Herbs and Rye seems to be the last bastion of the creative mixology in Las Vegas. At times, it almost seems like a school for young up-and-coming cocktail artists, marshaled by the seasoned head bartender.
The cocktail menu is refreshing in its focus on classic and prohibition era cocktails, but if you are in the mood for something more modern or unique, the bartender will mix you up something fancy and catering to your specific tastes.
The atmosphere is very calm and cozy, a great place to relax after dinner or to recover from a taxing experience in a more 'energetic' bar. The music I can't quite remember, but I'd like to say it was Jazz. All I do remember is that it was great background music for a conversation.
I hope the word spreads more for this spot, they deserve a place in the Las Vegas local's scene.
