Beer Zombies: Where the Horde and On-Tap Drinks Never Sleep

Bar Area at Beer Zombie in Boulder City

Some bars are forgettable—just another draft list. But some places? Some places have a pulse. Beer Zombies isn’t just a brewhouse. It’s an uprising.

This is where craft beer lovers gather to sip bold, rotating brews. Beer Zombies handcrafts each drink in a space where an offbeat midnight scene comes to life.

With haunting murals, a passion for the undead, and a daring tap list, Beer Zombies serves as both a sanctuary for craft beer enthusiasts and a spot where casual drinkers can discover something unexpected.

Raising The Dead, One Pint At A Time

Vegas is packed with bars, breweries, and taprooms, each trying to stand out. Some throw neon on the walls and call it a day. Others stick to the script—play it safe, keep it approachable, and pour the same predictable lineup week after week.

Beer Zombies does none of that. With multiple locations in Las Vegas and Boulder City, no two visits are ever the same—because here, the taps don’t just rotate. They evolve.

Walking into the Boulder City location, the tap handles catch your eye, but it’s the atmosphere that hits first. The dim glow of neon skulls cast long shadows.

The walls, covered in macabre murals, feel like something between a horror movie set and an underground speakeasy. There’s an energy to it—laid-back, yet rebellious.

The soundtrack shifts between punk, metal, and indie—music that’s rough around the edges but always intentional. The crowd? A mix of die-hard craft fans dissecting tasting notes and newcomers who just ordered a beer because the can art looked cool.

And the beer? That’s where things really get interesting.

Small Barrels, Big Impact

Some places have a “flagship lineup”—a collection of ordinary, predictable beers that never change. Beer Zombies would rather shut off the taps than pour something forgettable.

Here, the beer menu is alive, always changing, always unexpected. What’s pouring today, could be gone by tomorrow. The taps are loaded with:

  • Juicy, Hazy IPAs – Exploding with tropical flavors, hitting you with waves of citrus, mango, and pine. The kind of beer that drinks like a sunset and looks like fresh-squeezed juice.
  • West Coast IPAs – Crisp and clean, cutting through the nonsense with bold bitterness and clarity. Resinous pine, sharp grapefruit, and a finish that bites back.
  • Stouts as Thick as Motor Oil – Dripping with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and bourbon-barrel depth. A slow sipper, revealing new layers with every drink.
  • Face-Puckering Sours – Funky, fruity, and just the right amount of kick. Some slap you with tartness; others creep up with a balanced zing.
  • Experimental Brews – Because why play it safe when you can play with fire? Unexpected ingredients. Surprising flavors. And somehow, they just work.

If you’re indecisive, don’t stress. The bartenders know their stuff—not just what’s on tap, but what fits your taste. They won’t push a beer on you, but they’ll help you find something you actually like.

And when a rare keg hits the taps? It’s survival of the fastest. The best ones don’t last long—and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Boulder City: A Little Grittier, A Little Rowdier

Beer Zombies has multiple locations, but the Boulder City location hits differently.

It’s raw, unfiltered, and a little edgy. Like a biker bar meets an underground taproom—where the beer is bold, the crowd knows their stuff, and the energy is undeniable. No lifeless lagers here. Only the real deal.

If Vegas bars are about spectacle, Boulder City is about substance.

Regulars roll in already knowing what’s on tap. They’re here for the new drop, the latest small-batch release, or a barrel-aged beast that only made it to a handful of kegs. They don’t just drink beer; they chase it down, anatomize it, and debate which hazy IPA hits harder.

This is where you go when you’re done with watered-down pours when you’re ready for something sick!

Events That Keep the Horde Coming Back

If there’s one thing Beer Zombies does right—aside from the beer—it’s the events.

  • Tap Takeovers – The kind of event where you can get your hands on a beer you’d normally have to travel out-of-state for. Show up fast because these kegs don’t last.
  • Pop-Ups & Collabs – From local favorites to well-known breweries across the country, Beer Zombies collaborates with some of the best in the industry. Limited releases. One-time brews. Blink and you’ll miss them.
  • Rare Keg Tappings – Some beers exist in batches so small they might never be poured again. When one hits the lines? First come, first served, it’s that cutthroat.

Beyond the Bar: The Horde Expands

Beer Zombies started in Vegas, but it didn’t stay there. The horde is growing, the brand is expanding, and Chris Jacobs, the mind behind it all, isn’t slowing down.

Even with the Warm Springs location closing, the energy hasn’t died. In fact, this was so they could open up their official brewery and bottle shop in the heart of the city.

Beer Zombies is still hosting tap takeovers and collaborating with brewers across the country, proving that there’s a cure for dead brews.

Beer as a Rebellion Leading a Movement

Vegas has always been a town built on rebellion, and Beer Zombies taps into that spirit. Every pint here is a defiant push against the watered-down lifeless lagers, the soulless, and the corporate monotony.

It’s a movement, a mob rising again across the Vegas Valley, one pour at a time.

Beer Zombies is about community, creativity, and never drinking the same thing twice.

If you want brews that keep you on your toes, then Beer Zombies is your go-to destination.
