Top 10 Breweries In Las Vegas
June 22, 2009
Let’s be honest: good beers aren’t hard to find. But discovering new ones can still be a fun process, and having a good place to drink them is very important. So here are some of the best beer-oriented establishments in Las Vegas.
1. Main Street Station Hotel - If you’re going to do some serious drinking, you don’t want a drive (or long walk) in a strange city ahead of you, right? This place has very good food and drink under the same roof as a lot of beds, and prices should be quite affordable.
2. Barley’s Casino & Brewing Company - A whole lot of five-star reviews depict this as a beer-drinker’s heaven. Excellent pizza from wood-fired ovens is available, too.
3. Chicago Brewing Company - The lunchtime dining service is supposed to be less than excellent. But for food at dinnertime or for beer whenever, this is a great establishment.
4. Tenaya Creek - Here’s a cool place to go when you want to drink without being elbow-to-elbow in suited and sequined individuals. Very good food and beer.
5. Ellis Island Casino & Brewery - Quality barbecue, pizza, and beer are all available here at reasonable prices. There’s also karaoke here if that’s your thing.
6. Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant - A favorite for business lunches, with some interesting choices on the menu. Perhaps a little more ritzy than pub-like.
7. Bj’s Restaurant & Brewery - The pizza and fish and chips are supposed to be quite yummy here. But it might not have quite the strong focus on beer that some other places boast.
8. Triple 7 Restauarant & Brewery - This is liable to be a good choice on both the food and drink fronts. Locals often go here, but not in such a way that visitors will feel unwelcome.
9. Brewery Bar & Grill - Here’s a business that is supposed to have a good selection of beers on tap. Just consider doing your eating elsewhere, as the food may not be quite so great.
10. The Monte Carlo Brew Pub - This place seems to have Lance Burton, rather than beer, as its main draw. But you can tell from its name that the wonderful liquid is important here, and, well, Las Vegas just doesn’t have that many dedicated breweries in it.
