Gold Spike, has opened a new restaurant, Fiddlestix, just weeks after closing its cafe, The Grill.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
Gold Spike is geared to a young clientele, but the name of its new restaurant goes way back. “Fiddlestick,” referring to a violin bow, goes back to the 15th century.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gold Spike is a block off Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. The former dive (sorry, boutique hotel-casino) was overhauled back in 2014 and is owned and operated by Downtown Project.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
Insider tip: Here’s how to get a free soda at Fiddlestix. Good luck with that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While there’s no longer gambling at Gold Spike, it’s become a popular downtown hangout, and an absolute smash as a Millennial destination on the weekends.<\/p>\n

It’s part 86-room hotel, part bar and part college commons, complete with social games and some of the sweetest Wi-Fi in the city.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
The counter seating at Fiddlestix has terminals so guests can fiddle around on the Internet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gold Spike also played host to the 31st season of “Real World.” Long story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The restaurant refresh includes a revamped menu.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
Keeping it simple for the kids.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a better look at the menu that features light appetizers, breakfast, salads, burgers and panini. Fiddlestix also has a decent selection of pastries.<\/p>\n

Guests can also build their own parfait or acai bowl ($9), whatever that might actually be.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
The Tuna Melter has Albacore tuna, provolone cheese, pickle relish and tartar sauce ($10).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prices are a tad higher than we’d like (burgers are $11-12), especially for downtown.<\/p>\n

There’s a Kids Menu for $5, with pancakes, tenders and grilled cheese, among other tot-friendly fare.<\/p>\n

We tried the margherita flatbread, and it was disappointing. It’s probably best to think of Fiddlestix as being in a soft opening mode.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
With so many great pizzas and flatbreads downtown, this one just can’t compete.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One thing Fiddlestix has absolutely nailed is its Boozy Milkshakes.<\/p>\n

There are six to choose from ($10-11), including our obvious favorite, the Oh Captain, My Captain. It’s a delicious combination of Captain Morgan spiced rum, Cap’n Crunch cereal, vanilla ice cream and caramel. The menu also says it has choco sprinkles and a cherry, but those didn’t turn up in the milkshake we got. (We should also mention it took 15-20 minutes to get it.) No matter, still spectacular.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
The winning Oh Captain, My Captain spiked shake at Gold Spikeis worth the wait.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here are the other Boozy Milkshake options. They make a stop at Fiddlestix
\nwell worth the trip.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
We’re not even going to pretend we’ll be trying the other flavors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our only real gripe with Fiddlestix is its tagline, “Pick-up Something Good.” See, while the restaurant may serve as a “pick-up” location, you “pick up” (a phrasal verb) good things, you don’t “pick-up” good things.<\/p>\n

Then again, three spiked shakes in, and you won’t particularly care.<\/p>\n

\"Fiddlestix
Not a huge change from when it was The Grill, but we think any amount of new is fire, as the kids say.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“What are the Fiddlestix hours of operation at Gold Spike?” you may ask. Fiddlestix is open 24\/7. From 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. each day, Fiddlestix has build-your-own yogurt parfaits and acai bowls. Saturdays and Sundays, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., a specialty brunch menu is available.<\/p>\n
