The booths towards the back, awash in the glow from pink and blue neon but still dark enough to really hide faces, remind me of the type you’d see on an old Miami Vice rerun, plopped down from the kind of lounge that narco-runners would be found making deals at on Miami Beach circa 1984.Īnd in truth, that’s actually happened here, sort of. The rest of the lounge is darker, more mysterious, perhaps a bit more dangerous. Especially in the winter, sitting here is warming and the flames are almost mesmerizing as they dance and shimmy in front of your drink. If you like intimate, sexy settings, this is the place to sit. It features a full restaurant on one side, and an intimate “fireside” lounge on the other.Īnd by “fireside” lounge they mean you sit next to a roaring fire. It was a helluva Christmas present to Sin City.
The Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge was opened on December 26, 1972. But if you’re looking for the bar that’s been around the longest, the place to go to is the Peppermill.
