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!

For food lovers who want to get out of their comfort zone and try something new - the quality is amazing. Red and white sangrias are worth to try - excited for them to be opening for brunch. We will be back.

Aloha, when visiting LV we love trying new restaurants. ADB (A Different Beast) was suggested as a newer tapas restaurant to try. We enjoyed the pre-fixe and wine pairing along with add-ons. A little pricey doing it this way. Next time we’ll know to go Ala Carte. Over all it was pretty good. Enjoy.

Thank you Robin for the review! We like to recommend first time guest to try the tasting menu so now when you visit again you have your favorites! Hope to see you again soon!

A Different Beast is exactly that in every good way possible. Every bite transported us back to Spain. The chef/owner Kat and all of the staff were the icing on the cake of an absolutely exceptional dining experience. Don’t sleep on ADB.

ADB is a fresh new twist on dim sum and tapas, with AMAZING food. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about the nuances of each dish. Chef Justin, the owner, even stopped by to chat. He genuinely cares about the quality and where the ingredients are sourced from. The Spanish tapas were authentic and delicious. We will definitely be returning!

Very good take on tapas/pintxos. Didn't have the appetite for the big tasting menu but it looks like that may be the way to go if you are up for it. Our dishes off the a la carte menu were all well executed and delicious. And the churros are exquisite.

Thank you for your kind words Patrick. We hope you come back soon and try our tasting menu!
