Flying X Saloon

Bar has a section of powder-​fine, shaved ICE they serve your cold beer on. You This place has live music almost every night. Dancing, juke box (when the bands aren’t there) bar by day… Club by night…

Waited for 15 minutes to be served. Waitress passed by 3 times, never acknowledged us. Party of 6, would’ve been a great tip. We left. Maybe another time when the waitress is more observant.

Here with friends from out of town. Service is great, food was okay and the band is awful! The lead singer is a douche bag and if his singing is any indication of the talent in this town I don’t see us coming back. Someone please buy him a pair of pants that fit and give him singing lessons.

The best red beers in town! Our waitress Alexis was fun and cheerful and extremely forgiving. Hands down one of the best places to visit in town.

This is the best bar in Lake Havasu (and yes I have been to all of them). My wife and I were here on Halloween and what a kick. The town shuts down the roads and the kids and adults dress up. We will be back next year and this will be our go to bar when we visit the Lake.

Love this place. Atmosphere is great. & the live music is fantastic! Bartenders are always friendly & even remember me each time I visit.

My husband and I went there on a Saturday night in October. It was packed! Live music (great country band), live music, good service, and the food was good with big portions. We only tried a pizza, but it was plenty big enough for the two of us. It was a really fun night and we will be back!

Had a blast here one random night on a Wednesday in Lake Havasu City! After a recommendation from our waiter, Christian at Barley Bros Brewery, we decided to stop down and check it out. It was hoppin’! Definitely a biker bar and great fun and lively local people! The place was pretty packed for a Wed night! Lucky for us the band MOJO was playing too… very good classic rock/​country rock band. Loads of people dancing on dance floor and the wait staff was great! Had some drinks and a great time listening to the band and making friends. They had a fun raffle for prizes going on as well and I won a shirt! So that’s an added plus! All in all a great stop on a first time ever trip to Lake Havasu! Recommended totally!

We have been here a few times in order to get a good feel for the place. Each time it has gotten worse, but it’s pretty typical for a Lake Havasu bar:
When first arriving, you will be greeted by 5 – 10 people loitering right outside the door, sucking down cigarettes like they got them in a sale at the dollar store. It creates a nice wall of smoke as you approach the door and clouds your ability to make a sensible decision — almost driving you to the door. The way the surely Nazi woman guarding the door gives everyone a scowl and thorough inspection before allowing them in, you would think she would be bashing in the smoker’s skulls with a pick axe in order to drive them back from the door!
Once you finally get past the door wench and enter the establishment, the first thing you will find is 50 people seated at the bar, blocking all access. In order to get a drink, one must go to the server reserved areas and battle with the waitresses. Once you are finally served your extra-​weak drink (that may or may not be what you ordered), you back up into the walking area because there is no other place to sit or stand. Once in the walkway, you will be shoved and pushed in every direction by each waitress who walks by to serve drinks to the geriatrics taking up all the tables. Flying X tip #501, if you want a place to sit, be sure to get there when they open. By the looks of things, the people at the tables were there long before opening — perhaps since the stone age! On an average night, the crowd is a mix of 75% pensioners, 20% single guys looking to score and hitting on anything in their line of sight (sometimes relentlessly), 3% average people, 1% good looking girls and 1% scary vagabonds.
Once you settle into a spot in the corner (away form the kitchen so you don’t smell like old grease), and manage to find a place where the two guys in wheelchairs don’t continually run over your foot as they wheel back and forth through the crowd 1000 times a night, you start to notice the music coming from the jukebox. It seems that they only have Journey and AC/​DC — I guess pretty typical for a dive bar. They probably figure that since everyone else in town plays the same two songs that nobody likes, they might as well do it too! Once the band starts playing, things get a little better although it’s still a country bar so how good can the music possibly get. Every night when I leave I’m extremely depressed after hearing about cheating wives, dying dogs, drinking problems and broken pickup trucks in every song!
If I had to pick the thing I liked the best about this establishment I would say: Leaving! That’s why it gets the extra star!

Absolutely thee best bar in havasu! Always a great atmosphere, great bands, lots of dancing.

Love this bar. Very nice staff here. Always cold beer. Has a very big dance floor and great music to dance to.

We were the only customers there. Two of us. Three employees. I have never seen three people work so hard to avoid eye contact. The woman behind the bar accidentally looked at my husband, then quickly ran to the other end of the bar. After five minutes of being ignored, we walked out. Saved us a few bucks, and there are plenty of other cool places in Lake Havasu to get a beer.

Awwww– kids, you’re not gonna like this one… but I am giving props to the venue itself. Appears well managed and I’ve never witnessed any fisticuffs action, however… don’t expect the guy sitting at the end of the bar to offer his barstool to ya while he’s chattin’ ya up and making time w all the pickup lines I’ve ever heard-there’s a nice sized dance floor– I very much enjoy when the floor is full and everybody is line dancing– it’s a kick just to watch them– I don’t do that– but like I said, if you stand up near the stage area you get the best view. Now here’s what bugs me: when its a freestyle dance, I’m disturbed at how these women attempt to dance all sexy style– they spread their legs very wide (yeah wearing dresses too) and just stand in one spot gyrating. My first thought: yeast infection & they need air down there… just a mess. Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. Seems very specific to the «Country Music» genre.
I don’t like country music– was just there w a-​hole bf that was in the band.
Good stuff about staff: waitresses are cute, nice style uniforms, and seem friendly– bar staff as well.
If you wanna go out and grab a smoke near the door, you can hear the drunkenly loud yammering of the ‘ladies’…usually they’re conversing about sex acts to each other — I swear that in the 3 or 4 times I’ve been there this is how it was. All I can say to end this review is: thank God I don’t live in Lake Havasu.

Great bar. Only place I found open late in this small vacation town. They hd live karaōke from 8−12pm on the Monday I visited.

We had so much fun here! Live music, excellent atmosphere and the staff were all super friendly. Definitely a great place to unwind and have a good time.

I came here while visiting my dad in LHC. Great bar, good vibes, the band was fantastic! Beers were frosty cold, and the bartenders were personable. I didn’t try their food, but next time I’m in town, I will be sure to stop back in! I met some really nice local folks, as well.

Fun place. We didn’t have any food so I’m not even sure if they have any. The live band was good and lots of friendly people. Was a definite fun spot.

It’s a cool place if you don’t expect much. Forget getting a table, standing only. If you buy a drink, you can’t hold it while on the dance floor. So, drink it or dump it, you are being watched. Average five bar, for Havasu standards .
Live band on weekends only. If you don’t expect much, you won’t be disappointed .
Only country bar in town, so for now, it’s there way or the highway !

I love this bar!
I’m sure glad this place opened up! If you’re looking for country music in Havasu… This IS it! Come on Friday & Saturday and dance your booty off to live music.
Yes, it’s loud… yes, it’s crowded… yes, the people here range from barely able to drink to the needing a walker crowd (remember youngsters, you’ll be there some day too — at least the older crowd is out havin fun).
Get out your cowboy boots and hats or flip flops and have a great time!

My husband and I came to the Flying X Saloon for a high school reunion get together. It was not what I was expecting! The place was extremely crowded — not just from the folks attending the get together but from all sorts of people trying to have a fun Friday night. The inside was loud with music blaring from speakers and then a band got on stage and they were even louder. It was extremely hard to have a conversation with anyone and even ordering a drink you are lucky they can hear you. The theme is different (for Havasu) and very country. What really stood out were the patrons at the ‘saloon’. From legal drinking age all the way to old-​timers who should probably be in bed — all ages in Daisy Dukes and other revealing country themed clothing. Yes, it is Havasu. Yes, I do need to scrub my eyeballs.
Overall, I liked the theme, the cute mason jar drinks, and the location isn’t bad — but it definitely wasn’t a place I’d like to visit again anytime soon. Maybe a bachelorette party would be fun here or if you just want to enjoy the music and drinks. Otherwise, it just wasn’t my thing.
