BY C. MOON REED
hings are happening in Downtown Henderson. The historic Water Street District has been working hard to become a major destination, now home to an array of food and drink options along with other fun activities. In addition to the permanent attractions, look to Water Street Plaza for festivals and special events, such as Golden Knights viewing parties and the recent Pacific Islander Festival & Ho’olaule’a. Here are a few more of our Water Street faves.

EAT: Biscuits and Bourbon With so many delicious restaurants now calling Water Street home, it’s difficult to pick a favorite. (Shouts out to Juan’s Flaming Fajitas & Cantina and Chef Flemming’s BakeShop!) At Biscuits and Bourbon, the revitalization of Water Street is baked right into the mission. Plus, the elevated Southern menu is flat-out delicious. Try the biscuit bennies on the brunch menu, with either fried chicken, tri-tip or pork belly. Pork rinds, country poutine, Nashville hot watermelon and a wide selection of smoked meats highlight the dinner menu. 109 S. Water St., 702-986-0307, bandbonwater.com.
DRINK: Lovelady Brewing Company Nobody goes thirsty on Water Street. With Hardway 8, Public Works Coffee Bar, Sticks Tavern, multiple casinos and more lining the thoroughfare, there’s something in a glass or cup for everybody. For many, that place is the Lovelady’s welcoming tap room. The family-owned business has become known for its beer, from the 9th Island Pineapple Sour to the HopAtomic double IPA and best-selling Love Juice hazy IPA. The 1,400 square-foot tap room features 16 handles, bar games and a dog friendly patio. 20 S. Water St., 702-564-3030, loveladybrewing.com.
