Japanese whiskey tasting
Brian I.

This place is definitely a unique bar in the downtown area of Las Vegas. I wanted to come here because I wanted to try out a different variety of Japanese whiskey and learn more about it. This bar specializes in a variety of whiskey but also a great selection of Japanese whiskeys. I don't know of any other location in Las Vegas that has a vast selection of Japanese whiskeys. I started off with a high ball which is a pretty standard Japanese whiskey mixed drink. I wanted to try some Japanese whiskeys that I haven't had before so I went off of the server to give me some suggestions. They offered a great variety so I went with 4 of them and they were all pretty great. With the different in taste and smoothness from each one. The display and vibe is definitely a big more high end and something you wouldn't expect in a down area. The displays alone of the different types of whiskeys in the wall is pretty cool. The location is fairly lit and offers an intimate setting. It isn't too loud where you can't have a conversation and also provides a lot of space for a decent sized party.

There's something simple about this place, but that's what makes it special and what to me, makes it authentically Japanese. Japanese. Wasn't trying to be ostentatious, just tastefully simple and elegant, and I think that's what a Japanese bar should be. They should come at the very least have the staples, Japanese beer, sake, and a good whiskey selection and Bar Ginza had all of that. My buddy and I sat at the bar and each ordered a cocktail, him a Bee's Knees and a highball for me. Each cocktail was artfully made and came out tasting delicious. You can tell this place isn't really touristy but has more of a local, you have to know about it vibe. It's not big, and it wasn't really crowded, and the bartender seemed to know a lot of the patronage. Right before we left, the head chef from the restaurant next door came in to a warm welcome. I could see myself sitting here and throwing back a few, that's for sure. I do wish it was closer to where I lived, but then I'm sure it wouldn't be what it is.

By far, one of the absolute coolest bars I have ever been to. It was so cool to see the owners actually being the ones to run it, too. This bar is located in DTLV arts district and is in good company by the bars nearby. It's definitely a spot for whiskey drinkers for sure. We were greeted by a nice woman who found us a spot for us to enjoy even tho it was busy. We found out later she was one of the owners! I wish I got her name, because she was so nice and friendly and joked around with us and even put up with my husband making dumb jokes to her haha. She was also SOOO knowledgable when we asked her questions about what we should order and she was so patient with us. My friend and coworker is a huge whiskey guy, so he was geeking out about it the entire experience. Along the walls in a glass casing, he was pointing out all the rare Japanese whiskey. I found out that it was the owners' collective collection from years and years. SO COOL! I ordered the bee's knees which had gin in it, not whiskey, and even that was delicious. My husband got the old fashioned and said it was the best old fashioned he had ever had. My friend did a an entire whiskey flight tasting. We all really enjoyed this experience here and I highly recommend stopping in. Such a great spot to grab a cocktail that is higher quality without paying a higher quality price.

This place is so cool! I've gone out to Arts District twice and both times, Bar Ginza was a stop for us. I am not a whiskey connoisseur or anything but it's so cool that they have ALL kinds of Japanese whiskey here. For those of US that don't want to drink straight whiskey, they also have a cocktail menu. I love that the place is so ... chill. There's not much I can really say about this place since they run on their extensive whiskey list and do not serve any food. The bartender is always very friendly and knowledgeable. He's very attentive so you are covered at the bar! I haven't been when this place is bustling yet so not sure how it is when they are busy. Definitely a chill place.. not a "let the crazy Vegas night begin" type of scene.

chuhai, highball, whiskey sour
Koi B.

super chill bar! family reccomendation but i thoroughly enjoyed my chuhai and was surprised since everything on the menu seemed pretty whiskey focused. the chuhai was refreshing and not incredibly sweet. my boyfriends highball was incredibly smokey, which was not to my personal taste but my other family liked it. service was decent, short and sweet. did not stay too long since the waitress asked if we were going to head out soon since we had been there maybe almost two hours and a line had been building up.

Bees knees

Take a trip to Japan at Bar Ginza! This is one of the coolest bars in downtown. The entrance is just a very non-suspecting door, but as soon as you walk in it, transfers you into a whole new dimension where Japanese artwork and artifacts are displayed for everyone. They have three main TVs at the bar, all playing Japanese anime or kickboxing. The seating area is a small quaint 10 table space. They have a large variety of Japanese whiskeys and sake. The drink menu is well put together with an in-depth descriptions of Japanese theme drinks. I went with the bees knees and it was such a flavorful cocktail. I hope to go back soon one day.

Vast Japanese whiskey collection and knowledge. Great cocktail concoctions and service by one of the owners himself. Quaint and intimate bar setting. Nice addition to the hip Arts District.

This is very quaint & demure spot. Very polite and mindful. I'm definitely coming back here. I love that it's not as busy, although we did come on a Thursday night. However, the server was soooo professional, cute and polite and friendly. She recommended drinks to us. We got the Bee's Knees and it was soooo good. We split it into shots. I'm definitely coming back here to hangout with good company! And to try the rest of the drinks!

The good stuff.  Vodka

Love this place. The bartender is the perfect bartender. Very educational and entertaining. Although I'm a Scotch guy and this place is mostly about bourbon I had a lot of fun and also learned about Bourbon and Vodka valuables intel. The setting is also great in the container park. Arts district.

Fantastic whisky bar in Vegas that you must try! Local owned, excellent service, and even better drinks. I had the Tokyo Sling and my boyfriend who is an old fashion connoisseur said it one of the best he's ever had. Please give this locals spot a try!

Mmmm the best whiskey sour in town. Josh is an absolute gem of bartenders. Great company, good vibes, comfy seats.

Whiskey sour with iwai japanese whisky

I have been hearing about this place for a while and finally had the chance to come and check it out. Fantastic cocktail and a great selecrion of whisky. Chichibu whisky has barely come to the US, but it is a fantastic brand and highly sought after by drinkers and collectors. Large selection of beer, bourbon and scotch. Old rip van winkle and a thomas handy sazerac btac caught my eye as well. Really great prices to be able to taste something very rare! The place is family run and the owners have been in Las Vegas for a long time! I highly recommend stopping in for a drink.

Finally a Japanese inspired whiskey bar at the arts district of Vegas! Found out about this spot from a friend who posted on his socials and I couldn't be any happier to check it out! When we walked in, we were greeted right away and we decided to take a seat at the bar. My boyfriend and I were amazed with the selections of beer and whiskeys. If you're not a whiskey drinker, they also have other alternatives like gin, vodka, etc. if you ever had hitachino beers, they have em there! Along with the sake made from them as well. My boyfriend and I ordered a hitachino ipa to share. I got the Japanese old fashioned and he got the bourbon highball. The bartender told us they make the circular ice in house. Carving and all. Amazing detail to it. We saw the bartender pouring what it appeared to be tastings so we also both decided to order yamazaki 12 year .5oz and nikka aroma .5oz. AMAZING. We both decided that this is our go to spot every time we are at downtown. We loved the service and loved the selection of drinks. The prices were really good too. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to head back already!

We arrived as they opened and found seating in the corner where we could all gather to discuss our monthly read. We were provided menus and the drink choices are many. Everyone ended up ordering something different which made for great pictures. I decided to try the Midnight Chaji and it was very satisfying. It had matcha in it so you know I was loving it. Other drinks tried were The Alpine, Devils Dance and a couple of mocktails. A very fitting location in the Arts District right on Main Street. The space is large with a long and inviting bar, tables for two to six, soft velvet couches, chaise lounges and chairs up front. Plenty of room for mischievous behavior. Service was fantastic and helpful. We were checked on and drinks were refilled timely. Parking is metered on the street or there are parking lots with paid parking. Monthly events including a monthly tarot bingo night, and various classes. Happy hour is Sun - Thursday 4-7pm. And I leave you with this classic lyric - "Ooh witchy woman, see how high she flies. Ooh witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes." - Eagles

In…read morethe past, I've popped in on a whim whenever I was in the mood for something fun and different. As someone who loves all things quirky and unusual, The Golden Tiki has always been right up my alley. When a friend came into town and wanted to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, I thought it would be the perfect place to kick off our evening. I was able to make an online reservation just a couple of days in advance, which was quick and painless. What I didn't realize was that they offer a weekday happy hour and live music! We were seated in "Bull***t Corner," which turned out to be the perfect spot. We had a great view of both the bar and the entertainment, making for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. Also, can't forget to mention the service. The hosts were fun but our actual server was absolutely hysterical and fit right in with the fun. She kept us laughing throughout our visit, while also being incredibly attentive. Despite the busy atmosphere, she made sure our drinks were flowing, checked on us regularly, and made sure everything was taken care of. It's not often you find someone who can be both entertaining and genuinely great at their job, but she pulled it off effortlessly. Our guests were genuinely impressed, and everyone had a fantastic time. The drinks were excellent as always--I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad cocktail here. I haven't had the chance to try their food yet, and we decided to stick with a few drinks since we already had dinner reservations elsewhere, but after this visit, I definitely plan on coming back on a weeknight to order from the food menu. If you're looking for a fun, unique Vegas experience with great drinks, and plenty of personality, The Golden Tiki is always a solid choice.

The bartenders were upbeat and welcoming and made grest drinks. It can get packed so if you need a table call ahead for a reservation or get a first come first serve seat at the bar.

We were sat at a super cute table (there were 4 of us) and looked through the menu. The decor was super cute! Sort of old vintage looking couches around some tables, dim lighting, I loved the vibe. We each ordered something different from their cocktail menu from our very nice server. While waiting for those, our friend went to close out the tab and ordered shots, but asked for something that would be good. They proceeded to give us something with muddled strawberries, I was blown away at how good it was! Best shot I have ever had, so fresh. I love when you give bartenders freedom to play and create something so good! Our cocktails were so interesting and very tasty.

The indoor space is sexy and dark, beautifully designed with lots of velvet and rich textures all around. In a cool contrast, the back patio is a bright, vibrant mix of pink, turquoise, and white. While you're out there, be sure to snap a picture in their photo booth! The staff here is simply INCREDIBLE! They are always so welcoming and do a fantastic job of helping walk you through the menu. Because the cocktail menu changes frequently with unique, rotating themes, you get a completely fresh experience every single time you visit. On my last trip, the theme was music through different eras of time, which was easily one of my favorites yet. They also have standard house cocktails, be sure to check out the punch of the day! Before you leave, don't forget to check out their cool merch and swag, which is beautifully framed up on the wall right behind the bar. No matter where you are staying in Vegas, make sure to put Velveteen Rabbit at the very top of your destination list!

Sure, it is known; however, it was surprisingly not that busy for a Friday. We were seated at a shell like booth and this space between the back side of the Players Club and the Cash cage, is a lovely and elegant place. Is it expensive? yes. Most other fine establishments are also expensive in Vegas. It is what it has become. Is that good? Probably not; however, it does give you the opportunity to experience something unique and special. Although we had one server, the servers worked very well together throughout our 90 minutes here and really team assisted with each other. Between the two of us, we had three drinks. You can page through the very detailed menu, and I decided to have the Passion's Serenade drink, which was a glass partially frozen with a coconut and passionfruit puree and then also had some chocolate rum, vanilla and fresno chili. It was a delicious drink, and actually was a great "sit back and wait" drink, because it took a while for the frozen portion to melt. The experience comes with some complimentary bar snacks and then some complimentary mini jello shots on the way out. The check is presented in an exquisite "Vault" Type of book. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would return again in the future. Expect drink prices to range from about $30 to $70, with some even higher for the "market price" drinks.
