The Sporting House Bar & Grill

I loved this place when it was ESPN Zone, so I always find myself coming back for the sports bar environment.
First of all, we walked into the bar area and we informed that since the staff was short handed, we’d have to order our food and drinks at the bar.
I wasn’t dying of hunger, so I ordered the pretzel appetizer. My pretzel was definitely big enough to share, arrived warm, and came with a nacho cheese sauce. I get that the ‘cheese sauce’ isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I always like some suspiciously long lasting nacho cheesiness with my pretzel. Just what I needed.
My husband ordered the cheeseburger with fries. Usually, when I ask how his food is, his response is something like ‘eh…it’s fine.’ It’s never a compelling vote of confidence. With that said, my husband said he really liked his burger. I think that’s as good as it’s gonna get, folks!
The food was good. The service was very friendly, but painfully slow. A little on the pricey side. Come here if you wanna catch a game and nosh on some snacks.

Formally the ESPN Zone
Was here for March Madness, they had every game on. Tons of waitresses, fast service, great specials. No complaints from me at all. Only gave 4 stars because this is VEGAS! There are lots of high quality places to eat at.
But for watching sports here, this place wont disappoint. As for food goes, I very much enjoyed the pepperoni pizza. It will set you back about $ 13

So if you need to catch a game but want some food as well, this is the place to go. Other than the TV’s everywhere showing every game currently playing there is really nothing special about this spot.
Our waitress did an okay job. The drinks were a bit weak and pricey. I had the Steak sandwich with French fries. I have to say it was pretty decent for a sports bar.
I wouldn’t go back, it’s not really my thing, but you may like it!

I’ve never quite known what to call it, there’s no adjective that really describes why part of me enjoys visiting these sports bar or restaurants, and to those who will say «well do you like sports?» the answer is, I don’t dislike sports but I’m not really any regular follower of anything either. Others might say «well they have beer» and while that certainly can help, so do most bars so there’s more to it than that!
As a result, and also partially because I’m determined to use some unusual adjective to describe this phenomenon I’ll just go with, I seem to have some kind of odd simpatico with sporting bars!
Part of it is definitely that when I’m in the mood I just enjoy the general emotion, noise and fast paced atmosphere of these places. I have a stressful work life, and these places seem to help me to disconnect from that for a bit in a way that other places just don’t — it might sound odd, but believe me it actually works (for me at least) and in the case of the visit here I was just starting a well needed vacation.
Our server was great, both friendly and helpful. He explained all the specials they had going on and was very attentive and everything was brought out quickly despite the fact it was quite busy while we were there.
Definitely a good place, especially if you’re staying in the New York New York hotel and also have your own adjective that draws you to this kind of venue!

There was only one waiter in the place the night we went, so that definitely reflects in my rating. 10 mins in, we were ready to ditch the place. Ended up staying because when our mixed drinks did finally come out they were delicious! One of our drink orders came back wrong. But even the mistake drink was good. Three stars for slow service and the prices are too high for the service we had. Got pretty toasted and ordered some BBQ wings, those were decent. Waiter forgot about my wings order, so it cane out really late. Could have been a better experience if the waiter had some help.

Terrible!
When we are greeted @ the door the hostess tells us there is a $ 15.00 minimum per person per hour… trust me that’s not a problem but such a turn off to be there greeting. We had a bunch of appetizers and none were good. People… stop serving Guacomole from a bag it’s awful!!! Fresh is best… duh!

As we only have a couple beers this review belongs to the Sports-​Bar experience only.
As someone who’s not used to this kind of Sportbars (I’m from Europe) i love this kind of establishment. Here you have a great option to hang a few hours and watch some sports.
Great service and this kind of atmosphere you miss back home…

I was a little skeptical about getting steak and shrimp at a sports bar… but it was delicious! I don’t know what they do to their mashed potatoes but I want to find out :-)
The atmosphere was great and the service excellent. We had a circular booth that had an attached touch screen TV and speakers around the back that we controlled. One of the best sports viewing experiences that I’ve had!

Walking into The Sporting House the Sunday I was in Las Vegas was one of the best decisions I have made. Every NFL game was on, great atmosphere, and you are given a player from a team and if he scores or gets points you drink for free.
I had a blast there, and I highly recommend going! Great food, service, and reasonably priced.

A sports fan paradise. Plenty of big screen sports. Great staff. Good food. Good drinks.
I have been here before when it was the ESPN Zone and dont rember it being that nice. You can find me & sugar foot in Vegas often and I think this now will be added to the regular joints to visit.

+1 for the free wifi which saved me on a trip to Vegas awhile ago giving me a comfy place to get my fantasy football draft done (I won that league too btw).
Food is like what you get at an Applebee’s or something. Not very good, but it will soak up the alcohol for you.
Service was good and my beer always stayed full. Quite a few big TVs so it is a good place to watch the games.

We ended up getting some late night takeout courtesy of myvegas (a Facebook game for slot machine addicts that earns you vegas comps). The waiter was super friendly even though we squeaked in right before they closed. I had their chopped salad with turkey, bacon, avocado, green onion, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, craisins, walnuts and blue cheese tossed in a balsamic dressing. It was really really good and they didn’t skimp on any of the good stuff! The portions are large and definitely could have been split between two people.
We also ordered fried cheese curds, baja fish burrito, california turkey burger, and cheese filled meatballs and spaghetti. Overall everyone thought their food was pretty good. The only complaint was the spaghetti and meatballs. Apparently the meatballs were a little dry and the spaghetti sauce was a bit acidic for her tastes.
If I’m nearby New York New York next time I’m in Vegas, I definitely wouldn’t mind stopping by for another meal.

The atmosphere is just fine — a sports bar, next to the sports book, with a bunch of TVs showing awesome sports. Sports.
Beyond that, it’s only okay.
First the positive — the beer selection is fine enough for a sports bar, and the prices are good for the strip. Craft beers are $ 10 for a 24 oz, which is about as good as you can hope for.
From there, it’s all disappointing. The service was not rude, but not terribly friendly either. She was slow, inefficient, and dragged things out. We also grabbed some appetizers, most notably nachos, that came out fast enough but were extremely disappointing. The equivalent of cheap nacho cheese, plain chips. Also, an added $ 4 for steak that wasn’t huge on quantity or quality.
I’ll be back for beers, and only when there is a game on, but that’s about it. There’s nothing more here to please in my experience.

I think this place is a wonderful place to catch a game if your trip to LV happens to coincide with the big game (which my happened to be) a few weeks ago.
Located in the New York, New York Casino, the restaurant is situated next to the area where sports bets can be made.
Once you arrive, the hostess asks if you are here to watch a major game and they will give you options of locations to watch it. If you watch it in the bar area you don’t need to spend a minimum/​person but if you want to eat in the restaurant area, they have a $ 15/​person minimum per hour that they keep tabs on.
I understand this policy because it dissuades customers to come here and hog a booth ordering only one beer.
Our party was seated in one of the booths facing the huge mural of TV screens. The personal booths had built in speaker systems and a personal TV screen on the table. You could pick the different feeds labeled clearly from the mural to be transmitted to your own TV so it was extremely easy to catch different games at the same time. It’s the perfect set-​up for any sports fan or sports fan’s girlfriend :)
Once we were seated at the booth, we clarified the $ 15/​person/​hour policy with our server who was extremely professional and nice. The $ 15/​person policy is making sure you order about that much in food and drink per hour but she’s not going to be too strict with it. (E.G. make sure it’s $ 15/​hour on the dot)
The menu itself is pretty standard sports-​bar food with burgers, sandwiches, salads and appetizers. Everything we ordered was pretty well made so I have no complaints there.
The pizza was especially well made with a great chewy crust!
The chips in the Nachos seemed housemade and it was perfectly crisp.
Overall, I would definitely venture back here if my goal was to watch a game. I don’t think I would come here purely for food though since there are so many yummy and unique options on the Strip.
The hostess was rather cold and uncaring but the servers were all extremely helpful and efficient.
There’s a storefront located near the entrance of the restaurant that sells sports souvenirs and trinkets of most of the major teams.

Great TV setup for sports fans.
The food itself was not great, but it was still pretty good. You get a a fair amount for your money, which is nice. Good place to go, watch an event, and nurse a couple pitchers of beers and orders rounds of appetizers.

Don’t you just love Unilocal and the freedom to pose your own opinions? :) I love this place, great food, great service. What else do you want? I had a philly cheese steak sandwich and i ate the WHOLE thing… it was my bday and I even had the cheese cake my friends got for me. I know there are a lot of options in Vegas, but I am glad I ended up here. Yumm Yumm

I had WAAAAYYY too much fun here with strangers last Sunday night! So much fun in fact that I can’t remember what happened for about 3 hours of my life. That’s what happens when you rely on your dang co-​worker to look after you but he ditches you cuz he’s too tired. That also happens when work customers buy you AMFs that are potent as heck! Or maybe I was roofied… lol…
But it’s ok… everyone needs to let loose once in a while and we all had a great time so no complaints.

AWESOME place to watch sports. We were here for the NCAA Final Four tourney and it was packed, but not to the point where you couldn’t find a tv or somewhere to watch the games. We hit the sports book at NYNY first so we could put in some bets, then came here and got a table upstairs.
The food was decent, but well priced for Vegas!!! The drinks were good — most had beers but I had a few mixed drinks and they were fairly strong and priced well for Vegas standards. Service was above average and our waitress was super nice. With the amount of people in the place, service was pretty fast and nobody had any issues with the orders.
Tons of tv’s here and all kinds of games so you can end up staying in here for hours and have a blast. We all had a great time and would definitely come back to watch sports here.

Expect gourmet food and you’ll be disappointed, expect a great sports bar and you’ll have a great time here (this place used to be a ESPN Zone before they closed).
I got into town and wanted to see the Packers-​Raiders game, the place was packed and I was somehow able to get seats at the bar. There are a ton of TVs here so you should be able to see your game from anywhere.
Jeni is an awesome bartender! She’s friendly and gave me samples of a couple different beers before I made my selection. She even promised to put the Capitals game on a few days later if we made it back (sorry, Jeni, we’ll be back next trip). I tried the fried zucchini which wasn’t greasy and I would recommend as it’s much better than it sounds. Also, try the pretzel, this thing is the size of a dinner plate and comes with a honey mustard sauce that you won’t be disappointed by. This is the perfect place for a visitor on the Strip trying to catch their «hometown» game while in Vegas.
If you want to place a bet, the NYNY sportsbook is right next to this place.

looks like a good place to eat, drink, play some arcade, and watch some sports. got there around 4:50 pm and noticed that they had happy hours for $ 4 appetizers that ended at 5 pm so was kinda in a rush. the waitress said our orders wont count for the happy hour special because their computers weren’t gonna take it cause it was 5. we already knew what we wanted and all she had to do was place the order, if it went through good, if it doesn’t come back and tell us and will pay the difference or order something else. she probably could have got it in but see decided to stall and instead of trying. yea she was friendly but if she tried a little more it would have made us happy, she still had 10 mins. it was also a Friday and this place was slow.
we still just got appetizers cause their food were pretty pricey. I had the nachos for $ 8.95 added pieces of steak for $ 4 more. it was a huge plate of tortilla chips and what looked like a lot of toppings on top but after eating a few chips i noticed that there was way too much chips and not enough toppings, also I noticed that there wasn’t a lot of pieces of steak so i would recommend no even adding the steak and it tasted pretty plain. we also had the waffle cheese fries which was loaded with chili, cheese, and bacon for $ 10.95. this was also a huge plate but again not a lot of flavor. last was buffalo wings for $ 10.95. they were kinda small size and had about 8 wings, pretty salty and over cooked, came with two small sticks of carrots and celery.
their beers are around $ 7 typical for the strip.
overall the food is OK just needed more flavor its like eating a huge bag of plain popcorn it’ll get you full but you wont be satisfied.
i do like that they have a lot of TVs showing all the baseball games. some booths even have a their own TVs. you can sit in a recliner instead of at a table or booth. above average sports bar restaurant design and environment.
they did get irritating towards the end cause they kept asking us if we needed anything else, if we needed a container for our food, for the bill etc we had a lot of food in out plates still and were just enjoy our foods watching the games.
checked their website when i got home and notice that they had a promo they didn’t mention. i suppose to get a $ 10 game card for spending $ 25 in food and drinks.
