Bars Unknown: Vegas Strip Speakeasies, Dives & Gems
Overview
Hey everyone, I'm Jonathan & I enjoy the off-the-beaten-path bars & good deals! I developed this bar-crawl to counter the stereo-typical party-bus nightclub-crawl where you're herded on a bus with 50+ amateurs being served "free seltzers" and cheap vodka drinks. This is a walking experience to the lesser-known hidden gems, the ones most tourist miss if venturing alone. I've done bar-crawls around the world and most are 3 or 4 spots only, you wait to get in, wait to sit, wait long for overpriced mediocre drinks & they're not really special or hidden.
This is a mix of several bars. Some are cheap, some have happy hours, some are divey or hidden spots that most people walk right by. Drinks not included which means you can budget what you wanna spend & decide what you want to drink rather than being forced a specific menu and price.
All the bars are walking distance. Some are to-go spots, some we can sit & relax. The goal is to have fun & introduce you to something unknown!
