Beneath the glittering bustle of Solaire Resort Entertainment City lies BRB: Baccarat Room & Bar, a clandestine speakeasy that revives the secret glamour of the Prohibition era. Here, a discreet brass nameplate marks the entrance to velvet-lined walls and plush leather seating, evoking the hush-hush thrill of 1920s New York. Guests leaning in close with a martini glass in hand might almost expect a raid—minus the worry, plus the charm.
Art Deco Ambiance and Jazz Age Design
BRB’s interior is a masterclass in Art Deco revival, where geometric patterns, gold accents, and cubist lighting fixtures conjure a bygone era of underground glamour. Plush armchairs and high-back stools offer intimate nooks for whispered conversations and clandestine toasts. A grand cigar humidor stands as a centerpiece, inviting aficionados to select rare cigars from around the world while soaking up the period atmosphere.
Prohibition-Inspired Cocktail Creations
From the moment you step inside, the air hums with jazz—smoky saxophone riffs weaving through conversations like silk ribbons. A new menu, fashioned after 1920s cocktail lore, offers playful nods to the era’s underground ingenuity. Allow the “Dear Mr. Volstead” to tease your palate with botanical whispers, or surrender to “Ship from Bimini,” which transports you to sunlit rum-running coves. For those craving a clandestine thrill, the “Hard Stuff”—a peanut butter–infused whiskey—pays tribute to Jack “The Whiskey Wizard” and the audacious spirit of speakeasy alchemists.
Beyond these signature libations, BRB’s curated whisky library spans more than 350 rare bottlings, each bottle steeped in its own legend. Pair your dram with a slender Cuban cigar or a homegrown Filipino blend and let the aromatic smoke swirl around the golden glow of candlelit tables. Gourmet bites, from deviled scotch eggs to delicate nomad caviar, punctuate your indulgence with bursts of savory elegance.
As night deepens, the stage awakens. Every week, live jazz ensembles set the scene for foot-tapping revelry, while DJs slip behind the turntables as the clock approaches midnight. Guest bartenders from acclaimed establishments around the region commandeer the bar from time to time, each unleashing experimental techniques or personal anecdotes with every perfected pour. It is here, amid the collaborative energy of these beverage maestros, that stories are distilled into liquid form.
The Decadent 1920s
Come Thursday, BRB transforms into an ode to femininity. From 5PM until 10PM, ladies revel in complimentary cocktails—effervescent Crumble Martinis, blushing Pink Baller Tonics, and the flirtatious Rosey Cheek, to name a few—exclusive to Solaire Rewards members. Wine aficionados need not fret: elegant pours of crimson, ivory, or rosé flow as freely as conversation.
And for those seeking a daily rendezvous, social hour beckons from 4PM to 8PM. Amid the hum of laughter, patrons sip free-flowing concoctions, imported brews, and fine spirits. Newspaper-style menus conceal a crossword puzzle infused with historical trivia; solve it and the bartender of the night will craft you a bespoke surprise cocktail.
BRB is more than a bar—it is a time machine. It invites you to succumb to the quiet thrill of rebellion, the allure of forbidden pleasures, and the elegant abandon of the Jazz Age. So gather your closest confidantes, don your best ensemble, and discover the secrets that await beneath Solaire’s luminous floors.
