Cool Dogs Sports Pub: Reviews & Ratings
As a bit of backstory, I'm a father of twin 21 year olds. One is in college double majoring and playing chess against a computer and has played video games since he was a fetus. The other dropped out of college, smokes, tells horribly inappropriate jokes, loves pinball, and is much more like me. I apologize to her daily for this, but shit happens. At least she got her good looks from her mother. Been in Vegas for over 20 years and visited a shitton of dive bars, fancy lounges, and everything in between. As a 20 year Vegas local, we all know that the Strip is awesome, obscenely expensive, and not where you spend your time (unless you work there, as many locals do obv). The biggest difference between Vegas and some random vanilla city is that we are a bit more "old school" for lack of a better phrase. Somewhere in the heart of Tulsa there is a 47 year old degenerate sitting at a smoke free bar, watching reruns of Deal or No Deal while telling family friendly jokes sipping on his beer until the Blue Law gets enforced and the bar stops serving and closes at like 1 or 2 AM. What the f*ck? Seriously? The great thing about Vegas is walking into a locals dive bar at 3am, cigarette in hand, ordering a Jack & Coke, and playing some video poker followed by pinball for hours on end. There isn't political correctness. There isn't a limitation on when alcohol can be served and good old fashioned cigarette smoking is allowed indoors and everywhere in the bar. And by cigarettes, I'm including menthol and regular. In that Tree hugging Third Reiche of a state next door, you can't even buy Menthol cigarettes anymore. And God forbid you want a free plastic bag from the grocery store. Wow. California has really gone to Hell since I moved away from there. But I digress.... Cool Dogs is welcoming. The exceptionally friendly staff makes you feel like Norm from Cheers even if it's your first time there. The pinball machines are in astoundingly perfect condition, replete with Toppers, colour DMDs and even Stern Connected. The dart boards are free to use. The pool tables are very reasonably priced and there is a good old fashioned cigarette machine on the property and a jukebox that plays CD's like Madonna's Immaculate Collection. As if it even needs to he said. I friggin' LOVE this joint. And I think you will too.
Great bar Great place They got pinball machines Beer is great Service is amazing Plus food next door delivers
Really great service from bartender Kim- she makes you feel welcome and appreciated. The adjoining restaurant Rivas has great Mexican food.
The ambience is chill. The drinks are good! It's fun to play pool, darts and air hockey! But the music selection is basic. Outside of the music the bartender was amazing and we enjoyed ourselves here
Not the greatest area but the people are friendly, prices are reasonable, and the dart ochers are awesome.
For the real dart p l Ayer this place has it all, 7 boards, 2 pool tables Foosball and air hockey, golf game and a great mix of slots, video poker games. Inexpensive drinks and happy hours. If your hungry they are connected to Rivas Mexican food place next door and you just ring a bell and get served. Bring food or uber eat. Staff are friendly and treat you well
Amazing place, Kim is the best bartender. Found this place out of luck, and now we call it our second home. Come down for pool, darts, air hockey, Foosball, and great machines.
Googled Cds lounge and the page only showed them being open on Sundays and Wednesdays; that was surely wrong.!! They are open for 24hrs a day, 7days a week...
Looking for an awesome place to play some foosball with a really cool and gracious group of local folks? Come here and enjoy playing on their exceptionally well maintained Toronado T3000 foosball tables. They are about 15 minutes away from the strip by Uber. This is a chill place to play some foosball and hangout. Looks like they have some good dart boards too,,,but darts aren't my thing...I enjoy playing foosball on great tables with cool people.
We randomly found this place on our last trip to Vegas. And it is such a gem of a spot! We ended up going there three nights in a row and spending our anniversary night there playing darts. It has an mazing local vibe, interesting locals and honestly the coolest bartenders in town. Bob and Kerry took such amazing care of us that we felt right at home instantly and as if we were at our local bar in LA. They had us laughing and smiling so much... can't say enough good things about these two beautiful souls. We are truly coming back to Vegas just to hang out at CDs! Already miss that place so much!
