Atomic Liquor Store and Bar

A bar.  That's it.  And that is all it needs to be! The new (and local!) owners kept the best of this bar, and upgraded the rest.  Loads of atomic bomb references, an epic neon sign and old-school popcorn ceiling, lend to the great vibe here.  There's no gaming, and that's a good thing.  Not quite a dive bar, just a great bar!

Lots of craft beer on the 20 taps (with 10 more taps on the way), I had an Old Rasputin Imperial Stout.  Very tasty.  They also have an intriguing cocktail menu.  Great bartenders, too!  

The Atomic Liquor Store has liquor license number is 7 (the first six were casinos)' making it the oldest bar in Las Vegas.  For a kitschy, old-time Vegas experience, at a fun place, I go to the Atomic!

Atomic is the best bar in Vegas if the old Vegas is where your heart is.

Learned about this bar from a friend and what a unexpected gem.
Has an interesting history I checked it out when we got home.
Nice break from the Vegas rip off clubs, a great local type hang out. I ordered two vodka tonics and was shocked when the tab was 8 dollars, this was at 10:30 PMish. Staff was friendly and the customers a nice crowd.( I am mid fifties middle class)
They had a great food truck outside, I believe the name was Truknyaki, with great food at reasonable prices, we took in to have with our drinks.
