Bagatelle Supper Club & Beach Club

Review

Bagatelle Supper Club & Beach Club has arrived.

The South of France-inspired nightlife venue favors upscale dining, champagne flowing aplenty and crystal chandeliers, making for an elegant Mediterranean supper club experience.

Bagatelle Supper Club & Beach Club takes both fine dining and nightlife and brings them both to Las Vegas with an air of Mediterranean charm. The brand has already made an impact in New York, St. Barth's and Miami and the Vegas addition is just as impressive.

Bagatelle starts the night with dining at around 6 p.m., segueing into a supper club ambiance with music and ambient lighting after about two and a half hours. By around 10:30 p.m., Bagatelle transforms into a nightclub with dancing, booths and bottles a-poppin’. The transformation is subtle, with the tempo picking up as the night does.

When you pass through Bagatelle's dedicated entrance (which has its own valet) and head down a long hallway to Bagatelle’s host stand, you can acquaint yourself with the club’s vibe. Lots of stark, white walls and columns breathe life into the venue, which opens into a large oval main room with two levels of seating and an elevated DJ booth to the left.

This is a high-end nightlife venue, without a doubt. The whole room is sleek and light colored, with emphasis on white, beige and similar shades that recall European sensibilities, with subdued pop art elements throughout the walls.

Dinner hours see Chef John Zamarchi’s menu come to life with South of France flavor. The mouthwatering signature dishes including gnocchi a la Parisienne (housemade gnocchi, black truffle pesto filling, truffle sauce) and truffled roasted chicken for two (country style potatoes, foie gras sauce).

Two fully stocked bars round out the standard club offerings, but Bagatelle is anything but basic.

The main room’s centerpiece is a breathtaking crystal chandelier over the center. Smaller chandeliers hanging around the whole room bring the place together, drawing your attention to the central floor where, depending on what time of the night, you may either be dining or dancing.

If you’re lucky (or a VIP), you might even witness a visit from the heavenly Champagne Muse, delivering high-end bottles from above to a booth below.

Two private dining rooms, each with their own bar, are located right near the entrance and can be combined into a single room. These are essentially VIP club skyboxes during nightclub hours, though the private area can also open up into the main room, adding the extra bars and space for busier nights and events.

With a focus on Mediterranean flavor (in both the food it serves and flair it shows), Bagatelle’s music program brings in top international house music DJs playing through the night, as well as local DJs unique to Vegas.

Bagatelle also hosts its Bagatelle Brunch on weekends, kicking up their daylife game with what has become a New York City Meatpacking District staple.

Whether you'd rather have a bite to the backdrop of house tunes or prefer to shake it all night, Bagatelle works out remarkably well for either - or both.
