    Bar Ginza is a wonderful, mostly Japanese, whiskey bar! We popped in on a Friday night and snagged a table for 5. The service is nice and our server was knowledgeable. The drinks were pretty good. I liked the options for gin drinks as well. Overall, a nice place I would definitely come back to.

    Japanese whiskey tasting
    Brian I.

    This place is definitely a unique bar in the downtown area of Las Vegas. I wanted to come here because I wanted to try out a different variety of Japanese whiskey and learn more about it. This bar specializes in a variety of whiskey but also a great selection of Japanese whiskeys. I don't know of any other location in Las Vegas that has a vast selection of Japanese whiskeys. I started off with a high ball which is a pretty standard Japanese whiskey mixed drink. I wanted to try some Japanese whiskeys that I haven't had before so I went off of the server to give me some suggestions. They offered a great variety so I went with 4 of them and they were all pretty great. With the different in taste and smoothness from each one. The display and vibe is definitely a big more high end and something you wouldn't expect in a down area. The displays alone of the different types of whiskeys in the wall is pretty cool. The location is fairly lit and offers an intimate setting. It isn't too loud where you can't have a conversation and also provides a lot of space for a decent sized party.

    There's something simple about this place, but that's what makes it special and what to me, makes it authentically Japanese. Japanese. Wasn't trying to be ostentatious, just tastefully simple and elegant, and I think that's what a Japanese bar should be. They should come at the very least have the staples, Japanese beer, sake, and a good whiskey selection and Bar Ginza had all of that. My buddy and I sat at the bar and each ordered a cocktail, him a Bee's Knees and a highball for me. Each cocktail was artfully made and came out tasting delicious. You can tell this place isn't really touristy but has more of a local, you have to know about it vibe. It's not big, and it wasn't really crowded, and the bartender seemed to know a lot of the patronage. Right before we left, the head chef from the restaurant next door came in to a warm welcome. I could see myself sitting here and throwing back a few, that's for sure. I do wish it was closer to where I lived, but then I'm sure it wouldn't be what it is.

    By far, one of the absolute coolest bars I have ever been to. It was so cool to see the owners actually being the ones to run it, too. This bar is located in DTLV arts district and is in good company by the bars nearby. It's definitely a spot for whiskey drinkers for sure. We were greeted by a nice woman who found us a spot for us to enjoy even tho it was busy. We found out later she was one of the owners! I wish I got her name, because she was so nice and friendly and joked around with us and even put up with my husband making dumb jokes to her haha. She was also SOOO knowledgable when we asked her questions about what we should order and she was so patient with us. My friend and coworker is a huge whiskey guy, so he was geeking out about it the entire experience. Along the walls in a glass casing, he was pointing out all the rare Japanese whiskey. I found out that it was the owners' collective collection from years and years. SO COOL! I ordered the bee's knees which had gin in it, not whiskey, and even that was delicious. My husband got the old fashioned and said it was the best old fashioned he had ever had. My friend did a an entire whiskey flight tasting. We all really enjoyed this experience here and I highly recommend stopping in. Such a great spot to grab a cocktail that is higher quality without paying a higher quality price.

    This place is so cool! I've gone out to Arts District twice and both times, Bar Ginza was a stop for us. I am not a whiskey connoisseur or anything but it's so cool that they have ALL kinds of Japanese whiskey here. For those of US that don't want to drink straight whiskey, they also have a cocktail menu. I love that the place is so ... chill. There's not much I can really say about this place since they run on their extensive whiskey list and do not serve any food. The bartender is always very friendly and knowledgeable. He's very attentive so you are covered at the bar! I haven't been when this place is bustling yet so not sure how it is when they are busy. Definitely a chill place.. not a "let the crazy Vegas night begin" type of scene.

    Take a trip to Japan at Bar Ginza! This is one of the coolest bars in downtown. The entrance is just a very non-suspecting door, but as soon as you walk in it, transfers you into a whole new dimension where Japanese artwork and artifacts are displayed for everyone. They have three main TVs at the bar, all playing Japanese anime or kickboxing. The seating area is a small quaint 10 table space. They have a large variety of Japanese whiskeys and sake. The drink menu is well put together with an in-depth descriptions of Japanese theme drinks. I went with the bees knees and it was such a flavorful cocktail. I hope to go back soon one day.

    chuhai, highball, whiskey sour
    Koi B.

    super chill bar! family reccomendation but i thoroughly enjoyed my chuhai and was surprised since everything on the menu seemed pretty whiskey focused. the chuhai was refreshing and not incredibly sweet. my boyfriends highball was incredibly smokey, which was not to my personal taste but my other family liked it. service was decent, short and sweet. did not stay too long since the waitress asked if we were going to head out soon since we had been there maybe almost two hours and a line had been building up.

    Vast Japanese whiskey collection and knowledge. Great cocktail concoctions and service by one of the owners himself. Quaint and intimate bar setting. Nice addition to the hip Arts District.

    This is very quaint & demure spot. Very polite and mindful. I'm definitely coming back here. I love that it's not as busy, although we did come on a Thursday night. However, the server was soooo professional, cute and polite and friendly. She recommended drinks to us. We got the Bee's Knees and it was soooo good. We split it into shots. I'm definitely coming back here to hangout with good company! And to try the rest of the drinks!

    The good stuff.  Vodka

    Love this place. The bartender is the perfect bartender. Very educational and entertaining. Although I'm a Scotch guy and this place is mostly about bourbon I had a lot of fun and also learned about Bourbon and Vodka valuables intel. The setting is also great in the container park. Arts district.

    Fantastic whisky bar in Vegas that you must try! Local owned, excellent service, and even better drinks. I had the Tokyo Sling and my boyfriend who is an old fashion connoisseur said it one of the best he's ever had. Please give this locals spot a try!

    I have been hearing about this place for a while and finally had the chance to come and check it out. Fantastic cocktail and a great selecrion of whisky. Chichibu whisky has barely come to the US, but it is a fantastic brand and highly sought after by drinkers and collectors. Large selection of beer, bourbon and scotch. Old rip van winkle and a thomas handy sazerac btac caught my eye as well. Really great prices to be able to taste something very rare! The place is family run and the owners have been in Las Vegas for a long time! I highly recommend stopping in for a drink.

    Finally a Japanese inspired whiskey bar at the arts district of Vegas! Found out about this spot from a friend who posted on his socials and I couldn't be any happier to check it out! When we walked in, we were greeted right away and we decided to take a seat at the bar. My boyfriend and I were amazed with the selections of beer and whiskeys. If you're not a whiskey drinker, they also have other alternatives like gin, vodka, etc. if you ever had hitachino beers, they have em there! Along with the sake made from them as well. My boyfriend and I ordered a hitachino ipa to share. I got the Japanese old fashioned and he got the bourbon highball. The bartender told us they make the circular ice in house. Carving and all. Amazing detail to it. We saw the bartender pouring what it appeared to be tastings so we also both decided to order yamazaki 12 year .5oz and nikka aroma .5oz. AMAZING. We both decided that this is our go to spot every time we are at downtown. We loved the service and loved the selection of drinks. The prices were really good too. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to head back already!

But over the last year, I have discovered I like the taste of whiskey! Call it age....call it a more advanced palate....whatever you call it....mama likes! I never want to do things without educating myself, so what is a lady to do? Go to a class of course! Seriously....if I could have taken these classes in college....I would have been class Valedictorian! First of all JD was so accommodating, we had a change in our schedule and he came in on an unscheduled night so we could have the class before leaving early the next morning. The Whiskey Attic is located about a 10 minute drive off the strip in a quiet more industrial area. I like to point these things out because I like to know what to expect when driving to unknown areas. We took an Uber and it was easy to get a car to and from the location. JD greeted us at the door and right away we picked up on his brilliance about everything from sports, history and Whiskey of course! Because we were the only two there for this course it was a nice date night but honestly this would have been fun to do as a party, business ice breaker, or just something different. We did the introduction course, and not only did we learn about whiskey but wines, beers, anything you could want to know. And because The Whiskey Attic isn't trying to sell you product, you get to learn about all varieties, countries, and regions without being pushed to a particular brand. JD walked us through how to taste whiskey and how to drink it! After our class, JD asked us a series of questions and chose a selection of 6 brands he though we would like (the place is beautifully full of whiskey and JD knows where every bottle is) and we commenced tasting his selections! He nailed my tastes down to a tee and I enjoyed every one of the sample! We definitely want to go to the more advanced class next time we are in Las Vegas. I feel much more confident about ordering whiskey when I am out and about knowing what I like because of this class! Loved meeting JD and am looking forward to our next visit!
