    Nature shows and movies.

    Good life....mediocre experience. Where to begin. When it's 110 in Hendo where to go for cool air, cold beer and good vibe.? Not here. Juan's is the undisputed king of cool on Water St. We love Juan's but we are always looking for alternatives. Good life has good reviews but it's a strange place. Split on 3 levels, we were instructed to head to the second floor if we wanted alcohol (duh) because the guy behind the bar(?) on the 1st floor was not 21. Ok. 2nd floor vibe was decidedly slow, 4 people. TVs were tuned to nature shows, TNT, no sports, f-ing bore show. We hung in there, ordered beers and food. The wife went use the rest room which she classified, " was a step below the latrines at Curry Village in Yosemite". Great. Food was good beer was cold but in no way would we return. $67 for 2 burgers and 4 beers before tip. I give Good Life 3 months, tops. Juan's is still the king.

    Fun with a band that night at Goodlife

    Visited Goodlife Brewing, a bar on Water Street serving craft beer from Goodlife Brewing Company located in Bend Oregon. 3 story building with a bar area on each, we sat on the second floor with a great view of Water Street. Ordered a Sippy Cup Hazy IPA and a Descender IPA. Both were outstanding quality, fresh juicy tropical mango and pineapple aromas in the hazy with a medium bitterness and citrus fruit and low pine aromas on the IPA. Glasses were "Beer Clean" and they represented Oregon Breweries well. Bar was fairly busy, the bartender on the first and second floor were both friendly, greeting us as we walked in and hustling around the bar and tables trying to keep up with everyone, doing a solid job and not making anyone wait long. They could definitely use some extra help waiting the tables so the bartender doesn't have to run in and out. Also ordered a few burgers. Cook came out to serve and was super friendly, found us some ketchup and told us a little bit about the new ownership. Burgers were ok quality. Veggie burger Patty was a bit disappointing, should consider switching to a beyond Patty or impossible Patty. Bun was good, veggies (tomato, lettuce) could be better quality. Fries and onion rings were solid. Dug the skins still on the fries. Overall a solid 4.25 bar in a great location but going 5 stars because of the staff. I'll be back to try some of the other beers again for sure but might skip the burger and get some Juan's Flaming Fajitas across the street. Clean bar. Kid friendly. Vegetarian friendly. Gaming at the bar.

    This speakeasy is located in Lake Las Vegas. I was there yesterday for their Halloween party…read more The place is amazing. They have a lot of vintage look decor. They had a band that was rocking. They had two bars, one downstairs one upstairs. There's two levels upstairs and downstairs The staircase is amazing. You can take some really nice pictures on it. The bartender was great and they had plenty drinks and variations that I can order at the bar. They also have a cigar bar upstairs with doors that close and they have some patio areas if you like a little bit of indoor and outdoor If you are ever in the lake Las Vegas area you definitely need to stop by visit Lake Las Vegas and all the shops and definitely stop by this speakeasy

We got lucky getting there early, because it was really starting to fill up inside and out once it started! Note that The Speakeasy is 21+ only. We sat with a guy who was sitting alone at one of the tables out on the patio on the first floor - it turns out his girlfriend works here. We were all given a round of tequila shots, where I selected the silver tequila, their lightest one that they had available. They did two more rounds of tequila shots later that night, but I only did one because I drove here. One of my friends had another Jack Daniel's, which was her third one of the night. Their full drinks come with a cool light-up marble that changes color. While my friends went to go dance along with the live band that was playing various music from the 80's and 90's, I stayed behind and ordered some food, which was well needed for me. I ordered the grill cheese sandwich (stylized as THE Grilled Cheese on their menu) with fries on the side. Various cheeses were inside this sandwich, such as brie, mozzarella, and boursin. A guy dressed up as a squirrel saw me eating this and we struck up a short conversation on how he makes grilled cheese sandwiches the easy way. Though I don't eat these very often, I took his advice. Later on, our waitress approached me and told me that the bartenders were getting ready to close out all open tabs at the bar, and that it would be a great time for me to grab a drink before they stopped all sales for the night. I told her that I would be happy to have one, but I had to drive home. This was a great bar to hold an afterparty! Would love to come back again here next time. The band played well too and I recognized all the songs that they performed.

    The Laundry Room is a cool, intimate speakeasy located within downtown LV. Only 16 people are…read moreallowed in at one time, you need a reservation, and there's a dress code. We were seated at the bar and had a nice time interacting with the cocktail craftsman/man in charge, Davey. The menu is his creative brainchild and changes a few times a year, with the current one based on the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a 90 minute limit and 2 drink minimum per guest. Because of the craft and attention to detail that goes into each cocktail, we finished our 2 drinks just about right at the 90 minute mark. I really enjoyed both of my cocktails but the one that stood out to me the most was Strange Medicine. It was reminiscent of a martini but with Brie-washed Old Bison vodka, Cocchi Americano, and herb oil. It was so good that I wasn't sure what drink to choose next, but Davey was helpful with a great recommendation for another cocktail served with a chunk of parmesan cheese on top. Keep in mind that you're paying for the experience and the level of craft. So with a 2 drink minimum it won't be a cheap experience but it's definitely something worth checking out for the unique, creative cocktails.

    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.

Found this little Vegas gem randomly in the magazine in my hotel and figured it was worth the 30min trip to try it out. Booked a tour with Master Distiller Johnny, and from the moment I arrived, they took great care of me. The tour was fun and informative. I know a good amount about distilling whiskey, but they talked about their specific processes and the unique attributes of distilling in the hot desert. After the tour, I spent some time in the awesome tap room. Old School vibe to it, with food that rivals the restaurants on the strip, bartenders who are friendly and make a killer cocktail, and just a great place to chat with folks at the bar and hang out for a quiet evening. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in town. It's well worth the trip. Don't forget to pick up a couple of bottles; they even stock bottle protectors for you to get them home safely (like all 3 of mine did).

My friend asked about the whiskey samples and we got a few samples and then my friend bought a couple bottles. It was a nice experience, a speakeasy type of place. Quiet, clean, classic and the staffs gave us great service. Perhaps if I'm in the area, I will stop by again.

The restaurant is very dark, with worn concrete floors that make the space feel dated rather than inviting. The bench seating is especially uncomfortable and quickly starts to hurt your back, so I'd avoid sitting there if you can. It also seemed like the bar received much better service and attention than the dining room, which made the overall experience feel neglected
