got sold with the quality & outcome of the pizza that's served here)
_Bucket of wings (so many favors, garlic parmesan is a favorite)
_Bucket of curly fries (gotta love'em)
_ZOOKIE (too good to be true! The warm white chocolate macadamia nut cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whip cream, & dizzled with chocolate/caramel just hits the spot to that sweet tooth crave)
Service could have been better, but what do you expect at midnigt: top noch service? (minus 1 star)
I have yet to try more & what's best: this local spot is open 24hours!!!
I recently turned 21 and a couple of friends brought me here for my first bar/happy hour experience. Wooo!
My initial impressions is that its in a nice neighborhood, doesn't feel run down, and the atmosphere was pretty relaxed. Sierra Gold was probably half full, people were having a good time, and some were making out at the bar.. alright!
The happy hour special is after 12, requires a beer bytes card, and is consisted of half off pizzas and all drinks. Had a large Blue Moon which was in a big mug (maybe 2 bottles?) but had a tiny orange slice. Aw come on now.. the orange is not a decoration it has a real purpose.
One of my friends ordered his pizza first while me and my other friend decided to think a bit more, it was another 15 minutes before we saw the waitress again, kind of slow.. but understandable I suppose since she was the only waitress taking care of 6 or 7 parties.
So the pizzas were decent, but I'm not expecting something crazy from a bar. It was a thin crust but had many specialty choices like the fajita pizza. I noticed a bit of inconsistency between my fajita pizza and my friend's hunter pizza, his toppings covering almost the pizza to the edge and mine was 2 inches short from the edge. Oh well not a big deal.
Its hard not to want to come back though with the decent food and cheap drinks. Hours and hours can pass away with some friends and a buzz.. which is why I'll be back :)
I stopped for breakfast this morning on the way to the Run For the Wish 5K. Â I had to buzz to get in because it was only 7:30 or so when I got here. Â The front door was unlocked, and in I went to a very dark place.
I was given a menu and time to look it over. Â When I asked about one of the breakfasts, he said to me that all of their dishes are large portions. Â I ordered the Miner's Breakfast, a combination of many sliced potatoes along with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, onions, and peppers all topped with melted cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Â It was very tasty, and it was too much. Â Things here seem to be made for two people.
I was served coffe in the beginning, but I never was asked about a refill. Â Service was a bit slow, but since there were only three of us there, it should have been better. Â I took away one star for the service and the no refill on the coffee.
I did enjoy breakfast and I'll continue my tradition of having breakfast at a different place before each of the events like this that I do.
After a night of chillin' like a villain, my tummy was ready for some steak fillin'. Â Hmm where to go for a steak and egg that's under $7? Â I only knew Tuscany as one serving a good plate but luckily I was with a friend who brought me here instead.
This place is like an upgraded cleaner version of PT's. Â Cheap food and drinks after 12pm and conveniently right off the 215. Â Man their cookies and ice cream on top is off the shizzle my nizzle and steak and eggs weren't bad either. Â Heard good things about their pizzas too but I could only eat so much in one night. Â This is definitely my new grub spot after a long night at Town Square.
And it looks like a good place to watch sports too in the daytime. Plenty of flatscreens around the bar area.
Before the review, I have to admit that I have an automatic dislike for establishments such as this. I don't go to sports bars, don't watch ESPN or Fox News and don't fancy having to choose from a menu that promises cardiovascular disease. Â Lunch for me involves conversation, delicate food and pleasant service.
None of this was achieved today at lunch at Sierra Gold. Suffice to say I didn't have a say in the lunch choice.
I ordered the Pear & Arugula Salad ($10). The pears were very strange. They seemed to have been soaked in a marinade for a very long time and were soggy and tasted quite offensive. The portion of salad was enormous with a generous heaping of fresh arugula as well as candied pecans. The dressing was very average and the star of this dish was the 3 fried onion strings that they threw on the top. Yes three. I count this as one of the top five worst meals of my life.
The service here was very lukewarm. No one on the waitstaff really wanted to be there. Our orders were taken right and the drinks were filled.
I've been here before and had the Garden Vegetable Pizza which was just slightly better than this salad.
Since I'm already looking towards the future in trepidation of my next trip to this joint, I'm going to have to give this place 2 stars.
1 star for the convenient location off 215 and 1star for forcing me to diet today with the abysmal meal I had. Â
Man, am I glad I didn't have to pay for this meal.
This place is amazing.
1. Homer the bartender
2. Staying in the suburbs of Vegas, getting into town at 1am and no food to be found. Anywhere. Â
3. Happy hour between midnight and 4am? Half price drinks and pizza? I'm in heaven!
So on recommendation of the bartender at TGI Fridays that was closing up shop, we shot over to Sierra Gold for some much needed food after a day of traveling and layovers. Â We get there and pull on the doors. Locked. GREAT now what. Wait you need to be buzzed in! Smart. The bartender informed us it was a security feature (obviously) and when you hit the buzzer to be buzzed in it automatically snaps a photo of you.
Anyways this place is GREAT. Â Homer was fantastic, and made you feel like a local/regular. The food was awesome too. Together we all got, the steak, chicken tenders, buffalo wings and chicken fajita wrap. Â All of which were delicious. Â Homer happily sub'd out my fries for a side of mac and cheese. Time flew and we closed out happy hour and went home full, buzzed and delirious. We definitely agreed that we would make it a point to go back here to grab some food and chat it up with locals.
Why don't we have one of these back home?!?!!??!
ZOMGG Zooookieee!!!111one!!!1
Think of a warm fresh cookie straight out the oven underbaked in a ramekin topped off with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Â Now picture your nipples harden with every bite and a smile so cheesy that even the PDA to the 3rd power couples next to you is weirded out.
This is a good dessert if you want to either share with a special friend or just want to treat yourself something very delectable. Â I'd scrap every last bite whenever i get to order this goodness.
Of the other food i tried, i think the Steak and Eggs is a good bargain. Â You get 3 eggs, an 8oz steak, Country Hash Potatoes, and a side of Toast for like 9.99. Â Not bad considering it's a bar.
Pretzel bites were soggy and overly salty. Â The cheese and sweet and sour sauce that came with it were cool. Â A cup of chili to start my meal was mediocre. Â I prefer the Chili at Wendy's but that's just me. Â Overall everything else i tried here wasn't too bad for a late night meal
But I'm telling you man.. You must do yourself a favor and get a zookie.. Â It's one of those things you have to try at least once before you die.
I love it here. My god, I think I inhaled my food. It's a great place to come to eat after you've been drinking or perhaps, WHILE you are drinking. My only wish is that they had more food options on the happy hour menu. That would make this place over the top.
The service was great! I should have caught her name but our waitress was very attentive to our needs and had a great smile on her face despite it being late at night.
Our order: 2 yummy blue moons, loaded tator tots, chicken and mushroom pizza, and garlic Parmesan wings.
What a freakin' meal! It was the perfect bar meal ever! Wait, I should mention that I didn't really enjoy the chicken/mushroom pizza but well, the other 2 made up for it. The tator tots were so crunchy even after being attacked by the sour cream. The bacon. The cheese. The green onions. OHHHHH MY GOODDD. I loved it. Can you not tell?
And those wings. Man, I love wingstop.. but geez, these ones have topped them. They were crunchy and had a light garlic taste. Dip that in ranch and bam! Explosion of flavor!
I was seriously full but I NEEDED to finish the food. I washed it all down with a large pint of blue moon and called it a night.
Sierra gold's tator tots should be worth it's weight in GOLD!
Sierra Gold is like that girl you're great friends with in high school but that you dont realize you actually loved until you've both gone on to college. Â When i first moved to Vegas, I went to Sierra Gold all the time. Â It was a great spot to watch a game, grab a bite and have a beer. Â It was, simply put, another sports bar.
But then a new place came into my life. Â It was an intense affair, but it wasnt built on love...just really cheap drinks. Â My heart yearned for something, a missing element. Â I realized Sierra Gold is what it desired and I have gone back to claim my love. Â
In my haste for the "Hot, new chick" on campus, I neglected to see that the staff at Sierra Gold was always friendly, the food always reliable and the beer always plentiful and cold.
Highlights of our relationship include the Footlong Philly Cheese-steak Hot Dog, the Jumbo Pretzel, the Chicken Tenders and a really good breakfast menu (for a bar). Â
Im glad she took me back because there is no other place I want to be. Â Now you might be asking why I gave a 4 stars to my love...well its just a sports bar after all. Â Ive got to save the 5's for those places I dont get to go all the time...much like a Victoria's Secret model compared to your wife.
This place is minutes from my house, and is one of my favorite non-casino establishments in Las Vegas (yes they have Video Poker but who doesn't).
Sierra Gold is a member of the Golden Gaming Family (which also includes PT's) so they do arguably one of the best happy hours in town twice a day. From 3p-7p and 12a-4a they have half priced Pizzas and Drinks...not just drafts or wells, all drinks in the house are half price.
I really like the vibe here, it has a laid back lodge/bar feel, and a top notch menu. I almost always end up with The Hunter's Pizza, Â which never disappoints.
There are really only 2 complaints I have about  Sierra Gold
1 on the weekends it can get a little crowded, but it's usually not too bad
#2 it's not across the street from my house
Sierra gold has been my new local bar as of recently. Located off of S. Jones and the 215, this is a HUGE establishment from the outside view.
The interior is quite large and seats well up to 300 people or more. The bar is the centerpiece of the restaurant, which can also seat about 50 patrons. There is 2 full sized pool tables, separate restaurant seating and an upstairs private event floor with a full bar. Sierra gold is a part of the gold group (pts pub, pts gold) so the food selections are very similar. In that regard, this is more of an upscale PT's, the food is a lot better. I haven't tried much of their food aside from happy hour offerings of pizzas and appetizers, but those are above average, good for the happy hour price. Draft selection of beer is big as well with about 25 different beers on draft, along with many more bottled. Cocktails are good, bartenders are knowledgeable and will gladly make any drink for you.
Atmosphere is great, this place is often packed most nights and it's hard to grab a bar seat so arrive fairly early.
Probably the best lunch I've had on this business trip so far...I ordered the pear and goat cheese salad, served with baby spinach and candied walnuts. Â Everything was delicious about this salad with the exception of the pears. Â I was expecting fresh pears, but instead got these sugary brownish mushy blobs which had no pear flavor whatsoever. Â Must be canned...
Note to self...Just push mushy blobs to the side and enjoy your lunch.
Never been here? Well...just imagine a PT's Pub that Ty Pennington just threw up on! Oh yeah...it's a PT's Pub with an Extreme Makeover Home Style Edition written all over it. I ventured over to this bar with a group of friends to watch a little Sunday Night Football and AL Playoff action. I was quite surprised when I entered. A very classy watering hole for locals who are looking to chill and having a good time amongst friends. Decor was great.....very modern and inviting.
My group and I sat down and were immediately greeted by a friendly waitress whose service was impeccable throughout the entire night. Always in the nick of time when our glasses were empty, Â she was right there to take our order. The food....I must say... was some of the greatest bar food I have had in a long time. The wings, nachos and fried ravioli were delectable!! Â Sierra Gold will definitely see my face more often now that I have experienced it!!
