Bars Unknown : The Original Vegas Strip Bar Crawl

Fantastic tour! We had such a great time with Jonathan. He is extremely knowledgeable about not only the bars we went to but also the history of Las Vegas. We leaned so much and had so much fun. It was an awesome way to start our trip in Vegas - we got a sense of the city and we found out about some really cool bars (and food recommendations!) that we used throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

We had such a fun experience! We got to check out some really cool hidden gems with great drink prices and even explored spots I’ve never been to before. Our tour guide, Johnathan, really made the night. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the area and kept the energy up the whole time. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re looking for a fun way to experience a different side of Vegas!

We had an amazing time with Jonathan. He knows the city inside and out and casually worked in answers to all our questions along with tons of interesting facts. Because we were the only ones on the tour, he picked up on our vibe and tweaked a few stops—making it feel personalized and super relaxed, like friends just hanging out. The highlight was discovering so many hidden bars and speakeasies we’d never have stumbled upon without him. Highly recommend!

Bars Unknown Las Vegas delivered one of the most unforgettable night we’ve ever had in the city—and the secret ingredient was our guide, Jonathan. If you’re looking for a bar experience that goes way beyond the typical Vegas outing, this is it. From the start, Jonathan set the tone with his warm personality, sharp wit, and incredible knowledge of the city’s underground cocktail scene. He doesn’t just take you to hidden gems—he tells you the story behind them. It felt like getting exclusive access to a side of Vegas most visitors never even hear about. Every stop on the tour was a wow moment. Unique speakeasies, creative cocktail menus, and spots with atmospheres so good you almost want to keep them secret. Whether it was a bar tucked behind an unmarked door or a lounge with a menu full of drinks you’ve never seen anywhere else, Jonathan knew just where to take us. He kept the entire experience fun, relaxed, and effortlessly engaging. You can tell he loves what he does, and that energy makes the night electric. His recommendations were spot-on, and he tailored the experience to the group so it always felt personal. If you want to explore Las Vegas in a way that’s fresh, exciting, and filled with the kind of insider knowledge only a true expert can provide, Bars Unknown with Jonathan is an absolute must! Bottom line: Incredible bars, amazing drinks, and a tour guide who turns the night into something unforgettable. Don’t think—just book it!

Better late than never. This was one of the best things we decided to book. Ended up being the only ones on the tour and Jonathon made it feel like old friends hanging out. 3 hours quickly turned into 5 hours and I would highly recommend anyone on the fence to book! He made us feel special bringing us to private sound checks and spending time in places that we enjoyed.

My sister and I met in Vegas and booked this tour due to great previous reviews. This was such a super fun night! Jonathan was so fun and so knowledgeable and took us to some really fun and cool places! He was a wonderful and awesome host, I highly recommend this tour, you will for sure have a blast!! Thanks Jonathan!

Jonathan was awesome! He really knows Vegas like the back of his hand, taking us to some fantastic places which we would have never found without local knowledge. Jonathan was a pleasure to be around, really funny guy and I would highly recommend this tour, you won't regret it. Thanks again Johnathan! P.S. You need to work on your British accent 😂

As locals we were looking for something different and the pub crawl was fantastic. With people from all over the USA we had a blast walking the strip and having drinks

We planned a trip to Vegas in June of 2025 specifically to go see Kenny Chesney at the Sphere. Because we decided to make it a 4 night stay we decided to book the Vegas Strip Unknown Bar Crawl with Jonathan Hernandez. We booked months in advance. We arrived in Vegas on a Monday night. The Bar Crawl was booked for the next day (Tues). Upon arrival in Vegas on Monday night my wife and I proceeded to over indulge a little bit at Aldean's Bar. As Tuesday arrived we were both feeling alot rough. So much so that my wife begged off drinking on that Tues on the day of the Bar Crawl. It didn't seem like that would be a big deal as Jonathan quite often has large crowds during his tour so we would just blend in. We arrived on time for the tour during 105F heat and lo and behold we were the only two booked that day for the tour. I thought this tour would be a train wreck and a waste of Jonathan's time. I was actually surprised that he would entertain just two of us. But here we were. From there all I can say is it turned into one of the most enjoyable evenings of our visit to Vegas. It started out slow. I did decide to get involved in the bar crawl by partaking in the drinking aspect of it. Jonathan started taking us on this bar crawl adventure hitting so many interesting and cool out of the way establishments. We had his undivided attention so we chatted constantly. What started out as an awkward tour with just 3 of us (one of which wasn't drinking at all) wound up being an evening for the ages. It didn't take long for it to NOT feel like a tour. It was just like a night with 3 good friends hitting multiple places for some cool beverages. While my wife was drinking mostly water I was indulging right along with Jonathan. I would buy him some drinks and he would reciprocate here and there. Jonathan was a perfect tour guide. Can't say enough good things about him. He showed us so many places to get great drink and food deals and we shared many laughs and some great beverages along the way. A few stood out to us. I recommend the frozen baileys from O'Sheas, the atmosphere at Ole Red, the ambience of the hidden ski lodge bar at Cosmopolitan (so freaking cool), good beer and pizza deals along the way. So many places to speak highly of that Jonathan showed us. Even one that was hidden thru an exit door in Cosmo that only holds 27 patrons. Not sure I could find it again lol. The Fuel Bar was one of the best stops. Always 2 for 1 drinks. Just a small place with an amazing atmosphere seemingly always full of patrons. It gets loud and it's common that you just end up talking to everyone in there. There's a small cup hung up on the wall that you can pay 5$ for 5 shots with a rubber ball that barely fits in the cup. Jonathan bought me 5 shots at the hoop which not too many people manage success with. If anyone makes that shot the bartenders go around the inside of the bar with a bottle of some sort of liquor and just pour shots into the mouths of every patron who is in the bar. 2nd shot at the hoop and I sunk it. So everyone got a shot, even my wife. I could go on and on about the evening with Jonathan. We sampled lots along the way. A couple of the places we just went in and looked. Couldn't drink at all of them lol. By the time we reached the end of the tour we blew wayyyyy past the 3 hours. We ended at Brew Dog which is very very spacious inside as well as outside on the roof. We sat out on the roof and had a final beer together before calling it a night. What a night, what a tour guide. Because I had paid for some of Jonathan's drinks along the way he handed me back the tip I gave him at the end. A great gesture on his part but I made him keep it because he was amazing and we stole him away from about 4 pm til 10pm that day. Like I said before, it was just like 3 good friends just hanging out. 10 out of 10 rating for this tour. Major Kudos to Jonathan. I'm coming back to Vegas in September for the Eagles and Jonathan told me if I'm ever looking for any of the places he showed us and can't find him to just get a hold of him and he'll steer me in the right direction. I'm hoping he might consider joining me for some more laughs.

Jonathan is a great tour guide. He knows about the history of the city and fun-facts as well. I would highly recommend the tour!! And if I come back to LV with friends, will do it again.
