Atomic Liquors

At one time, people could sit on the roof of Atomic Liquors and watch the mushroom clouds from the atomic blasts at the Nevada Test Site. Those days are long gone, but the bar remains and it still offers patrons the chance to watch something interesting from the patio: the crowd passing by on Fremont Street. Inexpensive and no-frills, this is the place for a large selection of craft beers along with a well-stocked bar helmed by knowledgeable bartenders. Atomic Liquors is the oldest freestanding bar in Las Vegas and got its name because of those famous viewing parties on the roof. The bar was renovated not long ago, but only to give things a face-lift, not a complete re-do. The "dive" vibe is very much alive here, and that's on purpose.
