    Last Friday night, I had friends visiting from California, and like all questionable-but-memorable Vegas decisions, we somehow wandered into Azul Lounge at the Fontainebleau on the north end of the Strip. We weren't planning on it -- but honestly, that's how you know it's going to be a good story. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by live karaoke. And let me tell you, Azul doesn't play around -- they've got a whole list of songs you can choose from. Everything from classics to guilty‑pleasure bangers. In our group, we had one friend who took karaoke way too seriously (every group has that one person), and another who sang like they were auditioning for a talent show that didn't exist. It was perfect. The lounge wasn't crowded at all, which for us was a dream. We're not trying to fight through a crowd or yell over a DJ who thinks volume equals talent. Azul gave us space to breathe, laugh, and enjoy the chaos of our own friend group without an audience. Drink-wise, one of my friends went full Vegas mode and ordered a tequila flight -- because apparently that's who he becomes on vacation. Meanwhile, I stayed loyal to my Belvedere and cranberry like the responsible adult I pretend to be. Both choices were solid. The vibe is moody, intimate, and effortlessly cool -- dim lighting, comfy seating, and a chill atmosphere that feels like a secret hideout from the Strip's usual madness. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear your friends talk... unless they're singing karaoke, in which case all bets are off. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed spot with good drinks, space to breathe, and karaoke that ranges from "wow, they're good" to "wow... they tried," Azul is absolutely worth checking out. We walked in by accident, but we stayed on purpose -- and we'd definitely go back.

    They don't serve food here however I was in Vegas for a work meeting and the girls wanted to grab a drink here before our awards night. The ambiance is definitely so cute!!!! Very aesthetic!! The service was impeccable but again we were some of the few people in the bar at that time. The waiter was very nice and gave us ice waters to go for our rooms. I would definitely go back!

    Decided to try this bar out on a random Friday night. Due to the holidays, the ambiance was holiday themed with Christmas decor all over and holiday focused cocktail menu. The bartender was nice enough to share some recommendations however the drinks were all too sweet. I was amazed Azul wasn't as packed with the ambiance and DJ. However I think the limited holiday menu could attribute to the lack of customers. I ordered something that was not on the holiday menu due to the sweetness and so did my friend. The drinks were alright. Nothing special. For a tequila based bar, I was surprised at the lack of variety. This place is definitely best for the vibes and ambiance however the mixology could use some more work.

    We absolutely love coming here every time we visit Vegas. That being said we always show up right when they open and we are typically one of a few groups in the lounge so our service is always stellar. We love talking to all of the mixologists there and their knowledge of tequilas/mezcal is on point. This last time we ordered different drinks than our normal go to's and they did NOT disappoint. Texico- this one is more on the sweeter side with dried apples and a refreshing taste. Jade Rabbit- this one was a highlight. The egg white foam on top was so creamy and the drink itself was light. Coyote- a version of a spicy margarita. Nothing fancy but if you don't want to venture out of your original box this is a good one. Valencia- light up glass that highlights the blue! A lighter spin on a Blue Hawaiian.

    Ambiance of the bar during Christmas time is delightful and cocktails are tasty. But outside of that I'd stay away. Had drinks here last night and the service was slow for the amount of people that were in the bar. Across the hall there is a pastry shop, i ask my waitress if it's still open i wanted to grab something while we were drinking she said yes it's 24hrs. I proceeded to go get a danish for me and macarons for my lady as we were both having espresso martinis. Get back to the table and take a bite for the front desk host / manager? (Shorter bald guy) to come over to the table and say there's no outside food allowed. Even tho he definitely just watched me walk by him with it in my hands and the server didn't say anything about it and pointed me in the right direction. "I can hold it at the front for you" like no sir you may not hold my bitten danish and macaroons but i just won't eat it. He follows with saying there's server didn't say i could eat there as if i didn't just have a whole conversation with the server about i was getting ready to do. We put the food aside annoyed and said whatever let's have another drink. Simple casamigos on the rocks just to find out they charges $4 for the fucking ice cube a complete joke and will never be back

    Loved this place. Excellent Mezcal and Tequila drinks. Beautiful ambience. Kudos to the bartender Victor and our server Justice.

    Of course I came for the holiday vibes and this place did not disappoint me . The drinks were delicious and the service was great .

    We were getting ready to leave Fontainebleau but decided for a quick stop into Azul. It was the best thing about our visit to this new property. We grabbed two seats at the bar and took a look at their cocktails. One confusing thing was that one of our menus priced everything at $19 and one at $21. I ordered the Last Calvary which was bourbon and kahlua based and very good. The bartender was very nice and explained some of the different tequilas that they had on hand to my partner. There was another bartender that joined during our visit that was also very nice and seemed to know some other patrons from their previous job on the strip. Fontainebleau seems to have poached some great employees from other establishments! As we were leaving it seemed to start picking up a bit. The decor and vibe were nice and would be a great spot to start off the night with friends

    Jade rabbit - so delicious! :)

    Beautiful place to hang-out at and have drinks! They have great service, nice ambiance, and a good dj who played great music! Will be back soon!!! :)

    We came here expecting to have excellent Mezcal based cocktails and we weren't disappointed! I had the Jade Rabbit which I loved and my husband approved of his Valencia. Service is great! We were greeted at the entrance then led to a nice and cozy table at the end corner of the lounge which was good because we had an unobstructed view of the whole place. We were immediately served waters and corn snacks. The drinks didn't take ages to get prepared. It's beautifully decorated. The furniture look expensive and perfect for the place. It's a lounge so it's not bright. The only thing that I'd recommend would be to lower the volume of the music. Oh, they don't serve food at all. Come here for the cocktails and the atmosphere.

    We finally made it to Azul to try their cocktails! We usually either come by when they're closed or on the wrong day, but this time, the stars aligned. Hands down, these were some of the best cocktails I've had on the strip--absolutely amazing. Huge thanks to Victor for the fantastic drinks!

    This year my friends and I have been visiting the few holiday themed bars in the valley and Azul happened to be one of them. We loved the ambiance and the Christmas decorations were perfect. The DJ was playing a mix of Christmas and dance music. It was all so great! Sadly, the drinks were subpar. Some of us didn't even bother finishing them. I ordered the Ponche Navidad and it had, to put it nicely, an interesting taste. The flavors didn't complimented each other at all. Their old fashions were way too sweet and they either used the wrong cherries OR cheap cherries. Nobody liked El Jefe which was basically their take on the classic espresso martini. The best drink of the night was probably the Nutcracker, which included a tasty chocolate peppermint bark. It was still a little too sweet but it was tolerable. Honestly, we couldn't figure this place out as the bartenders had all the right components but weren't able to make great cocktails. Perhaps they need to make some revisions to the ingredients they're using for the holiday drinks. We've also heard of some not so great things about the service here and quickly realized when we got there that there is only 1 server for the entire lounge. Being understaffed is definitely not their fault and they tried their best when we were there, which we really appreciated. Still debating if we should return. This place is so promising, but it seems whoever is managing Azul is totally squandering its potential.

    Sarah was our server and she was o sweet and at tentative. We wanted to try the jade rabbit but they were sold out... she gave us options for other drinks. And bright little snacks for us to snack on while we had a different drink. Kept wishing us a nice flight home

    Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Everything about this place was amazing! At first we had a difficult time finding the place because we were expecting to see a big sign but there was none. Locate the Art's Square sign and walk toward the double doors straight ahead. The vibes are very intimate, emphasizes the arts, and every bartender and server is very friendly, even the hostess! First off, loved their menu booklet. I learned a lot about different drinks. I also loved that they had pictures that went with their drinks too. Seriously, lots of options! I also loved that they gave us a little card that had their most popular drinks based on taste. Our check came in a DVD plastic too, super nostalgic. I have not seen one of these in forever. Lol My friend and I ordered our first cocktail off this card and they were both incredible. I ordered the Crimes of Passion and she ordered the Dreamsicle. I like my cocktails sweet and these were both great. We ordered truffle fries off their small bites menu, which was enough to hold us over. For the second cocktail, my friend ordered the Nocturno Espresso. She liked it a lot, but it wasn't my preference since it was just a little bitter. I ordered what my bartender recommended me. I mentioned liking sweet drinks and he asked if I liked strawberries to which I replied "of course!" He made me a cocktail named the "Two Step" that I couldn't find on their menu but it was exactly the kind of drink I was looking for. We recommend making reservations. We tried to walk-in one night and they had a 30 minute wait, so we ended up booking a reservation on OpenTable for another day. They only take reservations for 6 people or less, this place is intimate after all. Looking forward to stopping in again!

They had completely changed the menu. The reason was because they have a new chef. The food was good, we had the spicy tuna, Caesar salad for starters and the Pan Fried Salmon and Hanger Steak for the main course. The Espresso Martini was fantastic! Only complaint is they haven't updated their menu. It would be helpful if their menu was current because this menu was very limited. They didn't have dessert. We were told no a lot on things we asked for. To me, that's bad. The staff was great and the service was good but I probably won't be back.

Our waitress was super friendly and really encouraged us to try some things because we really weren't sure about the menu. She was super attentive and we really appreciated that. The reason I'm giving this a three star review (and I feel bad doing so) is because I genuinely hated the drinks. Like viscerally hated. The menu really was a struggle as someone who's a gin drinker. There wasn't a lot on the menu which I'm often used to, but the drinks were either cloyingly sweet or incredibly tart and bitter. There seems to lack of balance and there were a lot of really weird flavors that really didn't seem to go together. Now I can't speak on every single drink on the menu, but I did try a couple that are either premixed or on tap and I really struggled with them. I was excited about the ginger drink, and I was given a taste of their homemade ginger beer, and it felt like it was going to burn a hole through my stomach. Which is typically not my reaction to anything gender flavored. I just think the balance of flavors are not quite right and so certain things overpowered other flavors. I ended up really not wanting anything on the menu because everything was so rum based and I really don't like rum, so they offered to make me a cocktail with some flavors that I liked. They told me they had passionfruit, which I was really excited about. It usually is a really nice combination of sweet but not too sweet and good fruity flavor. I had a passionfruit gin drink made, and it was absolutely gorgeous coming out. Unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the passionfruit that they have is on the very sour and tart side (contained by a staff member later), which has never been my experience with passionfruit in the past. One of the things that I told the waitress was that I really don't like sour. I like citrus but not something that is so overly sour that it tastes like I'm eating a warhead. And the drink that was made for me had both lemon and this really tart passionfruit to the point all I could taste was this awful sour flavor. I felt bad and drank it and was not about to ask it off the bill because they were so kind about everything. The drink ended up only being nine dollars and I genuinely wonder if they undercharged me, but I felt a lot better that that's all I paid for it. Aesthetically it was beautiful, but it tasted horrible. I tried my friends drink, which was a play on a margarita with Mezcal, and that was also incredibly bitter and sour. I'm not someone who needs disgustingly sweet drinks, hence me not liking rum, but I do need a balance of sweetness with the other flavors. My friend thought her drink was OK, but she said she wouldn't order it again. I would definitely give this location another shot if I could figure out a drink that would work, but it seems their drinks either are very sour or very sweet and I'm hoping that at some point they will be able to find a good balance between the two.

    My absolute favorite bar of all time! 1000000000000000/10!!!…read more I could live at Dark Sister!!! It is my go to place to hang out with the girls on a night out! If I am in the arts district, I am at Dark Sister (if they're open... sometimes I'm there in the day and they are not open yet and I am sad. lol) It's moody, it's witchy, it's got all the Goth eclectic goodness! I love how it is decorated!!! It's giving dark academia, mixed with a séances, sprinkle in a little bit of dried flowers and top it with a tarot card. They have such a variety of seating, they have large loungey couches in the front, smaller couches with chairs and tables as you go inside, long and larger tables for larger groups in the back, a massive bar area with seating, as well as a gorgeous patio with bar seating as well as tables and loungey bench areas. It is comfy, cozy, and an amazing place to just chill and hang out. The music is always perfect. The lighting is the perfect dark dim. I have never felt more at home somewhere in my life. It is my happy place. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. If I go there it makes me happy! I absolutely love that they have a mocktail menu and that they rotate the drinks every season. I don't drink and also a lot of my friends don't either and their mocktail menu is a winner every single time, I've never had a drink there that I did not enjoy. Honestly, I would love if they had more mocktail options than they already do. I'm really glad that they added snacks!! Their snack tray is amazing I get it almost every time I'm there. The only thing I would like is for there to be more variety of snacks! I do love the chocolate covered espresso beans but somehow, I am the one that ends up finishing them and then I don't sleep... which is definitely a me problem but like... they're addictive man... we need something else chocolate, like, of course keep the chocolate covered espresso beans, but like maybe chocolate covered raisins or chocolate covered berries? If you guys added a charcuterie board... take our money!!! My friends, and I would never leave, Take all our money!! Like a witchy charcuterie board!! I absolutely love that they have an outdoor patio now!!! It is stunning! Being witchy in the fall is going to be amazing there!!! I've been going there since they opened and from the moment I walked in I was in love. I have watched as this bar has continued to grow, and it only gets better with age. I adore the staff, they are so sweet! They have always been nothing but kind and caring. If something is going down outside, they are locking us in and keeping us safe. I was there one time when there was a shooting going on outside and they immediately locked the doors until it was safe for us to leave. I appreciate how much they take safety seriously! I really love that every single time I go there it seems that they have added something new to make it an even more fun experience! They have a lot of really awesome places to take photos! Definitely cute place to have a girly witchy photo shoot! They do a lot of of events and classes, I haven't been able to go down for one of their events/classes yet, but I'm really dying to go take one of the crafty witchy classes! I love that they're not only a bar, but they're also trying to build community! Dark Sister is absolutely perfect. PERFECT. It is all I have ever wanted and more in a space. I will continue being a happy loyal customer for as long as we both shall live. Thank you, Dark Sister for existing... and making my life complete.

    Great place! We were there on first Friday which was also 4th of July weekend and the 4 of us were…read moreable to get a table outside (it was pretty full inside). The outside patio was covered and had a 2nd bar out there which was very nice. Once we sat down, someone came over to let us know to order at the bar. Once we ordered, we got our drinks very quickly. I can't remember what I got, but 1 of my friends got the spicy drink that comes in a skull glass with 2 peppers to look like horns, loved the presentation! We had great service from the hostess to the bartender! There was a place across the way playing live music, so that was nice in the space. Not sure if we could hear music out there without it. I thought the prices were pretty average for a bar downtown. We also gave the photo booth a try inside and came away with 2 great strips. Great place to stop in for a drink!

    Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

    Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This was my second time here and it was less busy than the first time I came. I feel like this place can be easily missed since the building is all black, but definitely worth stopping in for. Vibes are very dark and intimate, yet lively. I am not sure how to explain it, but I liked it. Lol Somehow you can make a reservation, but I haven't looked into it. There were a bunch of seating against the wall on the couches but they were all reserved. My friend and I ended up at the bar in the "standing room" which was fine! Their seasonal menu is Conspiracy Theory based. I from that menu and my drink was called the Moon Landing Hoax, which was recommended to me but pretty strong in my opinion. I will say that the aesthetic of the drink was super cool with the astronaut. My friend ordered from their regular menu. She enjoyed her Repo Espresso Martini and she would order that again! All in all, I still like this bar a lot! I would come back again.

We were sat at a super cute table (there were 4 of us) and looked through the menu. The decor was super cute! Sort of old vintage looking couches around some tables, dim lighting, I loved the vibe. We each ordered something different from their cocktail menu from our very nice server. While waiting for those, our friend went to close out the tab and ordered shots, but asked for something that would be good. They proceeded to give us something with muddled strawberries, I was blown away at how good it was! Best shot I have ever had, so fresh. I love when you give bartenders freedom to play and create something so good! Our cocktails were so interesting and very tasty. I'd love to come back when we have some more time and try some of the other drinks. Everything about this place was amazing to me! Vibe, staff, the drinks, I had a great time!
