Hiding among Fremont East’s hip bar scene is this gem of a cocktail lounge, where you can perch on the patio or up on the roof to take in some Container Park people-watching and sip a well-crafted, memorable libation.

During the rest of the year, you’ll find the cool kids at the Downtown Container Park.

When it was built in 1962, Oasis at Gold Spike in downtown Las Vegas was a spot for guests to rest before venturing out into the bright lights of Fremont Street casinos.

After building a reputation in Los Angeles, Pinches Tacos now has two locations in Vegas -- one for the tourists at the Downtown Container Park and one for the locals at the Gramercy.

Located just a short walk from Fremont Street, the Downtown Container Park is a fun outdoor mall with bars, cafes, and cute little boutique shops.

Start your visit at the Container Park, an open-air venue where shipping containers are repurposed to house clothing boutiques, restaurants, bars, a wedding chapel and more.

Container Park’s Oak & Ivy may feel like one of those trendy speakeasies you’ve visited before — yes, your bartender will have on a bowtie and, yes, that is a TV sitting in the gold picture frame — but there’s nothing clichéd about its drinks.

In Downtown, on the other side of Las Vegas Boulevard from the freakishly touristy Fremont Street Experience (the Zoomline zipline is five blocks long) is Fremont East, several square blocks of small, hip restaurants, chic and quirky bars, public art and a grocery store.

With its nod to the ‘70s and Moscow Mules on tap (crafted with house-made ginger beer), Corduroy is the place to see and be seen.

By now, adult milkshakes are on just about every menu in Las Vegas, but Fiddlestix might be the first restaurant to serve a giant version.
