10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Las Vegas

"Appropriately named, Beer District Brewing is located at the top of the Arts District in Las Vegas, which boasts 5 other Las Vegas breweries within a half-mile of each other. Hooray for walking between the Las Vegas breweries!. A lengthy tap list can sometimes be seen as negative: jack of all trades, master of none."

"This microbrewery and taproom located in the Arts District offers an array of its own beers such as a Russian Imperial stout, a Scottish ale, a dopplebock, and more. Online ordering available."

"Located about a mile from Old Town Las Vegas (aka Fremont), Tenaya Creek Brewery is one of the award-winning Las Vegas breweries with chill vibes and good craft beer. Enjoy a flight of 5 or a pint of beer off of their large list of in-house brews and several guest taps. Their Pilsner won gold at the Great American Beer Festival and is one of the few craft pilsners that we have found to really enjoy."

"This family-owned and operated brewery has been around for nearly two decades, moving Downtown after outgrowing its previous facility in the northwest valley. It’s not your typical Las Vegas watering hole: no gaming, smoking, or liquor. Just great craft beer and a little bit of wine."

"Blame Hop Nuts for kicking off the local beer craze in the Downtown Arts District. The name pays tribute to the brewery's Green Mamba Double IPA -- a hop-heavy West Coast-style DIPA that scores extremely high on the IBU scale. (That’s International Bitterness Units, so consider yourself warned.) A second taproom is now open in the west valley at Tivoli Village."

"Your next stop for great beer in Las Vegas is Hop Nuts Brewing located in the Las Vegas Arts District of Downtown. If you couldn’t guess it from the name, this brewery specializes in hop-driven beers such as citrusy IPAs. But, this isn’t all they have to offer their guests!"

"There are a few breweries in the Downtown area, but Banger Brewing is the only one surrounded by the high energy and bright lights of the Fremont Street Experience. Despite the location, the brewery and bar is a favorite of locals and a welcome detour for tourists. Opened by a group of service-industry friends, Banger Brewing is proving to be a great Las Vegas success story."

"First up is Banger Brewing located on the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas. Currently ranking with 4 ½ stars on Yelp, Banger Brewing is the perfect place to wet your whistle with a Las Vegas local craft beer. Fresh ingredients and a love for Las Vegas are the two main factors when it comes to this Downtown brewery."

"Banger Brewing sits right along Fremont Street, one of the most eclectic, interesting, and happening streets in all of the United States. Fremont Street is Old Town Vegas and dates back to when Las Vegas itself was originally founded. It was the first paved street in Sin City and even had the first traffic light."

"DeeDee and Tony share their wheelchair accessible cruise to Alaska and Canada aboard the Carnival Miracle, which they call the "trip of a lifetime."

"Our last stop on our brewery tour in Downtown Las Vegas is Triple 7 Restaurant & Microbrewery located inside Main Street Station Casino, Brewery, & Hotel. This Vegas microbrewery features six craft beers with some of the freshest flavors that will ever hit your lips. All your favorites – golden ale, hefeweizen, pale ale, IPA, and more – are all available year-round."

"Having just opened in October 2020, it’s the newest of the Las Vegas breweries. But HUDL Brewing Co is definitely NOT short on experience when it comes to brewing. The brewmaster has a long history in the industry, working with numerous breweries like Pizza Port and AleSmith in San Diego, as well as at the American Brewers Guild, where he took on many apprentices and has helped grow the craft beer industry."

"HUDL Brewing Co. offers 11 of its own beers on tap including stouts, IPAs, cream ales, and fruit beers. Of course, the beers can change all the time depending on what’s on tap next."

"Fascinating multimedia exhibits focus on science, technology and the social history of the 'Atomic Age,' which lasted from WWII until atmospheric bomb testing was driven underground in 1961 and a worldwide ban on nuclear testing was declared in 1992. View footage of atomic testing and examine southern Nevada's nuclear past, present and future, from Native American ways of life to the environmental legacy of atomic testing. Don't miss the ticket booth (how could you?); it's a Nevada Test Site guard-station replica."

"A fresh slice of Vegas camp for grown-ups, this stately 1938 mansion on South Las Vegas Boulevard has been turned into a house of horrors by the star of the Travel Channel’s hit series Ghost Adventures. Zak Bagan has put together a veritable “Mecca of macabre” in a home with a creepy, chequered past, where dark rituals were thought to have been held in the basement. You’ll tiptoe down winding hallways and through dark passages to more than thirty rooms, all decorated like something from a horror film and holding objects that conjure fascination and no little fear."

"Zak Bagans is famous for his work as a paranormal investigator and television host for the show, Ghost Adventures. He decided to take over the space in Las Vegas that many locals have said was haunted for years. Brave visitors will follow winding hallways through secret passages as they take in over 30 different rooms with different haunting displays."

"Zak lives in Las Vegas, and he built it over the years, steadily collecting items to thrill both his hometown ghost-chasers and tourists alike. When he took me on the tour, he was so proud and excited. This is his baby, and it shows."

"Located in Tivoli Village on the edge of Summerlin, Leoné Café brings a bit of the Italian coffee experience to the desert. In addition to the familiar espresso-based drinks, Leoné’s coffee menu includes its innovative take on them with drinks such as Nutella, Lavender, or Hazelnut Cappuccinos and Cinnamon or Sugar-free Caramel Lattes. They also offer brewed coffee, iced drinks, and smoothies."
