Loved this
Pam D.

I loved it here and can't wait to return. The ambiance and decor is bewitching! The mixologists are friendly and engaging and the cocktails are delicious. The drinks are besutiful. I especially liked the wall in the back near the t restroom with handwritten notes. Definitely this is a must see place in the Arts District.

Devil's Dance
Rik M.

Bar Crawl stop #2 tonight. My son is the guide tonight as he's been frequenting the Art's District with his friends for a while now. Tried the Devil's Dance as my one drink. Thai chili infused vodka is exactly as it sounds and add ginger and lives up to its name. Goth themed with very attentive bartenders makes it worth the parking issues in the area.

LOVED this place - my favorite bar of the night when I went bar hopping in the arts district!! The interior gives dark and gothic vibes, and is super well decorated. Most of the drinks on the menu were what I like to call "girly pop," which I loved since I'm a huge fan of sweet cocktails. I got the Long Summer and the Pink Monsoon. The Long Summer was sweet and fruity and I liked it so much that I ordered another! The Pink Monsoon was really good too, more on the nuttier side due to the ube. I'll definitely be recommending this bar to friends and coming again next time I go bar hopping in this area!

Dark Sister was the start of a bar hopping night for us. The witchy vibe was for us and we were so excited to try it. It was a Friday night, and it was pretty crowded. We were luckily able to snag a couch when a group left. It was nice and the ambiance was great. It was dark and moody. And the place was decorated well. The bartenders were nice. Now, the drinks were on the pricier side. They were unique flavors. I can appreciate when a bar experiments with their drinks. They were okay. Overall, happy we tried it.

Midnight Chaji w/matcha
Renee N.

Step into another world where the mood is dark, mysterious and the furniture with its velvet texture envelopes you as you sip on one of the many sinister crafted cocktails. Beautiful lighting with bewitching decor including a mishmash of vintage wooden furniture and other enchanting touches. An absolute perfect choice for our Coven, I mean bookclub to meet up. 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

Well, well, well--dark, witchy, and moody, with luscious velvet seating? Yes, please. I've been wanting to check out Dark Sister for quite some time, and I'm so glad I finally did. The vibe is meticulously crafted--every sense is engaged. From the moment you enter, the dim lighting and subtle, woodsy fragrance create an atmosphere that instantly feels warm and inviting. My husband and I were lucky enough to snag a cozy velvet bench tucked behind a table, complete with beautifully designed menus that resemble delicate grimoires, featuring their thoughtfully crafted, magical cocktails. I ordered a prosecco, which arrived in a goblet straight out of days of lore--loved every detail. Despite it being a busy Saturday night, our server checked in on us several times, which was much appreciated. There are also tables and chairs toward the back of the space--perfect for lingering with friends (bring your cards, chicas). We'll definitely be back.

SO vibes with an awesome ambiance. The drink menu is so creative and the bartender was really helpful. The cocktail was yummy and had a good kick! Would seek out if in Vegas and wanted a chiller night

Silent Fog
Yukari N.

Finally I could go to this bar. It was nice interior inside the bar. It was super busy on Halloween night. I could order only one drink because it was almost impossible to buy drinks. I got Silent Fog. I don't like gin but this earl gray gin was so good. I liked it. My husband got Whispering Harvest which was good too. I want to visit on the normal day. * Thus bar has only one bathroom for male and female. So it was super long line when I was there.

Long summer with strawberry vodka, lychee, lemon

Dark sister is the place to be for dark vibes and ambiance, however friendly and welcoming. Come by and sit anywhere, servers will come up to you. (This has been my experience the last two times I've been here on both a Friday and Saturday night). Tonight on Friday they even had a live DJ! Haven't tried the food yet, it's more of small bar snacks like pretzels. The drinks were delicious and affordable!

Aqua Tofana (I believe)
Kat O.

Went for the first time this week. It was around 6 pmish and the it wasn't too busy. Still a good chunk of couches available. I love the witchy vibes and names of the drinks. Everything's so cute. Prices for the drinks are around the $15 range. I will def be back.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed cuddling on the couch

Spooky-dark laid back cozy atmosphere. Drinks were amazing and as unique as the bar itself. Nice to hangout and relax.

Cute
Chas L.

It's such a cute little place. They changed the menu every solstice. The music is great.they have a large variety of drinks.

Jenna R.

Such a fun and cool little place! Had a spooky girl's night here during happy hour and it was amazing and so much fun. Service was awesome! In love with the ambience, especially for spooky season. So many areas for photo ops. All cocktails were so good: LoveStruck, Fireside Ritual, Incantation, Whispering Harvest. My LoveStruck cocktail came in a souvenir glass cup, so freaking cute! We didn't read realize this place only had cocktails and no food, so make sure to eat or grab a snack before stopping in. Found parking on the street and paid $9 for 3 hours of parking. Would come here again!

Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 I love themed bars like this jungle one. Definitely one of my favorite themed cocktail bars in Downtown! Walked in at around 8:30/9pm and it was pretty dead. My friend and I were able to secure a booth, which felt intimate. It was ample space for 2 people but I can imagine if you had 4 people you'd feel squished. My friend ordered the Naked & Afraid and I ordered the Tropical Howler with vodka. Both of our cocktails were amazing and we'd order them again. If you like sweet cocktails, Tropical Howler is definitely for you. We both ordered a shot of the Mind Eraser, which had coffee liqueur I believe, I am not sure but you could taste the coffee and it was pretty good. Our bartender gave it to us with straws so you could probably sip it like a cocktail or take it like a shot. We liked the vibes in here due to its dark and intimate feel. We probably would have gotten a different vibe if we didn't have our own booth. I would come here again!

We did a night of bar hopping in the much improved downtown area. Our last stop of the night was…read moreProwl. The bar has a jungle vibe and has a screen motion wall that is always changing. Including a pesky little black panther that pops up when you least expect it. Food The menu offered some unique choices. Many of which were their take on traditional cocktails. I went with the For a Good Time, Call 1-888-87-PROWL. The phone number is a legit call line and they encourage calling it, so that's just what I did. The drink itself was good, but a little sweet for my liking. 4/5 Service The bar was pretty empty when we arrived, but did fill up. Service was good throughout and everyone was kind. 5/5 Ambiance Prowl fully embraces the jungle vibe. The decor and drinks all tie into it and it works well. 5/5 Prowl is a fun bar in the area. The prices are reasonable and the vibes fun. Check it out.

The Laundry Room is a cool, intimate speakeasy located within downtown LV. Only 16 people are…read moreallowed in at one time, you need a reservation, and there's a dress code. We were seated at the bar and had a nice time interacting with the cocktail craftsman/man in charge, Davey. The menu is his creative brainchild and changes a few times a year, with the current one based on the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a 90 minute limit and 2 drink minimum per guest. Because of the craft and attention to detail that goes into each cocktail, we finished our 2 drinks just about right at the 90 minute mark. I really enjoyed both of my cocktails but the one that stood out to me the most was Strange Medicine. It was reminiscent of a martini but with Brie-washed Old Bison vodka, Cocchi Americano, and herb oil. It was so good that I wasn't sure what drink to choose next, but Davey was helpful with a great recommendation for another cocktail served with a chunk of parmesan cheese on top. Keep in mind that you're paying for the experience and the level of craft. So with a 2 drink minimum it won't be a cheap experience but it's definitely something worth checking out for the unique, creative cocktails.

Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

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. I'd love to come back when we have some more time and try some of the other drinks. Everything about this place was amazing to me! Vibe, staff, the drinks, I had a great time!

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!

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with beautiful decor and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The service was outstanding. Our bartender was super friendly and every drink were crafted and presented beautifully. The cocktails are definitely on the expensive side, but you're paying for the entire experience. They also bring out complimentary snacks and dessert jellies, and everything is served with incredible attention to detail. It's a small space, so I'd recommend making a reservation. If you're looking to treat yourself to a unique cocktail experience in Las Vegas, I would definitely recommend The Vault.

The Vault is worth experiencing once, but I wouldn't rush back…read more I ordered the Velvet Moon, and it was exceptional--beautifully balanced, creative, and easily one of the best cocktails I had in Las Vegas. The bartenders are clearly talented, and there's no question they know how to build a great drink. Where The Vault loses me is its pricing philosophy. The least expensive cocktail on the menu was $38, and several were listed as Market Price--something I'd expect to see next to a lobster or a seasonal seafood special, not a cocktail menu. The concept seems to revolve around sourcing ultra-rare, historically significant spirits and building a story around them. For me, that's the wrong focus. A great cocktail should be judged by what's in the glass: balance, texture, aroma, complexity, and finish. Rare or century-old spirits don't automatically make a drink better. In many cases, the same--or an even better--result could be achieved with thoughtfully selected modern spirits and exceptional technique, without asking guests to pay a premium for the narrative. The atmosphere is intimate and unique, and if you're a cocktail enthusiast, it's worth visiting once. Just know that you're paying as much for exclusivity and storytelling as you are for the drink itself. If you're looking purely for the best value in craft cocktails, there are better options in Las Vegas.
