Why we recommend it
Herbs & Rye is a cocktail bar and steakhouse on West Sahara Avenue, west of the Strip, and it is a good choice for anyone looking for a serious drink away from the casinos. The bar sums up its approach with a modest line: it makes pretty good steaks and really good cocktails. That combination of a proper dinner menu and a cocktail list taken seriously is what sets it apart.
The cocktails are the main reason most people come, and the bar was ranked number 25 on North America's 50 Best Bars list in 2024. The menu separates drinks by era, with short lessons alongside each one, so reading it is a quick tour of cocktail history. The room is in the speakeasy style, large and red-walled with oak tables. It is worth asking the bartender for a recommendation, whether you prefer a classic stirred drink, something sour and refreshing or a spirit-forward nightcap. Tell them what you usually drink and how strong you like it, and let them guide you. If you are new to cocktail bars, it is a relaxed place to learn what you like.
A full menu of steaks and Italian classics gives the bar a second identity as a restaurant, so you can make an evening of it, starting with a drink at the bar and moving on to dinner. Check the current menu on the website before you go, as dishes and prices can change.
Herbs & Rye is open Monday to Saturday from 5pm to 3am and is closed on Sundays. It gets busy at happy hour and late at the weekend, so arrive early in the evening for a seat at the bar. It suits couples, small groups and cocktail lovers, and it is a good option for a late dinner after a show. Bring photo ID, and dress smart casual.
The bar is on West Sahara Avenue, a short taxi or ride-share west of the northern end of the Strip and not far from the Golden Steer Steakhouse and The STRAT. It is easy to combine with dinner elsewhere on Sahara Avenue, or with a trip to the tiki bars of Chinatown and West Charleston for a longer night out. As with any evening of cocktails, plan to take a taxi or ride-share back to your hotel rather than driving.
