I have been to Beauty Bar LA many times, but just moved to Vegas, and am giving this one a try. It's a kitschy, small bar with a serious lean toward hipster.
I got a vodka tonic ($5) and a vodka rockstar ($6). These prices didn't seem outrageous to me at all, and the bartenders were very friendly. You know, for hipsters.
We were there for roller derby night (Valentines), and it was hilarious! It was basically a bunch of semi-coked out dirty hipsters in booty shorts and sweatbands, skating around all willy nilly. I had a blast, and will absolutely go next time they have roller skating.
The only drawback was the $5 cover at the door. For a place that's so small and really wasn't crowded, that seemed a bit ridiculous. On the other hand, it was only $5, not $15 or $20, like I've been quoted at Downtown (the bar on Las Vegas and Fremont, right around the corner).
The music was perfect for rollerskating, and included a bunch of 70's, 80's and 90's hits (like No Diggity, Jesse's Girl, and Jackson 5 songs).
Like I said, if you're a big fan of, say, Tabu...you'll hate this place. Consider yourself warned, mainstream Vegas crowd.
