While this wasn't our first choice of a place to stop in for lunch after touring Hoover Dam, we are so happy the Food&Drink Gods were looking out for us! The beer is exceptional. I'm not a huge micro-brew aficionado but what I had, I really loved. I ordered the Shandy and the Cherry Wheat and Wow! We had the MegaWatt sliders with a house-made pineapple and jalapeño cream cheese and it was incredible. The Hot Dam burger and Pub Salad were also outstanding. But the most incredible thing, was the service. Very friendly...got our drinks and food out quickly and continued to check in with us. The place was also very clean and the staff got tables cleared and sanitized quickly. Highly recommend. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Despite reading a lot of recent negative reviews, I was optimistic I would leave here with some positive things to share. Unfortunately, that is not the case. We were seated immediately but waited at least 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us at our table. I had to flag down a waitress to get drinks. The beer that I ordered was not available, as were several beers, but there was no indication of that. It took another 10 minutes or so to get our drinks. We ordered food which was mediocre at best. Our waitress did not come over once to ask how our food was. When we finally ordered a second round of drinks, we waited another 15 minutes for them to arrive. Assuming it would take a long time to get our check, we requested it immediately after getting our second round of drinks. Our check came right away and suddenly our waitress kept coming back. I'm all about leaving positive reviews on Yelp and almost always do. This place has so much potential but was absolutely horrible. If you're leaving the Hoover Dam and looking for a cold beverage, just keep driving! read more

What a find! Tasty craft beer--6 of their own brews and 12 guest taps--delicious food, and entertainment. Plus we had a rare treat of conversation with the brewer who was working behind the bar. Overall our beer critique was mixed, because on this visit we preferred the guest taps. But hey, $10 gets you a sample of all six house brews. Sweet deal. And fun. Food highlights: - hand-packed certified angus burgers - they roast their own turkey, which made the club sandwich delicious. - hand-cut fresh potato fries Large outside seating area perfect for groups. read more

Not a bad place. If you are a beer drinker, this will be a great stop for you. The interior has a great brewery smell to it. The staff is super helpful and the food is pretty good. The burger to bun ratio is a little heavy on the bun, but I think the flavor made up for it. Try the Hot Dam Burger, it is flavorful, but won't make you cry. The fries were a little overdone, but were seasoned well. If you are in Boulder City, swing on in and give it a try! read more

Service is EXTREMELY SLOW. Once we ordered food it was a 45 minute wait to get our food. Asked for the bill 3 times over 30 minutes. Food was ok but be prepared to spend an excessive amount of time here. read more

Well, we decided to drive out of the city because we heard great things about this place. The beer selection was great and enjoyed 5/6 of them. Aside from the booze, they are pet friendly and also bring out water for your pooch upon request. We had gotten wings and chips with queso that did not disappoint. Now, the food took forever to come out the kitchen. I mean a long time. We didn't complain, we just enjoyed the ambiance of the place. The person running the place did apologize for the wait and mentioned he only had TWO people running the kitchen that day. I was already thinking the food was going to be sloppy and lack attention but NO! The fact that the food was AMAZING down to every last bite given the circumstances will definitely have me coming back. The only thing that threw me off was we kept having to ask for ranch because it was being brought out in tiny cups 1 or 2 at a time and weren't very big, the poor waitress was running laps. Overall, this place is amazing. Looking forward to going again. read more

I've had better experiences at Boulder Dam Brewing but this last visit was a tad embarrassing. I suggested this spot after a hike with my boyfriend's family because I like the patio better than at Dillinger's (both are pet friendly). Well, the patio is still better but not much else. None of the beers sounded very appealing so I ordered a La Fin du Monde that they had on draft. This was good. We also ordered a sampler flight and the stout among us. The stout wasn't very strong in flavor and rather flat. I did enjoy the cider-y beer they had in the flight. For food we ordered the nachos and pretzel to share and one in our party ordered the wings. They were out of both sweet potato fries and wings, so he had to get the boneless. The boneless wings looked like over fried popcorn chicken. He didn't finish the dish. The nachos weren't much better. The chips reminded me of the kind you get in the packages at the movie theater. The cheese was also of that variety. The rest of the toppings were a bit odd, especially the lettuce which was soggy and too big for a bite. The best choice was probably the pretzel. I've had a good patty melt here before so I know they can do better but apparently they were slammed Thanksgiving weekend and it showed. I will say the staff was friendly and apologetic about their lack of inventory but this definitely wasn't a meal I was proud to have recommended. read more

Visited for lunch before thecrowd. Sat outside and waited, no server came out. Had to go inside to place my order for a burger with fries, no cheese. After a long wait got my burger, WITH CHEESE and cold fries. The server did not come by, so I had to flag down another server and ask for hot fries. After 20 minutes, got a plate of fries that were lukewarm and greasy. Had to flag down my server to get my check. Very poor service and mediocre food. Disappointed and don't recommend at all. read more

Will come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Love the atmosphere. Beer is good. Food is good. I don't recommend coming during lunch rush, they are very slow, it took over 45 minutes to get our food. Our waitress was fabulous, Annabel was absolutely fantastic! She helped us, she never gave us an excuse! I will come back, but definitely after the lunch rush! read more

We stopped by after spending the day at Hoover Dam. We are seasoned beer drinkers and always enjoy trying out the local brew when visiting a new place. It seemed like the locals were watching the football game while enjoying some beers. I had the hells hole hefeweizen and the hubby had the powder monkey Pilsner. Despite just having lunch we ordered the buffalo tater tots too The beer was cold and full of flavor and the tots werent too spicy. The service was good too. Its a great watering hole. So stop by when you're in town and be sure to check out the cute downtown area read more

My family come here all the time. We love the food and the beer, and at times the service has been less than efficient, in recent times it has improved, substantially. I have always meant to leave a review but always forget...after my experience this weekend I made sure , this time, I did not. It was a busy day at the pub, with The Damn Film Festival happening as well as the normal Sunday crowd, it was packed. 45 to 60 min wait for outside 20 for inside. Normally its seat yourself, but the hostess said they were asking we wait to be seated. So after waiting about 20 mins I went in to see where in line we were...as I walked in a group of 6 older ladies walked in and passed the hostess and tried seating themselves, at which point the hostess told them, not today ladies I have a list of 5 tables waiting to be seated and they would have to wait their turn... which I appreciated her being on top of. The ladies then made there way towards the bar, then passed the bar to another person and tried to seat themselves yet again, which angered me due to my kid was starving and we had already been waiting, but the hostess caught them, reminded them that they had to wait, that other people were waiting and they needed to wait their turn...they left! Ya! I have to say I appreciate it when people has the integrity to stand up to those doing wrong. And it's even more important and impressive, when that person is a young adult and is teaching a person that should know better, be better. Thanks guys! read more

Came to Boulder City for date night and bar hopped around. The bartender was very friendly. We ordered fried pickles. I'm not a fan of fried pickles spears , I'd rather have pickle chips . But they were good. You might have heartburn after, because my bf did...bad. The boneless wings were crunchy and delicious. The beers were good. If you check in you get a coupon. But we forgot to use it lol! read more

We stopped here for dinner when visiting the area. We travel with a dog and the patio seating was large and the service great. Typical bar food but my Blue-ery turkey burger was tasty. My husband loved the hand cut fries. read more

I came down here to kill time before seeing the Red Mountain choir perform down the street on Wyoming Ave. Boulder Dam Brewing Co. is settled in cozy downtown Boulder City, and they have everything imaginable from beer to food.

While spending a day in Boulder City, we visited the Boulder Dam Brewing Company to try out their house brews and some appetizers. It was a beautiful day so we elected to sit outside on the patio to enjoy our refreshments. A friendly waitress brought our menus and tableware and took our drink order. Even though we had just received our menus (drink menu included) we usually like to start with our preferred beverage types and my choice was the Hefe. After receiving our beverages, we decided on the pretzel bites and fried pickles. What was cool is the pickles were spears with light breading and served vertical. This was great since the majority of the fry oil was drained. The pretzel bites were warm and soft. Both were served with sauces that complimented the dishes. The pickles had a great balance with the breading. The pretzel bites were light and fluffy with good taste and the honey mustard was delightful. The Hefeweizen was thick and had a great balance. Very little aftertaste made it pleasurable. Our server was very friendly and the patio was a nice environment. Our timing was perfect as we arrived on a Monday after 4PM for "Hoppy Hour". We enjoyed our visit and recommend. read more

Just had lunch there. We came in, it clearly says wait to be seated at the hostess stand. Well no hostess anywhere to see. Then the bartender that also is the server comes over and tells us anywhere. No hello, how are you, nothing. Does not make sense at all. And being friendly brings you way further. Our appetizer, breaded fried mushrooms were pretty good, but the other food was nothing really amazing. I had wings and they were so dry, like they already had them fried before and did fry them again. Normally when you get fresh fried wings they are smoking hot till the inside, those weren't, just warm but cooked through, so I figure they have just been reheated. I also had a salad with my wings and it was more trash then a salad to eat. It was already brown on half the lettuce, how can you serve a salad like that to your customers? My husbands burger was nothing amazing either, it was also only 3/4 of a burger, since a big chunk was missing. It's not worth your money. To bad that they counts on tourists, and think well they don't come back again anyways, what's with us locals? If they had a little more passion for the food it would be great. read more

Had a good time here. They do allow dogs but only outside. My favorite here was the Rattlesnake Bite. It was very refreshing. I also tried the Mozzarella Sticks and the Fried Mushrooms, these were both tasty. The staff was very friendly and attentive and thanks for bringing the dog bowl for my dog's water. The only reason I knocked it down a star is because there was a lot of flies outside that day. Not sure if that's a usual thing or we just happen to be outside at the wrong time. The Hoover Dam is like 10 minutes away if you want to see something cool. read more

So sad I have to leave this review. My husband and I loved going here but something seems to have changed. We went in, it wasn't super busy and we're ignored and not seated for about 10 minutes. No waiter/waitress in sight. The bartender finally came out and sat us. Once sat we waited 10 or 15 minutes and we're passed by several times. No one even acknowledged us or took a drink order. We tried to give it a chance as we've eaten here before and loved it. But to be absolutely ignored was just upsetting. We went to another restaurant in town, just as busy, and were seated and taken care of immediately. read more

Highly recommend! Huge outdoor patio (brought our dog). Great service. Good selection of craft beers (plus Bud Light). The bratwurst was next level, the fries were amazing. My husband loved his pastrami sandwich. Both on nice bread rolls. Nice historic ambience in charming downtown Boulder City. read more

I've been coming this brewery since I first moved to Vegas in 2007. And, sadly, I still have yet to be impressed. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad. It's just not amaze. I will say that I think the beer and food have improved over the years. The service, however, seems to have gotten worse over the years. The beers are all just fine. But none make me want to have another pint or take some home. The food is alright. But there are so many better places to eat in the BC. But if you don't want to venture elsewhere for food, the food here will do ya ok enough. I personally like the pretzel. read more

The burgers and fries. Delicious! Our server was very friendly and informative about the menu, we definitely will return!

An all around disappointing experience. The only good things I can report is there's outdoor seating so you can bring your dog, the French fries are delicious and the beer was decent, other than that, this place sucks. The service is non existent, at least for us it was and the burger I had was tasteless, overcooked and dry, I had to drink my beer with every bite of that burger. I ate it because I was hungry, but I will never come back to this place. read more

We were super bummed out with our experience here. The only reason I gave them a second star was due to the fact that our server was very apologetic about all of the ways things went wrong. Otherwise, this was a one-star experience. To begin with, the food was not very tasty. The chicken wings had no flavor and the burgers were just "meh." But had that been the extent of it, I still would have given them three stars. I ordered one of their lunch salads from their menu. Our nice server came back to tell me they had no chicken to put on my salad. Ooookay. No chicken?? But fair enough. Covid is still happening and businesses run out of things. So then I asked if they could substitute salmon and he said, "Sure!" Ten minutes later he came back to tell me they didn't have salmon. I was still ok with this and just asked them to add a hard-boiled egg (an item offered for salads on the menu) and some avocado. At this point everyone else in our party had their meals. Ten minutes later he came back to tell me they had no hard boiled eggs. At that point everyone I was with was halfway done with their meals, so I said I would just take the salad I originally ordered. When everyone else was done eating, they finally brought me a side salad (which I didn't order) along with the wrong dressing. Everyone had to wait an additional 10 minutes while I quickly shoveled down a mediocre salad that I didn't order. It was one of the worse restaurant experiences I've ever had. I understand that restaurants are struggling with Covid and doing their best. But no one came out to apologize or offer up something else. So, I will chalk this up to a learning experience and never take my family to this establishment again. read more

The Good: Beer is consistently solid & occasionally very good. I quite enjoy the High Scaler pale ale; not too light & nicely refreshing. The I'll Bee Dammed honey blond ale is dangerously tasty; very drinkable in ways that mask the 7% ABV, so be careful. The Brown Mild has a nice body to it, and its malty-focused flavor holds up well, but the Cream Stout is only OK, heavy neither on the cream nor the stout. The Bad: Food is typical for brewpubs, nothing to get excited about one way or the other. Some menu items (e.g., sliders & sammiches) look interesting, but they're the typical cooked-meat-on-bread with some homemade sauce-with-a-twist. Perfectly edible but nothing to write home about. The Ugly: The personalities of everyone who works in the place, well frankly, suck. -- One barkeep (an average-sized blond guy in his 20s) literally walked away without even looking at me the minute I sat down. -- Another bartender (a smallish dark beauty with a lot of hustle) paid little-to-no attention to me, even though she passed at least a dozen times. -- The manager on duty (a larger guy with a slicked-back mohawk & a lot of tattoos) served me and was good at suggesting beers & making sure my glass wasn't empty. Other than that, he practically refused to talk with me, choosing instead to stand at the end of the bar and stare into the middle distance. I'm OK with not becoming best friends with the people who work in a pub, but these folks came ALIVE with certain guests (locals? regulars? friends?) who showed up drunk, drank more, and cursed loudly at the bar. The atmosphere's a bit off-putting for a place that's supposed to be an historic landmark in a destination town. read more

Had a great dinner here with good friends. Fun atmosphere, fantastic food, crisp and delicious onion rings, and nice refreshing cold drinks. Service was spot on and the waitress recommendations hit the target. Will definitely return next time we venture out to Lake Mead. read more

Stopped by after playing in the lake with our pups. The owner was awesome and provided exceptional service. Reccomend Ed great beers. The wings and onion rings were excellent! Highly recommend! read more

Okay, it's a brewery. I watched as they concocted interesting drinks with their brews. As for my poor choice in ordering lunch....salad at a brewery is probably something I should know has a high probability of being bad. The "orange" chicken salad was pretty bad. I used orange in quotes since I was unable to detect any orange flavor whatsoever. Greens were less than fresh but the worst part was the chicken which had the consistency of leather. I'll be picking that out of my teeth the rest of the day. Hubby had a burger. He said it was okay. That makes sense, burgers & brews. My bad!! read more

Super disappointed! Had been here once before and it was great. Went back tonight and everything had changed! The food was just awful! Service was terrible, and even the drinks were bad!! The sangria was made with jalapenos and smelled bad. They did not have any other liquor besides beer, wine, or the stinky sangria. I opted for water. The cheese curds and salmon sliders were good, but the clam chowder was very thin and tasted like salt water. The butter cake had been microwaved to the point of rock hard, and though it is usually served with ice cream, they were out. The server had an attitude issue, and never came back with our check. We had to go inside to find it to pay. read more

I had Boulder Dam Brewing Co. bookmarked for a long time, so we finally decided to venture to Boulder City to check it out. I seriously doubt that we will be back. While the beers we tried were good, the food was awful, and the service was lacking. Let's start with our arrival. When we got inside, we were told that there were no tables available because two large parties had reserved them all. You would think that they would have a 'Closed for Private Event' sign posted if all the tables were reserved. There were also no stools available at the bar, so we were about to leave when were told that we could take a round table that was pushed right in front of the bar because the large parties would not be using it. They found us a couple of plastic chairs and we claimed our table. It's a little bizarre that they use outdoor patio tables and plastic patio chairs indoors. I saw lots of food going through the large gaps in the basket weave table tops. Beer: It was hot out so we tried a couple blends that sounded refreshing. The Shandy $3.00- was half powder monkey pilsner & half lemonade. The Rattlesnake Bite $3.50- was half powder monkey pilsner & half hard apple cider. Both were 'dam' refreshing. haha. This was the highlight of our visit. Food: Papa Burger (no bun) w/ side salad $9.95- the salad was pretty pathetic: lettuce, shredded parm, 1 tomato wedge & red onions. The menu says that the burger is "1/4 pound Angus patty topped with cheddar cheese and smothered in our thick, rich chili". Let me tell you, it did not taste better than my attached picture looks. I don't think I would have fed this to a dog. The chili was dry and didn't taste like much besides old & burnt and I seriously doubt that the patty was 'Angus'. I took one bite and could not take a second. It tasted like fat & grease & gristle. It was inedible IMO. Patty Melt w/ potato salad $9.45- 1/3 pound Angus patty on marble rye bread w/ Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and onions. This patty was also less than desirable, although it was slightly more masked by all the other items on the sandwich. However this one was difficult to choke down due to mass amount of grease coating the bread. Potato salad was not great either, but it was better than the two entrees so I will leave it be. When our server cleared away our largely uneaten plates he didn't ask if there was anything wrong with our meals or even if we wanted boxes, so we didn't offer up comment. I think they just wanted to turn the table. We were still hungry after we left and stopped at Dairy Queen for Blizzards to cheer us up. :) read more

On the first weekend of October my tradition has been to hike the River Mountains Loop Trail from Railroad Pass to the Art in the Park Festival in Boulder City. The Boulder Dam Brewing Company is part of this tradition. Pychologically, Art in the Park is more than a celebration of art and food. It is a celebration of the end of the brutal weather that ascends the desert temperature to the triple digit and the start of months of beautiful weather. When I drink my traditional first weekend of October beer it is "Cheers" as I toast the cool weather. When I spend time in Boulder Dam Brewing Company, I am drinking a cold one (or two) in an establishment that is unique. Both the beer garden and beer pub have special qualities. This is one of the few beer gardens in the Las Vegas area outside of a casino property. It is a beer garden that seats eighty patrons. It is a beer garden that brings a cool nightlife scene to the City that Hoover Dam built. This is the sight of live music on weekend nights when the weather is peaceful. The beer pub is unique in its attention to creating a 1930s feel to the interior. Hoover Dam opened in 1936. Above the bar there is a mural of constructing the Hoover Dam. There are pieces of the equipment used in building the dam. There are lighting, seats, millwork, and artwork from the 1930s. What makes Boulder Dam Brewing Company stand out from several Las Vegas brew pubs and bars is the missing video poker and gaming machines. Boulder Dam Brewing Company is in the heart of Boulder City where gambling is illegal. However, they make up for it with interesting trivia cards. Boulder Dam Brewing Company has been brewing beer since the late 2000's. The sign outside says established 2006 where their Web page states they opened on February 17, 2007. That is around eight Art in the Park weekends. Since they opened, they received a few awards including "Best of Las Vegas 2009" and "Best of Nevada 2011." The heart of the business is their twelve tap system. They brew six different styles at a time. In addition they serve alternative beer, wine in a glass or bottle, pub food, sandwiches, and pub burgers. The paragraphs above paint a picture of this brew pub that I have visited during the last three Art in the Parks and with additional Boulder City adventures. It has usually been full during Art in the Park. After a few minutes of taking in the 1930s Era decor, a bar stool becomes available. On my first visit during Art in the Park 2013, I kept entertained with the trivia cards. The following two years I'd keep entertained with my phone and the tvs up ahead. Regardless that they brew their own beer, I order a Bud Light draft. Draft is a major reason I enjoy brew pubs. I am a beer draft over beer bottle person. On all my visits, the clientele were locals and tourists. I noticed that some of the locals are from Henderson and Las Vegas. Both the locals and tourists filled the brew pub with interesting conversation that was at an average noise level. Behind the bar, there has usually been two beer servers. Whenever I have visited the service has been okay. During the last three first weekends of October, when I celebrate the beginning of months of cool weather at Art In the Park, The Boulder Dam Brewing Company is the right place for "cheers" as I make a toast to the months of beautiful weather ahead. With that said, this review is a Yelp toast to the end of the brutal weather that we have put up with and to the months of serene weather ahead. read more

Good beer, good food, good service, gotta give them four stars. Did the taster with six-5oz pours to see what was good. It was all good. Favorites were the Hefe, lots of banana and cloves and the Stout, smooth. Honorable mention are the Pilsner and the peach vice. Wondering about peach beer but it was not overpowering and refreshing. Not sure how a pint would be but the taster was good. Decided to hake home a growler of the Hefe. Only a short drive from Henderson and a nice get-a-way. Pretty sure we will be back. read more

Food was awful, chicken was like rubber, burgers were marginal at best and service sucked. Would not recommend.

We had a cool, enjoyable respite on our 110-plus degree journey to see 1) the haunted hotel next door and 2) Hoover dam. It was cookin' while we were bookin' the day we stopped in. We were two fried fritters/poached peeps/crispy critters/roasted meats and were disappointed not to see any menacing spirits at the adjacent hotel. So what do you do when you're dispirited (yes, I said it) and facing the possibility of heat stroke in Boulder City NV? You walk into the just-right coolness of Boulder Dam Brewing Co., pull up a chair and order some beer! D'uh. I opted for the Awesome Blossom IPA and the Huzby went for the Squatters' Hops Rizing IPA. After two sips of my Blossom I realized I liked the Rizing better. So the Huzby and I traded and mixed things up a bit, ordered another Rizing, some chips and salsa and we settled in for a spell watching the fascinating (from many standpoints) documentary on the building of the Hoover Dam made in the 30's. Truly a gem. The Rizing was very good. I don't really know the proper brew jargon, but it went down easy, tasty, and with just the right amount of fizz. The chips were bagged but fresh and the salsa, we were told, is made by a local. It was very good--spicy but not SO spicy you couldn't wolf down your dipped chips and chase the corn mulch down your throat with a healthy swaller of hoppy liquid amber. A perfect, midday recovery from the furnace outside. And let it be known: Mike, the bar dude, is super personable, helpful, interested and interesting. He made us feel very welcome and got us filled in on some local lore. Thanks, MIke. It was good to meet you! Special bonus: They had some some adorable onsies in a variety of sizes, so we scored a pink and blue one for my brand new niece and nephew. They say: "My parents like beer, that's how I got here." Self explanatory, one hopes. I've included a picture with the beer accompaniment. read more
