This vibrant gay bar serves up delicious cocktails and fresh bites in a lively garden setting, complete with dazzling weekly drag shows that'll have you cheering all brunch long.
"Originally created by local gay nightlife fixture Eduardo Cordova, the Garden featured an outdoor patio with fire pits for nighttime lounging. Inside, a wraparound bar with a white stone countertop served as the centerpiece. Crystal chandeliers hung over green velvet booths and bar stools. On weekend mornings, drag performers roved the room while visitors dined on tiramisu French toast, smoked salmon Benedicts, and bottomless mimosas. In the evenings, the bar poured sweet cocktails in pastel colors while go-go dancers created a high-energy atmosphere. Last year, Cordova stepped away from the bar and opened Queen Bar Las Vegas." - Janna Karel
"The interior at this Arts District bar features green velvety furnishings and go-go dancers, while the garden patio offers firepit seating and moody lighting. Stop in for bottomless drag brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Or visit after dark for dancing and pretty cocktails garnished with fresh fruit and flowers." - Janna Karel
"The Garden Las Vegas, the gay bar in the Arts District, goes all out for the holiday season with Friday night drag shows the rest of December filled with classic yuletide carols and naughty shenanigans." - Susan Stapleton
"The Garden hosts four bottomless drag brunches a week, priced at $75 per person. The brunch includes performances by RuPaul’s Drag Race alums and offers food options like a hangover burger, sweet potato hash, and spicy chicken sandwich. For an additional $45, diners can access an all-you-can-drink package with specialty brunch cocktails and signature shots. The event is 21-plus with tickets available online." - Susan Stapleton
"The Garden, the new gay bar from Eduardo Cordova in the Arts District, debuted in June with a menu of small bites, sharable dishes, and a cocktail menu in the former Mingo Kitchen & Lounge space on First Street. Outside, the bar features a garden patio, water fountains, and flowers. A wraparound bar with a white stone countertop creates the centerpiece for the bar, while overhead, crystal chandeliers accented with gold hang over brass and green velvet booths and bar stools, paying tribute to Mid-Century decor. In the center of the lounge area is a custom-made ornate fireplace that also serves as the DJ booth. Chef Jorge Castillo created a small menu with some vegetarian items that includes a charcuterie pretzel board, Angus beef sliders, truffle Parmesan fries, cauliflower wings, spicy chicken tenders, pot stickers, and sweet potato fries." - Susan Stapleton
