Downtown: Bars and Lounges in Fremont East

July 8, 2011

In 2002, the city of Las Vegas created an entertainment district in the heart of downtown Las Vegas: Fremont East. The Fremont East District sits adjacent to the popular tourist attraction, the Fremont Street Experience. Fremont East is one of the only areas which is non gaming.

The Fremont East District offers an eclectic mixture of bars, clubs and cafes along Fremont Street from Las Vegas Boulevard to Eighth Street. The district continues one block north of Fremont Street to Ogden Avenue and one block south to Carson Avenue.

In the Fremont East District, you’ll be keeping good company with popular downtown venues such as Azul Tequila, The Beat Coffeehouse, Beauty Bar, The Griffin, Maharaja Hookah Café, Vanguard Lounge, newly opened Insert Coins and (my favorite), the Downtown Cocktail Room (concealed front door entrance and great drinks).

Just a note on parking:

  • Valet at El Cortez on 6th and Ogden
  • Free Parking Garage entrance on 7th between Ogden and Fremont
  • Metered street parking on 6th or 7th street, bring some quarters (free after 8pm)- check times on meters.
  • Parking along Jackie Gaughn Parkway metered credit card or coins.
  • Avoid the over priced parking ($10) next to the Hookah lounge or the parking at the Fremont Experience
