Aces & Ales

Ordered an ahi salad to go and had a beer. The ahi was seasoned well & cooked to perfection. The dressing on the salad was a very good pairing with the ahi, I finished it so fast that I wish it were bigger. The women at the bar seemed to kind of brush me off, probably because they knew I wasn’t staying long, I assume. I really enjoyed everything I had ordered I just wish I had felt comfortable enough to ask the ladies behind the bar some questions about the beers on tap, but they weren’t very welcoming. BUT, I will continue to come back because I absolutely love this bar.

This tends to always be my go to when in Vegas. Staff is friendly and the rotating drafts are a plus. Great food, with the exception of the pizzas. I never really fancied them. Dimly lit and very lax with plenty of TV’s. They’ve got a large bar with plenty of seating for gamers.

Such a great place. The bartender was so knowledgeable when it came to the beer and their happy hour special was great. The food was amazing :) the bar bites and the deep fried Oreos was like nothing I tasted before. They definitely got a new regular and I highly recommend this place!

The beer selection is always pretty good, and it’s a good spot to come in for a quick beer after work.

I’ve been here few times. The service is okay, but could be better. Sucks because it is a cool spot with good food.

Always a big smile from Helen as soon as we walk in the door, very welcoming and the food was awesome! Best grilled cheese I’ve had in a long time! Went to the brewery down the street was so disappointed, this will always be my go to place! I’m very glad I’m back

Amazing and ever changing beer selection here. Best selections in town that I’ve found for those who truly love beer. The food menu is fun and doesn’t scream franchise– thank the heavens above!!! We sat on the patio out back which was large, had a big fireplace with seating in front of it and would be great for large parties. We played cornhole while waiting for our pizza and salad. The bartender said they are working on getting better cornhole boards soon as well as getting the place in regulation so they can have younger than 21 year olds on the grounds (for large parties or eating). We got the Eddie Spaghetti pizza ($ 19, only available in large size)! It says it is spicy but my 4yo ate it without complaint– I didn’t notice any elevated spice level either. I ordered it because it was different but I loved it! I can’t recall the name of the salad but it had mushrooms, tomatoes, steak, arugula, and blue cheese ! It paired nicely. Highly recommended, though, I do prefer thinly sliced steak on salads.
Not too smoky considering smoking is allowed. It’s darkly light– everyone looks better in low lighting, though, don’t they? Fun bartender. The kegs can be seen and they have beers in standing refrigerators that you can pick from too.

I’m always surprised this place isn’t packed at lunch.
Today I got the House Mac and Cheese, because it sounded nice for a hangover. Oh, man is it good. But everything here is always good AND home made. Plus they have a huge assortment of beer, which I can’t enjoy because I’m on lunch break.
They just recently came out with a lunch special. For $ 8 you get a soda, entrée and side. They’re all full sized, and the most popular items.
The reason I came to review them though, had nothing to do with the food. It’s all about a GREAT waitress, Sharon. She is so nice, always cheerful. But attentive as all get out, and quick with anything you need. Really, the waitress makes the restaurant, and she makes this place my go to when Im not brown bagging it.

Beer = Awesome
Veggie Burger = Awesome
Helen the Bartender = Awesome
So nice to have a bar right by my house where it’s laid back and customer service is on point!
Aces and Ales is where it’s at!

Would give this place zero stars if I could. Come here if you love a side of ashes with your beer and wings. We sat in the restaurant part of the place and had the unfortunate luck of being seated by a couple that chain smoked the whole time. It was disgusting. When the issue was brought up to the staff, we were told that patrons could smoke where they want. This place has lost our business.
P. S. Looked up the law. Any stand-​alone bar or restaurant that serves food is supposed to be non-​smoking. Someone please call the health inspectors!

I am traveling for work to Vegas and my (not so great) hotel is conveniently located across the street from this place. I had such an awesome experience!
I was by myself so I hoped it wouldn’t be weird to be in a bar/​casino but I grabbed a table and was greeted promptly and didn’t even need to ask for water before he said he’d be right back with it.
Menu selection was huge (literally) between the beers and food I couldn’t decide what to get. Jessica, my server was attentive with water (huge plus) and checking in on me.
Apple, bacon grilled cheese and arrogant bastard onion rings were the best I’ve ever had. Food came fast and it was hot and delicious!
Thanks every for the great work, this is definitely a place I’d recommend and I’ll be back myself in the future.

Stopped by Aces and Ales last night for a pub quiz, and had a good experience.
I seem to recall coming out here once before, a few years ago, but that was long before my Unilocaling days.
We arrived around 5:15, and seated ourselves.
Let me say this: they have an AMAZING beer selection. The best I’ve seen since The Freakin Frog closed. They have like 6 Delirium beers on daught! That’s amazing!
I was on a tight budget last night, so no beer for me, but I will update the next time I go, because I definitely plan to go again.
My friend and I ordered:
The Chicken Tenders with Ranch, and the Fish and Chips:
Both were really tasty! The chicken was not greasy, and they were big pieces, but I was a little disappointed that a $ 9 dish didn’t even come with fries, and there were only 4 pieces of chicken. But, on the upside, the quality was really good, so I’m not completely turned off by the price.
The fish was awesome. Huge pieces of cod, lightly battered, and super flakey and delicious. Really impressed with that.
Service was a little bit slow, which was understandable during the quiz, but we were there 2 hours early, and still had quite the wait for a waitress. Our server was very nice though, which almost made up for the wait times… the big complaint I have is that the server was super quick on refilling the beers of the rest or our party, but not the water glass I had. We were there for 4 hours, and I only had 2 glasses of water… the second one sat empty for the last 2 hours.
The only other issue I had, was that we were not told when we arrived that they had happy hour specials… and since it took almost 40 minutes to order, we missed out on happy hour prices. That bummed me out… I could have had a drink AND something to eat someone would have mentioned it.
At any rate, the quality of the food was good, and it was a pleasant experience, even with the handful of minor things.
I definitely plan to go back, and soon. The incredible Delirium selection is calling my name!

Tonight happened to be Trivia Night and a few of my friends were going. Tons of beer on tap, they frown upon you ordering Bud Light. I wasn’t really in the mood to spend a ton, so I elected to get a few Bud Lights.
My friend ordered the Chicken Strips and said they were decent. Another friend of mine ordered the Steak Wrap and said it was okay. So there’s nothing. Special about the food judging from their reactions.
Trivia itself was fun, but took almost 3 hours to complete. The inside ambiance is a little weird die to HUGE tables that you have to share. It’s a little awkward when your party of 4 belly’s up to another random party of 4.
As for the service, it was good but something weird happened at the end. My bill was $ 10 and I said I needed change for $ 100. She brought back $ 90 with four $ 20’s and a single $ 10 bill. Hmmm, am I supposed to tip 100% of my bill? Seems like a bizarre way to make change.
This is my second time coming here, but my first review. I’m sticking with my guns here and rating it 3 stars. Probably not coming back. Thanks, but no thanks.

We were going to make a return trip to the Nellis location and then I noticed they have a 2^nd one now, which was much closer to where we were staying. On Sept 3^rd we ventured over for an early dinner, and I was really impressed with their new space. It’s got high ceilings and a cool bar right in the middle with lots of taps, but still has that dark and relaxing feel to it that the other location has.
We started with the beer bites with a stout and a honey wheat beer. Each of those were 5 bucks and really hit the spot. Kimberly took great care of us and would frequently stop by just to see if we needed anything.
For the main meal I ordered the Mirror Pond brats, no bun, and Mr. M ordered the grilled cheese with green apple and bacon & onion rings for the side. That grilled cheese and o rings were just as good as I remember. 5 stars! And the brats were really delicious and full of flavor. The kraut on the side seemed like it came from a can and was really bland. I would challenge them to make some fresh kraut like the Germans do. That would really make that meal.
All in we spent $ 41 before tax and tip. Not too bad at all. I know there are many places I should try in Vegas, but every time we go back I have to visit Aces & Ales. We always have a great time.

Aces and Ales is an upscale bar with an impressive list of craft brews on tap. The menu is extensive and features unique dining options (beer candied bacon, anyone?) in addition to the usual bar food (nachos and pizza). It has never smelled like cigarette smoke inside, and I only eat on the bar side of the pub. I came here with a Groupon for $ 15 for $ 30.
BEER BITES ($ 6.50): I’ve ordered these in the past, but this time the beer bites were pretty lackluster. They were all parmesan and no garlic, all bark and no bite. The bites come with a trio of sauces: beer cheese, marinara sauce, and queso dip. They seemed to be nuked. The beer cheese didn’t taste like anything at all. Probably won’t order these again. ²⁄₅
CAJUN MAC & CHEESE ($ 11.50): Minus the sausage and onions of course. I always get this when I come here because it’s so delicious. Again, it did not compare to previous visits. It had a powerful greasy taste to it and lacked the usual spicy kick. No bueno. I’ll try something different the next time I come here. ²⁄₅
FISH TACOS ($ 13): My guy had to pull out the jalapenos because they were so spicy! He couldn’t handle the heat lol. Overall, he said this dish was just okay. ³⁄₅
THE COOKIE THING ($ 6): Hated it. Took one bite and said no way. The description made it sound like a wonderful chocolate chip cookie. Instead it looked and tasted like a burnt brownie. ¹⁄₅
DEEP FRIED OREOS ($ 6): Of course it was delicious. They’re fried oreos! It’s a huge portion of fatty goodness. Hmmmm. I swapped the cookie thing out for the oreos. 4.5÷5
SERVICE: It’s seat yourself. Also, make sure you have at least an hour and a half to spare if you choose to dine at Aces and Ales, because service is aggravatingly slow. If you can get past the slow turn out times of the kitchen staff and the slow service received by servers, Aces and Ales is a great local bar to hang out at. ²⁄₅
VIBE: I love the vibe at Aces and Ales. There’s a mix of young and old here. On my most recent visit, my husband and I were over the moon about the playlist. Aces and Ales was actually playing good music! Slipknot, Faith No More, and Slayer were our favorite bands that graced the playlist. Apparently the bartender was in charge of the music set, and we made sure to thank him for the great music before we left. ⁴⁄₅
Worth a Return Visit?
So this particular visit was a flop with the food, but my husband and I remain fans! Make sure you come with a Groupon (there’s a $ 15 for $ 30 deal for dinner), because food can get expensive real quick. I’d recommend checking out this bar if you’re big on craft beer and are looking for bar with a twist to the usual bar grub.
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #175

The service here was on point the last time we had a group outing. We had a private group of about 25 – 30 people this time, and it appeared our one waitress was struggling to keep up with our drink requests. I’m not sure if it was her fault entirely, or if the bar was that busy, but it seemed our drinks were taking at least 15 minutes from the time we ordered them. Lucky for us the food was already setup when we first arrived.
The food here is your typical bar & grill kinda food. Pizza, chicken tenders, wings, burgers and sandwiches. For our party we had pizza’s (spaghetti pizza was a hit amongst our guests), firecracker buffalo wings (pretty spicy), Arrogant Bastard Ale cheese balls (good bar snack), & meatballs (had the most left overs).
As far as drinks are concerned, they had a plethora of choices to pick from. I was like a kid in a candy store. I really enjoyed #5, #19 & #28. The number designation is how you order beer around here. If you don’t, the waitress will look at you with a clueless face, and ask for the number on the menu anyway.
This is a great place to come with your friends, relax and enjoy beers with sports. There is no shortage of T.V.‘s or drinks here.

My new favorite spot for beer drinking has just been found. As you may or may not know I enjoy great beer. No Bud, Miller, or Coors for me. Real beer is not light yellow when it pours. Just saying! Aces & Ales has at least 40 taps of all micro and craft beers. Every style of beer is available Stouts, Barleywine, Lagers, and of course IPA’s. I was totally impressed with their beer selection. Another great feature is that they also carry rare and expensive Lambics and Gueuze in large magnum size bottles. These types of beers you can cellar like a fine wine and have their flavors improve overtime. I cannot wait to get a large group together for a tasting at this place.
My friend and I ordered some food at the bar while we were sipping the delicious brews. He had what looked to be a delicious burger that was stuffed with all kinds of spicy stuff like jalapenos and pepperjack cheese. I went a different route with the fish and chips. When I received my order I was slightly disappointed with the portion that was delivered. Two 6oz chunks was all that was brought so I inquired about the portion. The bartender expressed her concerns with the portion and offered to bring out more with a charge I found out later. We were able to resolve the issue in an amicable manner. Kim was a great and friendly bartender. The food was decent. however I will be back for the 5 star beer of course. Many of there recipes seemed to incorporate beer in some form or fashion in the menu descriptions. Very nice. I will be back and hope to organize a big drink fest since this palce is open 24 hours. Sunday they have all taps on special for only $ 5.00.

This place is «hopp“ing!!!
Where Beer lovers come to unite.
Good music, good food, good service, and a HUGE beer selection. We come here frequently for the unique beer specials. There is a TV screen with what’s on tap and you can even check in on the untapped app.
I’ve tried multiple items on the menu and haven’t had a bad experience yet, so come hungry.

I can’t believe this place has bad reviews. We had a great experience here!
I had bought a Groupon for $ 15 for $ 30 worth of food and drinks, which I had no problem redeeming.
We came here for Valentine’s dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised to see hardly anyone here at 7 pm that night. You seat yourself (there is a sign explaining this), and we picked a nice booth on the bar side. I love the booths because they are pub table height but they have little rests to put your feet, so you aren’t hanging in mid-​air.
Both the greeter and server were super nice. Heather, our server, took so much time explaining craft beer offerings to us, and let us sample one or two before deciding. We had a great time trying some new drinks and talking to the staff about them.
For food, we ordered the ahi tuna salad and Arrogant Bastard steak salad (steak grilled to order). The food came out quickly, and the presentation was beautiful. Both tasted amazing. The ahi tuna was perfectly seared.
I loved the ambiance in here as well. For a little bar, it’s actually a tad romantic — low lighting, candles on the tables, great music playing.
I def. want to come back to try their Tuesday night beer flights!

We came here for a birthday, but we’ve been recommended here previously because of Ruben’s love for craft beers. I’m not a beer drinker, so my review is primarily based on the food and atmosphere. Their list of beers is impressive, mostly because of the sheer quantity, but so many were tapped out that night. Otherwise, everyone that ordered beer seemed to enjoy themselves. They also do flights or tastings, which is a great way to try several new beers!
The atmosphere is just like every neighborhood bar in town. Bar in the center, half booth seating around the exterior, dark, a few TVs, and lots of smoke. It was really clean, but I found it difficult to enjoy while smoke from the bar found its way to overwhelm me at the booth. We had a wonderful server (I wish I could remember her name) and she was with us for most of the evening. Another server took over at the very end of our duration (after checks were settled, etc) and she seemed to want to ignore us.
The food is not very good. I’ve seen many reviews mention this fact and you’d be wise to heed it. Of course, I needed to try it for myself (and you might feel the same way). We ordered Bacon Cheddar Fries ($ 8), French Fries ($ 5), and Chicken Tenders ($ 9). The fries were all right, but the bacon and cheese were not worth the extra $ 3. The cheese was not «smothered» like the menu claimed and very dry. The chicken tenders were decent. All white breast meat, moist, and nice buttermilk breading (fried). Both dishes came with their ranch dip that was really thin and didn’t have much flavor.
Come for the craft beers, eat somewhere else.
