If you love themed restaurants and quirky food experiences, Netflix Bites in Las Vegas is such a fun spot to check out. Located inside the MGM Grand, this dining concept brings some of Netflix’s most popular shows to life through creative dishes, playful cocktails, and interactive moments. As someone who loves a good themed experience, I was excited to visit.

I made our reservations online for 5:00 PM because on Fridays and Saturdays they feature a Squid Game soldier appearance between 5:30 and 9:30. I was curious to see how theatrical it would be. Tyrone, my boyfriend, came with me, along with my friends who were meeting us a bit later.

The Atmosphere at Netflix Bites

Netflix Bites is easy to find once you’re inside MGM Grand. Just follow the signs toward the back and you’ll spot the entrance. The space has a fun, modern design with bold pops of color and show-inspired quotes like “Watching is good. Eating is better.” There is also a cool retro-looking bar inside that adds to the overall vibe.

Nothing feels overly decorated, but there are enough themed elements around the restaurant to keep you entertained.

The Drink Menu: Playful, Themed, and Over-the-Top

The cocktail menu is where Netflix Bites really shines. Most drinks are inspired by specific Netflix shows and served with dramatic presentations. Some even include glowing ice cubes, swirling clouds, and little show references worked into the garnish.

A few standout drinks from our table:

The Mind Flayer ($24)

A Stranger Things themed bourbon cocktail topped with a cotton candy lightning cloud. When Tyrone ordered this, it immediately lit up and looked incredible. It is definitely one of the most visually impressive drinks of the night.

Pink Soldier ($18)

A gin-based cocktail inspired by Squid Game. It has a fruity profile and is very aesthetic.

Streaming Optimism ($18)

This is the margarita-style drink I ordered. It is not based on any specific show because it is actually sponsored by Mastercard, which explains the red and yellow colors. I love margaritas, so this was an easy choice for me.

Some drinks can be very expensive at $28, like the Love Is Blind drink since it comes with a souvenir cup. Vegas prices, but the presentations make it feel more special.

We were also given complimentary popcorn with our drinks, which was a nice touch.

The Food: Creative Concepts Based on Netflix Shows

Once we sat down, we noticed that most of the entrées and appetizers were inspired by different Netflix series. The menu makes it fun to try something new.

Here’s what our group ordered:

Red Bite, Green Bite ($28)

This was my pick, based on Squid Game. It comes with fried chicken pieces and three sauces: red, yellow, and green. The best part is the spinning wheel placed in the center of the dish. You spin it to see which color you get, and that determines which sauce you dip into. My friends and I all took turns spinning, and it was so fun to watch everyone react when the wheel landed on their color. All the sauces were delicious, so there was no wrong choice.

Hellfire Club Sandwich ($28)

Tyrone ordered this, and it is inspired by Stranger Things. It is a hearty club sandwich that looked very satisfying. I loved that the crusts were taken off of the bread and it came with my favorite wrinkled fries.

Who’s the Chicken Now? Sandwich ($24)

My friend Tanya ordered this one. It is inspired by the show The Gentlemen. The sandwich itself is a tasty chicken sandwich, but the fun part is that it comes with a tiny novelty rubber chicken on the plate. It is a playful nod to the show and adds an interactive moment.

Gorgeous Ladies Disco Fries ($19)

This was recommended by our server. It is a great shareable option and full of flavor.

All of our dishes came out beautifully and tasted great. Prices hover around $25 per entrée, which feels standard for themed dining in Vegas.

The Squid Game Soldier Appearance

Around 6:00 PM, the Squid Game soldier made his entrance. There was only one soldier that night, but he visited each table and took photos with every guest. He stayed completely in character, which made the experience even more fun. It was a small touch but added a unique and memorable moment to the evening.

Final Thoughts: Is Netflix Bites Worth It?

I had such a great time at Netflix Bites. The food is delicious, the drinks are creative, and the interactive elements make it stand out from other themed dining experiences in Las Vegas. It is definitely on the pricier side, but that is expected for the location and the theatrical touches.

If you are a fan of Netflix shows or just enjoy a fun, immersive dining concept, I would absolutely recommend a visit to Netflix Bites at MGM Grand.
