Tucked away from the typical bustling bars, 1923 Prohibition Bar is an unforgettable speakeasy experience. It’s a classy and unique place where you can expect premium spirits and specialty cocktails served in a swanky, secluded bar with live entertainment, including piano players, burlesque bar dancers, and more.
This blog will explore how the 1923 Prohibition Bar stands out by perfectly blending a world-class bourbon selection with authentic burlesque entertainment, creating one of the best nightlife experiences on the Las Vegas Strip.
The Bourbon Sanctuary: A Connoisseur’s Dream
At 1923 Prohibition Bar, the focus is on a curated specialty cocktail menu that highlights classic drinks with unique twists. The bar is a “bourbon sanctuary”, offering an extensive collection of premium whiskeys, bourbons, Scotch, and rye.
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a curious novice, the knowledgeable staff and mixologists can guide you through whiskey tastings and craft exceptional cocktails. The menu features handcrafted drinks focusing on whiskey-based libations. Signature offerings include barrel-aged Old-Fashioneds with unique flavors that set them apart in the craft cocktail space.
For the true enthusiast, the experience goes beyond the menu. Our staff can guide you through a flight of bourbons, allowing you to compare and contrast the subtle notes of different mash bills—from the spiciness of a high-rye bourbon to the mellow, smooth character of a wheated bourbon. It’s an education and joy that deepens your appreciation for America’s spirit.
The Allure of Burlesque & Live Entertainment
