About the restaurant

What is "NOCTURNO"?
A celebration of the classic cocktail bar, the beauty of simple, balanced drinks, and those late nights spent with friends and family. Discover the historic cocktail families that laid the foundation for the ever-evolving world of drinks we enjoy today, along with their tried-and-true modern variations. Nocturno was born from late nights spent in dimly lit cocktail bars, where the air is filled with the fresh zest of a recently squeezed lime, the rhythmic clunk of a large ice block in a shaker as a frothy daiquiri comes to life, and the warm crackle of a vintage record setting the perfect mood in a candlelit room. This is our love song to those cozy, intimate cocktail bars—where great memories and real connections are made over tasty bevs.

Hugo’s Cellar at the Four Queens is a perennial favorite stop when in Vegas. Ladies receive a long stem red rose upon arrival and waiters in tuxedos provide incredible service and the food is extraordinary too.

About the restaurant

Fun fact—there’s no Winnie or Ethel here! This charming diner is the brainchild of life and business partners Aaron Lee and Mal Gott. After winning The Great Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway in 2023 (like a local Shark Tank for foodies!), the duo brought their shared vision to life in the heart of Las Vegas.

At Winnie & Ethel’s, every dish tells a story. Our food is crafted from scratch by award-winning chef Aaron Lee, honored in the Las Vegas Weekly 40 Under 40. Whether you’re digging into our fan-favorite Diner Breakfast, savoring the tender flavors of our Pot Roast French Dip, or indulging in Malted Pancakes or Waffles, every bite is made with love and a nod to classic diner nostalgia.

And what’s a diner without bottomless coffee? Ours is locally roasted by Mothership Roasters, ensuring every cup is rich, flavorful, and fuels those priceless conversations.

Join us at Winnie & Ethel’s—a place where a meal isn’t just food on a plate, but an open invitation to feel at home.

Had some time between Fallout Fringe Festival shows to have an early dinner/drink session at Craft Creamery. All prices are listed as Happy Hour/Regular. Began with the Mole, Mole, Mole ($14/$16): A creation of Chris Militello's, who also happened to be manning the bar this evening. Gave a low-level steady spicy bite on the tongue, quite smooth. Smashed Sliders ($14/$16): Three tasty morsels, nicely crisped edges on the meat without squishing out all the juices within. Good melty cheese, flavorful sauce, crunchy pickle, sweet buns. Ube Wan Kenobi ($13/$15): Dreamed up by Amanda Lopez, a sweet creamy delight. Beignet ($8/$10): Three ping pong ball sized, sugar-and-cocoa dusted, airy inside/thin shell fried outside treats. Came with a scoop of elote ice cream but honestly did not detect that flavor. Value: Pretty great, especially during Happy Hour. Service: Attentive without hovering from Chris and Matt Katschka. etc- Happy Hour runs from 3 to 7pm as of this review. Hat tip to the speakeasy owners/managers for giving the drink inventors credit in print and online in the menu.
