10/10 Must try the delicious Seafood Pan Roast. I went back and had it 3 nights in a row. Friendly staff. Clean dining area with a view of the river. We also had the cheese bread, pizza, calamari it as all very tasty.

We come here pretty often and it’s always really good. Last night was no different. Our server was Chloe, who has waited on us a couple of times in the past. It was really busy and she was very attentive! We got seated quickly and Chloe was all over it! Drinks and food order was on point and it came out quick! She checked in us multiple times to make sure we didn’t need anything else and that our drinks were never empty. I didn’t realize Halloween was going to be so busy, but this girl knocked it out of the park! Awesome job again Cove, and don’t lose this girl, she’s the best!!

This is a classy lounge, with a scenic view of the river. A good place to meet people. They have bar sitting, table sitting, or go down stairs to the couch sitting. This place is good to grabs drinks, some appetizers to snack on while you chat it up with your friends. I would definitely take a date here. Drinks look really fancy, and taste even better. I paid more for drinks of a lesser quality other places. This place will not break the bank. I enjoy the raspberry lemon drop, and the Calamari.

I’ve been to the Cove many times before. This time, my wife and I got happy hour wings and fish tacos. The food was decent, not great. Ricardo, the server, was very nice and pretty prompt.
The view is great, looking right over the river.

Great place to grab a bite to eat inside the Aquarius Hotel. We had just come in from swimming/pool so it was close and readily available. Bill, our server was great and attentive. The burgers was tasty and I love that tater tots were an option rather than fries. If you can, save room for dessert, or box it up and take it to your room for later. The chocolate cake is completely decadent, but oh so worth it. Overall, nice place to grab a bite to eat, unless your sitting by the window, not much to look at.

Updating our original rating. Things have changed at this formerly great non-smoking bar, which used to have a friendly, hospitable atmosphere.
The evening of our most recent visit, the bar and dining area were completely empty. We started to play video poker, bartender told us complementary drinks require $10. minimum. So, no problem- put in a $20. in the video poker machine, provided an appropriate gratuity, and enjoyed the drink (served in a real glass! Nice!). My spouse was drinking water. Later, put in another $20. and waited to be asked about a refill. Never happened.
For the next 15 minutes, watched as our bartender did everything but make eye contact with us. No small talk, no recognition, no nuttin’
This isn’t the first time with this experience at The Cove. Wondered if it was the betting ‘level,’ gratuity amount, number of drinks per hour?
With the bar being completely empty, it is apparent he was avoiding contact with us, probably in order to avoid providing a second cocktail.
Perhaps it is the direction from management, maybe the bartenders aren’t happy with their work environment, or customers, or…?
Also, will add that after spending an hour or so with 3 machines, we agree the video poker machines now have become very, very ‘tight.’
All we know is, in the past we’ve driven to Laughlin from Las Vegas to enjoy this nice spot in the river, but lately there are other hotel / casinos with bars which have a much better atmosphere than ‘The Cove.’

Non smoking, views of the Colorado River from either the bar or the lounge area next to the bar. Bartenders and their ‘back ups’ are consistently friendly and responsive. Our favorite Bartender at The Cove is Chad. The food menu is limited but with good selections.
Both the bar area and lower lounge area have tables and tables for either couples or groups. The waitresses and waiters are responsive and food is served in a reasonable amount of time, of course depending on numbers of guests and how busy they are.
Chad is a long-time Bartender at the Aquarius and is quite talented in preparing specialty drinks. Our favorite is a ‘Mudslide,’ complete with chocolate designs in the inside of the glass.
The video poker machines can run ‘hot and cold,’ but on more than one occasion we’ve watched or experienced some pretty good payouts at this bar. Note that The Cove Bar & Lounge closes at 9:00 PM weekdays, but may stay open a bit longer if there are customers who arrive near closing time.

03/22/25: Let’s start with my alcohol beverages 40 minutes later and I had to remind Tommy our server. Then told our drinks would be on the house ok ! Then our food came out 3 minutes after our drinks by then we were kinda full of ice water, our calamari had an aoli that was drenched in it was soggy it was no longer crispy and I could not taste the calamari. Our ribs with pasta was warm and our Caesar salad was also swimming in Caesar dressing . Thank goodness for the live entertainment. The gentleman playing was great. This is our second time here and was very disappointed when our bill cameour 2 drinks were on our bill . I paid full bill plus tip all cash. This will be the last I visit and stay at Aquarius it’s spring break and this restaurant is under staffed two servers and one bartender for a busy bar and weekend. To the chefs in the back . Work on your timing and presentation with your food. FOH and BOH needs proper staffing.

The food is very inconsistent! We literally had the best fish tacos of our entire lives last fall, to the point that I told my husband I wanted to dine at The Cove on both Thursday and Friday nights of our current trip to Laughlin. The fish tacos were incredibly undercooked Thursday night! I can’t remember ever sending my food back before that meal. The second round of fish tacos were not much better than the first, and were unbelievably greasy. On Friday night, the fish tacos were half the size as the night before. My husband and I both had digestive issues following our meals at The Cove. The entertainment and atmosphere makes this venue worth visiting, but more consistency and higher standards need to be placed on the food. With so many food options in Laughlin, The Cove was very disappointing.
