Best Espresso Martini I’ve Ever Had — And They Do NOT Skimp on the Alcohol!
Juliet Cocktail Room inside The Venetian was one of my favorite cocktail stops in Las Vegas. If you love a great espresso martini, GO HERE.
I ordered an espresso martini and can easily say it was the best espresso martini I have ever had. It was absolutely beautiful when it arrived—the thick, creamy foam on top, coffee beans for garnish, and that perfect dark espresso layer underneath. But it wasn't just pretty. The flavor was fantastic: rich, smooth, creamy and coffee-forward without being overly sweet.
And fair warning: this is a STRONG cocktail! 😂 They definitely do not skimp on the alcohol. You could taste that it was a properly made, full-strength drink, but it was still incredibly smooth and balanced. That's not always easy to pull off with an espresso martini.
The atmosphere at Juliet is another reason I'd recommend it. It has a dark, sophisticated, sexy lounge feel that is a completely different experience from sitting at a typical casino bar. The décor is upscale and intimate, the illuminated bar is gorgeous, and it feels like somewhere you actually want to sit, relax and enjoy your drink rather than just grab a cocktail and leave.
Juliet is located right on The Venetian casino floor between CHICA and Noodle Asia, so it's also incredibly convenient if you're staying at The Venetian or Palazzo. They have a full craft cocktail program and live entertainment, and the lounge transitions into more of a nightlife atmosphere later in the evening.
Like most upscale cocktail lounges on the Las Vegas Strip, the drinks aren't cheap—but this was one cocktail I felt was worth it. When I'm paying Vegas prices, I want something memorable, well-made and strong enough that I don't feel like I'm paying for a glass of mixer. Juliet delivered.
