Guests who stay at Colorado Belle Hotel Casino & Microbrewery enjoy the widest variety of dining options in Laughlin, from a fine steak and seafood restaurant set in a French Quarter atmosphere to gourmet pizza, burgers and steaks in Laughlin’s award-winning microbrewery! All restaurants are wheelchair accessible, and all major credit cards accepted.

Named “Best Microbrewery” in an annual survey, the Boiler Room Brew Pub is a great sports bar with an award-winning menu. The restaurant’s décor is reminiscent of a ship’s boiler room. Four very different beers--Pale Ale, Golden Ale, Amber Ale and Stout--are regular menu items brewed on property. A fifth beer, the “Brewmaster’s Choice”, features a different beer every six weeks. New to the Boiler Room is the 60-oz. beer growler, complete with cap and Boiler Room logo. Microbrews-to-go in growlers are $12.95. Refills are $5.

Voted best barbecue, Mark Twain’s Chicken, Ribs & Steaks is Colorado Belle’s award-winning steakhouse. The restaurant offers a variety of seating, from river views to intimate “fireside”.

Unique to Mark Twain’s is the Barbecue Shrimp dish, featuring four jumbo shrimp stuffed with fresh sweet horseradish, wrapped in smokehouse bacon, lightly seasoned with barbecue sauce, grilled over a hardwood broiler and glazed with barbecue sauce.
