| - CLIQUE is a great little lounge/club & cocktail bar that recently opened on the casino floor of The Cosmo. While they are a cocktail bar located inside the hotel, they are not associated with the others (Vesper, Chandelier, Bond). They have a DJ spinning remixes of old and new favorites, from hip hop to 80's hair bands. Dancing is encouraged, adequate open space but there isn't a specific dance floor. They have someone checking ID's and for dress code at the front, and while they may require you to dress appropriately once you are inside the atmosphere is a bit rambunctious (the lounge is curtained from the casino).
They have two parts to their cocktail program, table side and a regular cocktail list. Our group wasn't all on the same page (as for table side, there is a minimum of 1 drink per person in your group it was explained) so we all ordered off the regular cocktail list. While the barrel smoked table side option looked good, at $30/cocktail that is one of the most expensive cocktails I've seen on a menu (it is in a club and it takes some time to make, so it's understandable). Our group of 4 ordered nearly every one of their non-table side libations. which are all essentially punches (sour, sweet, strong, weak, spice).
Started with the Benny Blanco, which is tequila blanco, pineapple chili shrub, velvet falernum, lemon and seltzer. The ratio of seltzer seemed excessive, which muted the other flavors, it really needed just a splash.
Moved on to the One Night Stand, which is mezcal, aperol, lemon, grapefruit, rosemary and pompelmo (grapefruit) soda. This was a much more balanced drink and you even get a sprig of rosemary to enhance it.
One of the reasons we were interested in this place is they have honey sriracha popcorn, which just sounds amazing. They didn't serve it when we went at night (food service cut off a little earlier than I would've expected for a weekend), but we went back the following day and ordered it. The flavor is as we expected, sweet at first with a fiery finish. Only drawback is that it's from a pre-made batch they've made earlier in the day or whenever, as it didn't come out warm and there were minimal large pieces of popcorn, like you would find in a cracker jack box. Not sure if I'd order it again (my wife would, she loves all popcorn), but if they would've made it fresh it could really elevate it.
Overall, a fun place to grab a drink, relax, dance and have fun with friends. Cocktails are interesting enough but are more reminiscent of what you'd get at a dance club rather than a cocktail bar.
