"Pretty cool little bar! My friend and I came across here when Blue Iguana had an hour wait"
We had a wonderful Sunday Brunch, and why not a couple of IPAs to go with it. Susie pubs, like Irish and English pubs are common for us in Thailand, especially Bangkok and many tourists locations as well. However I was not expecting one in Salt Lake City. And to go a step further one of this authentic caliber. It's the real deal. The owner was milling about the place, seemed to be preoccupied with employee issues, I was hoping to have a chat with him as to what possessed him to open "A Pub" I the downtown district of Salt Lake City. Sunday was our only day here, we were hungry, when I feel like eating, pubs are my thing. The menu was brunch only on Sunday. No worries here, they had an excellent choice for customers. I really was enjoying their food, well done. Beers? Yes and plenty of good choices. Staff are friendly and chatty. The pubs design is comfortable with sports channels booming. We asked to see a football ⚽ match, yes the one Americans call soccer. They switched it on for us. Cons Wasn't too pleased with a group of youthful types that brought in their dogs. Yes two dogs. Not sure why that was allowed. They kept petting one of them putting it up on the bar. Then another escaped and ran down the walkway of the bar near where we were sitting. It took at dump (as I was eating) very near me. Seriously! That was revolting. One of the staff discovered the dung, cleaned it up but did nothing about getting rid of the dogs. Hmmm. That is my only complaint. Cheers.
I met people here per the recommendation of a friend. I walked upstairs and EDM music was playing. I felt a little out of the place due to the grunge vibe but I can see people were enjoying themselves. I checked out downstairs and it was more my vibe. Chill music and easy access to the bar. Drinks were reasonably priced and made well by the bartenders. I was attended to well by the bartending staff. I didn’t try the food. I will have to come back for that experience. The bathrooms though were trashed and stunk. Overall the place can clean up. I did park down the street which is to be expected downtown.

Had dinner here on a Tuesday evening. Place was absolutely dead; only 2 other people at the bar and they left before I even got my beer. Despite that the bartender didn't speak with me almost at all beyond getting my beer and food order. Ordered a Guinness, the cheesesteak sandwich with double steak, and a side salad. The side salad was a Cesar, but I wasn't told that, so I ordered it with blue cheese dressing. It was fine. The cheesesteak was subpar. It certainly didn't seem to have double the steak and it was very dry; steak was overcooked and it needed a lot more cheese. Overall, it was disappointing.

Pretty cool little bar! My friend and I came across here when Blue Iguana had an hour wait. Ordered yummy fries & chicken tenders. The bartender was attentive by keeping our water glasses full (without asking him to do so). The gentleman who brought out our food was super attentive with good service skills. We'll definitely come back to this bar... especially because they played several songs from Nine Inch Nails' album, 'Pretty Hate Machine'. Super impressed with this bar.... we came in for their $5 Margarita Monday.

Really cool place especially during the day, they had music on the patio it was awesome. There was a gnat in my water and then one in my old fashioned. One of the workers followed me in the bathroom and made it real weird.. maybe it was because I had my camera bag? I didn't like it. As soon as he saw me using the bathroom he closed the door and went off again.The only problem is they served me in the day but not in the night because of my ID.

This was, unfortunately, one of the worst bars I've been to. Understaffed, with a single barman who had to refer to the drinks menu a lot to make the drinks, and still managed to unfortunately make the worst Old Fashioned I've ever had. Our party were getting pretty harassed by a bunch of drunks and the barman seemed more interested in serving them more rather than moving them along or calling them on their behaviour. Can't recommend.
I DJ’d here twice and both times I had a GREAT time. Friendly staff, cool venue. And even better EVERYONE I brought to the venue had a great time too. Def would recommend as a DJ or artist looking for a venue or as a music lover looking to hear new artists. They have two floors for two different vibes. Check out their Instagram before coming to see who’s playing!

Would give a -10 if that was an option. Worst service we have experienced, ever. Took 1 hour to get our food and drink order, after an additional hour our food wasn’t out and the server asked if we still wanted it made….what the actual hell? No clue how this place has stayed open. Y’all need a complete overhaul. Seems to be severely short staffed and the kicker was that it was over half empty!! Please do better.
Food was trash, service was trash. Drinks were weak and overpriced. Not another dollar from me. Update: After receiving the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant, I left just a 15% tip, which was more than fair for what I got. In balancing my checking account, I discovered the server adjusted it herself to be a 22% tip. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

This bar has decent drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. During the week it can be pretty dead but they’ve been working on more of a live music scene upstairs, with various ways to contribute or just watch. For example, if you have a small band or are an individual performer, there’s open mic night or you can schedule to be featured. On the weekends, it gets pretty busy downstairs.
Love coming to both locations. The food is good and the bartenders are super friendly. I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a quick lunch or to hang out with friends Overall a great place!

Not kid friendly as it is a bar.
Came here for a stop on the mimosa crawl. Two thumbs down! We sat down at a table and waited 20 minutes for our dirty table to be cleared off and wiped off. No server came to our table, we had to go to the bar to order, no champagne flutes and the mimosas are lukewarm. My girls and I will not come back. …
Great small place to grab a late night easy food. Great drinks and a private atmosphere. Had a solo artist doing self written music as well as cover songs. (she was fantastic). Great small little pub

I haven't been since the new ownership and probably won't return. Three of us sat at the bar and got 1 round; after that, there was no service. I'm pretty patient when a place is busy, but there were three bartenders, and it wasn't even half full of people.

Had some decent drinks and the club was open until 2am (they stopped selling alcohol by 1am). Their DJ could be more flexible as his playlist was not entertaining most of the people there and he stated his Mac was “offline” - so he couldn’t take requests. That made laugh but anyways …
Amazing bar and food! The fact that they allow dogs is amazing! I love the specialty drinks and food. The food that they have and specialty drinks that they have are amazing. Come in Saturday and Sunday for brunch until 4pm. And the Sunday night until Friday for dinner specials until 12am.
This place is a hidden gem imo. Nice decor, friendly staff, reasonable prices. I got nachos both times I came here, which were really good. It’s standard bar food, and it’s a lot better than many of the more popular breweries in sugarhouse. I’ll be coming back.
Good venue. The bar is good. It's on main Street SLC, so parking is limited, but the venue is good. Above the bar they have more of a club scene with a dance floor. Provides options as far as what you are looking for

Cheap beer on Wednesdays, but don't order the nachos! God awful liquid cheese food slopped on chips and pickled peppers. Surely real Aussies don't serve that!

Went there for the Halloween contest this year after it was advertised on their site. Turns out they “forgot” to follow through with the contest. Waste of a night. Wish I went somewhere else for the holiday.

Popped in around 2pm for a drink. Good music playing, good service. Not the place for wine or champagne... But love the local peach seltzer they have. $5 for a pint. Very cool upstairs space!
Had to start off with some Henny! Beer options were great, the environment was chill. Excellent service. Great bartenders! Food was delicious! Shout out to the owner and her pup!
Was visiting from Texas. Bartender was awesome (can't remember her name) and drinks were on point!

My first visit, and not disappointed! Cold beer, good food served fast, and friendly staff. Plus live music upstairs - how cool!
Such a cute bar, the downstairs is a totally different vibe from the upstairs. There is the CUTEST server with a puppy on duty
It's a cool place to chill and grab some to drink and a bite to eat.
