Clique Bar & Lounge at Cosmopolitan reopens August 29, 2025.
Crap. That’s pretty much the story. Now, what?
Cue the cutting and pasting from the news release because if we post a story with just one or two sentences, we will not only be jettisoned from Casino.org, our longtime fans will take to the streets with pitchforks, tar and feathers.
Tarring and feathering isn’t as popular as it once was, despite the fact more people are deserving of this punishment than ever before.
For our fellow youths, tarring and feathering is a form of public humiliation and punishment that dates back to the Middle Ages in Europe. It involved pouring hot tar over a person’s body and then covering them with feathers. The combination made the victim both physically uncomfortable and a subject of ridicule.
It is no longer appropriate to talk about tarring and feathering, mostly because it is considered hurtful to birds.
Anyway, Clique Bar & Lounge has been closed since April 2025.
Here’s a quick blurb about what’s coming up at Clique lounge: “A fusion of old Hollywood glam and modern indulgence, Clique’s new interior is bathed in copper and amber tones with luminous gold accents. Lush banquettes and private nooks welcome intimate gatherings, while an open floor plan invites conversation and dancing. Designed by the team at Petermax Co., the Clique reinvention is equal parts chic cocktail lounge and electric social haven. The reinvention doesn’t stop with the décor. Clique’s nightlife experience will come alive with a roster of DJs spinning every weekend, delivering a hip party soundtrack for the Strip’s most stylish crowd.”
If there’s one thing lacking on the Las Vegas Strip right now, it’s electric social havens.
We say this all the time. Twitter followers: “Where are all the Canadians?” Us: “Why would they visit Las Vegas with the lack of electric social havens?” Twitter followers: “You make a great point and also something about the fact you’re a lib and wear mom jeans.”
Clique Hospitality didn’t provide a rendering or photo of the lounge’s new look, but nobody’s perfect.
The walls are down, so just poke your camera through the curtains.
Here’s a closer look at the new logo because we are bored and A.I. can do miraculous things.
Beyond the new decor, Clique Bar & Lounge (in that order) has whipped up a new cocktail menu, of course.
The menu will include “Open Sesame, made with Patrón Reposado, Orgeat, lime, chocolate bitters and sesame; the Mango Sunfire, made with Skyy Spicy Mango Vodka, tamarind, ginger, lemon, lime and lemonade; and the Mishima Sunset, made with Suntory Toki Japanese Whiskey, grapefruit, lemon, hibiscus, yuzu and egg white; each priced at $22.”
On the food side: “New to the food menu are the damn good meatballs, made with a blend of wagyu beef and Ibérico pork, topped with bone marrow tomato sauce and served alongside basil pesto breadsticks; mini Maine lobster rolls served in butter griddle brioche buns and topped with fresh lemon; and The Dancing Monkey, a dessert of banana donut holes, topped with peanut butter creme anglaise and chocolate cognac sauce; among others.”
Fans of Clique will be happy to hear their signature food items will be back, including lollipop chicken wings, bang bang shrimp, flame-grilled wagyu sliders and deep-fried Oreos. Finally, something we actually know about. They slap, or are possibly fleek.
Clique Bar & Lounge will be open Monday through Friday at 4:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
That’s right, 10:00 a.m. Because in Las Vegas, day drinking is just drinking.
Learn more at the official Clique Bar & Lounge Web site, which features the new logo, so our “exclusive” possibly isn’t as exclusive as we believed earlier in this story, but whatever.
