10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Potosi Mountain

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Nevada Brew Works shares a wall and patio with HUDL Brewing and is the senior member of the two, which is saying something since they only opened one month prior in September 2020. So still fairly new to the Las Vegas breweries scene. A tap list features a handful of their house brews and several guest taps as well, both local and regional."

"A dog-friendly patio with an eye-catching silo makes the perfect spot to drink an Irish red, Hefeweizen, or oatmeal stout brewed on site."

"Mon-Thu: 11 am to 12 am; Fri & Sat: 11 am to 1 am: Sun: 10 am to 12 am"

"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..."

"Scenic Brewing Company is a full-fledged restaurant with beer produced on site. Head brewer Jamie Roberts is in charge of at least 17 recipes at any given time. Any of these creations can be enjoyed in the main restaurant or the sports bar (currently restricted to limited seating) with food honoring the Austrian heritage of Scenic Brewing’s owners."

"Scenic Brewing Co. has a 8,879-square-foot craft brewery on the southeast edge of the Desert Inn Road and Durango Commercial Center. The locally focused and kid-friendly space offers 19 craft beers on tap, all devoted to Nevada microbrews. Five of the selections are created in-house, by Scenic’s head brewer Jamie Roberts."

"Pioneers of the finest ales, the Las Vegas Brewery, Astronomy Aleworks, is the product of four dedicated beer enthusiasts, including a local Las Vegas father and son duo. Family owned and operated, the team brews and serves delicious scientifically crafted local beer because of the dedicated astronomers who worked diligently to bring the stars and planets close to us. At Astronomy Ale Works in the artisan booze district, you’ll find quality artisan beers set to impress any ale-naut or astronaut."

"Located in Henderson’s Booze District, Astronomy Aleworkscreates “works of fermented art using keen scientific principles inspired by the hard-working men and women who labored to bring the stars and planets closer to our hearts”. Astronauts, for those who didn’t get the fancy wording. We sat next to one of the founders/brewers when we visited and he answered the question (from someone else) of “Why the name, Astronomy Aleworks?"

"One of the best parts of Las Vegas is the cheap flights running nearly round the clock. It affords the opportunity to extend a trip for a few extra hours for a bit more fun. The city of Henderson isn’t too far from McCarran International Airport and neither is its Artisan Booze District, which includes Crafthaus Brewery, Bad Beat Brewing, Las Vegas Distillery, and Vegas Valley Winery."

"Having just opened in October 2020, it’s the newest of the Las Vegas breweries. But HUDL Brewing Co is definitely NOT short on experience when it comes to brewing. The brewmaster has a long history in the industry, working with numerous breweries like Pizza Port and AleSmith in San Diego, as well as at the American Brewers Guild, where he took on many apprentices and has helped grow the craft beer industry."

"HUDL Brewing Co. offers 11 of its own beers on tap including stouts, IPAs, cream ales, and fruit beers. Of course, the beers can change all the time depending on what’s on tap next."

"When you’re looking for kid friendly restaurants in Las Vegas to go to for dessert, you won’t want to miss Cafe Gelato. Cafe Gelato features house-made gelato, along with pastries and smoothies that are sure to please any kid’s taste buds. There are over 50 different gelato flavors to choose form, along with gelato and even sorbet for kids (or parents) who prefer something a little different."

"Conveniently located alongside the Bellagio casino area, the Café Gelato offers an array of mouth - watering gelato choices that will tantalize your palate. Flavors such as Stracciatella,Vanilla Bean, Tiramisu, these are just a few off of their extensive menu."

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants The Strip. Mario Carbone’s shrine to Italian-American cooking may have debuted in New York, but its spiritual home is Las Vegas, where glamorous, over-the-top dining experiences have been par for the course since the wine goddesses started pouring at Caesars Palace. Here, it’s all about returning to the days when the Rat Pack ruled the Strip, people dressed up for dinner and seasoned waiters whipped up Caesar salads and bananas flambé table-side."

"Style, service, and an extravagant supper-club atmosphere If you want to "go big" with Italian food in Vegas, Carbone is your kinda place. With a handful of distinctive dining rooms, the spirit of the classic New York supper club is reimagined with teams led by knowledgeable and experienced service captions. The Caesar salad, squash agrodolce, and bananas flambe are all prepared tableside, offering a lively date night atmosphere -- although the seating can feel a little cramped at times."

"The concept behind Carbone is one that’s influenced by the Italian restaurants of the mid 20th century. Classic dishes are reinvigorated with modern culinary techniques. What you end up with is a menu full of beautiful, artistically created Italian dishes."

"Just like the Original New York Style Pizzerias, Bonanno's is known for its tossed brick-oven pizzas, baked ziti, spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parmigiana. Unlike the original, this one is also open for breakfast."

"Feed the kids for very little or find a lunch option that will not break the bank at Flamingo Food Court. Reliable fare from Johnny Rockets, Bonanno’s Pizzeria, and Pan Asian Express are waiting."

"Sixty-three stories above the south Strip atop Mandalay Bay, the view from the Foundation Room is as classic as it gets. The upscale, multi-purpose lounge serves high-end dinners in a dimly-lit, low-ceilinged space with layered rugs, rich textures and Buddha statuary scattered throughout. There are several bars, a big dance floor, rooms that house live music and live comedy, and then there’s the deck: Stand outside at the same elevation as Mandalay Bay’s glowing marquee, look north and and watch Las Vegas’s lights spread beneath you like a magic, luminous carpet."

"Stop by the Foundation Room and experience great panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip with its upscale casino hotels, high-end restaurants, shops, and attractions. Originally an exclusive private club for members only, this cocktail lounge is located on the 63rd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel right above the House of Blues. It has several bars, a big dance floor, and an upscale restaurant."

"Great views of the city come with the Foundation Room at the top of Mandalay Bay. Deejays and cocktail such as the Cucumber Zen, Perfect Gin & Tonic, or the Ginza Fashioned make the menu. The patio offers stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip."

"The restaurants at Wynn and Encore offer exceptional group and private dining with renowned chefs who are actually in their kitchens preparing your cuisine. Some chefs lend their name to a restaurant, ours call them home. With a large variety of cuisines and atmospheres to choose from, we can help you plan a social event, client dinner, company gathering, welcome reception or other occasion specially created to suit your group."

"Dine with a view featuring a 75,000 gallon tropical fish aquarium. The Chart House in Las Vegas specializes in fresh fish specialties, succulent steaks and slow-roasted prime rib; the talented Chart House chefs have tailored a menu that adds a unique touch to local flavors."
