10 Best Breweries 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."

"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."

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

"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."

"That’s exactly what’s on tap at Lovelady Brewing in Henderson. The Lovelady brothers have strong roots in Henderson dating back to the 1950s, so giving back to their community was something they always wanted to do. And what better way to give back than craft beer?!"

"CraftHaus Brewery was founded by Dave and Wyndee Forrest, a husband and wife inspired by the craft beer culture in Europe. The brewery established the first taproom in the Henderson Booze District, emphasizing a social sense of community in place of gaming machines. A second taproom opened last year in the Downtown Arts District, featuring local artwork and a specialized Czech tap that controls the flow of foam to beer for an authentic slow-pour pilsner."

"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."

"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."

"Northwest ValleyThere are a few places with the same name in Las Vegas, but the Yummy Grill & Sushi on Lake Mead Blvd is the one you MUST visit at least once. It’s independently operated by a chef who mixes up the menu daily with fresh fish selections flown in from all over the world, including Australia and Spain, as well as Japan. Pull up to the bar, ignore the menu and let him prepare a personalized experience that on any given night can include a whole Maine lobster, live scallops, or octopus tentacles so large they might have been found 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

"Local Vegas favorite Yummy Grill and Sushi is a short drive off the Strip, in the western part of town near Summerlin. The relaxed atmosphere and more reasonably priced sushi are bonuses at this restaurant. A wide selection of sushi, sashimi and vegetarian rolls gives guests plenty of options."

"If you're looking for something dependable that has lots of options, then check out Benihana. This Japanese steakhouse and sushi restaurant is on the Strip, in the Westgate Hotel, ..."

"When looking for cheap places to eat, look no further than Benihana. Benihana might be a chain, but that does not mean that they are not also a festive and fun place to eat Japanes..."

"This local favorite is home to the highly Instagrammable sushi burgers you might have seen all over social media. With excellent prices and unique offerings (they also have a sushi tower and sushi pizza), you'll still have plenty of cash left over for the casino. Jjanga offers dine-in, take-out, and delivery options."

"Binoculars, fanny packs and Hawaiian shirts are optional but we’re more about getting into some of the free attractions sprinkled across the LVB (that’s Las Vegas Boulevard for all of you not in the know). Let’s start with some casino hopping. Amidst the singing slot machines and the bustling gaming tables, from the carpets to the decor, every hotel holds true to a unique theme. One minute you’ll find yourself in the chic and tech-y lobby of The Cosmopolitan and the next you’ll be among the Egyptian ruins of The Luxor."

"Another famous and historic piece of architecture by Paul Revere Williams is the Guardian Angel Cathedral, developed in 1961 on land donated by the gangster and casino owner Moe Dalitz, otherwise known as Mr. Las Vegas. When Williams began to work on this unique building, he decided to go with an A-Frame design, giving the church muralist a triangle canvas to paint the Guardian Angel on the outside of the building. You can still find the Guardian Angel Cathedral sitting close to the Strip, at 302 Cathedral Way."

"A four-sided spire capped with a cross is located to the front left of the cathedral. At its base is a statue of the Holy Family. There is a large mosaic over the main entrance of the cathedral by Los Angeles artist Edith Piczek."

"The Bagel Cafe is a bit of a drive from the heart of Las Vegas and the Strip, but the trip ends with a plate of breakfast classics, hearty sandwiches and full entrées. The venue brings the best of a New York City bagel café to the desert with house-made bagels and pastries, soft omelets, fluffy pancakes and crispy Belgian waffles. For later in the day, it offers a range of options, including potato pancakes, chicken parmesan and salmon."

"Apart from serving classic recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the café is known for serving delicious assorted pastries and cakes. All the cookies and cakes are homemade and are cooked to perfection."
