The grandeur of L.V. is evident in everything from the neon lights on the show girls that casually walk past your roulette table at the casino but to step foot inside a 3 story chandelier with a bar on each level at its core.. well that is something that will resonate in my mind more than the latter.
The plans on this trip were kept mostly secret to me but The Chandelier was one of the locations that leaked out as the dates neared our departure. I. Was. Stoked.
Walking into the Cosmo you could tell we were in for a unique experience. I felt a bit like a child walking into Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory. I could feel my eyes widen as the massive spectacle appeared as we approached. To put simply: that m.f. is HUGE!
We walked to the top and took our seat on the plush leather couch. A cute blonde waitress took our drink orders and we sat gazing around at the crystals as the light cast rainbow beams that danced around the bar. My manhattan was stiff and delivered with a smile.
We took our drinks down to the first level where there was a band with a gorgeous brunette filling the room with her soulful voice. We sat in a booth and enjoyed the company of another group of tourists while the singing siren covered a few more songs.
A must for a romantic unforgettable tourist stop.
Not much to say that hasn't been said before, this bar set inside of a gigantic chandelier is gorgeous with unique drinks that vary by floor. We visited it several times on our recent trip to Vegas.
There is a "secret" drink ONLY available on Level 1.5 of the bar called the Lemon Verbena. It's not on the menu. We had to order it after reading countless reviews on it. Basically you chew a small flower to stimulate your taste buds, but the flavor of it just explodes all over your mouth. I tried to sip the cocktail after eating the flower and couldn't get past the flower taste, it was so strong. Still, this is my personal preference and several others really enjoy it. All other drinks I tried at The Chandelier were amazing and I would not hesitate to go back if given the chance!
Yes it is "gimmicky".. isn't that what Vegas is all about? Â It is really beautiful, and a fun place to see and visit. Â We perused all 3 levels, settled in at the top (it was 2 in the afternoon, so "ambience" did not matter so much to us at this point). Â Temps outside at 117 deg. F., so we were hot and thirsty.
Todd was our bartender, and did an excellent job of attending to our needs. Â My hubs ordered a Mojito, which he declared to be the "best I've ever had". Â
I actually only drank Seven-Up.. was too hung over and hot for anything else. Â But loved visiting here, really spectacular.
Love, Love, LOVE The Chandelier!!!
Superb ambiance, décor, and drinks.  The epitome of over-the-top Vegas. Â
Every level has a different drink menu. Â Specialty cocktails are atypical but carefully crafted, so don't be afraid to try something new! Â Can be quite load when busy so bring a megaphone or ear-buds...depending on your communication preference.
I actually booked my trip, partially, around making sure I could enjoy level 1.5, which had been closed during my last weekday trip. I always found these cocktails most intriguing, one in particular called Sandia?? which had a watermelon base and coconut ginger foam. I was greatly saddened to see the cocktail gone. Seriously... pathetic but I was genuinely saddened.
Anyhow, I show up to 1.5 on a Friday night. Anticipating a crowd later, I pulled a bartender to the side and introduced myself. I handed Matt the Mohawk a $20 and said I'll be around, please remember me, before I even ordered a drink, hoping to ensure some service. FAIL. He didn't know the Sandia & suggested it was at another bar (another bar tender piped in & said no, it was a cocktail from an old menu)--anyway, an indication he doesn't know his product well... or that he just likes to BS customers. I enjoyed the Dragonfire (its really too sweet and the nitrogen raspberries are fun, but don't have an enjoyable taste). I ordered another drink with a Thai influence, and again it was sweet to the point of being off-putting. Now... I'm not just gonna spend $14 plus tip on a cocktail and not drink it. I mentioned to him it was too sweet and asked if he could do something to tone it down. "Well, it's a sweet drink," the Mohawk responded.... no kidding.
There was another gentleman there with a darker complexion and a great smile--look for him & stay away from Matt the Mohawk! I guess he thinks he deserves $20 for letting the ladies look at that beautiful, super-creative haircut, because I had to chase him down for every overly sweet drink I ordered.
I was prepared in all of my Vegas pessimism to hate it here. For all of the beautiful venues The Cosmopolitan offered, The Chandelier being a bar inside of a chandelier, sounded gimmicky, tacky, and stupidly touristy. In spite of all of those things, I've had nothing but a great time for every time I've been here.
There is probably nothing in the Cosmo that gives off a more pretentious vibe than the nightlife options in the resort than sipping overpriced drinks while surveying the scene. Isn't that what a lot of folks end up doing any way regardless of the venue? Might as well do it inside of a chandelier, you never know who is hiding behind those crystals. Plus, the light emanating from the various beads is a kind of a cool effect while sipping on cocktails.
Speaking of cocktails, while understandably pricey, they're made with all the TLC any bar could ask for. From general mixes like an Old Fashioned or Goose Martini, try a new spin in their New Fashioned and Marsh Tini (with toasted marshmellows). A sazerac and hot mule are highly recommended, as is the lychee martini and my personal Vegas classic, the purple hooter. In between sips, some quiet conversation would be a nice touch.
On the service front, be good to the waitress / cocktail server and they'll be good to you. This means not complicating your order with specific recipes, taking recommendations, and being flexible as many of the drinks are pretty atypical. If the bartender suddenly decides to be friends with you, now you've really done it.
The Chandelier isn't an end all option for the evening, but a great place to start. It's also just a place to casually hang and enjoy adult beverages and taking in the grandeur of quite possibly the Strip's most gorgeous casino.
Stopping here at the elegant, classy bar was probably the highlight of my trip to Vegas. Â I'm a big beer drinker, but after sampling cocktails done right, you've got my attention. Â Those cocktails were simply works of liquid art, they were sexy and seductive and lethal. Â I would have never thought I would have been happy to pay 12-15 for a drink, wrong. Â For the beauty, the professional craft and service displayed by the staff, the swank settings, the complimentary music of Slim Jenkins on a Saturday night, it made me realize what is special and unique about Vegas. Â We stopped here for the first time after having a few slices at Secret Pizza at the second bar. Â My lady had a few Cosmos and I had a Bluegrass Shuffle. Â Came back later that night at the first floor, bellied up to the lounge and I had a Manhattan made with Bulleit Bourbon and it was trouble, trouble, trouble. Â I liked the fact that they used blueberries in their Manhattan. Â Confession, met a father and son sitting next to us at the bar, his son was home from Afghanistan, and we were chatting, long story short, I gave my alcohol infused blueberry to the son, and his dad intercepted it! Â Met some friends there for some music and just relaxed and lounged for a bit. Â Very cool experience, special moment for me and my girl.
Review Source:Definitely will come back here many many times as long as I keep going to Vegas and don't feel old.
Main problem with this place is it can get crowded and hard to find seating. Â Especially if you want a specific floor. Â Keep in mind that each floor has different drink menu.
I had snuck down to the 2nd floor just to get a fire breathing dragon, which was really good. Â
There were a few other drinks I had gotten that were pretty good, although a bit weak on the alcohol. Â But delicious nonetheless and the atmosphere is pretty unique. Â
Only con of this place is that it does get crowded and service is slow.

    Second floor by the Marquee Day & Night Club of the Cosmopolitan Hotel; Loving this chaderliers bar because of all the gorgeous Swarovski crystal chandeliers through out this bright glittering bar; it makes me smile.
    Great cocktails, cool ambiance, efficient service, a good date spot for a few quick hand-crafted cocktails.
Gonna make this one short and sweet.
- Live Music!
- Great Drinks!
- Awesome Wait Staff
- Great Drinks (great pours!)
- Great atmosphere
- Smoking levels for those who care to partake
- Lots of seating
- Great design
Simple. Right. Hey it's not anything you've probably seen before, so drink up!
This is listed as one of the top ten bars in Las Vegas. It's in the Cosmopolitan Hotel which is fabulous!! This bar is multi levels, so depending on what mood you're in...
 Great for people watching, and on certain nights they have a live band play. We caught "Slim Jenkins" last Friday and they were AWESOME!!
This bar is absolutely beautiful! I've never been to a more gorgeous bar environment! The drinks were very unique. I had the "Campfire Delight" martini that had real toasted marshmallows on top! That was cool! Besides the beautiful atmosphere and drinks, the bar doesn't have much going on and staring at the Chandelier (although gorgeous) got a bit boring. But we still had a great time!
Review Source:Having drinks inside a giant chandelier feels quite elegant. Â That's the thrill of this place. Â The drinks were decent and the people-watching is great. Â There was a live band at the time we were there. Â They were playing music that reminded me of an episode of Boardwalk Empire. Â That's not my genre of music, so I wasn't impressed even though the main singer did have a great voice. Â It's a great spot to spot on your way to the club or just lounge around in for a while with friends if you don't feel like clubbing.
Review Source:WOW, I wish I can give this place ZERO stars!
I've read about the "amazing" drinks they serve here so I had to give it a try when I was in Vegas this past weekend.
Since each "floor" has a different drink menu I just randomly decided to try out the top floor bar. Â
The bar was busy but not packed, the crowd is a bit on the higher end but there were some "partying bros" mixed in.
I walk up to the bar and patiently wait while the bartender fixes her current drink. Â She sees me but doesn't acknowledge the fact that i'm there waiting. Â She takes her sweet time and eventually i'm able to ask her for the menu.
Kaffir the Reaper catches my eye and my wife decides on the Misty Rose. Â I then patiently wait for the waitress to finish up with some other customers while watching her basically scream " I WISH I WASN'T HERE RIGHT NOW" the whole time. Â
She eventually takes my order and makes my drinks (and i'm pretty sure she only mixed in 3 of the 5 ingredients listed in my drink from the menu).
The total was 28 bucks and I give her 30 dollars....at this point i'm thinking i'll just tip her 2 dollars... BUT, unfortunately i've been brainwashed to tip better than that, especially at a higher end joint like this. Â So I give her a 5 dollar tip and there was no acknowledgement, no thank you, Â no NOTHING. Â This bartender probably has the best damn job in the world... a job where you can be super slow, super rude, super bitchy AND get tipped 5 bucks for basically 1 minute worth of work.
I don't expect to be best pals with the bartender but a simple "how are you doing" followed by an occasional "please" and "thank you" doesn't seem like too much to ask.
I can understand this level of service if I was at a frat bar chugging Long Islands or at a super busy club with customers backed up into the dance floor, but for this type of establishment I feel the service was completely unacceptable. Â
Seriously, fire this person before you lose all your customers.
The Chandelier is at the Cosmopolitan.
"Ooooh." Â
"Aaaah."
"It's so prettty."
Shout out to the person or person(s) who thought of this concept. It's literally a gigantic chandelier in the middle of the hotel consisting of 3 floors and a bar on each floor with seating areas. Â It sounds odd but the entire thing is spectacular. Its visually stunning and a great use of space. Â Hence the above phrases that came to mind when I first saw the Chandelier.
I finally had the chance to check out the Chandelier, but I came here right after the gut busting, meat heavy dinner at Delmonico Steakhouse. I felt like a busted can of biscuits :( Â
The Chandelier was pretty packed and we didn't have the patience or room to scope out each floor for preferred seating. We headed to the 3rd floor and found open seats right by the entrance. However, the 3rd floor also happened to be the same floor in which throngs of people were waiting around to get into Marquee. Needless to say it was very busy and very noisy.
I ordered one cocktail, my boyfriend ordered a beer. Our server was pretty but seemed indifferent. We were drinking and chatting for about an hour before being told that the 3rd floor bar was closing which was a bit odd seeing as how it wasn't that late at all.
I'd come back during the day when its less crowded to check out each floor and have my pick of seating.
My favorite bar in Vegas, without a doubt. Besides the curtains of crystals surrounding you, this is my favorite bar because it has the best margarita in Las Vegas. It's made just how I make margaritas at home: fresh lime juice, agave nectar and quality tequila. It's everything a margarita should be, simple, refreshing and delicious, and with good reason. A bar tender told me the woman in charge of buying alcohol for Cosmopolitan's bars is a tequila goddess. I'm not really sure what this means, but apparently, she has spent some time in Jalisco, Mexico and knows her tequila. If you're out there, Tequila Goddess, I salute you!
Review Source:The concept of putting a bar inside an enormous chandelier is something that only Vegas could pull off. Â And to be fair, they did a great job of it. Â It's a 3-story bar that gives you exactly what you'd expect: Â really good, overpriced drinks served by absurdly hot bartenders and waitresses. Â I've been here a few times simply because people I've been with had to have a cosmopolitan in the chandelier bar in the Cosmopolitan. Â ($13 each, btw) Â They seemed happy with them. Â I've enjoyed a couple of their wine offerings in the past, and I'm sure the next time I'm with some Vegas noob who just has to have a cosmo there, I'll try another.
This place is also awesome for people watching, because let's face it, chicks dress to impress here. Â
The only knock on the place is that some of the couches are starting to look a little worn, which detracts from the whole atmosphere of the place.
The Chandelier is a bar, just like every other bar in Vegas, except that it happens to be perched inside a massive crystal chandelier... which makes it unlike every other bar in Vegas. Â We stumbled upon this by accident while walking down street past Cosmopolitan when I noticed the wall-to-wall glitter coming from inside. Â Every inch of this place is over-the-top, dripping with sparkling crystals (god help whoever's responsible for cleaning).
The Chandelier gives off a vibe of a place to see and be seen. Â We wandered into its upper level and found a seat at the bar. Â Moments later we look over to see Hayden Panettiere, her world heavyweight champion boxer boyfriend, Wladaimire Kiltschko, and a small posse of friends lounging behind us ordering a round of tequila shots. Â (We found this particularly amusing given that the bartender didn't have a clue who she (or he) was and carded them all... we had to let him in on the celebrity status of the newest arrivals). Â
The drinks were good, the bartender was fun to chat with, and the atmosphere was... well... glittery. Â Get glammed up, go for a drink and a possible celebrity sighting. Â (See what happens when you just randomly follow your curiosity!!)
I love this place. Â I love the 1940s style swing band that plays on the weekends, I love the cozy chairs, I love the giant chandelier and all the fancy decor, and I love that there is no cover. Â The drinks are pricey, but that's most places in Vegas, especially the Cosmo. Â Stop in for a drink or two.
Review Source:My first stop whenever I fly into sin city. Â Ask for Jason on the second level and tell him to make whatever he feels like making. Â He'll ask you what kind of liquor you like, vodka, bourbon..., then concoct something amazing!
Great spot to get primed before going out or just to browse the talent trying to get into Marquee.
Great place to grab a fancy cocktail. I forget exactly what was in my drink, but it was quite the combination and I really enjoyed it. My friends really enjoyed their drinks, too. Fun place to lounge in the middle of The Cosmopolitan for a pre-dinner cocktail. The service was super slow, but it wasn't the biggest deal. We were lucky enough to witness some live entertainment while we were sitting there, which I assume they do pretty often.
Review Source:Totally awesome view of the world's largest chandelier. Just like Angela H. i do agree that this usually isnt the type of i frequent or even attempt to frequent very often living in the desert.
So lets talk about the drinks.
Baked Alaska
Very well balanced drink with lots of pineapple goodness if you're into that sort of thing which i am.
Cereal Killer
Adults may not see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch but when you add Bulleit bourbon into the equation...well kids will suddenly notice that their beloved cereal has gone missing along with their parents, the milk, and the bottle of Bulleit bourbon. Highly recommended everyone try this at least once. Damn shame they dont serve it in bowls.
New Fashion
I'm a huge fan of bourbon and the Old Fashion so seeing a new spin on the classic drink. How'd this new fashion compare? DO NOT WANT. Damn drink literally hurt going down.
So...what am i trying to say with this review...the drinks are good and the vibe of the place is classy but expect to pay a pretty penny.
Yelp 100 - 030 of 100
If, like me, you'd begun to think Vegas was an endless, lowest-common-denominator sea of kitschy tourist traps, then the Chandelier might change your mind.
This place totally lives up to the hype. Each floor has its own bar with its own cocktail menu, so I stopped by level 1.5. The bartenders were super sweet and professional, and read my mind perfectly in suggesting the Cereal Killer and the Fit to be Thai'd - both sugary, creamy concoctions that had all my taste buds singing. Given the variety and creativity of the cocktails here, I actually thought the pricing was quite reasonable.
There's lots of seating everywhere, whether at each bar, or at the large, yet intimate, plush sofas on all sides of the bars on each floor. While you can peer through the crystal chandelier into the bar from the outside as you walk past, it actually feels rather private on the inside as you don't really notice all the gawkers.
Along with the rest of the Cosmopolitan and this new stretch of the Strip, the Chandelier brings a much-needed upscale upgrade to Vegas.
Like so many other places I've been to in Vegas, Bars or otherwise, the drinks being served are quite over priced and just not that great - I like that they're trying to be experimental, and having a bunch of cocktails, but the ones we tried were quite mediocre, I would even say that they weren't good. Â But I also haven't thought of Red Bull/ANYTHING as a cocktail in about 8 years (damn... I'm aging myself...)
The idea of being INSIDE a chandelier is cool, if you're into that sort of thing. Â I am not. Â I would rather have good drinks then fake crystal dangling around me. Â But, judging from everyone reviews, I am in the minority.
If I lived in Vegas and wanted a girls night out, this is the bar I would start or finish the night. It's absolutely gorgeous! It boasts 3 levels of hanging crystals (somewhere in the 2 million range) that act as drapery and create this feeling of posh class yet still have the ability to be casual. You can walk into any of the floor in any attire, find your spot in one of many nicely sized alcoves with plush seats, couches, and foot stools to sit back and relax in sparkly delight. No reservation, no security, just simple accessibility to some of the most unique drinks I have ever seen. The prices are in the lower and mid teens but they don't skimp on your liquor or water it down.
If you come here, and you should at least once while in Vegas, you MUST have the Buzz Button. Â It's this citrusy type cocktail that has a tiny flower on top of the ice that definitely makes your experience unique! Your waitress will explain what to do, but simply, take a few sips, then chew on that flower until it coats your mouth, feel that tingly sensation, then sip again. The flavor profile changes, the actual feeling on your tongue I hard to explain, something like pop rocks but not. I swear it was the coolest drink I have ever had and I do enjoy drinks. ;)
Best Bar in Vegas!
That's not just an opinion, either! That's a fact! Just ask my buddy David G. He'll tell you what's up!
Located in the beautiful Cosmo Hotel, The Chandelier is a three story bar that's totally enclosed  with millions of shiny crystals, making it seem like you're actually hanging out  in the middle of a huge chandelier. Each level offers different specialty cocktails, which is awesome. The first floor features a small stage where a live band plays (you can hear the band throughout all three levels). Each level has plenty of seating, whether it's on a couch, chair, love seat or a bar stool.
If you're like me, you like to go to bars to sit back, relax, sip on delicious cocktails, have a nice conversation with the person/group you are with and to also people watch. The middle section of The Chandelier is perfect for the things I just mentioned. If you're more into being seen, trying to hook up or stand around and move from group to group than the first and third floors will be more of your scene.
I came here three times on my most recent trip to Vegas. I tried a quite a few of their specialty cocktails, all of which were some of the best I've ever had. My favorite drink of the weekend had to be their Fit to be Thai'd, which reminded me of a super strong white Russian with a hint of peanut butter. Yup, I said peanut butter. They actually put a decent sized scoop of PB in this cocktail while they were mixing/shaking it up (I watched them do it). I also really enjoyed their Cereal Killer, which tasted like spiked cinnamon toast crunch cereal milk. I also had and tasted other drinks but their names and what they were made with escape me at the moment.
All the bartenders (mixologists) and servers I encountered were all super friendly. The prices here are like any other bar in Vegas ($10-$13 per drink) Â but the drinks and the atmosphere are 100% better than any of those other bars.
My favorite thing about The Chandelier is there are no cover charges, no bouncers, no D bags (at least that I saw in all my visits) and there is massive amounts of available seating, even on the weekends.
The Chandelier is now my go to bar in Vegas.
Look at you California visitors in love with this bar. Haha
But who couldn't love this place?! Do try all the drinks on their menu, BUT do not get beer or your usual vodka tonic.
The bartenders are pretty knowledgeable of the drinks. I usually order drinks that no one has made since bartending school such as a Sazerac, Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.
It does get pricey but in a good way. You're better off getting your drinks at a bar and taking them to the couches. The servers are kinda slow... and half naked.
DO: Dress classy
DON'T: hang on the beads/crystals, it won't support any weight.
One of the best experiences I have ever had at a bar. The drinks are a little bit expensive (up to around $9 - $14 for a cocktail), but **** it! It's Vegas! Plus the ambiance and quality of the drinks more than makes up for it.
I'm not afraid to say the glam was appealing to me, but to the fellows -- this place is a goldmine to bring your girlfriend/love interest. And for the single fellows - this might be a good spot for you, too.
Our bartender Lindsay not only hooked my girlfriend and I up with a free drink, but provided us with extra flowers.
Eat the flowers. They are from South Africa and they are drugs for your taste buds. Everything tingles and your sense of taste is enhanced.
She also came through in the clutch when my little brother accidentally tried a sip of the peanut butter flavored cocktail (he's allergic to nuts and took a sip before we could warn him). She had benadryl packs out in seconds.
Thank you so much Lindsay! You're the best bartender we've ever had.

A lovely spot to have a very expensive drink, inside of Cosmo. Not gonna say it's something I'd go out of my way for, but not something to avoid. Minus the drink prices. Ya, that's something to avoid.
I totally dig how this is made of Swarovski Crystals, and I'm told it's the largest chandelier in the world?
Anyways, when outta-towners are here, this place tends to impress, so it's definitely good for that part of a night out.
A GO, but not a "go out of your way" kind of place, at least for locals.
Don't even hesitate to get the whiskey drink with the orange and blueberry purée and the egg white. It's good for you like the raw food diet because it has a raw egg white in it.
For $14 it is a pretty penny, but when somebody else is paying (as was my case when I went) it's pittance to pay!
I have been to the Chandelier other times as well, and just had regular mixed drinks. The bang for your buck definitely lies in the specialty cocktails as (if I recall) a vodka tonic was $12. Mmmmmboring when you could have a fancy schmancy drink for $14.
I am always taking my out of town friends to the Cosmo specifically to come here!  For one reason only and that is to try the coolest drink  I have ever had!  I can not remember the name of it, I always ask, but never remember! Â
The drink is a sugary cocktail that comes with a flower! Â BUT, you eat the flower before you start drinking and your mouth gets all tingly! Â So fun!!!!! Â Although the drink is a little sweet and I can never finish it, I love ordering it! Â The bar is three stories and is always packed so expect to walk around a few times and hope that someone leaves soon so you can have a place to sit.
