Aria Lobby Bar

This was the first bar I went to as soon as I was 21. Mike was friendly and great at mixing drinks. I wasn’t sure what I liked and he made a vodka and raspberry cocktail for me. It was delicious. He also gave my boyfriend and I the bar snacks to enjoy and had great conversation with us. We had so many good laughs. Made us guess what the flavor of the popcorn was. I got it! He said most people don’t get it so I won’t spoil it on here. This is a great stop for a quick drink if you’re staying at Aria or anywhere in CityCenter.

During my stay at the Aria Sky Suites, I visited the Aria Lobby Bar at least half a dozen times. The bar is almost always packed, but service was spot on every time. I’ve walked in several times all throughout the day and we tried several of the drinks on their menu — all were great!
Great place to relax after a day on the casino floor, and equally great place to come and experience some nightlife!

Super pricey delicious drinks. Good loud music playing in the lounge area. We had a great time just me and my babe. We created our own party. Live life like your on vacation!

The lobby bar at Aria is just gorgeous! We stopped here for a little break and wound up staying a couple hours. All of the casinos and bars inside the casinos in Vegas are so dark since none of them have windows. Not the Aria lobby bar! This place was wonderfully light and airy, it’s like being in a garden outdoors. They had really fun whimsical flowers/​art installations hanging from the ceiling and it’s Vegas so of course there is great people watching.
We sat on some super comfy couches and drank champagne all afternoon. It was just such a nice break being inside but actually getting to enjoy the sun. We all enjoyed the atmosphere. I’d highly recommend lobby bar for a place to grab a quick drink (or sit around like we did and enjoy the scenery).

The bartender had me kicked out of the bar because he said I was «rude» to his friend. I literally had just walked in the bar and I had no idea what he was talking about. I proceeded to go to another bartender there because I thought he just confused me and was having a bad day. The other bartender served me a drink, then the other bartender grabbed it and threw the drink out and had security escort me out. NOT because I was overly intoxicated, word for word he said «I’m not serving you you were rude to my friend». I was so disturbed and embarrassed by this situation. I’ve never been escorted out of ANYWHERE, let alone to think out of the lobby bar from my favorite hotel! Who hires this kind of unprofessionalism? To this day I’m so disturbed by this incident and that Aria would allow staff like this to work for them! I stepped foot in that place and walked straight up to the bar and talked to no one on my way. The only thing I can possibly think is if «his friend» attempted to approach me and I kept walking. But a girl has a right to NOT talk to whomever she pleases. And because you’re a bartender you think you can kick someone out for this? That is insane! Aria was my favorite hotel, but after this incident I will NEVER stay at Aria again!

Excellent service by Alan & Manny. The new cocktail menu was nice! I recommend the Pear cocktail, tasted like a yummy spiced pear. The complimentary snacks were spot on — I want more of the popcorn! Delish.

Excellent service provided by Nick and Geoff. Well crafted drinks. Complimentary snacks.

My mom and my sister ordered tea and I ordered one glass of rose. I saw the manager told the waitress that he doesnot want us to stay here maybe cause we are Asian or my mom ordered tea. This is totally a racist place and I don’t think everyone should come here. Will never come back here. The waitress called Jennifer was nice but the manager was definitely being a $@$&@&! I wish I could give 0 star.

The wait staff does their best but they are severly short staffed. The experience is diminished by this as there is barely any engagement and actions are done robotically. The sitting area is comfortable but the ambience is slightly bland.

I stayed the last 4 days at SkySuites for my CES 2015 trip I came here every day to meet up with my team of clients after the show. The service was good and I love the Krug Champagne by the glass, the tiniest bubble you will ever feel on your tongue! Once you go Krug Champagne, it’s hard for you to drink any other Champagne, and it’s only $ 37 per glass, it’s a BARGAIN in Las Vegas.
Thanks to the Wine Director Kim Wood to make this more accessible for the Krug fans like myself!

Aria has a severe staff shortage right now. I’m not sure if it is because they can’t find employees or if they are deliberately cheap. From the valets to the check-​in to servers on the casino floor, it seems like all their people are very overworked since they just don’t have enough of them. So, after a couple hours of gambling and no cocktail waitress in sight, we decided to take a break and head up to the bar. Same story here, one waitress and one bartender for the whole place. Even though we had to wait a good while for our cocktails, the waitress was super sweet and brought us ice waters and two lovely silver dishes of snack mix. One of them was wasabi peas, a personal favorite of mine. Overall a pleasant experience. Even though the drink I ordered was $ 12 it was really good.

Great bar and great atomsphere! Manny is by far the best bartender I have had! I highly recommend this bar and drinks from Manny!

This place never fails! I’ve been coming for 5 years and I always have an amazing time. Staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming. Order from Manny he will make some yummy drinks and make you laugh all night.

Nice lounge areas, nice resort/​casin however over priced. Glass of standard red wine is $ 15. It’s a cool place but as everything in Vegas it is grossly over priced. It worked for us because we were tired of walking around and just wanted a place to sit down.

We have been coming here for years and the service has always been above and beyond anywhere else. Everyone here is knowledgable and a personality, but if you have the pleasure of being served by Manny or Joe, you will never be happy at any other bar in Vegas. The Lobby bar is a mandatory stop every time I come to Vegas.

Really can’t say enough about this place. I have been coming here for years and just recently noticed the not-​so-​favorable review on Unilocal.Please don’t shy away. Come in, go to the bar (go directly to the bar) order a drink from Manny, Nick or Joe. You will NOT be disappointed!

We love Manny! Drinks are always delicious and service is always lovely. No need for a menu. Just tell him your preferred type of alcohol (vodka/​rum/​tequila… + sweet/​no sweet/​fruity…) and he will whip up something magically delicious! This is our must stop whenever we are in Vegas.

After a delicious meal at Julians. we decided to move across the restaurant to the «lobby bar» the bar is a very comfy lounge with plush seats and plenty of tables. We seated ourselves and waited for a cocktail waitress to come take our order. After 2 or 3 minutes a girl approached us to give us a menu and said «she’ll be right with you» waited again for another 10 minutes, place was not packed, there were only another 3 tables so I decided to go to the bar myself and order, no big deal. The BIG deal now is that the second girl came to our area where there was a table directly next to us she came back to them about 3 times asking if all was fine, she proceeded to also ask the other 2 tables all the while ignoring us completely. The second time I came back with drinks, my friend said the waitress just came and asked if we were done with the menu and took it. When she was yet again asking our neighbors if all was good we called her over and asked her why she was giving everyone else service but us. She proceeded to tell us she was sorry but she was the only one working and kept seeing us with drinks and thought we were okay and that she thought someone else was helping us… UM YOU JUST SAID YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WORKING THAT LOBBY BAR?!? she put her foot in her own mouth and that right there told me all I need to know. I wish I could remember her name but she’s thin and bow legged. With the high prices charged for drinks there I would also expect much better service, exceptional service.
By the way we were there for over an hour.
Definitely on my sh! t list and won’t be back.

I am a big fan of the lobby bar in the Aria. I am also a big fan of the Aria as well. This small bar has televisions and friendly staff. Anything you want, they have here.
The bar is right when you walk in and next to the hotel reception area. I came here a few times to come in and have a drink before heading to my room or the casino.

This use to known as the former «View Bar «which was awesome! !! It was actually one of our must visit bars every time we would be out in Vegas. Not anymore.
The replace is now Lobby Bar. This place was very disappointing. We walked in at about 10 pm on a Friday night. Not many people there at all. We walked past 2 waitresses who were just hanging out talking. We sat ourselves at the end of the lounge facing the Aria lobby entrance so we can people watch and enjoy the lounge. We sat there for 20 minutes and no one even bothered to approach us and take our order. The drinks are also different now as well as the employees. No familiar faces at all. Looks like everyone jumped ship when this became Lobby Bar and I don’t blame them. Bring View Bar back and the great service with the great drink menu. We would be back. But until then, we will continue walking past Lobby Bar onto the following bar that sits in the casino with live music. View bar was great. Had the piano player and relaxing atmosphere.
