This is easily one of my favorite downtown spots in Las Vegas. In fact, it's just one of my favorite spots in Vegas to hang with friends for a few drinks.
The DCR is a low-key, darkly lit, comfortable seating kind of spot. They have a great list of interesting drinks, some based on some old school recipes, and some with some twisted up new flare to them, in addition to a pretty full bar. I am a fan of the Italian herbal 'Amaro' and as I can never find it in Vegas bars, but they have it always ready at the Downtown Cocktail Room. (I drink it on the rocks with a splash of soda and an orange if available.. give it a try)
I have been to this lounge on many, many occasions. Sometimes on a Monday night for a chill spot to hang with friends, and sometimes during the week (wednesday thru the weekend) for a some chill house music and live sets from Dj's like Carlos Sanchez.
It's in an unassuming location across from the Fremont Experience, and often goes un-noticed, but I believe that is part of the charm (keeps out some, but not all of the riff-raff.. which is how I like it). Others dig the trendier downtown bars, but the chill vibe of the DCR is what gets me every time!

The chicken wings were good enough, fried and battered, ok sauce. Crispy and I can see why people always say how awesome it is. Not overcooked, not over-battered.. just right. Basic, if you will.
The gizzards - were not good. I have grown up with a style or two of gizzard dishes ..and these were simply over cooked and not flavorful. Dry and seasoned sooo spicy that it wasn't enjoyable. I love spice, Korean spiced food and peppers in my food. These were not good at all. It was just little pieces of meat overcooked and overly seasoned to the point of nearly inedible.
As for the Bulgogi.. Ok Bulgogi is marinated meats, beef usually in my experience.. and often has a nice flavorful finish of sesame and a bit of black pepper. It's usually a crowd-pleas'r. Good and flavorful, marinated and then grilled is usually the setup. This particular version we had was waaay over cooked and dry. Its supposed to be marinated beef, and it was really bland and dry.
Never again. When we mentioned it to the server, she said it looked over-cooked.. though she was the one that brought it to the table. The saving element was the beer. Good cold beer, even in Winter is a good thing.
So It's a shame, because I had heard so many thing that were good about this place. Maybe next time, maybe if I am brought there for the chicken and singing only :) Happy Eating!
