Late-night and bar scene — Noodle Bar, Myst Bar, Truffles Pub

Myst Bar in the Rotunda is the casino's main bar with classic cocktails, HD TVs and live music on weekends. Truffles Pub and other lounge areas provide more casual pub menus and often cater to late-evening crowds.

Nearby off-site options and brief tips

Cherokee town offers additional local restaurants and cultural attractions within a short drive; the Museum of the Cherokee People and Oconaluftee sites are about 2–3 miles away. If you plan to explore outside the resort, driving routes use U.S. 441.

Practical tips: for upscale or weekend dining, make reservations ahead; confirm current restaurant hours with the concierge because hours vary by day and season; remember that the casino floor and its restaurants/bars are restricted to guests 21 and older.

  • Check with the front desk or concierge for same-day reservations and current hours
  • Breakfast at Selu is an extra charge and not included in room rates
  • If traveling with children, choose restaurants located off the casino floor (Selu, Amici, Gordon Ramsay Food Market)
