Over the last 30 years, David Robins worked with Wolfgang Puck, opening five of the celebrity chef’s restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. Now, he’s taking over a former novelty store in the Las Vegas Arts District to open a restaurant of his own creation, partnering with Puck to build a venue that focuses on fresh, crusty bread, late-night cocktails, and nurturing the walkability of one of the city’s buzziest neighborhoods.
“I was just looking for a space that I could bake bread and sell it. Then I started looking at what areas made sense,” says Robins. “I fell in love with the Arts District area because I lived down here. I love restoring the kind of things that have good bones. And when I walked in here, I realized that the place had a lot of potential.”The bakery spans the entire length of 1228, where bakers put in upwards of 30 hours prepping and proofing and baking each croissant.
cookies and cream varieties are filled with pastry cream and topped with Oreo cookies. Some highlight summer flavors with vanilla cream and strawberries or blueberries. Varieties of bread include San Francisco sourdough, buckwheat olive ciabatta, baguettes, and multi-seed rye.The kitchen menu makes good use of bread, too. There’s a selection of spreads for slathering onto slices, like chicken foie mousse, garlic fondant, and ricotta with olive oil.
Starting on Monday, 1228 Main will open at 7 a.m. for coffee, pastries, and breakfast and remain open for lunch service. On June 9, it will expand to dinner service with the bar open until midnight. Robins sees it as the type of place where workers can sit on their laptops with a coffee and breakfast in the morning before groups come in for lunch and dinner. After dinner service, he hopes night owls will build it into their evenings as they hop between neighboring bars.
