Golden Gai Cocktail Club

Swanky intimate Japanese cocktail lounge located inside the Wakuda restaurant at the Palazzo hotel. The ambiance, decor, and DJ all attributed to such a fun vibe - perfect for grabbing a cocktail. Wanted to try their food but unfortunately by 12 AM, the kitchen was already closed. Service was friendly, with our water being constantly refilled (much appreciated!). Drinks were unique and hands down my favorite during my Vegas trip. Shinjuku Old Fashioned (5/5) $22 - Toki whisky, rum blend, honey, capano antica vermouth, bitters. An old fashioned made right the way it was supposed to be. Great balance of flavors with the slight aroma of the orange peel. The clear ice cube was proportional to the cup (so proportioned that it held the orange peel the entire time) a nice detail that other old fashions lack - and also a symbol that your drink wasn't going to be overly-diluted by the ice cube. Yuzu Margarite (5/5) $22 - Volcan tequila, lime, yuzu agave, muddled oranges, wasabi salt rim. A twist & tasty variation of the classic margarita. The yuzu provides a nice citrus note combined with the lime and oranges. I enjoyed the wasabi salt rim - it provided a kick but was highly addicting paired with the drink. The only downside was they automatically charge 20% gratuity to your check (even when we were a party of two) without noting it anywhere on the menu or from the server. It wasn't until we received the check, the server told us it was added, and that there was a separate line to tip the busser. Of course we tipped additional to our busser, but the ending experience was a little off-putting since we were not notified ahead of time. Despite this, I still enjoyed what Golden Gai had to offer.

This place is so new that it's not even on Google as of now. We were able to walk in without reservations but that won't be true for long once people realize this place exists lol.I got the lychee martini which was AMAZING! There was this little green wakamomo peach which was soooo good. My boyfriend said this is the best old-fashioned he's ever had. Atmosphere and DJ were both amazing, service was also killer. Highly recommend!

Come check out this cocktail lounge recently opened at the palazzo! Menu is pretty simple and up front. We had lychee martinis and margaritas. Both super delicious. Unfortunately they were sold out of their matcha Martini I hope to try that next time! For appetizers we had the katsu bites and spicy tuna both super tasty. They have a outside patio and heaters available as well. Drinks, food, and service were amazing! They have a live DJ playing my only complaint would be the music other than that this is a super cute place

Located downstairs of the palazzo casino near the lobby area, inside wakuda the restaurant! We love a nice cocktail lounge with a DJ. There's not many options for food open late at the palazzo so that was also a plus! Service was also great, everyone was friendly and so attentive. We'll be back to visit soooon

This is one of my favorite spots in vegas. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and will make you the best cocktail you've ever dreamed up. The cocktail girls are absolutely beautiful and so sweet and attentive. As soon as you enter, the hostess is always very warm and accommodating. The manager Peter commands the room with confidence and a big smile always. The room is beautiful and they always have the absolute best music playing. It's a great place to go to for a late night bites and a fun vibe .This place is absolutely amazing and definitely one of my go to favorites on the strip.

The matcha martini is to die for!! Great vibe, music, and service. They have a DJ nightly Tuesdays thru Saturdays starting at 930pm and they are open till 2am!

Been looking for a new cocktail lounge. Amazing atmosphere. Matcha Martini is a must try!

NEW HOT SPOT ALERT!!! If you're looking for a place with great drinks, great service, and a great ambiance... this is THE place to be! Everything here was exceptional! Top notch all around! Truly a special place! We'll be back for sure!!!

Let me start by saying when I walked in the ambiance was beautiful. The hostess greeted me and my date with a smile and it didn't take long to be seated. You can either sit outside or inside, we chose outside and did not regret it ! We started with a few appetizers. I had the Wasabi Caesar Salad , AMAZING and miso soup which was so tasty and warming. Next, the crispy tuna .. which was so good and I loved how the set up included a spoon to add the tuna on top of your crispy rice. All of the sashimi was fresh and perfectly sliced . Overall this was an amazing place for date night & girls night out. I can't wait to return !

Came here with some of my girlfriends and we had such a fun time! The whole lounge is beautiful and cocktails were delicious! The service was amazing as well, definitely will be back again for girls night!
