I had the same experience as Jennifer Throndsen. Bar tenders don’t pour what you order if you prefer to go anything above low shelf liquor. Don’t come here.

Same as Jennifer Throndsen. I ordered a $26 drink and clearly didn’t get what I ordered. Stay away from this place unless you want to pay for expensive drinks and get low quality swill.

Went to have a cocktail during a volleyball game break—first of the day at 7 o’clock in the evening. My father who has been drinking 12 year old Macallan for 20 years ordered a double. What they brought was not Macallan. So, we called over the waitress and let her know. She came back with the bottle and said look we poured it out of here. So my dad said we’ll go ahead and pour it in front of me, which she couldn’t as she wasn’t the bartender. They went up to the bar where the bartender chastised my father for wasting good liquor. The person who deserved the shame was the bartender for trying to pull one over on us as my dad certainly knows what Macallan tastes like given he drinks it everyday. Be sure if you go here you know what you’re ordering as they’ll likely lie to you, too.

Crystal is awesome

Waited 30 minutes before the server noticed (who passed us several times) even bothered to ask if my wife and I were OK. Ordered a Manhattan (made completely wrong) and a bottled beer because the taps were out of order. After sitting for an hour, we finally received our drinks. They "remade" my wife's drink (poured out the ice and put back into a plastic cup). Incredibly disappointed by the awful service and will not be back. The chairs are comfortable and that's about the only good part. Even our table was dirty.

Maria is so awesome! Working the full floor and kicking butt! Very busy two nights in a row and she was still so kind and has a smile on her face!

Have liked this bar in the past couple years but, service on my last couple visits has gone down hill. On my previous visit this year the bar top was dirty and sticky. The bartender was less than friendly. On my last visit, again no improvement. It is a shame that a nice music venue is going down hill. My recommendation is there are better options in the area.

I would give this two stars if based solely on wait staff at bar or tables, but the music is always great so I added an extra star. I have to say many of the reviews are spot on as rude bartenders and no one coming by at tables. Had to order at bar, and bartender was rude and would not honor a MYVegas voucher with the proper drink. He only said a well drink was available, which are free if gaming. Bartenders used to be really friendly here. Nice space and music, but will have to wait to get a drink.

A great place to unwind from the usual LV gaming and enjoy a cocktail and live music. The talent was great all three nights we were at Mandalay Bay.
Although the ambiance and music were good, the service left much to be desired. When I asked the bartender is there was a server in the seating area, he gave me a bit of an attitude. I told him that I didn't want to take dollars away from the wait staff by ordering from the bar then sitting in the lounge. He said he'll call someone. When the server arrived she greeted me with a brief tude. However, after tipping her, she was surprised and then smiled. That's the smile I was hoping for upon greeting me. Hopefully she greets the next person with that same smile. It was beautiful.

This lounge has live music on select nights. This was a Friday night so a band was playing. Weeknights you might just see a solo guitarist. Music performers appear to change nightly. There’s a bar and lounge area where you can also smoke. There’s a small dance floor as well.

No menu and no price list for drinks. When I asked the bar tender what the prices were, he gave me a much lower $ than was reflected on the bill! The service was awful ? and I still can't believe they expect you to order drinks not knowing the prices or even what type of wine you are getting.

They have great FREE live music most nites late. Flavia is an excellent server! She remembers her customers from one nite 2 another. Tip ur servers people! Live music society is AWESOME! R fav band there, but there r other really good bands that play there. Great spot for late nite music and drinks. Rob is a fantastic sound guy. One of r fav late nite spots.
