1. Las Vegas Distillery (7330 Eastgate Road, 702-629-7534) Owned and operated by George Racz, the Las Vegas Valley’s first and only distillery produces vodka, rum, bourbon, moonshine and plenty more. But make sure you get the full tour before sitting down to sip on some Grandma’s Apple Pie. Racz expanded operations recently to include a gift shop/tasting room, chocolate factory and an experimentation nook, where’s he’s collaborating on a line of bitters with Mr. Fredrickson’s. Just remember to take it easy; you’ve still got a lot of exploring to do. (Tours Monday-Friday, 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on the hour)

2. Bad Beat Brewing (200 steps south of Las Vegas Distillery. 7380 Eastgate Rd. #110, badbeatbrewing.com) There’s lots to enjoy at this brewery started by Nathan Hall, Weston Barkley and Mike Dominak, but start with a six-beer flight to find your favorite (good luck—the menu includes Hefeweizen, pale ale, IPA and stout, all of which are mighty tasty). And while you’re mulling it over, play some free shuffleboard or classic NES games like Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! There’s also Cards Against Humanity, in case you’re with friends who dig a good dirty joke. (Thursday, 4:30-11 p.m.; Friday, 4:30 p.m.-midnight; Saturday, 3 p.m.-midnight; Sunday, 3-11 p.m.)

3. CraftHaus (350 steps northeast of Bad Beat. 7350 Eastgate Rd. #110, 702-415-9184) Dave and Wyndee Forrest’s brewery always promises something new. In addition to the two regular beers, IPA and saison, brewers Steph Cope and Steve Brockman are always experimenting. And there’s plenty of space to relax in and chat up your fellow beer lovers, as well as a bit of nostalgia, courtesy of a Simon game in the corner. Reaction times may vary depending on the amount you drink. (Wednesday-Friday, 5-10 p.m.; Saturday, noon-10 p.m.; Sunday, noon-8 p.m.)

4. Grape Expectations (350 steps north of CraftHaus, 7360 Eastgate Rd. #125, 702-806-3383) Two times a year, customers can crush, press, rack and bottle their own wine (a three-week period in the fall and a nine-day period in spring). The rest of the year, you can tour the facility and begin getting some ideas for when the Californian or South American varietals come in. And while you can’t currently drink here, General Manager Mike Schownbaechler hopes to have “sampling tours” available soon. (Tours Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, noon-4 p.m.; Sunday by appointment)

5. Vegas Brewing Co. (70 steps from Grape Expectations, opening mid-October. 7360 Eastgate Rd. #115) Los Angeles transplant Sean Geer has years of experience running his own home-brewing shop, and his soon-to-open operation will be unique in the Booze District: The tasting room is part of the brewery. In addition to 15 taps upon opening (IPAs, orange wheat and Belgians, with an eye to expanding to 30 taps), Geer’s brewery will also hold brewing demos and classes. “This will be a place where you come to learn about beer.” And for those who just want to hang out, they’ll have their choice of video games, shuffleboard or the Cornhole beanbag-toss game.
