We heard great things about the Down Town Pimm’s, which we promptly ignored, because this blog does not live by society’s rules.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHighly recommended is the Smashed Pig’s epic panty-dropper, the Crown Jewel. The cocktail has Skyy Pineapple vodka, Luxardo Maraschino (a liqueur originally from Croatia), fresh lemon, cinnamon vanilla syrup (a liquid originally from our daydreams) and bitters.<\/p>\nIf you’re given the choice between sex and the Crown Jewel, remember, sex will be there tomorrow. So will the Crown Jewel, honestly, but let’s not get bogged down in details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nGiven the Smashed Pig was done in partnership with Downtown Project, there are the requisite Millenial charging stations beneath the bar.<\/p>\nProviding charging stations is actually a clever way of getting people to plug in their phones and have actual conversations. Remember those?

We’re looking at you, Pasquale Rotella. Long story.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It’s been a long time coming, but the Smashed Pig Gastropub is open on Fremont East in downtown Las Vegas. Smashed Pig joins a spate of restaurant openings, due in no small part to the fact we’ve been looking for an excuse to use “spate” in a sentence.
