Tailgate Social, a sports bar known for its focus on food and ambiance, will be closing at Palace Station after August 31. The venue, which began operations in November 2020, will be replaced by Master Kim’s Korean BBQ. This new restaurant, owned by Freddy Hwang, is scheduled to open in spring 2026, adding to his portfolio of establishments across Las Vegas.
Master Kim’s Korean BBQ will offer a unique dining experience with 30 tabletop grills and seating for over 100 guests. The menu will include a variety of proteins such as USDA Prime brisket, marinated short rib, pork belly, spicy chicken, and seafood. Diners can also enjoy traditional banchan, Korean-style sauces, and rice or noodle dishes. The restaurant will provide two all-you-can-eat options alongside an à la carte menu.
This change is part of a broader culinary update at Palace Station, which has also introduced other popular local restaurants like China Mama and Lindo Michoacan. The transition aims to continue offering diverse and flavorful dining options to both locals and visitors. Meanwhile, Clique Hospitality, the operator of Tailgate Social, will work to reassign its team members to other venues, with support from Station Casinos recruiters to find new opportunities within the company.
