I heard of this when I was a kid… always wanted to go, but never made it out… was still a poor university student by the time it shut down.
The real stinger is that in 2014 my parents moved to Vegas, so I’m out that way all the time now… but a bit too late to experience it.
Went there shortly before it closed. The bar was great, except there was this guy called Morn who wouldn’t shut up.
I went in March 1998 right after getting married in Vegas! I remember it being really good. Quark’s served a cocktail for two called the Warp Core Breach that was the size of a fishbowl, got me and my new wife wasted. We may have had more than one. Still married 28 years later!
That’s an awesome memory, and congrats on 28 years!
It was brilliant. They had these over priced, watered down multi liquor drinks called a Warp Core Breech which was alcohol served in a fish bowl with dry ice and long straws. We used to go all the time. It was a blast.
They had a whole museum of props, plus a recreation of entire sets for the experience. It was incredible.
You could get married on the bridge of the Enterprise D! By a Starfleet Officer (generic in dress whites) or an alien (Ferengi, Klingon). The cast members were all union SAG/AFTRA members.
Quarks was incredibly overpriced and simultaneously totally worth it.
Quark’s being overpriced is just canonical.
I felt similarly after discovering there was a cryptid museum down the way here… until a few months ago. 😱😭🤦🏼♂️
Hmm, a cryptid museum that the locals will tell stories about but can no longer be found. That seems fitting.
Oh! You’re so right! It’s just a puzzle to stump the less tenacious cryptid-curious! Thanks, internet stranger for the clue! 🤘🏻
Now imagine moving to Las Vegas less than a month after it closed.
Yeah.
In a suburb north of my city there was this restaurant called star voyager that tried to have a star trek like aesthetic without getting close enough to get sued. Had a lot of actual nasa stuff do in the waiting area. Honestly it was just restaurant tables with office chairs, wait people dressed kinda uniformy, and space themed menu names. It was not expensive though and kinda a fun idea.
