Country music bar with rooftop, live music, and Blake Shelton-inspired food
"A Blake Shelton–owned honky-tonk on the Strip that serves as a high-profile live-music and nightlife landmark adjacent to other major venues." - Janna Karel
"Two huge positives for Blake Shelton’s bar: he didn’t name it “Blake Shelton’s” and the first two floors have impressive stage setups. There's also the fact that former contestants from The Voice often show up and perform. The problem is, the drinks aren’t good, so stick to liquor and a mixer or a shot and a beer. The food is fine for what’s typically served around here—heavy food with kitschy names like redneck nachos and trash talkin’ taco salad. The rooftop called “The Lookout” has great patio-in-the-sky vibes and a more upscale interior, though the menu is basically the same. Gift shops are typical in these celebrity bars, but Ole Red goes all out. You can even grab some spice blends with names like “good sh*t”, “bull sh*t”, or “aw sh*t.”" - ann walczak

"The Kitchen + Bar opens the same year as the Vegas outpost of Blake Shelton’s Nashville-based, brick-laden Ole Red, which debuted on the other side of Las Vegas Boulevard in January — the two bars join the city’s budding country scene, one that for years has really only included Losers Bar, Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que, and Stoneys Rockin Country." - Janna Karel
"I noted Blake Shelton’s first appearance inside his four-story, on-Strip honky tonk Ole Red, which opened just a few weeks ago and was christened by Shelton and Gwen Stefani performing a duet of "Ole Red," the song that inspired the club’s name." - Janna Karel
