3535 Bar

This place is inside The Linq casino. I’m a peanut butter fan, so I was compelled to try their Chai Peanut Butter drink. Greatness. Thin Mint was ok.
The service was nonexistent.
3 Stars but had 2-​for-​1 deal (Marathon runner perk), so I’ll give it 4 stars. Otherwise, 3.0 stars for ambience, service and price.

While staying at the Linq, this was my go to bar. It’s located right in the middle of the hotel so, a good spot to people watch lol. The happy hour menu is pretty decent. There were more selections than I expected. The red blend house wine wasn’t too bad :) I had a good pour for $ 6. A top shelf cocktail will run you about $ 10. For the most part, service was okay however, there was one bartender that was really annoying. I hate interacting with arrogant people. Humble yourself young man!

Went for Happy hour a couple of times. Jessica made the Mule drink so good… went back and someone else made it but then she came into work and made the 2^nd drink. She is a great bartender. I like the atmosphere of this bar and casino. Slot were good here.

Very elaborate and delicious cocktails. Friendly service, but can be a little slow especially if not sitting at the bar.

We have been sitting here for ten mins and no one even comes to say hi to us. It’s 7:30 at night and just 6 people sitting there. The guy bartender seems desperately to pick up a female customer. Wow what a personal service. So Disappointed!

3535 was the highlight of my latest Vegas trip. The staff are friendly and talented, the vortex-​y, raised bar space is sleek, and the cocktails are amazing. This became our nightly drinking spot, and when the others went off to gamble or watch acrobats fly through the air, I stayed here to play video poker and drink more. Even when I got a bit tipsy, the staff accommodated my chatter like pros, and kindly introduced me to their preferred cocktails. I could have tried everything on the menu, but here’s how far I got:
Chai Peanut Butter Cup — Let me state clearly, I do not do «syrup cocktails,» those goopy, food-​colored concoctions of many regretful mornings after, but as sweet cocktails go, this one is absolutely perfect. It really tastes like a peanut butter cup, the chai tea brings it down to earth, and its sweetness is earned. It was everyone’s favorite and the guilty pleasure we returned to night after night.
Blackberry Bite — Black-​pepper and blackberry-​infused Knob Creek with lemon, sage, and ginger beer, holy cow this was a wonderful drink. It was my last one on my last night and if I’d had it sooner, I’d probably still be in Vegas right now on the floor of 3535.
Agave Dreams — This barrel-​infused cocktail was the favorite of two different bartenders, and when I finally tried it, I could see why. The Patron, agave, and hint of cinnamon and brown sugar go down like a fancy hooker.
Espresso Bourbon — Maker’s + espresso beans, simple but rich and robust.
JFK — Blue cheese and olive-​infused gin martini, the crisp gin washes down the savory cheese very well.
Pig Newton — Bacon-​infused Jim Bean and fig-​infused Jack Honey, smooth but less memorable than the other drinks.
There’s a solid Happy Hour from 3−6pm, and the drinks go from $ 13 to $ 2 while actively gambling, so why not put the cocktail cash into a chance to win big? (I didn’t win big.) I don’t think I can ever go back to playing in the corners of casinos while waiting for my tiny well cocktails.

A great bar with fantastic cocktails, fun bartenders, great location & fun people watching. It’s a must stop for us when we’re in town. Charging stations at the bar also a plus. You can’t go wrong here.

My wife and I first heard of 3535 Bar inside Vegas Player magazine, which I browsed through one morning inside my hotel room. There was a large picture of a Bloody Mary concoction with a piece of bacon protruding high above the glass rim. I started salivating over the photo and told my wife, «we have to go here!» We found the bar right next to the concierge desks. It was about 9 am and the bar tender was prepping for open. Chris, was his name, was kind enough to explain the bars concept on infusion drinks: using pantry favorites to evolve and expand the modern cocktail varietals. We decided to return for our first tasting during happy hour, 3−6pm. Chris remembered us and took our orders: the BBQ Bloody Mary (no bacon to be found… kinda bummed) and my wife’s Wat-​A-​Pear. He made the drinks well and was informative about the flavors in each. He even offered us small samplers of the infusions the bar was known for. I tried the cookie dough infused Grand Marnier cherry liqueur. Not my favorite but it was nice to try before buying. Winding down we tried our last drink which Chris had informed us was just being introduced. It was a peach infused Jim Bean Bourbon with a light orange zest and orange peel for garnish. My wife fancies vodka and she loved this more than her Wat-​A-​Pear drink (vodka based). Never thought I would see the day my wife drank bourbon. Hats off to you Chris, we will be back for more!

This is the lobby bar inside the LINQ Hotel (which will always be referred to by me as the Imperial Palace). It’s a circular bar with typical bar/​lounge low chairs and tables around it. If there was a cocktail waitress assisting the folks not sitting at the bar I never saw her. The bartenders are friendly, albeit not particularly attentive or speedy. There are several fancy cocktails, as well as bottled beers and wines by the glass to choose from. All over-​priced, of course. While the draft beers are just the crap stuff, the bottled list was pleasant and better than most casino bars. The bar is designed to be hip and modern. It’s far from a lobby bar I would deliberately visit. But when walking about the LINQ Hotel (a.k.a. Imperial Palace), it’s a pleasant discovery.

This bar is so great. I feel that it isn’t given its credit since there is not enough signage and that the wonderful infused spirits are not highlighted. Such a waste that this great bar is shadowed by its location. It should defiantly be highlighted. Such a gem on the strip. Miriam was awesome. She was awesome. Very friendly and helpful in opening our eyes to the many bar options. Thank you.

A shockingly good cocktail bar. Very experienced bartenders and a very innovative cocktail menu. Their barrel-​aged bourbon drinks are not to be missed. I can’t believe a place this good exists in The Linq.

This isn’t so much a bar, but a great pit stop before heading to your next location.
Located in the Linq hotel, 3535 is a solid place to drink and people watch at the same time. Beer, wine, cocktails this bar has all the bases covered, but without the normal casino prices.
There are also about six private booth areas for you and your party to hang and sip before heading into the craziness that is the strip. These private booths not only offer privacy, but also power outlets and recharge stations for your cell phone, so there’s never a missed selfie moment. Great place to also get some work done if you have some Strip located meetings, great Wi-​Fi here.
Headed to the Linq? Stop here first and get your buzz going.

I stayed at the LINQ and this Bar is in the Casino portion. It was simple and sleek… bartenders were good. Its like one of those spots where you stop to just rest and grab a drink with some good music. It lacked something cant put my finger on it but I think there was too much open space

A great place to watch a game or relax with delicious infused drinks. They have an excellent selection of unique cocktails and shots that are reasonable for Vegas prices. The staff was friendly and accomodating and even allowed us to sit in the bottle service booths and watch the football game free of charge. Definitely give this place a try.

I was waiting to see what this space would become. 3535 is a great, friendly REAL cocktail bar specializing in booze infusions. Most are great. Some are fantastic. Not cheap, but what is anymore. Fun bartenders.

They just opened 2 weeks ago, it’s a bar and lounge in the center of The Linq hotel and casino, very open and modern, we had a few drinks there before High Roller ride. Since I intended to get very buzzed before getting on the ride, I ordered a few strong cocktails and shots, and they worked!
The drink menu is very extensive, they have many crafted cocktails and infusion shots, the eye candy bartender Amanda made us a few ones she invented by herself, we just told her what we preferred, what liquor, what flavor, she did a great job accommodating our requests. I liked the vodka ones with spicy flavor so much.
I loved it they put diamond shaped ice in cocktails, it was nice! The bartenders were extremely friendly, they were so much fun to hang with! Drinks were very strong, but inexpensive, I got really buzzed getting on the High Roller ride, so I got to enjoy the ride without the fear of heights this time!
This was a great bar to hang at The Linq, we had a lot of fun there!
