Tenaya Creek Brewery

This was our first time here and I like the laid back vibe of the environment. They also carry a selection of beers from other breweries which I thought was interesting. You can bring your own food or order delivery. We’ll be back.

Awesome beer selection with something for everyone. Great place to hang out with friends or make some new ones !

This place is awesome! Excellent atmosphere and brews! We love it! Staff is really friendly too.

The new location is surrounded with high fences which made me slightly uneasy. I’d been to their previous location many years ago, and was looking forward to revisiting their brews at the source! One fine Friday eve proved to be the lucky day. I joined my 2 coworkers who had a head start and liked the place right away. Nice selection of brews, I liked their Bonanza Brown and Local 702 ale, and the décor is pretty decent. Also lots of guest taps of many varieties!
My second visit was less than 2 weeks later for the Lagunitas INVASION event. They had 3 or 4 Lagunitas on tap and some giveaways like T-​shirts. They had a good crowd for the event and I would go back for another tap takeover and to have the Tenaya sampler, which is pretty big! They had food available both times I was there, once was a food truck outside and the other time it was prepared and served inside. Outside seating is available and inside is nonsmoking.

Awesome time at Tenaya the past few Fridays! Great beer, great friends, awesome bartender & great pizza from the food truck! We’ll definitely be back!

This place is a great addition to our city and I’m glad they moved a little more central but it’s still hard to get there without driving.
The bartender was very helpful on a busy night he still took the time to recommend brews. I personally liked the Kolsch which is a coffee pilsner from Banger Brewery.
The night I went there was a private party so I didn’t get to see the cool stuff in the back but I will be going back. They have corn hole games and food trucks park outside everyday. I highly recommend this new spot.

Oh wow, I cannot believe this place has so few reviews! I LOVE it! Tenaya Brewery does not feel like your typical Vegas brewery, it has a slightly hipster-​ish feel to it with a LEGIT beer list. Their beer offerings are top notch, truly impressive. They sell Founders beer from Michigan! I don’t know w whole lot about beer, but for my money, they have some damn great brews on tap.
I have been to the brewery several times for their trivia, which was a lot of fun. We won, cause that’s just how I roll ha ha ha and it’s cool because the gift certificate you receive is good for a year. I am told that several places in town force you to use it on trivia night or weird stuff like that so I appreciate that they don’t limit you. They do not serve food but a bunch of places downtown will deliver. Might I suggest pizza from Pop Up Pizza? They have an amazeballs pizza with potatoes (I know, right?) that pairs nicely with hops. Also, the food trucks that serve food on trivia are spot on. The poke bowls from Zia Foods hit the spot.
Definitely come support our local brewers!

In a nutshell: come in, grab a beer, and enjoy the company!
The new location, located in a bit of a commercial/​shady neighborhood, is actually really convenient for almost anyone in town because it is central. And once on site, there wasn’t any riffraff to make you uncomfortable.
Seating: There is bar seating and table seating indoor and outdoors. It’s a bit limited, so I imagine people standing around chatting with their drink in hand on a busy night. It’s ok, as this is a bar :-)
The ambience: they don’t serve food, no gaming, no indoor smoking (bonus!). But you can order food from one of the food trucks that frequently park outside (they have a calendar posted on their website saying which truck and when) or order something be to delivered. There’s outdoor seating with ashtrays for the smokers. They offer bar games such as shuffle board, golden tee, and Cornhole for your enjoyment. It’s well lit and has a welcoming/​lets hang vibe that you would want/​expect from a bar serving only craft beer.
Service: there’s a bartender to pour you a glass, but you have to go to the bar and put in your order. There was one bartender on the day we went, and he was quite helpful in offering choices for our tastes.
The beer: of course the most important part. I like their brews. I tried the local 702, which has a bit too much of a hoppy taste for my pallete, but not bad. The lager, which is my goto type of beer on any occasion and my favorite at this bar. The peanut butter brew, which is dark, very smooth, and delicious. Definitely worth a try, even if you’re not into dark beers (I’m not), as it is really good. And finally the hop ride, which my hubby liked the best, and as promised has lots of hops.

I came during the «Grand Opening» of their new location on Bonanza. It’s only a few sketchy blocks from Fremont Street downtown.
They had a band. They were serving beer where you’d pay with tickets. Two food trucks were present. A drone flew overhead. Lots of people having a good time.
I look forward to return to sample their and other’s beer. A real nice set up here.

We ordered the sampler which came with 11 different beers. An incredibly affordable deal considering the quality of the beer. I was particularly impressed with the Pilsner, the IPA, and the porter. The oatmeal stout was good, but a bit too bitter in my humble opinion.
The brewery itself was very inviting. There was plenty of seating and the bartender was incredibly friendly and efficient. Even as the place filled he kept pace and there was no waiting.
Next time you are in Vegas check out this brewery. They sell 22 oz bottles, growlers, and a selection of canned beer if you want a roadie to take back to home.

Great service Brian was a great bartender! Very knowledgeable and very friendly, definitely coming back

I love the beer here. Now that the new location has no smoking and no gambling, it’s even better. Very clean and open atmosphere. The bartenders always treat me well. Happy hour is 3 – 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.-12 a.m. daily.

Gotta love the bartender! That «deadlock, pony tail» guy. Super friendly! No food, except for the food truck, and tonight’s truck was awesome! Great beer selection, nice wine selection, no smoking or vapors, which to me is a huge bonus, and no gaming. .eh, whatever. Sure the location is questionable, but get into the parking lot and you’re fine. Come on in, enjoy the brew and atmosphere. You won’t regret visiting this little gem!

Great selection, new facilities a great afternoon stop off strip. No food with exemption of food trucks scheduled mainly in later afternoon & evenings. But don’t let that stop you!!!

The new location is amazing! The focus is solely on what is important: the beer! Gone from the old location is the video poker machines and the heavy cigarette smoke. They have also greatly expanded their guest tap list from 2 – 3 to 16! The bartenders, especially Brian, are absolutely amazing, and it is about 20 minutes closer to my house to boot! If there is a downfall, they no longer have a full bar, but when you can choose from 25+ beers and a handful of fruit ciders and wines, why do you need a full bar? If you need to do shots, fire back a shot of the 10.6% ABV Old Jackalope barley wine.

Great new location. They moved in November 2015 to a nice area and a much better space. Staff here is great (hey Brian!) and a nice selection of wearables and glassware. Really happy to see it.
As always good to see a great selection of both their beers and other ‘guest’ beers. They do a great job.
Highly recommended.

Hate the raised tables and bar stools. I like to lounge more comfortably in a chair while enjoying my favorite brews. Their beer selection is some of the best and if it wasn’t for the damn bar stools I would give them 5 stars.

I had a long elaborate funny poor review of the bartender not the location as it seemed welcoming and we’ll done. …My wife accidentally erased my witty bad review. Sooooo… long story short. Ponytail Dreadlock man totally ignored us! He sucked… he needs glasses… we wanted to spend money drink Hope Rides and tip well… we waited and waited… then we left and had a great money spending beer drinking night on Freemont Street!

Love the new location! Finally a joint that’s all about the beer in Vegas. Well lit and super clean. Get out of your dive and step it up a notch at Tenaya Creek!

I’m huge fan of the new Tenaya Creek location. The interior is spacious, clean and modern looking. I look forward to the warmer months to be able to spend some time on the patio while sipping a Hop Ride. The view of all the characters in the area will provide hours of entertainment seeing that the location is built smack dab in the middle of Vegas’ own skid row. Maybe this is a start of great new things to come in this neighborhood.
I will be back to Tenaya creek very soon to sample some more of there great beers. The parking lots is large enough that they might be bale to invite a food truck or two and allow some of the patrons to snack and drink a little longer.

A friend took me to this brewery. Great place to try some craft beer. The had a wide selection of their own craft beer and other brewers craft beer. If you like craft beer, give it a whirl.

I love Las Vegas with all the good, bad, unsightly, and just plain hideous.
I LOVE the story of Moulin Rouge and I get chills driving by it on Bonanza.
Now, I normally drive by as quickly as I can, because I’m a chicken, and corner of Bonanza and H after dark scare the living day lights out of me.
Until today! While doing my usual flight down Bonanza, I spotted Tenaya Creek brewery! Right there, in the flesh, in the sketchiest part of town possible!
I don’t know when or how this happened, but respect to the ones that made it possible. I pulled into the lot, got out of the car and patronized the night away!
Kudos for opening a bar in such a scary part of town. Cheers to doing it across the street from the former legendary Moulin Rouge. Salute for serving delicious beer and board games!
Now, there’s no food… no gaming… no smoking, the bar is open only till midnight… ok, so I don’t smoke or eat that much and rarely stay up past 11. But I like having an option. It feels weird without it.
At any rate, welcome to DTS, Tenaya!

New location is non-​smoking! The smoke was definitely a factor at the old location. I couldn’t be happier with the shift in atmosphere. Same great staff plus a few new faces (mainly Corey from Banger) and the same Tenaya Creek brews with the addition of lots of guest taps. The only downside I can think of is the fact that they moved further away from my neighborhood. Can’t really fault them for the location of my house.
This is a beautiful facility. The countertops are cool and I’m digging the absence of gaming machines. There is a merchandise area with some amazing smelling candles in repurposed Tenaya beer bottles. They’re $ 25 each and they make great gifts for out of town guests looking for unique souvenirs. The coffee scented candles in the Hauling Oats bottles are the best. The view of the actual brewery is pretty neat too. You can watch the canning process while you sit and sip.
They still do 2 for 1 growler refills on Sundays and Trivia on Wednesdays. All the same cool things from the previous location minus smoking, gaming, and pool tables… which IMO, they do just fine without.

Same old familiar faces, brand new tasting room. The Vegas beer scene continues to expand and that is awesome for everyone. #drinklocal

What a fabulous experience here! We came and got a flight of their beer and was able to speak with Cory, who was a great person to talk with! Really enjoyed the beer and experience!!! Highly recommend to come and drink at!!! Thanks for the wonderful experience of craft brew!!!

Great start. Very solid beers. Good tap list too

A little glass of heaven!
Seriously this new brewery is amazing; it feels like so many great SoCal spots, but smack-​dab in Las Vegas. The style of shop, the knowledgeable bartenders, and the huge list of beers and wine is what really makes this place special.
The location is definitely a little sketchy, but the parking lot is gated and huge so there no need to worry about street parking. The inside has both seating at the bar and tables for larger parties, along with an outdoor patio and a tasting area that has a great view of the actual brewery.
My beers of choice for the first and certainly not last visit were Tenaya Creek Old Jackalope Barleywine, Abominable Pale Ale, and Tenaya Creek Tandem Double IPA. The Pale Ale was a solid first choice; very light and great way to kick start my palate. The Tandem looks light, but it has a subtle kick on the back end of flavor, this was definitely a beer that I could sip all day.
The final beer was total palate crusher, in a good way. Tenaya Creek Old Jackalope Barleywine, this 10% beauty had a very bold flavor and an even stronger aftertaste and in most cases this is a one and done type of beer, personally though I loved it.
They don’t serve food, but you can have food delivered, so it’s all good. Yes, come here, drink here, and stay here.

Fortunately got to visit the old location before they relocated, and the new location is very, very nice! Small, but modern. Of course, all their brews are available. I will be definitely be coming here more often!

I liked the old location for its convenience, but WOW the new place is nice! They just need some restaurants closer

The new Tenaya Creek is excellent! No more gaming! No more smoke! In addition to their already awesome brews the guest taps were outstanding. I hope their new venue will contribute to improving that downtown neighborhood (avoid the D Street exit if herds of homeless people scare you).

I’m giving it 4 stars based on a few things. The lack of a pool table or 2, and I’m only saying this because the last tenaya creek had pool tables which I enjoyed. It gave you something to do which in turn would cause you to stay longer. Another thing I don’t like is the lack of food. You don’t have to have a full menu but a few snack items and things to munch on go a long way. Also the music choice is sub par and not because of the music but because it’s XM (which I love in my car) but I don’t want to hear their «Sirius XM» add every 5 minutes.
Other than that, the beer selection is great. They have a few wines for the ladies which is a nice touch. But having no liquor makes it a difficult place to come to with a large group of people as inevitably there will be 1 or 2 people who don’t want to drink beer or wine.
Overall nice ambiance, good prices, but seems like a place to grab 1 drink, not 3 or 4.

It was our first time in the new location. It’s very spacious and elegant. I love love love it. Nice long bar, no gaming, which leaves more room for conversation. In a bit of a sketchy and random area, but it won’t stop us from coming down. I love that it has more of a brewery feel than the old location.

I stopped by this past Sunday during the soft opening. What a great facility! I sampled a couple of the beers and they are as good as I’ve ever had.
Lots of tv’s for viewing games, but this definitely is not a sports bar. I think I’m already hooked.

This place is great! The old place was nice, but had turned into more of a gaming bar. It’s nice to get a real brewery (even an old one relocated) downtown that has some fantastic brews on tap as well as an amazing atmosphere. I can only see this place getting more popular and more successful over time. It looks as though then even have room to expand in the warehouse section!

Oh exciting; I get to be first to review at the new location!
So if you never saw the old location, sucks for you. This location has some damn charm, let me tell you. Once you get inside, it’s no longer a bar anymore with gaming like it used to be; it’s now a classy-​ass tasting room. It has tons on tap, no smoking, and a merch section now! I am particularly partial the gorgeous artsy glass on both the exterior and interior, the branded tables, and the smooth new bar. Also, no bar is complete without purse hooks, which they have.
The bathrooms here are exquisite. Call me biased, and I don’t care, I may be since I’ve been coming for years, but this location is STUNNING.
Take a peek in the back too; pristine. Also there is nothing quite like sipping on a beer around sunset whilst checking out a city landmark across the street. You’ll have to come here to find out what it is, I’m not going to give it away!
PS: if we’re going to talk about favorite beers… Hop Ride is my go-​to, Jackelope if I wanna get tossed, and for seasonals, Dutch is my fav with Belgian yeast and Red Ryder is my fav «once a year». Huzzah, and stay thirsty, my friends.
