What you should know about ReBAR.
ReBAR is best known for opening in 2015 after entrepreneur Derek Stonebarger, founder of the Downtown Project-backed concept, transformed a former neighborhood bar into an innovative venue combining a full-service cocktail bar with a curated marketplace for vintage furniture, antiques, collectibles, vinyl records, local artwork, and reclaimed décor, pioneering the concept of “buy the bar”, where nearly every furnishing and decorative object is available for purchase. Stonebarger developed the concept as part of the continuing revitalization of Las Vegas' 18b Arts District, creating an independently owned business that regularly collaborates with local artists, musicians, makers, and creative entrepreneurs through rotating exhibitions, pop-up markets, live performances, and community events. The beverage program centers on craft cocktails, regional draft beer, Nevada spirits, and rotating seasonal specials while complementing signature events including First Friday celebrations, vintage markets, neighborhood fundraisers, and artist showcases that reinforce the venue's role within the district's creative economy. Independent ownership since 2015, the pioneering “buy the bar” retail model, longstanding participation in Arts District programming, continual support for local creatives, and recognition from Eater Las Vegas, Vegas Seven, and regional hospitality publications have established ReBAR among Downtown's most influential independent bars.
Balanced cocktails unfold through fresh citrus, carefully selected spirits, aromatic bitters, house-made syrups, and seasonal ingredients while surrounding shelves filled with vintage treasures encourage guests to browse as naturally as they socialize. Local craft beer, rotating artwork, reclaimed furniture, vinyl records, distinctive antiques, and creative retail displays broaden the experience through changing discoveries that reward curiosity throughout the evening. Welcoming bartenders, neighborhood conversations, live music, and independently curated collections complete an outing where hospitality, creativity, and entrepreneurship remain inseparable from the experience. Together, the cocktail bar, vintage marketplace, and Arts District philosophy express a nightlife character defined by originality, craftsmanship, and an enduring commitment to Las Vegas' independent creative community.
