About Big Dog's Brewing Co. in Las Vegas

Big Dog's Hospitality Group is a family of fun and friendly neighborhood casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada where the best in food, homemade brews, gaming promotions and exceptional hospitality are served up at all times. Each of our neighborhood casinos feature 35 multi-denomination slot machines, the most aggressive combination of pay tables and promotions around, smoker and dining friendly bar areas, and smoke free dining rooms.

In June 1988, brothers Tom and George Wiesner made their start in the restaurant business when they opened the Draft House; a place famous for its genuine warm Wisconsin hospitality. Located in the Northwest area of Las Vegas, menu favorites include bratwurst, walleye, hamburgers, sandwiches, salads and soups. In August 1992, the restaurant expanded to the Draft House Barn & Casino, giving Las Vegas its first dining barn and Packer Fan Club. In 2004, the company built its second brewery facility at the Draft House. The facility houses Big Dog's Brewing Company's 15-barrel microbrewery system. Award winning Brewmaster Dave Otto, formerly of the company's now closed Holy Cow! Brewery on the Las Vegas Strip, brews a wide range of beers to suit everyone's taste including light beers, ales, porters, and stouts.

Offering the same friendly hospitality as Draft House, Big Dog's Bar & Grill opened on April 12, 1991 in Northeast Las Vegas. A dog lover's dream, this location features eclectic canine décor, great food, and gaming fun. "Player's Best Friend" became the motto for this successful location and our company went to the dogs!

In spring of 1992, the family of Big Dog's Hospitality Group grew to three locations with the addition of Big Dog's Café & Casino on West Sahara. The Café & Casino features a collection of classic doggie artwork, a great bar atmosphere, traditional Big Dog's menu, and fine banquet and meeting facilities.

Each of the neighborhood casinos possesses a non-restricted gaming license with 35 state of the art LCD multi-denom gaming machines. Smoking and dining with our full menu is legally offered in our bar areas. Our dining rooms are reserved for non-smoking dining.
