Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge

Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge at Town Square might not be the easiest place to find, tucked among other businesses, but it’s definitely worth seeking out. The website boasts the best wine and whiskey selection in Vegas, and while that may be true, we’re here to focus on their Happy Hour, which is equally impressive.

Running daily, the Happy Hour menu offers incredible deals for being so close to the Strip. Their selection of specialty cocktails is wide and varied, and I opted for the Double Helix Mule, a delightful twist on the classic cocktail that hit all the right notes. They also feature a whiskey of the month and Silver State Blonde Ale, giving you options that cater to whiskey lovers and craft beer enthusiasts alike.

On the food side, the Happy Hour menu features sharable plates and Chef’s Specials. I tried the Crispy Tacos, which were more like mini taquitos—adorable and perfectly bite-sized. They were crunchy and flavorful, a great snack to pair with a drink. A fun feature is their Tacos and Tequila special, exclusively for those sitting on the patio, making it a tempting option for an outdoor happy hour experience.

One of the best parts about Double Helix is the atmosphere. While it competes with the bustling Yard House right next door, Double Helix offers a more quaint, intimate ambiance. The staff here can take their time to help you select the perfect drink or dish, adding a personal touch that’s sometimes hard to find in busier venues.

Though it may not have the crowds that some of its neighbors pull in, that’s part of the charm. You can relax, savor your drink, and enjoy a peaceful experience. I recommend checking out their website to see the full range of offerings and heading over with a mission in mind—whether it’s whiskey, wine, or those irresistible patio tacos.

For those looking for a more relaxed, personable happy hour in Town Square, Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge is a must-visit.
