Before fiery chef Gordon Ramsay erected his popular Hell’s Kitchen restaurant located Stripside in front of Caesars Palace, he opened up his casual pub-style restaurant on the property, Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, almost a decade before. And, years later, it still draws in customers hungry for his elevated British-style pub food. And it never disappoints.
The space is a mix of comfortable and lively, as the restaurant is located right in the heart of the casino-floor action. A blend of eatery and lounge, guests can opt to hang in the bar area, with a more laid-back vibe, or in the main dining room, with a patio-type area perfect for people watching and engaging conversation.
Beer fans will love the fact that there are dozens of beers on tap and more than 60 different labels of bottled beer. Enjoy a pint or two (or three!) of favorites like Stella Artois, Dogfish Head, Innis & Gunn, Guinness, Samuel Adams, Angry Orchard and Boddingtons. The restaurant also serves up specialty cocktails—try the Avon Came Upon Sin, a mix of Ketel One Botanical Cucumber and Mint vodka, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, rhubarb and lemon juice.
Food here is the main attraction, though, and, of course, guests can consume Ramsay’s signature dish—the roasted beef Wellington. But try the master chef’s pub-inspired creations like the popular fish and chips, onion and ale soup, crispy chicken paillard and the grilled pub burger made with English sharp cheddar and applewood smoked bacon.
It’s a starter, but deserves the entrée spotlight—the short rib kettle chip nachos are served with English cheddar sauce, pickled peppers and sour cream. This is one British dish that gives the Mexican-food favorite a run for its money.
End the meal, if your tummy can take it, with Ramsay’s classic sticky toffee pudding served with a side of vanilla ice cream. Or you can opt for the decadent chocolate brownie topped with pretzel chips and salted peanut ice cream. Uh, yum!
