Help me find a bar in downtown Vegas I went to 6 years ago
I’m visiting Vegas in July and needed help finding a bar I went to. My description is… going to be vague, but I’ll do my best. I remember lots of different colored lights inside. When we walked in, there were booths to our left and right when we were walking down a short path…
Cocktails?
Where are good places to go for cocktails in las vegas? Doesn’t have to be on the strip, I’m open to all areas
💡 Bartender Knowledge
The staff are very knowledgeable and can guide you through the menu or create something special.
✨ Dim & Chic Vibe
Embrace the dark, intimate atmosphere – perfect for a sophisticated night out.
Solo traveler (guy) heading to Vegas for a couple nights - any chill speakeasy type lounges that anyone would recommend? I’ve searched online and there are quite a few. Hard to know which are actually worth going to?
Downtown Cocktail Room (DCR) looks like the best of the bunch to me. Laundry room is definitely the vibe I’m after and looks cool but seems hard to get into? Any others beyond these 2 worth checking out?

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Downtown Cocktail Room is celebrated as a hidden gem with a chic, dim atmosphere and exceptional, inventive cocktails. Visitors praise the knowledgeable bartenders and the unique 'bar within a bar' concept. While the entrance can be tricky to find, the overall experience is consistently described as fantastic, with great service and a vibrant vibe.
"This bar specializes in cocktails. The signage is really small, but the location is great, right at Fremont and LV. The inside is notably dim, and the staff say that they cater to the casino industry crowd. Most tourists don't know about the Downtown Cocktail room. The bartenders mix a mean drink, and I recommend a visit if you are nearby.
One of the pics I attached is of the bar within the bar, a totally different atmosphere, named after a loyal customer. They appreciated him so much that they hung his picture at the entrance. I snapped a pic of the portrait - although between the light and halloween decorations it is hard to see."

"Great atmosphere, great service, and great cocktails. Overall fantastic experience. The waitstaff are very knowledgeable and will help you through the menu.
Took a few minutes to find the door lol, but once it was found, we were swept away into a lovely lounge. The happy hour was great with a variety of fun cocktails to try out. The menu keeps changing so it may be different when you go there. It was a really good experience."

"Jackie is awesome! Great cocktails without pretense! Go around the corner and enter through the alley. Don't be afraid to order something not on the menu, let them freestyle, you'll be happy!"
