Dom DeMarco’s Pizzeria & Wine Bar boldly claims to have the best happy hour in Las Vegas—a statement they display prominently on their building and website. And while I take that as a challenge to find one better someday, they may not be wrong! Located on the west side of town, this local favorite is well worth the trip for any visitor in search of quality pizza, good wine, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Inspired by the legendary Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn and pizza aficionado Albert Scalleat, Dom DeMarco’s brings a slice of New York to Vegas. The place exudes a casual yet cozy vibe, with a tiny bar that seats only six. However, there are plenty of high-top tables and a spacious outdoor patio, giving it a laid-back neighborhood feel. While the bar itself may be small, the service is attentive and the atmosphere inviting.

The happy hour runs from 2 PM to 6 PM, with half-off pizzas from 2 PM to 4 PM, and half-off wines, well cocktails, and select wines by the bottle until 6 PM. The drink menu is a standout—offering premium choices you rarely see discounted. I had the Justin Cabernet, a wine of exceptional quality that’s a rare find on any happy hour list.

The $11 menu features delicious offerings, and of course, I couldn’t resist trying their most popular pizza: the DiFara Special. This 12-inch pie is a true masterpiece. The cheese was long and stringy, a sure sign of top-quality ingredients, while the pepperonis were fresh and flavorful, standing out with every bite.

My bar seat neighbor had the eggplant ricotta pictured here.

The attention to detail, such as wine glasses marked for 6-oz and 9-oz pours, ensures that guests feel they’re getting exactly what they’re paying for.

One of the charming aspects of Dom DeMarco’s is its New York roots. The restaurant is licensed under the legendary DeFara name and NYC’s Domenico DeMarco, bringing an authentic slice of the Big Apple to the Las Vegas dining scene. With accolades like “Best New Pizzeria” and “Best Casual Restaurant” from local foodie sites, it’s clear that this place has earned its reputation.

In summary, Dom DeMarco’s Pizzeria & Wine Bar lives up to its bold claim of being one of the best happy hour spots in town. Whether you’re there for the half-price wine or their signature NY-style pizza, you’re in for a treat. It’s a must-visit for locals and tourists alike, and I’ll certainly be back to enjoy more of their top-tier offerings.

If you’re looking for a charming spot to unwind after a day of shopping or work, Fine Company’s “Fine Time” Happy Hour is a delightful choice. Nestled at the north end of Downtown Summerlin mall, this quaint venue offers a cozy atmosphere perfect for relaxing and people-watching.

Charming Atmosphere

Despite not having a traditional bar, Fine Company features a communal seating area with 12 seats, surrounded by wrap-around windows that let in plenty of natural light. The outdoor patio is a prime location, offering a great view of the mall’s hustle and bustle, making it an ideal spot for people-watching. The interior is thoughtfully designed with tables for two, four, and booths for six, creating a comfortable and inviting space for various group sizes.

Whimsical Bird Theme

The bird-themed happy hour, where items marked with a bird icon on the menu are available at special prices, adds a whimsical touch. During “Fine Time,” which runs from Monday to Friday, 2 pm to 5 pm, you can enjoy all bird-marked drinks for just $5 and half-priced food items. This creative theme adds an element of fun and discovery as you explore the menu.

Delicious Drinks and Food

I had the pleasure of trying the Summer Linen and Panda Bear cocktails. Both were delightful, but the Summer Linen stood out with its refreshing flavors, making it a steal at $5 compared to the regular $12 price. For food, I sampled the Tuna Sandwich, which was generously portioned with fresh ingredients and toasted bread, and the Mom’s Banana Bread, which was unexpectedly delicious and possibly the best I’ve ever had.

Energetic and Attentive Staff

The staff at Fine Company are young, energetic, and eager to please. Despite a brief mix-up where my Tuna Sandwich was delivered to another table, they quickly rectified the mistake, apologizing and offering complimentary Banana Bread along with my corrected order. Their prompt and courteous handling of the situation was commendable and showcased their commitment to excellent service. Mistakes happen in life, and it’s not the mistakes we make that identify who we are, it’s how we respond to our mistakes that makes us. The staff did an outstanding job rectifying the mistake, and I commended them for their commitment to excellence.

Comfortable Seating Options

The indoor seating includes tables for two, four, and booths for six, along with the 12-seat communal table. The outdoor area is equally inviting with plenty of tables for four. Whether you’re dining solo, with a partner, or in a group, there’s a perfect spot for you at Fine Company. The bill, presented in a cute wooden holder, was pleasantly surprising – two cocktails and a large Tuna Sandwich with a side salad came in under $20.

Final Thoughts

Fine Company is a fantastic spot for a date or a casual outing in Downtown Summerlin. With its charming ambiance, excellent value, and attentive service, “Fine Time” at Fine Company is a happy hour experience you won’t want to miss. Highly recommended for couples and groups looking to enjoy a delightful evening in a beautiful setting.
