1. Nevada Brew Works
Nevada Brew Works serves signature cocktails, craft beers, bourbon, and food in the downtown Arts District. Their food menu is substantial. Order chicken wings, cheese curds, brick oven pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches. In between bites, sip on one of their many craft beers. If beer’s not your thing, they have plenty of original, refreshing cocktails to choose from.
The owners are parents of a child with disabilities and are dedicated to helping others that face the same challenges. The Ariana Rye Foundation, named after their daughter, helps families of children with disabilities. A portion of every Ariana RyePA, and other featured beers, that are sold go toward helping children in need.

2. HUDL Brewing
HUDL Brewing is right next door to Nevada Brew Works; they share a large outdoor patio. These guys started out brewing in their backyards and garages! This brewery opened amidst the pandemic, and now they’re thriving.
HUDL has their original craft beers on tap, and they have some fun names. Try The Thirsty Turtle Pale Ale, Wrathful Rose Fruit Beer, The Flannel IPA, or Salty Swabber IPA. Also, try out their beer that was made using wine barrels.
In addition to enjoying local beer, visit HUDL Brewing to play games and participate in their Trivia Nights every Wednesday.

3. Able Baker Brewing Company
Able Baker Brewing was voted Best Brewery of 2021 by Las Vegas Weekly readers. Their name is a tribute to Nevada’s history of atomic bomb testing, which is also what inspires their beer. Choose from over 30 of their craft beers like Shiver Giver IPA, Chocolate Chip Honey Dip Stout, Atomic Duck IPA, Training Day Golden Ale, and more!
Fuel up at their Arts District Kitchen, which serves delicious snacks, burgers, and sandwiches that go great with their beers. The Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich, Fish Po’Boy, or Garbage Nachos will be necessary before your next stop.

5. Banger Brewing
Banger Brewing is owned and operated by five friends who grew up right here in Vegas. They began working in the hospitality industry on The Strip, and now they’re serving their delicious creations in the heart of Downtown on Fremont Street.
Their refreshing Summer specialty watermelon flavored “Sandia” is back as of July 1! El Heffe, the pepper-packed beer with jalapeno, habanero, and bell pepper is another favorite.
They occasionally host Bingo nights too!
