#1628 - Shifty's Cocktail Lounge, Las Vegas - 11/26/2011
If one should honor truth in advertising, Shifty's deserves some acclaim for the name. It's a classic neighborhood dive, a mile or two from the Las Vegas strip, and caters to bikers and Raiders fans. It was recently "Squiggy's," and at least used to host goth karaoke. If you want a break from the ersatz Vegas grandiosity and blaring glitz -- or if you just want a strongly poured drink for a low price -- I can't imagine Vegas has many better options than Shifty's.

#1627 - Herbs and Rye, Las Vegas - 11/26/2011
The space of a long-time favorite Italian restaurant, The Venetian, after a brief life as the "Slanted Clam" and others, has been reclaimed and remodeled into a classic, rat pack style Italian restaurant and pre-prohibition cocktail lounge. I did not have dinner there, but the cocktails are top notch.

#1626 - Frankie's Tiki Room, Las Vegas - 11/26/2011
Frankie's is an all-out tiki bar a short cab ride from the strip. Upon entering you are immediately greeted by pleasing darkness and a towering tiki by Crazy Al, above a faux fire that occasionally emits smoke. The decor is largely designed by Bamboo Ben, with works by leading tiki carvers like Bosko, LeRoy Schmaltz, Ken Pleasant and Tiki Ray. The drinks include tiki classics in custom-made mugs, and it is open 24 hours.
Frankie's is one of the best tiki bars in the country and should not be missed on any Vegas trip. The one shortcoming for many of us here a half century past the mid-century era it evokes is that it quite genuinely replicates the heavy cigarette smoking of the era.

#1623 - Vesper Bar, Las Vegas - 11/25/2011
Of all the shows in Vegas, my favorite is sitting in the Vesper Bar in the Cosmopolitan on a Friday or Saturday night, watching the parade of humanity roll past. As in most of the bars in the Cosmopolitan, you can also do so while having some well-made cocktails. Give the bartender a base spirit, let him concoct a special drink for you, and sit back and enjoy the show.

#1622 - The Chandelier Bar, Las Vegas - 11/25/2011
The Cosmopolitan has the best bar selection on the strip for cocktail lovers. Of these, the most elaborate is the Chandelier Bar -- three stories of bar within a massive, ornate chandelier.

#1613 #S966 - Harborside Bistro, Seattle - 11/23/2011
This is the old McCormick and Schmicks, sold to the Landry chain, and remodeled a bit. It is a tad swankier, and Thomas the bartender knows his stuff, but the spirits are still fairly limited for a moderately upscale restaurant and the cocktail menu has room for some more serious drinks.
