Visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly quiet. Not the most appealling location with the highway almost running above it.
The beer choice was fantastic. Several of their own brews and beers and about ten from various other breweries. I particularly enjoyed the Hop Ride IPA which is brewed onsite. Take outs were available in growlers, bottles and cans. No food is served but i understand they have local caterers visit a couple of times a week.
Well worth a visit, take a cab/Uber/ Lyft especially if coming from the strip.

Went there on a Saturday at 5pm. There was about 100 people. I loved the location and that they had a HUGE FENCE around the parking lot (remember this IS north Las Vegas). I felt that my car was very safe.
I would not say it was slammed, and they only had two people behind the bar - that's it. I did not witness any servers, or table service of any kind. Service wasn't slow, because there was none. Service was non-existent. I can't believe that this place goes through all the trouble to have such a great establishment, and then they are too stupid and under-staff the place. I guess they just don't want business.
Don't believe all the reviews. This is VEGAS BABY and the people that run it know how to use...SOCIAL MEDIA! The place had NO MUSIC and with all the talking and shouting it was too loud. The vibe was good, but they need some sound dampening throughout the main bar area. They also need to have music playing. When I walked outside by the food truck I could hear music (they don't serve food, but there was a food truck outside).
I used the bathroom, and left. I never got a beer. I didn't feel like waiting. Probably a great place, but management isn't so good (I'm guessing). It's either that or they are all stoners and don't care.

We live in the area - and this is by far our favorite brewery in Las Vegas. Located in an industrial part of Las Vegas, we appreciate the large, free parking lot.
In additional to their own brews (my favorite is the Bonanza Brown) - they have several other rotating taps. Always something interesting.
Atmosphere is friendly, modern and bright. Love the tables by the windows.
Note: Henderson (located next to Vegas) also has some outstanding breweries

As we made it our mission to visit Tenaya Creek, it took the Uber about 20 mins from the Strip. But it was well worth it, with great artwork and a food truck outside and the Golden Knights playing. Couldn't ask for much more. They hold a surprisngly large amount of beers and ciders on file inclusive of their own and few others. Seems a perfect spot to chill, unforunately we did not get the chance to tour the actual brewery. BUT i will say we planned to visit two more breweries after this one, but we were so content. We decided to stop here.

I try to visit new breweries everywhere I go and while in Las Vegas around Christmas, I was looking for new brew and decided to ask other beer writers and craft beer fans where to visit. One of the places they recommended was Tenaya Creek Brewery.
Tenaya Creek turned out to be just as great as everyone said it would be and I like the spacious layout and ample seating that includes an outdoor patio where you can even take your dog, if you like. This new facility was just opened near the end of 2015 and it was necessary to accommodate the growing demand for the beer. From what I can see, the large space in the brewhouse has room to spare, so this new facility should last them for a while.
Tenaya Creek offers a large number of its own beers on tap and also some guest beers from other breweries. I did a flight sampler of five beers when I visited and enjoyed them all, but I was particularly fond of the Imperial Stout. Big and roasty, with flavors of licorice, toffee, and caramel, this beer was the strongest of the beers I tried and also the most memorable, although the others were very tasty in their own way.
This brewery is staffed with dedicated personnel and I appreciated the quick, attentive service I received. I got into a nice conversation with the young lady behind the bar and she filled me in on Tenaya Creek’s history and mission. The vibe here is laid back and comfortable; friendly and non- pretentious, even though the beer’s quality and other factors have certainly earned the establishment the right to brag.
Visiting breweries will always be part of any vacation plans I happen to make and I am very happy that I took the time to visit Tenaya Creek Brewery. Others recommended it to me and their positive assessments of the beer and other qualities were spot- on. It’s one of Nevada’s best breweries and I look forward to the day when its beers are distributed closer to home.

Great taproom located not far from downtown. While many locations downtown are sketchy at best, this place is clean, upscale and thoroughly inviting. Really appreciate the safe (as in large, fenced and well lit) offstreet parking. Best crafthouse beer selection we have found in Las Vegas - and we have been to most. Swag was inspired, but pricey. Despite the prices, we bought a ton of stuff. Only downside: no food offered.
Highly recommend

About a 15 minute walk from the top of Fremont Street is this little gem of a brewery.
We tried 15 of the brews available, most of them in house brews, and wow! what a selection.
Really knowledgeable staff, and further proof (if needed) that not all American beer is yellow and fizzy.
If you like beer, worth the effort to walk, or cab or Uber to visit.
There is no food provided by the brewery, but a food truck visits at 6pm most days.

At the urging of a friend who lives in town, I stopped by Tenaya Creek for a couple flights. Btw, while the creek itself is pronounced /ten EYE uh/, here are the brewery they say /ten AY uh/. I found that odd.
Anyway, I tried most everything they were offering, which included 10 of their house brews and 14 or 15 guest beers. They had some really good stuff of their own and were not afraid to bring in good stuff from other breweries. Staff was awesome, too. I'd go back!

Impressed with this brewery. Near Fremont/Downtown with plenty of safe parking. Loved the Hauling Oats nitro & Hop Ride IPA. (7.2%) the best. Girlfriend enjoyed the Bonanza Brown (5.6%). Clean & new. Lots of seating inside & out. No food. They also have cider and soda. They have several guest brews. First brewery I've been to that serves pinot grigio wine (they have several wines) ... WHAT? Girlfriend's favorite wine but the beer is soooooo good - forget the wine. Loved this place and will be back for sure!! Bartender friendly and does a great pour. Oh, good music too - Beatles playing now.

I'm giving Tenaya Creek 4 stars, not 5 because of the lack of a food menu.
The beers are great!! - especially their lighter fare -- Kolsch, Pils, Hefe, Lager, etc....
- Tried the sampler, and a beer --- would have stayed for more, but I was driving.
Katy, bar tender was helpful and friendly.
Swag was unique, well-priced and cool.
Venue is great with outdoor seating, big back room bar stools, high0tops, etc..
Definitely worth the visit when in Vegas.
- just north of the Strip. (next time taking Uber)
Parking: Large paved lot
Beers: Yes! Great
Bathrooms: Clean and large
Unique: Board games to enjoy
Food: None
Staff: Friendly, patient and knowledgable
Would recomend: Yes!
Would re-patronize: Yes (see above)
