    Mac & cheese, garlic potato's, mushrooms
    Stephanie A.

    Had an amazing dinner on Saturday night to celebrate my man's birthday. Made reservations for 2 a couple weeks prior and the day of, I had to call and ask if they could accommodate us for 4 and luckily they did! Sat us right at our reservation time, our server, Adriana, welcomed us, wished him happy birthday! We ordered the Viking punch $21, Caesar salad $14, deviled eggs with Wagyu and caviar $20, Bone marrow $21, sides: mushrooms, Mac & cheese, garlic potatoes $12 each, 8 oz filet $62, 6 oz A5 Wagyu $195. So delicious, will definitely be back. Only thing that threw me off was the location. Located at the boulevard mall. Interesting.

    My boyfriend and I go to nice dinner spots whenever we travel, so we decided to go off Strip and try Primal Steakhouse. We got there before our reservation and were very impressed by the ambiance inside. The theming was super cool and even though the outside area seems unassuming, the inside is exquisite. We were sat after a few minutes of waiting and greeted by our incredible server, Parker. He was very kind, incredibly efficient, and nice to talk to! He also gave great recommendations. Honestly, the entire staff were all great and very helpful. The food was GREAT. So good. So filling...come ravenous. We both did the $70 3-course and it was great. The salad portions were generous and you even get a side with your steak. And the dessert was delicious (I'm not a tiramisu person at all but the Oreo one...man, so good). Also want to give a shoutout to the violinist--he was playing such a wide genre of music and it just made the ambiance and vibe so much better. Overall, we were both very pleased and impressed with our experience. When we come back to Vegas, we will definitely return!

    Deviled eggs

    Primal has to be one of my favorite steakhouses, especially with their incredible $70 prix fixe dinner. It's such a great value! You get your choice of soup or salad, an entrée, and dessert, plus you can add an appetizer for just $15. We started with the French onion soup and the Caesar salad. The Caesar was absolutely massive, easily big enough to share, and my French onion soup was rich, flavorful, and delicious. For our entrées, I ordered the 8 oz. filet, while my husband chose the short ribs. His short ribs were absolutely phenomenal! They were tender, flavorful, and the standout of the meal. My filet was cooked perfectly, though I think I'd order it without the onions next time so the steak can really shine. I also added the fully loaded baked potato, and whatever lardons they use on it were incredible. It may have been one of the best loaded baked potatoes I've had. We couldn't pass up the appetizer add-on and tried the deviled eggs with Wagyu and caviar. The Wagyu version wasn't really my favorite, but the caviar deviled egg was absolutely impeccable. Dessert finished the meal with a crème brûlée and the Oreo tiramisu. The Oreo tiramisu was a bit too heavy on the sweet cream for my taste, but the crème brûlée was perfectly executed with a crisp caramelized top and silky custard. A huge shout-out to our server, Maya, who was fantastic from start to finish. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made the entire dining experience even better with her attentive, friendly service. If you're looking for an excellent steakhouse that delivers both quality and value, Primal's prix fixe menu is hard to beat. Don't let the location put you off, this place is a must try!

    Mannnnn. I don't even know where to begin. I made reservations at Primal Steakhouse a few days ago and up until one hour prior to our reservation, I went back and forth questioning if I should cancel. I'm glad I didn't. Me and wifey showed up for our 7:30 PM reservation and was seated immediately and greeted by our server, Nicole (Congratulations on your little one!). She was very pleasant and then TK came out and dropped off a phenomenal sourdough bread slice with a side of bacon jam, I believe. Then we were greeted by manager Derrick, who I'd previously spoke with on the phone and told him we'd be about 5 minutes behind schedule. He told me it was no problem. Derrick's personality was personable to the point where it felt like I knew him already. TK recommended the pepper corn sauce for our steak and then went above and beyond by bringing out several different sauces to try with our steak. I informed Derrick my wife was in PA school and graduating soon and then he went above and beyond by bringing out a complementary dessert for her, which he did not have to do but we were very appreciative of the nice gesture. This experience tonight was one of a kind and I'd gladly come back on my next visit and tell a friend. I've never had such exceptional service at a steakhouse. Much love and thanks to all staff at Primal Steakhouse.

    Mac and Cheese
    Karen A.

    The style of this restaurant is definitely different, and we weren't expecting it, very medieval rustic, which fits the primal concept. Fun look especially at the entry with all the melted wax from candles burning. Live music was nice. Our waitress was kind and helpful. Steak was decent, the salt was a bit more course, so if it was saturated in some areas some would say it was over salted but all in all it was good. French onion soup absolutely delicious, mashed potatoes were great, and Mac and cheese wasn't a wow factor, without asking they kindly removed it from our tab as we barely ate it. I love a good Caesar and I will say it was mild in flavor. Not pictured but the best highlight of this experience, the grilled toast with a tomato bacon jam of sorts. Very delicious and different. Worth trying. We would go back just for that. :)

    Came here for a birthday celebration. Overall it was good but definitely agree that the prices are extremely high. I was really disappointed in the tomahawk steak. It was served fairly rare and under seasoned, we had to ask for salt to finish it. The sauces are underwhelming and seemed to be done in an untraditional way (it's a crime to call that chimichurri). The highlight of the meal was the Mac n cheese and the free bread they give you. The place itself is very cool but it is dark and loud as I imagine there's quite a bit of echoing in there. Loved the theme but it doesn't justify the huge price point. Too many dope spots around town to try, don't waste your time here.

    Super excellent experience me and my other half had an appetizer and OJ and a dessert and some amazing drinks. Antonio was a very great waiter and had nothing but friendly and family vibes throughout the whole experience. This is definitely become a staple for me and will be coming back anytime I ever come to visit.

    I was in Vegas for business, and our team decided to do a group dinner. We were told this spot would be perfect for great steak and even better conversation... and let me tell you, it delivered--with a side of time travel "Helloooo Mc fly!). The moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped straight into a medieval castle. I'm talking dim lighting, stone vibes, and these wild little mountains of melted candle wax everywhere like time itself just gave up and decided to drip. For a second I thought, "Claire... is that you?"because this place has serious Outlander energy. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and just the right amount of dramatic. You can make reservations (which I highly recommend if you're rolling deep like we were), but they do accept walk-ins too. We got seated quickly and were greeted by our server, Kurin an absolute rockstar. She asked if it was our first time, gave great recommendations, and stayed attentive without hovering. Now, this is one of those classic steakhouse setups order your main dish, and the sides are separate. Some of my coworkers ordered drinks that looked like they came out of a mad scientist's lab bubbling, smoking, the whole show. No idea what it was, but it looked impressive. While waiting for the food, we noticed all the medieval décor on the walls. We jokingly asked if we could try some of it on... and to our surprise, Kurin told us we actually could. Next thing you know, we're in full-on photo shoot mode, living our best knight-at-the-round-table lives. Then the food started rolling out. First up, the wedge salad crisp, ice-cold lettuce, perfectly cooked bacon, and all the fixings hitting exactly how they should. Simple, classic, and done right. But the real star? The tomahawk steak. We split it between three grown men who have been known to make all-you-can-eat restaurants nervous and this thing still held its own. Massive doesn't even begin to describe it. Cooked to absolute perfection, incredibly tender (butter knife status), and seasoned so well it didn't need a single extra thing. Tomahawks can be tricky, but these folks clearly know what they're doing. We ordered a variety of sides, but the truffle fries stole the show crispy, flavorful, and the perfect wingman to that steak. Around the table, the burger got rave reviews, and the short rib was another standout rich, tender, and worth every bite. Then someone let it slip that it was my birthday, and out came this awesome macaron topped with a sparkler, because apparently subtlety is not on the menu here (and I'm not complaining). We also tried the deconstructed banana split, which was just as fun to eat as it was to look at. Is it a little pricey? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Between the quality of the food, the unique atmosphere, and top-tier service, you're getting an experience not just a meal. Overall, this place checks all the boxes: great food, great service, great vibe, and even better memories with great people. If you're looking to venture off the Strip for something memorable, this is your spot. And if you're lucky enough to get Kurin just let her guide you. You'll be in good hands (and probably wearing medieval armor at some point).

    Dark, decadent, and intentionally dramatic. Walking into Primal feels like stepping into a scene straight out of a modern Dracula's dining hall. Dark, moody, and intentionally dramatic. The lighting is low (very low), with these long melted, dripping candles setting the tone. Definitely not your typical bright, chatty steakhouse. The ambiance alone is an experience, but the food and drinks absolutely follow through. I didn't order a cocktail just a glass of wine however, I was being nosey checking out other peoples cocktails, and saw some really over the top stuff like fire, dry ice smoke, goblets...So if your looking for a good Insta moment its definitely there. The wine list? Elite. Very curated, very "you came here to indulge." I ordered Leviathan, a bold red blend (cab-forward), and it paired perfectly with my short rib dish. Rich, tender, and deeply flavorful. Like the kind of dish that makes you slow down and actually enjoy your meal. Not rushed, not casual... intentional. And let's talk about that Leviathan for a second, it was so good I literally started buying it on my own after this visit. That alone says everything. Service was solid, the vibe was consistent, and the entire experience felt immersive. There was a live violinist there playing beautiful music. It felt like you're not just eating, you're participating in a whole aesthetic. If you're into dark, luxe, slightly theatrical dining... this is your place. Overall: 10/10 for ambiance, wine, and experience. Not for basic nights. This is a MOOD.

    Actual size armor.

    The ease of making the reservation. The hostess who greeted us with a smile. Our waitress who was enthusiastic & attentive. The excellent 'dirty martini' served without a drop spilled & of course the prime smoked New York Steak & lobster tail. I was a happy Man. Excellent job Primal Steakhouse!

    I just want to say that I truly believe I found one of the best hidden gems in Las Vegas. As someone who has eaten at just about every restaurant in town and spent thousands of dollars dining out, I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, and everyone should experience it. The location may not be in the heart of the Strip or a flashy area, but in my opinion, they serve some of the most delicious food in all of Las Vegas. The steaks are outstanding, the cocktails are exceptional, and every dish we tried was incredible. I also want to give a special thank you to Justin, the manager. He took amazing care of us from the moment we arrived, made sure everything was perfect, and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Justin, thank you again for your outstanding hospitality. I can honestly say I'll be coming back at least once a month. This restaurant is every bit as good as the top restaurants in the most luxurious hotels in Las Vegas--not just the food, but also the service and the cocktails. In my opinion, this is easily one of the Top 5 restaurants in Las Vegas, and I highly recommend everyone give it a try. Thank you again, Justin, for the incredible service!

    Don't let the location of this place fool you. Primal is located in the middle of a shopping center not anywhere near the strip. It was my birthday when we went. We were greeted by the host who stated she loved my dress and told me happy birthday beautiful, which made my day. The service was phenomenal. We ordered the Viking punch, which was delicious. We shared the ahi tuna tacos as the appetizer and the sauce was amazing. We ordered the 24 Oz porterhouse and shared that and it was cooked at a perfect medium rare. I also got a free dessert since it was my birthday. We will definitely be making a return to this place.

    I'm on a work trip in Vegas and we wanted steak. My founder found this place on yelp and we had to check it out. The ratings definitely don't lie I gave them a quick call a few minutes before opening and we were able to get a reservation at 5:30PM on a Wednesday. We confirmed our reservation on Opentable by putting a card down. There are lots of parking in the plaza. We got inside and it was quite spacious. We didn't know if we would need a table or 3 or 4 but they wouldn't seat us unless the whole party was there. Ended up going with a table of 3 but we were seated at a table of 4 so it didn't matter. It was such a cool medieval spot :o We asked the server what drinks she recommended and we ended up ordering Game of Thrones inspired drinks. I forgot what they were called, but the presentation was awesome. I loved how mine didn't taste like alcohol :) It tasted like a sour gummy drink yum! The glasses of water were super trippy too since it was slanted woah... The lighting is a vibe. We got deviled eggs for appetizer and it was so yummy (5/5). 2 deviled eggs came with caviar and 3 with wagyu I'm still thinking about it.... We ordered the 28oz Australian Wagyu Ribeye, mac and cheese, lemon butter asparagus, and mashed potatoes. Wow the wagyu ribeye was melting in my mouth. It was delicious (5/5). Huge portion split between 3 people and we couldn't finish it. The bathroom was super trippy I accidentally went into the men's bathroom Please note it is the one with the wolf and the women's restroom is the one with the girl character. I just thought it was gender neutral and it was just the art on the door wall Overall, I would love to come back for another special occasion whenever i'm back in Vegas :)

    Ask the Community - Primal Steakhouse

    Is this business kid frendly?

    No not really kid friendly at all. They don’t have a kids menu at all. They have burgers but not anything a child would eat. It’s a very intimate setting inside and every time I eat there, no kids are present. I would take the kids somewhere else… 

    Are there gluten free options safe for those with celiac disease?

    Yes most restaurants have a few gluten free options but the steaks are gluten free and if it comes with something not you can tell the people there.

    What vegan options are available? Can menu items be altered to make them vegan?

    Vegetarian options, definitely. I'd call the restaurant to confirm your vegan preferences just to be sure.

    Price range for entries?

    I would say $40 -$50

    Any vegetarian options?

    Yes our kitchen is asked to provide a vegetarian option on a fairly regular occurrence.

    Do you have a corkage fee?

    Yes, $25.00, pretty standard in town.

    Hi There! Curious if the Australian Tomahawk is halal since most imported meat from Australia typically is? Thanks!

    No it is not

    Can we take our 4 year old daughter? We are planning to be there sometime between July 18 to 21st?

    Yes, but I would go fairly early. I assume she can eat steak or chicken as they don't really have a children's menu that I recall. It is a fascinating place and the wait staff is extremely accommodating. Plus the great food!

    Planning on coming in June. with it being over 100 degrees in the evening, are nice shorts and a polo ok?

    That’s fine. Chad

    Is it kid friendly? Do they have high chairs?

    New Happy Hour started this week! Great drinks and small bites at the bar only all night long. Crazy awesome idea with such a big bar

    Do you have happy hour?

    Happy ahour is Sunday to Thursday 5 to 6 pm

    What is the dress code for dinner reservations?

    No strict dress code but it's a fancy restaurant so would dress nice

While I usually share a image its against the rules. I can only describe it as a imaginative background with small and yet delightful variety in amber red hues.

    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 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!

    It depends on your goal. It's a nice place for drinks and to meet up with someone…read more We went on Open Table and saw the menu but they didn't update their menu so everything we were looking forward to trying was not available. 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.

    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.

    So glad I finally made it in! We were trying to kill some time between activities and we decided to…read morepop in for a drink. 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!

Took the time to explain their process for making the ingredients used in their cocktails. Walked us through everything as he made our drinks. Cocktails were fabulous! In addition to the drinks, the atmosphere and concept is really cool. It's an immersive space with some jungle animation happening behind the bar. And to add to it all, the service was top notch. Next time you're in the arts district of Las Vegas, stop in and check them out. I'm not sure if reservations are required so check on that beforehand. Don't miss this spot!

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.

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!

The special Wes Anderson inspired menu is what really prompted us to celebrate at Doberman and it certainly did not disappoint. My husband and I tried multiple cocktails from this specialty menu; The Life Aquatic, The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums, Asteroid City, and Isle of Dogs. While all of these were truly fantastic as well as aesthetically pleasing, The Darjeeling Limited was hands down the drink we enjoyed the most and what will likely bring us back in before this special menu is gone. The Life Aquatic was incredible looking, but was our least favorite as it was quite sweet. The space is absolutely gorgeous with so many unique art pieces and tchotchkes to look at. Our waitress, Taylor, was also very friendly and ensured we had a good experience. I am docking a star though as I had a few minor complaints... 1) My husband put under the reservation that we were celebrating my new job; something both hostesses immediately congratulated me on upon arrival as well as our waitress. Being that we were there to celebrate, it was odd that we were seated at the table in the back, right next to the restrooms. When we arrived at 7:30pm, Doberman was only at about 20% capacity (it filled up later); being seated next to the restrooms was noisy from the doors slamming and busy with everyone walking right past us. Kind of a bummer and something we didn't realize until we were 1/2 way through our 1st cocktails. 2) There is a sign next to the front door asking you to not take photographs or video during your time at Doberman; something the hostess reiterated as well. I will admit, I was guilty of sneaking a few photos, but the large party of 7 that was sat across from us later in the evening were blatantly taking dozens of selfies with the flash on and standing up many times to take video / photos of the space, some also with the flash on. This was incredibly disruptive and we were honestly surprised that no staff told them to please put their phones away. 3) The volume of the music kept changing. While we enjoyed the selection of music, sometimes it was so loud my husband and I could not carry on a conversation, while other times it was pleasant background music. The volume inconsistency was a bit annoying. Despite my 3 minor issues, I truly loved Doberman Drawing Room. The atmosphere and drinks are well worth the hype. Added bonus was feeling like we were on vacation in NYC, Chicago, or London; a fun little escape from the neon glimmer of our desert city.
