Gold Spike

This review is based on my experience at their bar, which was pleasant. They have a lovely selection which includes radlers, and that always makes me happy. Of course I generally do like the bars in downtown a as they are not on the strip. I am sure to return.

Gold spike
Came here for some grub, before a night of drinking. We had the best server that you can ask for Anne Marie, who was attentive and hilariously entertaining :-) .
We ordered our food, which came out pretty fast I got the Gold Spike Burger. It was so delicious; it’s the kind of burger you should get if you don’t care about calories. Haha.
When you’re done with your food you can hang at the bar and grab drinks, there’s the gaming area where you can play oversize versions of beer pong, connect 4, chess, etc.
Of course, I will be back for more food, or get some stuff Postmates since they use them for delivery.

This is a decent casino in Downtown Las Vegas. They have a night club that gets packed on the weekends but charge a cover.
If you’re in the DTLV area it’s worth a visit if you do t want to go to an expensive/​dressy club.
The crowd that attends the club and frequents the casino are primarily locals.
Drinks are cheap if you’re not playing but lines do get long as there aren’t many bars inside.

Annemari was AWSOME… She’s super personable and a gnarly chick!!! Get a DJ on Sunday’s and promote a Sunday Funday…

I’ve never felt as violated or as victimized as I have here. This is a place that claims to care about locals but flushes them down the toilet as soon as they can. I’ve never felt as much like trash as I have since I’ve been here. Stay away. If I could post zero stars I would.

This place is so dope! If you aren’t in the mood to get all dressed up and go clubbing on the strip, but still want to have a grand olé time, then come here. We came here twice, the most recent on a Saturday night. It was so live! Indoors they had a DJ on set while outdoors they had a local reggae band playing all night. Both the DJ and the band were seriously on point! Speaking of the outdoor area, it’s an adult playground! You got all sorts of games to play– life size beer pong, Jenga and chess to name a few. If you’re lucky enough you’ll get to play a game or two. It can get pretty busy and games get occupied rather quickly.

Our server Anne Marie was so sweet and attentive. The atmosphere outside was so fun and the food was amazing and prices great! I would for sure come back here!

Decided to stay here for my boyfriends birthday, and was rather impressed with the staff, quality of the rooms and prices. We stayed Thursday-​Saturday. The hotel has a modern feel, no clocks, no phones in the room I was bummed there was no iron either but I went down to the office and they sent one up within an hour. The security is no joke here, so don’t forget your key plus it’s needed to go up and down the elevator. Will at the front desk was extremely personable and even showed us his Rubix cube skills, (in under 30 seconds) the outside games make it a playground for adults. Life size beer pong, chess, cornhole, Jenga, ping pong, pool! There’s an outside room for beer pong and octopong. We had so much fun. Will definitely be staying here again. Block away from Fremont street, it was perfect!

The guys that work their are so disrespectful! I will never step foot in there again. It was my first time going there and I was lost and I was trying to talk to my husband to figure out what’s going on and the guy just closed the curtains right in my face while I was talking to my husband and basically pushed me back and I couldn’t find my husband anymore. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. I HATE SEEING ME OR MY HUSBAND DISRESPECTED LIKE THAT. COMPLETE ASSWHOLES!

There’s a lot of cool new stuff happening downtown and Gold Spike is one of the main events. It’s a giant playground that I think would strike a note of nostalgia to children of the 80’s and 90’s. They have regular-​sized 4 Square (seriously, when was the last time I played that?) and ping pong. Every other game on the lot is giant: Connect 4, Jenga, Beer Pong. You can stay inside for the party vibe and strike some moves on the dance floor or venture outside for a more relaxed vibe and where most of the games are located. Everyone was super chill and friendly. Plus, there was no charge to get in: don’t know if that’s normal or if we came on a special night. Overall, this place is, as my peers would probably say, dope! Check it out.

The Golden Spike changed my life. It boasts a great environment to create incredible and unique memories with friends and a huge array of fun giant sized games that bring the competitive kid out in everyone… The highlight of the night was our cocktail waitress Lindsay. Not only is she friendly and professional, but she makes you feel like you are Norm from Cheers. She has the incredible ability to make you feel like you are the most important person in the establishment. I truly feel that the owners of the Golden Spike profoundly elevated the value of their establishment by hiring Lindsay… Brilliant! You guys hit a home run with Lindsay… I will always come back to the Golden spike for the good times and the charm of Lindsay!
Thank you

Horrible security! They are Very rude! He refused to let me know his name. Management where are you at?

I’m not local but my cousins are and took me here instead of the strip. I doubted it but I’m glad we came! Got bottle service for a fcking AMAZING price and deal. Great vibes and nothing but good vibes and good people. Kyrra is the cocktail server that’s been taking care of my family. And yet again she hooked it up with EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. If you’re gonna come here request for KYRRA!!! You will NOT be disappointed. I PROMISE! Super professional, nice and genuinely a good person! Even the bouncers are AMAZING!!! Blue and Joe are good people! Constantly checked on my group to make sure we were doing well. The environment and those three workers made us feel like family! THANK YOU GOLD SPIKE, THANK YOU KYRRA, AND THANK YOU BLUE AND JOE FOR A DAMN GREAT NIGHT!!!

Facts:
–It’s usually crowded Friday through Sunday
–On said nights it’s really hard to get a drink at the main bar
–Tons of different games to play like a 3 – 5 ft tall jenga and connect 4, skating, board games, darts, etc etc
–There’s a cover for guys AND girls on the weekends (Not a fan of that)
–The bathrooms aren’t always the cleanest and the wait is usually long
–Drinks aren’t bad

Find Fred, the most honest laid back bar tender in the whole place, in his words «tip doesn’t matter what you feel is right» I love gold spike I come here when I travel to Vegas from the bay area, tonight was my first time at gold spike with Freddy being my bar tender and it was honestly the most chill experience.

This place was reallly cool! Mostly in NY we pay for entering places like this, so it was a good change and I had lots of fun!
Dared friends to drinking games. because I am who I am. Bartender was super exceptional, courteous and provided great pours as well as great service!
Will be back!

This place doesn’t gove off that motel feel. The bed sheets are CLEAN, the rooms are trendy, and the entire resort is super hipster. The pool isn’t heated (can’t use during the few winter months), they play pop music outside that you can hear from your room. Yes, they do provide ear plugs.
Me and my party were pleasantly surprised with the décor for such a cheap rate. We didn’t expect the shower floor to be made out of pebbles, or the lamps be recycled art, etc.

Wow. Despite the nipply chill of Vegas winter, this bar was so fun I actually stood outside and played giant beer pong, corn hole, and laid on a fluffy grass couch. I wish they had giant tether ball, I’d have died and gone to heaven. Loved the crowd, the bartenders, heat lamps, the giant bed inside the bar. I loved everything! Definitely recommend coming here if you want to venture off the strip and have some real fun!

I was having a really nice night with my friends. They go here a lot. I wanted another glass of red wine. I am local. I rarely go out because I travel for work.
Tonight I could not pronounce Pinot Noir to the bartenders expectations. (Which my spell check just picked up). I was told I was too drunk and escorted out by a big Samoan man. For no reason at all. This is not the first time this has happened to me at this venue. I hadn’t even had 2 drinks. Your bar tenders are pushing away good locals. Born and raised in Vegas, I will never recommend this place again.

If you have a group of friends and want to watch the game, drink together in comfort, or, as we did, play cards against humanities, this is a great place to do it so long as you don’t try to go on a friday or saturday night when it is packed. They have various couches (even two beds), chairs, and booths that will fit a group of any size. Outside they have giant jenga and other games while inside they have cornhole (yes, bean bag toss has a new name) a bar and a small restaurant which serves tasty snacks. No it won’t win any culinary awards but it was better than expected.

No, I did not come here for the chance to be on the real world, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I made it. At the moment, I believe that the cast from the real world are staying here.
From my experience, Goldspike is supposed to be an adult clubhouse (21+) where you will likely have to show your ID to prove it. On Weekends after 10PM they have a $ 10 cover charge for guys and everyone is asked to wear classy attire. When I went though, my dress code did not meet those standards and I was not given a hard time. Staff is pretty chill and the crowd can get pretty thick on Fridays and Saturdays. If that’s not your thing, perhaps it would be better to come on a weeknight.
The difference between coming on a weekday versus weekend is kind of crazy. Yes, this is Vegas, but it’s not always a party here. The week days give you the chance to see how young adults have came and abused the luxuries of this establishment. The pool table’s stained with beer with holes in the felt, the bathroom stalls don’t close right, and the games you can rent are missing pieces. I even saw a young man try to bounce a pool stick on a table. This place is the epitome of what you would expect to get when you give presents to ungrateful kids.
I’ll be back because it offers a unique experience for adults, but I will shed a tear for the damages inflicted on this too generous of an establishment that truly encourages fun.

So this is like a playground for adults!
Imagine a bar that’s loaded with crazy games inside and out. They have everything you can imagine: billiards, ping pong, corn hole, SUPER HUGE corn hole (picture attached), HUGE chess. The Best for last, HUGE beer pong that you play with a volleyball!!! There is bar service both inside and outside with plenty of room for a good time. We went with 12 guys and played almost everything. This place is perfect since all 12 of us did not have to stay together, but could easily find each other.
I think this place is perfect for a birthday or bachelor /​bachelorette party! You have room for everyone you came with and plenty of chances to meet new people. There is even a stage, so I guess they have live music sometimes.

I don’t care what anyone else says this place is Top 3 bars I have ever been to. So much to do its ridiculous! I have never had the food just the spirits and the games but my experience here has been nothing but awesome! Over sized Beer pong, Giant Connect four, corn hole big and small, ping pong, four square like in middle school plus the drinks makes for a great time. I have been coming here since 2013. There is only a few set backs; Parking is a b****, The games get crowded at night. Besides that I think this place is Awesome!
PS… LOTS OF HIPSTERS

Dopeness.
This place is in the downtown area, the drive from the strip is so 90’s, rumor has it that if you bump some Tupac you might see his ghost.
Parking is a hassle, their lot is limited, there are some in the blocks surrounding it, but of course no travelators here, so prepare to trek.
As soon as you walk in you feel real comfortable, you feel that local’s spot vibe. The service reflects that. Bar to the right, don’t hesitate for your home priced liquor.
Pool, jumbo connect 4, trash can sized beer pong, corn hole and other things I missed. This place is a good time killer and affordable if you didn’t have probability on your side during your trip.
I did not eat here, because why would you?
It’s pretty black and white, but the fun can color up your night.

Love this place! This could be my favorite spot in downtown Las Vegas.
For bar food this place is seriously the best. It blows anywhere else out of the water with their nachos, tater tots, chicken wings, sliders ahhh all so good! I’ve never had a food here that I didn’t like.
If you come early or during the week it’s not too crowded either so it’s perfect for taking advantage of all the games. The catch is you have to leave your id though so make sure you don’t forget it before you dip out.
The only downside to this place is the bathrooms which are super small and tends to get really annoying on the weekends with never ending lines to the ladies room. Just try not to break the seal too early and you’ll be golden!

Total shit hole. That being said, it appears to be a locals only total shit hole, which endears it to me. My friends and I stopped here to pre-​game (since Unilocal looks down on Gold Spike favorable for a casual drink). But there was feets balls happening on TV, and my friends and I were apparently dressed up enough to stick out like sore thumbs.
But consider that pours are –extremely– generous and do with this place what you will.

There is not much to say that has not already been said.
Play some games, chill, and listen to some tunes… remember you can come here anytime because they are open ²⁴⁄₇.
We come here for work related hangouts but one time we ordered food from the grill at the tables next to the bar. One of us had a mushroom veggie wrap and another had a veggie burger. It was fresh but diner style food. Recently I heard they are remodeling the grill area and have a new chef. Not sure. I think the grill has another listing so you can check out more info there.
It can get super duper busy outside if they have a show and now that the skating rink outside won’t be back again, the space can pack a ton of people in. They usually have portable bars setup out back for those who need it.
Go check it out… oh and don’t forget to pet the golden snake for good luck :)
