    Using our NV Passport! Free pint!

    Matthew took such care of us. He manages the whole crowd here, too. So, walk in toward the cashier. Give them your credit card and they will give you "drink" card to tap-hold at their drink kiosks. Scan to order and pay for food or order any food items you desire from Matt/server. Super chill sports bar to watch a game. Lots of parking. Clean. Will return. A+!

    Beerhouse Flatbread: Prosciutto and Fig
    Jenna R.

    Stopped by on a Sunday night, and this was my 2nd time here which was so opposite from the first time I came here. The vibes were a lot more chill and all TVs were on and playing different sporting events: MLB, NFL, and NBA. The last time I was here on a Friday night there was a small party happening and live music. Lots of parking with indoor and outdoor seating, including high top seating and couch seating. We were helped by Vance who was friendly and very helpful with recommending beers and food to try. He recommended the Beerhouse Flatbread with prosciutto & fig, which was 10/10 exactly what we needed to drink our beers with. There's a wide range of beers, ciders, seltzers, and wines to choose from on the wall. I love pressing the info button on the screens to learn more about what I am drinking. I also love that it's a self-pour with different glasses so that you can control how much you want to pour. This is a great place for someone to try different things, especially if you're not sure what you like. As a beer and cider person, I would say that every drink that I had here was great with lots of choices for people who don't drink beers/ciders regularly. Would definitely come here again and would be fun as a date night or even with a large group too!

    So yummy!! I am personally not a huge beer fan, but I'm so glad we tried this place out! It's like yogurtland meets beer and there's a large variety to choose from. You get a card, grab a glass, place the card in the designated area, and self serve from their rotation of flavors. I really liked being able to taste a bunch of different flavors without committing to a whole 8oz glass. Some stand outs for me were the Ube and Guava flavors, so yummy but on the sweet side. Prices varied and were per ounce, but I'd say most were around $0.75 an ounce with some on "sale" as low as $0.30 an ounce. We tried a lot of food dishes too from the nachos to the mexican corn dip to the wings and all of it was soo delicious!! Definitely on the pricier side, but I'd say most of it was shareable. They do have happy hour Monday-Friday for the drinks and various food happy hours throughout the week, so I'd take advantage of those. The interior is really open with lots of long tables to accommodate big groups. There's a few board games to check out behind the cashier. And the outdoor patio is great too. It's very upscale outside with water features and fire pits. Last but not least, the service here is great! Very friendly and accommodating. We were celebrating a birthday and they made us feel very welcome and helped us out with extra plates and forks for the cake. The only qualm I have with this place is that it closes too soon! I really hope they extend their hours past 10/11pm. I'll definitely be back though.

    We stopped here because of a work get together and were very impressed. There was plenty of parking out front, and plenty of seating inside with tvs. The employee (I think Vance) was very friendly, helpful, and offered free tastings of a few of the beers. There was a good selection of beers, wines, etc to choose from as well. We tried the chips and salsa and the flatbread, and both were good. Overall, we were very impressed and wish they had one in the Centennial Hills area.

    Butter board
    Ana S.

    Taps & Barrell surprised me in the best way. The warm pretzel loaves and whipped butter board were insane - sweet, salty, creamy, and honestly the reason I'll be back. The toppings (dried fruit, nuts, herbs, microgreens) made it feel way fancier than it needed to be, and I loved it. Service was quick, vibes were cute, and the only thing I wanted was more pretzels because the board deserved unlimited carbs. Great spot for a casual-but-elevated bite.

    Wings
    Monica T.

    This place was ok for me. I am not a beer person but my husband is. It was nice to hang out on the patio as the weather was perfect. It was very welcoming at first but towards the end the waiter got a little better. Tables were small outside and only had a high top or couch, no other tables not al height. There were a lot of beer options. It's a little pricey for the beers but there were so many options. They had some for a deal due to happy hour. The food was ok, typical bar food. I was sad the food was just bar food and there were not options. This is a better suited place for folks who like beer a lot only, and if you don't like beer, this place won't be appetizing.

    Flatbread
    Michelle C.

    Taps and Barrel is such a cool concept--think Yogurtland, but for beer, cider, and other drinks on tap. You can pour as much (or as little) as you want, sample different options, and even customize your drink. Whether you're a casual drinker or a beer enthusiast, it's a fun and interactive experience. I've been here in different settings--small groups, larger gatherings, and even hosting an event--and every time, I leave happy. I recently hosted a group of about 10 people, and it was awesome because no reservations or fees were required. The vibe is super casual but in the best way. That said, sometimes the place closes for private events or gets really busy, so I recommend calling ahead to make sure they're open to the public. The indoor space is great with long communal tables, but the outdoor patio is even better--fire pits, mountain views, and just an overall great atmosphere. As someone who doesn't drink much, I found it pretty affordable, but if you're someone who can really put back beers, it might not be the most budget-friendly place. Still, the experience alone makes it worth checking out. Highly recommend!

    Strawberry flavor! So good and smooth.
    Debbie G.

    Convenient location in SW Las Vegas, near 215 and Buffalo. Lots of ample parking. Well-lit and walkable area. Inside, the restaurant is spacious, with seating both indoors and outside (with misters). So many great beer selections; something for everyone, including fruity beers that are a good substitute for a soda lover, like me. Food is tasty and complimentary to the beers. I really enjoy the fries and the buffalo wings. Service is friendly and someone is always available to lend a helping hand. The entire space, including restrooms, is clean too.

    Summary: Amazing service, solid food, and a wide selection of beers on tap makes this a fun place to dine. Matthew is phenomenal for customer service. I went here for my first time with two friends that are local. The place was pretty full on a Thursday evening because of a convention in town, but we were still able to get some seats. Matthew came out early on to let us know there were some large food orders being put in, but that he would try to help expedite ours within. We had some beers, and placed our order. Everything was really good. We got the farmhouse pepperoni flatbread, hot Hawaiian flatbread, brussel sprouts, portobello mushrooms, and warm corn dip. All was tasty and a good sized portion for the three of us. Throughout the meal, we were being checked on regularly, but everything was solid. Definitely a great place with caring staff.

    Absolutely love the concept of this place! You get a card, you pour your own beers. Try one or try them all and enjoy at your own pace! They charge by the oz, it varies by beer and you pay your total in the end. You can also keep track of how many oz's you've poured and how much you'll owe. They have a very nice variety of craft beers both local and from other states (there were a few favorites from AZ and CA) and there's plenty of options that there's hardly no wait to pour. The place has a great relaxed and fun vibe with comfy couch corners for a few people or tables for large groups and there's great music playing in the background Definitely found a new favorite and can't wait to return again and again. Btw they're pet and kid friendly, have games, TV's, patio with fire pits, plenty of parking, small food bites and coed restrooms.

    We came here for date night. I'll start there because the date night vibe was okay. It was laid back and open dining. Hi tops and couches. Lighting was a little bright, but you could find yourself still able to be relaxed. Once the sun start to set the vibe was nice. I enjoyed trying the different beer. I don't drink beer so the experience, could've been better for me if there were more cider choices. I believe there were about 3 cider choices when I went. I'm more of a cider drinker and was expecting more in that area. Food was a bit over priced for not really being prepared in a full service kitchen. It was more like the heat up type of food. Microwave or oven type. I think the food quality could have also enhanced the experience. Price for value of alcohol, was fair. Price for value of food, was a little over-priced. I'd still return to give it another try.

    I love the concept and I love the space but the price of the beer can sneak up on you really quickly and although they have a large selection, I didn't really find too many that I actually enjoyed. That being said, I would definitely come back here and try the food that is offered and some of the other drinks. It is in a beautiful new complex next to Basilico Italiano Ristorante and their gorgeous patio and the building's outdoor fountain complex, which, when the weather is good, is beautiful to walk around and hang out by. The concept is you connect a credit or debit card to a plastic card which you can then use to scan at any of the multiple taps and pout your own drinks. Each drink has an LED screen which showcases the brewery, type of drink, and the price per ounce. Once you start pouring, your drink price appears on the screen.

We both had fish and chips on our brains, and I know Flowing Tide in the north has yummy fish and chips, so I was hoping this Vegas location would too.

This location was easy to find, Vegas is so easy to get around, everything is all laid out on a grid, with big throughfares every one mile.

Looking at the menu, I see prices are higher by a few bucks per item and I see more upscale items on the menu that we don't have in the north, like crab cakes! I saw the fish and chips, so that's what we got. I really don't care for coleslaw in general, so I got mine with double fries instead and my friend likes coleslaw and is cutting carbs, so she got double coleslaw and no fries. The order comes with 4 nice pieces of crispy deep fried fish, along with malt vinegar of course. The fish was super hot and tasty seasoned at the table with salt and malt vinegar. I was taught that was the British way to do fish and chips, tarter and catsup is the American way!

What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.
