Everything is 100% fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled on-site using a state-of-the-art German still.

Enjoy tastings at the famous vintage bar rescued from the old Las Vegas strip—a favorite of the Rat Pack. Open daily except Tuesday and Wednesday.

3. Black Bridge Brewery · 60 min

   Experience Kingman's original craft brewery at Black Bridge Brewery, established in August 2013 on historic Route 66's Beale Street. Locally known as B3, this beloved downtown microbrewery was named after a railroad bridge that served as a secret gathering spot for locals since the 1960s. The brewery has created an atmosphere blending art, music, and exceptional craft beer. Sample year-round favorites like Evil Red IPA, Wicked Poison, Locomotive Stout, and Scorched Earth—a ghost pepper-infused specialty that's become a local legend. With over 20 craft brews on tap, including seasonal offerings like Prickly Pear Pale Ale, there's something for every palate. Non-drinkers can enjoy signature handcrafted ginger beer or cold-brew coffee. The cozy taproom features a small interior bar and an expansive backyard patio with a redwood stage hosting live music most weekends. Though food isn't served on-site, neighboring restaurants deliver directly to your table.
