Stray Pirate tiki bar opens in Las Vegas’ Arts District | Food


In the latest dispatches from the Las Vegas restaurant front:

■ It’s a boozy plunge to the briny deep. Stray Pirate Tropical Cocktails & Effects is scheduled to debut in October at 1321 S. Commerce St. in the Arts District. The inspiration for the bar, according to an announcement, is a “mythical band of cursed pirates, who were transformed into a motley crew of dogs after their pursuit of treasure led them into an enchanted grotto.” Stray Pirate comes courtesy of Christopher Gutierrez, a leading local barkeep who has crafted cocktails at Corduroy, Oak & Ivy, and Atomic Liquors.

Jayde @ 16, a rooftop restaurant and lounge on the 16th floor at the M Resort, is set to open Oct. 5.
