Where Las Vegas drinks local: brewpubs, taprooms and the new wave.
Taprooms, brewpubs and the local beer scene in Las Vegas worth taking a tram to.
Able Baker Brewing in Las Vegas is the Arts District anchor brewpub, named after the first two 1956 atomic tests and pouring 30-plus taps with a scratch.
TipThe Arts District Kitchen serves until close and is the only Main Street brewery doing burgers, banh mi and wings on the same ticket.
Hop Nuts Brewing in Las Vegas runs a 20-tap brewpub on the South Main strip, with 15 lines poured from the in-house brewhouse and a full cocktail program.
TipDaily 16:00-18:00 happy hour drops Golden Ale pints to $5; crowlers and 64oz growlers travel home.
Tenaya Creek Brewery in Las Vegas is one of the city's first craft brewers, open since 1999 and pouring 28 taps in a smoke-free Bonanza Road taproom.
TipThe Bonanza Brown Ale is the long-running flagship; nightly food trucks park outside and rotate Mexican, Korean and barbecue most weeks.
CraftHaus Brewery in Henderson is the original Booze District taproom, pouring Belgian and German-leaning craft beers with viewing windows into the working.
TipOrder the spent-grain pretzel rolls with warm beer cheese; the patio takes dogs and the room is non-gaming, rare for the valley.
Lovelady Brewing on Water Street in Henderson is the family-run brewpub that opened first in the revitalised Water Street District, pouring a small-batch.
TipOrder the alcoholic milkshakes (a Lovelady signature); the Pebble Marketplace second taproom across town covers Green Valley.
Bad Beat Brewing in the Las Vegas Arts District is the ten-year Henderson taproom reopened on South Main in September 2025, pouring small-batch craft.
TipLook for the brew pub sign on South Main next to The Honeypot; the original Henderson Booze District location closed when the team relocated downtown.
Big Dog's Draft House in Las Vegas is the city's first microbrewery, founded 1993 and still pouring its own range from the in-house brewhouse on North Rancho.
TipThe Rancho location runs a 24-hour casino floor; the brewery proper turns out flagship lagers and rotating IPAs you can order with the pub menu.
