Vanguard

Flee the glitz at this Downtown Vegas spot that feels like a local watering hole, with a thick marble slate bar top, varnished concrete floors and sweet photographs by Vegas artist Jorge Novoa dotting the walls. Dranking's covered by international wines and specialty cocktails like the Perfect Passage (Death's Door Gin, Prickly Pear Puree, Domaine De Canton, cinnamon tea, simple syrup, lemon, egg white) and the Broken Neck, with Death's Door White Whiskey, Drambuie, honey lemon simple syrup, and celery bitters, although how would you feel if everyone totally ignored you until the wings were gone?
