This isn't Netflix's first restaurant. There was a Netflix Bites pop-up restaurant in Los Angeles back in 2023. It was fully booked for the entire six weeks it was open. This latest restaurant, located on the casino floor of the MGM Grand, will be around for at least a year.
It's not all about the food, either. Netflix Bites immerses guests in their favorite shows through themed dishes, drinks, and interactive features. Here is some of what guests can expect:
Love is Blind cocktail -- A custom-mixed drink served in a special chalice. Red Bite, Green Bite -- a Squad Game challenge where diners spin a wheel to determine their fate, with fried chicken and dipping sauces. The Mind Flayer -- a bourbon cocktail inspired by Stranger Things, topped with a cotton candy lightning cloud. The Dessert is Lava -- inspired by Floor is Lava, this molten chocolate mountain comes with edible gummy contestants.
Diners could find themselves part of the story, as well. Squid Game guards serve food, Thing from Wednesday greets visitors, and bartenders reenact The Fall of the House of Usher.
How to visit the new restaurant
Netflix Bites Vegas is now open for walk-ins. Reservations will launch on February 20, 2025, at NetflixBites.com.
The restaurant's hours of operation are:
Breakfast & lunch: 7 am - 2 pm Dinner: 5 pm - 10 pm (Sunday to Thursday) Late night: 5 pm - midnight (Friday and Saturday)
This restaurant is definitely worth checking out if you happen to be in Vegas over the next year. After all, when else will you sip on a cocktail in the upside-down or battle Squid Game guards for fried chicken?
