Fake dive bar in Las Vegas? It's my brother's bachelor party...

It's my brother's bachelor party, and after the Spearmint Rhino, nine of us would like to end up at a dark, smoky bar with young clientele. Preferably with punk rock or outlaw country on the jukebox. Pretty, tattooed bartenderettes are a plus. Most of these guys live in New York, and I've hung out with them at The Library and Doc Holidays when I've visited and had a great time, at other bars, less so. Any suggestions? Mostly we'd like to find a place to hang out and drink beer that isn't too sportsbar / sad old man / chic club / or frat boy-ish.

The Library? I used to love that place. Next time you're in NYC, go to Odessa on Avenue A.

Second Double Down. Fits your criteria perfectly.

If you want faux hipster you can always go the Beauty Bar (it fits most of your criteria save the dark part).

Third the Double Down, and I'd suggest skipping the Rhino and going to Scores instead...

Double Down is the place you want to go, just in case you needed one more opinion to confirm it for you.

The Double Down always has great live music. You'll have fun. You can go here to check out the bands that are coming to town.

Double Down. Order the ASS JUICE. You won't be dissapointed. Or able to hold your gorge down.

My gf went to the Beauty Bar in Vegas -- from the photos she brought back, the clientele pretty much looked the same as any other faux dive you'd go to in SF or NYC or whatever.

FWIW, they had fun there.

Oh, and the Bikini Bullriding thing at the Frontier? Total sham. Not a bikini in sight, though there were plenty of cowboy hats. Just thought you'd want to know in advance.

Double Down is EXACTLY what you've ordered.
