You MUST VISIT the DISPENSARY LOUNGE!!
For 11 years straight I’ve been visiting Vegas for each birthday, so when we were coming up with ideas what to do on my actual birthday night I made the comment that it would be fun to go to a Jazz music club. Since we have none back home. And since I’m taking piano lessons and getting into jazz music.
My fiancé did the research and all her findings suggested the Dispensary Lounge. Upon arriving to Vegas we also heard from others about the same.
This place did not disappoint!!
The music started at 10:00 and we arrived around 9:45 to easily get a couple seats on stage, able to watch the fantastic facial expressions of the artists and also their magnificent dexterity within their instruments.
Since we arrived early we had an opportunity to chat with others close by. The vibe was so welcoming because everyone was so friendly & loving to talk to. It was finally fun to sit next to lovers of Jazz music and to all connect.
When the music started Toscha at vocals stole the show! I couldn’t imagine someone could sing that beautifully and I couldn’t imagine someone as myself could be sitting that up close for it all.
The band members were also amazing to watch & listen to. I was happy to be sitting where I was to be able to watch Uli’s fingers on the keys. It was pretty mesmerizing. Along with the other band members as well because admittingly I’ve never given a bass player my full attention before and it was great to be up that close to watch them play.
Towards the end of the night there also came out a jazz flute, sax & trumpet. And it didn’t really even seemed planned. It just felt like all the best jazz musicians were all good friends and wanted to play together for the joy of just playing together.
And on that “note,” I think the best way to discribe how amazing it was was by seeing how enjoyable it was for the band. Toscha always had a joyful smile as she sang, Uli & the bassist kept sharing communicating smiles back and forth and Angelo the drummer had his eyes closed the entire time he was playing and you felt as though he was being lifted up to heaven.
And so I can tell you for my birthday night in Vegas this was absolutely the best choice ever! The trip was complete after coming to the Dispensary Lounge. We will definitely be coming back each trip.
Aside from the music, John at the bar was cool and down to earth when we called ahead of time to ask a few questions. Our servers Jasmin & Subrina were awesome too, I never felt like I had to wait for them to ask if I wanted another drink. They were very attentive. The food was also very good as we had the hash skins and it was very filling.

Read moreWent for the first time, been wanting to try this place for awhile now. It’s a nice place with a cozy relaxed atmosphere, and a small stage with a decent set up for what I have read is for live Jazz (Really enjoy good Jazz). I had the patty melt with potato salad and my friend had the steak sandwich with a free upgrade to waffle fries since there out of straight cut at the time and a house beers called 86 or 89 or 72 something like that. The service was good, Server made some good menu suggestions gave us a bit of history and info on the owners of the bar, and over all service and food was good. The killer of this review and reason me and my friend will never go back in the forced 20% tip on a 2-party check. I will call it like it is a call out the owners for being petty and cheap. If you cannot run your business without paying your employees a wage that does not relay on forced tips then maby it’s time to go ahead and retire sell your place to some Mexa CAN! and have them turn it in to just another generic taco shop one of hundreds in the area. Add to the fact the forced tip was not agreed to or even talked about to at the start of my order, the forced tip was only told to us when the server gave us the check after running my CC. So, I felt cheated and scammed. I had a tip amount already decided on before I got my check was going to be 10 bucks. But after learning of the forced tip which came to about $8.60, I just left it and did not say anything, But I can guarantee I nor my friend will be back to that place and to the old people that own this place just make it easy and get out of food and drink business, if this is the only way yall people are able to stay in business. The tipping culture in the country is getting out of hand. A tip is something you should never expect and it’s not...

Besides the good tasty drinks at a very reasonable price, the showcase is the burgers! Many people on Several Las Vegas food pages on social media., Have literally said “best burgers in La Las Vegas!” I don’t claim to be a burger expert, but I will undeniably agree that these are the very best burgers in Las Vegas! There are different variance of burgers offered on the menu and Dan or CARL will produce a masterpiece! Literally! Presentation is always paramount when they bring it to your table. They will present you with a copious amount of condiments! The actual burgers themselves have a very unique flavor. There are so many seasonings in their burger that I cannot pinpoint even one specific flavor. The creation that they have come up with in that kitchen should be regarded as a secret forever. It deserves the title of “best burgers in Las Vegas!” Every time, friends and family come to town, literally this is the first place they want to go to before enjoying the rest of their vacation while here. Many times they want to come back here to wrap up their vacation. There’s a reason why people keep coming back.
