10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in North Las Vegas

"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."

"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."

"Find a dozen of Tenaya Creek's own brews on 24 taps along with bottles from other craft beers such as Joseph James, Deschutes, Left Hand, and Victory."

"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."

"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."

"Beer styles at this brewery, named for partner/brewer Michael "Banger" Beaman, are rarely conventional, with twists such as a jalapeño Hefeweizen or a watermelon wheat. Online ordering available. Find it at Neonopolis on the Fremont Street Experience."

"Spend a few minutes talking to The Mad Fermentist himself and you’ll come to find that he just absolutely loves craft beer. He’s well-traveled, having been born on an Air Force base in Germany and traveling through Europe for the first portion of his life, and those life experiences come through in all of his beer. Located above the Three Sheets Craft Beer Bar in the Arts District, The Mad Fermentist brews its beer down in Henderson at Mojave Brewing and has a pretty diverse lineup."

"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."

"Trustworthy Brewing Co. & BBQ at the Grand Canal Shoppes features small-batch craft beers from MCC Hospitality Group. Customers can book private brewery tours to learn about the brewing process in the five beer tanks that sit behind the bar and produce 1,150 gallons of beer. The 60-seat bar features a lighted movie sign marquee while oversized booths in bright primary colors and geometric patterns surround the space."

"Trustworthy Brewing Co. brings Its award-winning West Coast-inspired craft brews to The Grand Canal Shoppes as the first and only operational craft brewery on the Las Vegas Strip."

"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."

"Open just a few years, Lovelady is a relative newcomer to the Vegas brew scene, but already making a big, sudsy splash. Built from the ground up in Downtown Henderson, the company was founded by four brothers (and yes, their last name is Lovelady), who got their start experimenting with at-home brewing back in their high school days. It made them popular at parties, and the love for producing beer was hard to shake."

"This brewery in downtown Henderson offer patrons 12 different craft beers to choose from, including a Kettle Sour Ale choice along with more common selections like porters and IPAs. Patrons can sample beer with beer flights at $2 a glass, and each beer is labeled in chalk along the bottom of the flight. Online ordering available."

"This Henderson micro-brewery is dedicated to providing quality beers to the masses. The first taproom and brewery in the Artisan Booze District, there are several year-round brews and seasonal beers, and guest taps are also offered. One of the most retro Las Vegas Breweries, you’ll find tons of games like Nintendo, darts, cards and more to enjoy during your visit to the Artisan Booze District."

"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."

"Their Big Poppa Tart is over a pound, and the center is an entire blueberry ‎Pop-Tart®. They added blueberry jelly and crumbled more Pop-Tart® on top. There’s nothing subtle about Las Vegas, and Donut Bar wanted to make sure the same was true of the Big Poppa Tart."

"Without a doubt, Donut Bar in downtown Las Vegas has one of the largest selections of donuts in the Las Vegas area. They are also known for the sheer size of their donuts. Donut bar Las Vegas!!!!"

"My family came down from Salt Lake City, Utah and we decided to try the Donut Bar in Las Vegas. The donuts are humongous. The pop tart one is delicious..."

"The comfortable, easy-going atmosphere at Citizens Kitchen and Bar invites you to sit down and enjoy a tasty lunch with friends. The comfort food here comes in big portions, and it's as flavorful as it is big. For lunch, smaller appetites may want to stick with appetizers like the cheese quesadilla or chicken fingers."

Because of its location in a busy and lively part of town, Chow Mein House is a go-to restaurant for many, especially those looking for a good place to eat lunch. The food is great, and the establishment transforms traditional Chinese cuisine into modern and delicious dishes."
