"Opening in late 2009 after a rough start, Herbs & Rye became a destination for bartenders and classic cocktail lovers by offering pre-Prohibition drinks—think Moscow mule and Hemingway daiquiri—with each cocktail explained on the menu; the bar has an old-school feel where barkeeps chop ice, muddle and stir, and owner Nectaly Mendoza aims to guide every guest to the right experience without disapproving of anything on the menu." - Eater Staff
"This off-Strip bar and steakhouse combines a mobster-cum-speakeasy ethos that makes for one of the best places to nab a classic cocktail in town. Customers should try the Blood and Sand or a Sazerac with a bloody rare steak, which is 50 percent off during happy hour. The menu alone is a history book of pre-Prohibition cocktails; couples and groups can make an evening of ordering by the era." - Janna Karel
"A neighborhood spot with Old Vegas charm, known for classic cocktails and a retro steak-and-chops sensibility that nods to the city's past." - Janna Karel
"With barely-there lighting, red and black damask wallpaper, and a bar stocked with a veritable century’s worth of cocktail fixin’s, Nectaly Mendoza’s off-Strip steakhouse and bar feels at once romantic and like a 1920s speakeasy. Whether dining at a table or the bar, the move here is steak. Happy hour runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and after midnight — though it’s practically always offered all-day, which means your steaks, pork chops, and spicy mussels are likely to be half-priced no matter when you stop in. The cocktail menu here is broken up by decade, so you can start with something like a gin-based Martinez from the Gothic Age, follow up with a Prohibition-era Hemingway daiquiri, and enjoy a painkiller from the tiki boom with dessert. Best for: Sultry date nights, post-midnight dinners, and (if you make a reservation well in advance) lively birthday dinners for extroverts." - Janna Karel
"Known for one of the most comprehensive classic cocktail lists in town, it reliably serves standards like The Original Collins, Pimms Cup, Manhattan, Negroni, Sazerac and Pisco Sour among many others, making it a go‑to for expertly executed classics." - Eater Staff
