Ghost Donkey

Overview

Ghost Donkey is a hidden mezcal and tequila bar tucked behind an unassuming green door with a pink donkey logo inside the Block 16 Urban Food Hall at The Cosmopolitan. This intimate, standing-room-only speakeasy specializes in an extraordinary selection of artisanal mezcal and tequila, with a cocktail menu that showcases these spirits in creative and unexpected ways.

The decor is inspired by a Mexican fiesta — vibrant, colorful, and energetic, providing a stark contrast to its hidden entrance. Despite its small size (or perhaps because of it), Ghost Donkey has an electric atmosphere where strangers quickly become friends over shared plates of their legendary truffle nachos and perfectly crafted margaritas.

Ghost Donkey has earned widespread acclaim from cocktail enthusiasts and has been featured in numerous ‘best bars’ lists. It’s the kind of place that rewards those who seek it out — a true hidden gem in one of the most visited hotels on the Strip.
