Finally got a chance to try Neon Desert Brewing, the Arts District spot which moved into the old Bad Beat location. I was quite a fan of Bad Beat and the people who ran it and was quite surprised and sad when they left for the Arts District but upon venturing in to Neon Desert after work last week, my fears were extinguished. Despite sporting new signage, the place looked almost exactly the same and even still has trivia Thursday nights, along with a themed trivia on Wednesdays. I got a chance to talk to the owner/brew master and had a short but delightful conversation with him about why he chose to move to Henderson and was able to get some insight into the other breweries in the area. Now, I say this in every brewery review I write, but I'm not a big beer drinker but could easily get behind the two that I tried here (Murican Lager and Pie Fighter). Murican was exactly how you would think it would be, light, crisp, refreshing, and totally crushable, similar to all of those tried and true American light beers but with actual flavor. It's the perfect beer for those hot Henderson days. Pie fighter was something different entirely, something I wasn't expecting, but something I appreciated. Neon Desert is a welcome addition to the Henderson Booze District!

They moved into the old Bad Beat Brewing (the old sign is still on the building, but the Neon Desert sign is on the door). Brewing up great beers and churning out two new ones every Friday, it's definitely worth a stop (and while you're in the plaza you can hit Crafthaus brewing too). Our beertender was Savannah and she was great (but then again she always is!) and she served us up a flight with four tasty beers (they also have a six beer flight). Stop in and see Savannah, say hi to Jimmy (the brewer) and grab a cold delicious beer.

Went to go visit Henderson Booze District's newest addition - Neon Desert Brewing, who just moved from the Arts District and into the place of Bad Beat Brewing's former occupancy, who themselves are currently in the process of moving to the Arts District. So this is a little switch-a-roo for them right here. Though it's Neon Desert Brewing now, some of Bad Beat's signs are still present inside and out, but that means it takes some time to get everything moved out. Everything inside was exactly like what it was when it used to be Bad Beat, for now at least. The only thing that was different here was their beer selections on tap, in which there were 13 on tap, and in their to-go fridge. We started off with a flight, with four beers each. We got the Dunkelzahn's Secret Munich Dunkel (#6), the Coconillacan Imperial Stout (#8), the Sin City Amber Ale (#9), and Mojave Brewing's Millions of Peaches Cider (#10), in which the Mojave Brewing selection was a guest tap. I don't like stouts, so my boyfriend ended up having the Coconillacan all by himself, describing the beer as a stout with a very chocolate-y flavor. The Sin City Amber Ale was ok, but the taste was a little too dark for me. I like the lighter beers better than the darker beers, so I really enjoyed the Dunkelzahn's Secret and the Millions of Peaches Cider. The Dunkelzahn's tasted like a Hefeweizen and the Millions of Peaches Cider was incredibly fruity. I also decided to take a four-pack of Hefe Vice City (German Style Hefeweizen) home with me, since they were having a St. Patrick's Day sale where all to-go cans were 17% off. I asked for a sampler of this first before buying it just to make sure that I would like it first. And yes, I did! I can't wait to try this in full when I get to it! Other to-go cans that they had available were Sin City Amber Ale and Neon Haze IPA. This was a great brewery to visit and I hope we'll get to come back again another day!

Glenn is the best bartender and the beer is delicious (and some special guests might get a brewery warehouse tour!!)

My old BB mug being honored by Neon Desert.  Lemonade in the glass, dunkel in the mug. No pics of the flight, oops.

We frequented Bad Beat while it was in this location and the new business Neon Desert were kind enough to honor the rest of their "mug club" memberships. We stopped by and tried a few glasses and a 4-beer flight to try their options. They were all wonderful, just like BB was before them. Flight: Sin City Amber, Scotch 80's Edinburgh, Cocconillacan, 11 Circles of Helles. Pours: Dunkelzahn's Secret (mug), Their raspberry lemonade (I don't think it was called Punk Lemonade) that was first tapped May 10th. All very good. The wife enjoyed the amber, which is rare for her. If it's not tart and fruity, she doesn't like it. She said it felt like a refreshing summer beer in her tastes. The scotch was great, I enjoyed the flavors. As expected, but done well. I'm a dark beer guy, and love stouts, but I'm NOT a coconut guy. The stout had a sweet forward coconut, a little chocolate perhaps, and then a finish that was a bit more bitter than the sweetness prepared you for. Wife liked the first sip, but not so much the aftertaste. I was the opposite. The dunkel was wonderful. Exactly perfect, exactly what I both expected and wanted. It was great. It was the kind of beer I could drink daily and not get tired of it. Her lemonade concoction was good. Tart from the lemonade, with a fresh strawberry finish. I thought it was good, but tarts aren't my thing. She adored it. Now let's talk 11 Helles. Wtf, I loved it, but I can see how many people wouldn't. I spoke with a brewer and he explained that they used whatever peppers were fresh and available. This batch was made with ghost, reaper, and pepper X--the hottest options. You order by spice number, 1-11. They dilute the full octane 11 to make your lower choices. I didn't catch what it was diluted with, another beer in the same class. I'm a spice guy. I eat ghost pepper and reaper sauce regularly, but I also know some of those sauces can dumb down the spice (still, few friends can regularly handle my sauces). This isn't a brag, just and explanation. At the brewer's recommendation, I started at 5. It was spicy, yes, but no more than what I'd consider an average hot sauce--my average hot sauce. The wife's eyes watered and she asked why I hated her. I went back up for an 11 because of morbid curiosity and natural heat-seeking tendencies. After the 5, I couldn't get much more spice or burn. It was good, it was hot, but it didn't feel twice as hot. Perhaps I was burned out. The flavor was great, honestly. It smelled almost like a jalapeno popper. A fresh one. Fresh pepper and something else, cooked. The flavor was pure fresh pepper. It was very good. My burn was experienced at the back of my throat. A high-heat but still comfortable burn, not anything like heartburn or reflux, but a spice burn at the bottom of the throat. I rather enjoyed it.

Heard about the bartender Kelly, and the rumors were true: She's awesome! Really enjoyed the Neon haze IPA and their pepper beer was FIRE. They also do trivia and comedy nights.

Beer District is another Arts District brewery. It's one of the newer ones around here. Kind of a small draft list but they're newer so it's okay. Has a few different kinds including the typical IPAs but also heavier ales. They have coffee too. I was around so I came in. It's a small place. There's not a whole lot of room. It's amazing they have as many beers as they do. What they have is also good. Also has coffee and they put it in the beer. Very good stuff. I like the BD Barrel Aged Wee Heavy. It's $8 for a pint. This is a Scotch ale, and it's heavy so yes it can surely fuck with you. Lots of funny names. They're clever and quite witty. It's worth it ordering just for these alone. They have the My Dog Ate My Homework Blueberry Saison. Also they have a few snacks in bags. It's not much but just basic snacks. They also often have food trucks.

So last brewery visit on this trip was Neon Desert Brewing and my 223rd brewery overall. When we arrived at about 4pm there were only a couple people inside. We grabbed spots at the bar and were quickly helped by the young lady working it. My flight included Heaven is Helles, The Litigator, Ain't No Fest For The Wicked, Dunklezahns Secret, Coconillacan, and I'm A Little Bourbon Nitro Stout. No individual reviews this time unfortunately which is actually because the reason I didn't was the people. The bartender ended up hanging out and chatting with us, then Jim the brewer came out. Very friendly crew here and the beer was very good. The Coconillacan and the nitro stout were probably my favorites. SWPFTD would have definitely enjoyed the fest bier. I heard rumors of Neon Desert moving locations so I hope when I'm back in the area I can track them down for a pint. And to the bartender, I apologize for not remembering your name but you were a pleasure to talk to. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you!

A Flight!

Ok so I finally got a chance to get in here and try some of the beers! I'll have to come back, as they have so many, which at first worried me, but as I was to soon find out, my worries were put to rest! Service was efficient and the two ladies working who are co owners were polite and friendly! I was doing flights, so I just started at the top of the extensive menu and started working my way down! Pretty much everything I tried was well made, tasty, and true to style! Some were just outstanding! I was very impressed with all of the offerings, and really enjoyed my time there! The ladies were so patient as I was there a bit past closing time finishing up my second flight! I highly recommend this brewery to anyone traveling to Las Vegas who loves good beer! It is definitely worth the 4 mile walk each way I made to go there!

Beer on tap

We wandered into Neon Desert Brewing on at Saturday night around 6:30. Besides our friendly bartender, we were the only ones there. If you really knew me you would know that I dislike beer. I had a great cider!!! My partner, loves beer, and going to Micro breweries. He had Chocolate Porter that he enjoyed. The place was clean and orderly. They had a lot of their own brand of beer on tap. Looks like a great place to go to gather with beer drinking buds.

Squidlett and hubs took me out for lunch today. So I got my old and creaky a** in their vehicle…read moreand we drove down here, located right off of Cheyenne and across from Mountain view . We got there around 12ish and only a couple folks at the bar and the waitres/bartender was dealing with large take out orders. The place is huge, separate dining area in the back past the bar. Traditional gaming setup at the bar(15 machines interspaced around) lots of high tops in the bar area and a nice patio around the building . I think the patio is dog friendly. So we ordered the variety show as an app. Gigundo pretzel filled with cheese curds, fried pickles, pigs in the blanket etc. ordered the cheese fondue as a dipping sauce. Quite frankly we were filled up just nibbling on that and we really didn't even make a dent in it. For the mains (we knew would probably just go home as takeout).... Squidlett ordered the BLT. (Must of had 8oz bacon on it) with fries. Hubs had the brisket sandwich with home made chips. The brisket was cut in cubes and short strips and was juicy and a fairly large portion. I had the perfect smashy, two patties with tomato and onion and sauce. Probably about 6-8 ounces of beef. Aldo with the homemade chips. Hubs and I each had a beer from their large selection. All in all, probably a 4.75 star meal but since they gave us a 20.00 sign up discount and applied a generous military discount, we were super happy and will definitely return. The bartender says it's busier in the evenings and depending what's going on across the street at the hospital. The have "hoppy hours" and DLL sorts of specials. A good place to pass a few hours me thinks!

Wednesday trivia night at Las Vegas Brewing Co. on Tenaya was such a fun experience! The atmosphere…read morewas honestly the highlight lively, energetic, and filled with people having a great time and getting really into the trivia. There was such a fun sense of friendly competition, with everyone laughing, cheering, and getting excited over the questions. It's a great way to break up the week and do something different on a Wednesday night. Definitely a fun crowd and a great vibe for trivia night -- I'd absolutely come back. Ps -The buffalo cauliflower was really good and reasonably priced

Despite ordering medium - burgers were dry, unseasoned and tasteless. Big flavorless hockey pucks with wilted lettuce and old pickles between low-quality, overly sweet bread. It boggles the mind how in 2026 certain restaurants still can't manage to make a decent burger. Cheeseburger fries were blah. Left 2/3. Left 1/2 the burgers too dry to swallow despite a ton of ketchup (pretty sad). You can tell the kitchen and management just stopped caring a long time ago. Wings rubbery - very disappointing. So many much better wing options off strip. Supposedly great view wasn't that great either. Just looking at rooftops and cars from up high. Kind of depressing actually. $140 for 3 burgers, 12 wings and 1 cheeseburger fries including tax and tip. No alcohol. Really sick of getting ripped off by these strip restaurants hyped by "influencers". Alot of these influencers have no idea what they're talking about. This is getting old real fast. Lots of these types of places are shutting down and rightfully so. Until these strip tourist traps start upping the quality and value they will keep dropping like flies. Fool me once.... Do yourself a favor, look for hidden gems off strip where the owners are present and actually care about the quality and value of their product.
