Great cocktails. Have brought a couple groups of friends here and everyone enjoyed their drinks.

White Whale ended up being one of the highlights of my Vegas trip. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between elevated and relaxed -- you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. Miguel, our bartender, was amazing and crafted drinks perfectly tailored to our tastes. The cocktails were thoughtful and beautifully balanced, and the service was genuinely attentive without ever feeling rushed. It's the kind of place where you can settle in and actually enjoy the experience. I'd absolutely come back on my next visit. read more

You want some good cocktail vibes, this is definitely a place to check out. They have done a lot with this place to give it a little more light and have opened up the seating area a little more. Went here on a Friday evening to start off a bit of downtown fun. The hubby and I have had this on our list of places to go since it opened, and just had not made it downtown. We were not disappointed. I started off with the "Old Mcintyre" $15. I do like more boozy, brown drinks and then one did not disappoint. Cognac, Cointreau, vermouth and lemon; refreshing with a bite; a great way to start. I did get a bartender's choice for my second drink, and it was good; I'm sorry to say I don't remember everything that was in it. Since it was so early we were out in the Main room this time around, but I do think on our next trip we may try to go later and hopefully make it back to the Captain's Quarters. I'm sure we will be back! read more

This is a very interesting and amazing spot we had planned in advanced. I found this place on TikTok of all places because we were looking for fun and unique spots to visit. We had a reservation which we happened to be the first people in this bar. I liked that because everyone working told us the purpose and reasoning behind what they do. I wish I could remember names but a few people helped us throughout the night. The first bar tender that helped us explained that he would ask questions step by step about what we wanted to drink. After they got an idea, they would make us a special cocktail. The vibe was very yacht club like and they played very mellow music which was a very cool vibe. All three of us went and answered each question and all got a different drink. It was fun and the bar tender was very kind throughout the process. Each drink was tasty in its own way. That bar tender left and a new one helped us. He too was very kind and we had great conversations with him. He asked if we wanted another round and we wanted to see his style. His drinks were good too! This was such a unique experience while in Vegas. If you like picking your drink instead of the surprise drink, they have another bar to order. It was a cool spot and I definitely reckoned. read more

They have a great location right at the heart of downtown, this spot delivers craft cocktails that easily hold their own against anything on the Strip--without the attitude or inflated prices. The menu is smart and creative, but the real move is talking to the bartender. I gave them a general vibe of what I like, and they nailed it with a perfectly balanced, spirit-forward cocktail that was both inventive and smooth. Everything here feels intentional: top-shelf spirits, fresh ingredients, house-made elements, and crystal-clear ice. The drinks are polished but not overworked, and you can actually taste the craftsmanship in every sip. The atmosphere hits that downtown sweet spot--dim lighting, great music, and an effortlessly cool crowd. The best part the cool glass doors in the bathroom one of those that changes from clear to foggy . So neat!! It's upscale without being stuffy, and the staff makes you feel welcome whether you're a cocktail nerd or just escaping the chaos of Fremont for a minute. If you're downtown and want a real cocktail--not a sugar bomb or tourist trap--this is the place. Easily one of the best drinks I've had in Vegas. read more

Love this new spot! It replaced the old downtown cocktail room and is a super cool vibe. They have a great selection of drinks, photo op spots and its worth a visit. The bartenders were very friendly, and service was on point. Its way better than the cocktail room and much more welcoming:) read more

White Whale - Espresso Martini (signature drink) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I like the whole vibe of this place and what they are doing. Very cozy speak easy type situation but it's craft cocktails and not just whiskey. They have something for everyone and they have a happy hour. Can't beat a $9 aperol spritz. The service is so good. Very attentive and friendly. We would definitely come back. They have a whole nother bar called "the captains quarters" that opens at 8pm. I'm giving 4 stars because the bar stools were the small metal ones from say ikea- and they are not comfortable. If you're doing craft cocktails- have some cushy bar stools!!! 10/10. Go get a drink from bartender Evan!! read more

I was super excited to try this place after briefly speaking to Miguel.... However, when my guest and I first walked in we waited about 8 mins because there was no one to greet us. We kept being overlooked & another customer advised us it was open seating. As we sat down we waited a total of 18 mins before I had to get the attention of Georgia. She did apologize and comp'd our first round . Very thoughtful but the bad taste was already in my mouth . I did appreciate how delicious the cocktails were and I truly enjoyed Georgia's personality. She really try to turn our experience around and I appreciate that . After we finished we took a look at the speakeasy and it was adorable! I love the fact there is no menu & based on your conversation with the bartender they will craft you a cocktail based on what you mentioned during the conversation which is so cool & personable. Overall, I will consider giving this place another chance based on the speakeasy and I am aware they just opened. read more

This might be my new hangout bar. The drinks are delicious, decently priced and the menu rotates every few months. Also, the music was 90s & 2000s hip hop and r&b and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The conversations bar in the back is a must experience! That particular area in the bar has no menu and the bartender crafts a drink based on the flavors or kind of style of drinks you want. This is a great bar and I'm glad I got experience this. I will be returning! read more

Beautiful and cozy venue opened for less than a year. I was the first guest of the day and Evan was behind the bar and I was happy to see how passionate he is about their bar. He made me a Paper Plane. They have a great menu with some signature cocktails and some classics but they have a full bar to make any drink you want. I also had a beer and a delicious Mai Tai (picture) made by Miguel. You can feel when the bartender love their craft. I also would like to thank Alejandro for the amazing customer service. I will go back with friends after 8pm to enjoy the Captain's Quarters. It's another room, another bar inside White Whale with a different concept: There's no menu and the bartender will make your cocktail based on a quick conversation about what you like. I'm excited to go back. I live in Vegas and finding great places to go is challenging sometimes. Thanks Evan, Miguel and Alejandro for the top notch hospitality. (You can park your car at the public parking lot on the corner of Las Vegas Blv x Carson). read more

White Whale - Mai Tai - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

So decided to try White Whale and it was just okay. First the entrance to the bar is not in the front but around the corner in the alley which unfortunately smells like urine because it's an alley. The ambiance inside is decent and the bartenders were nice but the drinks were underwhelming. I ordered a drink called Leaving Tijuana it tasted similar to a pre made margarita with a better presentation. My fiancée got a Spicy Sammy which was pretty good but ultimately the drinks were a bit overpriced and only decent on average. I will say they had a pretty decent music playlist. read more

White whale is a new cocktail bar by Fremont that will cement itself as a go-to for any cocktail enthusiast. They artistically craft each menu item and you can taste all the hard work and experience put into each cocktail! Jules made us feel very welcomed and Daniel was really knowledgeable and guided us through the menu giving us insight into the story of White Whale. I really enjoyed talking about different bars with the same feel and approach to cocktails. White Whale is more than a bar, it is an experience. One of my top cocktail bar experiences of all time! read more

Really fun experience. The drinks were about $20-$25 each. We just got two, one each. It was an intimate atmosphere. They inly had the bar part open but it was cool. The womans bathroom is insane in a cool way. It is all mirrors and glass. Loved it. read more

We went to the soft opening of White Whale and my husband and I were impressed with the Hospitality! Evan was great with explaining the concept behind White Whale and recommending us great drinks. Highly recommend the Gin Dirty Martini!! & if you're indecisive about a drink having the bartender make you one with what you enjoy drinking was the choices we had after our first round. We truly appreciated how the ambiance was similar to what was originally here. Being a local in Vegas there's very few places that feel like they are truly for the community and we're happy to see and hear that White Whale does. This will definitely be one of our regular spots. read more

Fantastic bar that has taken over the old dcr location. Focused on craft cocktails and friendly service. I had 2 cocktails during their happy hour ( gold rush and carijillo for $9 each) and they were both delicious. Both of the bartenders (evan was very helpful) were friendly and held great conversation. They also gave me great locations for other bars and restaurants in the area. I came back later after the show that I went to their speakeasy the Captains Quarters and enjoyed my time there as well. The captains quarters doesn't have a menu per se. The bartenders ask you some questions about your preferences and reccomend a drink based on you responses. Happy hour from 4-6. Captains quarters 8pm -close read more

They did it right in terms of drinks and energy! Miguel was incredible and did a great job keeping us drinking and hanging out. Make sure to come and try their espresso martini! read more

Cool place, as was the place that was here before, as will the place after, I am sure. Def hit happy hour, a bargain, & get the $9 margarita, drink one, drink many, but dont fear, you'l never have to worry about a DUI after a couple of these. Oh and the wait staff is super friendly, when they are there. read more

Definitely an intimate place to have a drink that's for the instagram and TikTok crowd with cute photo ops with neon signs and seating areas. Their couches are insanely comfortable and their playlists bring the throwback vibes. Our server was super friendly and recommended the Spicy Sammie to me, which was light and refreshing with a little spicy kick at the end. They definitely air on the more mixologist like cocktails but at $15, you do get the value there. They also do split checks and table service was is great too. read more

Such a chill atmosphere and all the staff were super friendly & accommodating. There was a hidden speakeasy in the back where the bartenders made their own custom drinks for you, how cool! Mine made me the perfect drink made with ginger & lemon it was delicious! Walter was amazing and made my first time there an experience I'll never forget. This is definitely my new favorite spot read more

Stopped by this place while we were downtown for a couple of cocktails!! Leaving Tijuana was crisp and refreshing. They also have drink specials and a DJ on the weekends so we'll be back for another visit!! read more

Absolute world-class bar. Found myself here Christmas night on a trip to Vegas and I could not have had a better night. Perfect atmosphere and nothing but aces behind the bar - talk about hitting the jackpot. No trip there will be complete for me again without saddling up to the Captain's Quarters for a drink or three :) read more

Having gone back a few times; I can say the drinks are consistently immaculate, bartenders are epic and it still has that friendly neighborhood vibe that I love. It's hard to find a place that I can sit and hangout for hours but this place is definitely that. Honestly it's my new favorite/go-to! read more

We first met Evan and Daniel while they were still at the Poodle Room at the Fontainebleau. Both are incredibly kind and talented at their craft. Loved all the drinks we had, and they'll even whip up a custom drink with your flavor preferences. I highly recommend checking this spot out - it's a cool intimate space with reasonably priced and creative drink concepts and a live DJ. read more

Vegas definitely has lots of options when it comes to drinking and entertainment. With that being said, I can't tell you enough about how amazing this new bar is that I recently stumbled upon. The overall look and feel of this place is amazing and the staff is top notch. I met Walter behind the bar and he whipped me up a special cocktail that hit the spot. Everyone was helpful and the place was popping on a Friday night. If you're in the downtown area, make sure to check out this new bar. Great drinks and the staff will make you feel like family with their hospitality. read more

One of the best new spots for drinks downtown! The cocktails are excellent and reasonably priced. The bartenders are incredibly friendly and engaging, making the experience even better. They've also just opened a new hidden bar experience in the back called the Captain's Quarters, and it was fantastic. There isn't a menu in the back space, drinks are made based on your conversations with the bartender as they ask question about the flavors you are looking for. read more

Went for friends and family and was nothing short of impressed. The staff from the hostess to the bartenders to the GM/Owners were all incredibly hospitable and the room had a great vibe. Can't wait until they open up the other side of the bar. These guys replaced a legendary bar (DCR) and they did with style and encompassed the downtown vibe/scene. Will absolutely be back! read more
