Voted best BBQ in Nevada, and the happy hour at SoulBelly BBQ in the Arts District is one of the better-kept deals on Main Street. Chef Bruce Kalman built this place around Central Texas-style smoked meats, hyper-local craft beer, and live music โ and the happy hour gives you a low-stakes way in.
Order This:
- Cornbread Slider with Pulled Pork & Coleslaw ($5) โ a full-flavor bite in a compact package, and at five dollars it’s almost rude not to order two
- Beer & Shot Combo ($10) โ straightforward, well-priced, and exactly right for the vibe
The SoulBelly happy hour runs TueโFri 2โ5pm with a reverse happy hour Fri & Sat 9โ10pm. Those two windows are worth knowing about. The daytime set pulls Arts District regulars and off-duty industry; the late-night window catches the crowd coming off First Friday or a show. Either way, you’re sitting near two large smoking chambers in the courtyard, drinking local beer, and eating BBQ from a chef who actually knows what he’s doing. That’s the pitch. ๐ฅ
Closed Mondays. Open TueโThu 11amโ9pm, FriโSat 11amโ10pm, Sun 11amโ9pm.
