A: While visiting from California we went to a few bars downtown and were pleased with all except ACME. This was the absolute worst bar I have EVER been to. It took forever to get a drink from the tool of a bartender. Then some nasty chick with STD's written all over her was dancing on the bar next to our $5 bottled beers. My boyfriend and I decided to walk upstairs to get away from it all only to be stopped by what assumed to be a bouncer, whom was sitting on a couch. He told us females only upstairs though we saw males up there. Later to be told by the bartender "you have to have a vagina or act like you have a vagina". We left after one beer and went to Saddleranch where we had an absolute blast.

Q: negative

A: Items Selected: District One Kitchen & Bar Tamarind Chicken Wings Green Papaya Salad - Shrimp, Pork, Mint, Crushed Roasted Peanut Fish Tacos - Yellowtail, Avocado, Cilantro, Cherry Tomato Oxtail Pho The Big Bone Soup - Bone and Marrow Soup Slow Braised Pork Belly in Young Coconut Juice - Boiled Egg, Steamed Jasmine Rice 1lb Shrimp D1 Goodness, Medium Heat Occupying the former home of Cravin' Cajun and serving up modern Vietnamese cuisine in a room one part hipster-industrial and one part sports bar it was with a group of five that I sat down at District One Kitchen & Bar just minutes after noon and focusing our order on variety the results proved 'variable' at best. Clearly untrained and understaffed to handle a restaurant nearly 3/4 full by 12:30 it was with a trio of appetizers that our meal began and with beverage refills scarce as servers ran in circles perhaps it was fortuitous that none of the first round proved remotely spicy, the hamachi tacos bright and crisp at $3 each while dull, limp wings and the vinegar tinged salad proved entirely forgettable...and not particularly 'Vietnamese' at all. Moving next to larger scale items, a duo of pho dishes would prove respectable if not particularly well presented; the supple oxtail imbuing long rice noodles with a meaty sapor while an enormous proximal femur laced its broth with fat to balance ample scallions, though heat remained mute even in the presence of sliced jalapenos. Moving finally to the items that showed the kitchen's promise, suffice it to say that tender pork belly first braised then rendered soft in coconut milk proved by far the most complex option of the afternoon despite its unexpected sweetness and although a seemingly odd choice, the throwback 'get down n' dirty' shrimp finally delivered in the spice department, a pound of the snappy shell-ons again leaving my water-glass empty while wondering why we hadn't just gone to Crab Corner or Hot n' Juicy instead.

Q: positive

A: Weird decorations in the place but the pizzas are pretty decent. I don't know what they put in the dough but I noticed that the crust is kind of sweet tasting. The suggested pizzas having interesting names and unique combinations of toppings but surprisingly they work! Really wish they'd deliver!

Q: positive

A:
I really only came here when it was time for music and dancing. So I don't have an opinion on the food or dining service. I liked it better on Tuesday than Friday. Friday night it looked like a cheap club and it was disappointing. But on Tuesday, it still had the music, the dancing, and the drinking without the cheap feeling. I had a platinum margarita, which I expected to be white and it was green. It was delicious. I had several other drinks I can't recall anymore... :). If I ever come back to Vegas I know I will come here again.
