My friend and I were bar hopping throughout the Aria for drinks and this was out last stop before heading up to our room. It was cozy, but unremarkable. Pros: - Full bar with all the booze you would need - Lots of different seating available for large and small groups - Drinks were nice and strong - Server was friendly enough Cons: - Very busy bar, but if that's your thing, you may like it - Expensive vegas strip prices Would I come again? Maybe if I was staying at the Aria again read more

Lift Bar has a great ambiance and talented musicians, which makes this experience even more alarming. Connor and Edgar refused to serve my wife while she was alone at the bar. She speaks softly due to a medical voice condition, and instead of offering patience or assistance, they dismissed her and ignored her attempts to order. If this is how guests with a medical condition are treated, management should carefully review their staff conduct. No establishment of this level should risk creating an environment that feels discriminatory or unwelcoming. read more

Although the genera environment was clean and comfortable, the service was severely lacking. I was seated and asked for a few minutes to look over the drink menu. I then tried for almost 30 minutes to get a drink, but was passed over by multiple waitresses. When one finally came over she told me that I needed to order a drink because there was a minimum. Laughable after I had been ignored for so long. I explained that I was trying to get someone's attention to do just that. The server just reiterated that I needed to order. They seemed disintered in my business and inhospitable. read more

Every time i happen to want a lychee martini this is it. They always make it on point- they add the real lychee fruit on the stick! Doesn't taste like vodka AT ALL, tastes like straight lychee and it hits the spot! It gets very busy due to tourists, ect and if you happen to get a seat here + your friend at the bar seating it's really a miracle. Prices are strip prices, of course more expensive than us locals are used to however it's doable. Usually a Martini rounds up to $20 each with tip which is not the cheapest but not the most expensive especially being due at the fact that they have the best lychee martini's i have EVER tasted and gets the job done.. I do not mind ! Hahaha The bartender is also willing to get creative with the martini's ! We also ordered a kaluan cream expresso martini mix and that was also so good! Love it here read more

A Lychee Martini was the first drink I had after my 5hr. flight from New York to Vegas. I ordered this drink at Lift Bar, which is located in a dark corner area, of the smoky smelling lobby of The Aria Hotel. It was just o-kay. Sweet and cute enough to look at but not nearly boozy enough for the twenty dollar cost. My server was very pleasant. I'm thankful that she made sure that my payment card that I Ieft behind in an absent-minded moment, was immediately returned to Customer Service. It was waiting there for me when I went searching for it the next day. read more

Cool, chill spot with lots of traffic. We were able to access a prime seat that requires a reservation at 5:15. We were immediately approached and assisted from the point of entry. Unfortunately, the establishment did not have happy hour specials. Drinks started at $21 each but were worth it! I had 2 drinks and felt good! We were able to watch NFL games and was told in advance that we would need to find an alternative seat for the party that made a reservation to access their seat at 5:15. read more

The bartender Rizo was absolutely horrible and hostile. We showed up as a group of four girls, and he only allowed one of us to order a single drink before immediately trying to close us out. He didn't even bother asking the rest of our group if we wanted anything. His attitude was beyond rude and completely unprofessional. If you don't want to serve people, maybe don't work in hospitality!! literally the worst type of person ever ! as an industry worker never in my life have i treated someone like this !! read more

I have been to this bar several times over the years, usually while in town for a conference. It's a great set up, lots of seating. The staff is very hit and miss. I find the bartenders really good, friendly and know how to make a drink. The waitresses are very slow, mostly unattentive. It's like they don't really care. I will avoid mentioning one in particular by name. Anyway, I recommend ordering your drink from the bar, then go find a seat. I do enjoy the live music they have in the evenings. It's really nice to have a drink, listen to music after a long day of meetings. read more

After eating dinner nearby, we stopped at the lift bar for some drinks and to relax. I ordered a Daybreaker, which was like an old fashioned with a chocolate twist. It was very strong, and really good. I ended up ordering a cigar off their menu and another Daybreaker and enjoyed relaxing. I do like the fact that they've got cigars of varying strengths, as I tend to like a milder cigar, which they had. The service was really slow after the first drink, as it seemed that they didn't really have enough staff working for all of the patrons. I ended up smoking half of my cigar while waiting for my second drink to arrive, which wasn't great, but the waitress was a bit apologetic. I really like the location, and the seats were comfortable also. read more

When at the Aria Casino and you need a drink Lift Bar is a good choice for a drink that is definitely not watered down.

Great bartenders that look after the guests and take care of them. They know how to treat their guests and always do an amazing job. They know their stuff and even when they're slammed they make time for each of their guests. And their guitarist is pretty amazing too, very skilled and has a wide variety of music he plays. read more

Came here looking for a cigar. They had cigars on the menu so I opted to stay for a cigar and whiskey. Dorina took care of me and she was very attentive. Before leaving, I decided to drink something more refreshing so I had a no-jito (virgin mojito) which was very refreshing. I will be back in the future and I hope that Dorina is your server if you stop by! read more

OMG...we had so much fun at Lift Bar. Lift Bar is located right off the casino floor at Aria. We stopped in late afternoon to gamble a little and have a few cocktails. While we didn't win any money, the service and drinks were great! Our bartender Nikki was friendly, and kept our drinks coming. Will be back at Aria in a few weeks, and we will definitely be hanging out at Lift Bar again. read more

Waitress was so rude. We ordered a drink at the bar and she was hostile and scolded us for not ordering through her. There was no sign or indication and the bar wasn't full. She also pressured us into ordering drinks and overall was really rude. For management: She has curly hair. read more

Solid lounge bar to relax and listen to the musician who is playing during the evening hours. This was our second time here enjoying a cheroot and their refreshing lychee martini. 4.5 stars for tonight's visit with one deduction as we had to ask that our table be wiped down after being seated for 20 minutes and served water before ordering our drinks. Server and server attendant however were great and checked on us frequently to see how we were doing. Later that evening and without asking, the server attendant even brought us a ramekin of snacks to munch on. read more

Lift Bar - a glass of martini and a cigar - Lounges Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Highly disappointed in this bar. Partially because vegas due to the pandemic had required all bars to shut down so now to operate you must buy food not just alcohol. However, if you're required to buy food they should at least bring you out what you ordered. We ordered the bag of cashews and got some disgusting trail mix instead. Or server was not present. She took our order and returned over thirty minutes later with our drinks that were made wrong...She dropped off the check at the same time but took another 40+ minutes to pick it up. And another 30+ minutes to give us our card back. Literally steer clear of this place. The only good thing was the music was enjoyable and you got to people watch play slots. read more

Friends and I decided to have drinks here after dinner on a Saturday night. Open-seating. I had an espresso martini which was really good. Good place to casually drink with friends and people watch as the guest elevators was next to it. There was also live entertainment setting up when we were leaving. No dress code. On a Saturday night, there was a mix of those dressed up and those in casual wear. read more

One of the highlights of this lounge is their expertly crafted cocktails, particularly their Dirty Martinis and Long Island. And it's not always easy finding a really good Dirty Martini! The Martinis here are simply incredible--whether you prefer a classic gin or vodka Martini or something with a bit more flair, the bartenders know how to strike the perfect balance between strength and smoothness. Each Martini is served with a level of precision and attention to detail that elevates the entire drinking experience.The Long Island at this lounge are equally impressive. Known for their potent kick, these Long Islands are mixed to perfection, with just the right blend of spirits and a refreshing finish. It's the kind of drink that goes down easy but packs a punch, making it a great choice for those looking to start or end their night on a high note. And yes- I know those are olives. Trust me- I still don't understand what my man's fascination with taking my olives and putting them in his Long Island is, but hey, to each its own right?! read more

Drinks were just fine, typical casino vibe, noisy...we sat down one night after a conference and got my daughter with us. Service is TERRIBLE...with this lady (Maria). She came over 2 mins after we grabbed a seat asking for our order with harsh tone and evil stare...told her to give us a few minutes. She came back shortly demanding my daughter for an ID. I realized hotel prohibits under 21...which I have no issue abiding with the rules. Her tone is very RUDE, condescending & unprofessional. This person need some serious training with hospitality...! read more

How disgusting the way this bartenders treat people with a horrible attitude I hope corporate gets a chance to see this review the bartenders are so disrespectful I will never be coming back this guy screaming in my face and snatch the drink out my hand for literally no reason read more

Best bartender I've ever met on the strip edgar Garcia. if y'all are in town, definitely check this place out. Make sure you ask for him. The guy so super super funny and knows so much about liquor. Great experience here. read more

This place is so promising, but really poorly executed. I ordered an Old Fashioned and it was possibly the worst Old Fashioned I have ever had. If you look at the photo, the orange peel was actually from an orange slice, which the bartender cut the meat off. Honestly, if this drink wasn't over $17 I would have just let it go. However, with tip, it's over $20! The drink is sitting in my room with 2/3 left. Come one, Aria! you can do better than this! read more

Your typical casino floor bar I guess. Dark, noisy and a bit smoky from the casino. But our server was absolutely wonderful, came up to us right away, got quick service. They advertised "snacks" and we were expecting a food menu for apps but basically was just popcorn and chex mix. My old forester old fashioned was mediocre but my wife liked her lychee martini. read more

Another horrible experience at Aria lift bar. Had been here before and the bartenders were kind of stand offish. Thought it was a one off so came back of new years and had a horrible time. The bartenders were rude and dismissive. People were sitting at the bar top and weren't gambling even though the screen say reserved for players and the bartenders weren't doing anything about. However, the bartenders wouldn't let me and my friend rotate sharing the only available machine. Weird they would say something to us but not the people next to us for not even gambling when the screens clearly say reserved. Finally we left because the bartenders were being rude. We had left to cash out. Realized we left our food bag at the bar and came back (not even 5 minutes) and when we come back they said that had already thrown the food away. We had steak from a steakhouse so it wasn't cheap food. They were so rude about it too. Just overall bad experience would not recommend. read more

This is one of my favorite bars Las Vegas with the live music and great people watching. The only issue is the smoking. It's 2023 we really need to ban smoking in doors period. This bar has such a great vibe until someone lights up. My request to MGM, ban smoking in the bars around the casino. People can still smoke while playing just ban it in the bars near the lifts. read more

This is basically the lobby bar at the Aria. It's got bar seating (with gaming) and then little lounge tables and seating too. It's a big gathering place for folks coming out of nearby conventions. So some times it's nearly empty. Other times you can't even squeeze in anywhere. Frank is an awesome bartender! He always took care of us. We got the channel we wanted on the TV. We always had drinks when we wanted one. Etc. Very attentive and friendly. read more

I like this little bar/lounge area. There are comfy seats, ottomans, and its a fun atmosphere. Of course, there is live music, so I'm all about it! Some reviews I read said it can be a challenge to get service, but I did not encounter that. It's friday night, and my drink has remained replenished! The servers were friendly with me, and I did not encounter anybody rude. Yes, it is a bit smokey, but lets be honest, it's a bar! I expect that when I go into a casino/bar. If you dont want to be around the smoke (thats ok too!) There is another bar a little more open with less smoke just on the other side. The restrooms are close, and of course, there are slot machines just steps away. I will most likely be back, i enjoy the live entertainment! read more

For what it is I say it's great but the service is slow even though not many people were there. I ordered a couple different drinks and one was a hit but the other was a strong miss. Unfortunately it was much to bitter. It's definitely a great place to kill a bit of time just to have drinks and talk. read more

This bar gets super busy. It will take a while before you get served sometimes. Drinks are very expensive, I find. There's a live band from time to time and that great if you're a fan but we moved to High Limit Lounge to find peace and quiet after because the band was not that great and too loud. read more

We stay at the Aria every Thanksgiving week for 7 days and enjoy this lounge at least every night for cigars and martinis plus a few times during the day. The drinks are always AMAZING especially if Mike is working bar. We do enjoy cigars and the ventilation here is the best! The servers, especially our "Niece" Raquel is beyond awesome but all the other regulars like Thea, Maria, Chloé and Cori are fantastic! Our regular lounge assistant Dorena is always on top of everything and fresh ashtrays for our cigars. Easily our favorite lounge with live music most nights and the best place to people watch! read more

What an awesome place to start your day or to have a wind-down cocktail after a long night. Do yourself a favor and skip the long lines at the coffee places in the morning and plop your butt at the bar to have a really good cup of 'jo and if the mood strikes you, add a shot of Irish cream to make it a happy coffee. If you're meeting with friends, meet here as well to get your night kicked off in style. Servers and bartenders are very friendly- you really can't go wrong.... in the words of the most famous Carol M., "there's nothing more to say". read more

Pricey, but everything is here so you already know that going in. The watermelon margarita is FIRE. So good!

Not gonna lie, 3 stars is right on the nose. I've only ever had good service here at the bar, and the servers are great about getting you water if you're winding down from your drinks and you go up and ask, but otherwise if you're sitting in the seats you're going to have to fight to flag down someone's attention. The main reason I give fewer than 4 or 5 is that the smoke here is unbearable compared to the Lobby Bar just down the way. IMO you get much faster service there and I don't feel like I've lost a year of my life inhaling other people's smoke. It is what it is. If it's where your people are at, there are solid drinks. But if you've got another choice, I'd move down the hall. read more

Wow. I read most of the bad reviews. We spent two consecutive nights here and we had fun! The second one was a longer stay because it was our last night in Vegas and it was just a few steps away from the Aria hotel elevator so getting back to our room drunk won't be a problem. The ambience was lively and cozy. The band played medleys of RnB,pop,classic and alternative rock music. As the night went on,more happy groups came and we noticed same people from the other bars in Aria and from the convention center dinner. So we all did high fives! I mean we were around friendly and positive vibes,what can I say but great things. So the service. These guys were the best! We were at the bar and we were treated like VIPs. The boyfriend asked for Pisco Sour(unfortunately they do not make it) but instead he mixed us El Diablo,still good and sour. We had all sorts of cocktails and they were all strong. I loved our finale shots of the night Oatmeal Cookies! Yep! It's a smoking area. Despite of that one guy who was blowing his cigars right on our faces,he was friendly anyway like he wanted to make friends or something. Good times! read more
