Eating inside an arena can feel like a necessary evil—overly expensive, not-so-satisfying food wolfed down so we can get back to watching that game or concert. But what if arena grub actually made us crave it, to the point where we dropped in even on non-event days or nights? Enter Craggy Range.
Gameday Grub
The newish sports bar and grill sits inside Dollar Loan Center, home to the Henderson Silver Knights hockey team, but it can be accessed from the outside, too, starting at 2 p.m. every day. So whether you’re arriving early for an HSK tilt on the ice or simply in the neighborhood, hungry for solid food and drink options and an array of sports-focused screens, Craggy deserves consideration.
Happy hour runs weekdays from 2 till 5, and it’s a fun one. Design a “double-shelled” taco—soft and crunchy, with guac, refried black beans or nacho cheese between the layers and your pick of pulled pork, shredded chicken, ground beef, grilled shrimp, blackened cod or roasted cauliflower inside, along with various cheeses, sauces and veggies. Pair it with a snack—a basket of fries or tots, queso dip with chips or maybe some shishito peppers. And wash all that down with one of 16 rotating draft beers (locals like Able Baker, Bad Beat and Lovelady, plus Guinness, Stella and other standbys), or a handful of eligible cocktails and glasses of wine. Cost per pick? Five bucks, which means you could clean up on a sizable taco, a mountain of tots and your pint of choice for just $15.
If you’re still hungry, or if happy hour’s not happening, don’t stress out. The main menu is wide-ranging and fairly priced, from a trio of sliders with tots ($12), a roast beef Range Dip sandwich ($16) or fish & chips ($16) to bowls of mac & cheese ($13) and shrimp & grits ($16).
And if you’re a meat eater, try something made with bison—the bison burger, bison meatball linguine or even a cup of the ground bison chili. It’s a nod to the OG Craggy in Whitefish, Montana, part of a restaurant group headed by Golden Knights owner Bill Foley, who continues to sweeten the Vegas scene, on and off the ice.
