Petrossian Bar is the gastronomic and lounge lounge companion to Bellagio’s famed restaurant, situated near Bellagio’s lobby and casino floor. At first glance, it may appear as another upscale hotel bar, but the details reveal its dual identity: part lounge, part tea room, part caviar house, and part cocktail den. The bar is often lined with velvet seating, low lighting, a grand piano (played live), and polished service that leans toward old-world hospitality. The menu pivots around two axes: caviar / smoked fish / fine foods and cocktails & spirits. It’s not just about drinks — patrons regularly order caviar service, smoked salmon, and food items crafted to pair with bubbles, vodka flights, or bespoke cocktails. In the afternoon, Petrossian offers a traditional Afternoon Tea / tea-sandwich / pastry service (especially Friday to Sunday) — a refined counterpoint to its night persona. By night, the space becomes more bar-like, with guests lingering over drinks, snacks, and piano accompaniment. Because the bar sits adjacent to the Bellagio lobby, you get interesting vantage points — views of fountain-goers, hotel passers, and the lobby’s Chihuly glass ceiling overhead. Despite being in a busy milieu, the ambiance inside aims for sophistication and calm, inviting lingering. Over time, the cocktail program has been refreshed — more barrel-aged drinks, stronger emphasis on presentation (diamond ice, new house signatures) — making Petrossian more than “just a fancy caviar bar.”
