Step into this dark, chic cocktail lounge for inventive drinks, light bites, and a vibrant DJ scene, perfect for those seeking a hidden gem on Fremont.
"An old-timey lounge known for its excellent cocktails and unique atmosphere, especially famous for its Ramos gin fizz." - Janna Karel
"Downtown Cocktail Room, opened in January 2007 by Michael Cornthwaite, is a dimly lit bar known for its speakeasy-style atmosphere, classic cocktails, and signature drinks from a seasonal menu. It was a popular spot for locals, offering lounge-style seating and unique cocktails like the Killa Kiwi and Downtown Dill. The bar attracted a local clientele, especially during the Tony Hsieh era when the area saw significant investment and development. However, changes in the neighborhood and challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to its closure, marking the end of an era for the glittery block." - Janna Karel
"Downtown’s revitalization begins with the Downtown Cocktail Room, the swanky speakeasy with fancy drinks and a smooth setting. First-time visitors might miss the front door with its indiscreet sign and even more difficult-to-find front door, but once inside, might just get cozy in velvet chairs to watch others try to find it. The cocktail menu will have any cocktail aficionado swooning." - Janna Karel
"This happy hour at this Fremont favorite couldn’t be simpler: half off well and call spirits, beer, punch bowls, and wine Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. And seasonal cocktails are $10. The bar knows how to mix a cocktail and the menu includes punches, absinthe, and plenty of classics." - Ryan Slattery, Janna Karel
"You don’t have to be on the Strip for giant drinks. At the Downtown Cocktail Room in, yes, downtown Vegas, the menu features two punches, both offered in small (portioned for four to six) or large (portioned for eight to 12). The menu changes seasonally, but look for offerings like a vodka, cranberry, and sparkling wine concoction, or a sangria-style punch. Whatever you choose, it will come in a classic punch bowl with appropriately cute glassware." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
