10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Blue Diamond

"Beer District Brewing is the combined forces of Jim Doyle and Clyde Lipp, who together have won dozens of homebrew competitions around the country over the past 10 years. The new venture has 21 ambitious brews on tap, covering a lot of ground with small-batch recipes and a beer list that changes frequently. The operation, which opened in February, is already drawing especially strong attention for its dark beers."

"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."

"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!"

"Even those who are not a hop head are still in luck at this hop-forward brewery, which produces not just citrusy IPAs and herbal pale ales, but also reds and Dunkelweizens. Food trucks, a large bar, and a patio round out the offerings. Also at Tivoli Village."

"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."

"If you spend enough time in Las Vegas and try your hand at gambling, you’re likely to experience the so-called “bad beat”. But if you come to Bad Beat Brewing in nearby Henderson, you’re unlikely to drink a bad beer!. In true Las Vegas fashion, the owner and founder took a big gamble: he sold his house and spent every dollar in his bank account to fund his dream of opening a brewery."

"This poker-themed brewery has year-round beers like Ace in the Hole, a basil pale ale, and seasonals including Morning Pay Off, an imperial breakfast stout. Sample them in the tasting room while playing card games, darts, shuffleboard, and even an old school Nintendo. Growlers available to go."

"There is a reason that our family celebrates so many birthdays here- the food is great, the selection is huge & the customer…"

"Gordon Biersch features an onsite brewery where local brewmasters brew German lagers and American craft beers. a Golden Export, hoppy Czech pilsner, fruity Belgian tripel, and more line the taps. Online ordering and delivery available."

"Our on-site chef creates unexpectedly good food, crafted to complement the nuanced flavors of our beer. Gordon Biersch beer is made with German precision brewing that meets American craft..."

"The super-fun, passionate, and talented team at CraftHaus is enthusiastic to share their craft with visitors. The owners were inspired by the beer culture they saw while making their way across Europe, so visitors to the Artisan Booze District can have a truly international experience. Their beer is described as “traditional, but tweaked,” and the team is dedicated to building the Las Vegas craft beer community."

"Husband-and-wife owners, who claim to be partners in business and life, came up with the idea for CraftHaus Brewery while traveling through Europe (where many good ideas are born). And almost just as much as they love serving great craft beer, they also love talking about the craft of beer!. Their Resinate IPA is a year-round offering, but don’t skip over it."

"This Kickstarted modern spot allows customers to view the brewing process while sipping saisons, IPAs, and plenty of one-offs. Growlers are available, as are some cans. Tasting room in the Arts District as well."

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

"While there aren’t a ton of vegan options at Hofbrauhaus, the experience alone is worth the trip there. Being a traditional German/Bavarian beer hall, you can expect the beers to be as large as the portions and that rings true here. The vegan schnitzel is one of the better dishes on their vegan menu but they also have vegan frankfurters smothered in a curry sauce."

"Hofbrauhaus is a German restaurant that goes beyond your standard theme restaurant and delivers an entirely immersive experience. First, the communal dining environment means you better come prepared to make some new friends because the person sitting next to you at Hofbrauhaus is your new bestie."

"Tried ordering a new item on the menu, manager said we are out,, but I have the other kind available. I said ok, I'll take it. Got to the window, t..."

"The east side’s Donut Hut has been around since 1980 and fans there lovingly refer to owner So-Tee Seung as the Cambodian Rambo. The place specializes in classic doughnuts, but do order the blueberry doughnuts and anything with a cream cheese frosting. While only open in the morning, doughnut fans might be able to snag something later at night."

"Donut Hut has been open for more than 40 years on the east side of Las Vegas. The owner is So Tee Seung, nicknamed by Donut Hut’s loyal customers as the Cambodian Rambo. Donut Hut is known for its classic donuts, which are always flaky, fresh, and fall apart in the mouth."

"This is the hottest new attraction in Las Vegas that’s a mix of art, shopping, and food. It’s free to enter (though it requires tickets to control capacity) and there are plenty of murals and free art installations to browse. If you want to see certain exhibits, you can purchase tickets separately or as a bundle on the AREA15 site."

"Although the attention-grabber at the LINQ Promenade is the High Roller, there’s more to keep you rapt at the open-air retail, entertainment and dining district around it. Opened in 2018, Fly LINQ is the first and only zip line on the Las Vegas Strip, while there’s always a new pop-up attraction like 2019’s Tattoo’d America, celebrating tattoos and body art. Vegas-native Jimmy Kimmel has a comedy club to his name on the promenade, while there are more than 40 shops, bars and eateries at the dynamic marketplace."

"You'll be delighted by the fun vibe of the Strip's newest outdoor pedestrian promenade, where you can browse the latest LA fashions, gorge yourself on cupcakes, jaburritos (where sushi rolls meet burritos!) and fish and chips, go bowling, ride the High Roller, rock out to live music, or sip pints on lazy patios beneath the desert sun."

"This is a great spot to do some shopping, enjoy a meal and to find some kid-friendly entertainment including an observation wheel and ziplines."

"Run, don’t walk to the best excuse to head to Downtown Las Vegas for ice cream. This Hawaiian import inside the California serves tropical flavors such as Manila mango, Costa Rican plantain Cajeta, Mexican chocolate cinnamon swirl, and Philippine Macapuno peach sorbet. But do try something with macademia nuts."

"Another delicious addition to my list of best desserts in Las Vegas…. If you’re a fan of the humble churro, then you’re sure to love Chica’s Churro Fried Ice Cream Pops. For those who love frozen desserts in Las Vegas (and who doesn’t with all that heat?) this is one for you to try!"
