| - I keep telling myself that 5 stars is a high rating and that I give too many establishments this perfect batting average, but I must say Khoury's definitely deserves a full boat of stars.
I recently quasi-relocated to Las Vegas from Southern California, and I have been searching and searching for a place to replace my old watering hole. While searching throughout Las Vegas, I continue upon the same problem: people go to bars and drinking establishments not for the social aspect (which is what I am searching for), but they go for the gaming. It's frustrating. People will tell me to try this place or that place because the bartender knows everyone. They aren't wrong when they say that; everyone knows the bartender and the bartender knows everyone, but the patrons don't know each other. I am accustomed to a completely different atmosphere much like the show Cheers: a place where everybody knows your name. I want to be able to walk into a place and not only know whoever it is serving the booze, but I want to have friends there I can socialize with. THIS place is the answer to my 6 month long search.
At Khoury's, there isn't gaming. People don't come here to get drunk and gamble away what little money they are making. People come here for fantastic drinks and great company. And all the staff here is fantastic. Shout out to Tara.
The store is 3/4's liquor store and 1/4 "bar". Anything in the store you can buy and drink there for a very nominal corkage fee. By nominal I mean it is still cheaper than going to a regular bar and buying drinks individually. And there prices on beer, wine, and liquor are great.
Check this place out on Wednesday nights for beer tasting nights and Thursdays for wine tasting nights.
Also, if you come with a group of friends or make a group of friends, there are tons of games to play ranging from Uno to cribbage.
While I have only been here twice so far, I know that I will quickly become a regular at Khoury's and I can't wait to continue making new friends while discovering new wines and beers that I will love.
Would I come back to this place? You betchya. I already have my Thursdays marked off on my calendar for wine tasting night.
Would I recommend this place to others? Absolutely. Unless I don't like you and I don't want to see you there. Haha.
