Gordon Biersch - Las Vegas

No Longer In Business

Visited 27/6/2018. Big place, slightly remote from main attractions in town though fairly close to my hotel. Quite decent atmosphere including some live music going on outside on the veranda. Had 10 of their beers available when visiting and chose the 5 sample selection (which is actually 6 as it comes with an extra 'servers selection' for decent price of $5. Quality of the beers was fair to pretty decent. Service started quite poorly but improved a lot. Food smelled good but didn't eat here.

As typical as every other GB brewpub. Nothing special.

Visited August 13, 2014.

Stopped in for dinner after a conference before getting back on the road to head home. Nice place and far enough off the strip that parking is possible again. It’s in a shopping center but right off the main road. Inside, like all Gordon Biersch locations, is a long room that is very open with a brewery at one end. As always the food is pretty good and the beer is OK. I went with a burger that had "bacon jam" on it along with a fried egg. Pretty good and after ordering it medium rare it came out medium, which is better than most places. Beerjames had the bourbon-sauce covered salmon. They were out of the seasonal so they had two of the brewmaster specials going which were the double IPA and a blonde bock. I tried them both but ended up going with a glass of hefe. Nice place all around and very similar to all Gordon Biersch locations in that they have good food, pretty good service, and decent beer.

Classic sportsbar/brewpub setup. Only asked about their own beer, which is limited to six different. Food is really nice, so is the service. Would definitely go back.

Sit at the bar. Hopefully Billy or Matt are Bar tending. Great Food and decent beer. Off the Vegas Strip always busy mostly locals. I walk a mile just to come here for food and beer.

Visited for dinner shortly after arriving in Vegas. Easy to find on Paradise, behind the strip. Easy to get to with a car, plenty of free parking. Would be a bit of a hike from the Strip hotels, but not too crazy. Typical GB layout, primarily restaurant focused, though this did have a larger than normal rectangle bar in the middle. Outdoor seating was open, and very pleasant. Normal range of GB beers and food menu. Prices were GB normal, not Vegas strip normal, which was nice.

70 = ★★½ (Locals should check it out, visitors with extended time)

I only use the total score, not the component parts.

We had my sister’s Las Vegas wedding reception in their backroom and it was perfect. It was fun, they kept the beer flowing, the food was great and they had a decent selection. I find Gordon Biersch well crafted and very exact beers. They strive for clarity and excellence for a brewchain. I liked the inclusion of unusual varieties like Vienna and Bocks. We had a lot of fun for this special event so I cannot comment on the whole of the bar but if the service for our event was a reflection, I’ll give GB an excellent rating.

Nice atmosphere, good food, definitely a better value than most places around the strip. Decent selection of German-style brews. If you go expecting a decent hefe, bock, or pils, you won’t be disappointed. If you want adventurous/exotic craft brew, you won’t be finding any DIPA or imperial stout here.

The only thing that I felt was worth the time or money during my entire Vegas experience was this place. The beers were reasonably priced at $5 (versus the common 6-8 elsewhere for worse beer), with the sampler at $5 featuring a generous 5 pours of about 3-4 ounces. The food was solid, the atmosphere was calm and relaxed. There were no video poker machines built into the bar, no flashing blinking lights, none of the gold covered crap-fest that is the rest of the city. Not too far from the strip, some solid lagers, good service, tasty food.

Stopped here and found a very nice restaurant / brewpub. Lots of people making lots of noise. A fun place. Food was good. Beer was pedestrian. Our waitress was not well informed. Decent beer, slightly better meal, but a nice atmosphere.
