Description

Hey everyone, I'm Jonathan & I enjoy the off-the-beaten-path bars & good deals! I developed this bar-crawl to counter the stereo-typical party-bus nightclub-crawl where you're herded on a bus with 50+ amateurs being served "free seltzers" and cheap vodka drinks. This is a walking experience to the lesser-known hidden gems, the ones most tourist miss if venturing alone. I've done bar-crawls around the world and most are 3 or 4 spots only, you wait to get in, wait to sit, wait long for overpriced mediocre drinks & they're not really special or hidden. This is a mix of several bars. Some are cheap, some have happy hours, some are divey or hidden spots that most people walk right by. Drinks not included which means you can budget what you wanna spend & decide what you want to drink rather than being forced a specific menu and price. All the bars are walking distance. Some are to-go spots, some we can sit & relax. The goal is to have fun & introduce you to something unknown!

Itinerary

The Las Vegas Strip
60 min

First 3-5 spots are your cheap drink spots. Meetup spot is a to-go situation. Yes we can walk and drink in piblic. First two bars are the last little dive bars on the Strip with $2-$5 beers, $4 mixed drinks, and cheap but good food. Last of Vegas dive bar history. We'll also pass by other happy hours spots with low prices like $7 frozen drinks, $6 drinks, $5 beer. Third spot is one of the funniest bars everyone loves. Close quarters, tight knit, flair bartenders, you can meet anyone here and its buy one get one. This is when things really get going!

The Las Vegas Strip
120 min

Next 3 bars are speakeasies. Some will be open or closed, depending on day and time you book. One is a 19th century bar with live music, hiding behind a vintage barbershop. Another is a hidden tequila and nachos bar under an exit sign. Third is a hidden winter wonderland. Lastly, we'll end at a rooftop but most don't make it to the end!

What's included

Licensed, Certified & Insured Guide & Experience Host
Not included
Total Tab Freedom: Skip overpriced, watered-down party buses. Save cash with drink deals early on, then choose premium custom cocktails at hidden speakeasies. Spend exactly what you want.
This is a 100% authentic walking crawl (mostly indoors) utilizing resort shortcuts. No slow party buses or traffic jams.
Drinks not included - after taes and commissions, I only get like hafl the money you pay and I have to buy my own drinks. Most tours I lose money.

See another side of Vegas

Jonathan went above and beyond to show us another side of Vegas. We went to bars and speakeasies that I didn't know existed. He was very knowledgeable, personable and ready to pivot his tour to appeal to our tastes/requests. Lots of great recommendations for good cheap eats and drinks, as well as higher end restaurants/bars. This is a must do tour for those who want a unique experience on and off the strip.

Fantastic tour!

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...

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!

Incredible, laid‑back tour with hidden gems

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!

Operator response

Ya, you guys were alright. Have a cheese infused snowball for me!

The Best Hidden-Bar Experience in Vegas, Thanks to Jonathan!

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!

Book now!

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.

Operator response
