Classic Jewel

"Attended for comedy night. Show started exactly an hour after it’s scheduled time of 8pm, which kind of mixed up my plans for the evening (concerts/clubs I expect to run late, I have never been to a comedy show that didn’t start mostly on time). I was able to see two comics before I had to leave that were ok. The space has beautiful decor with chandeliers and nice comfy seating. Decent size space, with one side for the bar and another with a stage for shows. Hip/hop, Rap music. Nice bathrooms. They serve hookah and had food. The drinks were fairly priced, $10, but not strong (I always wonder why alcohol taste different in certain places). A nice place to bring out of towners away from the strip. Plenty of free street parking at night. Convenient location."

"We visited this black owned establishment on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. This business is located in downtown Las Vegas. They have Trap Bingo and Karaoke on Tuesday nights. It states on their Instagram, entry was free before 10 PM. We arrived around 8:40 PM. Upon arrival outside, there is a security guard we showed ID’s to. This didn’t appear to be the rundown ghetto part of downtown Las Vegas. We felt pretty safe in this area. I’m not sure about parking, since we just took an Uber here. It did appear that they had side street parking, however I didn’t see anywhere you had to purchase it so maybe it’s free. The security guard did not check my boyfriend’s pockets or my purse before we entered. Once we entered the establishment it was quaint, clean, and had a laidback ambience. They had R&B and Hip-hop hits playing overhead. We decided to sit at the bar, but there were other patrons smoking hookah and having drinks. They do have a QR code hookah menu, where you can select your hookah flavor. We don’t smoke hookah, so we didn’t partake. The bartender Sierra was very nice, professional, and welcoming. We asked her for a drink menu, but they don’t have one. I decided to order a Bahama mama and my boyfriend ordered a Mojito. The drinks didn’t take long to make. I do feel they need a drink menu! The Bahama mama was its standard flavorful drink. It was sweetly balanced and not overly strong. My boyfriend enjoyed his Mojito and I did sample it myself. The Mojito was refreshing and pretty balanced. They also have food at this establishment, but we had already eaten before arrival. They have several TV’s right by the bar. We were able to watch the WNBA playoffs game and the US Open tennis matches. I asked the bartender what time the Trap Bingo was starting and she stated it would be around 9 PM. She also stated they would have Karaoke that night more than likely. They also have a back room area, which I was able to go view. We were informed we also could sit back here in this area, but just not at the high top tables which require reservations. I just sipped on my Bahama mama throughout our time there. The bartender checked on us consistently to see if we needed anything or wanted to order anything else. Like any bar, you can start a tab and leave it open or close it upon purchasing your items. Keep in mind they do add 18% gratuity to every bill, which seems to be a standard practice for black owned businesses these days. As the night went on, several more patrons entered the building and were seated. We also noticed that they never did Trap Bingo like the bartender stated. We stayed here for about an hour and a half and they still hadn’t started. They did start broadcasting music videos on one of the TVs, which had a statement at the bottom entitled Hip-Hop Bingo. I felt this was a bit misleading on their part as a business. I even directly asked the bartender who stated they would have Bingo on this evening. It also states this as I said on their Instagram page. I feel this is a gimmick to get patrons to come in on a Tuesday night to order drinks, hookah, and food. It appeared throughout the night at times they were going to start the Trap Bingo. It never came to fruition for some reason when we were there. I don’t not recommend this place, but definitely don’t pay attention to their advertisements. Especially the advertisements of them having Trap Bingo on Tuesday nights, if you go on a Tuesday. I do feel more than likely on a Wednesday night they do have live music and a band. This is due to the business advertising it more heavily on their Instagram and website pages. Overall this was a pretty good evening and we did enjoy ourselves for the amount of time we stayed. We decided to leave around 10 PM, because they still hadn’t started the Trap Bingo. I’m still unsure if it actually took place after we left. I think it’s great that this establishment is a black owned lounge in Las Vegas. This is quite unique and rare. You don’t find a lot of black owned establishments in Las Vegas, let alone a lounge."

"The bartenders are really cute and friendly, they make excellent drinks and the pricing is moderate for Vegas. Customer service is spot on overall, security made everything feel safe. I stopped in to see the band for The Shed last week, which was on point. The vocalists and saxophonist meshed so well. I will definitely be back for another performance or event."
