| - Never in million years would I have thunk find some true Jazz music here in Vegas more less in dive bar. Most grateful for my friends in life too make the suggestion too end birthday night getting our dance on here at Cellar Lounge. It good thing had our dancing shoes on because just happen that night had wedding party so no tables too sit down. Really once hear the sounds of Billy Ray Charles last thing you want too do is sit down. I am no means music mogul! LOL!!!! One thing that speaks true too southern blues/jazz is seeing three piece band. Drummer, bass, and guitar/lead singer. I never been too jazz festival more less New Orleans. I can tell you is seeing the bass guy just killing it, sitting down lay back rocking it (not sing backup just doing his thing on bass), and then the guitar/lead singer Billy can not only rock guitar riff but guy can sing. Not forget about the Drummer that guy does great job too. Lot of times felt like hearing some BB king or rocking it on bourbon street jazz festival going from one bar too the next bar. They played one song acoustic that was literally mind blowing End of the Road by Boyz II Men. The crowd me included belting out the chorus line. Amazing. In little dive be amazing authentic blues/jazz music. My friend mention that Billy has even won award for his music or writing credit. Any case if looking for place too chill, relax, hear some awesome blues/jazz live, and best part is there no cover charge too see these guys. I feel they put so much more heart into the music then any cheesy cover band you see on the strip or hotel period in Vegas hotel lounge.
Mention dive this place has all the characteristic of one for me. It not exactly in the most lovely part of Vegas. Talk about lack of signage outside its so tiny that if not looking can easily pass it. Once you get too the front door interesting cause Cellar you literally walk down flight of stairs like going too Cellar. Inside find really not that big of bar. One main island that has machines all around, some spots not machines sit down, no real central theme or least I never got vibe of one, and in one corner have the band sets up with small dance area in front. They have some booths and tables that sit down watch the band. Talk about low ceiling if giant or hate smoke might not be ideal bar. The drinks are all reasonable price! Sure they serve food but we came here for the band and get our groove on. The bartenders were all friendly and got our drinks in timely manner.
HUGE fan of the Cellar Lounge even after just one visit. Look forward too bringing group of friends just chill, relax, hear great music, great friends, and great times.
