It’s been a busy few months at Binion’s Gambling Hall.<\/p>\n

In July 2019, the downtown casino opened (technically re-opened) the historic Hotel Apache<\/a>, with a modest 81 old-timey rooms. The original Hotel Apache opened in 1932.<\/p>\n

Now, Binion’s has opened a new restaurant, bar and nightlife venue, Whiskey Licker Up. And, no, we honestly never thought we’d use the words “Binion’s” and “nightlife” in the same sentence.<\/p>\n

\"Whiskey
Yes, it’s open during the day, too, but “nightlife” just sounds sexier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whiskey Licker Up officially opened on Sep. 30, 2019, with some perfunctory hoopla, which is the best kind of hoopla in our humble opinion.<\/p>\n

Where to begin? With the bar, naturally! Do you know this blog at all?<\/p>\n

The centerpiece of Whiskey Licker Up is a sweet revolving bar. It was inspired by Carousel Bar, a hot spot in the French Quarter in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

You’re familiar with New Orleans. It’s like Las Vegas, but stickier.<\/p>\n

\"Whiskey
Our newest happy place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The revolving bar has variable speeds and rotates counter-clockwise. We talked to an engineer who said bars that rotate clockwise can cause people to feel woozy. We honestly have no idea what difference that would make, but we are a blog, not an engineer.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the revolving bar during construction.<\/p>\n

\"Whiskey
Heavy drinking precludes us from sharing any fun facts about the revolving bar, sorry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The bar takes 15 minutes for a complete revolution.<\/p>\n

Here’s a badass time lapse video of the revolving bar at Whiskey Licker Up.<\/p>\n
