Locally owned by Brewmaster Chris Jacobs Beer Zombies began as a social media concept in 2013, his partnership with SkinnyFats’ Reed Slobusky eventually yielding a Bottle Bar and taps on Warm Springs with the Downtown Summerlin Draft Room joining the family in early June.
Now comprised of four locations including Salt Lake City, the rest serving SkinnyFats new menu created by Chef Marc Marrone, it is inside the standalone shop at 2010 Festival Plaza Drive Suite 140 that guests will find more Beers than seats, plus ten new Food items in addition to daily specials.
All pounded steel, televisions and independent craft-breweries, plus a Zombie-modded Big Buck Hunter arcade game, guests can order full glasses or 5oz flights in varying styles, the Zombie Gummi Double Jammer pairing particularly well to silky Beer Cheese served with too few Pretzels as well as Roasted Onion Dip with crave-worthy housemade Salt n’ Vinegar Chips.
Keeping things simple, affordable items that pair well to Beer an obvious focus, three Salads make up the menu’s center, Arugula doing what Arugula does amidst its accoutrements while “Dumpster Gems” eats a lot like Marrone’s Chop Salad from Gemma Gemma’s with added crunch.
A small enough space to feel lively with only a handful of guests, both music and television tuned to channels designed for those with ADHD, Beer Zombies’ Pizza features an identical Crust to Marc’s 72-hour ferment sold in Southwest Las Vegas, while a toasted Prime Rib Sandwich for $13 offers great flavor and plenty of tender Beef ready to be plunged into Jus.
THREE AND A HALF STARS: A unique space in otherwise humdrum Downtown Summerlin, Beer Zombies Draft Room undoubtedly knows its target audience, the variety of Brews sure to please fans of Las Vegas’ local Beer scene while Marc Marrone’s Food is predictably excellent, albeit limited in scope and sold at a premium in comparison to Gemma Gemma’s Square Pies or Graffiti Bao.
RECOMMENDED: Toasted Prime Rib Dip, Pizza, Sour Cream n’ Onion Dip.
AVOID: The Arugula Salad won’t change any negative opinions about Arugula, and Hazy Beer Cheese needs several more Pretzels.
TIP: 11a-11p Monday through Thursday, 11a-1a Friday and Saturday.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.
