S Bar - Mandalay Bay

Stylish Social Spot Inside Mandalay Bay

Located inside the iconic Mandalay Bay Resort, S Bar brings a touch of modern sophistication to the Vegas Strip. This upscale gastro pub blends artful cocktails, shareable small plates, and a moody, high-style lounge atmosphere that's perfect for kicking off a night out. Designed by the creators of the renowned SLS brand, it’s a trendy hangout with plush seating, dim lighting, and sleek design details that attract a fashionable crowd.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just steps from Mandalay Bay’s concert venues and a short walk or rideshare from Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena, S Bar is a savvy pre-show pick. With quick service and a lively but not overwhelming ambiance, it’s ideal for grabbing a craft cocktail or small plate without missing the opening act. The music is upbeat without being too loud, so you can still chat with friends before showtime.

What People Say

Guests rave about the creative cocktails and “cool, loungey vibe” that feels just upscale enough for a Vegas night out. Many mention the friendly bartenders and how quickly they were seated, even on busy nights. The small plates—especially the sliders and flatbreads—get consistent praise for flavor and presentation. The décor and lighting also get top marks for setting a stylish, intimate tone.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the menu is on the pricey side for portion sizes, especially if you're really hungry. A few guests mentioned that it can get crowded on big event nights, so arriving early is wise. While there’s no listed dress code, the vibe here leans more smart-casual, so concert tees might feel slightly out of place depending on the crowd.

The Bottom Line

S Bar is a sleek, energetic pre-concert destination with stylish drinks, shareable plates, and a prime location for music lovers hitting the Las Vegas Strip.
