The Nerd

Cool place with friendly staff and cheap booze. Minus 1 star for the bowling. Mailfunctions alot.

I like this place and feel like I am one of the only ones. Please tell me what is wrong with free bowling (no matter how many lanes are open), free games and free entry. It is nice to have a place in Vegas that doesn't nickle and dime you. A few Halloweens ago I went there and they had costume contests, tarot card readers and games. I continue to support this place and enjoy hanging out there. Also the dancing area is awesome since it is a UFC cage. More...

Barcades are popping up everywhere. It seems when one closes, there's another one taking its place. This is the case with The Nerd, which is in the middle of Fremont Street. It's not bad for being in the middle of a busy area. Most games here are free. I came with a couple friends and they didn't think it was that bad. One is a big fan of these barcades. We had fun for about an hour. An annoying thing is just getting here because it's a little difficult to find. This is upstairs at the northwest corner of Fremont and Vegas. Overall it's not a bad barcade. A lot of games are free as long as you buy a drink. The bowling is more fun than the arcade games. More...

I didn't know what to expect coming in here. You never know with Vegas. And I live here. LolThere are bowling lanes,  video games,  arcade games, UFC inspired dancefloor,  seating areas, plus lots of current TV series inspired show memorabilia. I kinda lost my sh*t when I saw Michael Meyer's.  - don't judge I love horrorCurrent music playing and just overall a great vibe. The drinks were probably the most reasonable out of my shenanigans for the night. Plenty of seating either at the bar, or several booth lounge seating areas. Great vibe good peopleWe ordered the Portal and Sex on the beach made with pineapple. Tianna was truly the MVP tonight. She made my experience pretty darn wonderful. Location Fremont Experience- parking garage or lots. This place is def a great 1st date spot or even just to come chill and have a great time. I'll be back in here for sure. More...

An unexpected trip to Vegas had me scrambling to make a list of cool places to go to. Not wanting to hit the manufactured, overstimulating tourist traps I was directed to The Nerd by a great friends of mine who insisted all of the real Vegas was on Fremont Street. I'm here to publicly say that she was right. This Nerd found The Nerd to be a legit haven for anyone who loves pop culture, movies, comics, video games, great drinks and beer and fun. I was able to meet most of the staff and the owner and they were legit geeks. The amount of screen used props in there is worth the trip alone (Hood from Stuntman Mike's car from Death Proof, Hazmat suit from Breaking Bad, Green Goblin spear from the Tobey Spider-Man) but add in the gaming, bowling, pool and more and it's a must visit everytime. And the staff is usually in awesome cosplay. Can't wait to return. More...

Enjoyed my first visit to the Nerd. I read some of the reviews and decided to try it for myself. Bartender, Megan, was attentive and friendly. The free gaming is definitely a plus to pass time while having some drinks with friends. I know some of the comments say otherwise but glad we decided to stop by. & look forward to doing so again in the future. More...

Pretty awesome concept! Everything cool and "nerdy" that a guy could want in one place. They have a video game arcade, bowling lanes, a UFC Octagon, a DJ playing 90's best music and a great beer selection on tap. Carmen the bartender is amazing and made our experience even better! Great conversation! Will definitely be back soon! More...

The best thing about this bar is it's a place you can go and be yourself. The Nerd is a "nerd bar" off of Fremont Street. It's a nice change of pace from the 'typical' Vegas clubs and rowdy bar scene . At the Nerd it's cosplay night every night and if you wear a costume you get a $1 discount on your drink. The bartenders dress in different costumes and onesies each night and on the weekends they have themed costumes. The bartenders are all veteran bartenders and if you ask Martha or Jay for a special mixed drink they can make you something worth coming down to Fremont for. The Nerd has free bowling and video games if you buy a drink. Which is cool because you won't find free Bowling anywhere downtown. They also have arcade games so bring your quarters! If you are into Funko pops you can win pops in one of the games and they have a huge variety of pops and Pokémon stuff for sale also. They even have pops that are autographed! The Nerd is different because they always have special edition liquors and beer on tap. Try a Game of Thrones Beer when you go. My favorite mix drink is a "Blue Meth" themed after the tv show Breaking Bad. The Nerd also has tv and movie memorabilia for sale which is super cool to see stuff displayed from your favorite movies and tv shows. It's also a great place to take pics with your friends because of the decor of the bar with cool couches, chairs and even a lifesize Pumpkinhead! On the weekends they have events with celebrity guests. I've met actors I never thought I would meet in real life that are just hanging out at The Nerd Bar. This bar is a safe place for everyone. All nerds and LGBTQ are welcome! More...

This bar is so fun!! They have free bowling, free video games, and free pool tables ;) I love the chill vibe filled with tons of cool nerdy decor :) The bartenders are really cool. They're sexy nerdy girls dressed in cute kigurumis. Martha was our bartender. She was dressed in a Pikachu kigurumi, which was kind of funny at the time since I was catching Pokémon at the bar lol They don't have a kitchen, but they do allow Uber eats to deliver food, or you could walk and bring something back; it's a non issue.They have a lot of unique gifts for purchase, such as autographed funko dolls, retro stuffed animals, vintage t-shirts... I wish I had more room in my suitcase to bring stuff back :( What's interesting about this bar is they host live gaming competitions, autograph signings, and live memorabilia auctions. It's a must stop if you're downtown ;) More...

Overall, this place is fun and a great atmosphere. I love that they don't charge for any of the games or bowling. The only games that you do have to pay for are the arcade games although none of them worked when we tried them. Hopefully they're fixed by now. Their drinks are pretty overpriced but I guess it makes up for the gaming being free. They have specialty drinks that are named after characters, games, etc. The specialty drinks I had from them were really good! When it comes to service, the bartenders are nice but the service is kinda slow. They have comics all over the walls in the men's bathroom which is fun! They have a lot of interesting things going on in this place and I think it's a great hangout spot. There's a lot of space and a lot of things to do - a lot more than other typical bars offer. Go check it out for yourself! More...

Loved this bar! Not too busy & the atmosphere is definitely nerdy. A lot of cool pic opportunities. They also provide free games (bowling, video games, board games), so you can drink & play. Pricing on the drinks was very reasonable as well, plus the drinks were tasty. Just wish they had a larger selection of specialty drinks. But, will stop by this spot again when I'm in Vegas. More...

My bf and I loved this place. We were in town for an event and were just walking around seeking shelter from the heat when we saw this place. The bartender was just opening up for the day so we were pretty much the only ones in there for a while. There were about 3 people working and they were all really nice and chatty. You buy a drink and all the activities are free. Theyve got bowling, all the console games you can think of, a few classic arcade, and some table top games like jenga. We spent about 2 hours here bowling, playing classic nintendo, and xbox. We probably would have spent more time here if we didnt already have an event to get to. This would be a great place to come to with a larger group. Drink prices were reasonable for the area, especially considering all there is to do inside the bar. We would definitely be regulars here if we lived in the area! More...

This place is so spunky! There are tons of comic references in addition to pop culture - I love it. I've actually been here twice; once while randomly walking the downtown area and another during a Santa Bar Crawl. Both times were so much fun. There are bowling alleys, pool tables and a dance floor in addition to a sizeable bar. All the staff has been attentive and friendly during both of my visits.On a non bar crawl night I'd say this is a good place to come hang out and enjoy some good priced drinks with friends. Not a club by any means, but a level up from your average bar. A happy medium!It doesn't seem like it gets to packed so if you like lowkey undiscovered places, check this one out quick! More...

The Nerd is right across the street from the start of the Fremont Street Experience, in the main plaza, on the second floor. Hard to find, but its slightly tucked away location keeps it mostly locals and keeps it easy to get a drink at the bar even on a Friday night. Feeling social? Hop on the dance floor and dance to 90s music videos, K-pop songs and tv show theme songs. Feeling not social...? Sit down at a game console and make some online friends instead. All of the video games, pool tables and bowling lanes are free to use. You can reserve yourself a lane on their website or show up and grab a lane. The Nerd has plenty of places to sit and not feel obligated to stand around the bar to talk to others. All of the activities makes it easy to make friends. Check out their calendar to see what cosplay theme they have going on! The Nerd is like an indoor/online version of Gold Spike to me, with less tourists and a more welcoming crowd. New favorite spot downtown, for sure! More...

Do you miss Insert Coins? Has Millennium Fandom bar 86'd you? Then come on down to the Nerd.  It's a nice mix of both.  Three bar itself is rather small,  but the bartenders make it work.  There are a ton of different rooms including a stage/ dance floor, a bowling alley (that is super cute btw) and the game room.  I thought the game room was super fun.  Free Pool (not the best equipment,  but it's free right?), video games,  board games,  and local art.  The video game chairs are up high,  so you can feel like a king when doing your thing.  It's located on the second floor of neonopolis, slightly hard to find.

Would have never found this place if it wasn't for that promo girl handing out fliers on the corner street by Slotzilla. Went in on a Tuesday night 10/10/17. Place was pretty fun. There was a pretty good dj that took my request, music was good, alcohol decently poured and fairly priced. The bowling lanes were a dry, but it was free to bowl. Wish the arcade were free to play. Definitely worth checking out if you've never been here. More...

I just want to say how INCREDIBLE this place is, hands down. If you need something different from the normal Vegas, look no further! Except...it's kind of hidden in the plaza where the Denny's is (also a score when you get munchies after!) if you can't find, look for the Denny's & head up the escalator to the 2nd floor.First of all, the logo is an octopus with glasses. It's adorable. I went on a week day, no cover then. Could be different fri/sat.Amenities include free bowling, pool tables, board games (like, who has Quelf?! Am I right?! Bring your own Cards Against Humanity though), video games (Smash Brothers, Justice, NES games), there's even a room to have events. I may or may not have suggested my cousin get married there...At the bar they have alcoholic slushy ice creams I kid you not! I got grape, because duh. I also got my husband a mystery Street Fighter action figure for $10 because YES! I will say that I loved it most in the beginning of the night, it's more low key. My cousin & I DOMINATED the dance floor with our Naploean Dynamite dance moves to soundtrack themes (Harry Potter, Nightmare Before Christmas, Sailor Moon Japanese theme song, video game themes like Zelda, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, MK, Mario, you name it), Die Antword, Old Skool, etc. Once it gets super late it's just normal club music (still good DJ, but just not nerdy), I was having fun being a nerd until then haha!The owner of the bar was kind enough to see our dance moves & bring us drinks on the house. That was a very personable & genuine gesture. The bartender made up the recipe on the spot, it was a cool teal drink, so yummy! There are so many surprises, you'll be Forrest Gumping at that Box of Chocolates of a place every time! More...
