3535 Cocktail Bar The LINQ Hotel + Experience

Great meeting spot for groups! Drinks are expensive. Duh,😉 it's Vegas. Shawn remembered us and we had great service. Comfortable seating. Good people watching on one side. Nice Comfortable chairs-- for a bit of privacy or downtime --on the other.

They have a nice lounge inside The LINQ Hotel + Experience, which is a great spot to sit and chill. They also serve good drinks. Since I don’t drink alcohol, I go for non-alcoholic options!!

The bartenders are both knowledgeable and friendly and have an understanding of what they're pouring. The bar area has a great view of the casino around it and you can truly get a feel for the place while you sip an easy drink. Be sure to look out over the blackjack and poker tables and you'll see some fortunes being won and lost.

This bar was a ghost town, I believe there was one other person when we arrived. It was quickly discovered why. The bartender had a terrible attitude and the $11 cocktail was 95% cranberry juice. The apparently just recently decided to stick to a very strick 1.5 oz pour while charging the same prices as decent drinks at the many places available. Had we known ahead of time, we would have spent that $22 on slots and got a free drink there.

For the most part, the bar was great. The average casino bar. However, there was one bartender that was extremely rude and unprofessional. To the point that I avoided the bar when he was on shift.

The service was awful. They all came with little alcohol and the attendant was rude and unkind. I would not recommend anyone to a place where you pay too expensive and where you feel unhappy. Besides, I paid $ 100 in 3 drinks and I did not have my change back

Love this bar!!! Danny and Adrianna are the best bartenders at 3535. We are always taken care of every time we come in!

Fun place! Drinks are pricey but so are all drinks in Vegas

They have a nice lounge inside The LINQ Hotel + Experience, which is a great spot to sit and chill. They also serve good drinks. Since I don't drink alcohol, I go for non-alcoholic options!!

Love this place. We ended up coming back every night. Bartenders are dope and drinks are great.

Became my hometown bar for the weekend! Kept going back, bartenders were kind and funny! Enjoyed every second of my experience!

We walked around and explored a bit. It was getting hot so going into the casino was the right choice. I actually have wanted to stay at The Linq at some point. Saw a bar right in the middle of the casino like every casino here and I loved my mudslide. Cool bartender.

We stopped here for a night cap as our evening was wondering down. With the exception of the actual bar, it was pretty dead which no one seemed to mind. The waitress was nice and quickly took our drink orders. I got an old fashioned and my wife ordered a Moscow mule. She was disappointed that it didn't come in a copper cup but said that it had a good flavor to it. I really liked my drink and while the place was clean, had good drinks and large enough for many big parties, it was a little too loud. They played a mix of electronic, hip hop and dance but the volume was just too loud for us to talk without yelling. I really liked this bar, the staff and they definitely know how to make a nice drink but I was looking for more of a lounge feel and this was too loud. I will be back for a good drink here just knowing what to expect.

If your staying at the Linq this is a good bar for a quick drink or to watch a game! Good spot to just chill, sit and people watch! Prices....it's Vegas!

We stopped here because they advertise "unique drinks" with housemade infusions and unique ingredients.. but none of that was found. There was no menu, they are just a typical bar. Service was super slow. My friend's cucumber gimlet tasted like lime juice and my cosmo was nothing to write home about. Weak alcohol content. I could not wait to finish my drink and get out of there. Hopefully they return or revise their menu, but until then I won't be coming back.

I'm going to be nice. We've been gambling at the linq for about 3 hours and have yet to see a server. I walked over to this bar just to get a water or Pepsi. I told the bartender we haven't seen anyone for hours and just wondered if we could get a drink since we are playing the machines. He didn't answer but then gave me a Pepsi. Good right? He then said that would be $5.75. Omg!!! Won't be back.

Enjoy cocktails? Inventive craft cocktails? Elevated a little off casino level of Linq hotel is this circular bar, one of the Strip's few infusion bars. Menu boasts custom ingredients. Grimlet is a classic gimlet infused with house-made green tea syrup, mint-infused Hendrick's gin, fresh lime, cardomom bitters. Ruby Rose is an infusion martini: rose honey and raspberry-infused Beefeater gin, St. Germain liqueur, cranberry juice, splash of house-made grenadine. Pig Newton (for whiskey and bourbon aficionados) is made with fig-infused Jack Daniel's Honey and ancho-chile Maker's Mark. It's *supposed* to get an extra kick of delicious-ness via bacon salt on the rim. When made right, the concoction is outstanding. When they're out of this special salt and water the thing down? Disappointment. Wat-a-pear = watermelon- and rosemary-infused Tito's vodka, St. Germain and fresh watermelon juice. Good, if lighter on the alcohol. El Fuego = mango, citrus and jalapeño-infused Sauza tequila, agave nectar, mango purée, house-made sour mix. Apple-cinnamon Old Fashioned = apple cinnamon-infused Bulleit bourbon, 151 rum-soaked cherry and torched orange garnish. Another dessert type is Mint Oreo Martini. The Mule is mint- and ginger-infused Stoli vodka with Domainde Canton liqueur, muddled lime, topped with a splash of ginger beer garnished with candied ginger. At one point, 3535 made a great Bloody Mary. "Garden" version was a tall glass of spicy tomato-ness with two bleu-cheese stuffed olives and a strip of candied peppered bacon. It was served over unique ice cubes, 1.5-inches frozen water blocks. Their original bar chairs (as seen in following link) were stylish and comfy. https://s3-media2.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/X-dWfG1AMUAv9cTRTlUWKA/o.jpg Now? Gone. Replaced by fug brown Naugahyde-ish wobbly stools you can't wait to escape. The alternatives are open lounge round seating, or one of the back booths with monitors airing Screenplay Entertainment, music videos of mostly electronic dance music or pop artists. On certain days a d-j sets up in a corner and blasts tunes. Having frequented enough since its opening, I'd gladly rate it higher if things were consistent and less hit-and-miss. Trajectory went from very good to 'wth happened to the tasty dranx'. Perhaps the key is getting the right bartender. But still... with all the bar/lounge options in walking distance, 3535 should, and can, be better.

This isn't so much a bar, but a great pit stop before heading to your next location. Located in the Linq hotel, 3535 is a solid place to drink and people watch at the same time. Beer, wine, cocktails this bar has all the bases covered, but without the normal casino prices. There are also about six private booth areas for you and your party to hang and sip before heading into the craziness that is the strip. These private booths not only offer privacy, but also power outlets and recharge stations for your cell phone, so there's never a missed selfie moment. Great place to also get some work done if you have some Strip located meetings, great Wi-Fi here. Headed to the Linq? Stop here first and get your buzz going.

They just opened 2 weeks ago, it's a bar and lounge in the center of The Linq hotel and casino, very open and modern, we had a few drinks there before High Roller ride. Since I intended to get very buzzed before getting on the ride, I ordered a few strong cocktails and shots, and they worked! The drink menu is very extensive, they have many crafted cocktails and infusion shots, the eye candy bartender Amanda made us a few ones she invented by herself, we just told her what we preferred, what liquor, what flavor, she did a great job accommodating our requests. I liked the vodka ones with spicy flavor so much. I loved it they put diamond shaped ice in cocktails, it was nice! The bartenders were extremely friendly, they were so much fun to hang with! Drinks were very strong, but inexpensive, I got really buzzed getting on the High Roller ride, so I got to enjoy the ride without the fear of heights this time! This was a great bar to hang at The Linq, we had a lot of fun there!

This rating is based on the service of one particular bartender named Cassandra. In a matter of minutes, she managed to clear out a entire group of ethnically diverse people with her condescending attitude and overall rudeness. It's unfortunate because the other bartenders seemed pretty cool and judging by their reactions to her behavior, you could tell this wasn't unusual. It's a shame because we were there during March Madness and were ready to hang out and watch some basketball while ordering drinks. Lucky for us the Linq is very close to another bar (with an Irish name) that had bartenders with a much more positive attitude.

I was really excited to come here and try some drinks from their menu. They pride themselves on having "Unique Drinks" which is what we were most excited for when coming here. When we arrived and asked for a menu they said they didn't have a menu at the moment but can make whatever you could possible want. I asked for a Sazerac and they didn't have the ingredients to make it.. When we all finally decided on what to drink and ordered, the taste of the drinks were nothing special. The look and atmosphere of the bar appears so much better online and through pictures. We ended up paying about $70 for 5 drinks which isn't bad compared to other Vegas bar prices but I'd rather spend the extra few bucks per cocktail for a really good quality cocktail in a much nicer bar.

3535 was the highlight of my latest Vegas trip. The staff are friendly and talented, the vortex-y, raised bar space is sleek, and the cocktails are amazing. This became our nightly drinking spot, and when the others went off to gamble or watch acrobats fly through the air, I stayed here to play video poker and drink more. Even when I got a bit tipsy, the staff accommodated my chatter like pros, and kindly introduced me to their preferred cocktails. I could have tried everything on the menu, but here's how far I got: Chai Peanut Butter Cup - Let me state clearly, I do not do "syrup cocktails," those goopy, food-colored concoctions of many regretful mornings after, but as sweet cocktails go, this one is absolutely perfect. It really tastes like a peanut butter cup, the chai tea brings it down to earth, and its sweetness is earned. It was everyone's favorite and the guilty pleasure we returned to night after night. Blackberry Bite - Black-pepper and blackberry-infused Knob Creek with lemon, sage, and ginger beer, holy cow this was a wonderful drink. It was my last one on my last night and if I'd had it sooner, I'd probably still be in Vegas right now on the floor of 3535. Agave Dreams - This barrel-infused cocktail was the favorite of two different bartenders, and when I finally tried it, I could see why. The Patron, agave, and hint of cinnamon and brown sugar go down like a fancy hooker. Espresso Bourbon - Maker's + espresso beans, simple but rich and robust. JFK - Blue cheese and olive-infused gin martini, the crisp gin washes down the savory cheese very well. Pig Newton - Bacon-infused Jim Bean and fig-infused Jack Honey, smooth but less memorable than the other drinks. There's a solid Happy Hour from 3-6pm, and the drinks go from $13 to $2 while actively gambling, so why not put the cocktail cash into a chance to win big? (I didn't win big.) I don't think I can ever go back to playing in the corners of casinos while waiting for my tiny well cocktails.

My buddies were walking around O'Shea's and the Linq aimlessly, so I just wandered over to where I saw the most comfortable looking chairs ever. This bar has these circular leather chairs that kind of swallow you. Before I knew it, one by one, they all followed. I ordered a signature cocktail, some kind of spin on an Old Fashioned. It wasn't that great, but next few rounds I went with an old favorite Jameson and Ginger. That drink was made perfectly each time. The place was a great hangout for us, we did spend a couple of hours talking and drinking. It was a good time. We also had a wonderful waitress who was very attentive and cool.

Stopped here while wandering in Vegas. Bartender greeted us right away and we had the watapear drink. So good. The watermelon flavor was dangerously good. Mike and Danny were great bartenders and very entertaining! Stop out if you're at the linq.

Located in The Linq Hotel Casino on the famous Las Vegas Strip. Here we gave your standard Las Vegas casino bar. What's wrong with that you say? Not a gosh darn thing. This place is open to the casino floor, and you know what that means. Great people watching. So grab yourself a touch of the creature from their cocktail menu and enjoy the show. Live It Up You Are In Las Vegas For Cryin' Out Loud!

We recently went on a girls weekend to Vegas and stayed at the Linq. We quickly discovered the awesome 3535 bar and made that our home base and meeting spot. The music is fun, drinks are great and decently priced - especially during Happy Hour when you can get their craft cocktails for $8! You can sit at the bar and play video blackjack too :) Our bartender Ryan was phenomenal! He made excellent drinks, was attentive and gave great recommendations on our first night. I can't wait to go back and try all the seasonal cocktails at 3535.

I checked out of my room here at The Linq. We stopped at this bar in the casino and sat on a seated area around the bar. I was there about ten minutes deciding if we were gonna drink yet or not cause I just ate. This jerk barback comes and yells at us from about 8 feet away "you need to leave, this ain't no sit here, loiter and watch football for free!" 1. I'm a guest at the hotel 2. I didn't know what I wanted to drink YET and 3. Who does he think he is treating people like that. There was many seats/tables open and no waiting people standing. It's empty. I am not homeless, I was not "loitering". I'm also not trying to do anything "free." Don't come to this bar and give them any of your business unless you wanna feel forced to drink/buy drinks. This is disgusting, and hotel staff confirmed he should NOT be doing that. I'm now at the bar a few feet away now VERY MUCH enjoying my NOT FREE beer. This took place 9/19 about 12 PM. The tall skinny one, bar management needs to teach this man some manners. Even if that's the rules, there is an alternate way of relaying the info. Update: I watched other couples sit in the same area NOT DRINKING and he let them "loiter" and didn't say a thing!!

This place is inside The Linq casino. I'm a peanut butter fan, so I was compelled to try their Chai Peanut Butter drink. Greatness. Thin Mint was ok. The service was nonexistent. 3 Stars but had 2-for-1 deal (Marathon runner perk), so I'll give it 4 stars. Otherwise, 3.0 stars for ambience, service and price.

To be very upfront, we didn't event stay. I was looking for a good cocktail bar with a variety of signature cocktails. That's what this bar seemed to be from their yelp page. Should have read the reviews. They don't have a drink menu. There's plenty of bars in these casinos where I can get a basic cocktail so not sure what would set this place apart.

We got here just in time to catch the last half hour of happy hour. We were given a set cocktail menu where they were all priced at $8 (originally $13). They had about 5-6 different drinks. Our bartender (can't remember his name but see pic) was great in helping me pick out what I'd like off the menu. After my first cocktail I asked him about martinis. He asked me what my tastes were and preferences in drinks and managed to whip me up something based on what I said. It was a gin cocktail with some super fresh lemon and creme de violet and something else lol. Either way... delicious! They have a wide variety of infused alcohols which they use in all their cocktails. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was Bc of the reg price of drinks! $$$

We were here to watch Monday night football. Had a few beers. This is a great place to people watching. After the drink, the casino is next door, where you can play roulette minimum $10 table.

This is the lobby bar inside the LINQ Hotel (which will always be referred to by me as the Imperial Palace). It's a circular bar with typical bar/lounge low chairs and tables around it. If there was a cocktail waitress assisting the folks not sitting at the bar I never saw her. The bartenders are friendly, albeit not particularly attentive or speedy. There are several fancy cocktails, as well as bottled beers and wines by the glass to choose from. All over-priced, of course. While the draft beers are just the crap stuff, the bottled list was pleasant and better than most casino bars. The bar is designed to be hip and modern. It's far from a lobby bar I would deliberately visit. But when walking about the LINQ Hotel (a.k.a. Imperial Palace), it's a pleasant discovery.

While staying at the Linq, this was my go to bar. It's located right in the middle of the hotel so, a good spot to people watch lol. The happy hour menu is pretty decent. There were more selections than I expected. The red blend house wine wasn't too bad :) I had a good pour for $6. A top shelf cocktail will run you about $10. For the most part, service was okay however, there was one bartender that was really annoying. I hate interacting with arrogant people. Humble yourself young man!

A great bar with fantastic cocktails, fun bartenders, great location & fun people watching. It's a must stop for us when we're in town. Charging stations at the bar also a plus. You can't go wrong here.

We have been sitting here for ten mins and no one even comes to say hi to us. It's 7:30 at night and just 6 people sitting there. The guy bartender seems desperately to pick up a female customer. Wow what a personal service. So Disappointed!

I was waiting to see what this space would become. 3535 is a great, friendly REAL cocktail bar specializing in booze infusions. Most are great. Some are fantastic. Not cheap, but what is anymore. Fun bartenders.

We really liked this bar. We stopped in to play a little video poker and have a drink and got one of the strongest pours of gin and tonic anywhere. I mean, I could feel the hair growing on my chest after just one of these drinks. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing and it will definitely make us return.

Went to this bar twice and both times the service was not good. We were totally looking forward to the infused cocktails and we didn't even get to try them because it was so unwelcoming. We were hoping to take advantage of their happy hour that's promoted from 3-6 but we went on a Tuesday and the bartender said they offer it every other day except today...interesting.

As soon as I sat down I greeted and helped right away. The bartender Joe placed a napkin in front of me and asked my name before asking my drink of choice. He gave me a bottled beer and with a cold glass. Also poured for it me. I observed him for about 30 minutes and noticed he was a good multitasker and efficient. I recommend this bartender if want a great experience.

My friend and I like the lounge scene not to noisy not to crowded we use to go to the Tropicana for bottle service at their longe but it got pricy so we found this little gem in the link it's a little noisy but they do have private booths and thier bottle service is only a 100 bucks depending on what bottle you order so if your looking for bottle service that does not brake the bank and you don't like the club scene I recommend this place

A shockingly good cocktail bar. Very experienced bartenders and a very innovative cocktail menu. Their barrel-aged bourbon drinks are not to be missed. I can't believe a place this good exists in The Linq.

This bar is so great. I feel that it isn't given its credit since there is not enough signage and that the wonderful infused spirits are not highlighted. Such a waste that this great bar is shadowed by its location. It should defiantly be highlighted. Such a gem on the strip. Miriam was awesome. She was awesome. Very friendly and helpful in opening our eyes to the many bar options. Thank you.

A great place to watch a game or relax with delicious infused drinks. They have an excellent selection of unique cocktails and shots that are reasonable for Vegas prices. The staff was friendly and accomodating and even allowed us to sit in the bottle service booths and watch the football game free of charge. Definitely give this place a try.

The drinks are very weak and they are priced through the roof. Service is slow and they act like they are too good for everyone.

Very elaborate and delicious cocktails. Friendly service, but can be a little slow especially if not sitting at the bar.

Great bar of effervescent quality. Intact service with the upmost upkeep. Temper tantrum. More like tamper spectrum. I like their water with rocks. So cold and so glacier like. What

Came here for a quick drink and had a great experience! We sat down expecting to just order a drink and leave but we ended up having a great bartender and an amazing cocktail. We enjoyed it so that we came back the next night only to have another great experience. Definitely recommend the Blackberry bite for a strong/sweet drink and the Thin Mint for a sweet delicious martini. Great service from Zack and Nick!

Went for Happy hour a couple of times. Jessica made the Mule drink so good....went back and someone else made it but then she came into work and made the 2nd drink. She is a great bartender. I like the atmosphere of this bar and casino. Slot were good here.

I stayed at the LINQ and this Bar is in the Casino portion. It was simple and sleek...bartenders were good. Its like one of those spots where you stop to just rest and grab a drink with some good music. It lacked something cant put my finger on it but I think there was too much open space

My wife and I first heard of 3535 Bar inside Vegas Player magazine, which I browsed through one morning inside my hotel room. There was a large picture of a Bloody Mary concoction with a piece of bacon protruding high above the glass rim. I started salivating over the photo and told my wife, "we have to go here!" We found the bar right next to the concierge desks. It was about 9 am and the bar tender was prepping for open. Chris, was his name, was kind enough to explain the bars concept on infusion drinks: using pantry favorites to evolve and expand the modern cocktail varietals. We decided to return for our first tasting during happy hour, 3-6pm. Chris remembered us and took our orders: the BBQ Bloody Mary (no bacon to be found...kinda bummed) and my wife's Wat-A-Pear. He made the drinks well and was informative about the flavors in each. He even offered us small samplers of the infusions the bar was known for. I tried the cookie dough infused Grand Marnier cherry liqueur. Not my favorite but it was nice to try before buying. Winding down we tried our last drink which Chris had informed us was just being introduced. It was a peach infused Jim Bean Bourbon with a light orange zest and orange peel for garnish. My wife fancies vodka and she loved this more than her Wat-A-Pear drink (vodka based). Never thought I would see the day my wife drank bourbon. Hats off to you Chris, we will be back for more!
