T-Bones Chophouse

Cocktail Menu: The cocktail menu is somewhat limited but enough variety to find something you would like. The martini with blue cheese stuffed olives are a must-try for anyone who appreciates a good martini. These delicious cocktails perfectly complement the upscale ambiance of T-Bones Chophouse and Lounge.

Food Menu: I tried the happy hour tuna tacos, and they were fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and a perfect light bite to pair with a cocktail.

Exclusive Happy Hour Menu: Many items on the happy hour menu are not available on the regular dinner menu, adding a unique touch to the early evening experience.

Timing: Arriving before 4:30 PM is key to securing a good spot and enjoying the Happy Hour experience before the evening rush begins.

Casino Comps and Points: It’s a bonus that T-Bones accepts comps and points from the casino, making it a great spot for regulars of Red Rock Resort.

Service and Ambiance: The bar is staffed entirely by an all-female team who provide friendly service. Real cloth napkins add a touch of class to the experience.

Non-Happy Hour Menu: If you’re looking for the full dining experience, the complete menu becomes available at 5 PM.

Areas for Improvement:

• Setup Interruptions: The transition period before 5 PM can be a bit distracting, as employees prepare the space for evening service. This can impact the ambiance and service speed during Happy Hour.
• Limited Happy Hour Cocktails: The cocktail selection for Happy Hour is somewhat limited. Expanding this list could enhance the experience.
• Service Speed: Due to the setup activities, service can be a bit slow and distracted until about 4:30 PM. It took some time for us to order food after our cocktails arrived, which might be an area they could improve.

Personal Experience:

I had a pleasant interaction with Elise, one of the bartenders. She was attentive and friendly, even though it was clear she had a lot to manage with the setup for the evening. A little patience goes a long way here—treat the bartenders with the respect and understanding you’d want if you were in their shoes.

Final Thoughts:

T-Bones Chophouse and Lounge offers a refined Happy Hour experience with some excellent highlights, particularly the martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and the warm service. The exclusive Happy Hour menu items like the tuna tacos make it worth visiting early. However, being aware of the setup activities and timing your visit can make a big difference. Arrive early, relax, and enjoy the classy environment with a touch of patience for the best experience.
