Nocturno cocktail bar

Food was all small bites perfect for sharing. Very creative takes and I would 100% order them again. Service was excellent, very professional. Everyone from the hostess, the bartenders & bar apprentices are on their A-game. Ambiance was minimalist and clean with dark lighting and some very sexy accent lights. It looks very aesthetic and clean inside. Even the bathroom is pretty. My favorite drink I tried was the Kentucky river! It includes bourbon and crème de cacao with the big ice cubes of course. Spirit forward but smooth and not too sweet either! The perfect balance. For dessert, an amazing one is their dreamsicle. It tastes exactly like an orange creamsicle. If you like those then you will love this one. I can’t wait to come back to review more drinks!!

Great bar, not overly busy, amazing cocktails, elevated small bites and changing steak specials. This place is very unassuming from the outside, definitely a place you have to come to with intention. The menu is cleverly broken into sections with pages detailing variations on each drink. Between core drinks and variations there are at least 125 cocktails on the menu. They also have 7 beers and 9 wines. An amazing variety. The menu also has a great history on each of the various drinks for the curious. My bartender, Cornelius, was engaging, checking in regularly, was super helpful, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend, but know they are strictly first come first served!

Drop-dead gorgeous in every sense of the word. The ambience, the cocktails, the swag, the level of care and customer service from staff: 💯/10. Nocturno was recommended to us from multiple nearby bars and we are so dang grateful for their words of wisdom. Not only ALL that, but they ensured we felt incredibly special and celebrated having *just* gotten married. That said, 🥂 to Nocturno! We look forward to returning on our next visit to LV. 🥃 🐆🍸🐅🍹

Nocturno is a new cocktail experience located within the Arts District of Las Vegas. A mixologists approach is taken in the preparation of your cocktail, and they are well balanced and tasty. Guinness is on tap, and there are other canned beers offered. There is also a selection of natural wines, so there is something for everyone. Food is offered, ranging from bites and salads to entrees. The food items are delicious and well presented. The vibe is awesome, as are the people working here. I definitely recommend a visit, as I will definitely be returning. Drop in, enjoy a beverage and delicious cuisine, I'll see you there, cheers and bon appe'tit!

Oh man!!!! What a gem. Stopped by here for a quick drink before going to dinner at a nearby restaurant. It's a lounge with chairs and couches. I had an old fashioned and it was good but it wasn't strong. Service was good. We asked to move from our original seat because the air was blowing strong amd and I personally don't like air blowing on me. I was freezing despite it being hot outside. Love the decor- wall of records. Great spot and can't wait to come back so I could taste their food.

Nocturno just opened a few weeks ago, but we finally got a chance to check them out on the day of their official opening. We arrived around 9:30pm, it was busy but we were seated right away. Our waiter walked us through their menu - first you have a list of classic cocktails, beers and then you get different styles of drinks with some more examples to choose from at the bottom. We first went for the Crime of passion and the Mosquito - both were crafted perfectly. Second round we got a Last word (they make it with Green Chartreuse without an up charge unlike some other local spots) and the Too Soon? - same as before, both perfectly balanced and delicious. The third round was the Creamsicle, one of their dessert drinks that tasted exactly like an orange creamsicle, absolutely loved it - and their NA brazillian Soda Swizzle, another incredible drink that tasted like a creamy mojito but obviously without the alcohol. We also ordered some food and chose the chicken fingers - they were juicy, the panade was crunchy and the dip it came with was really good. Our overall experience was great and we will happily make Nocturno one of our regular spots. Only downside was that it was pretty loud, but it could have been due to them celebrating their official opening and it wasn’t unbearable. The decor is simple, more retro with mostly earthy tones, focus point is the shelf at the end of the room displaying some of their vinyls. The lighting was dim and cozy, but not so dark that you couldn’t read the menu. We are happy about the new addition to the arts district ❤️

One of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to. The staff as friendly, the bartenders were knowledgeable, and the ambiance was soothing. Their drink menu is incredibly unique and speaks to the art of their craft.

Delicious cocktails! Told our waiter (Cornelius- shoutout him) our “vibe” for the evening, what we liked, and he delivered! Going off menu is recommended! Reservations recommended, as it is a small venue.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas, and I've lived in a handful of other cities over the years - each with cocktail bars that made me wish Vegas had just a little more intention when it came to drinks and design. And honestly? I've never felt that way about any other bar in Downtown LV... until now. Nocturno is it. From the second we walked in, it was clear that every inch of this space was designed with care. The lighting, the layout, the vibe, the way the check is presented, even the glassware. Every little detail had a purpose. Cornelius was our server and he was incredible. His energy, the way he explained the cocktails, his love for the craft, it elevated the whole experience. My husband and I are both professional artists, and we left feeling completely filled up and inspired. It's rare to find a space that feels creative and intentional in all the right ways. This one nailed it. The food, cocktails, service and ambiance was top tier. Downtown Las Vegas needed something like this. You can tell the team behind Nocturno really cared about building something special, not just another bar. I'm already looking forward to coming back. I hope this place gets all the love and recognition it deserves!

Was between this spot and the Doberman and so glad we picked this spot. Hidden gem of a place located in the arts district with beautiful and spacious seating. Feels so classy as soon as you walk in. The menu we were presented with had so much detail and really appreciate the server going through it all so we're not overwhelmed by it once we start to read through it. They have cocktails for every taste and I was not let down by any of the drinks! I ordered the dreamsicle and it was heavenly, tasted like ice cream in a cup. Have yet to try the food but have also heard it's delicious! They serve you some corn nuts to munch along with your drinks. Which is such a bonus because it pairs so well with drinks without making me feel like I have to order a food menu item and I can just enjoy a cocktail with the company of friends! Definitely recommend if you can appreciate a well made drink with the vibes to match.

Stepped into Nocturno Cocktail Bar and was blown away by the craft behind every pour. Watching the bartenders work here is like watching an artist in action--precise, focused, and fully in the moment. This cocktail was a perfect example: clean lines, silky foam, and flavors that hit just right. If you love classic technique and a moody atmosphere, this place is a must.

I came with friends on a Saturday night. An intimate and dark ambiance, perfect for a date or evening with friends. The drinks were amazing-- service and presentation were on point. You much check this out if you're in the arts district and looking for a new bar to try. Several food options on the menu as well!

Proscuitto tower was my fav & the hand cut beef tartare was my husbands fav! Friendly bartenders, laid back music. Overall a great night out

Ok finally a more detailed review. Nocturno has a beautiful sexy ambiance that's perfect for taking a date, bringing friends, or even chilling at the bar alone. All the staff there are super interesting and knowledgeable people that understand how to curate an amazing experience. This bar is for the cocktail nerds with culture but also for everyone at the same time. The prices are all very reasonable. They have 8oz steaks for $45?! And they're quality?! Yes As for the drinks, this is a cocktail bar that focuses on the classics and they do a great job at categorizing their menu based on the type of drink you may be feeling that night such as refreshing, spirit forward etc. The menus have a bunch of info about cocktail history and the cocktail families in there for those interested. On to the drinks, My favorite as of today are the Kentucky river, the crime of passion, and the dessert one that tastes EXACTLY like an orange creamsicle. All great! Btw you may notice that the bartenders go hard here when it comes to shaking as opposed to other places. They are actually doing it the correct way and more bartenders should strive to shake as hard hahah because it Truly does makes a difference! Anyway come here if you are a fellow perfectionist that also loves to drink. You will be more than satisfied with nocturno.

Oh man!!!! What a gem. Stopped by here for a quick drink before going to dinner at a nearby restaurant. It's a lounge with chairs and couches.

Decided to check this bar out since we were at Arts District and it did not disappoint! Their menu is thoughtfully crafted (along with their drinks) and they also give multiple variations that you can order for each drink in case you want something different than what is initially offered. The inside is a vibe with great music and a great ambiance for conversation that a group of friends or a date can always enjoy. Service was great too as well and it felt very welcoming! My partner and I ordered a total of 4 different cocktails and one little appetizer... Appetizers Beef cheek and caviar melt 10/10 great quality bites and the flavor complimented itself so well. Drinks The called shot 10/10 if you're a banana lover. It's so refreshing! Dreamsicle 10/10 dessert drink. Completely blew my mind! Kentucky river (improved whisky cocktail) 9/10 very spirit forward but it was amazing. Cafe con Leche flip 10/10 dessert drink. An elevated version of an espresso martini. I definitely would try the banana version of it next time! I'll definitely be back but this might just become my new favorite bar north of Charleston in the Arts District!

Hoooooowee. Just great drinks served by highly trained people who know what they're talking about AND enjoy a little conversation along the bar. A wonderful, analog experience where taking out your phone feels wrong (complimentary). Expensive but worth it.

I cannot say enough great things about mine and my boyfriend's experience here. I'm so happy we found this place! The ambiance is low and romantic, and the drink options were literally endless. They offer over 125+ cocktails, with really unique and fun spins on each. We also both got food; he got the filet and I got the cacio e Pepe gnocchi, and we both agreed it was really good. Would come back!!!!

BEST SOUR IN THE CITY!!! Big shout out to the team over at Nocturno for whipping up some delicious drinks and classic cocktails. Had a mezcal sour on a large rock. Extra shaken, extra frothy, extra delicious!!! Good vibes, dim setting, perfect for date night or just drinks with friends, late night cocktails. Great staff!!! Definitely recommend this place!!

Nocturno is situated where the gay nightclub 'The Garden' used to be. the gays are gone, sadly. regardless, there isn't a lack of studs behind the bar. roof! roof! roof! (those are dog barks) just kidding.. I'm not gay. only on Tuesdays.. and I'll be back Tuesday ;) my paper plane was made perfectly and the prosciutto tower was lovely. loved the vibe. I got 70s lounge/opium den. I would totally do heroin here if they let me. kidding again. unless the answer is yes, then wink twice. Lu was great. So was Sky. I'll definitely be back.. on a Tuesday :D

Im so happy to have an exceptional cocktail bar in the neighborhood now. The attention to detail was there with every cocktail and snack. Although the menu is extensive have the lead bartender Louis aka Bruno Diaz make you a creation based on your taste profile desired. Such a cool experience seating in front of him! I also appreciate the owners DJ and Arron coming over to say hello the vibes were high in this new gem in my hood. Cheers gents.

04 June 2025 After spending an inordinate amount of time locating a parking spot (seriously, Wednesday nights in the Arts District are invaded by hundreds of cyclists), I needed a drink before the show*. Enter Nocturno. The pleasant hostess let me choose my preferred seating arrangement, which was the bar. I let bartender Kaylin know of my time constraint and got down to business. Peach Blow Fizz ($17): Tall cool foamy and fruity, especially strawberry. A great mood perker. Service: Super friendly and chatty from Kaylin without degrading prompt service. Value: Awesome for the fresh cocktails. *Crossover plug for the Fallout Fringe Fest, running thru 25 June, with hour-long comedy, drama, and musical acts in downtown venues like the Majestic Rep Theatre and Vegas Theatre Company.

Amazing experience from arrival to departure. The interior is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The service was excellent and attentive. The drinks were SOOO balanced. It is easy to get lost in three or four because there's so much to try. We'll be back for more food options, but the late night tenders were delicious. X

10/10 highly recommend this new spot! Locals who stumbled in here on a whim and LOVED it. They gave great recommendations, make even BETTER cocktails and are a lovely new addition to the Arts District. A chill vibe with class and ambiance. Can't wait to see them thrive!

What a great addition to the Arts District! From entering to exiting, we felt the love throughout our entire experience. The staff, the cocktails and the food are ALL incredible, and you can see they care about the details. The space is beautiful, comfortable and welcoming. As soon as you take a sip and a bite, you know they love what they do, and it shows! Everything is hand crafted and curated with precision. We can't wait to come back for more, and bring all of our friends!

Truly amazing new cocktail bar in the arts district. High end and service is incredible. Food is fantastic, cocktails are even better! Highly recommended.

Drinks 10/10, Ambience 10/10. They put their own spin on all your favorite classic cocktails made with the highest execution. Tip high when you visit, those bartenders are shaking their asses off.

I'm a cocktail geek. After going to their neighbor bar that also just opened I was wary for another bar pretending to be for cocktail lovers. This place is. The vibe is not douchey, the menu is approachable, and the bartenders actually know what they're doing. If you like something, they actually know the lineage of the cocktail which helps them understand what you might like more. Will go back on a weekday now!

The interior and vibe are amazing; we me and my date tried multiple drinks everything was amazing. Amazing cocktails and vibe. definitely an elevated bar

This is an amazing place to unwind and find that perfect cocktail to be enjoyed with some crunchy corn nuts that are to die for. To complete your night with some delicious appetizers to indulge your palate while enjoying some classic pop rock long plays in the background. The Service is top notch and the ambiance inviting!

amazing drinks and the staff is great! whether you're looking for one of their carefully curated 100+ cocktails or their savory food options you can't go wrong with nocturno. we will definitely be back!
