great service and great food all around. we were at the encore and came to lobby bar twice during our stay. both times, our servers checked up on us frequently so we always had what we wanted. the second time we were patrons, we got complementary cashew snacks in two flavors and favored the one with honey. ------ -- ------ -- ------ now, the food: spiced honey chicken fingers -- 9.5/10 our server's recommendation bc she loves hot honey. the accompanying dill ranch was impeccable, i'm still craving it right now... shoestring fries -- 10/10 giving it a perfect because my my bf looooved them; he said they're "like mcdonald's fries, but better." that's a big complement because they're his favorite! these fries were fluffy on the inside, yet crispy on the outside. they are automatically accompanied with ketchup, but you can request ranch or other sauces (which ended up being complementary). street corn guacamole and chips -- 9/10 the combo of elote/esquite and guac is sooo good. yes, it's based on elote and is overpriced af compared to what elote should be. but was it delicious? very. chipotle shrimp tacos -- 9/10 very good; the chipotle sauce paired well with the tacos. all of the ingredients tasted very fresh despite being far from the ocean. butterscotch pudding -- 9/10 i don't usually have a sweet tooth, but this was not too sweet. the butterscotch pudding part reminds me of crème brûlée custard, which is topped with chocolate, candied pecans, and an abundance of whipped cream. ------ -- ------ -- ------ my cocktails: luxe lychee martini -- beautiful presentation, tasted pretty good. loved eating the little lychee on the gold skewer at the end. prob my fave cocktail so far at lobby bar buena vista espresso martini -- yummy, can't go wrong with an espresso martini. bf's review of cocktails: parts unknown gin sour -- 9/10 "yummy" north star exotic energizer -- 9/10 "yummy" (he's not very descriptive but i remember both drinks being lighter, more refreshing, and had a less alcohol-heavy flavor.) ------ -- ------ -- ------ final thoughts: the lobby bar is beautifully decorated with a red and gold motif throughout and features a striking statue of the nymph Daphne transforming into a laurel tree. this is the perfect spot for people-watching or relaxing after a night out. for me, the best dish was between the hot honey chicken fingers or the street corn guac; for my bf, it was either the fingers or fries. because it was the common denominator, the best item was probably the chicken fingers. however, we did have to request waters; it would have been nice to for waters to be offered right away, but I'm not going to dock off any points for that because maybe not everyone wants water at a bar? service was excellent both when we came late at night (around 2 am) and during the day. ultimately, we would definitely come back! read more

Everything at the Encore is perfection just like this Lobby Bar that is beautiful and has delicious drinks and finger foods. After spending some time at the pool we had two hours free before heading to the airport so we came here to have a drink and a snack. I ordered a spritz which I always enjoy very much. We got the guacamole with corn on top served with chips. OMG if you are reading this and you are the bar order it .... It's sooo good. We also got shoestring fries that was good but I wish it was fried a minute longer. The service was great so was the chill ambiance. We have stayed at the encore many times but it was my first time at this Lobby Bar and won't be the last for sure. read more

Located in the Encore Resort at Las Vegas, it was the most convenient place to pick up carry-out snacks on the 2nd night of our four-person visit to Las Vegas in Feb. The requirement was to bring back light snacks (so we wouldn't lose our appetite for our late dinner) that were shareable and could use resort credits against. The Lobby Bar definitely satisfied that. It is located on the casino floor near the elevator banks to the Encore rooms. It's primarily a bar, but also serves elevated bar food for dine-in along with the drinks. The menu is located near the entrance, near a high traffic area. For carry-out, you place your order with the bartender, and then need to wait...definitely got the impression that they wouldn't care if the consumer got the food or not. Like most other restaurants in the casinos, getting carry-out is the least important revenue source, and thus the least effort put in to optimize the consumer experience. Patty Melt Beef Sliders ($23) - two well constructed sliders, using very high quality hand formed beef patties (choice of doneness) served on extremely buttered/greasy and grilled brioche bread, topped with swiss cheese, grilled onions, and mustard. Crispy Pork Dumplings ($17) - two pieces (each piece having two fused dumplings), along with chili oil and soy dipping sauce. It had the nice crispy skirt that indicates the care put in preparing it. Shoestring fries ($12) - generous amount of deep fried, McD's like fries. Great for sharing. The food was good and the service was what you would expect for carry-out read more

A one hour wait time for a table at Wazuzu brought us to Lobby Bar at Encore. ATMOSPHERE: Intimate setting that overlooks the casino. I was surprised at the amount of cigarette smoke wafting into the bar from the casino as the hotel used to have a very good ventilation system. COMPLIMENTARY: Cashews are my least favorite nut but man, the ones they serve here are fire! The honey mustard ones are good but the bloody mary ones are out of this world! BEVERAGE: Buena Vista Made with vanilla vodka, this was an excellent espresso martini served super chilled. Highly recommended. SERVICE: Seat yourself. Female server was very friendly and professional. OVERALL: Chill lounge with amazing cashews and killer martinis. read more

This place is ridiculous, someone in our group (we are all 40+ years old) didn't have their ID so no one in our group could get a drink. Even though our friend went to his hotel to get his wallet and was no longer with us they wouldn't serve us a drink. I'd avoid this bar and honestly all of us staying at the Encore (9 rooms) are thinking of just never coming back to this resort. read more

This bar is fabulous. The service is amazing. The girls are so friendly. They have all the best drinks and we usually go here for at leastSq we visit. It's right at the bottom of the towers, which is really nice. I I've gotten appetizers here too, and the food is really good. read more

I love the Encore hotel but this Lobby Bar really fell short of the spectacular customer service and ambiance that Encore usually exudes. After a night of partying at XS, we decided to stop by for a late night (guess early morning) snack at 2am. They are open 24/7 and you seat yourself. It took over 15 minutes for the waitress to actual come over and take our order. Minus one. Then the food came out and it was TINY and salty portions. $23 for 3 mini sliders?! $12 for overly salted fries? A small cup of guacamole for $13? Nobody is filling my water and they forgot to give me a plate. Another minus. Then at the end, we are tired and bloated from the salty food and just want to check out but our server is nowhere to be found. Then we realize she is too busy gossiping with another friend/employee in the corner of the bar. I had to ask the bus boy for our check. Another minus. I know it's 3am but I still expect good customer service especially for this price point. I'll need to find another place to fill my late night cravings after clubbing as I do not plan to return here again. read more

Like many Vegas hotels & restaurants, Lobby Bar in Encore is extra AF with its decor; the plush red & gold color palette is eye-catching, as is the towering tree goddess (see pic.) Good quality duo of complimentary cashews -- the Bloody Mary ones packed some back-of-the-throat heat & the other flavor was slightly sweet. My dining partner liked their creamy hot chocolate. Unfortunately, my sticky toffee pudding was so sugary, I was loathe to take more than a few bites. The coffee ice cream also didn't pair well with the overly-sweet caramel. Hard pass on this dessert. Total: ~$19 not including tip. read more

Tried their Buena Vista (Espresso Martini). They use the blond roast version of Khalua, which is slightly more sour than the normal version. And on this day, they used a bit too much of it. They also use Absolute and charge $22 for it. They can probably do better, but it's open 24hrs so if you need an emergency 3am Espresso Martini, this is probably the place. read more

Great lobby bar at Encore while we waited for our friend to arrive. Sat at the bat and the bartenders were super friendly and we got to know them by name. We ordered some chicken tenders and cauliflower bites and they were good. Your typical bar food. Drinks were really good and definitely the right amount of alcohol. I got the Paper Tiger which is Casamigos Blanco Tequila, Ancho Verde Liqueur, habanero-spiced agave nectar, fresh lime, chile salt. Super tasty! read more

Each person sitting with you must have a 1 drink minimum, which is weird for a lobby bar by the registration desk (I think it's a new policy). I ended up ordering a Latte while waiting for my other friend to check in her room.... Just to order something since I had to if I wanted to sit with her. They didnt have any sugar-free creamer but the Latte i got without it was pretty yummy. read more

After being completely ignored at the pool, walked back inside to the Lobby Bar for a drink. Our waitress was great and responsive. Just ordered a couple Mojitos, which were fabulous.

Love this place! No, really! I love knowing I am happily welcomed into a happy, little bar even just by myself! You know what I mean... Lori, today's server, understands the importance of making every guest feel as if they are truly a guest, yay! And , these fabulous Wagyu sliders? Oh thank you, Jesus! Oh happy day! Although...the shoestring French fries I had here the other day should almost be a controlled substance...the sriracha aioli? Yes! Please!!! But, at the end of the day...being absolutely clear...there is no place on the Strip like the Wynn and the Wynn Encore. No, I don't work there, but I always stay here because I know I am safe, well-cared for, and treated well (probably far above my pay station, that's for sure). Look around, people, especially women are relaxed and having fun! How cool is that? Yay! read more

We stopped by here a few times during our most recent trip to Vegas for breakfast, snacks, and drinks since it was situated right in front the elevator doors. For breakfast, you order at the bar and they will bring it to you. As for cocktails, they have a full bar and an extensive wine list! There's a mix of different tables throughout the area for small and large group in addition to TVs for your viewing pleasure. Service was efficient during our visits. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is definitely a prime people watching place! read more

So we missed the 'Best of Las Vegas' party that was being held at XS.‍ While licking our wounds, waiting for Encore Beach Club to open.... we decided to catch a drink and girl talk at a nearby bar. This bar was in close proximity to the beach club AND had the best music options out of the few around, definitely a solid choice. The service was prompt and polite. We were served kettle chips and cashews. The bar was quiet and the environment was welcoming. The bartender was politely inquisitive and encouraged us to have been a good night despite missing our 1st engagement. To note: There is food service at this bar so NO smoking.

The Encore lobby bar is in a great location inside the Encore, near the check in area. It's a small yet comfortable area with a full bar and small bites. They have sofas/chairs/tables as well as bar seating. The service is spot on with them assisting everyone in a timely and professional manner. I told the server that I'll order a drink in a few minutes and she said not a problem and brought me some yummy toasted almonds as well as chips as I decided what I wanted. They had a list of some mock tails as well. I ordered the cucumber fizz which was decent but it needed a bit more of the candy cane syrup they said it was going to have, it basically had cucumber, ginger ale, lemon juice etc. It was refreshing and a good pick me up. I think this place is prefect to lounge around to have a quick drink or bite.~ read more

Turn up! Lobby bar gets pretty packed sometimes given that it's right in front of the Encore hotel room elevators. Great place to grab a drink while you're waiting for a table at one of the nearby restaurants or anytime really. I had a passion fruit something or the other and it was pretty good. I believe they also are doing light bar food here now. Fairly certain I saw a poster advertising this. A great option while looking for a quick bar at Encore. read more

This bar is located in the heart of the Encore, by the guestroom elevators. It has a vast array of seating options, with a main bar section, tables, lounges, and sofas. As with the rest of the hotel, it is impeccably decorated and offers excellent service. There were numerous waitresses tending to the tables and three bartenders at the main bar. They serve craft cocktails and have a decent menu. The bar overlooks the casino and is a great place to wait and people watch while you are waiting for a table at any of the restaurants nearby. We ordered a vodka cocktail and an Old Fashioned, and both were generously poured. Be prepared to pay $15-20 per drink, though. Don't forget to ask for their complementary kettle chips or spicy cashews. Both are delicious! read more

Good FRIENDLY SERVICE. Limited small plates. Had the kale salad with chicken. Probably wouldn't order it again. Also had the crispy shrimp tacos(3); again probably wouldn't order a second time. We were trying to grab something quick before a show, but aside from the fast and friendly service it was a waste of time from a pallet standpoint. I do like the Wynn Signature Margarita and would recommend this drink which has a nice kick and you'll feel it immediately. Great place for drinks and sports games. read more

How convenient is it to have a cafe/bar located right off the elevators from Encore's resort suites? Late night eats are served from midnight to 4am and deviate from the usual bar menu of burger and fries (although they do have that as well). Choose among bite-size grilled cheese trio made with turkey and ham, hummus and baba ghanoush with pita bread, prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe, olives, etc. Pair that with a cup of house coffee to give you the extra energy you need to keep on partying. read more

Not sure about the bar, but the cafe part sure sucked. Came here for a quick bite before clubbing, service was almost non-existent. Ordered the Pressed Beef and Cheddar Sandwich without onions. A server returned 10 minutes later saying that the onions "are mortified" in the sandwich. Say what?? After seeing our look of confusion, she explained that the onions cannot be taken out because the chef had prepared it in the morning and is gone for the day. Prepared in the morning?? It was almost 10pm!! Talk about freshness. The sandwich actually turned out pretty good. Nice and warm, definitely appeared fresh. Could've fooled anyone. Given that we were at Wynn/Encore, we expected higher quality and better experience. read more

Encore at the Wynn Hotel's lobby bar is now one of my most favorite tapa bars in my lifetime. It's one of those bars that you think it's just going to create this crater in your wallet.. but man.. I WAS wrong. Here's why... Recommend: CUCUMBER AND GINGER COOLER... wow. Like seriously, WOW. Refreshing, minty, gingery, agave nectar with club soda. Please be warned: extremely satisfying and strong. A nice break from the hot heat of the Vegas strip. Wouldn't be surprised if you want another glass. Tapas: DUCK SPRING ROLLS... yes madam!!! Hint of sweetness from the hoisin, in contrast to the salty. Fatty deliciousness combine with the crunchy exterior of the egg roll. Big chunks of juicy duck within this package of a tapa. LOBSTER ROLLS!!!!!! mayonnaise~y goodness with no shortage of chilled lobster. The bread was nice and buttery toasted. Pretty heavy and bold dish for a small tapa. Uh...SALMON CEVICHE ON A CUCUMBER DISK thingy... (sorry forgot the name) is really good! The best out of the three I've tried! Light, summery, Mexican inspired. Cleanses the palate after some heavy hitter tapas. Of course dessert: MACARONS WITH ICE CREAM FILLING!!! Such an epic way to end our little snack. I don't need to explain this. It's just... DELICIOUS. PLEASE ORDER if you stop by the Wynn casino. Service is great, no complaints. This is a bar and there is music in the background, but surprisingly the music isn't that loud to the point you have to use your outside voice (meaning scream over the music) super chill, calm atmosphere, lovely crowd. Love to come here again on my next visit to Vegas. Please also keep in mind, the menu might change because of the seasonality of the ingredients. read more

We had breakfast here as we were heading out of Vegas early-ish, and didn't have enough time to go to a buffet. We ordered a coffee, a green energy boost juice, a ham and cheese croissant, cinnamon roll, berries & yogurt and a banana. The total with tip came to just over $47. I know, a teeny bit steep for what we got, but then again, we were paying for the convenience. When you are in a rush to check out, you can't beat the place literally right outside the hotel elevators. It was comfortable, fast, clean. You order at the bar for breakfast, pick up your beverages (they forgot mine, so I had to ask them for it when our food arrived) and a different server delivers your food items in to go containers & bags - which is convenient if you are leaving anyway. The granola/yogurt/berries were really tasty and fresh. High quality ingredients. Not a large enough portion, but not teeny either. The Ham and Cheese croissant was served warm/hot with a crusty parmesan cheese crusting top. Generous portion. It was naughty and had way too much butter in it! = delicious. But in truth was heavier than other croissants. The big cinnamon roll was over the top and too sweet and heavy to face after a weekend of indulgences. While it was hot and sticky and delicious, I would actually skip this next time. Of course, that may be because I had just indulged in eating the WHOLE Ham and Cheese croissant. The banana cost $2. The Energy Boost (green juice) with fennel, kale, etc was pretty refreshing and tasty if you like this kind of thing. $8 read more

This bar is centrally located between the registration area and the room entrance. It is excellent for people watching and/or meeting someone before heading out. Their food options are a bit limited, but I did enjoy the shrimp cocktail, I am giving it 4 stars as I think the cocktail sauce could use a little more flavor. I ordered a pomegranate martini, it was 'ok', no complaints...i didn't realize we could have just ordered a few pieces of bread for $2 - This isn't really the place to eat but it is fun to drink and people watch which are 2 of my favorite things to do in Las Vegas!! read more
