Hazy IPA
Nick P.

Last visit to a brewery in the Arts District has been well over 5 months. So I wanted to try a new brewery and Bad Beat sounded good. I stopped in last night and had a Hazy IPA. I don't recall which one it was but it was very, very good! I could taste the Mosaic hops right away. The Citra hops was in the background but well brewed beer. They featured a new beer which was a blueberry/lemon hefe which was very tasty. The vibe was interesting. Still had Halloween and Christmas decor up but overall very spacious and cool. I definitely will be returning, possibly my new go to brewery.

Delicious beer with a very engaging bartender. Really felt welcome and was glad to be there. Couldn't stay long because I had a reservation down the street but if I didn't I would've stayed for another round. Downside- out of stickers. Have you really been to a brewery if you don't have a sticker?

Cute brewery in the Vegas art district- we love visiting new spots! It was nice and chill. You could have a nice conversation and try different beers. They did have some activities and games. Would recommend.

Beer and cocktails....? Yes please!

VERY friendly and welcoming bar staff. Their beers were OK. We didn't order any mixed drinks, but I've heard their chocolate martini is fabulous.

So now they are open and Rocking in the Arts District. The Brews are fresh and delicious! The Cocktail list is Banging so be sure to try the seasonal Halloween Drinks. DeAnna and Sarah are super gracious hosts! They passionately serve up some fabulous cocktails and Crafted Brews! If it's a working day you might see them actually brewing up a house specialty! They have a lot of space and a patio and they bring in food trucks occasionally! Stop in and support a Local Brewery! Tell em' Big Daddy sent ya!

Stepped into Bad Beat, when out at the Arts District. So glad we came here, the place is super cute and aesthetically pleasing.. not your norm for a on site brewery so it was nice to see that.. I was extremely surprised when I opted to try a mezcal/tequila drink instead of a beer.. usually mezcal tends to be overpowering but this drink called Ode To Oaxaca was super well balanced!! The bartenders were all super attentive and friendly! I really enjoyed coming here and we will definitely be coming back!

Relaxing darts away from the strip.

Great atmosphere, fantastic bartender. A most stop on all my Vegas trip going forward.

Is there any pup friendly seating for here?

THERE IS OUT DOOR SEATING

Do they serve food or small bites?

They sell potato chips. You can order food and have it delivered.

Do they have cider?

They do not unfortunately. I really want them to brew one but maybe bc it's closer to wine they won't. I hear that Grape Expectations a few shops down is working on one though.

Our waitress was super friendly and really encouraged us to try some things because we really weren't sure about the menu. She was super attentive and we really appreciated that. The reason I'm giving this a three star review (and I feel bad doing so) is because I genuinely hated the drinks. Like viscerally hated. The menu really was a struggle as someone who's a gin drinker. There wasn't a lot on the menu which I'm often used to, but the drinks were either cloyingly sweet or incredibly tart and bitter. There seems to lack of balance and there were a lot of really weird flavors that really didn't seem to go together. Now I can't speak on every single drink on the menu, but I did try a couple that are either premixed or on tap and I really struggled with them. I was excited about the ginger drink, and I was given a taste of their homemade ginger beer, and it felt like it was going to burn a hole through my stomach. Which is typically not my reaction to anything gender flavored. I just think the balance of flavors are not quite right and so certain things overpowered other flavors. I ended up really not wanting anything on the menu because everything was so rum based and I really don't like rum, so they offered to make me a cocktail with some flavors that I liked. They told me they had passionfruit, which I was really excited about. It usually is a really nice combination of sweet but not too sweet and good fruity flavor. I had a passionfruit gin drink made, and it was absolutely gorgeous coming out. Unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the passionfruit that they have is on the very sour and tart side (contained by a staff member later), which has never been my experience with passionfruit in the past. One of the things that I told the waitress was that I really don't like sour. I like citrus but not something that is so overly sour that it tastes like I'm eating a warhead. And the drink that was made for me had both lemon and this really tart passionfruit to the point all I could taste was this awful sour flavor. I felt bad and drank it and was not about to ask it off the bill because they were so kind about everything. The drink ended up only being nine dollars and I genuinely wonder if they undercharged me, but I felt a lot better that that's all I paid for it. Aesthetically it was beautiful, but it tasted horrible. I tried my friends drink, which was a play on a margarita with Mezcal, and that was also incredibly bitter and sour. I'm not someone who needs disgustingly sweet drinks, hence me not liking rum, but I do need a balance of sweetness with the other flavors. My friend thought her drink was OK, but she said she wouldn't order it again. I would definitely give this location another shot if I could figure out a drink that would work, but it seems their drinks either are very sour or very sweet and I'm hoping that at some point they will be able to find a good balance between the two.

Took the time to explain their process for making the ingredients used in their cocktails. Walked us through everything as he made our drinks. Cocktails were fabulous!

Next time you're in the arts district of Las Vegas, stop in and check them out. I'm not sure if reservations are required so check on that beforehand. Don't miss this spot!

The Burro Tropical comes with a little burro figurine that is yours to keep with purchase. I had two separate women come to my table and pointed out the donkey. I thought one of them was going to steal a chip but nope. They liked the donkey. I call him Ghost Malone. I also met a lovely woman, her sister, and her husband in town from Houston, Texas. We call her Martina. Much laughs were had. Ghost Donkey has multiple locations: Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, Omaha, and Phoenix. If you have one nearby, pop in!

The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

The atmosphere immediately took my wife and me back to our early adult years in the best possible way. The dim lighting, mellow crowd, and music all worked together perfectly, and somehow the playlist felt like it matched the crafted cocktails and overall vibe of the room. One of the things we appreciated most was being able to actually sit together and have a conversation without having to yell over loud music or a packed crowd. It felt relaxed, mature, and genuinely enjoyable--a breath of fresh air compared with so many bars that seem focused more on being loud than creating a good atmosphere. The cocktails were excellent, the bartenders were top-notch, and the entire experience felt thoughtful from beginning to end.

I will say that the aesthetic of the drink was super cool with the astronaut. My friend ordered from their regular menu. She enjoyed her Repo Espresso Martini and she would order that again! All in all, I still like this bar a lot! I would come back again.
