Atomic Liquors

Atomic Liquors in Las Vegas is the city’s oldest freestanding bar and has a unique and quirky history. Opened in 1952, it got its name because patrons used to climb onto the roof to watch atomic bomb tests in the nearby Nevada desert while sipping their drinks. This was during the era when atomic tests were a public spectacle, and the bar capitalized on the fascination with atomic energy.

The bar has hosted numerous famous patrons over the years, including the Rat Pack and Barbra Streisand. Today, Atomic Liquors maintains its vintage charm and continues to be a beloved local hangout with a rich, storied past.
