Chicago Brewing at the Four Queens

The Cigar Lounge in a satelite location of the brewpub that is located west of town. It is located within the 4 Queens casino downtown. They do not brew here, but instead self distribute kegs from the brewpub. * The small 10 person bar has machines built into it for people who want the action while they have a beer and a bite. They also have about 6 tables and very comfortable lounge chairs. They are located above the casino floor with a wall of windows so you can watch the action. I’ve yet to see anyone smoking a cigar here, but I usually go earlier in the day. * The beer selection here is not quite as good as the mother ship. They have the standards plus maybe one seasonal. The beers are of average to above average quality, which ranks them as one of the top places in or around Vegas. * The best deal here is to pick up a growler of their IPA. This is actually a double IPA and a growler with bottle runs $10. Add $5 for a full logo pint glass. There are no open container laws in Vegas, so feel free to take your glass and growler outside and enjoy it as you walk around the downtown casinos, or hang out on Freemont street, or even while you play the machines or sit at the tables. When empty come back for an $8 refill.

This is a small cramped bar on the second floor above the main casino in the Four Queens. Typical cigar bar with a few lounge chairs and a couch. The beers are very good with 15 oz and 22 oz sizes. If I remember correctly, the 15 oz are $3 and the 22 oz are $4. If you play video poker at the bar the drinks are free but the video poker is not full pay by any means. I had the quesadillas and they were average. The pizza is better. My favorite beer there is the IPA and the Hefe is very good too. A relative bargain compared to the strip but not as cheap as Main Street Station.

Small place, good food. Was busy on a Sunday early afternoon, but attentive waitress/bartender. Great food. We had the potatoe skins, garlic bread twists, and chicago style deep dish pizza. Got the 9 beer sampler, good variety. Most were good, plus they included their root beer, whigh was the best I’ve tried at a brewery, and might be the best root beer I’ve ever had. TVs with sports, just inside the casino.

Very cool pace on Fremont Street (old Vegas strip). Small but with a comfortable feel. Had the Chicago Dog (of course) and a couple pints. Cigar friendly but I didn’t see anybody smoking while I was there but it was early evening. Hard to beat $3 pints of IPA while in Vegas!

In the heart of Downtown LV, right off Fremont Street. Tucked in the back corner of the casino. Very dark, cigar friendly. They offer a nine beer sampler. I did not eat here, but the food looked good. Pizza and filet sliders offered. ... A dude asked for an All-Nighter, bartender replied, you’re staying at the Wynn ,right? Cool old school vegas vibe, although the Rootbeer had the best taste of what they had on tap.

Not a great number of beers to choose from, but what they have is very good. Had the IPA, one buddy had the Star Stout, and the other a Hefe-Weizen. $4.00 for 22 oz. mugs, great selection of cigars that you can smoke in the bar, and atop a casino in Vegas. Hard to complain about this place.

Nice little lounge atmosphere. Friendly bartender. On my second day she remembered what I had already had from the day before. Some decent brews.

A nicer, if small, cigar lounge over-looking much of the 4 Queens. The server was very nice. The sampler consisted of six Chicago brews, most were at least decent. Located pretty much right in the middle of the Old Strip downtown, it’s definitely your best bet on Fremont Street, although Triple 7 is just a few blocks away.

"We can’t seat you in the actual pub. They’re filming a Sweedish reality show in there today" So begins my visit to Chicago breweing at the Four Queens. Nice looking, from what I could see. Our waitress was extremely attentive and the food was pretty tasty.
