Ghost Donkey Bar is one of the sports bars at Crown Casino Melbourne.
Why the bar is known as Ghost Donkey is still unknown yet told to be named after some fabled white donkeys—considered the workhorse of the tequila and mezcal-making process.
Ghost Donkey is full of bright color and eccentric characters, which come to life through the cheerful bar team as well as the space's whimsical design.
This is an Mexican inspired bar that came from Las Vegas.
Located at the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino in Las Vegas this bar serves great cocktails and good food.
It is said that the bar’s soul resides in Mexico and was declared the best Cocktail bar of the year in 2020 and with locations in Las Vegas (NV) (at the Cosmopolitan Hotel), Denver (CO), Phoenix (AZ), Auckland (NZ) and soon coming to Chicago and Dallas.
