This is truly one of the coolest speakeasy cocktail bars I have ever been to! Finding and entering the spot is an experience in itself, thanks to the unique artwork that seamlessly flows right onto the hidden door. The Vibe: Inside, you'll find a sleek, industrially designed space where the bar looks directly into a small kitchen setup in the back. It gives you a fantastic front-row view of how they craft their drinks. There is also a really cool patio space that has the look and feel of an open garage. The Service & Menu: The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and great at walking you through their highly unique menu. The drink list is hung across the bar structure on brown paper, giving the whole setup a very authentic, rustic look. I highly recommend trying the bell pepper martini and the pandan key lime if they are available when you visit! If you are exploring the Arts District in Las Vegas, this spot is an absolute must-see! read more

Liquid Diet is another new, great addition to the arts district. The location is a bit hidden from the main road & isn't super large inside, only a few tables and some outdoor seating. The vibe imo gives "The Menu" like the thriller movie. It's very industrial and sort of eerie in a good way. The drinks are also very unique. The menu rotates & current options are writing on brown paper held up by clothespins. In my visit I tried the appletini which was definitely not your standard bright green option. It wasn't overly sweet & still tasted exactly like apple. I appreciated the adventurous options they had like a bell pepper martini & would definitely come back next time I'm in town. A great spot to grab an after dinner drink. read more

Everything made in house so much love in each drink read more

Liquid Diet - Apple martini. Amazingly good - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

A friend recommended this place, and it's kind of mysterious because you have to know what to look for when finding this place. Once you're in they have the name for the bar. Really cool And hip bar. They have their drinks/cocktails labeled on cardboard boxes hanging at the top of the bar. Cool interior design cohesively put together with unique furnishing and modern art. Music was also spot on. This place is a vibe and so are the drinks. I love horchata so I had tot run the horchata tequila drink! read more

So you need to know about this spot cause there is no sign, but all the locals know about it, well at least the cool ones! Set back off Commerce there is a unique wall mural over the door. Walk into a groovy little open format bar/ alchemist lab! Seriously there is a "Mad Scientist" at work here making all their own tinctures and potions! And it works! These cocktails are the most creative, delicious and unique anywhere in the Arts District! If you can't find a memorable drink just ask Joey he will make one up! Like most spots around the Arts they have a back patio and lots of seating inside but sit at the bar top if you can because that's where the show is! read more

Special thanks to the bar staff at Liquid Diet for making our outing more memorable. Liquid Diet does an incredible job of delivering a unique drinking experience. We can't believe how well their drinks capture the essence of different entrees. We highly recommend the Gin Vindaloo and Pico de Gallo Michelada!!!! read more

I had friends from out of town who wanted to do the touristy thing. After a recommendation from Hugh at the CHAD for good cocktails, we ended up at Liquid Diet. If you don't know what you're looking for, you may think it's Voodoo Brewing, but look for the door next to it. I got the Key Lime cocktail and friends got the Pico de Gallo Michelada, the Grapefruit Negroni, and the Yuzu shot. My friends did not care for the Michelada but I thought it was delicious, tastes just like pico. All the the drinks were great and the bartender was very nice and informative, answering all the questions we had about the drinks. Pretty much all of the things to make their cocktails are made in-house. The decor is dark, but very chill. read more

​I stopped by Liquid Diet with two friends recently to check out the vibe. It definitely has that classic dive bar atmosphere--unpretentious and laid back. The staff was really friendly and made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in. I decided to try the pico de gallo michelada, and it was a very interesting experience, to say the least. It tasted exactly like pico de gallo in liquid form. If you're a fan of those specific flavors, you'll probably find it fascinating, though it was a bit of a unique taste profile for me. Overall, it's a decent spot for a casual hang with friends, but it didn't quite hit the mark for a higher rating this time around. read more

Got their yuzu drop shot and the chocolate chip banana bread spirit forward cocktail. Both were amazingly balanced and tasty. I think this is my favorite cocktail bar at the moment. I'll definitely come back to try more drinks soon. Lydia was my bartender she didn't make us feel rushed even though we came close to closing time and was chatting a lot with my friends. read more

I went there last week and the drinks were the most intricate cocktails I had ever seen. I had the green apple tequila highball which was great. I also had the bell pepper martini which I enjoyed. Ambiance was very lowkey and relaxed. read more

Ordered a couple cocktails here recently. It was kind of hard to find the location, there were no marked signs. I just happened to walk into a building that looked open and asked where liquid diet was and they said you're here. The service was great and they were quick and able to explain the different cocktails. I ordered the horchata drink and the sour apple. My fave of the two would definitely be the horchata. I was not a fan of how sour the apple drink was. read more

Our bartender at Nocturno recommended Liquid Diet for our next stop. What a find! Yes, per other reviews it's down an alley and easiest to find by looking for Voodoo Brewing and then find the business to the left of it. IMO the vibe is not dive bar so much as industrial minimalist art garage. Yes, please. Service was super pro and the drinks on offer for the night are each listed on a piece of cardboard over the bar. Very fresh flavor profiles, plenty of green flavors (I had the horseradish vodka shot with a chaser of clarified tomato and cucumber - or maybe green pepper?- still dreaming of it), and plenty of other options for sweet, sour, spicy, burny - whatever your inclination, they've got a science-y, balanced, and artistic take on it. It felt like a secret cocktail lab. My sister had the chocolate chip banana bread cocktail and it was delicious, complex and beautiful. You could stare into the abyss in their clear, clear ice! This is the opposite of a fussy speakeasy but with the same reverence to the craft of cocktail-building and I loved it. Def a locals hang and welcoming of visitors. read more

Liquid Diet is such an awesome spot in the Arts District! It's sort of hidden, but that is a part of its charm! Easily one of the best drinks I have found in the Arts District- although the signs make things look super simplistic and a bit grungy, the drinks are sophisticated and very tasty. All of the staff I met were extremely funny and service was really quick. It's a small bar and you can go outside if you want to hang out outdoors. Its simplicity is paired with some awesome jams, good drinks, and very clean restrooms. Would definitely recommend checking the place out if you like good bars and also hidden bars. read more

This place was awesome! It is such a hidden gem here in Vegas as it's located in the Arts District with an unassuming entrance. I love how laidback the environment is and how fun the bartenders are. I tried a total of 3 drinks and they all blew me away in terms of the flavor complexity and also accuracy to the name of each. I love visiting the world's top bars and this place needs to be on that list. I wish the best for them and hope they get discovered. I can't wait to visit this place again the next time I'm in town. read more

I've been here since last year every time I visit Las Vegas. Definitely a fun vibe visiting this place. Parking is a bit limited but I've been ubering/lyfting here so it's never been an issue for me getting here. The two times I've been here, I've been coming here 30 mins early but there isn't a wait time thankfully and it starts to get crowded probably 30 mins after open. I've came here on weekends and it's surprisingly not busy but could be cause this place seems to be more than locals now than tourists. Now when it comes to the inside, it's pretty small but still had a great vibe when it comes to the bar and with the tables they have. The drinks they have are also really good too, they have never ceased to impress me! They got a bunch of shot drinks too and their non-alcoholic drinks are pretty affordable too! Some of the drinks are pretty strong with the alcohol so if you like some strong alcohol, I'd say try out this place! I would definitely recommend trying out this place if you want a good vibe and you want some good cocktails drinks. read more

If you blink, you'll miss it. This unassuming warehouse like bar has the feel of a college fraternity party but with more interesting drinks. Open only 7pm -1am wed through sun, Liquid diet posts their drink menu on cardboard signs, changing it daily couches, long tables and a bar provide limited seating for what becomes a rowdy crowd. Whether you come here before your next stop, after first friday, or late night just before clheading homez you are sure to find some delicious drinks. Drawbacks, when crowded it is difficult to get a drink and inevitibly the room begins to smell like spilled alcohol Also no food. Liquid diet is a great addition to the art district. read more

I've been here a few times with a friend who loves this place. I appreciate the casual vibe and creative cocktail selection. During this visit, I ordered their Banana Daiquiri. I didn't realize it wasn't the standard frozen beverage. Instead, it was poured into a small cocktail glass--maybe eight ounces at most. It was good, but the $16 price for such a small amount is too rich for my blood. Next time, I'll stick with a pint of beer for half the price. If the cocktail pricing was more reasonable, I would be more inclined to buy multiple drinks, spending more money in total, and patronizing the business for a longer duration. Maybe that's their business model: serve premium-priced drinks, then quickly send customers back on their pub crawl. Service was friendly and attentive during their peak time on a Friday night. read more

Drinks were good, bartender sucked though and was rude to us but not the other groups around us.

Felt like we were annoying them by ordering drinks? Wouldn't go back. Fine for a drink I guess. read more

It's rare to find a hidden gem filled with locals not destroyed by the strip madness in Vegas. When my friend told me where it was in the Art's District, I couldn't find it. Now if I commit to an adventure I never quit early. So after nearly thirty minutes down a dark alley next to a spot blasting mariachi I found Liquid Diet. When she arrived she looked at me straight into my eyes and said this spot will lay you out, pace!     3 drinks and 2 shots later...    She wasn't lying‼    Honestly, this spot went straight into my TOP FIVE cocktails next to Attaboy ( Manhattan / Nashville), Double Chicken Please ( Manhattan ), Petrossian( Vegas ) and Zuma ( Vegas ) ‼     I'm not really enjoying the sauce as much as I used to now, but when I do, I'm either drinking cheap Michelob Ultras with my Sativa Packwoods vape or bougie cocktails in small doses. Yes, I know, I have to check in with the devil every once in a while, just those stops are getting farther and farther apart. read more

Liquid Diet - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

After a long week, the wife and I and a couple of other friends checked out Liquid Diet on a Friday night for some much-needed cocktails and were blown away by their creative concoctions. Liquid Diet had been on our to-do list since its opening, but our motivation reached critical mass once it was named one of Esquire's Best Bars of 2024. While not another speakeasy (thank God), Liquid Diet was without signage, tucked away in an alley in the Arts District, and easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. Once inside, it looked like a mashup between a professional restaurant kitchen and a mad scientist's lab that reminded me more than a little of the since-closed, iconic, NYC bar, Booker and Dax in both aesthetic and cocktails. Mind you, my one visit to Booker and Dax was over 10 years ago at the end of long night of food and drink so forgive me if my recollection is faulty. The two bartenders who took care of our group at the bar were friendly and helpful in describing Liquid Diet's drink lineup and explaining some of the method to their madness. Between the four of us in our party, we ordered pretty much every alcoholic drink and shot on their menu sharing sips off each other's drink. As a result, I had a fairly comprehensive sampling of most of Liquid Diet's offerings. While I usually favor whiskey-based cocktails, Liquid Diet's creativity and skill were truly put on display with their drinks utilizing other base spirits. In a night full of home runs, the Pandan Key Lime Pie and Pico de Gallo Michelada were my favorites of the night. There's no shortage of good places in Las Vegas to go for a cocktail. However, the list of GREAT places for a well-made, inspired, drink is much, much shorter. Add Liquid Diet to that very short list. I can't wait to get back there. read more

Cool spot, good little vibe... The date old fashioned was nice although it was pre batched so that takes the fun away from a true crafted cocktail. We tried ordering a virgin mojito which was a no go, which is odd The only NA beverage was lemonade or water. This place has potential but customer service was lacking especially from the dude w the long hair. read more

With Downtown Las Vegas and the Arts District really on the up and up, this speakeasy is a great standout. It is a search for the door as they don't have any signs or instructions how to find and enter, but it is part of the pull. The drinks are high shelf and refined so there's really no wrong choice as far as the menu goes. Plus the staff have great recommendations and really know their menu and drinks so ask them and trust their word. The space isn't all that large but they have seatings available to large parties with long tables and couches. It's a garage hang out lowkey vibe so very casual and chill. read more

Stumbled on this gem after a punk rock mosh Nextdoor. The best cocktails I have had in a while. I highly recommend the yuzu shots they are fantastic. Had the mezcal negroni, brûlée, chocolate banana bread, and some yuzu shots. Such a cool laidback spot. The service here was 10/10. Now every time we are in Vegas we will make it a point to stop at liquid diet. read more

This is a place that we frequent on most weekends. They make some amazing craft cocktails with kitchen prepared ingredients. They pay attention to detail. We always come at night and there is usually no food so I'm not sure if they have any during the day. The place feels like an underground lab or kitchen. I highly recommend this spot. Definitely order the tequila verdita shots which is a shot with a chaser made of pineapple cilantro juice. My other favorite drinks here are the key lime pandam which is really yummy and not too sweet but tastes like the dessert. Another must try is the pico de gallo michelada which will blow your mind. Unfortunately the last time we went they were all sold out for the day for that drink. read more

This little hole in the wall in a creepy alleyway blew my mind. The cocktails here are crafted pieces of art. I'm a gimlet kind of gal and this one took the crown.

This place makes their cordials in house and has an array of knowledgeable mixologist that show how much love they have for their craft all around. read more

I'm not kidding when I say this place has been on my list for over a year. I have wanted to go for so long and finally made it! Honestly when I walked in I was a bit underwhelmed. It was very bare bones and just an order at the bar situation with the cocktails literally written on cardboard and hung up. But let me tell you, I was so wrong! The cocktails were hands down some of the best I've had in all of Vegas, maybe anywhere. I had a gimlet, which is usually just a very classic drink, but I don't know how they did it, that drink was the best gimlet I've ever had. Everything else we had was also delicious and I will definitely be back. read more

It has a funky vibe and rad bartenders. The drinks are always unique and tasty. Everytime I've been here, there has been some new concoctions on the menu. The vibe is very chill too. They do not have food, but I've seen food trucks out in the back alley on the weekends. It's also near restaurants in the arts district. But I highly recommend this place for drinks and vibes. read more

Just... WOW! I am still rather flummoxed by the experience here. With a simplified menu on cardboard, there is a good range of options, yet with a lot of mystery. I started tame, with a black walnut Manhattan. Delicious. We then did "Horseradish" shots. Their shots all come with the shot and a chaser. Horseradish vodka, chased with a tomato water. Incredible! Next, a Gin Vindaloo. How they packed such layers of flavor and intensity into both the curry shot and accompanying mango lassi chaser, I am clueless. To summarize, it's a quirky bar that is more a craft kitchen where they make all their infusions and mixers fresh, from scratch. Part kitchen, part mad scientist's lab where really astounding cocktails are born. The staff is friendly and helpful in explaining the menu in more detail and making recommendations. There is some really groundbreaking stuff going on here, so if you enjoy a good cocktail and are feeling a bit adventurous, you must go. read more

A must go to spot every time we are at the arts district. This place is a little hard to spot, but it's definitely worth the visit. We've been going since it opened up last year and every visit, there is something new added on their menu. Trust when I say you want to order every drink in their menu. The service is still very good and the bartenders are always so nice and helpful. The drink that drawn us to this place is the horse radish shot. Very unique and when I say unique, it's really freaking unique. You have your horse radish shot and you chase it with this clear cucumber flavored chaser. Insane! Who knew these flavors go together. Along with the horse radish shot, I tried this melon pandan sour and wow... I seriously can't stop thinking about it. Here's to hoping that they decide to keep this drink in their menu. Friends and I noticed they added this new shot on their menu.. the gin vindaloo with a mango lassi chase. My goodness. My taste buds were so confused. I've never had a drink like this ever! I actually like this more than the horse radish shot. We always look forward to coming back here every time we are at the arts district. Great drinks, great service, and just a great atmosphere to be in. This place does get packed during the weekends so be prepared for it. There's also outside seating available too. read more

First of all, I'm a "woman of a certain age," and have long since outgrown sweet cocktails with fruit on skewers and paper umbrellas. I like my wines dry, spirits straight, and IPA beers. I don't drink a lot, but when I do, I want to enjoy the spirit, not the sugar or additives. Liquid Diet is a little different from most bars in that they have a lot of savory cocktails instead of sweet. They have sweet, don't get me wrong, but they have cocktails with actual flavor! The Pico is next level as is the horseradish drink. My friend and I had a great time, and let's just say that I'm glad there's Uber. Those shots are lethal! They need a standalone website. It's a fun, industrial-ish place with what I call the "Arts District Vibe." Go. And be sure to have Uber or Lyft on speed dial. read more

Love the cocktails here so much. They are so fun and creative. If you like savory, the pico de gallo michelada is awesome.

Step out of your comfort zone and check this place out. Drinks are made from scratch with a culinary twist. The decor and setting is one that will instantly make you feel comfortable no matter who you are. The bartenders are super friendly and helpful if you want a recommendation for something to try. The menu is ever changing so be prepared to try something new every time! And go Vegas, the prices are incredibly fair! I'd be here daily if I didn't live on the other side of the country. read more

Cat H of Bar Ginza, my previous stop, upon hearing that I was intending to hit Liquid Diet next, kindly gave me directions. Something I actually needed as it turned out, as Google Maps allowed me to walk right past the open gate in the alley to cross into Silent Hill before I realized my mistake. Atmosphere: Cheerfully chaotic backyard bar. Menu was black marker on pieces of cardboard tacked above the bar, along with the skull of what looked like a giant buzzard. The skull's eye sockets were handy (literally) loops for the crossbar from which dangled another skull. Bunches of bananas swung beside pots and pans, while brass animals, mismatched glasses and tea cups, and succulents were scattered over the various counters. It was as if grandma's storage unit had exploded over her grandson's man cave. Horseradish Shot w/tomato water chaser ($10): Had that strong sinus-clearing taste but so clean I barely needed the chaser to soothe my tongue. Pungent and lingering; I swear I caught whiffs of the horseradish seeping from my pores long afterwards. Value: A bit steep but not bad for an unusual drink. Service: Very friendly and pretty prompt even in the busy environment. read more
