Banger Brewing Company

No Longer In Business

This place closed a couple months back without much of a peep. On the old Fremont strip, in a dirty little air mall. Quiet most days then insane on weekends. Industrial, brewing window, tables scattered all about & the worst color of brown. Formica & steel, sort of retro lit up bar. Styles were mostly American, crap sours, solid adjuncts, a wow beer now & again. Honestly the bar is so low in Vegas that they were definitely top 4-ish in Vegas. They almost always had on their coconut pale that was just so on point. Pints started around $5 & didn't go insane. Ambiance wasn't much, service was solid & informative. Dirt Dogs next door is the ultimate drunk food. What really old me on this place though is the bartender I always saw here sort of knew Flava Flav because their kids go to school together & they'd always be waiting & together. He's a humble, old mini-van driving nice dude in person apparently.

Right on Fremont St, next to the Heart Attack Grill. The place is rather run-down and trashy but pleasant enough -- on a Monday evening when we went, there were few others there. Flights available and/or 5 oz pours of everything. Of the 4 we get, 2 were pretty blah, and 2 were excellent (the black IPA and BA impie stout -- especially the former). Bartender was fairly useless, forgetting a few of our requests. Seems they are capable of brewing some excellent beers, but also churn out some nonsense. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Visited March 2022. I guess I didn't realize this place is right in the Fremont Street Experience and right next to the Heart Attack Grill (which had a huge line outside), so it was kind of slammed with tourists even during a random time of day and the staff seems to be kind of worn out from dealing with throngs of idiots all days. The place is quite small, but luckily I was able to get in and find a seat. Just did a couple quick tasters as I was not terribly confident about the beer quality. Fortunately, the couple things I tried were pretty decent. I don't know if I would come back here just because I wasn't a huge fan of the vibe and the crowd, but they do make a lot of ticks and they seemed to be okay.

Sunday afternoon, 20th February 22. Headed here after a pizza at Pizza Rock. Got challenged for ID at the door, which I didn’t have, but the guy decided to let me in for a beer any how. The list is long, all their own stuff, it’s quite commercial as it’s right in the tourist area. The beers were all pretty good, nice IPAs and an imperial stout, worth checking

A bit smaller space right on the Fremont street (at the beginning of it). Tanks outside, small patio, larger bar with several of their won brews. Flights available. Prices definitely fine. All in all, a nice spot to stop by when in Vegas downtown.

Medium size space, good WiFi, dozen own beers on tap plus few guest taps and bottles, service a bit spotty as one bartender would rather talk about sports than pour beer; flights of 4 own beers available

This is right in the heart of Fremont Street so I wasn't sure what to expect. They manage to keep the focus on the beer enough to prevent this from merely being a ploy to cash in on the endless stream of tourists. While not wildly experimental, the beer list isn't overly safe either. I went with the Irish red which was solid. Of course there are a few TV's around, but most of the ambiance is created by the brewhouse. A little food stand was out on the patio serving up varied plates of fries and such.

I finally made it here. I've tried to stop here many times when driving through but the times never worked out.
Bar with about 10 seats and a dozen or so tables. View of the brewery from any table. Good beer. Friendly service. Flight of 4 is $10. They have food available but I didn't try it.
