My favorite bar that was referred to me by my good bartender friend who always suggests the best of the best. The only bar yet that I have found in my city that I am okay with spending $20 for a tasty cocktail. Always surprised at how much I like each new drink I try. These bartenders definitely have great skill and knowledge in mixing the perfect drink! When my friends visit from out of town, Vesper is always my go-to bar. If you aren't satisfied with a drink, the servers are very kind and friendly about getting you a different one right away. Love the atmosphere and decor. I always seem to find seating even on a busy Saturday night. read more

Vesper Bar - Lounges Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

My husband and myself are very very particular about our Old Fashioned's and this is my second time being completely pleased with my cocktail ! Down to the traditional Bing Cherry, I refuse to have one if they don't have them at locations. The serving and bartending staff, for a busy Vegas venue is honestly impressive. Even with a large event happening and us having a small table to the side, we were given amazing customer service. This will be a Vegas stop for me always and recommended to all. read more

Cody at Vesper Bar invests the time, passion and patience to create fine cocktails. He listens to your ideas and creates cocktail masterpieces. He is engaged and enthusiastic about what he does and ensures that his clients are satisfied. What a great addition to this establishment. read more

Jason is the . Best . Bartender that I have ever met. I typically struggle to order mixed drinks, but after describing what I like, he got it right every single time. Worth an entire trip to Vegas! Thank you, Jason! Separately, vesper is less crowded than Chandelier, which I liked better. I watched three games of the world series there (go Red Sox) and was extremely well taken care of throughout! I highly recommend! read more

Yes, this place is great. Does it beat my Downtown Cocktail Room? Hell no. But if I'm on the strip, this is the equivalent drink wise! Not service wise. I enjoyed a Honeycomb cocktail and it was made extremely well. Super tasty and I love that they use hand cut ice. I was able to sip on my beverage as long as I wanted and not have it get watered down. The environment is obviously gorgeous being inside the Cosmopolitan, the service is mediocre at best, the drinks are amazing. So, if you don't mind possibly being ignored at the bar for 5 minutes check it out! I obviously gave this place 4 stars instead of 3 because my drink was that good. You guys barely got a 4 from me, just so you know. read more

The drinks are great. The service needs to catch up. We sat at the bar for ten minutes before anyone acknowledged our existence. The bar was busy, but it didn't seem overwhelming. At some point the bartender got his act together and gave us a menu. Things got better after that. The menu has two parts; the classic cocktails and the vesper interpretation.  Both new and old versions are well prepared and almost made up for the shoddy service...almost. read more

Brandon & this bar were FANTASTIC!!! He was a gem - friendly, funny and his service was over the top! He even brought us a side of cucumbers to accompany our Pimm's Cups (which he previously thought he had ran out of). Such a great time :) read more

Vesper Bar - Lounges Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I love this bar! It's a great pre-dinner drink, after dinner spot or just a place to relax and people watch. The service is always excellent, and we've never had an issue in getting a seat. The service is always excellent with cocktail servers walking by constantly. Great selection of liquor and a nice specialty drink list. They make a stellar Moscow mule (even if it isn't served in a copper mug)! Definitely recommend this bar if you're looking for a place to sit down and enjoy a cocktail. read more

The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars is because it's ideally located to people watch. The drinks are okay too. The service is downright pathetic. read more

Located in the middle (or does anyone really every know where anything is at in these huge hotel casinos?) of The Cosmopolitan. It's a little open to the ching-ching and hubbub of the casino, but I guess it is what it is in Vegas. I read the menu and while some things sounded pretty good, I actually wanted something different. Talked to the bartender about what I was thinking and he made a drink with tequila, ginger soda, cayenne and a dash of ghost chili oil. I'm also sure there were bitters in it, because precisely 0% of mixology drinks have no bitters. Anyhow, it was exactly what I wanted. After that I ordered a few more drinks just by explaining the taste profile I wanted and the bartender nailed them. It was great, synergy with a mixology guy.. now we're talking. Then his shift ended. The next bartender wasn't bad, but he wasn't on the same wavelength and I would have to ask him to change things in my drinks. Not really an over-all slam here, just a mild let-down from the previous guy. I'm sure he made on-menu drinks very nicely. Service was a little on the slow side, but yeah.. Vegas. Prices were high, but yeah, Vegas. All in all, if I was ever forced to go back to Las Vegas again (Im praying not to have to), I would definitely return. read more

A low 2.5 stars Good drinks, SLOW SERVICE. I never got the apology the other users got when things took too long, maybe we didn't seem like high-rollers... The cocktails were expensive but thats expected considering their location in the hot new casino on the strip. Decent music and comfortable couches helped with the wait. This place really deserves 1.5 stars, but I bumped it up a star since the drinks were tasty. Oh, make sure to ask for tap water to help rehydrate or be prepared to get a $5 bottle of Figi water. No thanks. read more

I've loved this bar for a long time, the drinks are great and I love the atmosphere! But I was shocked with how understaffed they were last night, seeing as how there were UFC fights at The Chelsea that evening. Vegas can get super packed whenever there are fights in town. It took 30+ minutes for someone to notice us and another 30 minutes to get our cocktails...I was shocked at how understaffed they were on a busy Friday night. It isn't the waitresses fault, they were doing as much as they could and kept smiles on their faces. I ordered the Signature Cosmo which I love but it came without a garnish, I thought that was odd since it usually does. When you pay $33+tip for two basic cocktails and slow service, it can be a little frustrating. Also, The Henry(very limited menu) and Secret Pizza(take away pizza) WERE THE ONLY restaurants open past midnight on a crazy busy Friday night!!?! Holsteins lounge was also open for apps but it was tiny and way too loud with the DJ they had hired...I was bummed because my friend who is a journalist for UFC was in town and we were trying to catch up after he got off work ): we ended up leaving after the drink at Vesper to get something to eat/drink somewhere else. read more

My boyfriend and I found this place and were excited to go since it is known for it's hand crafted cocktails. We were warmly greeted by Roger who went out of his way to make our experience wonderful! We tried a couple of drinks on the menu and when I asked if they could make something special, they not only obliged, but gave us the background of the liquors used and how the flavor profiles went well together. There are 2 Rogers who work there. Both are award winning and surely know a thing or two about making a great cocktail! Strongly suggest a stop here if you are a cocktail lover! read more

Vesper Bar - Rodger's take in the Dark and Stormy - Lounges Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

If Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets wanted to sip craft cocktails while privately heckling passers-by then this place was made for them. The bar is located on the ground floor of The Cosmopolitan on the main walkway between drop-off/reception in one tower and the main restaurants, clubs, shopping, casino, etc in the other tower. Grab a seat with a view at the bar or in the lounge of the Vesper Bar and you'll be treated to a nonstop caravan of interesting people and mixed levels of sobriety. Even though the bar borders the promenade, its lighting and layout/decor is relaxing and makes you feel far removed removed from the crowds. People-watching aside, the craft cocktail menu/execution at Vesper Bar is one of the best on the Strip. The concept of pairing classic cocktails with a more modern interpretation keeps the menu interesting/evolving. The only complaint that keeps them from being five stars for me is that the modern interpretations can, at times, be overcomplicated by too many ingredients, even taking into account the fact that I'm a little resistant to tinkering too much with classics. The cocktails seem to lean more heavily toward those that are gin-based, and some of our favorites from our last visit were the White Lady and the Last Word; the bar's namesake cocktail is also excellent. We usually stay at Vdara when we come to town and, when we do, this is a must-stop for good cocktails and great people-watching. If you have an hour or so to kill and really appreciate craft cocktails or just people-watching then the Vesper Bar doesn't disappoint. read more

I am a Vegas local, and when I decide to make the rare trip down to the Strip or show my friends from out-of-town the city, I always take them here. Yes, the drinks are pretty pricey even though it is a craft bar, I never order on the menu. There's one bartender I always go to (this awesome woman who is just a genius at mixology) and if I want to have something fruity, but strong with Chartreuse, but under $15, she makes something amazing. At this bar if I pay $10 - $25 for a drink, it is more than worth it. Go here for the experience and for some of the best custom drinks you'll ever have. It's more of a lounging bar, quieter than the ones downstairs, though it can be hard at times to hear the person next to you or meet other people since it's still noisy enough. But honestly, best craft bar I can think of in Vegas. read more

Don't come to this bar is you're just getting a beer or a simple well drink. No! You have to try the drinks they have on their menu! Yes, it is pricey but it's so good. There are some things that are not on the menu but you can ask for them to make it for you and charge you a regular drink price ($14). If you happen to be checking in and there's a long line, have your friend stand in line for you and you can go to this bar for some drinks. Atmosphere is classy-casual. Don't be intimidated by other customers - guys with blazers and gals in sequinned dresses. Vesper doesn't discriminate in service. Tip well, because drinks are amazeballs. read more

Been to Vegas many times. Best place to get great cocktails! Brandon makes a perfect Manhattan. Recommend this bar highly.

Adorable lobby bar that doesn't feel like it's right in a lobby. Way bigger than it looks from the casino side. Nice drinks, good bartender, and cool atmosphere. It's super cute too. I'm always the DD so I got a non alcoholic drink and the bartender gave me a huge drink for the price of the small one. Pretty awesome!!! read more

2.5 stars really, but it's not a 3. As Public Enemy once said..."Don't Believe the Hype!" I so wanted to love this place. It looked so cool from pictures and stories. However, what we discovered was that bar service was ridiculously slow and the barkeep seemed to care so little about us. He took our orders and mixed the drinks. They were delicious. At $13/ a drink, prices were reasonable. However, he had the personality of a haystack. No banter, no freindly genstures. Not even a retro-cool giving of greif like Chicago's Wiener Circle. Just business. Sorry, but when I'm paying for some mixology, I expect a littler banter. We went at 2 in the afternoon, so it wasn't like the guy was busy. Basically super disappointing. There are so many place in Vegas (both fancy and divey), sadly I don't think I'll be returning here. read more

Seems anything inside the Cosmopolitan is worthy of praise, and The Vesper Bar is no exception. On my way to the fabulous Chandelier I passed The Vesper Bar, and thought "hmm.... I need a drink to get me to the Chandelier" (yeah only in Vegas is that thought process logical). So I stopped here, not alone of course. My party and I went up to the Chic bar/lounge and I ordered a Moscow Mule. Mmmmm delicious. The only problem, their Moscow Mules don't come in Copper Mugs.... Darn, Darn, Darn.... That would have landed this place another star! But it tasted delicious. This Ultra-Lounge is upscale without the smell of pretentiousness you'd find elsewhere. Come here to prepare yourself for the Glamour and excellence that awaits you inside the Cosmopolitan, and on your way out. You deserve it. read more

This place was absolutely amazing last night! I like that it's never packed and the drinks are strong! Two penicillins and you're good to grab casino drinks after that. No but seriously- try the penicillin and give this place a shot. The drinks are fairly quick, the service is great, and it's so chill. read more

My husband and I tried three drinks each here on Boxing day. Each one was fabulous and our server never let us sit long before checking on us. read more

Brandon was the best! My next visit to Vegas, I will definitely return to Vesper Bar.

Brandon is THE BEST BAR TENDER on site, hands down. My wife and I came to this bar and he was very professional in customer service and personnel with us in regards to preference drinks. He even gave us his personal specialty drinks off the menu which was completely exquisite and very complementary to our attendance to the Vesper bar Las Vegas Nevada. Ask for Brandon at the Vesper bar, you will be not be disappointed!! Bravo to his excellence in customer service!! read more

Jeff is pretty much the best bartender in Vegas. He goes above and beyond for his customers and makes amazing drinks!

Came to the vesper bar and Brandon made us the BEST rum cocktail. Lit it on fire! By far the most genuine and outgoing bartender we have met here!!!!! read more

I loved this bar. Very modern, fancy and upscale...just to my liking. It's a great place to just chill, have a drink and people watch. They also have cool decorum and comfortable chairs. The bartender and servers were very helpful and friendly. This is a place I would definitely come back to. read more

Definitely a place to see and be seen in the Cosmopolitan. Great drink menu for those of the hard liquor bent. Not so good for the beer drinkers. read more

Sexy little bar tucked in next to the check-in desks. It's one of the quieter places to drink at The Cosmo. Definitely recommend!

Had higher hopes for this bar based on the yelp reviews. Place was empty, because it was thanksgiving week. The bartenders were attentive. The drink I had was the wanderlust, which was ok. Drink choices were just ok for a hotel bar. The bar was also peeling. Can management not afford a new counter? read more

Great bar! Very loud as it is located inside the Cosmopolitan. Drinks are $16 a piece so not the best option if you're in town to save money. Needless to say, order a Vesper at the Vesper Bar. They do it just right. read more

Vesper Bar - VESPER. - Lounges Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

"Awww yeeaah!" I know. I'm so out of touch with catch phrases and hip sayings. Ah well. At least I know a nice bar when I see one. Vesper definitely treated us well as we chose this bar/lounge to kick start our evening activities during my BFF's '29 and still dayum fine' birthday weekend. Tasty, quality drinks in a beautiful setting with my bestie made for a fun evening. read more

I WISH we had visited here more than once, because I learned about a new favorite drink: the Moscow Mule. We stopped here one evening for drinks, and it was not very crowded, but there was a steady stream of people - good for people watching. We sat at the bar although I might have preferred one of the cushioned chairs - it was a long day. :) I ordered the Moscow Mule, because of my love of all things ginger, and this drink does NOT disappoint. I love that the menu offers you a brief history of the drinks - it really does entice you to order things. At least, I felt a bit suckered in by the "story" of the drink. The two bartenders we interacted with were excellent - the first one seemed like he could pass for David Copperfield's love child... and given it's Vegas, well... JUST KIDDING, David (and your fine attorneys!!). But really, the mannerisms and look were David circa...well... (my attorney is telling me I shouldn't type any more!) The other bartender was a bit more friendly, and didn't remind me of a celebrity lovechild. The presentation of the drinks also sets them apart. I ordered variations on the mule for the rest of my stay, and none matched Vesper Bar in terms of quality nor presentation. This place is awesome. I wish I could go back NOW. read more

The Cosmo's lobby bar is, unsurprisingly, beautiful. They serve up strong craft cocktails here, offering the classics and their modern interpretations of them. I was particularly fond of the Wanderlust, their modern play on the Paloma, which features mezcal, lemon, ginger, tamarind and grapefruit beer ($16). If nothing on the menu jumps out at you, you can also give the bartender three descriptive words and they'll craft something unique for you. read more

Love this place! In our search for a cool local spot for classic cocktails, we came across the Vesper Bar. Wow, what a great find this is. I am a big fan of Gin, and had my very first Gin fizz here. Our waitress was phenomenal, and helped us through the menu. We may have "tried" many of cocktails, all were awesome! Its hard to find places like this that make classic cocktails such as the ones we had. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable, and knew all of the drinks, how they tasted, etc. We were able to describe to her the things we liked in a drink, and she was successfully able to provide recommendations of other drinks that we should try. Her choices were spot on. This place is simply unassuming since its literally in the lobby of the Cosmo hotel. We went the last time we were in Vegas again, and again the drinks were awesome! If you are into classic cocktails, this is a great spot. read more

Vesper is more of an upscale Lounge. It isn't the type of place you go for a crowd, but it's a good place to wind down (or up) with a yummy martini. The drink menu is impressive and the bartenders really know their stuff. If you are looking for a signature cocktail, trust in them and you will likely enjoy the results. With a smile, I was mixed up a custom concauction for my tastes specifically. Outstanding! Our group of 10 enjoyed the vibe and elegance here so much that we just hung out and didn't end up leaving to go anywhere else for the night.

Great, low key place to sit and talk with friends over some artisan cocktails. The vibe here is perfect for a Sunday night. The setting is exactly what I'd want in my living room when hosting company -- low lights, high back quilted couches, some sort of wave-water light fixture above and the changing screens of the Cosmopolitan entrance in the distant background. As some reviewers said previously, the service can be a little slow, even when there's only about 5 tables in the whole place. And the drinks are a little on the pricey side, but I guess that's to be expected. Overall, I'd go back next time I need to wind down over a drink or two. read more

Old fashioned flight por favor! I'm no mixologist and not a fan of fu-fu drinks...but this spot is an exception. Being an avid whiskey and scotch drinker, notice I did not say connoisseur, I told myself that I can deal with drinking an old fashion. Lingo in the game is all over the place since I referred to old fashions more toward a type of vessel or container, but did hear of drinks yet not exposed to it before Vespered. My beloved sister turned me on to this place while visiting from the Yay Area (Stand Up!). She claims that she got raved reviews from friends staying at the Cosmo, so we hit it up. Low and behold, the place was a hit. Lily was the first to serve us, and serve us up she did. My sis asked her to create four concoctions of old fashioned drinks for her, her BF, myself and my lady. Boy were we surprised on what we got. Although, it took awhile for Lily to whip it up, the wait was well worth it. I can't exactly recall, but remember that one of the drinks was made with Redemption Rye Whiskey and egg whites, the other was with Booker's and lemon/orange peels, another with straight dopeness and the last one made with fairy dust, idk, all I remember was that it was on hit! Please believe me! Once it touches your lips (Frank the Tank Voice), it makes you wanna take miniature baby sips to savor every moment with it. The rounded cubes of ice keep em nice and chilled too. SMH...in a good way. This place is by far one of my favorite joints. You can find it dead ahead when getting off the garage elevator, ain't no missing it, and an excellent place to get warmed up for the festivities that the Cosmo has to offer. Enjoy! read more

Not good. Actually really disappointing. We decided to head to cosmopolitan to get a drink at someplace "kind of cool and swanky." We pick the vesper bar. There's a drink where you pick three qualities and they make you a drink. Sounds amazing. The bartender didn't know what I was talking about. I didn't make this up! I don't go into places asking for totally random choices it was on the menu! All he asked was the alcohol. I said gin. And he chose a drink on the menu. It was so strong. So gross. I wanted the fresh juice. I wanted ginger beer but he didn't ask about that. The drink came. It was gross. It was also 16 dollars. It stayed completely full. No one came back to check. If I chose a drink for someone id come back within 30 minutes to make sure they liked it. It wasn't even busy. It was a Sunday. Won't be back. read more
