Experience the flavors of Basque and Catalonian pintxos brought to life right here in Las Vegas.
We have a deep appreciation for Spanish cuisine from various regions, but the Basque country and Catalonia truly captured our hearts. These regions, steeped in history, art, and natural beauty, have been a wellspring of inspiration across creative disciplines. What draws us back time and again is the incredible food and the sense of liberation that comes with the dining experience.
At A Different Beast, we want to extend this experience to you, because when it comes to food, sharing is caring.
We encourage you to set aside the past and the future, and join us for a glass of sangria or two, sample a selection of tapas, and indulge in an array of pintxos brought to your table dim-sum style. VIVIR EL MOMENTO!

Table of 6. We all got the tasting menu with extra orders of foie pintxo. Service was impeccable, Miranda was a knowledgeable host and took great care of us making our meal a memorable experience. Don't miss out on the cheese cake.

Thank you for visiting! We're glad you and your party enjoyed the tasting menu plus all that foie. We hope to see you again.

Sadly, very disappointed. I have been married to a Spanish woman for 37 years, so I have eaten my share of tapas. Neither authentic nor innovative.

Great hidden gem! The tasting menu was only $89 and was incredible. Their pixtos dishes rotate and are all worth the grab. Pair each dish with a wine tasting or opt for a glass of house made sangria. Recommending to visitors and locals!

Food, service and value were spot on. If you want a refreshing change from overpriced steakhouses and Italian restaurants, this is worth a try.
