herbs & rye

herbs andryeis surely a delight for great italian food in the town, the downside is they do not have much vegetarian food options. i had the bruschetta and another dish. i had to ask the server to make the dish without any meat. the server was kind enough to help me with my requirements. the service is great and the presentation and taste of the food is totally the worth of the money charged.

herbs &ryeis 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. additionally herbs & 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!

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 lounge herbs &ryehad 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 &ryealso 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 !

herbs andryecocktailthe cocktails they serve are all authentic classics – creative variations are not encouraged, in fact i could tell i made the bartender rather uncomfortable when i asked about them, and that’s a good thing! the bar is teaming with liquors, cordials, bitters (many house-made), glassware (they even have copper mugs for a proper moscow mule) and garnishes. they use premium ingredients and take care to build your cocktail the way it might have been done fifty years, or one hundred and fifty years ago. the drinks are strong and flavorful, and the bartenders are knowledgeable enough to help you discover your new favorite old drink. if you already have a favorite, they can probably make it – correctly.

this place was excellent just what we needed. we had just had a few cocktails at dcr and came down to herbs andryeto eat at it was great ,service was excellent , and the cocktail were impecable. the best in the city with out any question. this place is a must try!!!!

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 &ryeis 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 left herbs andryea 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 to herbs and rye.
