| - This is something Vegas needed or, at least, something I needed to find in Vegas: a really great beer bar.
Tap selection was not only impressive and prices very reasonable, but they have an electronic board for the tap list that shows the approximate QUANTITY OF THE KEG and changes its color from green to red when it's low. F'in genius! I love that and I wish more places would do it, because it just pushes the beer snobs like me to drink something we may have otherwise passed up, but then regretted not getting when they're out of it next time.
A nice round-up of pretty much everything good you can get in the area, including Sierra Nevada Narwohl, Stone Double Bastard, Maui/Jolly Pumpkin Sobre Humano, a couple of Speakeasys, a Dogfish, a Uintah, etc.
The food menu is actually pretty impressive too. They have a few pizzas, one of which has spaghetti on it. The bartender (who was really nice and helpful) insisted that it sounded weird but was delicious. We got an order of Beer Bites, which showcases their pizza crust, and is served with a homemade, mustard-based sauce. The sauce was a little weird, but I love that they're trying something unique. Bread itself was excellent. The people next to us got a pizza... Food envy...
I'm a beer bar guy, but I also like sports. And they have lots of TVs. This is a problem at many beer bars who often have no TVs or maybe one, in a corner, with a 14" screen. Why can't I watch a football game while drinking an excellent craft beer? So this may be exactly what I want from a beer bar.
Downsides are, of course, the smoke. They also get a pretty weird crowd for a place that serves what could only be called "gourmet beer." A lot of MIller Lite bottles passed around while we were there. Didn't think much of the music either, but I'm probably more snobby about that than I am beer.
Staff were awesome. Really can't say that enough. Willing to answer annoying questions and give tastes. Very knowledgeable about the beer. They also have a pool table, but it's in a separate room, so it's not really noisy.
I also have to give props to the bottle selection. They have an enormous menu and a cooler full of specialty bombers that they've collected and will sell for a collector's price. If you have someone to share with, I would recommend going that way, if you can resist the taps (which is tough), because it's just that good.
