Ghost Donkey

Heard about this Speak Easy from instagram. Pretty easy to find if you follow the directions. No reservations needed and the flow of people coming and going back getting a seat not to hard. Wife said she had the best Mezcal drink there of her life. The staff was quick and attentive. Even though they were busy took a little time to explain drinks to the group. Small place, fun and if you like Mezcal its a must stop if you can find it.

Cute little hidden gem. Ordered a flight to try some new tequilas and nachos. The server was very knowledgeable and had a lot of recommendations. She didn't know about one tequila we chose, and she spent time to research stuff about it. Very good customer service. My only complaint is the limited food options, but it is mostly a tequila bar. Would recommend, if you can find it 😀

If it's a secret, I want in. If it's mezcal, I want in. If it's a cocktail, likely I want in. Combine all three of these and add in a ghost donkey surveying the whole scene, then, oh man, I've arrived where I want to be. I've been lucky enough to find/wander into a few of the "secret" speakeasies in Vegas...this one was only secret in that the entrance was tucked away in the back of the small food court area in the Cosmopolitan...but otherwise there was no gatekeeper or password...you just open the door and you're in. (it's also possible I was there at a lucky time when it was mostly full but not so busy that I needed to wait to find a seat or order.) The atmosphere is cool. I sat near the ghost donkey which is almost all I've ever needed out of any experience. I'm a fan of Mezcal and also of bourbon-based drinks like a Manhattan...so the mezcal-based "Smoked Corn and Coconut Manhattan" seemed like it would be a dream. And it kind of was. Perfectly mixed...familiar flavors but really unlike anything I've had before. I really liked it. My big plan was to head off to another resort to try a NYC slice but my server clued me into another secret of the Cosmopolitan, Secret Pizza, which was about a two-minute walk from Ghost Donkey. So basically what I'm saying is I'm moving to the Cosmopolitan to live there forever, drinking in Ghost Donkey and eating Secret Pizza. This was a really fun place to be and drink and helped round out a really fun night in Vegas.

I spent only an hour here but I think it's a good bar. Place was full but service was outstanding. Very friendly staff, quick service and cocktails were really good. Mexican themed. My favorites were Lavender Vida Loca and El Espresso Martini. They have a good selection of spirits. Nice to enjoy a few drinks and snacks.

We had guacamole and queso. Margaritas are delicious. It's definitely a spot we'll return to. The only con is the capacity. It's tiny, and I wanna say 30 people or less. I always stay at the Cosmopolitan Hotel when in Vegas. I like many places with the Hotel and have reviewed them in their respective Google maps sections. Check out the Ski Lodge as well!

Jacob was amazing! The mezcal old fashioned was my favorite drink. To get here, you walk straight past the Hattie B's register and turn left at the big booth ahead. The espresso martini was amazing too. The sweet iced drinks are very sweet. They have such unique salts to try. I would bring someone here for a fun one time experience but wouldn't return again otherwise.
