Review from Kollin S.
Updated - 5/11/2012 1 Check-in Here
I'll support any quality metal band that travels over 6,150 miles into the hot desert, so last night I came here again just for that. This time around it was Romania's Negura Bunget.
Every year there tends to be more shows around May, June and July. You can thank the huge music fests that are coming up within the next couple months, i.e. Maryland Deathfest, Central Illinois Deathfest, Chaos en Tejas, etc. A lot of the bands are actually from overseas and don't tour the states that often. So if you can't make it to one of these festivals, you still have a chance to see some bands that take advantage of being state side and tour.
On a side note, some more bands touring as of right now: Nasum (Sweden), The Devil's Blood (Sweden), Demonical (Sweden), Church of Misery (Japan) and Horna (Finland) to name a few.
The place was the busiest I've ever seen it. There was only 1 bartender working so the wait for drinks was longer than usual. I seen about 10 different kinds of beer on tap. Domestic pitchers were $12 and $16 for imports.
I had a good time largely due to friends and the live music. Negura performance was on point. A Black Metal band with traditional Romanian folk instruments would be my brief description. Being in the position to see them again within a few weeks in Maryland is definitely a plus.Listed in: Music Venues for Me

Nothing to complain about. Went down for a comedy show on Sunday, I think they do it every Sunday...if they do, YOU NEED TO CHECK IT OUT. Booya and his crew are the business. Only $2 enterance fee. Bartender was really cool...what was her name...
Game of pool? Totally in. You'll probably lose your dollar the first try, but the bartender will definitely toss you a bill to replace it.
Also, they've got a new school Juke Box. Righteous!! -

Came here for New Years Eve and the burlesque show. It was a really great time. This place is a total dive bar, but I like my bars divey. The burlesque show was very good, very funny and the room is small enough where most seats are good seats.
This has been mentioned in other reviews, but the Boom Boom Room (where the burlesque show is) is quite small. So get there early unless you want to sit in the back.
The crowd was lively and fun. I had no problems with the service either, everyone was really great. There isnt much around here though, I don't live in Vegas, so I couldn't tell you whats even close. Its like a totally random business area.
I wish they had the show more then once a month tho! :( -

Hellz, yeah, Boomers!
Who doesn't like boobies?? You can't find that person. I challenge you!
Live Burlesque has their monthly show here and it is fantastic! I like that you can reserve a booth so you can feel like a big shot Rat Pack member whilst watching the sparkly ladies take off their unmentionables!
Drinks are totally reasonable. Not over-priced like you'll find on the strip!
Come to the Halloween show! Yours truly will be performing along with a stellar cast. A good time will be had, for certain! -

It's kind of a sketchy looking place when you walk in. Few pool tables and some neon beer signs. The sort of place where you would expect Patrick Swayze to walk in and start beating people over the head with que sticks.
The bar girls are very friendly and the man cans of Pabst are only $3.50 (Booya!).
The stage area in the back feels more like a class room but that's cool. Once in while they bring in some decent comedy.
And my personal favorite from my last visit was the creepy dude in the corner with a briefcase. Yeah a real briefcase. Seriously, what's in there? Scarface phone? A bunch of coke? Briefs? The curiosity was killing me but I couldn't muster up the strength to actually find out. Maybe next time, guess I'll have to go back. -

I will go for Las Vegas Burlesque Live! Otherwise, getting a drink from that lame chick, Marie, is like delivering bad news to someone who's cat just got ran over. What really pisses me off, is the last time I was there, I asked for a cup of water. It was loud due to the live band playing. She brought me a bottle. I politely told her a cup would be fine. The look that bitch gave me...I wanted to slap it right off of her face. First of all, it's your f'n job. Second, I have worked in this biz for over 15 years and I appreciate an upsale. The bar was busy, so it really wasn't necessary. Third, Don't assume a bottle is what I wanted. And then get pissed because I didn't want it after we just bought 5 drinks. You are lame and I will tell everyone I know about you. The owner is super friendly and gets it. She knows what she is there for. I think Marie needs a hug. Even so, it probably wouldn't change her rotten attitude. A few months back, before leaving, I came up and left a tip for the night. It was pretty big. Do you think I got any love? So I haven't left a tip since and she just reinforces my decision. Yay for Cha Cha's Burlesque shows! Boo for the bitter bartender. I'll just wait and go somewhere else where I get treated better. Thanks! But NO THANKS! Lame.

Typical divebar. Punk rock crowd. It's located in an industrial park area of town.
Not the best location. Looks to have recent addition of backroom. Backroom has no character. Feels like a hotel ballroom. Come on guys.... Invest in some stage lighting. Overall..... Don't expect much. Nonsmokers need not enter. -

So this is a big follow-up since my last visit here. Since my last, I believe Roxie, who booked Boomers shows has moved on to Country Saloon, I'm not sure who replaced her.
There was a burlesque night, it was kind of a shakedown night. If there was a following, it would repeat, hopefully monthly. The sad thing about these regular events is that by the time people grow to count on it, management decides the numbers aren't growing and then replace it with something lame causing all the locals to search yet again for another cool burlesque night. The irony is if a place has burlesque every night, people will get sick of it, yet if it's at a different club every night of the week, people drive out to each place in numbers and can't get enough of the variety of venues. Remember Tues swing night at Beauty Bar? Sunday night rockabilly/ old school night at Gold Mine in Hendo on Sunday nights? I could go on ad naseum.
This was a very special Christmas episode of the Max show because 1) most of my friends that I love were here that night, with some bonuses as you'll read, 2) my g/f performed and it would be the last show of hers I'll get to see for some time and 3) it was probably the last show I'd get to see in Vegas, also indefinitely.
Even before the show, Jon D'ark pumped his accordion that blew me away just because I never saw one with an amp built in. And Resa joined him, an very energetic belly dancer. I got to meet her at a burly Q night at Daddy Mac's (another upcoming review). This was on a front stage most of the rocker bands played at for the bar patrons up front.
The bar didn't seem to be busy, which was an optical illusion somehow. Everyone filled the bar seats and most of the tables were filled. Some people were standing. But it didn't seem packed for some reason, until people went into the back "banquet" room where the show was and it was PACKED and with more seats. Chairs were even brought in to seat everyone.
Boomers has an interesting back room. It's painted white and has some chandeliers and fancy lighting, some plants around if I remember correctly. They had a bar setup that they didn't use, big mistake! If they had someone just slinging cans and bottles of beer out of tubs, they would have made more money. They had one bartender, but it appeared as though someone else came in and there were 2 in shift change(?) for the remainder of the time we were there. If you hang out in the front room, you'd expect the back room to be painted black like other venues. The white envi added some contrast to the bar, or gave it a circa "80's era white fern bar/" "Tony & Tina wedding reception hall" feel to it.
The show was a who's who of my favorite local's scene. Should I even try? Of course I'll leave someone out, who would get offended. So write a note or something, boom, instant personal promotion! The stage was very accommodating to the performers. They even had a dance floor. There were the performers, most of which I knew and loved. There was a contortionist Charlamay, comedienne/ host Madam Tutu of Bad Attitude corsets store, comedienne singer, Leda Las Vegas & stage kitten Michelle. There was the show DJ, Maybelline, who used her 45's and who I mentioned in my previous review; After the show, she managed to turn the room into a dance party, where the remote bar would have kept more people in there as they jived and swung. Let me cover my ass by saying there were burlesque performers including (I don't want to forget anyone, but may): Lou Lou Roxy, feather dancer; Karla Joy, rockin crossover as Godzilla the building smasher; Cha Cha Velour, who organized the talent for the night; And Vi Vacious, who often performs metal and industrial crossovers, well!
There were also a lot of friends I knew there, one visiting from Southern California, sweet! And another to reveal herself later, someone who I wanted to talk to more. She was my former and only other g/f I had in Vegas, now married with kid. Would have been nice to catch up. But that's what bars like Boomers do, bring all kinds of people together. You don't know who you're going to bump into, but I'm happy to find friends and new friends at these small bars. It's one of the things I'll miss most about Vegas.
Afterwards, the crowd dispersed a little faster than I would have wanted. I sat at the bar finishing my drink (my 3rd satisfactorily low priced tall boy PBR), my mind was in a state back to when I was little and watching the X-mas parade in the park, downtown in San Jose. That hour after was the toughest. All the parade floats were gone with Santa.
Couldn't we just go around one more time, everyone?Listed in: Nightlife, Man's Day
