    Japanese GNT

    Prior to this occasion, Juniper Cocktail Lounge was closed every time I walked by. So, when this night I heard a DJ, I thought "score!". Foolish mortal. Drink Japanese GNT ($22): Always puzzles me when the actual cocktail directly contradicts the menu's illustration. Quite boozy, so yay. Rather sour though, the strawberry did not come through at all. Self mix from the tonic water can from the ubiquitous Fever Tree. Value: Sub-optimal even for a Strip location. Atmosphere and Service: Would have been higher as the scheme of antique gold and teal, plush upholstery and tall chairs, and the illusion of intimacy were appealing. People watch factor also a plus. Eboni behind the bar was great. BUT! MGM's website for Juniper stated the closure time as 1am and "At Juniper Cocktail Lounge, the vibe is warm and welcoming." I would say the warm and welcoming aspect emanated solely from Eboni. In all other ways MGM lied. Last call was ~12am and, while the DJ end time was claimed to be 12:30am, he packed up at 12:15am. The lights went up at 12:25am. Security came through to clear the space at 12:37am. Overall the vibe was, instead, GTFO. I'm more pissed at MGM's inconsistency rather than the staff.

    This place is nice! Great looking cocktails. This service was prompt and very good Alisha is amazing!!!!

    Sexy bar lounge

    Beautiful sexy lounge l located in the Park MGM. Plenty of bar seats and comfy plush couches that are normally reserved for VIP but If no events are occurring then open to anyone. Bartenders were very helpful, polite and professional. Service was efficient and my cucumber gin drink was totally refreshing. Check out this bar pre or post concert or if staying or walking through the Park MGM.

    Sign outside the lounge.

    Really disappointed in this place. For a gin bar, the selection is pretty pedestrian, and the staff isn't trained in their differences. In addition, the music is REALLY loud, and it has an intense "party" atmosphere, not a "lounge" atmosphere. It's too bad, because 4 or 5 years ago when I was there, this was a GREAT experience. Management must have made some pretty terrible decisions around it since then. I want to make it clear that the staff is wonderful, and they tried their best to provide a good service, but their hands seem tied by hotel management. This place COULD be the best gin bar in Vegas, but at the moment, it's anything but. Hopefully they realize their mistake and bring it back to where it was 5 years ago. This has the potential to be really good. In the meantime, Bavette's Back Bar, or Nomad Library, both provide much better atmosphere.

    Really?  advertising for the bar. Meh

    Having heard about this and passed this bar for years, we made the effort to come from our hotel because we wanted to experience a collection of Juniper cocktails and try something different. What we got was a pretty, if not remarkable atmosphere... A phenomenal bartender, whose name I didn't catch but she was a tall woman with her hair in a bun, and a charming manager named Ben What we didn't experience was absolutely anything that provided what was promised. A generic menu, similar to that found in any airport bar, appeared to been provided by the corporate office because it had absolutely nothing to do with gin The charming waitress, who was very pleasant, couldn't even recommend a unique gin drink... She ended up suggesting an aviation... Which is a gin drink that you can get it absolutely any bar anywhere . And I think they just used any old gin We were both surprised and disappointed that there wasn't even an opportunity to have a flight of gins for a tasting Our experience with MGM, including our nearby hotel, is that they are no longer a company that respects and admires its staff Advertising a gin bar that doesn't serve gin drinks seems pretty typical what we've experienced at MGM these days, all talk, high prices, and no action I think MGM is oblivious to the fact that there are a lot of people who are very happy to travel to the Park MGM because it is a totally non-smoking property. I kind of feel sorry for this enthusiastic staff who cares but seems just to be treated like robots in some type of horrendous corporate machine In this case, This company, who's willing to screw over its clients for a cup of coffee, didn't even take the opportunity to make revenue off of this concept. Meh

    The homie Joyce W and I went to Juniper Cocktail Lounge for drinks. Obvi. It's a fun little lounge with true lounge vibes, despite being amid the busy Park MGM Casino Floor. It wasn't busy the night we went and we easily snagged some comfy seats. You can grab said comfy couch-esque chairs or belly up to their bar. It would be great for a date - cozy and dim lighting. If you want a craft beer from the limited selection, an Elysian pint will run you $11. I wish they had a few more exciting beers on tap, but I realize the whole point of this bar is mixed drinks. I'm an easy pour, what can I say!? The cocktails come out in their signature bird glass which is gorgeous so that's your best bet for cute pics. All that being said, no qualms with the Juniper Lounge and I wouldn't hesitate to go again. Especially if it's with Joyce, lol~!

    Birdie drink and complimentary snack dish

    If you want that true Vegas, cocktail experience, Juniper is the place just for that! They say Vegas makes some of the best drinks, and I can attest that Juniper really did that for us! Somehow, this cocktail lounge surrounded by slot machines, makes you feel so secluded and fancy in it's own little oasis. We came here post-wedding for a celebratory drink and I was pleasantly surprised that my Little Birdie drink came in... well, a little bird shaped glass! Accompanied by a complimentary snack dish, we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and Juniper experience. Not to mention that Lady Gaga, the queen herself, stopped in for a drink with what looked like her family! It was truly a cocktail night to remember!

    Loved this place! It's classy and upscale with friendly bartenders! I got the Carnival that was fun to watch make- a cloud of cotton candy in a glass that disappears as the drink is poured in. I would definitely go back!

    It's a cool place to lounge at Park MGM with your friends or significant other while waiting for your dinner reservation at Bavette's Steakhouse, or while waiting for the club there to open. Their cocktails are strong and good though and their sofas are comfortable. Also, it's at the only casino in Vegas where smoking is prohibited so you don't have to worry about smelling like an ashtray or being a secondary smoker.

    Do you require a reservation or are they just recommended?

    If there is a show happening at the Park Theatre that night I would recommend a reservation!

    Do they still do the fortune teller that builds a cocktail?

    I have no idea--but DESPERATELY want to know!!! That sounds awesome!

    Is the happy hour daily, including weekends?

    Happy hour is Sunday-Thursday from 5-8 pm! Select specialty cocktails are $10 (Carnival, True to the Roots, Bubbles, & Hemingway Daiquiri). Some premium cocktails are $5.

They had a limited selection of non-alcoholic drinks and upon asking if I could get one of their featured drinks in a NA version, the bartender seemed like he was being put out by the request. He made it, but the drink I got didn't really have any of the flavors described.

Michael gave us a taste of the punt e mes sweet vermouth and it was sublime. Both spectacular cocktails were definitely made for sipping and savoring. And to top it off!

The only hint I'll give is that it's located on the casino floor. When we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess. She asked us if we had reservations or were walking in. I really appreciated this because the way she phrased her question told me they had availability and we would be granted entry. The bar is very small and seats about 30. Reservations are strongly encouraged, however we went on a Monday in February. If you're going on a weeknight during off peak season, you should be okay without a reservation. The hostess gave us the option of sitting at the bar or at a table. We asked her for her rec and she said the bar so that's what we chose. The decor is beautiful. The ambiance is dark and moody. It's perfect for a date night. We were greeted by both bartenders. I believe the bartender that made our drinks was Rory. He was very nice and knowledgeable about cocktails. He was able to answer our questions and make suggestions based on our preferences. As we browsed the menu, we were presented with welcome drinks in a fancy smoky container. I don't recall the name of the drink, but it had a lychee flavor with a sugar rim and it was good! Drinks are extremely pricey which is to be expected in Vegas. It's also on par based on where the speakeasy is located (hint hint). The cheapest cocktail was $30 so prepare yourself for the sticker shock. Some drinks were $80-$100! Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. I went with the Velvet Moon which was an interesting cocktail consisting of both gin and mezcal. It had flavors of hibiscus and it also had egg white which I absolutely love! The presentation was beautiful and I really enjoyed it! My friend went with the Basilico Bliss which he enjoyed. I didn't try any, but it looked really good. As we were enjoying our drinks, the staff presented us with savory bar snacks. They were tasty and were a perfect compliment to our cocktails. They do have food on the menu, but we had already eaten so we stuck with our complimentary snacks. As we were closing out, the staff presented us with a complimentary mini dessert. Rory described it as a Carajillo Jello shot. I don't like jello (I hate the texture), but I do love Carajillos. My friend does not drink coffee and does not like coffee flavor, so I ate both of them. They were so delicious (but the texture was off putting lol). I typically don't mention the restrooms in my reviews, but this one is worth mentioning. All I have to say is heated seats with a bidet! We really enjoyed our visit. Had the drinks not been so pricey, we probably would have stayed longer. If you enjoy speakeasies and/or craft cocktails, go have a drink at The Vault! The experience alone is worth it!
