Chandelier Review level 1.5 This review is for visits in August 2026. We frequent the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas a few times a year. Every visit, we go the iconic Chandelier Bar, specifically floor 1.5 Not only do we return for the excellent drinks, we go for the service. The Chandelier Bar has many employees who have been at Cosmo since its opening . They are some of the best bartenders & staff on the strip!They also have great management. We recently met Angela , one of the newer managers who is very friendly. She approached us to see how our drinks were, even when it was pretty busy at the bar. The Chandelier bar also refreshes their drink menu a couple of times every now and then while still keeping some of popular drinks on such as the Verbena cocktail, which is nice. They have three floors , and every menu is different than the other. We highly recommend the Espresso Old Fashioned, a combination of two popular drinks. The staff will also make anything to your liking , as long as ingredients allow. It’s definitely a can’t miss spot if you are staying at Cosmo, or just bar hopping on the strip. We love the staff and drinks here and can’t wait to go back!
We made a point of stopping by the Chandelier Bar at the Cosmopolitan specifically for the Verbena drink, and it delivered. The presentation is beautiful, and the drink itself is really well-balanced. I enjoyed the flavor both before and after eating the flower that comes with it. Chewing the flower gave a fun, minty-cold sensation in my mouth that was surprisingly refreshing and lingered nicely. The bar has a cool, upscale vibe with that signature chandelier ambiance that makes it feel special without being stuffy. Service was solid and the overall experience was enjoyable. We didn’t linger for multiple rounds, but it was exactly what we were looking for — a memorable cocktail moment in Vegas. Would recommend if you’re into creative, interactive drinks. Solid 4 stars!
Really cool atmosphere although heads up that Level 1.5 does not open until 5 pm. The only time we were able to stop in was on our first afternoon visiting and we sat on the top level which was very pretty as well but I was really hoping to get a more immersive experience. Roxette was great (and took great photos of our group!) and the cocktails were both tasty and pricey but standard for Vegas
This is a must stop if you’re staying at The Cosmopolitan. It’s boujie classy and expensive but the drinks are well worth it. There’s a secret menu if you’re nice or a regular but no matter what you order, the mixologists here will have something to satisfy your cocktail desire.
A MUST do in Las Vegas, just to say you did it. Located on 3 floors of the Cosmopolitan, you won't miss it. You gotta make a reservation, and DON'T BE LATE! $25 missed reservation charge. All the reddit threads will recommend the Verbena drink. We opted for the Sakura Blossom (pictured). We were seated on the 2nd floor, its a good place to just sit and enjoy a drink amongst the chandeliers.
