| - Fremont Street has many bars. I'm glad that we spent time at this one.
Corduroy seems to be a relatively new spot in the Fremont East district of Downtown Las Vegas. We may have been attracted by the colorful animated well behind the bar, but we stayed to check out of some of their craft beers on tap.
Mind you, they didn't have anything utterly groundbreaking, and a few of their taps had the mass-produced "popular" beers (not to mention the array of stuff for cocktails and shots which surely were also popular), but they do have some draft crafts if those are what you're into.
My friend and I just so happen to be in that crowd, so we enjoyed a couple of brews which happened to be $7 each for something in the range of 12 oz pours. My choice of Stoutello by Knee Deep Brewing Company was a nice milk stout, but instead of the promised chocolate hazelnut, I picked a light peanut flavor. I enjoyed the beer, but the marketing was misguided.
My friend picked up the Evergreen Haze by Novo Brazil. It so happens that I've had it before, and there's definitely a tropical/citrus thing going on in this American, non-hazy IPA. I enjoyed it roughly as much as the first time.
We both totally rocked out to the music. Not classic rock stuff, but the bands which we grew up on, like blink-182, Taking Back Sunday, The Killers, and Panic at the Disco (well, he may have a differing opinion there). I'm not sure if that music is on regular rotation or if it was just the preference of the DJ for Friday night / Saturday morning, but we had a blast while sitting at the windowsill and sipping on beers.
I'll definitely have Corduroy in mind should I end up on another bar crawl in Downtown Las Vegas.
