Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Downtown

We came down from Chicago to celebrate my husband’s birthday. This was on our things to do list and we had such an amazing time. Food was really good and the atmosphere was everything!!!!

Great local eatery, just outside the bustle of Fremont Street. We ate late (9:45pm) so it was uncrowded and delightfully quiet! Sat at the chef's bar to watch the action- the counter doesn't quite have enough overhang for knee-room, but we managed to avoid losing any food on our laps. Too the server's suggestions: deviled eggs, black rice oxtail risotto, and NY strip to share between two of us. Everything was delicious, but we were too stuffed to try the desserts. Great cocktails we enjoyed as well: the Leisure Suit Larry, a butterscotchy elixer; and the Swipe Right, a fruity mule drink. Highly recommend!

Our server was terrific. It was our first time there and she made great recommendations. We had the Detroit Motorhead pizza. It was one of the best pizzas we have ever had. 8 pieces was perfect for 3 people. The thick crust was actually very light. Also had the apple and gorgonzola salad. Split it between the two of us. It was outstanding. I highly recommend Pizza Rock to anyone in the Fremont area and it would also be worth the trip from the strip.

Food was amazing! Caesar salad, porterhouse and shrimp (appetizer) were all delicious!! Excellent service! 4th time there and they have yet to disappoint- looking forward to our next visit! 😉

Got possessed by a craving for the octopus dish I had seen another order on my last visit, so booked dinner. Sat at the bar per usual and tried all new menu items to me. Drink- •How 'bout Them Apples ($17): Fresh-from-the tree sour apple, sharp and earthy. Wonderfully evocative creation from Guillermo (Tito). •Kaiju Amiga ($15): Very balanced between nutty sweetness and tang. •Clearly ($16): Like being on a breezy Caribbean beach, sunny, salty, citrusy. •Desparada "Saturn Return" 2022 Red Blend ($20): Very good pour. Food- Foie Gras ($25): Several-forkfuls portion of the rich fatty organ, accompanied by a thin eggroll spear. Very nutty, sweet, and crisp. Spanish Octopus ($24): About 10 octopus chunks, nicely charred outside the tender meat. Plentiful firm risotto grains, al dente and mildly salty (squid ink). Listed with a fire symbol on the menu; accurate. Chili quite prominent, asked for some bread ($2) to absorb and deaden some of the heat. Spiced and spicy. Value: Most excellent for the alcohol. Undecided about the food; liked what I had, still feeling the heat. Atmosphere: Surprisingly quiet at first, but noise level rose to its usual loud magnitude as the customers poured in. Service: Exceptional and attentive!
