Atomic Bootlegger Lounge

Like it for the William Hill, cute little bar redone
Bar staff is very friendly don’t go in smelling nice because like any Casino you’ll smell of cigarettes going out. Lots of places to watch the games and you can have food delivered from the diner, good for locals

A first for Sparks… truly craft cocktails. No mixes; just fresh ingredients created by outstanding bartenders… all from an awesome trucker-​themed menu.
And where is this hidden gem? Inside one of the most surprising of locations… Sierra Sid’s Casino (and truck stop) off Exit 19.
If you haven’t been to Atomic Bootlegger Lounge, you’re missing a northern Nevada classic. Get it on your bucket list of things to check-​out; including the incredible gun collection.
Stop in and try one of their trucker-​themed craft cocktails next time you’re near Exit 19.
You’ll be surprised enough to come back for more!

I haven’t been more embarrassed in 10 years. I guess I should say, «If you are the best meth addict.» or «you don’t give a S**t about customer service then this might be your kinda place. I lost money in their bar slot while being ignored and then was still charged for my beer!

Great spot… I hit this place for gas sometimes cuase it’s right next to the freeway… Then I noticed the Lounge. i like the look and the chill vibe of this place once you’re inside. Good beer selection. A bunch of different whiskeys… and it’s ²⁴⁄₇ !
You can also order food from the restaurant, altho I have not had it. It seem’s like the average diner.
I liked chillin in the leather chair watch tv with quality beer in a mellow spot.
They have real nice pool tables… And I like the name of it too.

Love this place! If you want to relax, shoot some pool, have a good drink & a bite to eat this is definitely the place to be! I know I can always come here for a good time!

Not to be confused with the Atomic Bootlickers, the 55% of Scottish voters who apparently didn’t mind being ruled by a riotous crowd of elitist, pale, classist, racist, over-​lording, miasmic, dentally-​challenged Englishmen. This casino bar almost takes up a quarter of the entire Sierra Sids casino, abstruse trucker pit stop on the corner of McCarran and Lot Lizard. Don’t get me wrong, one of my best friends in the world is a trucker, and FYI he drives a tractor and hauls a trailer. It’s not a truck. It’s like boot camp, where you teach you that the M-​16 is not a gun but a gas-​operated, magazine-​fed, air-​cooled, selective fire, automatic rifle. Get it right folks.
Anyhow, they have two regulation size pool tables with net pockets and plenty of cancerous carcinogens successfully bypassing their ineffectual air filtration system. It is completely open to the casino to remind you that you are in fact in a casino. They have several cocktail specials, including a Moonbeam, which I would assume is an homage to dope-​smoking, hippie governor of California, who — many fail to recognize and appreciate — disbanded the unelected mafia of redevelopment agencies throughout California which stole from the poor and gave to the rich in land-​grabbing schemes reminiscent of the Manifest Destiny which drove Native Americans into tiny desert-​parceled reservations out west and in particular between Reno and Sparks affording them the opportunity to pull themselves out of poverty through selling untaxed cigarettes and purveying casino operations by which they were allowed to do to average Americans what the federal government has been doing to them for centuries.
I would applaud the bartender for his subtle use of St Germaine elderflower which is notoriously abused by naïve bartenders.

Wow. Total surprise on how quality this place was. I was here for a special event ran by the USBG.
The bar itself has a handful of low and bar height tables. Everything is of course recently upgraded and very nice looking. The bar itself is the only jewel on this property right now. The rest is still just a truck stop. But don’t let that deter you from going in and experiencing a nicely designed bar.
If you like to gamble while you drink they have bartops. They even have a lower slung one for those who cant sit high. Pretty nice touch!
The bartenders aren’t craft cocktail tenders, but they do know how to sling properly. I will come back. I just need a good excuse!

Diamond in the rough! It’s a great bar, excellent cocktails, amazing bartenders! Check it out!

To each their own. You choose the atmosphere you want to be in. Its always fun to try new spots for cocktails but this place is not what I had imagined, even knowing it is in a dirty seedy truck stop. I had high hopes. Don’t get me wrong, I love my dive bars! This for me is beyond that, as when I left I wanted to take a bleach shower. While sitting at this bar you get to watch people come down the hallway from taking showers-​just not what I want to see. So why the one star, well here I go. I asked for a house chardonnay. The bartender walked over where all the liquor bottles are and poured from a bottle that was sitting out, on the side. Chardonnay should be kept in the cooler and I said that. He says it was the first time he ever poured wine (ok?) and I said that the wine was most likely bad. So I smelled it, almost puked and had him smell it. He agreed, opens a new bottle, this one was actually stored in the cooler, and I get my drink. Rather than pouring out the bad wine, he placed it back next to the liquor on the counter for the next bartender to pour. I was industry for 8 years so I really try hard to be objective as I have been there, BUT between witnessing this and the atmosphere that’s not to my liking I wont be back :(

Looking for an amazing neighborhood, industry friendly spot? Look no further. Check it out… It’s more than just a truck stop and definitely exceeds expectation!
Great whiskey selection, craft beer and fun cocktails all at astoundingly affordable prices. The atmosphere is fun and inviting with a super cool back bar. You can place sports bets with William Hill, grab some food, gamble and have a good time. It’s an awesome place to watch football.
The bartenders are funny and engaging. Smiles all around. It’s not very busy yet, but I can definitely see it building in the future.
