Taco Dive Bar, Las Vegas’ first all-vegan bar with gaming and live entertainment, opens near the Strip—serving bold cocktails and vibrant vegan street fare.
In a city built on indulgence, Las Vegas just found a way to make it plant-based. Meet Taco Dive Bar, the city’s first all-vegan bar with gaming and live entertainment, now open at 4080 Paradise Road—just minutes from the Strip and a quick Lyft from the Bellagio.
If you thought “vegan” meant boring salads and wheatgrass shots, think again. Taco Dive Bar flips the script with vibrant Mexican-inspired street food, over-the-top cocktails, and a late-night vibe that’s more goth-glam than granola. For Vegas’ fun-loving, flavor-obsessed crowd, this is a welcome twist: edgy, energetic, and unapologetically different.

From Modern Vegan to Modern Mayhem
Taco Dive Bar is the latest creation from Gia and Todd Schultz, the powerhouse couple behind The Modern Vegan, one of Las Vegas’ most beloved plant-based eateries. This new venture, which opened April 3, blends their signature bold flavors with the kind of nightlife energy only Vegas can deliver.
Before Taco Dive Bar, the city briefly had Bar Boulevard, a short-lived vegan concept from 2018. But this one’s here to stay. With its gaming area, live stage, and late-night hours, Taco Dive Bar isn’t just another restaurant — it’s a destination for locals and tourists craving cruelty-free indulgence with a side of attitude.
A Gothic Paradise: Chandeliers, Street Art & Sound
Step inside, and you’ll quickly realize this isn’t your average taco joint. The bar’s gothic-inspired décor sets a moody, electric tone — crystal chandeliers dangle above, while the walls burst with bold works from local street artists in the ISI Group, including Bo Wiltse, Black Sheep One, and Brett Rosepiler.
The result? A vibe that feels part rock concert, part speakeasy, part art gallery.
And yes, there’s a stage — because no self-respecting Vegas bar skips the entertainment. The owners kept the venue’s live setup to host Vegas Punx Night with local DJ Morpheus Black, along with regular live performances and themed events. That makes Taco Dive Bar the only vegan venue in Las Vegas with ongoing live entertainment — a claim as bold as its cocktails.
Flavor Takes the Spotlight
Let’s talk food — because this isn’t a vibe-only situation. The menu is a colorful celebration of Mexican-inspired vegan street fare that’s equal parts Instagram-worthy and soul-satisfying. Think loaded tacos piled high with plant-based proteins, tangy salsas, and sauces that kick harder than a Vegas hangover.
Pair that with one of their “over-the-top” cocktails, and you’ve got the recipe for the city’s newest go-to night out. From smoky mezcal mixes to fruit-forward tequila creations, every drink is crafted for flavor and flair — and yes, the bar staff encourages photos before the first sip.
The bar runs daily from 4 p.m. to midnight, making it the perfect pre-show stop before heading to the Las Vegas Sphere or a late-night bite after a set at Resorts World.
