Went here twice actually. First time was about in the evening. I circled around in the place a few times, could find nowhere to sit at the bar and the smoke was so thick I left without ordering anything. Second time went in at about 11am. Less smoke (but it’s still present and obnoxious) and more seats. The bartender at Gordon Biersch told me to try their Hefe, and it lived up to his recommendations. At $1.50 for a 16 or 20oz, it was even better. The stout…not so good. Couldn’t stomach more than a few sips, and gave up on ordering any other beers as the smoke was getting to me. But the prices are good if you can handle the atmosphere.

Lunched there in June. Steak special for 6.99 included a beer. Unreal deal. Would go again in a heartbeat

Another brewery in a casino. Sampled 8 of their beers for free if you sit at the bar and play the slot machine, actually ended up leaving with a profit. Place has the feel of an old casino, dark inside, smoky at the bar. Beers were ok, but nothing crazy. They also served me a hard lemonade made with one of their beers. Service wasn’t memorable, it’s Vegas, and not the strip. Value is great even if the beers aren’t, considering you get them for free at the bar.

This is a casino that brews beer. Service is excellent and they are very friendly. It is also dirt cheap. I was kicking back with their Hefeweizen at $1.50. They also gave me a free deck of cards when I asked for something with their brewery name on it. Unfortunately, their ventilation system sucks and it is incredibly smoky. Minutes from Ballys and worth a quick stop.

This place was smokey, dank and not a brewpub by any stretch of the imagination. The beer was cheap, pretty good and something that I could walk to. The bartender was nice and let me sample all of the beer for free. I had three beers, and my total bill with tip was 7 bucks. 1.50 a pint. Great deal, but not the nicest place.

This is my favorite place in Vegas!However, if you’re looking to have a wide variety of fine beers to sample, stay away. This ain’t that place. If you like dive bars come on in. The casino is dark and old, but the dealers are awesome and helpful. Zero attitude here. I first stopped here about 5 years ago because it said microbrewery, but that aspect passed quickly. There was a BBQ special listed cheap, that included a beer, so we tried it. The BBQ special is only served in one little area inside the casino, and on the patio. It is not in the regular restaurant. We tried it and loved it. We go back every time we are in Vegas, like twice a year, including yesterday. I had the full rack of ribs, with toast, corn, beans and slaw, and my brother had the half rack and chicken. I drank the adequite Pale and my brother had the Hefe, which he said was good. The total bill for two, including beer, was $19 and change. This place rocks.

This is a low rent casino with dollar pints. Don’t come here for the beer, come here for the massive plate of decent BBQ for little money.

A short walk from Bally’s. It is a tiny little casino with a bar doughnut holed right in the middle. Open BBQ dining to the side. They had 5 beers to offer and a rootbeer. Looks like a local dive.

Old looking building inside. Kind of a dive. Brews were priced right, only a buck a pop. Beer was pretty sub-par though. Bartender was friendly. I had no problem getting my drinks quick. I was there pretty early though.

I’ve been to 4 brewpubs in Vegas now (if you count Sin City as a brewpub-- a stretch), and this ranks quite far below the others. It’s not far off the strip, only about a 10-15 minute walk from the Flamingo. Upon entering, the first thing you notice is that the place feels dim, with its burgundy walls and ceilings. It is much more smokey than any other casino I’ve been in. There is a "smokefree" restaurant adjacent to the actual brewpub, separated from the smoke filled casino by a waist-high divider! You can purchase the $1 pints here, or from the central casino bar, or from an old-school Goodfellas-type lounge at the far end (all red shiny leather and big brass studs and dark walnut trim). They were running 6 taps when I was there, featuring the Gold Lager, Light Lager, Hefe, Stout, Amber, and Hard Lemonade. There was also a non-alcoholic rootbeer selection. All the beers were below average, some far below average. Didn’t try the food. It’s remarkable that they have signs plastered everywhere that read "Voted Best Microbrewery in Vegas 4 years running!". Who’s doing the voting?
