10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Lake Jacqueline

"The donuts at District: Donuts, Sliders, Brews basically blew our minds. The cookies and cream donut was phenomenal and the cinnamon roll was the best we’ve ever had anywhere. You can find these donuts in the Cosmopolitan Resort."

"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."

"After dinner, head back downtown to Tenaya Creek, a long-time Las Vegas brewery — it originally was located where PT’s Brewing is now. The taproom feels like so many of the nation’s taprooms: solid beer and low-key vibes, unusual for Las Vegas where most bars have gaming. While you’re in the neighborhood, you should check out the Neon Museum, which is only a mile away."

"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."

"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."

"We are a microbrewery/ tap tasting room on Fremont St. We have a 3 BBL brewhouse with all our beers being brewed on premise."

"It started with a coupon for a five-gallon beer kit and quickly grew into a full-blown operation in his garage. Hall developed his own recipes and tested them out with friends during UFC viewing parties. He was encouraged to open his own brewery -- which finally happened after selling his house."

"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."

"Rounding out the Henderson Booze District and one of the many Las Vegas breweries, Mojave Brewing’s founder spent 30 years brewing, drinking, and sharing his own beer with friends before starting the process of beginning his own brewery. His internships took him to some well-known and high-profile breweries before finally starting his own in the historic Henderson neighborhood. The tasting room has a patio and even uses an abandoned bank vault as a private tasting area for members of its Founders Club."

"John Griffith has been sharing his own home brews with family and friends for more than 30 years. Griff got so good at it, he was convinced to open his own place -- Mojave Brewing Company, renovated from an old Bank of America building in Henderson’s historic Water Street district. It’s an engaging, industrial space with roll-up, garage-style doors, bistro string lights, and a long patio where doggies are welcome."

"Able Baker Brewing is at the south end of the Arts District and immediately gets you with those awesome brewery vibes. Bright lights, big ceilings, colorful chalkboard menus, lively music, shiny brewing equipment, and ducks."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants Chinese. Like Lao Sze Chuan at the Palms, Aria’s Blossom is a crowd-pleaser. Its menu of about 100 dishes ensures that everyone will find something to suit their palate, whether that’s a familiar kung pao chicken or something more ambitious, like Natural Nine hot pot with abalone, sea cucumber, duck feet and lobster."

"The beautifully decorated Blossom provides the perfect background for the restaurant's fine Chinese food. Both traditional Chinese dishes and Americanized plates are served here, with the menu featuring 100 items to choose from. Appetizers include egg rolls, BBQ ribs, lettuce wraps and potstickers."

"With a friendly staff, amazing board games, and the famous pistachio latte, you’re in for a treat. This cafe offers a friendly and accommodating space for groups that want to play board games with friends and family members as they enjoy coffee, snacks, and light bites. The library of board and card games are extensive and good for all ages."
