Emo Night at The Barbershop: Rock Out to Live Music at a Hidden Las Vegas Speakeasy

It was never a phase, and now it has a permanent home at the best Las Vegas speakeasy on the Strip. Emo Night is a monthly night at The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails, where Las Vegas live musicc fills a hidden bar tucked inside The Cosmopolitan, and we have teamed up with Depressed Monsters for a brand new era of it. Next up: Thursday, July 30 at 10 PM, with live bands, emo cuts and wigs, makeup artists on hand, and a full menu of specialty cocktails named after the songs you still know every word to.

A New Era for Emo Night

If you know Vegas nightlife, you know Depressed Monsters, the emo brand behind some of the city's most beloved emo night dance parties, built on mid-2000s anthems and alternative classics. Now their signature Emo Night energy has a home at our hidden Las Vegas speakeasy inside The Cosmopolitan, every month. Their crowd, their catalog, and our stage, cuts, and cocktails under one roof. This is the emo night in Las Vegas worth crossing town for.

Whether you lived through the era in eyeliner and skinny jeans or you just know every word to the hits, this is your room. Come cry, come sing, come dance. Preferably all three.

Live Bands on Stage

This is not a playlist on shuffle. Every Emo Night puts a live band on our stage, ripping through the emo and pop-punk catalog that defined a generation. The space is small on purpose, so when the whole room screams the chorus back, you feel it in your chest. There is no giant venue between you and the band, just a few feet and a lot of nostalgia.

Taking the stage the monthly: Kamikaze Sons. Las Vegas live music is what sets The Barbershop apart from every other bar in town, seven nights a week. See the full live music lineup for everything else coming to the stage.

Emo Cuts, Wigs, and Makeup

Here is the part only a barbershop could pull off. This is Emo Night at an actual barbershop, so of course the look is part of the night. Our team is on hand for emo cuts and wigs, from a side-swept fringe to the streaks you were never allowed to have in high school. Want the full transformation without touching your real hair? Grab a wig and go.

Makeup artists will be set up to finish the look, so you can walk in as yourself and walk out as your most emo alter ego. Smudged eyeliner encouraged. It is the rare night where getting ready is half the fun and it happens right here.

The Specialty Cocktails

Every drink on the Emo Night menu is named after an anthem you already know, poured with our sponsors Aspen Vodka, Flecha, and Red Bull. Order one, order all of them, and feel absolutely nothing in the best possible way.

• Sugar We're Going Down, $25. Aspen Vodka, passion fruit liqueur, fresh lemon, and soda. Sweet enough to fall in love with. Bright, bubbly, and made for singing every lyric at the top of your lungs.
• I Miss You, $25. Flecha Blanco Tequila, pineapple, lime, agave, and soda. Fresh, crisp, and impossible to forget, just like your favorite breakup song. You should call them.
• Thanks For The Memories, $25. Flecha Blanco Tequila, White Peach Red Bull, grapefruit, and lime. A refreshing twist on the classic Paloma that is equal parts sweet, citrusy, and emotionally unavailable.
• Red Bull & Vodka, $25. Simple, strong, and guaranteed to keep your eyeliner intact until last call.
• Red Bull, $10. For the ones pacing themselves. No judgment.

Going all out with a group? Bottle service comes with a bucket of Red Bull, because this crowd is here until the lights come up.
