If you like craft cocktails this is the place for you! Jackie and Amber really took great care of us. And Noble working the door makes your experience great as well. Music is good and not so loud you cant talk to each other.

Fantastic cocktails, the staff was amazing... its quiet, cozy, has an awesome little speakeasy backroom to hang out in. This was a grand random find... well worth take a few steps of the main drag to check it out.

Pre Covid review: Very intimate lounge type speakeasy. Visited last year and had a wonderful time. The cocktails were amazing and the waitress offered great suggestions based on our tastes. However we were in town again yesterday and thought wed give it another try since we enjoyed everything so much last year, but the atmosphere was completely different and downright rude. The place was not even close to being crowded so we sat at the bar. TWO bartenders looked straight at us a couple times and never acknowledged our existence. One even stood right in front of us to fill some water, looked us in the eye, the proceeded to talk to another customer two stools down. There was no hey, Ill be right with you or anything. So we decided to get up and leave. The drinks are not cheap and the place is not busy. Thats no way to treat repeat paying customers. Im very disappointed!

The @downtowncocktailroom is a hidden gem in downtown Las Vegas. A private entrance in the alleyway will lead you to one of Downtown‘s best kept secrets frequented by Las Vegas industry insider’s. Enjoy the seasonal cocktail menus with unique drinks that you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re flying solo, it won’t take you long to make new friends in this cozy hideaway.

Dont worry if its busy, it is worth the wait. This place has a good feel to it. Ambience reminds me of San Diegos scene.

Top notch. Wonderful atmosphere. Incredibly caring and professional staff. Warm and welcoming environment. And very inexpensive, especially given the quality of their ingredients, the prime real estate location, and the wonderful history and ambiance of DCR.I could not recommend it more highly, especially Jackie and Desiree. Tell them both that I say hi when you go to see them. And go NOW!

Our favorite place in Vegas! We discovered DCR 5 years ago when we first moved to Vegas and it’s been our spot ever since. We love loungy atmosphere and rotating seasonal drink menu of DCR and upbeat vibe of Sip and Tip. Weekend Dj entertainment is awesome.See you on Saturday

Ive been here a few times. Most recent was last night. Met up with a friend for drinks & to catch up. Bartender Amber was great. She gabbed with me while I waited for my friend. She made great drink recommendations and kept our water glasses full as well (important for this light weight). She also gave us a tip about our dinner destination.Atmosphere is super relaxed. I have attended events which were very loud and crowded here, but last night was nice and chill.

Came to the Downtown Cocktail Room on a suggestion from a local Lyft driver, and so glad we did! Of course, it’s super fun that the door can be easy to miss - and hard to figure out! But we totally walked right by the whole establishment! So make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the red downtown sign.We tried a traditional pour of absinthe, and were pleasantly surprised! It was busy even on a Wednesday night, but the staff were very friendly and upbeat. There’s a very nice lounge feel to the whole place!

Review №21

Overall; satisfying to locate, delicious drinks, outstanding staff and refreshing atmosphere.Mysterious and a tad speakeasy to locate, this is a nice break from busy Fremont Street. Its dim, its intimate, its fairly quiet.. its refreshing, really. This place has regulars for a reason. I relied on the knowledgable staff to navigate me through the slightly strange winter menu. With their help, I got unique drinks that matched with my tastebuds and preferences.Enjoy a drink under dramatic drapery and cozy conversation with the company of candles. The drinks are delicious, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is alluring with intrigue.

Review №22

This is a hidden gem in in the middle of Downtown Las Vegas. I say hidden because the exterior is very unassuming. Its also kind of hard to figure out how to get in. However it is the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. It is loads of fun and the drink menu is perfect. They have old school style straight up Absinthe. That is what we were looking for and surprisingly its hard to find in Vegas without something mixed into it.

Review №25

I was there for Halfie Hour (love puns!). I loved the hidden entrance and the dim atmosphere that led to the mystique of this small hidden gem. Had Bloom Anyway, which had jalapeno infused tequila which gave it a slight spicy taste that lingers on your tongue for a bit. It aso came with prickly pear syrup and guava soda. Im a social drinker and this drink was large and strong and I was set for the rest of the night. At $6.50, it was a steal! My companion had Hello Daddy, Hello Mom. It was very visually appealing and I loved the coconut whipped cream and black lava salt on top. Unfortunately, this drink was just too crazy strong for me and lacked sweetness. If youre hungry, skip this place and come later. It only comes with pretzels, nuts,olives, etc. Nothing that would sustain you fr the night, but great for noshing with cocktails.

If you are looking to find a nice lounge away from the usual ruckus of downtown Las Vegas this is the place to go. Right off of Fremont Street you can enjoy the novelty attractions there, and come to Downtown Cocktail Room to relax with a well made drink. The bartenders may be busy, but they are still attentive. I started with an extra dirty Martini, which was probably the most well balanced Ive had. The music, though not my preferred genre was easy listening, and not too loud. Bathrooms were relatively clean, and the overall setting was nice. This place seems to attract a good crowd, and not the horribly drunk and disorderly. Good time.

This bar is a relief after being on the strip for any length of time. It seems like real people AKA locals probably frequent the place. The DJ on Sat night was good and not too loud (very important in a small space). There is a hidden back bar area, which is very cool and the cocktails are delicious! Creative and very well executed! Also, not horribly expensive. The women’s restroom is...a unique experience.

They have some pretty interesting signature cocktails. The best part is that literally everything on the menu is half off during happy hour. The drinks did take about 15 minutes to come out but you cant really complain for the price. The server did apologize for the wait.

Not a easy place to get into since theres no door handle. If you make it in though youll be in libation heaven! Old school way of bartending that seems to have been lost in many establishments. The bartenders are friendly, kind, professional, and excellent mixologist. Some of the best cocktails in Vegas are made right here.

We chose the “DCR Squad Select” every time and were not disappointed. This means the bartender chooses your concoction of their choice. The bartenders and waitstaff are very experienced. I would highly recommend this stop the next time you’re in Vegas for an elegant cocktail. Happy hour is half price all cocktails which means each one is only $6. The entrance door is a little difficult to find but once you do, it opens a cave of wonders!

Like many had to you tube how to get in. Which is the wood to your left, but beyond that the cocktail menu and help from bar staff is unmatched in vegas. Their happy hour specials beat a single drink on the strip by it self.

Okay, we are smart folk, but upon walking to this location from the nearby ATOMIC LOUNGE, we were baffled at how to enter. There is a door/metal wall, that apparently opens out. We were puzzled, and I jokingly said it was like arriving at CAPOS restaurant ( secret entrance). Finally, a gal. ( our server Alanna) saw us and let us in. Instantly the aroma of incense hit your nose (my boyfriend hates incense--gives him a headache) but we stayed for 1 drink. It was happy hour so everything was half price and I wanted a cocktail. I chose the PALOMA---ooohh la la--was it delicious. Within 5-10 minutes we acclimated to the incense, and enjoyed our beverages. My boyfriend chose the Great Basin beer, which is local and he said tasty. We also ordered the spiced nuts which in turn beckoned me to order another PALOMA. When we initially arrived, there were 6-8 other patrons in the lounge. After about 20 minutes it quickly filled up and laughter and conversation overtook the space. Our drinks were expedited quickly and the service (Alanna), professional and friendly. I would definately check this place out... oh yes, the ladies room was dark...but modern...cool. Put this on your tourist card, its different, but worth the visit.

Ive been visiting DCR since they opened in 2006(?) and after this great visit..its time to give some props...My most recent visit was Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020 at 10 PMish: The two women mixologists behind the bar were friendly, social and made some bomb cocktails. We were talking about Yelpers being all sensitive and sending bad reviews with no actual constructive feedback for businesses to work with. A big shout out to both of you for your professionalism and skills behind the bar...The infamous entrance has the hidden door you push in from the outside. Its very dark/dimly lit which provides this cool speak easy vibe. The furniture, decord, lighting and bar area gives an upscale classy vibe for the drinkers. One the weekends, theyll pump house music through the area. Loud but not too loud to carry a conversation as you get your cocktail on.My current DCR Cocktail Champ is the Die Like a Samurai: Sake, Gin, House Made Paris Tea Syrup, Lemon Zest. The Sake is warm which I think enhances the taste because its paired up well with the Tea Syrup and Gin. Very creative and dangerously tasty as a couple of these can get me to Uber home level quickly. Lets be honest, the name is also bad a$$. I love Japanese culture and this name popped for me on the menu.lolOverall, this is still a great place to grab a cocktail in the downtown area and Im glad that its survived through the years. Ive been here for dates, pre-gaming, last drink for the night, etc and DCR still delivers. Cheers!

This is the bar Ive always been looking for in town. Im a Vegas local and me and my buddies finally came here and it was everything I hoped it would be. Cocktails are $10 or $12, the bartender is extremely knowledgeable and made me an impromptu drink off the top of his head and it was incredible. Great chill lounge music from a live DJ and dim lights. Great place to bring a date. This is my new spot!

Came for happy hour (4-7pm) which includes half of the entire menu. Ordered 6-7 different drinks between my partner and me, all of them were creative, tasty, and strong. The bartender was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. This was by far the best bar experience during our Vegas trip. I highly recommend checking it out!

My goodness... is all I can say. We flew in to LV to find some of the finest craft and original cocktails Vegas had to offer, and this place does not disappoint. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and the ingredients top notch. Also HALFY HOUR! all cocktails half off during their happy hour times. This is just an incredible find and a must go if you enjoy a well made cocktail.

Calling all cocktail snobs! Why pay $15 for a margarita mix drink when you can get a true cocktail for less? And halfy hour every_single_item is half price between 4-7? I just missed the halfy hour but was still impressed with drink prices.

Waitresse need customer service training.If you dont have correct ingredients for drinks you should inform customer before you make, serve and charge. When you serve drink look customer in face to see if OK. When you are informed drink is not ok waitress should offer a fresh or alternative drink before customer has to ask.After we moved from bar to seats we were ignored until we left. No waitor/waitress asked if we needed another drink.

Downtown cocktail room is a hidden gem. We have definitely made it a must stop location for our group.

Review №86

Cool spot. It gets 5 stars despite a few complaints because its (along with Park, Atomic, and Oak & Ivy) one of my mainstays when taking visitors on a cocktail tour of Downtown. The drinks are fun and interesting, and a great variety of styles to choose from. Its also always fun to let your guests struggle to find the door. Due to its inconspicuous nature, its also one of the few places that wont be a madhouse on busy nights. I last went on St. Patricks day. Everywhere else on the block was a joke. Packed in like drunk sardines. Downtown Cocktail room was busy, but we got seats fairly quickly.BIGGEST COMPLAINT: the policy on cigar and pipe smoking. Why? Why is it any different than smoking a cigarette? Pipe smoke certainly smells better than a cigarette, and many people think cigars do as well. Yall are trying to run a classy establishment. Act like it.

We had such a great time at this place . The place has good vibes and the music was on point . The drinks are particularly strong and very creative .

Cant believe I never reviewed this place before! It was truly the highlight of the 21st birthday! Being able to drink absinthe at midnight (as it is the ONLY place in Vegas that serves it that late!) for my first legal drink was made an experience Ill never forget. From my bartender who made a ridiculous game out of sobering up and provided wonderful conversation, to the DELICIOUS Pumpkin Spiced drink my sister ordered... Downtown Cocktail Room is truly second to none.I give this place full stars in hopes that youll give it a try. Its truly a hidden gem that I feel needs a LOT more love.I hope to return soon and Ill bring some Mansinthe! Lol
