Palate Las Vegas is a modern Americana kitchen-and-bar in the heart of the Arts District, led by Chef Sterling Buckley with managing partners Rudy Aguas and Marisa Martino of Bar-Kada Hospitality, where "the food is art and the cocktails are art." Its bar program includes a standing, clearly labeled "FREE SPIRITED" section of five crafted zero-proof cocktails: Kiss From a Rose (Empress N/A indigo gin, hibiscus, elderflower, lime, lemonade, rose), Pineapple Express (pineapple-jalapeño-infused N/A mezcal, lime, agave, pineapple, smoked), Whiskey '0' Sour (zero-proof whiskey, lemon, demerara), Zero Plane (zero-proof whiskey, Lyre's Orange Aperitif, Lucano N/A amaro, lemon), and Valerie (Empress N/A indigo gin, lemon, ginger). Non-alcoholic beer is also stocked, with Athletic Brewing's Atletica and Free Wave on the list. The venue gives back through its drink menu: for every free-spirit cocktail sold, $1 is donated to the Vegas Stronger foundation. It serves dinner Wednesday through Sunday plus weekend brunch in a space that doubles as a showcase for local Las Vegas artists.
