We came to Boulder for the train and found this nice little beer and sandwich restaurant. Great service, good and fresh sandwiches. Wine was fair to middling but then again it IS a beer place read more

We had good food all three times we went there. The music was good. We don't drink but did enjoy soda. Husband even bought a t-shirt to support local business. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the bathroom had not been tended to in quite some time. Everything else was great. read more

Tried this place on a groupon and pleased with their brews, vibe and friendly staff. The flights have SIX samples! The chocolate stout was amazing with the chilies--what an incredible surprise and treat. The Hefeweizen is yummy too. read more

The location of this restaurant is great. We actually found this place while antiquing and followed our noses because we smelt a delicious smell and it was coming from the restaurant. Or so we thought. Let me say the staff is friendly and personable, but very slow. Inside was clean and we were seated immediately (on a Saturday around 2pm). Outside was well kept and the people out there were enjoying themselves with their dogs as it is a pet friendly establishment. The bathroom was a bit dirty, especially around the sink area with a mysterious bowl of sludge in the counter. As for the food negatives - we ordered two cokes both of which were flat. We ordered the chips and beer queso as an appetizer. My advice: don't. The queso was gross and the chips were stale. I got the philly cheese steak and my mom got the French dip. Both gross. Do NOT order the sweet potato fries. They were slimey?? I don't know on what planet those would be acceptable on. We didn't have a beer, which maybe if we were intoxicated everything would have been better. read more

We saw an ad so headed over after our Hoover Dam tour. From the outside it appeared closed - no lights in the window and no lighted open sign. Had to call to see if they were open. The staff was friendly and beer was good and cold. We shared a plate of nachos with meat. The meat was a cut up hamburger and the cheese was mostly absent. However, the burgers going by our table looked amazing. The fans kept the place a little chilly but the outside patio looked like a great place to spend a warmer evening. The place had a good vibe so I'd try it again and explore the menu more when we visit the area next time. read more

This place was not great. Service was poor, food was boring and tasteless. Their beer cheese queso dip tasted like canned queso from the grocery store. Our appetizer came out and shortly after(about 2 minutes) our main course came out. Both meals were barely warm but it was impossible to find a server to tell to remake them. Wouldn't go back read more

I'm a little late with this review since we were there several weeks ago. We've eaten there before, and the food and service are always top-notch. If you're looking for something delicious and inexpensive and a good brew to go along with it, give it a try. A good value and good food. read more

Great service. Horrible food. Nachos were inedible bc of horrible cheese. Cheese curds were cold & rubbery with terrible marinara. Fried pickles were nasty, whole spears instead of sliced disks & dipping sauces were lame. Mac 'n' cheese passible. Burgers were ok to good--Fries not so much. Out of salmon--disappointing cuz we wanted salmon sliders but probably lucky for us. Great ambiance on patio, although it could've used some torch heaters this time of year. Nice bathrooms. Good location. Great potential if the food was decent. read more

Stay away. Do yourself a big favor. They were overwhelmed with people on 2/17/18 so you automatically give them the benefit of the doubt. Our middle aged, brunette, tattooed, female server was the worst ever. I only describe her because she truly earned this review. She was outwardly annoyed with us. We literally weren't brought water or silverware. I got our own as well as chasing down sugar for those that had iced tea. I thought maybe we were in some kinda reality show. Like someone would pop out and go haha, we gotcha. Then, maybe we could all have a laugh. Boy was I wrong. What a horrible representative of this business. Total disdain for us. The beer and food, are just average and their guest taps were all recently sold out. Guess they forgot to remove an entire sheet of available brews. Too bad because this is a great location and could be awesome with better beer and staff that doesn't dislike their patrons. A real bummer experience. read more

House brews are amazing! Definitely recommend that you stop by for some food and a beer.

Enjoyed our Sunday drive to Boulder City. A few brews and some good food! We had the French dip, onion rings, coney dog, French fries and mushrooms. I'd recommend them all. Delicious! Our waitress Hannah was delightful. Fast service and pleasant conversation. Sit outside, they have lots of tables and umbrellas. We will definitely be back! read more

Came in last Friday around 5:30 with a group of 5. Decided to sit inside because we had been outside at a softball tournament all day. Was slightly disappointed there was a limited menu that didn't include fried pickles but it's understandable for the weekend. Our party had a burger, sliders, gyros, nachos, and pretzels. The food came quick and was yummy. I especially enjoyed the pineapple cider. It's so hard to find cider anywhere. Overall it was a great experience. Note: this would've been a 5 star review, but Yelp! won't let me leave two reviews. We decided to come back on Saturday with a couple more people since we enjoyed it so much. We had a totally different experience. The service was absolutely terrible and we were the only occupied table inside. The food took forever and was barely warm. We had to get up to get our own silverware and napkins because our server was nowhere in sight. She was also kind of rude and didn't know what beer and cider was on tap. We also had to ask for our drinks several times because she forgot some of them. We tried to help her out by writing on the bill how it should be split. After four tries, we gave up and just paid the bill and settled it among ourselves. read more

Not a bad place. Had the Hatch Burger . Yum. Haven't tried and of the Brew yet. Once I do, then I can fully rate the establishment. The staff is great, attentive, fun to talk to and food comes in a timely manner. Nice homely brew joint with good brew food. Side not: the nachos are to die for! Nom Nom. Eat and drink up! read more

Stopped in here for a snack and drinks. I have not heard great things about this place but I didn't care and wanted to try it for myself. I got the beer sampler which was great. I love a good local made beer and the flight sizes were nice and price was fair. Ordered the Philly cheesesteak fries because I saw a table by us that had a side of fries and it was a big portion and thought that would be great to share. I was wrong! The portion was ridiculously small and half the fries were just tiny ends. The kids ordered a cheese burger however we were informed they had no cheese and the burger was just whatever, Nothing to write home about. We ordered the mushrooms and Bavarian pretzel app. Pretzels were tasty and cheese dip and mustard that accompanied them was really good. The mushrooms never arrived and we asked when they might be coming out and our server said he never put them in cause he didn't hear that. Overall sadly disappointed. read more

Delish! Sliders were great, beer queso was delish. Taylor B is awesome! We enjoyed our lunch. read more

Boulder Dam Brewing Co. - Chips, beer queso and salsa - Breweries Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

This is a good brewpub. The place itself is somewhat lacking. The inside is small and rather uninteresting and basic with limited seating. The main sitting area is the patio, which is nice and has a number of umbrellas but needs more shade given how sunny and hot this area is and given that it is most of the seating. The food is great. It has more limited range of fare than many and mostly just a focus on burgers and sandwiches but all that we had was great. The "Brueben" was the best rueben I've had in a long time with outstanding, tangy homemade sauerkraut. The philly cheesesteak fries were wonderful with a great mixture of ingredients in w wonderful balance. Burgers and chicken wrap were outstanding, too. Beer is of limited range and choice but the Powder Monkey Pilsner was very good. read more

Stopped in for appetizers and beer. Beer was pretty good - but served in plastic cups which wasn't the best. We ordered nachos and wings. We waited 35 minutes- then. when food came out it was cold. Nachos were awful. Chips from grocery store, hardly any cheese. Wings ok, but fries literally cold and greasy. Server nice but we never saw her again after we ordered. Had to flag down a guy (host?) for our check. Won't likely be back. read more

Great service, ok beer, great wings, burgers looked good, fries were kinda oily and gross, Bruben was meh.

Boulder Dam was the most out of the way brewery that we visited in Vegas. Located about 30-35 mins away from Vegas itself. In the Bay Area, that could be as little as 5-10 miles. Out here on the wide open roads, it seems like FOREVER! Then again, there is plenty of tourist and tour bus traffic on the highway that runs though Boulder City, heading to the Hoover Dam. I like the grounds outside where you can enjoy your beer. Although I'm not sure how many months of the year you're able to actually enjoy the outdoors in the desert. It was certainly nice in the mild October weather. They do offer beer shades to hide your beer from the sun, but mine usually doesn't last that long. I would be more concerned about myself keeling over from heatstroke. Seems there's a lot of locals that enjoy this place on their lunch break or as part of their after work routine. The staff at the bar treats everyone the same regardless whether it's your first time, or if they know you by name. That is sometimes a rare thing. We got the sampler as we always do. Theirs is called the "six-shooter" and arrives on a cool lil tray. Too bad it doesn't resemble a six-shooter in any way. The beers were all uniformly "okay". None of what they had on tap was anything special. That became even more clear once I ordered the only non house beer they had on tap. The Golden Road IPA was light years ahead of Boulder Dam's version. The Hefe was pretty good, but to me all Hefe's pretty much taste the same unless it's terrible. Theirs was good so I'll give it that. Don't fall for the temptation to try the complimentary salt scrub in the restrooms. It is rough on your hands and leaves an oily residue behind. I tried it so you won't have to. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit Boulder Dam. However, if you are on your way to or from the Hoover Dam, it may be worth a pit stop to get some liquid refreshment to beat that scorching desert heat. read more

This Dam Brewing Co. We had a bartender, a middle aged gentleman, who was probably the owner. This guy was a hard-worker, flying around the place. This guy was nice to a fault. Why the fault? He told us that sometimes he gets light headed when he works and he needs to suck on a sugar packet to get him back on track. I really hope he's okay. The beers? For better or worse, most of the locals beers were out. We tried the WTH Grapefruit IPA and Powder Monkey Plisner first. The IPA had a smooth flavor with no bitter aftertaste. It's no Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA but it is a very solid choice. Same with the Pilsner. Easy and smooth taste, good on a hot day. Refreshing. Next two were gross. Hell's Hole Hefeweizen had a weird candy wannabe taste to it. I couldn't put my finger on it. Notes of cotton candy? Funky tap? Who knows. The Beyond the Pale Ale was super heavy on the apricot taste. Plus it was thick. Wrong beer for how hot it was. Then again, not sure apricot beers are really all the rage. It's about that grapefruit. read more

A group of friends and I went to get an after dinner drink after the day's film festival, so we stopped here to close out our night of adventuring. Real cozy atmosphere. Something about the vibe that was casual and laid-back. We sat next to a guy chatting excitedly to a friend about how drunk and incoherent he is, and is usually a very normal person (uh-huh). On the other side, "Wheel of Fortune" was playing on the TV. Pat Sajak is still hosting? Really? At any rate, my friends and I survey the menu. They do their own beer, so there were quite a few appealing options. As I started to gravitate towards a Bock, my eyes found the "Beer Float". And it's exactly what it sounds like: A stout with vanilla ice cream. Since I skipped dessert at dinner, I decided to try one. So I ordered, and the bartender actually scoffed at me, as if to say "What kind of lame-o wants ice cream in their beer?" Well, I, sir, AM that lame-o! .... Well, one of my friends and I, anyway, since she decided to try one. It's a rather exclusive club, you see, and memberships are limited. True to word, we got served our drinks, and they were tasty. The bartender made it a point to give us a hard time, but he was having some good-natured fun with the jokes, so we verbally gave as much as we got. We finished our drinks, hung out for a bit longer, and left. As we left, the bartender thanked us for coming out, and said he hoped to see us again soon. I liked the guy, so I gave him a good tip. Any schmoe can sling a beer. It's finding someone willing to have a good time with the customers that makes the experience. Didn't try the food, but perhaps I'll brave it on the next venture out there. read more

We like the casual feel and friendly service. They accommodate my gluten free needs graciously. My son enjoys their kid menu selections and our guests from out of town enjoy coming here. read more

Not a lot of vegan options to eat (I think I got fries), unfortunately. But the beer is pretty decent (although the IPA was not quite hoppy enough for my taste), the staff is very nice, and they are DOG FRIENDLY! yay! I dropped my folks off at the Hoover Dam, and brought my dog to BDBC for a beer or two on their lovely patio while the 'rents did their tour. Lots of space outdoors, perfect for a group of friends w/ multiple dogs! read more

Q: Why would one go to a brewery if not to drink? A: To eat of course. Boulder Dam Brewing was the only game in town on Saturday at 11:30 that was not packed with people getting breakfast. It was empty inside at that hour as they likely just opened. My folks were in town for NASCAR weekend and I knew they would like to get way from the hustle and bustle of the city (Las Vegas). So we spent Saturday in Boulder City and grabbed a nice lunch at Boulder Dam Brewing. My step dad ordered the BBQ Bacon Burger. I got the regular Pub Buger. Both were impressive with the obiously hand formed patties, fresh toppings and a great set of buns. He got onion rings while I stuck with fries. Both were good though I think I liked my fries better. There are seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt. I make fries at home with a similar blend. The onion rings were good and came with a dipping sauce that really woke up my taste buds. I think it was Franks Red Hot sauce added to mayo. I'm not really sure but it was hot and tangy. The odd ball in our group was my mom. She ordered a cup of broccoli soup and a dinner roll. She said the roll tasted homemade and fresh and that the soup had fresh broccoli rather than frozen. The quality here is second to none. I know my step dad was disappointed with not going to the Coffee Cup as it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. A show he is a fan of. His disappointment was quickly erased with our brew pub lunch. All three of us were quite happy in our experience. read more

Clearly still bitter about the nearby 3,250,000 cubic yards of concrete being named after Herby Hoover, the Boulder Dam Brewing Company chose to honor the Dam's original name. Perhaps because of the depression or maybe because he had pet alligators, there will never be a Hoover Dam Brewing Company. Hoover is missing out because the beer here is very good and is only $3 a pint during happy hour. I would say crafting a beer of this quality and selling it at such low prices is a greater engineering achievement than building a giant wall to make a river flood, and I know what I'm talking about. read more

The only reason I am giving 2 in place of one star is for the food and service, as I only tried the beer I cannot rate the food and will give them the benefit of the doubt. I had stopped in here back in 06 or 07 and the beer was weak and had no depth. After seeing it got best microbrewery in 09 by the RJ and the fact I see it when I eat Milo's Wine Cellar (which great place by the way) I decided to stop in and see if they had improved their beers. I got their flight which was only $10 so I could sample all six of the beers that they had on tap currently. Belgian Wit- this beer was ok, it was relatively weak on its flavor but its body and color were spot on. Hef- Their Hef was about the same as the Wit, it had little flavor it should but they had mastered the look body of the beer. Oktoberfest Marzen- This beer was a severe dissapointment. Its flavor was bad...I would not try thid beer again...ever. IPA- This beer was pretty good...they nailed the IPA flavor, body, and color, etc...its can always be better but this IPA would order a pint of if I ever were back (which I prob wont be) Caramel Choc Stout- This beer was horrid.....don't know what type of caramelization they did to the hops or extract they used....but it completely ruined this beer. I could barely finish it. Almost reminded me of a German Rauchbier. Lobotomy Bock- Yet another beer that had no flavor to match its identity...I could barely finish this sample either... If you are a bud light drinkrt this place with probably seem like heaven for you. If you drink real beer with flavor and attitude or even just expect beers to have flavor and not seem like flavored water...this place will make you cry. The bartender was very polite, courteous, and quick despite the fact he was very busy so a + for customer service. read more

I am a limo driver in LV and when I bring people to the dam I usually recommend this place because the food is good. I'm getting tired however of my people complaining that it takes over an hour to get sandwiches. This isn't the first time this has happened either. Hire some more people because your about to start losing business, starting with mine and I drive a limo that holds 30. I brought 11 today. Your welcome. I'm sure your slow service will affect my tip though. read more

Boulder Dam Brewing Co. - My limo that holds 30 - Breweries Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

We were excited to visit a local brewery, the beer isn't up to beer standards at all. We tried three different ones. The Hefe was pretty nasty, we r thinking it's a water issue. They might want to check into an RO system. The Cerveza was as just Ok and the Pale ale as well. The food was great. Hatch Chili burger was the best. We also had the Blue ray burger and it was good as well. Onion rings were hot and came with a great sauce. The fries were barely warm though, but they were real fries so they were still delicious. read more

I'm giving three stars for waitstaff-excellent server, ambience and what I did taste. Let me quantify all this now. The ambience is pretty cool. I was a mother alone with my 4 year old and 18 month old (who eats better than my 4 year old) but I totally could see myself hanging out there if I were single and didn't have kids or have kids with me. What made it "cool" to me was the really "old west/barfly" working class feel. They definitely need a full bar though. I'm on a ketone diet and the atmosphere/ambience really reminded me of my days as a student to be honest and I really wanted to enjoy a beer with my meal but after googling what I could drink it was only clear spirits and they had only beer and wine-so no little relaxation for me (probably for the best but they need a full bar they'd really be slammed). Ok now the negatives. Being on a ketone diet I looked over the menu and salads or salmon were my main choices. I spotted a Philly cheese steak which was PERFECT without the bread (and peppers as I hate those) for the kids I got my daughter a hot dog and my son the chicken nuggets. As mine came with French fries too I asked to substitute them with avocado which they did. I briefly saw our food coming out and my really great waiter intervening-he didn't know I saw but he came over and apologised for the delay and told me they put peppers in it. So the food arrives and the presentation was really great on mine. They managed to make an AMAZING Philly cheese steak minus the peppers and bread. It sat on a large leaf and on the side there were a few slices of avocado. I do want to add that I had a tea-iced tea I made by them giving me a green tea tea bag and hot water and a cup of ice. The only complaint I have on my meal is for the price the Philly cheese steak was about half of what a subway 6 inch Philly would have-so really small portion. It's obvious they like to fill people on fries-which were overly generous on both my kids plates. Also considering I didn't get a huge heap of fries they could have given more than a few slices (3 to be exact). Now my kids meals-well my daughter had a really good hot dog and a ton of fries that looked-and felt dry and over cooked and a pickle on the side. This is the first time EVER my daughter didn't touch a French fry-NOT EVEN ONE. I tried to feed one to her and she smacked it away. She did get a juicy hot dog though. My son had over cooked nuggets and again the same dry over cooked French fries. I really had to coax him-I did take all with me but likely going out with the trash tomorrow. So honestly maybe it was an off day with the fryer but anything fried was really not good. You can't work with kids (or adults) and dry over cooked fries. Finally the bill-for a tea bag I brewed myself, the cheese steak and avocado and the kids meals it was $32 dollars or so-I was shocked really. If they had massive portions and they got the fried foods right I'd totally have no issue but the small portions just kind of shocked me. I'd go again when not on a ketone diet and enjoy a house beer and a burger and ask for lightly fried French fries. read more

This is a likable place that I went to have lunch after visiting Hoover Dam.You could say it was my anniversary dinner but for the fact that both my wife and I forgot about that.I guess we won't win the sentimentality contest.The place was jammed on a Sunday afternoon around one.We sat at the bar.They make a terrific Hefeweizen and their coffee stout was first rate.The Pale Ale is good .The Red IPA wasn't bad but had too much of a malt profile.I had a bratwurst sandwich ;wife - a turkey club.We enjoyed both . Make sure to look at the town , Boulder City , which was built for the dam workers in the '30s.I'd add the place has a funky beer centered atmosphere that I liked. read more

Went to this place to get out of town on a really nice weekend and it's a go go go! In Boulder City on your way back from the dam it's a great food and the outdoor patio is a place. Definitely try the hef! read more

Great looking place The beers were incredible Food was above average Priced reasonable read more

This place is nice to relax. The foos is ok. They should have more variety. What I did not like was that on my bill the tip was already posted. I believe that tipping is optional, and they put the amount too and don't even tell you. I really don't think that this is a fair game. read more

Came in to get a beer and eat. Asked about happy hour and the host went to ask, I assume the supervisor, if we could get happy hour prices 1 min after happy hour ended and we had been waiting 5 minutes for menus. She rudely stated, to the hostess, happy hour is from three to six. Then she went to the "bartender" and asked him to take our table as if we were too much for her to handle. The "bartender" was great. I really was looking forward to having a French Dip and stuffed mushrooms but bad service for me is intolerable. All the "rude" lady had to do is come to us and say "sorry we can't give happy hour after 6". All 4 of us decided to eat somewhere else after we finished our beer which we already ordered. I understand that the "rude" lady probably doesn't care she was rude but she cost any future business from the 4 of us. Needless to say the Heff was great. read more

This is an interesting place. Food was good but took a while to get served after taking the order. My issue with this place was that it seamed to be way laid back, no real management. I wasn't greeted when I walked in and kind of stood around for a few minutes trying to make eye contact with any employee. Finally I decided to browse around the place (they have t-shirts and stuff for sale) and still no one greeted me. I finally just asked a served if we just seat ourselves and was told yes. It was super busy so maybe that is why it was so mismanaged but I don't know if I would go back just to find out. Prices were reasonable, didn't have any beer, clean but dark inside. read more

Group of 4 of us went here after seeing the Hoover Dam. Hostess told us 40 min. There were plenty of tables available during our entire wait. Food was ok. We asked for some mayo and we got packets that were sitting in the sun for a while and were quite warm. Overall would i go back probably but would try something else first if i had the choice. read more

This place has so much potential. Great location on the main strip in Boulder City....a lot of tourists drive this way on their way to and from the Hoover Dam. They have a great patio and an open dining room with a large bar. I have not been here on a night when they feature a live band, but I can imagine it is a great atmosphere. I've also not enjoyed the patio, it has always been too hot to sit outside! I've tried a few items on the menu. Everything has been decent. There is nothing spectacular about the food. The service is usually pretty good, but can be hit or miss. Almost everytime I have been here, they've had a very small selection of beers. This is odd to me, since it's a brewpub, and they are brewing their own beers. I love beer and I like supporting local breweries, but it's hard to do so when the product is mostly unavailable. It's a shame, because there is such an untapped (no pun intended) beer market here in Vegas. I feel like this place way underperforms and could be a gold mine. read more

This was a total let down for it was my last meal of my "Las Vegas" trip before my flight back East. The staff didn't seem to enjoy their jobs. My server was very cold and distant. As a newbie I prefer to interact with the employees and get a feel for their favorite items on the menu. This guy did not care to interact and help with menu advice, other than saying the special of the day was "really good." I personally would like a little more than that. I am not a beer connoisseur, but being in a brewery, I felt the need to step outside of my traditional domestic beer ordering mode. I ordered the Powder Monkey Pilsner, it was good. I went ahead and ordered the "special" which was a barbeque sandwich. The other person in my party ordered a simple cheeseburger, and ordered the chicken wing appetizer. Meanwhile, soaking up the stale/dead environment of the BDBC, no chicken wing appetizer ever came out. But, eventually and thankfully, our sandwiches arrived in a decent time. He mentioned the burger was okay. The barbeque made me wish I would've ordered a good 'ol American classic hamburger. It was horrible. Sloppity slop on a bun fo sho! I couldn't even finish it, but I scarfed down the so-so french fries and gulped the pilsner, and out the door we went ... regretting our decision to choose the BDBC. Choose wisely! read more
