Next week, plans for a new speakeasy will go before the Las Vegas Planning Commission. Called Half-Time Speakeasy, the new “small-scale, specialty lounge” would open at 200 W Sahara Ave, Suite 130, according to submitted documents. (Approval has been recommended for the proposal.)
“Our business concept is a soccer-themed upscale speakeasy designed to serve specialty cocktails, premium beverages, and light snacks in a safe, comfortable, and well-managed environment,” says a justification letter submitted by owner Keren Sharabi.
Half-Time Speakeasy would operate approximately from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. four to seven nights a week, “depending on demand and seasonal events,” with seating for 25-28 patrons.
In addition to cocktails, wine, and beer, Half-Time would also offer light pre-packaged snacks (there will be “no full kitchen operations”). Perhaps most intriguing is the promise of Half-Time’s “themed décor and events celebrating international soccer culture, creating a unique entertainment experience.”
What Now reached out to Keren Sharabi on Thursday to ask about plans for the new speaker. Sharabi was not immediately available for comment.
Opening and Sahara Avenue and Fairfield Avenue, at the southern end of the Gateway District, Half-Time Speakeasy would be part of a food drink community that includes Aroma Barista Bar, All American Sports Kitchen, and Daiquiri Bar.
Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
