The BrewDog brand sprung from humble beginnings. It was just two guys from Fraserburgh in northeast Scotland bottling up some pretty-darned-tasty craft beer, but consumers quickly discovered it and drank it up. Just one year later the company expanded to the largest brewery in Scotland.
BrewDog also began exporting to Sweden, Japan and the United States, and by 2015 BrewDog set up its first brewery stateside in Columbus, Ohio. And the end of 2022 marked a big one for the brand, as it opened its first West Coast location, BrewDog Las Vegas.
“We are one of the most epic BrewDog locations I would say, second largest in the world—the other one being Waterloo (United Kingdom),” says Bernadine Griffin, BrewDog Las Vegas sales and events manager. “We have the most epic views of Las Vegas with 360-degree views on our rooftop terrace.”
And the views are definitely epic—you can see the lights of the Strip and the valley beyond while enjoying lounge-like seating across the 30,000-square-foot terrace. Inside you’ll find plenty more seats, including bar-top spots. BrewDog also has a floor below called the Brewery Tap Room with made-to-order, pub-style food including their popular pizzas and wings. On this level there are games galore, including pinball, shuffleboard and board games. Back up on the rooftop terrace, guests can indulge in more elevated food, including a 1-pound ribeye, lobster mac and cheese and 8-ounce wagyu burger. BrewDog also offers plenty of vegan and vegetarian dishes, too, like the flame-grilled eggplant and cauliflower tacos.
And let’s not forget the beer. “We offer some of the most delicious, crisp beers and cocktails you could want,” says Griffin. That includes three popular picks: Elvis Juice, “a very crisp IPA with a tangerine taste to it”; the Hazy Jane, another IPA with “very fruity, mango, tangerine, citrus flavors with a little bit of a haze, hence its name”; and Lost Lager, “a pilsner that’s a very crispy, clean refreshing beer.”.
When it comes to cocktails, there’s more than a dozen beer cocktails to choose from, but we suggest starting with a classic and tasty pick-me-up, the espresso martini with Absolut Vanilia vodka, fresh-brewed espresso, BrewDog Jet Black Heart stout and simple syrup. Or go total Vegas with the Punk Star martini with Absolut Vanilia vodka, passionfruit liqueur and sour mix with a glass of BrewDog’s Punk Star beer on the side. Don’t fret about what other beers to try—BrewDog has 96 taps on hand!
The vibe of the place is aided by music pumping through the speakers on both levels, and guests can enjoy live DJs on the weekends and special events with live bands playing on the terrace. With the hockey and football playoffs right around the corner, this will surely be a top spot to cheer on your fave team.
If you can’t decide where to go today or tonight, put BrewDog on the top of your list—you won’t be disappointed.
