We been to both bars and creamery! CC Speakeasy Restaurant Bar is in their fridge. Their store front creamery of Fruit Sherbet, Ice Cream, Boozy/Non-boozy drinks (agua fresco, milkshakes, slushes to floats)! Only indoor seating is for bar guests. There's plenty of outdoor seating though. Great place to grab your boozy agua fresco and stroll around!!! Perfect for First Fridays. They have their own free small parking lot.
Craft Creamery:
I'm haven't been a big sherbet or ice cream fan since my dairy allergy has become more extreme. They revived me!! Probably because it's pretty good quality, real fruits and not only sweet!!
- Kiwi Strawberry (Dairy Free) is a must!! They have other options like strawberry water base, lime, guava, etc.
- Each $5.50+ 1 large scoop = 2 small scoops. So you can do half half.
- Floats (vanilla ice cream) and Milkshakes can't be made without dairy. Slushies with lime juice and sherbet can be.
- Restroom: Two restrooms inside.
CC Speakeasy:
(For Vegas, I'm a picky cocktail drinker. For LA, I'm considered a typical cocktail drinker...who use to love weekday nightcaps, but haven't found my local night cap watering hole in Vegas yet.)
Restaurant, Lounge, Bar (large speakeasy) in their fridge. Wait to be seated at Craft Creamery. Or ask any staff "What's the scoop of the day". Current Hours: Open 5pm-12am/2am with kitchen closing at 12am.
Amazingly curated set of cocktail and food menu. They definitely got my interest. However....they are still fairly new so either they'll improve on their cocktails, or I'll just have to super customize off what they usually do.
- $15-$17 cocktails. Great for ppl who like sweet. Bartenders coming from our restaurants like The Pepper Club (Cocktails were too sweet there though.
- $14-$25 tapas/appetizers sounds delicious!!
- Restroom: There's 2 bookshelf restrooms inside. Not gender segregated which is nice.
- Decor/Atmosphere: Spaced well. Modern comfortable with booth seating, decent amount of bar seating too. Lighting is a bit bright but makes sense if you're eating a full course meal here. Music isn't overly loud but good enough to take up the space. But don't look into it too hard because once your eyes lay off the furniture, the build looks like the quality of a production set haha Are we all accidentally Truman's on our own show here?
- Locals: I love that this place is made by and for locals. They made a haven just for locals. They aren't just about attracting tourists like many speakeasy gimmick places in Vegas.
- Excellent service!!
We 1st learned about this place from front host Marina when visiting the Creamery. Manager Tony and our server cares to take cocktail feedback. I had alot. They've been open only for weeks. So either i need to come back to retry some of the less sweet drinks, ask for classic drinks or just learn to customize off of what they already do.
- $15 Millionaire (bourbon base) was too sweet for me. Something was off on it and didn't balance too well for us.
- $16 Golden Bee (gin base) was too sweet too but at least the flavors balance well. We were told it's inspired by Starbucks medicine ball drink.
- $16 Vieux Carre (whiskey base). I ordered this because I couldn't drink the other 2. I was told I can get bourbon instead. It tastes too much of bitters and that's probably because I ordered it with bourbon vs rye (which doesn't do well in my body anymore).
- $16 Azteca Gold (mezcal base). I was told to try this as a secondary less sweet cocktail on their list. And Manager Tony's favorite.
- $34 Steak and fries seem like a really good deal! Looking forward to trying to this. I'm considered picky with my food if it's going to be priced $20 for appetizers. Looking at some photos, I'm going into wait a little.
In the end, we ordered 3 drinks, and my SO took one for the team to drink the other 2 cocktails. Manager Tony visited to ask for feedback twiceand gave tips which was really nice. We didn't ask for a replacement drink because my SO can just drink it. I just ordered another suggested drink.
Their email receipt includes deal: Please take this receipt to SERVEHZAH or MI BARRIO and receive 10% off your tab. ( Not Valid With Any Other Offers). Family company?
I'll definitely be visiting the Creamery alot since we are nearby!! As for CC Speakeasy. We are going to wait a couple weeks to wait for some fine tuning, and fine back. Again, I'm pretty picky for Vegas standards. Its probably going to be great for most guests.
