7th & Carson
Among the new dishes consulting chef Sam DeMarco has introduced at this downtown mainstay is the Big Dipper Sandwich: shaved smoked brisket on pretzel bread with horseradish cream and au jus.

How’s this for beer & pretzels: The pretzel offered at CraftHaus’ original Henderson brewery as well as its new Arts District space is actually made from spent grain used to brew the beer. The finished product is topped with “everything bagel” seasoning, and is available with a side of beer cheese and bacon jam, $4 and up.
