Lynyrd Skynyrd BBQ and Beer Review

The band behind "Sweet Home Alabama," and "Free Bird," has found its Las Vegas castle.

Lynyrd Skynyrd BBQ & Beer at the Excalibur Hotel & Casino is a unique restaurant and nightlife concept in the former location of Sherwood Café.

The team behind Vegas hotspots Rhumbar and Tacos & Tequila brought the rock 'n' roll-inspired venue along with classic hits, signature drinks and Texas-style BBQ to the Las Vegas Strip.

Upon entry, guests are transported to the Jacksonville, Fla., backwoods shack that Skynyrd's sound originated from, lovingly called "Hell House." The décor consists of collectible items, from original album covers and guitars hanging on the wall to never-before-seen artwork and band pictures.

The center of the action is the concert stage featuring a variety of cover bands and musical acts, including special performances from the legendary band throughout the year. Each night the enthusiastic bar staff gets the house swinging and singing by hopping up on the bars and stage, leading spontaneous sing-alongs to mash ups of classic Skynyrd songs, such as "What's Your Name" and "Gimme Three Steps."

Lynyrd Skynyrd BBQ & Beer also offers an extensive selection of whiskey and bourbon in addition to creative and flavorful shots served from the Jack Daniels shot bar. A wide assortment of beers on tap and longnecks, including Texas favorites Shiner Bock and Lone Star will help quench any thirst.

A retail section complete with a frozen daiquiri bar provides an added experience for guests. In addition to Lynyrd Skynyrd BBQ & Beer signature clothing, glassware and accessories, the store features vintage collectibles from the band's storied past including autographed guitars, exclusive group photos and original memorabilia.

Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Lynyrd Skynyrd BBQ & Beer transforms into a late night, high-energy rock club in the evening.
