Our Story

The Original Doughnut Bar founders realized they had such a shared passion for great- tasting food , they decided to team up to launch a one-of-a-kind doughnut concept. With over 50 years of food and beverage experience and many successful restaurant openings and turn -arounds they decided it was time to launch their own concept, and create their own brand and so The Original Doughnut Bar was born in 2020. With their vast experience in the doughnut, pizza and wings business, the founders decided to take a conventional business such as doughnuts and create unique flavors and combinations of flavors never seen before. ODB, as the founders passionately refer to their brand, is the first liquor- infused and liquor -glazed doughnut concept in the Las Vegas market. ODB’s Pink and gray unique- designed building serves up it’s tasty variety of doughnuts accompanied by nationally acclaimed Peet’s coffee.
