herbs & rye

herbs & rye is a dark and dimly lit restaurant & lounge located about 7 minutes off the strip. the menu consists of classic american & italian fare like juicy steaks and pasta. additionallyherbs& rye's massive menu of handcrafted cocktails is arranged by the period of which the cocktail was made famous. 

we sipped on cocktails from the "prohibition era," spanning from 1920-1933. this is a late night spot. a perfect place for a late dinner and night cap cocktail. they close at 3 am.

cocktails: the rat pack and the hemingway are great options!
food: calamari, steak and potatoes are delish!

seemingly sketchy location, check. line 20 deep waiting to get in at 5pm on a saturday, check. fantastic steaks, check. one of the best nights of cocktails i've ever had, check. get off the strip and get toherbs& rye. must visit every time i go to vegas.

heavily praised for an extensive era-specific list of craft cocktails with a menu full of sustainable organic meats and plates far more interesting than the average bar or loungeherbs& rye had long been a place of interest and with recent reports suggesting the kitchen to be firing on all cylinders i finally decided to stop by, a saturday feast for one in the dimly-lit dining area my reward for eschewing alternative plans on las vegas boulevard south. designed in a style somewhere between “old time vegas”

after driving pass by herbs& rye  for many years i finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  they serve classic cocktails that were popular during the prohibition era and before that time like the gothic age (unknown-1865) and golden age (1865-1900): here's an example of of some of the drinks: i loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them:herbs& rye also serves italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, i'll try some next time!  i only had the appetite to drink: i really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  they get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !

so nice, i ate here twice!!. i recently returned home from a week long trip to vegas and find myself telling everyone about one thing! the amazing food we had atherbs& rye. the first night we shared a caesar salad ( top 2 caesars i've had), the calamari ( crisp, perfectly seasoned, banana peppers, creamy sauce. soooo good!!)

the second night we arrived during happy hour and ordered 1/2 price steaks. i had the filet and chose broccoli and sharp cheddar as my side. d had the ribeye and the truffle mac and cheese. this was by far the tastiest meal i've had in ages. perfectly cooked melt in my mouth filet. but the star was the broccoli and cheddar. outstanding. even my carnivorous companion mentioned that as good as the steaks are, the broccoli was the star!!

love this place:)

also, wonderful speakeasy atmosphere and turn of the century drinks. beauty!

this is a must try the food is excellent and the cocktails are great. the feel of the place is wonderful. very very old vegas.

great atmosphere.herbs& rye is a great place to come for cocktails. they have a great selection of drinks and a long bar with an old vegas feel. the food was very expensive (slightly overpriced) but if you come in for the happy hour i think it's well worth the trip.

just leftherbsand rye a little bit ago and it was excellent the place is not what i expected at all from the out side it looks like a whole in the wall. but once inside it was a complete shock the walls had burgandy velvet wall paper with a deep wood color bar. we ate at the bar and were blown away by are barmans knowledge and politeness. he definitly made our experiance. he guided use threw the menu and pointed use in the right direction. we for the first time had a meal paired with cocktails and not wine and it was great to say the least we will be regulars toherbsand rye.

great time. we had a blast atherbsand rye. the food was great and the service was awsome. great drinks we tryed the alsation flat bread capicola flatbread and the pork tenderloins and the were all excellent.
