If you haven’t been yet, it’s time to discover Juliet Cocktail Room. Between the beautiful decor and inventive cocktail program, it’s a destination that never disappoints in experiencing the best the city has to offer. Since 2022, the welcoming and spacious lounge has served up fun nights with a diverse lineup of live entertainment and eye-catching, uniquely tasting cocktails.
“Guests will experience a cultivated nightlife environment with a touch of classic Las Vegas,” said Chris Zadie, vice president of food and beverage for 81/82 Group, owners of Juliet Cocktail Room. “We offer live entertainment with a very modern take on the Strip, from the cocktail presentation to the service offering and the overall nightlife experience. It’s refined but still energetic. You can come in for live music, stay for the atmosphere and transition into a more elevated nightlife setting as the evening unfolds.”
If you’ve been before, then a return visit is in order, as Juliet Cocktail Room recently added new cocktails to the menu. “The libations are as enchanting as they are tantalizing,” Zadie said.
A few of the new concoctions include the Chai’d and True with Hendry’s vodka, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, chai latte mix and cream. “(It) originally evolved from a matcha latte cocktail we had on the menu—we started noticing chai lattes coming back into popularity, so I wanted to create something that stayed ahead of the times: a chai latte cocktail that feels a little more fun and unexpected,” Zadie said. The Diamonds Are Forever, mixed with D’Ussé cognac, High West rye, Amaro Montenegro, sweet vermouth and orange bitters, “is a classic spin on a Vieux Carré,” Zadie said. And the Eve’s Apple is a lip-smacking shot of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Apple, cinnamon, fresh apple and caramel. “Jack Daniel’s released an apple whiskey that I thought was really interesting, so we leaned into that and created more of a caramel apple-style shot,” Zadie said. “It’s inspired by the idea of the poison apple, but with Eve’s Apple, it’s a little more seductive.”

Other new menu items include spirit-forward cocktail Fields of Norway with Norwegian aquavit; the Nice Pear, a unique blend of whiskey, fresh pear, maple syrup, a touch of bacon fat and egg white; and another shot-based delight, the Pepino Malo Shot with watermelon, tequila and Gran Malo, which gives it a tamarind-style taste.
Thirsty yet? Don’t these just sound like little adventures for your taste buds? Popular cocktails have remained on the menu since day one like the Oak & Orange, a Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon-based cocktail that incorporates various orange flavoring and is served similar to a mule-style cocktail. Juliet Cocktail Room also stocks unique spirits, too. “I wouldn’t necessarily say rare in terms of unusual categories, but we do carry rare vintages and allocated bottles, especially Scotches, whiskies and some unique tequilas,” Zadie said.
Just darn good cocktails, and a venue filled with high-end, yet comfy furnishings and decor, knowledgeable bartenders and various entertainment throughout the week—yup, you’ll want to start your discovery (or make your return visit) right now!
“You can come in for a great cocktail, listen to live music, participate in karaoke, or experience more of a nightlife venue, all in one space,” Zadie said. “We have a great open floor plan that accommodates large groups and conventions, and we’re in a prime location inside The Venetian Resort. It’s really the combination of all those elements that has allowed us to remain relevant and popular.”
