Girl dinner has been having its moment on TikTok for nodding to the light fridge-grazing femmes tend to munch on instead of a full meal. A bit of cheese here, maybe picking at some bread there, and between all of that you’ll have your share of fruit, pickled things, deli meats and more. It feels personal and low effort, yet still indulgent.
Now it has slipped on heels and headed to the bar.
Minitini cocktail tower with The Showgirl, Lychee Me and Skyy High cocktails
At Scotch 80 Prime’s lounge inside the Palms, girl dinner trades the kitchen counter for a leather booth and a proper pour. The ritual begins in the lounge, with low light, polished elements of brass, and the hum of a good night unfolding.
Gather your crew and order the minitini flight, three tiny martinis for $20. It’s the only correct decision.
There’s the Skyy High with raspberry and spicy mango vodka, lime and Tajín. The Showgirl mixes rosé Champagne and elderflower with a cotton candy garnish and a hint of sparkle. Lychee Me brings vodka, elderflower and lychee puree with fresh lemon juice.
Other cocktails ($10) lean playful. Not Your Dad’s Old Fashioned is made with Jefferson’s bourbon, a pomegranate rinse, simple syrup and bitters, or try the Pumpkin Spice Latte spiked with Crown Royal vanilla and espresso liqueur.
The food keeps things indulgent without tipping into excess. A crisp Caesar with a side of golden shoestring fries ($15) hits that salty, creamy sweet spot. Filet mignon tips ($22) crusted in peppercorn and dunked in blue cheese fondue brings a filling swagger. Or go for shrimp toast on pillowy Hokkaido milk bread, Iberico lumpia, and blistered shishitos ($16).
This version of the trend isn’t about eating less, it’s about tasting more, together.
GIRL DINNER AT SCOTCH 80 PRIME LOUNGE Sunday-Thursday, 5-10 p.m. Palms, 866-942-7780, palms.com.
