And we were here for a show and…read moreended up checking out this place after a bartender told us to on property after the show ended. And I'm so glad we did! This is such a cool bar on property at the Rio. It's a very Brazilian vibe in here and just so cool. The lounge seating is absolutely beautiful. I just got a gin and tonic, but next time I come back here, definitely grabbing one of their tropical cocktails which looked so good. There was live entertainment when we were here, too. Such a cool spot. Would definitely come back here again!

A new development on our last visit was the new Lapa Lounge Bar. A large round bar between the…read morecasino floor and the front doors. Adhering to the Brazil vibe, it has a gold jaguar climbing the bar and a very chique vibe with pops of gold and patterned seat upholstery. And it's a perfectly convenient stop for a drink when meeting others in the lobby to leave for dinner. Bartender Christian is as friendly as all the staff at the Rio and took great care of us. The cocktail game is real and we had some excellent, beautiful drinks. There was a live singer some nights. (Lapa & Luckley's have happy hours a few days a week) Also, I don't know how often this happens, but while in the casino we were given a buy one get one coupon for drinks here! But be sure to tip on your total before the discount ;)

He is one of those artists who is very passionate. Highly recommend.

I met the most wonderful girl next to me at the bar waiting for her friend who also happens to celebrate birthday today! It's like fate. We had an instant connections and I was shocked she spoke such fluent mandarin! For the drinks we were given different kind of infused shots and then so many gourmet cocktails one after another it was mind - blowing. Everything is carefully selected and curated. The service was so personable that it felt like a private event that was just catered towards us. Nothing was rushed. We felt like we were at home in Chicago not a traveler one bit!

For mains, Diane again opted for a Prime Rib French Dip with Swiss Cheese, and received a big bowl of au jus as requested. I uncharacteristically ordered Fettuccine Alfredo, which I was pleased to find out was scratch made and excellent. Bits of cheese adhered to the pasta as they should. I declined to add some chicken after being told that shrimp was not available to be included in the dish, but in the future I will likely add some fowl, which should add another dimension to an already fine base for a memorable pasta creation. Blue Ox Tavern's owner walked over to our table to introduce himself and welcome us, and he kindly agreed to give us the benefit of Happy Hour savings for the apps that we had ordered just five minutes before HH officially began but had not yet arrived. Our server, who also made us feel welcome, and satisfied all our dining needs, was Allan the bartender. If he is as proficient as a bartender as he was as our server, he should be very able indeed. We will surely be back! XXXX-1/2 stars overall for this particular visit.

Will definitely come back!!

Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Absolutely LOVED this place! I had no idea this place existed despite frequenting this shopping center often in Chinatown. Lots of parking available. I was so confused at first for the entrance. Lol Walk toward the arch way under the "Petrol Head" sign and keep walking until you see an engine sign and the door will be right under it. Came in for cocktails and my friend and I loved them all. The Pink Slip, Pit Lane Passion, and Silk Road "Hashirua" which were all very good and fruity. Definitely order these if you like your cocktails on the sweeter side. My friend's Nitro Espresso Martini was delicious too! We both like our espresso on the sweeter creamier side than bitter and this one checked the boxes. I want to come back to try more food. We ordered the garlic fries to snack on, which was okay. Our server was very nice and attentive. She checked on us often and at the right times. Ambiance was amazing! I loved the theme they have going on. Vibes are very lowkey yet lively. Decorations are on point. It was pretty dead at around 9pm but it got pretty busy as the night went on. Loved the photo booth they had inside there as well ($7.50 for 2 strips and electronic copies). I definitely recommend this place for cocktails and good vibes. Looking forward to coming back here again!

My wife enjoyed it even more than I did, and she absolutely loved her cocktail. It was fun seeing how much she enjoyed the experience.

While this wasn't my first visit to The Golden Tiki, it was my first time making a reservation. In…read morethe past, I've popped in on a whim whenever I was in the mood for something fun and different. As someone who loves all things quirky and unusual, The Golden Tiki has always been right up my alley. When a friend came into town and wanted to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, I thought it would be the perfect place to kick off our evening. I was able to make an online reservation just a couple of days in advance, which was quick and painless. What I didn't realize was that they offer a weekday happy hour and live music! We were seated in "Bull***t Corner," which turned out to be the perfect spot. We had a great view of both the bar and the entertainment, making for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. Also, can't forget to mention the service. The hosts were fun but our actual server was absolutely hysterical and fit right in with the fun. She kept us laughing throughout our visit, while also being incredibly attentive. Despite the busy atmosphere, she made sure our drinks were flowing, checked on us regularly, and made sure everything was taken care of. It's not often you find someone who can be both entertaining and genuinely great at their job, but she pulled it off effortlessly. Our guests were genuinely impressed, and everyone had a fantastic time. The drinks were excellent as always--I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad cocktail here. I haven't had the chance to try their food yet, and we decided to stick with a few drinks since we already had dinner reservations elsewhere, but after this visit, I definitely plan on coming back on a weeknight to order from the food menu. If you're looking for a fun, unique Vegas experience with great drinks, and plenty of personality, The Golden Tiki is always a solid choice.

The bartenders were upbeat and welcoming and made grest drinks. It can get packed so if you need a table call ahead for a reservation or get a first come first serve seat at the bar.

I opted for a comfier lounge chair next to the bar and checked out the menu on the table. When I was ready to order, I went up to the bar. Which, if you've been to bars in general, they happily take your order and you wait and bring the drinks back to your seat. Well not at Vesper. Went up ready to order and the bartender asked where we were seated and said a waitress would come by and that we couldn't order with him. We sat, we waited 15-20 mins and no one came around. We waited long enough and decided it wasn't worth our money. If trying to get an order in was this difficult, can't imagine what the rest of the service is like.

They have a wide selection of drinks that seem to be infused type drinks. There was a couple glitches, this is why our review is three stars. The bar was not crowded at all. It was us and another group of four. Our bartender gave us the menus and kind of disappeared. We asked for a photo and she said well when I catch up, I will do that for you. As stated there was only another group of four and two bartenders. She was over with them as if they were friends talking to them the entire time. She finally came around and gave us our drinks and offered to take our picture, but by then we had already taken pictures. We had the Crimson drink, which was very good. It had watermelon, flavoring watermelon squares and watermelon flavored Red Bull. I ordered Diet Coke and the first one was horrible. It tasted like it was mixed with something. She was kind enough to pour it out and bring me another one, it unfortunately also had some weird kind of taste. I recommend this place do a deep cleaning. The bar smelled like hot melted metal. The the staff here had no personality whatsoever and was borderline rude and not taking care of the customers. It was a very quiet day and we should've been served with a smile and better attitude. Sorry, this place missed the Mark.
