Top Bars in Las Vegas – Most Viewed (2025)

Ski Lodge is the kind of place that makes you forget you’re in the desert. Hidden inside Superfrico at The Cosmopolitan, this cabin-styled cocktail bar is built to feel like a high-altitude retreat—think crackling fires, a hypnotic snowfall through picture windows, warm woods and alpine charm merged with Las Vegas glam. It’s immersive, playful, cozy and yet, unmistakably part of the Strip’s spectacle. The drinks menu is crafted with both imagination and precision. Led by Superfrico’s beverage team, you can expect elevated takes on classics, along with originals inspired by winter’s flavor palette. Cocktails are paired with its signature food—especially the frico-crusted square pizzas that fuse tradition with high style—plus toasted s’mores, which are almost a rite of passage here. The ambiance treads the line between secret-club exclusivity and welcoming lodge-house warmth. The décor, the lighting, the furniture all lean into the fantasy: couches, snug corners, fireplace glow, evergreen accents, wood graining, perhaps skis or lodge memorabilia, snowy views (or illusions of them). Ski Lodge is alive from afternoon into the late night, especially weekends. No reservations for small groups; large parties have separate arrangements. Music and atmosphere shift: daytime-/early evening patrons might lean more relaxed, cocktails in hand after shopping or touring; later nights bring more energy. It’s an experience for those who enjoy detail—the smell of toasted marshmallow, the sight of snowfall projection, the taste of something rich with texture and contrast. Whether you want a relaxed moment, an Instagram-worthy setting, or a cocktail that feels like a story, Ski Lodge delivers.

Atomic Liquors holds the distinction of being Las Vegas’s oldest freestanding bar, established in 1952 and boasting liquor license #00001. Originating as Virginia’s Café in 1945, the business transformed under Joe & Stella Sobchik into a bar where patrons once watched nuclear tests light up the desert sky from the rooftop. Frequented by legends like the Rat Pack, Barbra Streisand, Clint Eastwood, and more, it became a retreat from Strip glitz. After a 2012 renovation that lovingly restored the neon signage, original bar configuration, and even a floor safe filled with historic receipts, Atomic Liquors today preserves its retro charm while embracing the Downtown Project’s urban revival. Its interior—decorated with atomic-era memorabilia, vintage bar fixtures, and Geiger counters from the Nevada Test Site—creates a unique ambiance steeped in mid-century kitsch with a modern sensibility. The drink menu is a standout: cheekily named atomic cocktails like Hunter S. Mash and Atomic Mule, a rotating lineup of 500+ craft beers, classic cocktails, and more casual beer fare cater to every preference. The adjacent Atomic Kitchen serves comforting bites—burgers, wings, and fries—perfect for pairing with a cold brew . Open daily from noon (and until 2 AM or later on weekends), Atomic Liquors is a friendly, unpretentious gathering spot that blends dive-bar authenticity with historical gravitas. Whether you're a first-timer or a local, it’s a living slice of Vegas nostalgia and community spirit.

The Laundry Room is a hidden speakeasy-style cocktail bar discreetly located within Commonwealth on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. Formerly part of the adjacent El Cortez Hotel’s service area, it's now a highly exclusive venue accessed through a private door via 6th Street. With seating capped at just 22 guests and maximum 4 per party, entry is strictly by reservation only—either via text to 702‑701‑1466 or online through their official site, released two weeks in advance. There's a formal, subdued dress code and a no-photo policy to maintain its low-key mystique. Inside, the decor evokes a Prohibition-era living room: dim candlelight, vintage newspaper clippings pasted on walls, and occasional antique doors affixed to ceilings — a cinematic backdrop for sipping precision cocktails mixed one-on-one with you by a master bartender. Cocktails here are refined and bespoke. A tightly curated menu features signature drinks, premium whiskeys and ryes—but off-the-menu custom requests are encouraged based on your preferred flavors. Cocktails typically cost $18–$25, with personalized drinks in that range. Notably, a two-drink minimum per person and mandatory bottomless popcorn charge are enforced once inside. Reviews praise the care in mixology, the calm ambiance, and the exclusivity—though some visitors note rising prices and minor policy irritants like popcorn fees. All in, The Laundry Room is ideal for those seeking a tailored, immersive cocktail journey far from the usual Las Vegas chaos—think hush, mystique, and craftsmanship in every sip.

Located in Las Vegas’s Chinatown, The Golden Tiki transports guests into an “adult Disneyland” of Polynesian escapism, combining pirate mythos, animatronics, and lavish tiki décor. Conceived by Branden Powers and opened in 2015, the bar’s captivating narrative centers on Captain William Tobias Faulkner’s quest for the mythical Golden Tiki, brought to life through immersive design elements—fake shrunken celebrity heads, talking tikis, starry ceilings, and black velvet paintings telling the pirate saga. The space brims with hidden details: a skeleton that animates during shows, a waterfall of seashells, conch‑shell seating, and vaulted thatched huts over the bar—all crowned by eclectic touches like giraffe bones and Hunter S. Thompson’s dagger. With just a dozen tables inside, reservations are recommended, especially weekends. The cocktail lineup is a feast: elaborate flaming drinks, shareable fishbowls, and Instagram‑friendly pineapple floats. Classics like Mai Tai, Navy Grog, and Piranha Punch shine alongside inventive specials such as Rings of Saturn, Viking Tiki Negroni, Demon Seaman, and Dole Whip floats spiked with rum. Average cocktail price is around $17, with fishbowls and bespoke shareable cocktails higher. Open 24/7 (21+), it frequently features live music and DJ sets, offering a bold nightlife spectacle for locals and tourists alike . The Golden Tiki remains one of the most celebrated tiki bars in the U.S., earning praise from Forbes, Eater Vegas, Thrillist, Time Out, and Atlas Obscura.

Step inside The Lock and you enter a world that feels part escape room, part speakeasy, all intrigue. Tucked under Horseshoe Las Vegas, this bar lives behind The Cabinet of Curiosities. To get in, you first pass through the Cabinet Lounge—where oddities, curiosities, and ambient lighting set the stage. Then, via a “lock door,” you face a riddle or code challenge, and choose your entry: walk through a vault-door or crawl through a vault crawl-space. Every detail heightens the clandestine vibe. Inside, the lighting is dim, the music just loud enough. Furnishings lean vintage plush, leather, dark woods, old locks, vault dials and brass. The cocktail menu is immersive; each drink is crafted with theatrical flair, seasonal or themed ingredients, and a mindset of discovery. Mocktails and non-alcoholic options are also available. There’s a 2-drink minimum once inside the speakeasy. The staff act like gatekeepers of the experience—welcoming, but with ceremony. Reservations are recommended, especially for groups. The main speakeasy area seats up to 5 people per booking; for larger parties, there’s a VIP area for up to 11 with a reservation fee. Time in the speakeasy is limited (≈ 90 minutes) to keep the flow intimate. The Lock feels like theater, design, and cocktail craft all wrapped in one. It’s perfect for those wanting more than just a place to drink—something you can discover & remember.

Liquid Diet is the kind of bar you wander into almost by accident—and leave remembering. Hidden in an alley between Main and Commerce in Las Vegas’ Arts District, the entrance feels clandestine. Once you’re inside, the ambiance unfolds like a cross between an underground warehouse, a mixologist’s kitchen, and a slightly mysterious backyard gathering. The décor is rough-edged but thoughtful: exposed industrial steel, mismatched furniture, touches of art, plants, subtle lighting. The counter itself often feels like a lab bench, with bartenders pushing boundaries using house-made syrups, fresh juices, unusual bitters and infusions. There’s a sense of craft alchemy: every cocktail seems to get at something you haven’t quite tasted before but want more of. The menu rotates—expect unexpected pairings, fun shots with chasers, and cocktails that lean into texture and flavor rather than just spectacle. Popular standouts mentioned by locals include the Grapefruit Mezcal Negroni, Pico de Gallo Michelada, Horseradish shots with tomato water chasers, and dessert-like concoctions such as Pandan Key Lime. The bar doesn’t do a full kitchen, but food trucks sometimes show up; mostly your attention is on the drinks and the vibe. It’s lively without being flashy. Craft, curiosity, local folks, serious cocktail lovers, and people who like to explore. Nights are late (they open at 7pm and go till about 1am) Wednesday through Sunday. If there’s a crowd, there’s patience—good drinks often take time, and people come for the quality. Liquid Diet isn’t about showing off; it’s about savoring. It’s a place that rewards wandering off the beaten path.

Housed within a breathtaking, multi-level crystal installation, The Chandelier at The Cosmopolitan is more than a bar—it's a sensory playground where elegance meets energy. Designed by Rockwell Group, its centerpiece—a 65-foot, two-million-crystal chandelier—spans three distinct levels, each offering a curated experience. Bottom (Level 1): A vibrant ground-floor lounge, open 24/7, ideal for people-watching amid casino buzz and LED-lit glamour. Inside (Level 1.5): A refined cocktail lounge in the heart of the chandelier, open evenings until 2 AM—perfect for artisanal sips and mellow conversation. Top (Level 2): A more intimate, exclusive retreat with plush seating and elevated ambiance, open late into the night. Mixologists here are known for inventive, show-stopping cocktails—like the tequila-lime Verbena garnished with Szechuan flower, and playful creations such as “#FeltCute” and “Hotel California”. DJs rotate nightly, guiding the mood from lively to laid-back as you ascend the levels. Group experiences, from walk-ins to private-booking options for larger parties, add flexibility. Sit at the secret bar nestled within the chandelier installation—when open, it offers a magical, Instagrammable hideaway. Whether you're in for dazzling visuals, expertly crafted drinks, or a glamorous Vegas nightscape, The Chandelier delivers all with style and spectacle.

Tucked into the casino floor of The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort, Rosina feels like a sumptuous escape from the neon and clamor—an intimate cocktail hideaway dripping with Gatsby-era glamour. Imagine brass and black marble, mirrored walls, velvet banquettes in rich maroon, flowing curtains, faceted chandeliers, and lighting that dances off every reflective surface. The design takes inspiration from a fictional Sicilian socialite (“Rosina”) who loves couture, champagne, and living beautifully; her style infuses every detail—menu presentation, material choices, even the little luxuries like “cigarette-compact” menu holders. The drinks lean heavily into classics—no wild experimentations here, but the timeless favorites done exquisitely. You’ll find French 75s, Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, Mai Tais, Dark ’n’ Stormies, and more—each crafted with high-quality spirits, fresh seasonal ingredients, and careful technique. There’s also a “bubbly” category for those wanting something effervescent, plus a secret menu for those curious. Though Rosina is fairly small (seating about 65), it balances warmth and sophistication. Velvet booths for cozy conversations, high-top tables for casual meetups, a few VIP sections draped in privacy. The ambiance is romantic, the vibe calm but indulgent. Music selections—jazz, soul, R&B, with touches of reggae and blues—add to the mood without overpowering. It’s ideal for a pre-dinner drink, an elegant nightcap, or any moment you want to feel fancy without losing intimacy. Rosina doesn’t try to shout—it whispers opulence.

Hidden inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, Tipsy Robot claims the title of the world’s first land-based robotic bar. The centerpiece is a glittering ceiling of 150+ liquor bottles that feed two industrial KUKA arms. Guests build a drink on touchscreen kiosks (or choose a classic) and watch as the bots measure, shake and pour with millimetre precision—up to 120 cocktails an hour and in as little as 60 seconds. The arms even throw in a few dance moves before sliding each concoction down a conveyor to the pick-up bay. Launched in mid-2017, the venue spans roughly 2 400 sq ft and looks like a mash-up of nightclub and tech lab: LED panels flash drink stats, live-cam feeds broadcast the robots’ every swivel, and an Instagram photo booth waits nearby for that obligatory #futureofmixology snap. A small team of “Galactic Ambassadors”—human bartenders and hosts—are on hand to garnish serves, fix foamy malfunctions and keep the music pumping. Signature cocktails clock in around US $18-22, with souvenir tumblers or upgrades to premium spirits nudging the tab higher. Expect a smart-casual crowd of tourists, convention-goers and curious locals popping in between shopping runs or before shows. Hours generally run 10 am-11 pm (midnight on weekends), and because everything is counter-service, waits stay short even at peak times. Whether you’re a gadget geek, content creator or just thirsty for a novelty, Tipsy Robot delivers a one-of-a-kind drinking experience that’s pure Las Vegas spectacle.

Set discreetly off the Strip, Herbs & Rye delivers the perfect blend of old‑school elegance and modern flavor. Since opening in 2009, it has carved out a reputation as a not‑to‑miss speakeasy haven—famous for its historical cocktails and Richter‑scale steaks. Walk in from the glaring neon of Las Vegas and descend into rich reds, warm wood, and deep shadows. The bartenders—often in crisp vests and ties—slide era‑organized cocktails across the bar, each paired with a snippet of cocktail lore. It's like sipping on a liquid history lesson. Their menu? Think unapologetic comfort with flair. Start with indulgent bites like spicy mussels or truffle‑drizzled carpaccio before diving into mains: bone‑in pork chops, filet mignon, ribeye, or surf‑and‑turf, all cooked with precision and flair. And don't sleep on the flatbreads or the decadent pasta dishes—carbonara, lobster pappardelle, agnolotti—they line up beautifully beside the meats. What sets Herbs & Rye apart is how seamlessly it transitions from a cocktail destination into a late‑night steakhouse. Patrons arrive for one Old Fashioned and stay for the ribeye—sometimes until closing at 3 AM. Locals rave about the always‑running happy hour and the cozy, buzzy vibe. In short: it's a bar that respects cocktail history and a steakhouse that knows how to keep you coming back for one more drink…and another bite.

Situated in Las Vegas’s vibrant Arts District, The Velveteen Rabbit is a magnetic craft cocktail and beer bar that revels in creative audacity and cozy eccentricity. Tucked behind what appears to be a nondescript wood-paneled door, this gem offers an interior rich in mismatched vintage furnishings, local artworks, and a warm, dim ambiance that feels plucked from a whimsical storybook—yet deeply rooted in urban cool. The menu evolves with the seasons, inspiring inventive libations that merge tradition with daring flavor combinations. From house-infused tinctures to herbal blends, each drink feels curated with intention. Standouts include imaginative options like the Punch (ask for today’s potion), Hibiscus Paloma, or adventurous non-alcoholic creations like The Midnight Idol. The “Passport” series serves as a global tasting journey—whether it’s the tropical Kick of Brazil’s Tropicália or the smoky incense of Poland’s Polska, the menu reads like a sip-worthy travelogue. Beyond cocktails, the bar features a rotating selection of draft and bottled beers across twelve taps and local favorites—making it as appealing for beer aficionados as it is for cocktail enthusiasts. Accolades speak volumes: Velveteen Rabbit has earned praise from Bon Appétit for its “creative cocktails that walk the line between brilliant and bizarre,” earning a devoted locals’ following despite its unassuming entrance. Whether you're drawn by the adventurous drinks, the quirky décor, or its offbeat exclusivity, Velveteen Rabbit is a storybook experience in the desert—a perfect evening escape that feels secret by design, yet impossible not to talk about.

Tucked off the main Strip at 4640 Paradise Rd in Las Vegas, the Double Down Saloon opened in 1992 and has since carved out a reputation as an iconic counter-point to the glitzy lounges of the city. This place keeps it raw: graffiti-covered walls, broken-looking fixtures, weird video loops on the bar TVs and a permanent punk rock soundtrack. Regulars and tourists alike converge for a no-frills, high-energy experience with live bands (often free entry) and a “shut up and drink” attitude. Signature drink? The infamous “Ass Juice” — served in mini toilet-shaped glasses, a rotating potent mix of brown liquors with no fixed recipe — and the Bacon Martini (vodka infused with bacon fat and a crispy bacon garnish). Bands, pokie machines, pinball, and cheap drafts keep it lively. As one commentator puts it: “The dive bar concept taken to its logical extreme.” Whether you show up midday (yes, some say 24/7) or deep into the night, the mood is the same — unapologetically rough around the edges and steeped in alternative nightlife culture. If you’re after polished cocktails and luxury views, look elsewhere. But if you’re after character, weirdness, loud music and a “real” Las Vegas dive, this is the place.

The NoMad Bar in Las Vegas isn’t just a hotel lounge — it’s a destination in its own right, tucked away in the NoMad Hotel (a “hotel within a hotel” concept inside Park MGM) with a feel that leans library-meets-lounge. Its entrance is subtly placed, off the main casino floor, giving it a discreet, exclusive aura. The interior is richly appointed: velvet banquettes, dark woods, parquet flooring, brass accents, and a gilded back bar that glows against the darkness — all carefully styled to feel luxurious without being overbearing. The drink program is led by Leo Robitschek, whose team has earned high praise (including ranking as “Best Bar in North America” and top world bar honors). The cocktail menu includes both refined classics and inventive, playful creations — and some of the signature “sharing drinks” (designed for 4–8 people) are a highlight. But the NoMad Bar is more than cocktails. They also serve “dinner and late night bites” — an eclectic menu of small plates, snacks, and shareables to pair with drinks. The bar’s food menu includes items such as a Maine lobster roll, truffle fries, smoked shrimp cocktail, a prime rib sandwich, gem salad, and more. Because it is part of a hotel resort complex, there is both the glamour of Las Vegas and an overlay of intimacy: you can expect quieter evenings (especially early in the week) and busier, energetic crowds on weekend and show nights. All told, NoMad Bar offers a refined, moody, and stylish cocktail + bar dining experience, balancing the theatricality of Vegas with the sophistication of a world-class mixology destination.

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.”
