Aces & Ales Has Your Hair of the Dog in Las Vegas – Craft Beer & Brewing

From our Love Handles department for great beer bars: Check out this labor of love from longtime beer geek (and rocker) Keri Kelli, in the thick of Sin City.

What it is: A craft beer outpost serving casual fare in unpretentious environs among the bright lights and overblown absurdity of Vegas. Grab a hangover burger and some hair of the dog from one of the copious taps and regret the poor choices you made at the casino the night before. If youre feeling flush from your good luck, celebrate with an older bottle from the cellartheyve been stashing vintages of everything from Firestone Walker Parabola to Belgian classics. And if youre lucky, you may just run into a rock star while youre there.

Why its great: We grabbed lunch at the Nellis location, returning from HomebrewCon in San Diego in 2015. It was a unique experience to find video poker terminals all along the bar of this craft-beer joint, and it was even stranger to find a five-year-old bottle of 3 Fonteinen Oude Gueuze on the menu. Food was good, beer was better, and the cognitive dissonance of stumbling across a cooler filled with vintage beerz was just too rich to ignore. Its been so successful, theyre adding a third location (this time, with a brewery attached).
