Hardway 8

Hardway 8 is a sports bar with food so good, it made our list of top new restaurants back in 2019. The menu is more streamlined and less ambitious these days, but you can't argue with the pork belly in the Skillet Nachos, and the blistered Brussels sprouts in the Caesar Salad. The local pride is strong, tipping a hat to Las Vegas history with a bar top made with wood from the basketball court at the old Las Vegas Convention Center, a mural dedicated to the city's history of jai alai, and a photo montage of pro athletes doing things athletes shouldn't do. Yes, Deion Sanders is on there. The name of the bar is an homage to the 1977 Rebels basketball team.
How to book: Just walk in. The vibe is pretty loose. Contact Hardway 8 directly to ask about private events and large groups.
