| - I found the Barrymore after looking for the perfect spot to eat lunch upon our arrival to Vegas right here on Yelp. Though, not sure why it says dressy, it's definitely a more business casual/trendy vibe.
WHAT a find! Definitely off the beaten path, but a cheap cab ride (from city center) to a pretty great meal, vintage decor and a terrific bunch of people. A touch of class and personality in Vegas.
Don't be surprised if people can't find it and make jokes about Drew Barrymore when you ask where it is. As soon as you turn right onto Convention Center Drive, it'll be on your right hand side almost immediately.
For lunch, we started with the lobster mac and cheese. Now, I'm lactose intolerant -- but I will have you know, if I didn't have anywhere else to go that day, I would've eaten it all! YUM. I opted for the lobster roll and my friend chose the burger. Both were the perfect serving size and tasty. We also enjoyed the signature Barrymore drink which was concocted from Gentleman Jack (which I usually dislike) orange marmalade believe it or not and some other ingredients. Don't judge! It was lunch in Vegas -- cocktails are acceptable this early ;)
After speaking with the manager, it turns out they do dinner up pretty big as well. Jerome (I think) runs a tight ship and really pays attention to cleanliness.
While sitting at the bar after lunch to finish my cocktail, I met Monica who was really chill, friendly and helpful. Behind the bar is a custom made TV within a vintage looking gold frame. When the tv isn't on -- it's a mirror. There's a couple of these inside. I totally want one for inside the house. I couldn't decide what I wanted to drink next (since now we were in full swing of conversation and my previous glass was empty) when I asked if she had a few particular items to make my self-created cocktail, the Hendy. She executed perfectly and the manager agreed it was the epitome of the perfect summer drink. I truly hope to see it on the menu then :)
We also met Billy, the owner, who also owns Holsteins in the Cosmo. (where we ended up for lunch the following day). Turns out the bottomless bloody Mary I was eying, the Hillbilly, which uses beef brisket infused vodka, is named after him. Can't say I tried it -- but had I been there for brunch, I certainly would.
Overall -- this new spot is definitely one I'll continue to visit when I'm in Vegas.
