Totally Tubular 80’s Cafe In Las Vegas Is A Must Visit

Author Carla Rea

80’s lovers, this place is for you – the Back to the 80’s Café and More in Las Vegas.

Who doesn’t love themed restaurants, and places that immerse you in a particular place, or time?

Las Vegas is known for themed establishments. Since the beginning of Las Vegas time people have been going to the El Rancho, The Sahara, Excalibur, Luxor, New York-New York – we’ve got em’ all! And most of us have been to at least one cool 50s café, but other decades don’t seem to get quite as much love.

 

Back to the 80’s Café and More will transport you:

If you grew up in the 80s, or just find that decade most epic, you have to visit this totally tubular 80s-themed restaurant in Las Vegas. You will be instantly transported back several decades when you walk into the hella cool Back to the 80s Cafe and More.   

The tables look like they were ripped out of a “Saved By The Bell” episode, and if you time it right, you might have your burger served up to you by Marty McFly! That’s right – even your favorite 80’s icons work there!

Tons of 80s movie posters line the walls, there are tons of board games in the corner, and also a couple of old-school arcade games in the dining room. Ms. Pacman, anyone? It’s definitely an 80s time warp. And the Back to the 80’s Cafe and More pays homage to the 80’s great, like Bon Jovi, Freddy Krueger, Star Wars, Prince, the Rubik’s Cube – and black lights, baby!

 

A totally 80’s menu:

The menu? Try a Doc Brown Burger, or a Paul Reuben, or a Culture Club Sandwich. If you’re vegetarian or vegan there’s the Big Kid Grilled Cheese, The Gremlin (garden) Burger, or meatless boneless wings. It’s a totally rad menu.

Your kids might not appreciate all of the 80s memorabilia, but you will love it! It’s one of most totally awesome 80s restaurants ever – DUH!

Whether you live in Las Vegas or are planning a visit, you will go back in time when you enter the Back to the 80’s Café and More, at 4755 S Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas.

Go for it, dude, because it IS a big whoop!

8 Birthday Songs From The 1980s

Whether you were watching “I Want My” on MTV or inhaling the fumes from the Aqua Net you were spraying on your bangs… The 1980s were a time to be alive.

The era was truly unique in music with the rise of electronic dance and modern rock. New instruments were being used, pushing the status quo of what “traditional” songs sounded like. Bands started to record LIVE together and technology was advancing. An artist’s image became vastly popular with the release of music videos… (Video seriously did kill the radio star). Artists were skyrocketing to fame with catchy visuals that often aired on the popular MTV. Fashion was extreme with neon vibrant colors and patterns of all styles. The 1980s opened a can of worms pushing boundaries and nothing was off-limits.

Today’s kids are so lucky they don’t have to rewind a cassette tape every time they want to hear their favorite song… (Anyone have a pencil?) Talk about the worst!

Today we celebrate YOU on your birthday with music from the ’80s that made us move. Grab your scrunchies, your jelly shoes and your hyper tee, and get ready to party like it’s 1999!

Happy Birthday to you! Take a trip down memory lane and jam out with us.
