| - I really hate comparing places like this to locations in San Diego, but Vegas you've got a lot to learn about craft cocktail creations.
If you're somewhat familiar with the District or GVR for that matter, you probably know Due and Proper used to be the old Al's Garage. Now it's turned into what my brother likes to call the "Haunted Mansion" from Disneyland.
The decor is cool, the drinks are ok, and the bartending isn't the best. I came here on Saturday and the place wasn't very busy... yet. I finally got the bartender's attention after about what seemed like 10 minutes and ordered a measly Vodka & Soda.
After I got my order, I found and studied the craft cocktails menu and noticed an intriguing looking drink called, "The Dead Rabbit". This was a mix of carrot juice, pepper, and some other forgettable ingredients. This drink had a beautiful color and great presentation, but almost no flavor. It's like getting a fancy sports car only to find out that engine is powered by your feet. Not worth the effort. The rest of the night I stuck with Vodka and Soda.
This place eventually got packed, but we were lucky enough to grab a booth. From here on out, it was another fun filled bar night. The service at the booth was awesome, almost too good because I walked out of Due and Proper feeling, "Stewed and Proper".
I will be back, and upon my return I will try another craft cocktail. I mean there's always time for a second chance. Hence the reason why you can update reviews, right?
