YES! I love craft cocktail bars and you can tell when you belly up to this bar that you're going to get unique drinks when you see all of the bottles and jars with fresh syrups and ingredients waiting to be muddled and shaken.
I was in dire need of a hot tea toddy being that my vacation was getting it's butt kicked by a really bad cold. Luckily, the Vesper Bar is right at the bottom of the elevator for the West Tower at the Cosmopolitan. I asked the bartender if he had hot tea, he did. I asked if he could make me some kind of hot tea toddy with bourbon, he could. It was lovely. He said they were out of a lot of ingredients (like honey and different tea flavors) which is the only reason I went four star instead of five, but he did an awesome job with what he had and subbed some Agave Nectar for honey.
It was exactly what I needed that night and I had two!
Bartenders were friendly. Prices were on the higher side, but no higher than any other strip bar, especially in a fancy schmancy hotel like the Cosmo.
Love this bar and will TOTALLY be back when I'm in town.
