Enjoyed this historic place that was in a rough part of town but didn't feel afraid at any time. Dean, the bartender, made an amazing standout Negroni. The interior was dark and they played a variety of music from the late 70's onward. Exterior patio was very nice. Fair prices.

We came here to drink at the oldest establishment in Las Vegas and glad we did! A great little pub with reasonable prices, we soaked in the history and had a great conversation with our bartender, Dean. Drinks were good and all was well. I look forward to returning someday!

I was looking for something different to see/do in downtown Vegas. We loved this historical bar. Two of us scouted it out around noon when Dean was working. Dean was personable and informative. We wanted to return when he was working. However, our timing was off with him. (It’s open for lunch, so the hours that were posted on line were wrong) . It was very dark inside, an atomic bomb floor lamp in the corner, lots of articles to read about it being the oldest free standing bar in Vegas. “ Pouring license “ liquor license was No. 1. Streisand, Eastwood, Rat Pack, etc used to hang out there after their shows. There’s even a chair with a star noting Streisand spot! There’s a hole in the floor where the safe used to be with whiskey and a gun under glass. Dean had told us the pizza was awesome, so we ordered that to eat. It was Detroit style and tasted great. We had to order an Atomic drink….so we chose the Atomic Horizon which we really enjoyed. Our server was good, maybe cussing a bit more than we expected. Obviously just her nature. She recommended the burgers. So, next year, we might try the burgers. I’d highly recommend going there, taking it all in and ordering a drink , looking at the outside view visualizing the bombs going off out in the desert. It’s pretty cool.

Las Vegas bucket list for 10 years and did not disappoint. Met the owner and his staff, and they were friendly, courteous, and gracious. Drinks were well poured. You won't find this on the strip, so take time and Uber over if you want more than the same ole same ole. Worth it.

A couple of blocks south of the casinos in downtown Vegas, this bar caters to the local crowd. Patrons used to watch atomic test explosions in the desert from the roof - that’s how it gets its name. Inside, it’s dark and cool with great bar tenders and a fun crowd. They were getting ready to shoot a movie scene while we there - the bar is already featured on Casino and Hangover. A refreshing dose of real during a trip to Vegas downtown!

Atomic Liquors is a historic bar located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. According to what I’ve heard patrons could enjoy drinks and watch atomic bomb tests from the nearby Nevada Test Site. This unique experience of watching the mushroom clouds rise in the distance gave the bar its name, "Atomic Liquors." Atomic Liquors holds the oldest tavern license in Las Vegas. I grabbed a local beer (Atomic Duck from Able Baker) before heading to Binions Steakhouse on Freemont Street. Simple decent experience for a quick afternoon beer.

We were told about Atomic Liquors by a friend and felt we needed to visit to say that we were there. The history of the location makes it worth the stop. We had one drink and appreciated the outdoor seating area. The inside is dark and themed to align with the history. Definitely worth a quick stop!
