Barry’s Downtown Prime

My brother once inquired about an epic dinner the crew took down, of which I told him we were celebrating a birthday, a breakup, a bad date, something darn it. He retorted “dude, you’re always celebrating!” I replied, “well life is worth celebrating!” That’s not a joke to me. Life is worth celebrating, and I believe this at my core. I have read this countless times from literature and leaders I follow. There are millions more than you wishing they could be doing what you are doing right now, so stop complaining, be grateful for what you have, and work. No one cares, just work. These epic take downs are achievements from years of hard work leading to this moment today. I’m grateful for never checking out of life when I could have back in Chicago, and I have no regrets inked on my left sleeve. Barry’s Prime was on my bucket list and this feast was epic: jumbo shrimp cocktail [extra virgin olive oil, cracked pepper, spicy cocktail sauce], steak tartare [beef tenderloin, dijon, horseradish, quail egg, toasted brioche], dozen oysters, lobster bisque [maine lobster, brandy, crème frâiche], 44 oz. double ribeye steak [creekstone farms, arkansas city, ks] with fresh truffles [shaved tableside], whole maine lobster mac ‘n cheese, loaded baked potato [bacon, sour cream, cheddar, chive butter], classic crème brûlée [fresh berries and orange pistachio biscotti], and banana cream pie [graham cracker crust, loads of bananas loads of whipped cream, chocolate pecan crunch]. The wine, the desserts, the sides, especially the lobster mac & cheese were awesome. The steak wasn’t the largest I’ve taken down but it was beyond flavorful. Would I recommend this place? Yes, especially if you’re staying at Circa but Fremont can be challenging at times. The crew as usual had a blast, at the center most table, loud as rockstars, and living our best lives!

The food is good, but not great. It’s over priced and overrated. There were seven of us, and we all felt exactly the same. Service was really good, but it’s extremely loud. I didn’t realize there was a live DJ there, which might be great for some, but not for us. It was hard to have conversation.

Good afternoon all!!! Last night at Circa Las Vegas I was thrown out of the restaurant for looking for the bathroom at Barry’s Steakhouse. A waiter came up to me and said I couldn’t be there and that I had to l leave. Funny enough, two ladies walked by me to go use the restroom. We were invited for dinner for my girlfriends 45th birthday and we ended up getting up from the table due to the extremely poor wait staff. Additionally, I spoke with my host there about the incident and he says that there’s nothing he can do. A simple apology would have gone a long wayThe best advice I can give you all is never to set foot inside Circa and never eat at Barry’s. We were all forced to leave and find takeout somewhere. By far the worst experience ever in my life. If you are planning a special occasion, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I wouldn’t go there if the food was free. We are hi rollers and we feel like it’s ok to see where the bathroom is located in your steakhouse.

Great find. Food and service were both top notch. We were there on a Saturday night (book a reservation in advance unless you are planning on eating in the bar) and they had a great DJ. Highly recommend!

We had our anniversary dinner here. The prices were extreme but the service and food was second to none. Thank you

Barry’s never disappoints!  Marco is the Man, him and his team are definitely at the top in Vegas.  Special mention to my man Robert at the bar and his partner in crime Martina mixing up the best libations downtown!

The best steakhouse in Las Vegas! They roll the red carpet out for you at Barry’s…the service, the food, the ambiance, everything is top notch! 10/10 would recommend!

We came about 30 minutes until closing but the staff was nice enough to let us seat. We ordered spark plugs right away because we were tired. We also ordered short rib and some ravioli. I got a wedge salad and the bread served with the table was delicious. There was a tomato focaccia that I have to come back for. The ambiance was dimly lit and romantic for a date. I highly recommend

I’ve been to Barry’s twice now and both times were amazing!The interior is very modern and classy. I am not sure if there is a dress code but most people looked dressed up. Both times I have gone we did not have reservations but they were able to get us in pretty quick. The staff is very attentive and make great suggestions. There is complimentary bread for the table. I have tried the beef short rib, Barry’s steak, scallops and the lamp chop. All have been delicious but my favorite was the lamb chop! It is parmesan crusted and has a delicious sauce. I will continue to keep Barry’s on the list when I visit Vegas!And we love staying at the Circa so its a plus!

Best steakhouse in Vegas in the post covid era.  Amazing service, food was incredible and atmosphere was perfect!   We dined at Gordon Ramsey’s Steak two nights ago and the meal at Barrys blew them away. Will return as often as I am in Vegas.
