    Here is a copy of the receipt where we were charged for them to open a couple of bottles of wine. I only had 2 glasses, 1 large and 1 small. So for each glass they charged me $2.00. Now, I have been in many bars and worked in several, never has a bartender charged to open a bottle!! Here is a copy of the receipt!!

    Mezze Plate

    If it wasn't for the trip to one of the hottest places in the world - none other than Death Valley National Park - I wouldn't have discovered this quaint dessert town of Pahrump; and this town is unincorporated, too. It's a good distance from the Sin City (one hour to the west); it's also a good distance from Death Valley (one hour to the east.) One of the things that this town can boast about is this cute wine place where you can grab a glass of tap wine and some small plates. This was so me-ish place so we picked this place to celebrate my birthday just last week. We were warmly welcomed by one of the ladies upon arrival. Although unassuming on the outside, it's a good-size restaurant. The bar area is spacious where some solo diners can sit with ease. The Wednesday night we dined in, there appeared to be some regulars sipping their favorite wines or cocktails (or even beers.) We grabbed one of the high-top tables to the right. The A/C was a bit strong where we got cold a bit but this appeared necessary to regulate the temperature throughout; you never know how warm an indoor facility like this can get quickly due to the dessert temperatures that can go near 90 degrees on any given day in the spring time. We understood. What caught my attention was the wines on tap. There are/were 6 of them. Our kind server gave me a little sample of Hayes Valley Meritage to taste to see if it would suit my palate. And it sure did! Actually, I was immediately impressed with it so I asked for a full 9oz glass. There is/was a good selection of small plates to savor as well. We went with Mezze Plate (slices of fresh cucumber, olives, earthy tasting hummus (tasted so organic with low amount of sodium), marinated cherry tomatoes, red pepper and feta cheese) is/was a good portion that can be shared between 2-3 people easily (this plate comes with pita bread pieces.) The mozzarella cheese and cherry tomato skewers with fresh basil leaves were absolutely beautiful on the rectangular plate and tasted amazing as well. Soup of the Day was broccoli cheddar that was accompanied by crunchy croutons on the side. If I asked for something better than this, I would forever be the world's number one complainer (lol)!! Once we devoured our foods, we, of course, concluded our fantastic dinner by ordering a dessert. We got the Chocolate Mouse cake (ugh, I wish I took a picture of the food menu; I completely spaced! I don't remember the exact name of this dessert.) This was a good size which can be shared between 2 people (if you only need a few to several bites.) It wasn't too sweet which I enjoyed; it nicely enhanced the whole bday dinner occasion to conclude the much-needed relaxing dine-out experience. The Wine Down is Pahrump's proud and joy. If you end up Airbnb'ing in this unincorporated dessert town for your next Death Valley trip, dine here at The Wine Down. You will not be disappointed.

    I couldn't resist taking a few bites before snapping a picture of the amazing tri-tip sandwich.

    What a gem in Pahrump!! Tucked into the Albertsons shopping center is this wonderful bar and bistro. Big smiles from all the staff greet you as you enter this tastefully decorated establishment. Lots of wine to choose from of course, but also beers on tap and a full bar to handle whatever libations you're in the mood for. I visited at lunchtime so I only sampled the food, but wow!! I had the tri-tip sandwich with fries and it was one of the best I've ever had. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying their visit and the staff made a point to keep checking on everyone. I was only visiting the area, but I could see this being a regular hangout if I was a resident. If I'm lucky enough to visit the area again I will definitely return to The Wine Down!!

    Parmesan Truffle Fries

    Found this intimate and chill wine bar in the Albertson's shopping center! The decor is relaxing and they have a light food menu to pair with your favorite wine. One of the owners, Jennifer welcomed us in and gave us a menu. They have wines on tap! They have a wide variety of wines and prices to fit most budgets, so lower end wines to high end wines. She said they have fun events, like painting on growlers, & live music and we can find information about happenings on their website. I chose a flight of sweet wines and paired it with bruschetta and some parmesan truffle fries. The bruschetta was fully loaded & so good! The fries came with a dipping sauce that was very unique and slightly tart. There is a giant TV behind the bar which sequenced through tranquil vacation scenes. FYI: sporting events are not shown here. You will have to stop by and experience this place while you are in Pahrump!

    My literal passport...

    I'm mind blown...I usually love wine bars, and I was super excited to sit down and have a glass after being at the DMV all day, I sit down and the lady asks for my id, so I give her my passport (thinking it will be easier since my id is about to expire and I already had my passport on me) after 5 minutes she told me she couldn't serve me...at first I thought she was joking, I kindly Told her I'm 26, a bartender as well, and I'm coming from the dmv, she said "I've never had to look at a passport for ID before" whoever hired this lady, please reconsider your hiring process...after she finally accepted it I told her it was okay and I just left.

    We had a long day checking out Ash Meadows. We rolled into Pahrump and found this fantastic gem of a place! They offer great wines (even on tap), beer on tap, full bar, wine tastings, and slushy. Super warm and welcoming staff, charcuterie board food, and atmosphere. They were kind enough to place GF crackers and regular crackers on separate plates. This place hit the spot. We will definitely be back.

    Dessert!

Later we met the head chef chandi who made us the most delicious curry branzino with a side of fried rice and a fabulous comp tofu cheesecake for his birthday. 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!

    Alchemist Bar and Restaurant is sort of New American Global Fusion sort of Cocktail Bar and…read moreRestaurant located in Chinatown. Inside is a good sized bar, mostly high tops, and some booths. They have won a few awards. One award was best cocktail bar off the strip. Another award was the best independent restaurant from OnDeck. So this place is certainly Worth a Try! The cocktails are like no others anywhere. I tried the Nonna's Concoction. It had tomato water in it and rhubarb, tequila, and mezcal in it. My husband tried the one called Butter Me Up that came with a tiny plate of pop corn. That drink was incredibly strong but also layered with many flavors and even after your sip the flavors magically kept rolling. Spring rolls of the day (sea bass) were presented so fancy and seemed free of oil and were tasty. The Norwegian Salmon had the most masterfully crisped skin on it that stayed crisp till the end. (in case you don't know that is very rare and very few restaurants have someone that can do that) The salmon was moist and medium in the center. It sat on the very buttery pomme puree that was embellished with delicious sauces. This all was also adored with a fancy piece of toast that tasted so good with the potatoes. My husband tried the Jumping Beef (Vietnamese Style) and it came with the fancy toast, a nicely prepared sunny egg and miso confit tomatoes. I tried a small bite of the beef and it was very tender and tasty. Our server was very attentive and very helpful. I would rate 4.5 only because both proteins were very thin. Yelp will not allow a 4.5 rating so I rounded up because of spectacular service and some way out there spectacular flavors.

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.

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 ;)

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!

The indoor space is sexy and dark, beautifully designed with lots of velvet and rich textures all around. In a cool contrast, the back patio is a bright, vibrant mix of pink, turquoise, and white. While you're out there, be sure to snap a picture in their photo booth! The staff here is simply INCREDIBLE! They are always so welcoming and do a fantastic job of helping walk you through the menu. Because the cocktail menu changes frequently with unique, rotating themes, you get a completely fresh experience every single time you visit. On my last trip, the theme was music through different eras of time, which was easily one of my favorites yet. They also have standard house cocktails, be sure to check out the punch of the day! Before you leave, don't forget to check out their cool merch and swag, which is beautifully framed up on the wall right behind the bar. No matter where you are staying in Vegas, make sure to put Velveteen Rabbit at the very top of your destination list!
