The 6 Saddest Restaurant Closings to Know in Las Vegas, July 2025
Las Vegas's dining scene is constantly evolving — and in mid‑2025, several beloved bars, neighborhood diners, and comfort‑food staples have closed their doors. Below is a curated list of the city's most noteworthy restaurant and bar closures from the past month, along with those that have publicly announced upcoming final service dates. This is a curated list of Las Vegas's most notable restaurant and bar closures. See a closing we missed? Then drop us a line. Hogs & Heifers Saloon Hogs & Heifers began in 1992 with its roots in New York before expanding to downtown Las Vegas in 2005 as the Hogs & Heifers Saloon. Located on Third Street, the bar catered to a divey crowd with a rebellious streak — known for its signature sass and raunchiness that encouraged bras hanging from the rafters, bartop dancing, and a steady lineup of motorcycles parked out front. The Hogs & Heifers Saloon closed on July 5 when its lease expired, but owner Michelle Dell is already planning to reopen the bar in the Arts District. One of Las Vegas' top Vietnamese restaurants, District One, ended its 11-year run on July 6. Founded in 2014 by Ho Chi Minh City native chef Khai Vu, the restaurant took its name from the city's bustling central district and gained a following for its signature lobster pho, oxtail fried rice, and clams in garlic-basil gravy. The space is undergoing a remodel and is expected to reopen as a Japanese restaurant. Blue Martini spent close to 20 years as a nightlife mainstay at Town Square, drawing crowds to its second-floor location with pulsing DJ sets, hookah offerings, and buzz-worthy happy hours — including open bar nights geared toward women. On Sunday, July 20, the venue closed, with plans to make a comeback on the Las Vegas Strip in spring 2026. NoButcher closed its location on South Rainbow Boulevard near Spring Mountain Road and its three-month-old outpost on Saint Rose Parkway in Henderson on Monday, July 7. The plant-based deli and restaurant was known for its vegan takes on classic sandwiches — like a pulled pork and pastrami with Swiss. NoButcher cited unforeseen challenges, including underperforming sales and undisclosed building issues. Chagaroot closed on Thursday, July 3. The Henderson restaurant originally launched with a fully plant-based menu, spotlighting mushrooms as its primary protein source. Over time, it expanded its menu to include salmon, chicken, and steak as optional additions to bowls and salads. Highlights included vegan chicken sandwiches, crispy nuggets, and smoothies blended with tropical fruits and functional fungi like mycelium mix and cordyceps mushrooms. Therapy Back in 2017, Therapy was a go-to spot for the cool crowd, known for its seasonal cocktails themed around holidays and for shareable dishes like In The 'Gnudi': warm baked ricotta drizzled with truffle honey and fig jam, served with cranberry-walnut crostinis. But in the years that followed, both food and service declined, with wait times for food extending up to an hour. In March 2025, the restaurant was sold to the team behind the upcoming Electric Mushroom bar, and it closed shortly thereafter.

Las Vegas Loses Three Restaurants With Plant-Based Menus
Three restaurants that catered to vegans, Meatless Monday enthusiasts, and vegetable lovers shuttered across the Las Vegas Valley in the past week, including local favorite NoButcher and the mushroom-forward eatery Chagaroot. NoButcher announced the closure of both its locations — on South Rainbow Boulevard near Spring Mountain Road and its three-month-old outpost on Saint Rose Parkway in Henderson — via Instagram on Monday, July 7. The plant-based deli, known for its vegan takes on classic sandwiches like pulled pork and pastrami with Swiss, cited unforeseen challenges, including underperforming sales and undisclosed building issues. 'This may only be temporary, but for now, we are taking a step back,' the post reads. 'Sales are 30 percent lower than what we were originally told,' the post added, noting that the concept 'isn't gone forever.' Chagaroot, which closed on Thursday, July 3, primarily focused on plant-based fare — particularly mushrooms — but also offered meat add-ons such as salmon, chicken, and steak. The Henderson restaurant featured vegan chicken sandwiches, crispy nuggets, and smoothies made with tropical fruits and mycelium mix or cordyceps mushrooms. A farewell Instagram post reads, 'From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey.' The Vegas-based brand continues to sell its mushroom protein powder online. Japanese tea shop debuts in Vegas Japan-based tea shop Nana's Green Tea has landed in Las Vegas. The matcha used at the shop is stone-ground in Uji or Shizuoka before arriving at the new location at 6925 South Buffalo Drive, Unit 140, near Warm Springs Road. Matcha is available in lattes, floats, sodas, soft serve with chocolate, and parfaits layered with black sesame. First Watch makes first appearance First Watch, a daytime café with nearly 600 locations across the country, is bringing casual brunches to Las Vegas. The first of three planned locations opens this August at 1020 East Craig Road in North Las Vegas. The menu includes smoked salmon eggs Benedict, lemon ricotta pancakes, quinoa breakfast bowls, kale salads, and roast beef and horseradish Havarti sandwiches.
