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!

this place was better than I could’ve even expect. our server was incredibly knowledgeable of the dishes were incredibly delicious and artfully presented. The JAMON IBERICO & MANCHEGO BOCADILLO made its way around the à la cart tray and impressed me with his rich and savory fusion flavors. we ended up trying a number of different à la cart tapas which to our surprised we’re incredibly filling. By the time we the BOCATA DE WAGYU came out we were almost entirely too full but had to try it because that incredible looking burger was delicious to resist. This burger was is an indulgent sandwich that perfectly balances luxury and flavor. The tender, buttery Wagyu beef is the star, melting in your mouth with every bite. The creamy Brie adds a rich, velvety texture, while the heirloom tomatoes bring a burst of sweetness and freshness. Mustard greens provide a peppery bite, complementing the tangy onions. The Ibarra aioli ties everything together with a hint of spice and depth. Each ingredient is thoughtfully paired, making this a sophisticated yet satisfying take on a classic bocadillo. Ou server informed us that the menu is always changing so I cannot wait to go back and try this place again . 10/10

Loved our first experience here. Beautiful decor and aesthetics, friendly service, and amazing food! The only negative I have is it’s insanely hot in temperature in the restaurant. I was wearing a crop tank and skirt and my friend was wearing a similar outfit, and we were both sweating and uncomfortable. They switched us tables to the other side of the restaurant, but unfortunately it was still very hot despite drinking tons of water. We would definitely come back, but it would have to be in the cooler months so we aren’t so uncomfortable.

Immediately start with sangria’s. Best sangria I’ve had in a very long time. We enjoyed several pintxos, each one unique & tasty. I love their clever concept of the “dim sum” cart presentation. Some of my favorite entrées were the octopus with little white potatoes and the clams with chorizo. The broth was so good, I wanted to pick up my bowl and finish it. Order a churro for yourself. You will regret ordering just 1 to share because it is so incredibly delicious. We had the opportunity to meet the Chef. She is passionate about her work. The staff was kind & knowledgeable of the menu. Yes, I would highly recommend & we will return because the fun will be experiencing the Chef’s evolving menu with the seasons.

The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and warm. The presentation and taste of the food is excellent. The chefs have visited Spain to bring back authentic flavors while still giving their own unique touches to the dishes. The main menu is relatively small, which is not a bad thing at all since they can focus on quality over quantity. Pinxtos are brought out on a cart, dim sum style, with a server explaining each item. Some dishes are seasonal, which means new things to look forward to with repeat visits. I look forward to eating here again.

Decided to go for an early dinner not knowing what to expect. So glad we went. Miranda, our server, walked us through the menu highliting all the goodies we should try. Her and her service were top notch. The menu reflects Chef Justin's travels through Spain and his own takes on different tapas and traditional dishes. The Octopus was a must. Cooked to perfection with a smoky finish. Table side pintxos were also a cool surprise, start with the foie, AMAZING! Go give his team a shot at impressing you, we definitely were. We will be back

Went for tapas with my wife and son. Service was excellent, our waiter on point and throughly knowledgeable about the menu. The food had high’s and low’s. Some bites more flavorful than others. Overall an interesting experience!
