The 2 bartenders on the left are really mean and tired. As well as don’t pay attention to the orders. See us approach and Ignore and serve someone else. Then the one on the right gave me an attitude and told me to wait. The one on the left didn’t feel welcoming and made it seem like he is doing us a favor by serving us.Just to clarify the server on the right didn’t serve us.

This casino has a trend and it’s the lack of stars anymore. Service is extremely lacking at this establishment.

Cute little bar with great drinks and a row of slots. They've got a variety of video poker, keno, and miscellaneous slots. The bartenders serve a great drink and are welcoming. Stop by Gem Bar for a good time!

Dirty. The later it gets at night the more downhill it goes. Service is bad, place is very dirty, piles of dirty glasses on tables. Used napkins on the floors, tables and counters. Surfaces never get wiped down. Basically a dirty dirty bar. We got served an expensive cocktail in a dirty sticky glass. Shiny environment, zero substance. Especially for the money they charge. Just dirty

I've been to many bars in the strip, and this bar was far below the average.The bartenders, especially the elder ones are extremely unfriendly and rude. I do not understand why MGM even hire these people and pay them good amount of money! (I know that bartenders at hotel casinos earn a lot)Even though I love staying Aria, I try to avoid this bar.+I was welcomed by Frenchy today and he was very attentive and nice!

An older bartender with longish hair seemed to go out of his way to make me feel uncomfortable. It was not busy. He watched me come right up to the bar and we made eye contact, but he continued to stand still doing nothing instead of taking my order. When he finally came over and I placed my order, he carded me. This seemed really odd because I have obviously gray hair. Whatever, I gave him my ID and paid (and tipped) and left. I think the weird treatment was because I was wearing a mask? A customer sitting at the bar asked me why I was wearing it. I get it, almost nobody is wearing a mask in Las Vegas these days. But any polite, paying customer deserves normal service, mask or no.

I was really looking forward and excited about trying the pistachio martini this bar has been marketing on YouTube and other social media platforms. Husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and made this our after dinner plan. We get to the bar, we sit down and start playing at the poker machine while waiting to be served. Older man with long hair comes by after a few minutes, throws napkin down, never speaks to us, and walks away. He NEVER came back, and after 20 minutes we decided to leave. So disappointed. Now having read other reviews, it seems this person is the common denominator when folks have had a negative experience at this bar. Aria also is not giving me a reason to come back to their casino.
I checked out the Gem Bar at Aria Resort & Casino in Vegas and it was awesome. The vibe is chill and fancy, with a wide selection of signature cocktails. The bartenders are friendly and know their stuff. The bar food is also delicious. Highly recommend it for a fancy night out in Vegas.

The Gem Bar is a small bar, with only around 10 bar stools. You can order a beer, gamble using the screen and the staff will comp your drink

Complete change of energy. Been coming to this bar for years. Service is no longer existent. Drinks are watered down. Take your $20 for a drink somewhere else

I really wanted to try this bar, but there are only a few seats, mostly taken up by gamblers playing the games embedded in the bartop. My friend and I walked past on our first go, then circled back around and finally got an opportunity. The bartenders were flirty and fun--the chilled dirty martini one of them made was superb. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but it seems like old fashioneds are popular here, so I'll have to try that next time I'm in this casino.
