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!

Table of 6. We all got the tasting menu with extra orders of foie pintxo. Service was impeccable, Miranda was a knowledgeable host and took great care of us making our meal a memorable experience. Don't miss out on the cheese cake.

Sadly, very disappointed. I have been married to a Spanish woman for 37 years, so I have eaten my share of tapas. Neither authentic nor innovative.

Delicious food and wonderful experience. It was quiet and not too crowded. I tried this place for the first time with my friends who came up from LA to celebrate the new year and their minds were blown from how good the food was. Miranda took good care of us throughout the night. I would especially recommend the croquetas de jamon, Waygu albondigas and Spanish octopus, and seared foie. The foie just melts in your mouth. We ordered both desserts - churros and crema congelada - and both were wonderful. Thanks for the great experience!
