And what better to pair them with than perfectly sized half-bottles of wine? Bottles & Burgers by Double Helix (735-9463) opens its doors at Summerlin’s Tivoli Village in the second half of November, with a grand opening celebration slated for Dec. 1. Read more »

Laudable wining and dining at Town Square’s Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge
September 22nd, 2011
The wine bar has slowly been working its way into the American consciousness, but it has a long way to go before it attains the popularity of a beer hall or cocktail lounge. La Cave at the Wynn is going great guns, but Nora’s Wine Bar in Boca Park recently went belly-up. But in my book, Double Helix has all the tools to give it staying power. Read more »
