I took my boyfriend here who is a beer lover. After reading reviews I know it was a must. Josh, our beer tender, was fantastic. He took us to the back cooler to pick out or beers all three times. He was very knowledgable and also added a personal touch of what he likes. I loved all his suggestions! We felt right at home watching the hockey game and relaxing. I would have given a 5th star but as soon as Josh left another beer tender took over and service was horrible. We were 2 out of four people in the bar and trust all 4 of us felt the same way. Sad after such. Great day. Good thing we closed out and tipped Josh. Great beer selection! Definitely recommend to go in the early afternoon for Josh.
Review Source:The last time I was in town, I dropped by the Frog to check out their beer selection. Â I came right before lunch when they weren't too busy and the guys over there were very welcoming and invited me to check out their beer fridge which had the huge selection of bottled beer for sale. Â After perusing through the selection discussing what I drank from what region, they gave me couple recommendations. Â I ultimately chose the Grand Teton Brewing Co Black Cauldron Imperial Stout, a brew from the Salt Lake City region. Â Who knew that Utah had a booming beer producing reputation?
They have a handful of beers on tap there. Â Unlike the Yardhouse, they do quality over quantity which is much appreciated. Â I started with the Firehouse Amber Ale, a SoCal selection. Â It's a pretty chill and comfortable drinking experience. Â This place isn't super fancy or new like any of the newer gastropub restaurants being built in the other parts of the city. This is the library of beer, considering that it's so close to UNLV. Â If one wants to come here to learn, experience, and taste something new, then this is the place to go.
GREAT PLACE!!!
Didn't have high expectations when I came into this place. Reminded me of señor frogs in most Mexican cities. The inside is nice, mix of dive-pub look. After a few pitchers we were shown the upstairs. That's when this place earned 5 stars. Amazing selection of whiskey and beer. Bartender was knowledgable and easy to talk to. I don't like nightclubs so this is more me speed. Check it out
The Freakin' Frog is great! It is a nice size and has great food and a great selection of drinks. My favorite is their Cider on Tap. I love being able to go into a bar and feel welcome by the staff. The first time I went here I was greeted by the bartender with a hug! Now that is something you just don't forget!
Review Source:This place would seriously be an easy 5 stars if they would love the Senor Frogs college looking logo and do a little work on the inside. 1) the Whiskey Attic is amazing... selection, atmosphere, tastings... Perfect 2) the walk in fridge is legit, some of the beers are a little marked up but at least you can get some rare beers there 3) the food is below average college bars... the bartenders are working a grill behind the bar and when a regular tells me the "chili is the best thing they have"... no bueno.... 4) the dark, rundown bar area is creepy. A little work with the collection of taps could make this place a historic landmark in Vegas.
But all in all its the beer and whiskey why you come out... not the atmosphere. Hopefully they change the bottom floor to match the Whiskey Attic and then this place would be off the hook. Bottom line I will still stop here for the booze. Cheers
I really like this place.
Ok, so I'm not a big beer fan but if I was this would probably be my favorite bar. They have every beer you can imagine and the "beertenders" really know their stuff.
The proximity of FF to UNLV makes it an obvious college hangout, but overall the vibe is welcoming to all ages. I can't stress enough how knowledgable the staff was - not just about beer, but the city, and life in general.... lol.
My husband spent 2 hours upstairs in the Whiskey Attic for a Whiskey tasting and informational course while I hung out and waited downstairs. I made a point to tell the beertender (their term for themselves :) that I wasn't a beer fan, but after a couple of questions, he managed to pour me some beers that I found delicious.
We were having dinner elsewhere but I was starving and decided to order an appetizer. I chose "crack n' cheese" - the cleverly worded fried mac & cheese triangles. They were awesome!
Overall the service was awesome. I really enjoyed the staff and the vibe. With all the bar choices in town, I think it comes down to price and service. While it's not a "cheap cheap bar" the atmosphere and service are truly top notch
I am definitely coming back. If you are in the area it's definitely worth a drink or two... or three or four.
Cool Freakin' Place!
My bf and I were looking for a reasonably priced bar after work and after an intensive Yelping Session, we decided to give Freakin' Frogs a try. I know first impression is everything and Freakin' Frogs definitely delivered. It looks like a regular college bar with TVs playing sports, young crowd.. Adam fast approached us since we looked so lost at our bar stools and briefly went over the menu with us. When we showed our interests towards good beer and whiskey, that's when he opened the magic door of the whiskey attic and the beer heaven... 500+ selections of beer and 1000+ types of whiskey (if I remember correctly), we were truly in awe! We loved every beer we sampled and could not wait to go back to sample some more, and Adam invited us over for a poetry night with whiskey. We had a lot of fun meeting new people who have passion for great whiskey and great poetry. Definitely once in a lifetime experience.
This place is definately worth a trip if you are a beer enthusiast in Vegas and you hate the strip. The bar is a beer nerds dream. I found that because Lake Huron doesn't taste so good after treking 2,000 miles. Dank breweries don't exactly spring up in Nevada. It is half impossible to find good beer in sin city.
Fortunately the good people of Freaking Frog have stocked a cooler for weary travelers and locals alike. Â Unfortunately this amazing selection of beer is completely lost to the fact that the bartender has to walk you into the cooler and watch you pick out your selection. There is no leeway for the unexperienced. They say it's to hard to keep track of so many beers. Bullshit. The bottles are grossly over priced, but the bar is set high on quality and I was on vacation. As far as the Whiskey Attic- HFS. I am a huge drunk and love whiskey. The bartender was kind enough to take us up there and pour a jigger or two. Really cool room that was comfortable like an old pair of sneakers. The food here is terrible and if you come out make sure to eat first. Nothing worse than loosing your game to belly full of whiskey without food. All in all a really good experience and I might find myself here again some day.
Maybe it was the fact that there were only 6 other patrons, no music and a smell of paprika in the air (or maybe it was curry?), but I was very disappointed to say the least (the bartender said the smell was maple?- oh how my nose deceived me).
Maple? Are you cooking pancakes or serving beer? Anyway, ...
Was here on a Sunday night before a holiday, thinking people should be out bar hopping (pun intended), however, 6 patrons? All watching Family Guy on a big screen and several other smaller TV's (which Family Guy is a plus in my book), but it was boring here! After reading all the great reviews, I thought I found my go to, off the Vegas strip place. Meh, not so much ...
1000 beers? Um. "Excuse me bartender, may I please see the list of all of the available beers?" I flip through the pages of beers from Belgium, America, China, etc, etc, but can't help but wonder where all of the beers were hiding? All I saw were like 7-10 on tap and other regular stuff in a freezer (???really!???). I should just go to the liquor store next door.
I asked about the upstairs whisky room. "It's only available for special events" (as he slammed a biz card in front of me). Don't you know I'm from out of town?? Damn, I thought this was a special event, considering there is no one else in this place. Don't you want to serve/sell me some drank??!
Uhhhh.... I know now why they call it the Freakin Frog Bar because I hopped my ass on right outta there like those before me.
A friend and I came here after a UNLV basketball game since we didn't want to fight traffic going home. Best. Idea. Ever.
The two bartenders were super friendly and attentive although the bar was pretty busy. Â Their tap selection seemed pretty unremarkable, but they had Chimay and some of my favorites so I couldn't really complain.
When we asked about the Whiskey Attic, my girlfriend and I were offered a private tour of both the Whiskey Attic and beer cellar. It was awesome and really informative. Â I asked for the bartender's recommendation and he poured me a 1/2 glass of bourbon. Â It was absolutely delicious, but in my trappist beer induced state I couldn't remember what he had poured. :( Â
The beer cellar, while freezing, was equally as impressive and the tour was just as interesting. Â They had some Wesvleteren XII (beer aficionados will know what I'm talking about) and if I had the $50 per bottle they were asking for, I would've ordered one. Â Good thing I already had the Wesvleteren XII when it came out in December!
I'd definitely go again. And again. And again. I had a great time.
I only gave it 4 stars because the food was just meh. Â We had the sad sad nachos. I wouldn't recommend ordering any food while here. Â I know it's a bar, but still, the food was sub par even for bar food.
I love coming out here to hang out with friends and grab a drink! It's by UNLV which is great for UNLV students! Be warned though, during breaks, it gets pretty quiet, which is totally not the same atmosphere as when school is in session!
They rotate their tap beers and have a TON of selections in bottle though. There is something for everyone, I always like trying new things, so I like coming here and trying something different each time.
Their chili is something everyone MUST try, because it's delicious! Along with their waffle fries.
The bartender is always fun to talk to, does not matter who it is, they're awesome people with some awesome customer service!
Why I haven't been to the Freakin' Frog earlier, I can never say. Â I finally made it down there with some coworkers. Â The atmosphere is fairly brightly lit and has a trendy college scene feel to it. Â No slot machines!!!!! Â We were seated by very friendly staff, and the owner somehow knew that we were there for beer!
I ordered the turkey melt, which was really good. Â The cross cut fries were heavily seasoned and didn't need ketchup or ranch. Â Very nice bar food. Â The beers on tap were pretty exciting as well. Â Delerium Tremens, Uinta Labyrinth, Ruination, etc. Â Even more impressive was the cellar where they house more than 1100 beers. Â They offer beers from the best breweries in the world that you won't find elsewhere in Vegas such as The Bruery, Alesmith, Drie Fonteinen, Cantillon, etc. Â I purchased a Lolla Rossa (a cherry Flemish red) from the cellar on the recommendation of the staff, and was quite pleased with this outstanding beer! Â Props to the staff for being so beer knowledgeable. Â They also took us up to their whiskey room, which was filled with hundreds of whiskeys from around the world. Â They do a special tasting method developed by the owner where each tasting is customized for the group of people who go. Â Very cool stuff.
The downfall of the old Frog and the only reason I am not dishing out a 5/5 is the price of the beer. Â The good drafts will run you around $9 a pint. Â My Lolla Rossa was $50, and I am sure that was a bit high even or a 2011 Flemish red. Â I probably won't be coming here on a regular basis to get my beer fix, but I will definitely keep my eye on their special events. They had a Leipziger Goze on cask event coming up when I went, which is simply amazing for a craft beer nerd like me! Â
If you are into beer, the Freakin' Frog is a must try. Â It is also a great place for tourists since it is just a few minutes away from the Strip!
Upstairs tasting room was partying so nobody was allowed in which was too bad since it looked like a blast.
The band was jamming. Every other song seemed like a cover song. In between they just jammed to cleanse the palate I suppose. The stage is in close proximity so if you dig live music this is the spot. Everyone seemed pleased. Everyone had a good buzz going. Lakers won that night coming back from 12 to win the game.
The Freakin' Frog has a never ending list of beers which they have in a binder for you to look at. They sell most of them in singles at a premium. I bought a few and my wallet felt it. While there I think I had some Trois Pistoles and Dogfish head with Dogfish head poured from a draught. About the binder.. just be sure to wash your hands. Menus and binders like these don't get cleaned often and that's where bacteria breeds from all the patrons handling it. Of course you will be drunk and will forget but just throwing that out there.
Across from Freakin' Frog is In-n-out. GTFO.. really? Best time to eat burgers is when you're drunk and unable to drive. That double double was the best tasting In-n-out burger I've ever had the pleasure of eating in Vegas no doubt. Another off-the-strip-must-stop when I'm in Vegas.
I'm a wine lover. Â So what the hell was I doing at a beer joint?! Â Last Tuesday night class of the semester and we decided to celebrate across the street from the University.
This place is SERIOUS beer lover paradise. Â The very patient bartender suggested a Blue Star. Â Very pretty and fragrant - I thoroughly enjoyed it! Â And we enjoyed chatting with Adam who's passion for beer and spirits is not only transparent but contagious.
By the way, I like their jalapeno poppers too!
One of my favorite bars in LV. With hundreds of beers and a whole room upstairs dedicated to Whiskey its a fun place to experiment with new beers and whiskeys. Delirium Tremens on tap... one of the few places in vegas that has this beer! Also Nougat beer by the bottle. it tastes just like a snickers bar. Jack the bartender is awesome as well. and oh! free wi fi :)
Review Source:Framboise on tap = delicious! The owner was awesome and it's a super cool place to come chill a ways away from the strip.
My boyfriend really wanted to check this place out because of all the crazy cool craft beers they have (on tap and in a HUGE refrigerator) and I scored too because they had a nice girly drink for me :)
Definitely give this place a try if you're in the Vegas area and want to get away from the madness of the strip for a little while! Prices are great, too!
If you're looking for a five-star restaurant, look somewhere else. It's a bar! They have bar food! While may not have the biggest selection on tap, it's a constantly changing selection. So if you want to drink  Miller, go somewhere else. They have a great selection of many MANY kinds of beer in the cooler, So feel free to try something different for once.
Adam, The owner is a very Intimidating sort of fellow. But he's as good as gold.
They have live music and events all the time. During the day It's a laid-back bar and at night becomes Hoppin'.
And also it's one of the only places you can get Delirium Tremens on tap! If not the only.
The fryer was being cleaned so we had pizza but the pizza itself was pretty good.
The beer selection is the most impressive selection of beer in a walk in fridge I've ever seen. Definitely worth checking out if you're in town, it's now a must stop when I'm in Vegas.
(Bartenders are pretty cool)
My favorite place in Las Vegas. Â It's got it all - great beer, great cheap food, a relaxed, entertaining atmosphere, decent music, and great company. Â
This place carries the best of the best in beer, and has a huge selection. Â You can find a greater variety of California beers here than you can at any given place in CA I ever visited. Â I could detail all the great stuff they have that I love, but why bore you? Â Just trust that if you love it, they probably have it, or are trying their best to get it there. Â
They have really great cheap bar food too. Â Burgers and the like cooked to order behind the bar, and anything I've had there has really hit the spot. Â Reminds me a lot of the 'Boro in Murfreesboro, TN or places on the Cumberland Ave strip in Knoxville. Â All, as coincidence would have it, directly across the street from large public universities . . . ! Â
As a break from artificialvactionaland a few miles west, or just because you want to go somewhere great, definitely take the time to stop into th' Frog next time you're in Vegas.
Are you a beer snob? If yes, then read on or better yet, just go there right now.
My husband and I have found a great locals spot!! The inside of the bar wasn't spectacular, but the service and beer/whiskey selection more than made up for that. They have a huge beer frigde with a selection of bottled craft beer anyone can appreciate. They have my fav. Abita Purple Haze (a delicious Raspberry beer made in New Orleans) and my husband's fav. the 120 Minute Dogfish Head IPA!!! I'm not a IPA fan, but if you are then you know what I'm talking about and how hard it can be to get. We have not checked out the Whiskey Attic yet, but it sounds pretty amazing if you love your whiskey. They have rotating taps as well.
The bartenders were attentive and fun. One of them kept giving me Hersey kisses, what's not to love about that? They have live music; we heard 2 bands play and they were pretty good. Also, I don't know if smoking is permitted - But if it is this place was not smoky at all, I enjoyed that. They serve some food prepared right in front of you, behind the bar, and I'm a little confused on Vegas' definition of Dives but in my opinion this is not divey, it's casual.
I need to say this again, this is a beer/whiskey bar. They do have some liquor but if you are looking for mixed drinks, then why did you pick this place? Don't complain if they don't have what you want and instead take advantage of what they're known for (which as mentioned is a very large selection of BEER & WHISKEY). Once you enjoy enough of that you will no longer care that you can't have your vodka red bull. :)
I think this may be the perfect beverage component to a complete Man Cave.
Yeah, yeah, it's smaller now. And it is across from UNLV and sometimes has that ole college student pinch-a-penny feel. And, OK, prices are a bit higher than I'd like. Also there will be times when some guys will be wailing out songs out of an amp that should by all rights be acoustic.
But...other than Khoury's or Aces, you just aren't gonna get better beer on tap or in the cooler or a better selection of bourbons and whiskeys. I'm an advocate of choices and this place has it in spades.
So we have a mash up of decent college bar with a decent tap and a good walk-in cooler that is costly added to a great whiskey selection that is also costly.
Other pluses are: No smoke, no cover, and a friendly, burly, bearded biker behind the bar. And where else can you get a small dram of a whiskey to see if you want to buy a whole bottle. This alone can prove to be very cost effective.
Me? I'm going again and sampling me some whiskey from the defunct distillery Rosebank, and maybe have me a bottle of Lost Abbey, if not some Delirium or Squatters Hop Rising on tap.
The location makes it number one on my GPS.
The atmosphere makes it number one in my heart.
Was at UNLV on a Saturday afternoon with a group of 12 people who needed to get drunk fast without going very far, Freakin' Frog was our savior. The place is dead around 2pm but that's exactly what our obnoxious group needed. Their selection is more than what you would expect from a college bar, even has framboise and cider for the bougie crowd. 5 pitchers, 2 shots, 3 bowls of fried food later I was a happy happy camper - if I had a bar like Freakin' Frog near my alma mater I probably wouldn't have graduated on time.
This is a review for the bar/beer selection and the atmosphere. Honestly, the tap list is just "okay" it doesn't revolve enough and they really just need a better selection. It's craft like, but with just average beer. The bottle selection is clearly astounding in just shear volume. the problem is that most of the beers that they have aren't age-able ales so realistically most of the bottled beer you are drinking(especially obscure ones) are going to be old and not taste like they are meant to.
The atmosphere is spot on. Bartenders are friendly and the vibe is hipster/indie which i like. Its not the best craft bar I have been to, i feel like they have really missed on the tap selection, Aces & Ales does a much better job on tap. Still a 4/5 for sure and worth a stop!
Love, love, love this place. Â It is my favorite bar in town....too bad I do not live closer to it. Â The bartenders here are really laid back and chill, very easy to talk to. Â They have a huge selection of beer (as I am a woman who will choose beer over anything) and they will even give you a tour of the beer refrigerator (of course it is a selling tactic but still awesome). Â I'm a huge Strongbow fan (which is a hard cider from England) and this is the only bar in Las Vegas that I found has it. Â They also have Carlsberg from Denmark. Â Jazz bands perform here around 9 p.m....some of them are good while others are well, ok.
They have a whiskey attic, but the downside is that they are super selective about who they actually let up there. Â I have only been there once since you need a "reservation", but my friends and I were able to sweet talk our way up there. Â
Oh and it is a nonsmoking bar without any cheesy poker gambling options!
This place deserves 5 stars for their awesome road-bike-looking-workers, and for letting me in to see my favorite singer, even though im not of age!
Even though its a bar, they dont card you as soon as you go up to the door. If you order a drink they will. Its an interesting venue. Great for musicians, and for people who are deeply interested in whiskey and other beverages. The food is also pretty good. Had a burger, and loved it!
I love the people, the service and the atmosphere..
i had low expectations of this place. It looked very deserted from the outside and especially in the inside!
I went here with a couple of friends..one of my friends ranted about the beers. I'm not a big fan of beers but checked it out anyways.
So the waiter was also the cook and bartender lol. He was pretty chill and funny..
He showed us his walk-in fridge which was filled with 1000s of beers!
He had a limited menu of the basic burgers, sandwiches, etc.
I ordered a reg. cheeseburger..which was REALLLLLLLY GOOD. It came with waffle fries..and oh man that was good too!
My friend ordered the lucifier burger..and boy was it THE HOTTTTTTEST BURGER ever!
That burger belongs on MAN vs FOOD PRRRRONTO!
i've tried a few beers...but can't comment much on it because again, i'm not a big beer fan. Although, the beer drinkers in my party were super satisfied and were ordering beers left to right. I believe some of the beers were unique and difficult to find at grocery stores or liquor stores.
I'd def. come back when i'm back in vegas. I plan on taking my bf here so he can try it..hes a burger type of man.
Dayum! What a beer list! Never would have expected it from a bar called "Freakin' Frog", but hey, what do I know?
If I went to UNLV or lived nearby, I'd be at this bar a lot. Wouldn't say that this is the fanciest place I've ever been to or has the best entertainment, but they do have pumpkin beer on tap and it's good. You could probably visit Freakin' Frog every night of the week for several months and not have the same drink twice. Hence why they're near a college campus :)
Its nice that they have craft beer but there are barely any taps & the selection rarely changes. The feel of the bar is boring and they never utelize the stage with good performances. They have made it into a bar for old college professors. If your a beer snob there is a bunch of other places way cooler than this place to go to. I was forced to go here for awhile but now there are places way better and with just as good of a selection if not better. Check out Ace's & Ales if your a real beer snob. They're pretty awesome. Also yard house, big dogs and chicago brewery are good.
I look at the frog as a last resort for a good beer.
Before you read any further, do not, I mean DO NOT come here when they first open and still have all the lights on and floors reeking of bleach. I felt like I was in a hospital waiting room and wanted to leave. That being said, this place is all right once the lights are dimmed and your nose has become accustomed to the bleach.
What makes this place spectacular is their 900 + beers in their cooler. I've died and gone to beer heaven. It gets better. No way, how could it possibly? They have a whiskey attic with 200 + whiskeys!! A snifter of whiskey, a fine cigar, and some comfortable leather seats. It's a touch of class in a wild place.
I can't say how the live music is, we were there too early, but the stage was a decent size.
Don't forget to try the habanero chili. Good stuff, then wash it down with some of the finest beers you can't find at your local grocery store.
This place was not at all what I was expecting when I walked in -- or up the stairs to the magical land of 600 whiskys. Â Whiskeys? Â Look, the point is that even when in that cloud of brown aether, at 3 AM, I had a consummate professional who knew what was up and serving a proper quantity of whiskey at a good price.
Also, a 11% beer that knocked me over.
This place is amazing!
If you aren't a beer-snob or a beernasseur, this isn't your bar. You're spot is down the street at PT's. I didn't partake in the whiskey but from what I have seen in the attic, it is extremely impressive.
The bands that would play there were decent. Some were great the others were meh. But like I said, I was there to escape Vegas.
You better love beer! And know that the good stuff, brews you can't get everywhere, might cost a bit. With this in mind, talk to you bartender and be sure to get a tour of the cooler.
It seems like anyone other that Jack (THE MAN!!) is just kinda any other bartender. But Jack will talk to you about what you like and what you want to spend and make suggestions.
Because it's across the street from UNLV, the music nights are hit or miss. It's kind of rough when you want to drink good beer, but have to listen to crap music.
Everyone must check this place out. Chances are, it's for you!
It has been quite some time since I have visited the Frog. This was the fundamental university haunt. When I had a difficult day at school, I walked across the street. When it was time to celebrate the ending of finals week, I walked across the street. Because the sky was blue, cloudy, or dark, I walked across the street.
In retrospect, I wonder how this uni student was able to come here so often because the beverages are pricey. Do not fret though, within the vast variety the beertender will aid you in finding a drink that meets your taste and budget.
When I walked back through that familiar door, memories came flooding back because the decor has seen very little change. Looking at the staff, initially, made me sad. All my favorite beertenders are gone, but  it did not take me long to see that the vibe is still the same. I am sure after a few visits I will have a new lineup of go to experts. Jack, for one, is already moving up on the list. For a gruff looking biker, he is able to sweet talk the ladies and shoot the breeze with the guys. Â
Now for the goods. Happy Hour goes from 4pm-7pm but talk to the person behind the bar for the selections. Only certain beers off the tap are available. The sweet potato tots drizzled in honey and dusted with powder sugar is a must. Tots are a feel good food. Just focus on the fact that sweet potatoes are a super food, ignore that they are fried, and allow yourself to be in heaven. The waffle cut fries are also a favorite. Large pieces and a generous order. All the food is inexpensive to moderately priced. My friend has a soy allergy, pulled a random order out of nowhere, and Jack still made it for her.
Beer and WiFi: a winning combination! The past couple of weeks I have been visiting the Freakin' Frog around 4pm in the afternoon, and I am adding a star because this is an ideal spot for getting some afternoon remote work done while enjoying some beer and cheese fries. (This sustenance is key to accomplishing most tasks.)
It may be a tad dark, but it is nice and cool, smoke free, quiet and equipped with free wifi! The bartender is a hoot. When I went to pay, he asked me if he'd given me my kiss for the day, I laughed uncomfortably, and then...he handed me a Hershey's kiss. Phew. Now, I know I can expect a kiss every time I visit! If you're looking for a spot to accomplish some computer work in the late afternoon, add the Frog to your list. Oh, Frog, you offer so much!
So since I can't review them separately this is For the Frog AND The Whiskey attic.
In most cases this would be a 5 star dive bar. They have almost any beer you could ever want and many you have never heard of. The staff, for the most part, knows more about beer than your average brewery employee and can guide you through the menu with ease.
There is a good jukebox, and with the high ceilings it is a great place frequently see FREE live music.
I've only eaten here once, and I had the Chilli, which I'm pretty particular about and there's definitely hits the spot, served  in a big bowl and heavy enough to satisfy your stomach and hold up to a night of beer sampling.
The rest of menu is typical bar food favorites like burgers, wings, fries, nachos, etc.
The Whiskey Attic is the place where a whiskey fanatic's dreams come true. When I first walked through the door and entered the room I felt like Howard Carter breaking through the wall into Tut's tomb.
It's not open all the time and to get up there you basically have to request it from the staff, usually when Adam is there. On both occasions I've been he took our group up to see it and give us a rundown of the place.
But....like I said this WOULD be a 5 star, except for one factor.
PRICES!
Go during happy hour and take advantage. Some of these items are understandably high because they are limited, seasonal, or specially imported...but trust me I know how much beer costs...especially here in Las Vegas. And the reason I'm not a frequent patron (even though I like the place) is that in that atmosphere with that location everything is 10-20% higher than its competition and demographic.
So...If for example I want a Huckleberry Finn Nut Brown Bourbon Ale or a 23 year old whiskey that I just can't get anywhere else, the Frog/Whiskey Attic is where I'll go.
Or if I'm on campus around happy hour I'll stop in for a quick one. But otherwise this place will be my favorite place that I never go.
Five. Five stars for a bar. This is a rare occasion for me!
I pulled in and barely noticed the sign. I checked Yelp to check in and noticed 54 reviews. That's how I knew it was going to be a great bar. If this hole of a place had 54 reviews, they've got to be doing something right.
It's like... half a dive, half nice bar. The bartenders were super friendly, there was live jazz on stage. I got pulled on stage and tried to fart into the microphone, but was unable to fart on command. Supreme disappointment.
They had some incredible beers on tap, and an even larger selection in the back fridge. Over 600 whiskeys too.
I'm definitely coming back here with my friends and if you haven't checked it out, you should too.
Remember, though, that little game machine sitting in one of the booths will just take your money. It doesn't work! Good trick, Freakin' Frog! Assholes. JK, I love you.
This review focuses on The Whiskey Attic (upstairs from the Freakin' Frog). Â The Frog itself is a decent college bar, but not much more. Â The Attic, however, is a national treasure. Â
Hidden near the UNLV campus and above a college bar, the Whiskey Attic houses the largest collection of whiskeys in America. Â The bar operates by appointment only at this point and was formerly a private club (note: call Freakin Frog to arrange a time to visit the Whiskey Attic). Â
But once you get in the door . . . wow. Â Wow. Â Almost 1,800 bottles lines the walls offering different whiskeys to sample (drinks are served in dram, or tasting, sizes). Â The variety runs from Georgia Moon Corn Whiskey (read: almost moonshine) to Springbank (ringing in at $400 a taste). Â Almost no one knows about what's hiding in the Attic, but for a whiskey lover, it's a welcome surprise.
