The Front Yard
$Ellis Island was home to one of Las Vegas’ first breweries, opened in 1998. And while their brewing now takes place in Utah, the Ellis family still produces a well-rounded collection of quality craft beers, available throughout the casino. But there’s no better spot to enjoy them than in The Front Yard. Unveiled in 2019, the two-level beer garden features an atrium with unobstructed views of the Vegas Strip, retractable ceiling shades, expansive windows, lush garden walls and several TVs including a huge 18-foot-screen for optimal sports viewing.
As for the beer, standards are a Bavarian-style hefeweizen, amber ale, IPA and an easy-drinking light. Rotating specialties include pilsner and seasonal stout, and there’s almost always a rauchbier made with smoked malt (making this the only local brewery to regularly carry the hard-to-find style). This brewery also wins the prize for the most reasonably priced beer in town: standard beers are $4 and specialties are $6 all the time, for imperial (20-oz) pints!
The food menu features items that pair well with beer, with the likes of flatbreads, beer-brined wings, burgers and BBQ specialties like brisket sandwich and pork belly bites. Brunch is served daily, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
