Dim lighting, cozy leather seating, minimalist art and eclectic music create a seductively mysterious ambiance, and the diverse clientele are mostly locals seeking a laid-back evening away from the Vegas "scene." The drink menu features delectable punch bowls and creative cocktails with distinctive flavor profiles that consistently impress. Return guests will always find something new and special since the menu change seasonally. A live DJ plays nightly Tuesday through Saturday, so you can enjoy music with your delicious cocktail. One of the bar's most-mentioned features is the front door, which some people have a hard time finding. It's a large bronze door, but there are no handles--just push to get in.
