First timer started my night here. Literally came in got a drink, i accidentally forgot where i was and hit my vape inside. (I'm not from here mind you) & One of the workers grabbed my drink, threw it out & started pushing me out, then proceeded to scream in my face in front of everyone on the strip, i was very calm telling him i understand and im sober so he doesn't need to yell or put hands on me and then he told me im never welcomed back. Literally insane behavior and completely unprofessional, no warning or anything just a random man aggressively grabbing me and screaming. Never coming back. I get it i really do but c'mon.

Gilly’s feels like the kind of bar every neighborhood wishes it had: relaxed, fun, great drinks, and full of personality. The atmosphere has that classic local vibe where everyone seems happy to be there, and it’s the perfect spot to stop in for a drink and stay longer than planned. The cocktails were excellent. The Pandan Express was creative and smooth, with that richer, slightly tropical flavor that stands out without being too sweet. Anything with sesame and hojicha has been hooked. Their espresso martini was just as impressive. It was bold, balanced, and exactly the kind you want to sip slowly. Between the drinks and the welcoming energy, it’s easy to see why people love this place. One of the best surprises is how much there is to do. They have a free Pac-Man table, a pool table, and an unbeatable Tuesday steak night that gives the bar an extra sense of community. It feels like a hangout spot and a cocktail bar at the same time, which is rare in the best way. Great cocktails, fun extras, and a cozy neighborhood feel make Gilly’s House of Cocktails a standout. It’s the kind of bar you come back to again and again because it just feels good to be there.

It was because of Ig that my friends and i went to check out this holiday pop up at the back of Gillys. Just letting you know, this is definitely worth a visit because even though it’s divey vibes, it feels homey. Probably because the front of the house is snap and divey. But once you reach the patio, it’s like a Christmas wonderland.
