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!

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.

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
