Surf City Bar & Grill

Finally got around to checking this spot out after living three miles away for over a decade.
I was pleasantly surprised and will be sure to return.
The bar looks like it was picked up from a beach city and transplanted into North Las Vegas– it’s super cute with tiki hut/​surf board décor, very clean and well maintained.
There are tables made of surf boards, brightly colored furnishings and whimsical decorations suspended from the ceiling– a nice change from the myriad of shady taverns in the city.
The tap selection is surprisingly diverse, featuring staples like Sam Adams and Blue Moon but also Hoffbrauhaus.
The property is connected to a Mexican restaurant next door. While the restaurant closes at 10, there is a limited food menu available all night at the bar. Will be sure to try it next time.
They have a clean and well maintained coin operated pool table, which was my main draw tonight.
Bartender was very friendly and chatty, all in all place has a really friendly vibe, I’m sure to add them to my list of «go to» spots.

Love this place a little more each time I come. Once you get to know the bartenders it’s hard to go anywhere else. The food is great (especially the guacamole). Can’t beat this spot when you want to relax with good food, booze and people. ;)

Good happy hour. Good food. Not too smokey for a bar. Gotta love Mexican food in large portions.
It’s a San Diego Chargers spot. So all the better for my families team. Bring the football season and bring the cold beer. We are ready.
Only there twice, so far. Yet with our food orders and what we saw to others served. You won’t get tired of the menu. I saw locals there, which the bartender called by name. I like spots where they know your name. More personable.

Sizzling enchiladas are where it’s at. Also the carnitas and shredded beef tacos are fat and juicy. Chips were nice and warm served with tasty salsa, not to hot. Friendly service and a full tummy. Glad I found this spot. Yum!

The food is very good, always hot and tasty. The service could use work. The manager seems good and will work to get your order done for you. The bartenders the several times I have been there seem to be younger under 35 and just not so interested in being welcoming unless they know you. So I bring my own friends in that way you don’t have to rely on them for any type of sincere verbal exchange. The place is easy to get into and centrally located within NW Las Vegas but if you are expecting a «Cheers» type atmosphere (Fa-​getit) lol… One other good thing it appears to be a drug free zone which is kinda hard to find here.

Tacos for $ 1 after 8! They are soo good :) We live right near this bar, it is an awesome neighborhood grill, reminds me of the years I lived in Southern California! The tacos are so juicy, what do they do to those things that keep me coming back for more!
And the manager is awesome and from New Jersey like me so it’s really fun to catch him in there late night and shoot the Jersey sh*t!
Great place :)

My brother, BFF, boyfriend and myself decided to check this bar out last night. It was big and bright with nice colorful décor. We wanted to play pool and to our surprise it was only 75 cents! That’s hard to find in decent bars. So my brother and boyfriend sit at the bar while my BFF and I set up the pool table. My brother then walks up to me and says the bartender wants to see our IDs. So I took my BFF and my IDs over to the bar and this pathetic excuse of a bartender (blonde with fake chesticles) keeps walking pass me and kept talking to the other customers and paid no mind to us. Not once, but three times she walks pass. My brother extends both IDs so she can see it. Finally she comes up to us and asks what I would like to drink. I said nothing you wanted to see our IDs right? And she goes, «Oh yeah.» Takes a glimpse, and basically shoves it back. Rude, much? Her attitude was so horrid, my brother and boyfriend left the bar area so they didn’t have to deal with her attitude. By the way blondie, if you’re working for tips, next time, you should be nice to EVERYONE. Because our group was the richest people at the bar at the time and you didn’t get a tip from us. You were totally barking up the wrong tree.
why one star? POOR SERVICE FROM BLONDIE!

The bartender was vey unpleasant. The bar was empty with only one other couple in the bar and she acted as if we were interrupting her. I asked the prices of there draft beer and I got an extremely rude response. Both of out orders came out missing part of the meal and I didn’t notice until about halfway threw the meal and when I brought to our bartenders attention she rudely replied that I could have said something before I ate half of it. The burrito was mostly beans with barley any meet.

This place is great, every bartender is awesome and I always win here

We ate at the Que Mas restaurant inside the Surf City and had a
coupon. We ordered the fajitas… one chicken and one steak. The food was good with large servings … atmosphere and service… were good. The margaritas and chip/​salsa were fine as well. From what I’ve read of this place, the bar is not the place to eat. I’ll be back with another coupon; trying different dishes and writing additional comments.
Updated: 02/​10/​2013. We entered at the Que Mas entrance and were seated promptly. We ordered 2 house margaritas. They were good. Manny, our server, did a great job. Nice chips and salsa. My girlfriend ordered fish tacos and I ordered the Supreme Fajitas. My girlfriend stated that the fish tacos were some of the best she’s had in a very long time and she’s from Florida. My fajitas were tastey… the shrimp was cooked well… very flavorful. The serving size was very nice… I got a to-​go box and had some left-​over fajitas for breakfast. I like this place… kinda cozy, not too dark, not noisey and the service was good. They take coupons from
. I will be back again.

Excellent service. Clean bar. Great atmosphere

Well, I notice there hasn’t been a review on this place in a while… but…sorry to say, not much appears to have changed.
The service is very subpar in that the bartenders ten to ignore the heck out of you if you don’t sit there five days a week and play their bar slots. Actually, they spend a LOT of time talking to each other like they don’t spend hours on hours together at work. It’s actually kinda pathetic… Not to mention, one of the bartenders is a smoker and he’s always chain smoking over on the side which I find rather rude. I don’t think I’ve EVER been in an establishment where it was ok for employees to smoke WHILE working, but *shrug*…When they FINALLY do get to you, they are nice I guess but by then you already feel like crap from having been ignored for so long…
The food… comes from Que Mas (attached/​same biz) and it’s pretty good. My fave are the chicken wings (they’re fried with some great hot sauce on the side) with the nachos coming in second. Dollar tacos are a winner too.
The drinks are so-​so. Nothing to write home about (hence, why I’m writing about them on Unilocal lol) and you can get them ANYWHERE. No signature drink that I’m aware of and the happy hour prices cover only the basic beers/​margaritas. Again, nothing you can’t find at any bar.
The only major upside is that the place is never really super crowded that I’ve ever seen… but hey… that may have something to do with the service *shrug*

This your local area ²⁴⁄₇ bar and grill, but it serves Mexican food. I love this place reasonable drink prices, great margaritas, and a friendly staff! I’m in here at least once a week for Brad, Jason, and Bridget, they are the best. They are why I show up! If you need Mexican food at any hour, this I the place in north las Vegas! Dollar tacos at night FTW! damn good tacos for a buck too.

Being best friends with the bartenders helps but my friends and I practically lived here for a long time. We knew the whole staff, and have some great memories from this place. The prices are great, and the food is incredible (for bar food).

This is purely for the «Bar». I went to have a bloody mary. The bartender was a bleach blonde, fake boobs girl. When she approached us she did not say hello or anything, she just looked at us and kind of leaned in to see if we were just gonna order i guess… We asked about the happy hour and she told us about it and left to help another customer! She didnt come back right away either! I should have taken my instinct and just left but i though i would give her a chance. When she finally came back we ordered bloody marys. They were horrible. She just put Vodka, bloody mary mix and maybe pepper in it. I did not drink mine, we paid for one and left, what a waste. PLUS it smelled like cigarettes in there. Gross.

Ok, I’m giving this 4 stars even though I only wanted to give it 3 stars. Here’s why:
1. Phil S. writes a nice review with no faults & still gives it only 3 stars. WTF Phil? «Awesome» nachos, bar & table seating, a jukebox — where’s the loss of stars? Location? Get real. You shouldn’t deduct stars because you had to drive home drunk too far — that’s your own damn fault.
2. It is connected to and part of Que Mas Mexican Café next door, and Que Mas is the best casual Mexican sit-​down restaurant I’ve found in North Las Vegas so far. Yummy. Read my review there unless Unilocal takes my advice and lumps the two places together as they should.
3. Service at the bar was good, but not great. Bartender was hot, but she spent too much time with the «regulars» at the bar and ignored me & my girl (who is also hot) while jabbering with them. Not cool, so they only deserve 3 stars. At least the bar part does. Hmmm — maybe they shouldn’t lump the two places together after all.
In fact, the rather lackluster (it wasn’t bad enough to be crappy or reprehensible) service at the bar might have been enough to warrant only two stars. I gave them the benefit of the doubt due to the fact that the day shift bartender (did I mention she was hot?) was working swing shift this night, covering for the regular swing bar babe. She was a little tired & out of her element, so probably not at her best. She looked good though, so if you don’t mind waving your hands or whistling across the bar to get her attention then you’re all good. Make sure to order a shot from a bottle on the bottom shelf while you’re at it. :-)
And get a margarita too — we tried them when we went back to the restaurant part a couple of weeks later & they were absolutely spectacular. Didn’t stop in the bar part to see if it was our ignore-​the-​newbies hottie who made them ’cause the GF was pretty «anxious» to get home after having a couple with dinner, so we split rather quick. Check please!!!

I would like to give this place zero stars for many reasons but it made me give it at least one.
We had just moved to the area and after a long day of unpacking we decided to go get some food and drinks and since this was one of the few places I had passed on the way to the new place we decided to try it out. We got there and sat at one of the tables instead of the bar since we knew we were going to be ordering food. Well i guess it was to much to ask for the bartender to acknowledge us let alone come to the table to take our order so my boyfriend went to the bar and placed our order for both the food and drinks. There were 3 of us and we each ordered a meal and then an order of chips and salsa as an appetizer. We never got the chips and salsa and I ordered a beef chimichanga and received chicken enchiladas (not even close to the same thing). Not once did the bartender check on us, ask if we needed anything or even ask if we wanted another drink so we continued going up to the bar to get our drinks and finally to get our check.
I was dead set on never going back there but my boyfriend convinced me that maybe it was just a fluke and so we tried it again. This time we knew to just sit at the bar if we wanted to get any service. I had to use the restroom and when I came back the bartender still hadn’t even said so much as a hi to my boyfriend and continued to have a conversation with another employee that must have just gotten off work. We still sat there for a few minutes waiting and he still never even turned around so we got up to leave and then he turned around and said «oh can I get you guys something». We said no and walked out.
So if you feel like eating, getting what you ordered and actually being waited on I would suggest not going to this place.

Bar and grille with surfer décor. I visited this bar once as one of a few bars during a night of barhopping and It was a nice locals place. I had the nachos which were big and awesome, but there are other menu items available. The food comes from the kitchen next door which is a Mexican restaurant of which the name slips my mind right now. This place has bar and table seating, tables are made out of surfboards. There is also a touch screen juke box for all your music needs. A little far in North Las Vegas and I live in North Las Vegas, but closer to Downtown. Check it out if you are ever in the area.
