Rockstars + bars = good times!
Located about 20 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip, Feelgoods Rock Bar & Grill is the creation of Motley Crue singer Vince Neil and Custom Chopper Builder, The Count of Count's Kustoms. Most people don't really stray from the Strip or downtown on their Vegas vacations, but this venture is worth it. Unlike The Rainbow, which has been around since the 70's and is seeping with rock history, Feelgoods is essentially brand new. Opened in 2009, the bar offers a full menu, full bar and live entertainment 4 nights a week, including Bike Night on Wednesdays, local bands on Thursday and the occasional national act on weekends.
Feelgoods has ample free parking in their lot (score!), but if you're planning on indulging, take a cab (tip: You can't hail a cab from the street in Vegas; you must call a cab company ahead of time, so be prepared with a list of numbers). The bar layout is pretty cool; the bar part is a bit secluded from the main area/music hall with windows giving a peek out to the stage so you can still see a bit if you're sitting at one of the high top tables in the bar area. The Arbz sat at the same table on each of our trips and had a great view of people watching and the giant TV over the bar that played nonstop rock and metal videos from the 80s, 90s and now.
One of The Arbz's favorite things about Feelgoods is the specialty drink menu. Not only do they have clever, Motley Crue related names, they are delicious.
I enjoyed the Sunset Strip and the Kickstart - absolutely delicious and about half the price of a drink on the Strip. They were sweet, but not too sweet and went great with the cheese pizza we got (yes, we always seem to get pizza).The Sunset Strip (pictured below) combines Absolut Mango, mango puree, a splash of 7-Up and sweet and sour, served over ice. Yes, delicious! The Kickstart is a tasty concoction with Absolut, Peach Schnapps, Midori, Red Bull with a splash of OJ and grenadine served over ice. Also, delicious!
Unlike the Rainbow, Feelgoods is not constantly swarming with rockstars, although Vince does make an appearance at his place every so often. Lucky for the Arbz, we happened to be at Feelgoods for Bike Night with Vince and the Count (and it was our last night in Vegas!). Vince was sneaking off to the VIP area, but The Arbz are a force to be reckoned with! You can't stop us!
Whether you're looking for a low key night, or you're ready to rock out, Feelgoods is a necessary stop on your Vegas itinerary. Leave the Strip for a night, and head out onto West Sahara to rock out with all the pretentiousness and attitude of clubs and bars on the Strip.
Feelgoods Rock Bar & Grill is located at 6750 West Sahara, Las Vegas, NV 89146
