Nice bar in the lobby of Encore (hence the name) and right next to the elevators to the guest rooms. It's a great option to sit and have some drinks or some small eats while waiting for your friends to arrive. I sat here for almost 2 hours waiting for my girlfriends, so I opted for some drinks. They have a good selection of cocktails, so I can't complain.
However, smoking is allowed at this bar, so I couldn't breathe a lot of the times. They need to ventilate it a bit better. The red tufted lounge in the center of the bar was nice but I had some skeevy guys come talk to me. Nothing the bar can do, but just an FYI if you want to be left alone, don't sit there, lol.
Then I came back again the next night after a few drinks and had some of their beef skewers and it wasn't bad. The place is nice, they just need to ventilate the smoke a bit better.
