How To Find The Barbershop Speakeasy at Cosmopolitan

Key Points:

• The Barbershop is one of 3 speakeasies at Cosmopolitan, hidden behind an actual barbershop.

• The door to the speakeasy is in the back left corner of the salon, labeled “Janitor”.

• The lounge itself is stunning, and frequently hosts live music and other entertainment.

Hidden bars are popping up left & right in Las Vegas, and The Cosmopolitan is “ground zero” of the speakeasy trend, with 3 total, including The Ski Lodge & Ghost Donkey on top of The Barbershop.

To the unknowing passerby, the speakeasy bar looks like a run-of-the-mill barbershop, but you’ll soon know that there’s more than meets the eye.

Here’s how to get in.

How to Get Into The Barbershop Speakeasy

Finding the entrance to The Barbershop is easy if you know where to look.

First, navigate to the speakeasy, located in the front portion of the Casino near the entrance closest to Bellagio.

The “front business” concealing the speakeasy is a functioning barbershop with a vintage feel.

If you’re in the market for some grooming, a haircut will set you back $75, which is about 3x the price of my local Great Clips (or more, depending on my coupon situation).

Anyway, back to the hidden bar.

To get in, you’ll first want to find the nondescript door in the back left corner of the barbershop labeled “Janitor”.

The “Janitor” door opens to a small closet with a second door (pictured below) that leads to the speakeasy. Once through the metallic speakeasy door, you’re in.

I checked in with an employee upon arrival to let her know we wanted to check out the speakeasy.

She then took me back, guided me through the doors, and into the secret lounge. Checking in with someone felt more normal than wandering through an active barbershop and busting through a janitor’s door.

Tip: As you walk through the salon, don’t bump into a barber that’s cutting someone’s hair as I did. Face, meet palm. Talk about awkwardness.

What To Expect Inside The Barbershop Speakeasy

It’s gorgeous.

This was my first visit to The Barbershop, and I was impressed by the room’s size and the decorative elements that gave the lounge personality. The speakeasy had a vintage 1920s vibe and reeked of elegance.

While seating is often readily available during the day, I suggest making a reservation for any evening visits you have planned.

Food and Drinks at The Barbershop

The cocktail menu offers “Spiked Juice” drinks starting at $18 and “Shooters” for $16. Notably, the IV Pusher Shooter is a concoction of epsolon blanco tequila, orgeat, and lime served in an IV Bag alongside a doctor’s note.

Most 22 oz. draft beers and bottled beer options are either $9 or $10.

Bottle Service is also available, and not exactly inexpensive. Notable options include Maker’s Mark and Jameson which will each set you back $450.

In addition to cocktails, The Barbershop offers a few snacky food items like fries, popcorn, sliders, pigs in a blanket, and deep-fried Oreos.

Live Entertainment at The Barbershop

Live music is offered at The Barbershop nearly every night. The full calendar of events is available here, and we would recommend making a reservation in advance. Reservations can be requested by clicking the date you wish to attend in the events calendar.

A fun twist, Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak once dropped in for a surprise performance.

“Faded” Karaoke is offered weekly on Tuesdays from 8 pm – 1:30 am.

Whether or not you make it to The Barbershop at Cosmopolitan, I recommend hitting at least one of the growing number of speakeasies in Vegas. A hidden bar is a perfect way to kick off date night, a bachelor party, a bachelorette party, or just a night out in Sin City.
