Located in Las Vegas, the Hard Hat Lounge is the oldest dive bar still operating in southern Nevada. The dive bar originally opened back in 1962 and reopened in December 2023.
In addition to being open 24/7, the dive bar has a happy hour deal with low-priced well drinks and beers every afternoon and evening.
The spot has a full menu focusing on burgers, including vegan smash burgers, plus tater tots and dips. The burgers are made at an in-house eatery called Stay Tuned Burgers.
The bar also hosts events and concerts for locals and tourists alike. There are also weekly happenings, like jazz on Mondays and karaoke on Wednesdays.
