Vegas is officially having a cocktail moment, and Prowl just punctuated that statement with an exclamation mark. With Liquid Diet and Stray Pirate already holding down the block, downtown Vegas has transformed into a genuine cocktail destination, and now it's raining cats and dogs, literally, from Stray Pirate's canine-inspired shipwreck vibe next door to Prowl's sleek panther-driven aesthetic.
From the moment you step inside, Prowl feels distinct yet effortlessly welcoming. The décor hits an elusive sweet spot with rich moss-covered rock walls, glowing orbs above, cool crystal-like lighting, beautifully themed bathrooms, and creative digitally animated screens that feel like windows deep into a lush jungle. While it might be a nod to the Jungle Room at Graceland, Prowl is its own animal. Plush booths upholstered in warm velvet tones add a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe without any hint of pretension.
Great spaces don't become unforgettable without the right people behind them, and Chris Gutierrez, general manager and cocktail creator, ensures Prowl absolutely delivers. Alex was behind the bar during our visit, expertly crafting every drink with undeniable talent. Each cocktail, like the fresh and beautifully balanced "Monstera Mash" and the delightfully layered "Neon Flamingo" (complete with a tiny flamingo garnish), is a masterclass in flavor and creativity. Chris's welcoming presence and genuine enthusiasm as he showed us around further highlight the depth of passion behind this place.
Prowl doesn't just have good liquor; it has an expertly curated selection and knows exactly how to elevate every drop. Every cocktail we tried was flawless, proving this team isn't just talented, they're inspired. We'll absolutely be back ASAP.
If you haven't been yet, go now before the cat's fully out of the bag. There's no dress code at Prowl, but let's be honest...this isn't your average downtown dive. It's a lush, cinematic jungle escape built with intention and care. You'll feel welcome however you show up, but if you want the full effect, channel your inner Sex Panther. 60% of the time, putting in a little effort works every time.
