You really can have it both ways in downtown Vegas. Come early in the evening and you will get friendly, knowledgeable bartenders who will serve you some of the best craft cocktails in Vegas, hands down. Come later at night and you get a great lounge with good music, a cool vibe and still great drinks. Probably one of my favorite places to drink in downtown, high quality spirits, a drinks menu of classics and great originals, and quite a few with ingredients made by the bar itself. Spent a good portion of an evening there, and didn't have a single bad drink. Just note there is no floor staff, so if you sit at a chair or couch you need to go to the bar yourself to get a drink, they don't come to you. Otherwise if you like quality cocktaisl this place will not leave you dissapointed.
