Just opened 3 weeks ago. Serving 6 month old Goose Island IPAs. I'm not joking, I was given a "fresh" The Illinois" bottle with over half a year of age on it in a 3 week old pub. The Green Line APA I was served from draft also tasted old. (For those that don't know, American style IPAs get their distinctive flavor from hops, and that flavor diminishes with age. For optimum flavor an IPA should be served with no more than 2-3 months of age on it... Old IPAs exhibit flavors of cardboard (oxidation) and unbalanced caramel and toffee from the malts. With American style IPAs, the fresher the better.)
Food is decent, but, a bit pricey for Las Vegas. Like most things at the Hard Rock, the space and the staff are attractive, and service is friendly. However, knowledge of their main product (beer) was sadly lacking. Any non-beer items require the waitstaff to leave the pub, as there is no kitchen in the pub itself.
For the beer geeks: The only reason to come here is if you want to try Goose Island Bourbon County Rare and are willing to pay the $100 per bottle price. Otherwise this place is a pass. There are much better beer destinations in Las Vegas.
