The Brewery Restaurant, Las Vegas, Triblend Tee

Venue History

The Brewery Restaurant, located at 3824 S. Paradise Road near the Paradise & Twain intersection, was a beloved off-Strip hangout during Las Vegas’s late-1970s and 1980s nightlife era. Matchbooks and period ads place it at that address, promoting “elegant dining” and 24-hour service, signaling a step up from a simple coffee shop to a full restaurant-lounge aimed at casino workers and locals as much as tourists. Rather than a brewing facility in the modern craft-beer sense, The Brewery used its name as a theme. Nevada’s first modern brewery restaurant in Las Vegas, Holy Cow, didn’t open until 1992, meaning The Brewery operated as a restaurant and bar with a beer-centric vibe, not a production brewery. Situated just east of the Strip resorts and a short drive from the Convention Center, The Brewery became an industry favorite. Former staff and locals recall it as a popular spot where late-shift casino employees from places like Caesars Palace would gather after work, trading the neon intensity of the Strip for a more relaxed, neighborhood atmosphere. Inside, the restaurant blended dark woods, comfortable booths, and a sizable bar—very much in line with late-’70s casual fine dining. Ads emphasized full-service, around-the-clock dining; menus of that era at comparable venues leaned heavily on steaks, seafood, hearty sandwiches, salads, and classic late-night breakfasts, paired with cocktails and a broad beer list. While the exact menu has been lost to time, The Brewery’s reputation as a go-to after-hours spot suggests generous portions and approachable prices tailored to service-industry regulars. Over time, as Las Vegas dining trends shifted toward themed mega-resort restaurants and celebrity chefs, independent spots like The Brewery gradually faded. By the early 2000s the Paradise & Twain corner was home to other tenants, and today the address is known for Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant that continues the site’s tradition as a social dining hub. Although The Brewery Restaurant has vanished from the city’s streetscape, it survives in matchbooks, advertisements, and memories as a classic example of off-Strip Las Vegas hospitality—24-hour comfort food, cold drinks, and a room full of locals unwinding after another long night under the neon.
