On today’s episode of Eat. Talk. Repeat.
A couple of weeks ago, John posted his 55 Essential Restaurants of Las Vegas on eatinglv.com. This week's episode is the bar list to go with it. Our resident bar fly, James Reza, is back with his 50 essential Las Vegas bars, and we go through the list alphabetically over a round of absinthe.
James's list is about bars that matter, not just bars that are hot right now. It includes the oldest liquor license in town (Atomic Liquors), a 1970s fern bar with live jazz and a water wheel (Dispensary Lounge), and the debate over who brought hot wings to Vegas (Four Kegs). Along the way: Bar Ginza, Frankie's Tiki Room, Double Down Saloon, Herbs & Rye, Golden Steer and its COVID mannequins, Liquid Diet, Nocturno, Piero's Monkey Bar, Silver Stamp's Halloween haunt, Sand Dollar Lounge, and why downtown has become the best drinking neighborhood in Las Vegas.
