Alright so BOOM! My Girlfriend and I were like "dang, we want a drink on a random Tuesday at 9:30pm. We don't want to go to a gaming bar. Where to?" And so we start scrolling through Yelp when my girlfriend goes "speakeasy?" We haven't been to one since moving out to Vegas from Boston, and missed the ambience of one, so we had to check this place out. Like all locals, we were pretty bummed out to see it was on the strip.... But as long as you have your Nevada ID, first three hours was free for parking.
We showed up to the first bar and was informed we had to make a reservation for the speakeasy, but luckily they have two slots left! We had to play a little puzzle style game to be able to enter which was cool, and then we sat down at a little table together and began our drinking journey for the night.
I don't remember the name of my drink unfortunately, but mine was basically an old fashioned, and hers was called a Strawberry Whip . My old fashioned was easily, the BEST old fashioned I've had in Vegas. Balanced, intense, citrus notes, and just an all around drink I couldn't bring myself to put down. Her drink was absolutely amazing as well, it was sweet, strong, and an eye pleaser as well!
The gem comes in the shape of your second drink. You fill out a card with a couple of questions and as long as you have no dietary restrictions, you allow the mixologist (who were legitimate artists cause WOW) to have total creative freedom. By this point we were pretty gone, not even going to lie to you, but I took a sip from my drink, and fell in love. It was smoky, savory, complex, I was just in awe. Her drink was some sort of mango type drink that was absolutely amazing as well. We got Well for our liquors, and for four beverages with the last one being a 10/10 experience for both of us, it came out to $130ish with tip (always leave 20% plus people!!!) Every last penny was well worth it.
The ONLY REASON I don't give this place a 5, is cause there's no snacks. All that amazing liquor, and no snacks? Literally just missed the mark for me there, but then again, maybe it's for the best, cause we would've easily ordered another cocktail or two if we didn't start to get hungry haha. Definitely coming back!
