The thing I like about NobHill Tavern is its late-nite happy hour menu. I'm one of those people who like to eat late: I don't usually get off work til after 10pm, and by then almost all the restaurants on the Strip have closed for the night. Mostly, your choices at that hour are coffee shops, which are fine, but... what if you want to nosh on something a little swankier? NobHill Tavern is a stylish little spot with a late nite happy hour menu from 10-midnight, with drink specials and appetizers/small plates for just $8 apiece. The apps include comfort food selections with a fancy Michael Mina twist, like lobster rolls, pork sliders, spare ribs and beer-battered shrimp. It's good late-night, stick-to-your-tibs-type fare that's great for either soaking up all those cocktails you just guzzled at regular happy hour, or for laying down a good base for all the cocktails you're ABOUT to drink at the nightclub. I also really like the ambiance here: the lounge area (which serves the happy hour menu) is retro-swanky, with textured glass booths and a real Mad-Men vibe. It's the perfect place to have a drink or three and some old-school cocktails: retro favorites like the Moscow Mule and the Sidecar are on the happy hour menu, and make the perfect accompaniment to those sliders and lobster rolls. In fact, if you're into the whole Mad Men vibe, I recommend starting out with drinks over at the fabulously retro West Wing Bar, then heading down the hallway to NobHill for more drinks and apps. The one thing I wish they had at NobHill (and West Wing Bar, too, for that matter) is a little jazz trio or something playing in the lounge. I'm a big fan of hanging out in lounges to booze & talk, but it seems like most lounges in Vegas these days are so LOUD that you can't carry on a conversation. A little jazz would be just the thing to complement the swanky vibe at NobHill and make it an even better place to hang out in the later half of the evening, while you either wind down or get revved up for the night ahead. P.S. I have also had occasion to try NobHill's Kobe burger, which is not on the happy hour menu...but is freaking DELICIOUS and also highly recommended!
