| - Enjoy cocktails? Inventive craft cocktails? Elevated a little off casino level of Linq hotel is this circular bar, one of the Strip's few infusion bars. Menu boasts custom ingredients.
Grimlet is a classic gimlet infused with house-made green tea syrup, mint-infused Hendrick's gin, fresh lime, cardomom bitters. Ruby Rose is an infusion martini: rose honey and raspberry-infused Beefeater gin, St. Germain liqueur, cranberry juice, splash of house-made grenadine. Pig Newton (for whiskey and bourbon aficionados) is made with fig-infused Jack Daniel's Honey and ancho-chile Maker's Mark. It's *supposed* to get an extra kick of delicious-ness via bacon salt on the rim. When made right, the concoction is outstanding. When they're out of this special salt and water the thing down? Disappointment.
Wat-a-pear = watermelon- and rosemary-infused Tito's vodka, St. Germain and fresh watermelon juice. Good, if lighter on the alcohol. El Fuego = mango, citrus and jalapeño-infused Sauza tequila, agave nectar, mango purée, house-made sour mix. Apple-cinnamon Old Fashioned = apple cinnamon-infused Bulleit bourbon, 151 rum-soaked cherry and torched orange garnish. Another dessert type is Mint Oreo Martini. The Mule is mint- and ginger-infused Stoli vodka with Domainde Canton liqueur, muddled lime, topped with a splash of ginger beer garnished with candied ginger. At one point, 3535 made a great Bloody Mary. "Garden" version was a tall glass of spicy tomato-ness with two bleu-cheese stuffed olives and a strip of candied peppered bacon. It was served over unique ice cubes, 1.5-inches frozen water blocks.
Their original bar chairs (as seen in following link) were stylish and comfy.

Now? Gone. Replaced by fug brown Naugahyde-ish wobbly stools you can't wait to escape. The alternatives are open lounge round seating, or one of the back booths with monitors airing Screenplay Entertainment, music videos of mostly electronic dance music or pop artists. On certain days a d-j sets up in a corner and blasts tunes.
Having frequented enough since its opening, I'd gladly rate it higher if things were consistent and less hit-and-miss. Trajectory went from very good to 'wth happened to the tasty dranx'. Perhaps the key is getting the right bartender. But still... with all the bar/lounge options in walking distance, 3535 should, and can, be better.
