This is a very chill spot on Fremont, about a 5 minute walk from the Experience. Full bar, open atmosphere and good food. I got the steak frites and the steak was cooked perfectly! The drinks are bomb too! Dive bar vibes on the inside, but open-air kitchen on the outside. Highly suggest this place!

First of all, with a week after some of the world is open, the host was incredible. He was very informative professional & courteous. He asked if we could be patient, & went over some of the new rules that we all have to follow. It was very busy & yet social distancing was being practiced & enforced. To be honest, I'm not so sure I care that much, nevertheless it was nice to see they were doing a fine job. We were seated about 15 minutes after checking in & sat down with an incredible lady Devin (with an i). She was fun, informative, & very sweet. As for me, it was my first time at Atomic since I moved here two years ago & I can assure you it won't be my last. The drinks were delicious & the food was tasty. My beyond burger was so good I actually stopped & almost got upset because it tasted like real meat. Lol. It wasn't. Thanks Atomic, Door Host, & Devin with an i. Appreciate you all! Keep it up.

This is a hidden gem, seriously it is kind of hidden. Our group had just finished the safety brief for the Mint 400 race in the llama lot and we were looking to grab a bite before bed - Of course I took to Yelp to find the perfect spot. It doesn't look like much from the outside, in fact you think your going to a liquor store...and then there it is! There is a great outdoor seating area, but it was a little chilly the night we were there so we opted for indoors. Our server was attentive and gave us some great notes on appetizers and entrées. Drinks were a little slow but when they finally made it to the table they were perfect. No one had any complaints about their food, I had the steak and it was seasoned and cooked perfectly! I would have never thought I'd find a meal like this, in a location like this, but if you find yourself in the llama lot, like I did, check out the Kitchen at Atomic

Atomic Kitchen I visited the "Zagat" website to see if any new or interesting restaurants may have opened recently. I was surprised that Atomic Liquor opened "The Kitchen at Atomic". The Zagat website offers an image of the restaurant interior. It is accurate, and better than one that I can offer. (I am providing an exterior image.) It's a sizable dining room. There are a lot of hard surfaces, so I imagine the place can get noisy when filled. Seat placement is not packed too tightly; and while not plush, it is comfortable. There is outdoor seating, as well. A "sample" menu is available on the business's website. However, the menu apparently is subject to regular change--perhaps to prevent the menu from being too predictable, and provide regulars a reason to come in more often. For my meal, I had one of the evening's specials: Tagliatelle; braised pork shoulder ragu, Pomodoro, Parmesan Reggiano ($20). It was an a la carte main course--no sides. Perception of portion size is subjective, but for my purposes, it was "just right". However, if you are dining as a group, I can see how the serving size will encourage the purchase of add-ons--such as salads or appetizers. The pasta was prepared very well--al dente. The sauce was prepared from scratch; it was a bit tart, versus sweet. The protein content was adequate--more to accentuate the dish, rather than be a featured ingredient. All in all, a very good dish, presented well. With the kitchen running so well, I was surprised how uneven the service was in the front of the house. I ate alone at the bar, and it wasn't too busy. It took a long while for the bartender to notice and acknowledge me. Service remained spotty after that. I took the opportunity to observe staff at work, and I began to wonder if service levels would fall if the restaurant had been busier. Atomic Liquor After dinner, I decided to have a drink at Atomic Liquor. I like the ambiance and the history. I like the available selection of craft beers. However, service was spotty here, too. Maybe I visited on an "off" night--so don't feel put off. The first meal I had was nice enough that I will make a follow-up visit. kitchenatatomic.vegas

Full Disclosure: I came here anticipating that this was the Atomic Liquors saloon of yore. Turns out, I wasn't far off, but the 'Kitchen' boasts a full dinner menu (which looks really decent) and a more upscale bar that still keeps things down to earth. I had the Gunslinger and it was delicious. The bartender said it was their most ordered cocktail, and I can see why. It's whiskey-forward, but the rest of the flavors blend so well. It doesn't come across as cloyingly sweet, but it does drink quite nicely. The flambeed orange zest was the perfect touch. If I come back here for dinner, I'll definitely update the review, but the food looked pretty solid. For a hipster-level bar scene without the pretentiousness, though, it wins major marks.

Had an excellent brunch at Kitchen at Atomic. Started with some great cocktails Not Your Average Joe and Foreign Kiss. If you like coffee based cocktails you have to try Not Your Average Joe. I loved it. We tried the Elote Hush Puppies to start and had Chicken Fried Steak and Breakfast Burrito for our mains. Food was wonderful. Service was great too. Can't wait to go back. Recently I saw from a friend on Insta that they had a Shrimp and Grits brunch special. Unfortunately I was out of town that weekend. Please bring that back and post when you do!

Came back here years later. Had the pork belly PB&J and the French Dip with french fries and the harissa carrots. Everything was sssooooo0o0o0o0oooooooo good. Pork belly + house-made peanut butter & strawberry jam + brussel sprout slaw + brioche bun = delicious delicious goodness. Be brave and get it. Still have a good soundtrack and amazingly inexpensive bottles of wine and good staff. Love that I could've swapped out the fries for any side (server even let me choose the delish harissa carrots as a side) for $2. Worth it, because the fries portion is huuuuuuuuge. Only qualm is about variety. Please add more desserts and cocktails. Lots of spirit forward cocktails with no tequila (one mezcal option, the Garden Mistress ....... d-e-l-i-c-i-o-us) or vodka options is not ideal! And only had two desserts, which was a pineapple tamale, a pear tart, and bread pudding. Also when we wanted another dipping sauce for the fries beside ketchup (like a ranch or anything else), only aioli was around which was still delicious.

Unexpected, upscale Brooklyn vibe in North Vegas (you'd never get that much space in Brooklyn). Spacious, modern, clean, comfortable, "open" kitchen concept, large bar, good seating... Although menu is limited, the food is great and portions are large. Brunch for five adults came out to $99. The Hushpuppies are highly recommended as an appetizer. Just too bad they don't have specialty coffee (cappuccino/latte etc). Mom was happy with her artisanal blueberry mimosa. Good to know before you visit: 21+ only!!! No kids allowed. The booths are 1-step elevated in a rather gray/black monochromatic color scheme. My 73 yr old dad took a nasty fall coming out of the booth - he didn't see and mis-stepped. So, if you have some elderly in your party, maybe request a regular table. Just a heads up.
