Evel Pie Happy Hour. Downtown

Evel Pie is a downtown pizza-and-beer bar for people who want cheap drinks, a real slice, and zero pretense. It fits a Fremont Street group between bars, service-industry folks off shift, and anyone who wandered off the main drag looking for an actual bar instead of a themed experience.

Happy hour runs every single day, 2 to 6pm, a wide four-hour stretch with no weekday catch. Beer is the headline at $3 drafts, and well cocktails go for $4 if you want something stiffer. The smart move is the $5 slice and PBR combo, a slice plus a beer for one easy price, or the $20 pitcher and a pie if you've got a group to feed and water.

The place leans into its Evel Knievel theme with memorabilia on the walls and a punk and metal soundtrack instead of top-40. The pizza is legit New York style, thin crust with proper char and slices bigger than your hand. Seating is limited and it packs in late, since the kitchen runs to 2am on weeknights and 4am Friday and Saturday.

Go on the early side, around 4 to 6pm, if you want a seat. It's a block off Fremont on the east end, walkable from the main strip of bars. This is a slice-and-a-beer operation, not a cocktail lounge, so come hungry and keep your expectations pointed at the pizza.
