Best of Vegas 2015
Great bars crowd Downtown’s main drags, but one packs the indoor/outdoor charm, gutsy craft and old-fashioned bartending into a space that feels like a train car. Oak & Ivy is small but mighty, from its riffs on the Moscow Mule to a rich rye drink that comes with a performance involving fresh herbs and a hand torch. You don’t need a man bun or a membership to sip and sigh with Japanese whiskey or a barrel-aged mai tai. Container Park, oakandivy.com.
