Hop Nuts Brewing

This chill and friendly brewery in the Las Vegas Arts District (Brewery Row) offered a more local neighborhood feel compared to other breweries visited that day. The Haze of the Gods and Papa's Red Ale were both enjoyable. Recommended for those exploring the Arts District!

Great experience at Hop Nuts. I went in a little after they opened and the place was clean and had plenty of beer options. I took a seat at the bar and the beertender Debbie was chatty and knowledgeable about their beer. So after asking a few questions, and trying a couple of the more out there beers, I got a flight w/ 1 sour, 1 Red and 3 IPAs. All of them were quite nice, and I enjoyed all 5. The Haze of the Gods was my favorite, it had a really nice aftertaste that was different than most, but still juicy and pleasant. Would definitely go again.

Debbie, our bartender was phenomenal. She made great recommendations and was very attentive. The beer was very solid. Their Belgian strong ale was one of the very best that I’ve had. Debbie was very knowledgeable about her beers and made great recommendations for other facilities to visit. Check them out. You won’t regret it!

We enjoyed stopping at this brewery in the arts district. The bartender helped us choose different beets to try and kept straight multiple orders, including 2 flights. They have a nice outdoor patio that's shaded. We went in March, so it would have been nice to get some full sunshine! At any rate, we love visiting breweries and we enjoyed all the beers. It's worth a stop while walking around the arts district for sure!

Stop 2 of our self guided tour through brewery row... I give hop nuts 4 stars. While the beers here weren't my favorite of the day I did like the service and the atmosphere. The AC made the climate very hospitable while the music served to make you feel invited in and at home. The lighting is pretty dim in here and we LOVE that about this place. The establishment didn't feel claustrophobic but airy and safe. The pouted resin bar showcased brewing grains (barley) which added a nice visual texture to our experience Will definitely come back Will even bring friends

Located in Las Vegas' Art's District, this is a great local brewery. Here is where all of the brewing is actually done. While they have a second location in the valley, this is the main hub. My wife and I love their beer so much that we bought two kegs to serve the guests at our wedding. Don't miss this wonderful location!

I have been to several breweries in Las Vegas and this brewery is by far one of the best. They have a great selection and their beers are crisp and deliciously balanced. Their staff is attentive and amazing, and atmosphere is on point. Come say Hi to Liz when you're out on brewers row.

Visited in April 2015. A charming brewpub conveniently located near downtown Las Vegas. The ambiance is enhanced by lively punk music, creating an enjoyable atmosphere. Their selection of brews is decent, and the beers are deliciously balanced. However, after the weekend, they faced a shortage, leaving only four of their own beers available. Despite this, I would consider revisiting this spot.

We stopped by Hop Nuts on a Saturday afternoon. From the moment we walked in, Marcos (the bartender) made us feel right at home. He greeted us immediately with a friendly vibe and offered us beer samples to help us find something we'd enjoy. He gave us great recommendations and even introduced us to a beer passport (something we had never heard of before but thought was super cool!) It was my homies birthday, and Marcos went above and beyond to make sure he got the right drink. He hooked us up with popcorn and served up our beer flights with care. It was not crowded inside (maybe less than 10 people at the time). The ambience was good (music wasn't too loud so you could have a conversation without yelling). They had a good selection of beer, and the overall vibes were good. We bar hopped from Hudl and Nevada Brew Works prior to our visit here, and Marcos stood out with exceptional service (friendly and attentive) that felt genuine and personal. If you're ever in the Art District, make sure to swing by Hop Nuts ...

Great local brewery!! With very consistent house beers, great new rotating seasonal beers and a guest list of different beers. They also has wine and spirits. Friendly and helpful staff.

We stopped in for an after dinner drink and found we had the place almost to ourselves! The bartender was friendly but apologized that she didn't drink beer and so couldn't help with any recommendations. We tried a few beers and found them to be pleasant. The prices are also good, even when it's not happy hour. We will stop in again!

Marcos that guy ! Great hospitality. Great energy definitely appreciated the love & knowledge of the establishment. Very comforting!

Hop Nuts Brewing has a good selection of beers and a few guests taps as well. They also have a full bar with a nice selection of some good Whiskeys. The outdoor patio is nice and inside they have plenty of bar seating and tables. Big selection of board games to play so bring all your friends. The service was fast and friendly.

I have been back and the staff has been amazing. The beer is delicious, try the micheladas! One of my favorite breweries to visit when in Vegas!

Sunday. 3p. Not super busy. Good beers. Cool spot but darn, let down by the quality of the staff when i was there in June 2024. Beers will bring me back though!

Marcos was a great bartender and made us the best margarita we've ever had. Great draft options too!

Great brewery! Greta selection of beers and guest beers! Great bartenders! Must try! Casual atmosphere, outdoor seating!

Waitress speaks in English accent sometime which gave theater kid vibes, loved it . Huzzah! Nice place for a drink. Dog friendly, free popcorn with shakeable popcorn flavors. "You sound like you from London."

Great joint for a good beer, many IPA's but for me the blood orange wheat "main squeeze" was good, staff was friendly and informative

Again, almost 5 years later and another 5 stars! It's just great beer with great service! I took 6 friends and everyone loved the beers. The brewer was there and heard that we were from Denver, Albuquerque and Salt Lake, so said, "let's go learn about great beer!" He took us on a tour that was educational and fun! Thank you!

Atmosphere is all that. Had a dj- not sure if it's regular or because it was first Friday but that was a cool vibe. Beer was so refreshing, bartender was sweet and asked us or taste preferences which lead us to getting Blonde Ale.

I came her last night with my girl and my little sister. The atmosphere is chill; I like that they have board games available for everyone to grab. We ended up playing a trivia game together. We got a flight of beers and they were hella good, especially the pineapple one and the golden ale. Those stood out to me the most. The bartender, Andrew, was incredibly nice and friendly. I'd definitely come back here when I'm visiting Vegas

Here it is, brewery #185 for me. I'm rapidly closing in on 200 unique brewery visits. This was the first of three breweries in Las Vegas in an afternoon, the nice part was all three were within walking distance. Well, along with...three breweries in one afternoon! Hop Nuts had just opened when we arrived and only a couple of people were within the very good sized interior. We chose flights and sat on the patio to watch the People of Vegas walk by. Yes, it's like the "People of WalMart" but with beer. Now I have to apologize because I normally review the beers as I drink them but on this day I didn't. We were with friends we used to see 1-2 times a week and now we live 1,000 miles away from them. So in short I was paying more attention to the people in my life then a review on Yelp. Hey, I kind of have a life... So with that said I'm just going to hit the highlights. Chasing Clouds NEIPA was actually quite good. I do enjoy a NEIPA. When I ordered, The Wetter The Better, I winked at the wife and she just rolled her eyes at me. I think she might have caught the innuendo. This was a decent beer but honestly I just ordered it because of the name. The Harry Porter on Nitro was tasty. Nitro makes a good beer even better but certainly won't cover for a poorly brewed beer. This one was good and I would have gone with a second one, but we had more breweries to explore. Hop Nuts had good beers and the location was good as well. Great patio, which I expect is rocking on a weekend evening. 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!

This brewery had a bit of a divey feel to it. I also saw bottles of liquor behind the bar indicating perhaps this is a full bar? I enjoyed the Sierra Nevada sour I drank here. I saw quite a few locals coming here after their work shifts. So it seems this is a locals place.

As we wrapped up our Saturday night bar crawl at the Arts District, Hop Nuts Brewing was the fourth and final brewery that we visited. Unlike the rest of the breweries we visited along Main Street during our bar crawl, Hop Nuts Brewing was not busy at all and is a lot darker, dim, and quieter. This brewery is located next door to Makers & Finders and has lots of patio seating. We ordered a flight and it consisted of the following beers: golden ale, golden knight, stout, sour daddy, and 7 years. Personally I liked the golden ale and the golden knight. My boyfriend said that the stout tasted a lot like Guinness. The sour daddy was a good one too, it had a very sour fruity feel to it. Hop Nuts was a great brewery to end our night with. Will definitely be back again someday.

In town for a conference, and my brewer brother and his wife joined me for the week. I finally got part of an evening off, so we headed up to the Arts District to try some local brews. It's a standard brew pub that offers a decent selection of beers. Green Mamba Double IPA was really tasty - loved the hops load. The Just a pHaze IPA was a little too astringent for our tastes. It was really quiet - three or four locals, a table of visitors, and us. Overall a nice time was had by all. And some decent to really good beer. Isn't that what a brew pub crawl is all about?

This brewery definitely makes good beer and this bar, in particular, is a nice place to sit and have one of those good beers. It's kind of a weirdly spaced space but it's really good few a small group of friends or a couple (which is how I usually roll). Even when there's only one person working the bar, the service is so quick and efficient. I'd like to say the only thing I don't like about this place is the shared bathroom with next door but heck that isn't much.

Let me tell you a little about IPAs!!! This place was great. Came in on a Sunday morning this past weekend as soon as they opened. We asked for a stout or a porter lmao. The person working that morning was ammmaaaaazing. I walked in knowing nothing about IPAs, walked out with a good idea about my IPA preferences. Who knew there were so many spa's out there. One for everyone. We had a couple of tasters and some beers, had an amazing chat with the employee then left, bit not before buying another 4 pack to go. I will recommend to everyone!!

Came here after lunch at Esther's to keep the beer train going! Probably because it was the middle of a random weekday afternoon, the place was pretty empty and there was only one bartender working. Wide selection of beers. Chill on the patio if it's not too hot, though I opted for the air conditioned indoor seating. The beer was great, and the bartender gave excellent IPA recommendations. Will come back again next time I'm in this neighborhood!

I haven't been to Vegas in three years (thanks, Covid). One nice addition since the last time I was here is the emergence of several breweries in the arts district. Hop Nuts is worth the trip! I had a pint of the Golden Knight, a Belgian Style strong golden ale. Its slightly sweet finish is a refreshing treat on a hot desert day. I also sampled the Raspberry Truffle Stout, which would have been my choice if it weren't 100 degrees outside. The bartender was welcoming and the vibe is chill. I will be back next time I'm in Vegas!

Very cute establishment, although there is no food at the DT location. Service is always great and the bartenders are super nice. Great beer too.

It's an ok place. Lots of seating. There's shuffle board too. The beer selection is decent; we've never tried a mixed drink here so can't speak to that.

Great brews and ambiance. Friendly & knowledgeable staff always willing to provide a suggestion based on your taste. Clean place with low lighting and a relaxed, low key vibe. Good spot if you are looking for somewhere to have cold beer without all the frills the strip offers. We stop in every time we are in Vegas and it's never disappointed. Definitely worth stopping in for a drink or two. There a couple vintage/antique stores nearby to peruse.

It's nice to see the revitalization of this down town space. Breweries, antique shops, ant art projects. In this area, Hop Nuts seems like a decent place to stop and grab a beer from a wide selection, but on your way to the next spot. The options seem fairly wide, but when asked for some info on profiles other than what was posted, the bartender didn't seem to have much to offer. Similarly, the interior seems half finished with a bunch of wasted space. It's like Hop Nuts is just getting started and is hoping on the brewery tour buses to bring in the customers. At present, Hop Nuts doesn't have any charm or draw to really entice someone inside or even to come back when settled next to the other innovators in the area.

Hop Nuts is a terrific local brewery. It's located away from the hustle in the Arts District. This is one of the lower key bars you'll find around here. It has a pretty good variety in the drafts. The pricing is very fair. I met someone here and we both enjoyed it. It's not a large place. Large groups aren't good here, at least inside where there's only so many seats at the bar, along with a few tables. It has a good happy hour. It's only $4 a full pour. for a Most of the beers are in the middle of the ABV range. Among the lighter ones is the Golden Ale. This is a blonde ale. It's very light and smooth. The Golden Knight is a Belgian ale. This of course is best paired with a hockey game. For something more powerful try the Green Mamba. It's a double IPA. This is not my thing because I hate hoppy beer, but if for some reason you do then get this. Great happy hour. It's kind of small inside. They share a bathroom with Makers and Finders and you can use it to move between these.

First stop on our Vegas beer adventure afternoon. Starting out the day at Hop Nuts. Grabbed a flight and chose chasing Clods NE IPA, Harry Proter, Green Jamba, Golden Knight and Hoppy Gilmore. I was blown away by the Chasing Clouds, well balanced delicious. Check this out if you have a chance!

Great selection of IPA's and customer service! Come check out the Arts District near downtown Vegas

My wife and I visited here on September 18, right after leaving Able Baker Brewing. Instead of the light, fun vibe at Able Baker, the mood here is serious and dark. We were served by Malina, who was quite busy and very staunch. The beers were good but the service was lacking. Maybe Malina had had a long day. We ordered a Chasing Clouds NE IPA ($8) and a Green Mamba Double IPA HH ($6). The beer was almost as good as Able Bakers, but much more expensive even with happy hour prices. I liked Able Bakers beer and mood much more. Too expensive for good beer.

Nice selection of 15 plus craft brews. The brewer must know his stuff because the are on point. The server is great, Angela is really hustling behind the bar. She does a great job and makes great effort to share details and product info about each style. They will let you sample before committing to a whole pint.

Great little local bar and happened to be leaving Main and turned the corner over here to the car and parked in front of here. Did not even realize that it was a bar when parked here? It was like the car is on the same wave length as me?! So not making the car feel bad decided to check out and was so impressed! The staff was very friendly and pleasant. Great local little bar that know there stuff about beer. The bartender was excellent at educating me the patron about their brews and the local ones they offer . Decided to take the sample that was offered and it was incredible but still have to drive home so just opted for something with less of a bunch since I have been drinking prior to checking this place out. Will visit again it is a great little bar to come and sit and just enjoy the day, but I got big plans later .

I didn't expect to get as hammered as I did here. Hop Nuts is a local brewery in the Arts District. My friend and I walked over last night after checking out a new bar about a block away and decided to go for some flights (samplers). The flights are $12.99 for 5 different beers by Hop Nuts, i.e. not applicable to guest beers, but what we didn't know is that they do 6 oz pours rather than the usual 4 or 5 oz. An extra 10 oz of 7-9% ABV beer is pretty much a serving, so we definitely enjoyed ourselves. There were a variety of beers on tap, but printed menus and empty chalkboard slots hinted that they were lacking several of their normal selections. That said, I did enjoy the majority of the beers which I had, although only one of those truly stood out. In descending order, my preferences are Omnisicent Imperial Stout, Bine Climb Imperial IPA, Hopathon IPA, Harry Porter, 18b Pale Ale, and The Golden Knight Belgian Strong Ale. All were relatively typical examples of their styles, so I'll spare the descriptions on this review. I will consider returning to Hop Nuts next time I'm in the area, perhaps next time for the $4 full pours during daily happy hour, 4-7pm. I can't really go through with the 5 stars because if I had to pick a favorite local brewery, they wouldn't be quite in the mix, and I don't rank any of the local brewers as high as my favorites from other states.

My bf and I decided to explore the arts district and I am so glad we did. We found this awesome brewery and spent a few hours just hanging out and trying the different beers. We went during the day and it wasn't busy and were able to just sit at the bar , we had a great time. The brewery was really clean and the bar tender was he best, she recommended a few places to get dinner and listen to music.

Wow! My husband and I are from Washington and are obviously no strangers to IPA's. After all, over 90% of hops in the world are from Yakima Valley. I gotta give a shout out to Eric and the crew for brewing Nelsonator, which is made from Nelson Hops and is one of the more delicious IPAs I've had. Great little brewery and great beer. Would have left with a keg of this if I could, but had to settle on a crowler. Lol

Had a great time here during a pub crawl. Try the Harry Porter :) they have a outside patio that's really large and nice for people watching

Good beers, they have a couple of guest beers on tap along with their own brews. I like their Galaxy Smash. Has an outdoor patio and shuffleboard in the back. This area is cute and artsy - great for a family-friendly day and walk up and down the street. Went on a Saturday early afternoon with family and easily found a place to sit.

Bartender and overall staff are friendly! They're able to reserve seats for a large group. Unfortunately, they don't have a kitchen, but they allow you to bring your own food and utensils. It can become hot during the summer as they have minimal air conditioning. This location has a well lit patio and is located in the arts district. This is a plus if you and your group want to bar hop! Overall, I had a pretty good experience when hosting a surprise birthday for someone!

Went here this evening to get a growler to take home. Saw photos of them here in Yelp. Got there. Parking is a challenge. Growler at the bar on display. Orders three beers to see what I liked best. Settled on one. Ordered it, in a growler. "We don't have any. Haven't had any for a while". Well, drove there in Vegas traffic to get just that.

Lots of Hops here and a few nuts (us) showed up too ! Pub crawl with the family and we started at this brewery located in the arts district of downtown. Not too many people here on a Saturday afternoon but this was fine with us as we got to enjoy our beers comfortably. The interior is nothing fancy but they do have really cool old fashioned, leather barstools. The kind of barstool where you can just kick back and relax. My hubby and I enjoyed a pint of Papa's Red Ale. Creamy and smooth. The rest of the family tried the Belgian Wit and the Harry Porter. No one had a single complaint about their choice. The bartender was really friendly and told us about the owners and how the brewery came to be. The beer menu features a nice variety of craft brews including some IPA's. I am not a fan of IPA's but appreciate the concept. My hubby and I remember when micro brewed or hand crafted beer began in the early 90's. We have never drank anything less since then. It is great that the we finally have some amazing breweries popping up all over the city and the state for that matter. No food served here, only reason for (3) stars. Always good to have some munchies to compliment a tasty brew. This bar features a couple of dart boards, some board games and an area that features a show titled The Human Experience which is on the weekends. It appears to be a stand up comedy, poetry reading type of show. We may come back to check it out. The location is right next to Makers and Finders coffee shop so easy to find. I love how Main Street has developed with Rebar and Velveteen Rabbit within walking distance, this is a cool little spot to stop in for a cold one. We shall be back!

Hop Nuts is a little more low key than other places in this area. It's somewhat smaller. It's somewhat darker. They have shuffleboard. Basically, it's a good place to have a beer and hang out with friends, which is everything a brewery should be. They have a lot of different IPAs and a pretty wide variety of other beers, but I'd say they focus on the hazy stuff. Can't complain about any of the beers I had. If you want low key. If you want good beer. This is it.

This place had a dive bar type feel with the dark walls and dim lighting. We ended up parking in the back and weren't exactly sure we were in the right place until seeing the huge mural that is painted on the back of the building. We picked a door that luckily was the right one that took us into the brewery. They did not have very many beers to choose from as most of their chalkboard menu had lots of empty spots. The beers were tried were good but not great and I just wish we would have had a few more options. We enjoyed our beers on the patio and over a few games of shuffle board. Overall was a good first stop of the day checking out some of the Arts District breweries just would put them at the top of my list of the Vegas breweries we visited.

Very nice space in a cool neighborhood. I really liked how they merged the indoor space with the patio, and the long bar was great. The bartenders were nice and attentive. Several TV's on. They have a cooler for their beer to go. I tried four beers. Nothing really stuck out. They had a Belgian strong that was alright. Beers were a little pricey, I thought, but I don't really know how much most local breweries typically charge. They also do a happy hour. I would come back here to hang out. It would be a great place to meet a couple of friends to sit around and talk while drinking beer. If you don't like theirs, they do have some guest taps too.

At first glance the parking makes it seem like you're in the wrong place but follow the side alley to the Main Street and you will notice the main entrance on the side walk. The atmosphere is wonderful - comfortable couches and a beautiful wooden bar with local sports playing in the background. There's a front patio that you can sit out in and enjoy the street scenery and people watch if you would like. My favorite part was how friendly our bartender was. She had a thick foreign accent and was so welcoming when my party walked into the brewery. I would recommend this spot to anyone who just want to relax and get some brews with some friends. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. I will definitely be back.

Cozy spot with nice selection on tap. Flights available for purchase. Recommend the chasing clouds ipa (I think it was number four in the menu). Friendly staff.

Great service , great beer. One of the few things we enjoyed in Vegas. Well worth the Uber from our hotel to Hop Nuts .

Nice little local place to have a beer on a First Friday! They don't have food, but you can bring a taco in from outside. They have darts and some board games you can bring to your table. Nice outside area to sip a beer, but the construction taking place on Main Street right now kind of ruins it for you. It's like being in a dark cave if you like that kind of vibe.

First time trying beers from here. We had a flight + tried their passion fruit sour. Everything was very good. Even enjoyed Some types I typically don't care for (Harry Porter). Staff was friendly and the tasting room opens up to the outside via a large garage window. They don't serve food but they allow customers to order food delivery. I thought that was pretty cool.

I finally make it here (about) a year after they open.......and I could walk here from work! Dangerous. Their location is convenient if you enjoy Downtown. My visit started out with a yelp goodie- 6 oz taster with check in! Gotta love it! A friend who raves about this place loves the brew selection and was right about their nice variety. One of their guest taps, Blackberry barleywine, stands out as well as Hop Nuts red ale. Service was fine but with one bartender there will be some wait time. $4 pints at happy hour is incentive for a return visit soon!
