Would have give 5 stars but quite honestly the service was not very friendly and they were out of several ingredients to make drinks. Its a quiet, dark bar at the back of Cromwell hotel. We got a few cocktails and it was a nice place to quietly chill. Probably wouldn't go back unless I was already there. But drinks were delicious at least! read more

Inside the Cromwell! From 3pm to 7pm you can get b1g1 cocktails. There are also $6 wine selections during happy hour. I'd note that when we were there, they told us the b1g1 is per ordering style . So I think you'd need to be clear on how you order. If you and a friend order two drinks up front, that means two more are coming as the free ones, and not that you paid for one and the friend got the free one. read more

4th visit to Las Vegas since the pandemic and I visited the Cromwell and was amazed at this hidden gem, the staff was great. The bartenders serve the best old fashion I've had in Vegas . The server Desiree was amazing, she was nice, knowledgeable, attentive and gorgeous to look at. I was hoping to take her on a date but she is married with children which made me sad. Will definitely visit again as it was all around great. read more

Very underrated bar that is overlooked! Most people won't come by here unless they know about it or happen to be staying at the Cromwell. They host a daily happy hour where it's BOGO on all of their craft cocktails. They made great old fashions, whiskey sour, etc. Great bartenders and drinks are well put together and being 2 drinks for $25...it's a steal! Especially when compared typical Strip prices. Bound is located next to the Cromwell check-in desk and sportsbook kiosks. Worth stopping by if you're around for happy hour! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Best happy hour on the strip. 3-7pm everyday 2 for 1 cocktails. These are high quality cocktails and is the best deal on the strip. Right next to the high limit room so I could go back and forth. Also can use your diamond plus free drinks there. Bar is nice and servers are as well. Service is a little slow but be patient because they present the cocktails well. read more

My sister and I recently spent a few nights in Las Vegas. We had heard about Bound Bar in The Cromwell, and we decided to try it out. It's an intimate and elegant bar. The bartenders, Neff and Sandy, were phenomenal! They made absolutely delicious drinks for us. If there is nothing on the menu that is to your liking, they will happily make you a custom drink. The ice cube in one of my drinks was very cool. I highly recommend having a drink at this amazing bar! read more

Decided to come here on a late night adventure with my bf since we were trying different bars during our vacation. Walking into this tiny hotel/bar, it is super elegant and has a really nice bar setup! The bartender was super sweet and explained things very thoroughly with each drink we were interested in. I ended up trying the Cromwell Cocktail which has strawberry purée and a hint of balsamic vinegar which is what caught my interest since they compliment each other really well! Unfortunately I didn't like it as much as I thought I would because the strawberry (maybe) was too close to cough syrup to me. That was really the only thing that stood out to me on the menu but maybe I'll try something else next time I'm in the area! It was a small bar and only like 2 other people when we went but had a very chill vibe to it. IG: @ammysalamii read more

Nice little spot here at The Cromwell. As a a local, it's nice to have a little spot on The Strip that isn't at one of the giant casinos (though This hotel/casino is a property of Caesars. Parking for locals is also free for the first 3 hours, just scan your ID as you're exiting. Anyway, The drinks here are delicious and service has been superior every time I have come. The bartenders/barbacks are kind and hospital. Shout out to Micah, Jeanette, Brandon, and Rachel. Prices are expected, being on the strip, but note that ingredients here are fresh and they put work into the mixology, which I totally appreciate. :) read more

We got here right before closing on Thursday night. Wasn't too busy and was very clean and inviting. Typical of an upscale lounge. The bartender was friendly and made sone nice recommendations. We went with the Breakfast martini and Bunny Bubbles. The Martini was nice and strong. Really hit the spot. The Bunny Bubbles was perfect- not too sweet and the Moet was a perfect touch. Best part is the location next to the sports bar. We were watching Thanksgiving football nightlights on a beautifully lit led screen. They have couches and comfortable chair and of course you can sit at the bar if you want. Highly recommend this place if you need a good drink and a place to chill. read more

Bound is an intimate cocktail lounge and lobby bar inside The Cromwell, just off the Strip at E. Flamingo Rd. It's between the hotel check-in lobby and retail shop on the first floor. Open until 2am. The vibe is mid-century modern, with gold highlights dim lighting, and plush seating, with a book motif. In fact, the menu is a beautifully bound (get it) book with several "chapters" of cocktails. I don't recall the music, so assuming it was fairly chill background music. The cocktails are nice and mostly classics, with a few twists. You can't go wrong with the first cocktail on the menu - the Bound Old Fashioned. I tried to stick to the "Bartender's Corner," though, which had most of the original/inventive cocktails. My favorite was the Kentucky Pick Me Up, created by Dominick DeMartino - Maker's Mark Bourbon, espresso, honey, and absinthe rinse. Great to keep you going during a fun Vegas night. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, but I wouldn't quite give it a 5th star and say it's worth going out of your way. But if you're in the Cromwell, Westin, Bally's, Bellagio, Caesar's, or Flamingo, I'd definitely drop by for a nightcap. Cocktails were mostly $18 if I recall correctly - except the Reserve cocktails which were around $50+. They also had light bites like tacos, nachos, grilled cheese, rice bowl, and sandwiches from the nextdoor eatwell. read more

I feel the need to update my previous review, because this bar was awesome, but now (or at least as of a couple months ago, when I was back in Vegas, assuming they haven't changed it back because they realized they were being too generous), it's even awesomer. Namely, this was already a super-chill, classy place serving fantastic, but pricey drinks, but when I was there last time, they also had dollar video poker machines at the bar, that dispensed drink tickets pretty generously with play, and unlike at the Chandelier Bar, they let me use those drink tickets for menu items... or *off*-menu items! So, this time around, I finally got around to trying their most known cocktail, the one with the orange marmalade - honestly, it wasn't really my thing. A good cocktail, definitely interesting, but a bit bitter for my taste. Still glad I tried it. Then I played some blackjack, broke even, and asked the bartender if I could use it to get a custom cocktail, since he seemed the knowledgeable sort, and yep! Asked for something super peaty, got a fantastic drink made with laphroaig, cynar, vanilla liqueur, honey, and orange and cocoa bitters (I had to write down all the ingredients, cause it was so good). Also had to write down his name cause it was so good: Dominic, you are awesome. I see why they do it now, though - the following night after going out drinking all evening, I had to come back and get another one. Dominic still remembered the drink from the previous night and made it again just as well, but turns out you don't play blackjack nearly as well when you're fairly intoxicated, so I gave them back the 20 bucks I cheated off them the first night (got a free drink, and then paid it back full price by losing my $20 at video blackjack. :D) Still worth it! read more

I'm a huge craft cocktail fan. Always looking to try new drinks. Bound always shows up on "best" craft cocktail list. That being said I've had some ok drinks here but nothing that was overly memorable. That main problem I have with this place is every time I've been here the bartenders are unfriendly and slow. You walk up and they don't acknowledge you, not a be right with you or anything. "What'll it be" is the most you get out of them when they do finally get to you....No follow up like "how's the drink?"or anything. Many places with better drinks and way better service....sad because it's a cool looking spot. read more

Vegas does it right. A swanky lounge at the Cromwell with black and gold colors, Bound makes it easy to slip onto the barstool and start salivating. The handsome barman handed me a cocktail book that holds the classics plus their own creations. Normally, I'd go with the house specialty, but I was confident he'd make my Vesper cocktail right. He didn't have Lillet Blanc but substituted cocchi Americano instead. He sets down my ice cold drink and says, "two very strong Vespers. Cheers." He wasn't kidding. Not the smoothest I've had, but definitely the strongest. (I mean, at $18 each, they should kick my butt) Gotta love Vegas! read more

I love this bar! It is definitely a place that the husband and I go to every time we are in Vegas! The staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. Located right off of the lobby area, with easy access from the Strip-side, the hubby and I went here twice during our most recent stay. The first time I got a manhattan ($17)- its a classic, done just like it should be; delicious, well-balanced and hit the spot. On our second trip, I decided to get a little something different and one of their seasonal offerings. The Apple Pie SideCar ($17) - yup - tastes like Apple Pie! If you haven't been here, and you like cocktails, its a must! read more

Bound - Apple Side Car - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

At the rear of the Cromwell casino floor, this high-end cocktail bar offered nothing special except the fancy ice cube with a script letter B etched inside. The cocktail menu offered classic drinks using classic recipes which is good for fans of retro but too boring for my palate. Like hitting on 18 in blackjack, I felt silly paying for the aggressively priced $24 cocktails from a bartender still in training. read more

Bound was the venue for a couple of Saturday afternoon cocktails. Consistent with previous stops at Bound, the wife and I were well met by a skilled and personable bartender. I had the Frontiersman ($17) made with Bulleit Rye, Amaro Montenegro, Drambuie, and Angostura bitters. It was boozy and bitter served with a laser-etched ice sphere, the coolest one that I've ever seen. It was exactly my kind of drink, mind you, the ice sphere was pure eye candy, which put the drink over the top. For my second round, I had the Evergreen ($17) made with Atlantico rum, elderflower syrup, lime juice, basil leaves, cucumber slices, and pink peppercorns. It was good, but less to my liking than the Frontiersman. Bound continues to impress with its cocktail game and is a must for cocktail lovers. read more

Went here the other night(2 times) and the bartender Neff was absolutely amazing !!!! If you happen to go to this bar, ask for Neff! He was friendly and totally accommodating! He customized drinks for my girl, without hesitation! (This made up up for the rude female bartender with dark curly hair at the bar in the middle of the Cromwell, who told us we were being complicated for ordering drinks off of THEIR ACTUAL MENU!!...ie:she didn't want to do the work that was required for the drink). Anyways...go to Bound...ask for Neff, and I promise you will not regret it!! read more

It's a must to come into the Cromwell and get a drink at the Bound. The drinks were amazing and bartenders were super nice and attentive. Ordered an old fashioned and whiskey smash.

Bound - Old Fashioned - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

You probably know this already if you've been following my reviews, but Bound is still my favorite bar on the Las Vegas Strip. It's expensive yes, but I just love the atmosphere here and the drinks are pretty damn good. To add to the awesomeness of this bar, they made some really cool additions. Now they have featured bar bites coming straight from Giada's kitchen. It includes flatbreads, pizzettas, arancini, charcuterie boards, burgers, and even some breakfast selections like Eggs Benedict. I didn't get to try any of the food (SHOCKER!!), but I was looking at a couple having the burger at the bar it looked really good. Definitely an upgrade from their old bar bites menu. They also added live musical performers to give a classy and vibrant touch to the place. The duo that performed when I was there performed some jazzy renditions of popular top 40 songs. They were really good! With this visit I decided to try a few new drinks off their menu and they were pretty good for the most part. I ordered the Sergeant Pepper and the Cromwell Fizz. Sergeant Pepper -- http://bit.ly/299bWZ5 Bowmore 12 Year whisky, apricot brandy, fresh mint, crushed pink peppercorn and ginger ale Cromwell Fizz -- http://bit.ly/29a7dax Macallan 10 Year Old Fine Oak whisky, fresh lemon juice, orange bitters, egg white, honey syrup and Moët & Chandon Impérial Champagne The Sergeant Pepper was a good way to start the night as it wasn't too strong and was pretty refreshing, plus it got better as the ice melted into it. But my favorite between the two was the Cromwell Fizz. Why haven't I ordered this before?! It was so good and very opulent. I ordered another one right after I finished it. The might be my new favorite cocktail edging out their Negroni Svegliato Esspresso Cocktail. Then I felt really nostalgic and ordered their Never Say Goodnight Espresso Martini which was the first drink I ever ordered here. And definitely needed it too because I definitely wanted to keep my night on the Strip going on into the morning. It's made with Red Bull Flavored Espresso, Stole Vanil Vodka, Perond Absinthe, Sugar Syrup and Spices. I didn't take a pic of it during this visit, but here's an old pic that I took when I first came here (bit.ly/1mn6TUe). It's still one of my favorites! So with a cool atmosphere, great service, and now free live music, and a bar bites menu from celebrity chef, Bound has become the ultimate Vegas bar for me. I can't wait to go back to try their bites menu! read more

Located between Drai's Beach Club and the retail area at The Cromwell, this classy and elegant cocktail bar is one of the best things I have tried in Vegas for a long time. Actually, since forever. You can tell, I'm smitten. Swanky black and gold interior. Leather couches, small tables. And a book serves as the cocktail menu. Bound was created by Salvatore Calabrese, a bartender with over 30 years of international experience. On the menu you'll find unusual and creative drinks like the BREAKFAST MARTINI (gin-based mix with orange marmalade) or THE CROMWELL FIZZ (Macallan Fine Oak Whiskey, lemon juice, orange bitters and Moët & Chandon Impérial champagne). There you go, I just gave you my two favorites. The drinks are handcrafted, mixed by amazing bartenders, and delivered by the wonderful waitresses. Colleen was serving us that night and she took well care of our table! I found my favorite cocktail bar in Vegas that night. read more

Came here for cocktails after dinner. Ordered the Bound Old Fashioned and Rested Root. This was possibly the worst Old Fashioned I have ever had, and definitely was for a place that holds itself out as having well executed craft cocktails. Completely watered down, I have no clue how an Old Fashioned can be executed this poorly. It was on one big round rock, which looked promising. First taste showed otherwise. Took 2 sips and left. Took 20 minutes to get the drink in the first place. Complete waste of $23.99. Would have sent it back but given how long the drinks took wasn't worth it. Wife had the Rested Root, it was fair to ok. read more

Good LORD these are some good cocktails! Highly recommend the Smoke and Mirrors. These bartenders know what they're doing. Smooth, flavorful, and extraordinary drinks here-- at the cost of any other Vegas bar. Definitely a "don't miss" for craft cocktail fans. I loved it! read more

The lobby bar to compare all other lobby bars to. The standard has been set high! First, let's talk about the menu. It comes as a hardcover book and is so cute! The pages on the inside are thick and look like the pages of a super fancy antique book. They have little descriptions of the different drink types and the mixologist who created them. Love love love. There's a long list of cocktails with something for everyone. They all sound delicious and perfectly well balanced. My sister got and loved the spicy fifty. It was a bit too spicy for me and the amazing bartender created an off menu drink for me. I'm not sure what was in it, but it tasted incredible. So light and refreshing, I hated all other cocktails for the rest of the night. The seating is chic and comfy, which is an impossible but important combo. The bartenders super nice and friendly. What a gem of a place on the strip! Will be back! read more

Grabbing a pre dinner drink before hitting Giada, this place was the first thing we stumbled upon when we arrived at Cromwell. I like the setup, lots of comfortable leather couches and tables and chairs setup, and it was a great people watching spot. Our server was great, very friendly and accommodating, but the bartender was in need of some serious help. After we ordered, we waited an absurd amount of time for our drinks, and we were the only group bedside a few people at the bar. I wasn't too impressed with the drink menu, I'm all for hand crafted drinks and mixology, but I feel they used way too many ingredients in their cocktails. For $16 a drink, I better enjoy it. read more

I love this swanky little lobby bar. Tucked in a corner of the stylish Cromwell, Bound is a sleek, sophisticated nod to classic Vegas. The circular bar is complemented by overstuffed chairs and tables on one side. The bartenders are friendly; the glassware is chic; and the cocktail list is immense. This dapper little bar could be miles away from a casino floor - somehow, even without walls, it transports you somewhere else - a place without the melodic ding of slot machines. The carefully curated cocktail menu, housed in a "bound" book is filled with cocktails for cocktail lovers by famed mixologist Salvatore Calabrese. I can't remember the names of the cocktails I've had, but I assure you that they were amazing. The menu also features snacks and bites by Giada DeLaurentis from the upstairs Giada restaurant. A luxurious, hidden gem on the Strip, Bound is the perfect place for happy hour cocktails before heading to dinner or a show. read more

Oh how glorious! Dominick was our delightful bartender. He made me easily the best Corpse Reviver 2 I've ever had. Just perfect. Friends had the special Manhattan with home made brandied cherries, Smoke and Mirrors that Dominick let us know was his creation, and my favorite of the night, the Frontiersman. Was so much fun tasting everyone's drinks. We were all impressed with their selection of spirits and I think I left my nose print on the glass case that is a wonderland of rare spirits. To top it all off, my girlfriend and I got massages at the bar. I mean, drinking a stellar cocktail whilst getting a massage? Dreamy night! read more

Right before leaving for the airport to go home, my husband and I stopped by Bound by Salvatore to have a last cocktail. It was empty in the bar, but it was also about 1pm. So we had our pick of seat and all the attention of the bartender. The service here was fantastic. We were given recommendations that were spot on perfect. My husband got an Old Fashioned, but with a Cromwell twist. I cannot remember the name of it, but he really liked it a lot. I picked something called Grace, which was pear vodka, pear puree, and fresh juices garnished with a dried pear and stalks of lemongrass. It was beautiful! Also delicious, refreshing, light, lovely. Apparently the cocktail menu was designed by Salvatore Calabrese, who is a well-known mixologist. However, I am unfamiliar with the name. But he crafted an amazing cocktail for me. If they weren't all made of alcohol, I would have loved to try several different ones while I had the chance. The coffee cockails sound amazing! Bar is small, somewhat intimate-feeling, located in The Cromwell boutique hotel. I highly recommend you stop by to give their drinks a try. Well worth it. read more

My wife and enjoy having drinks in a classy Vegas lounge. Although quite small, we found Bound to be very much to our liking. Located is a more quiet area of the casino, the atmosphere is elegant. The bartenders were attentive and very knowledgable. The drink menu is extensive. I ordered a Moscow Mule and my wife a Cosmopolitan. Both drinks were very good and reasonably priced. The theme is of an elegant club library. Seating around the bar itself is decent. There is not a lot of seating in the lounge area. However, what there is, is very comfortable (consisting of loveseat-type furniture and leather lounge chairs). There is a very small area set up for a musical performer or two, where live music is scheduled daily. It is also a nice location to people watch. We will certainly include this as a regular stop when we are in Vegas. read more

How do I even begin to review this place and give it justice? From the moment we walked up, the friendliness and knowledge of cocktails Dominick had drew us in! My favorite drink was the Lion's Tail, my Fiancé's was the Blood and Sand. We enjoyed it so much we came back a couple of days later and saw Dominick again and met Kevin. They both knew their business and made us not want to leave! On our second visit, the smoke and mirrors was a special treat! Amazing experience, can't wait to return! read more
