You know how when you go to some casinos you find yourself gravitating to certain places over and over..? That seems to be me at the Unknown every time I come to the Palms. Maybe it's the big dissected Tiger shark above the bar or just it it's location but either way last night after Scotch 80 prime we ended up here for a night cap. Once again we had a nice round of drinks with good service with simple but effective ambience. Im sure I'll find myself sitting here again upon my next visit.

Hubby had just suffered a (minor) loss at a roulette table so I took him to the nearby bar to buy him a drink. Our bartender was friendly and sympathetic toward Hubby's roulette loss. She made us a cocktail that caught our attention, Smoke N Mirrors made with tequila, mezcal, orgeat, and lime juice. This was the kind of drink that made us say "wow" upon first sips. It has a bit of smoky flavor, a hint of sweetness, and a perfect balance of citrus. If I'm gonna pay $16 for a drink, I was glad that this was worth it. https://bit.ly/44dyyU7This Palms casino bar is pretty central. The DJ was playing awesome music from the 80s and we had such a great time, we ended up hanging out here longer than we anticipated. Great for people-watching!

I loved this bar. Everyone in the building, including the performers at the event we were at, called it "The Shark Bar". But I now see that it is actually called Unknown. So our destination was Unknown on this particular evening. :DThe decor and design of the oval-shaped bar and space are beautiful. Colored dots and lots of use of white, give it an art gallery feel. And of course, the shark which is in three sections above the bar is the centerpiece of the room, which is shocking. It's in preservative fluid and it is a real shark.That is unique. And unusual. And probably a bummer for the shark.The bartenders are on their game and make excellent drinks. There is no food here. There was a DJ the night we were here, and I believe there is live music on certain evenings. If I had any negatives, the service through the overworked servers was slow. We never got service, despite being promised "I'll be right with you". Going to the bar seemed to be the better move, although even that was a long wait. I chalk that up to the overload of people here. When it's busy, the dynamics of trying to walk around the bar, find a seat, or even get out of the way make all three of those goals impossible. They could use a little more space, or moving the furniture out of the way of transit. I would definitely come back here again.

Here at the Palms Casino is the Unknown Bar And if you are lucky to be served by G he will make you the best mix drinks, never disappoints and he is very attentive to his client's G is very friendly and generous with the alcohol. . This is my spot every time I come to Vegas you won't be disappointed, prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this spot if you want to have a good time.

Came here to celebrate after my friend's wedding while we waited for our table at A.Y.C.E. Buffet at the Palms. The seating area was elegant, sleek, and grand with white tables and chairs around the bar. I ordered a Mai Tai cocktail and I have to say the bartender named Oliver is amazing! He was kind, attentive, and he made our drinks so well! It was balanced, sweet, and refreshing. And for a reasonable price it was $13. I recommend coming here and asking for him specifically, he knows how to make drinks! 5/5 stars perfect cocktails!

This bar is located inside the Palms in the center of the casino floor. On Saturday night this place was playing all the 2000 jams. I loved it! There is seating at the bar as well as table tops with sofas and chairs. This place is very nice and has a great vibe if you're looking for a cocktail and good music.

Service here was great and so was the drink I ordered. I normally don't drink alcohol so I was not sure what I wanted when I came here. I know that some bars do not have menus as they expect the customers to know what they want. With this bar, I did ask for a menu and the drinks were priced at $16. I ordered the Sapphire Drop and it was pretty delicious as I do like sweet alcoholic drinks. I will definitely come back here again sometime in the future :)

So this is a really cool bar. You can't really miss it because there's a huge shark in the middle of the bar setting itself. As soon as you come into the palms hotel this is what you're going to see. They have TVs around and plenty of seats. The bartender was super friendly and nice, nothing wrong with the service so far. The drinks are not super eccentric but they have a lot of things that you wouldn't necessarily expect go together. I tried the pomegranate whiskey drink because that's the only whiskey drink that they had. During happy hour they have a special to where you get half off of the specialty drinks and half off of the wine, or it's $8 or so. So it's worth coming to just to pass by if you're already in the casino.

I've passed this bar a few times before, always loved how beautiful it is. Located at the heart of Palms Resort Casino, I came here on a Tuesday evening. It was not busy, a chill evening with live music. They played some really great music with live singing. The waitresses and bartenders were attentive, greeted me upon arrival and offered a menu right away. The first drink I ordered was the Sapphire Drop, recommended by the bartender, it was good, a bit sweet for me. The 2nd drink I tried was the butterfly effect, loved the lavender color and the taste was just right. I liked the butterfly effect more than Sapphire drop.

Pre-movie tank fill at The Palms. Nursed the $18 Buffalo Stampede until showtime. Though the liquid did not reach even the midway point of the Palms-branded cube, the cocktail was strong, and the spiced sugar lent a delicious contrast.Atmosphere: Lots of white marble, cream and gold, punctuated by the multicolored dipping dots on the walls. Centrally located in the casino, low walled, music from the floor. TVs were imbedded into the pillars, a good non-intrusive way to maintain the sleek lines of the bar. Then, of course, the eponymous segmented shark over the bottle display; shades of Hannibal.Service: Male bartender all business; lady bartender more particular about detail.
