Currywurst
Maren B.

Great food, check, Easy parking, check. Good service, check. Cool building, check. Good music, eh, not so much. If you're into really average, borderline subpar rap, then you will love it here. Because you know, when I think of a brewery that specializes in German food, I think of rap music. But I digress. The food really was very good and we will come back for that. I love how you can get half orders of the larger entrees. We sampled the chicken schnitzel and opted to sub German potato salad for the fries that normally come with it and this was a great decision. Their potato salad slaps. The 1/2 order currywurst was great too! I liked it so much I kind of wished we would have gotten the full order. Let's get to the beer. I am such a fan of TF beers that I struggle to be impartial. I tried the cranberry orange sour and it was okay. My SO opted for their Mexican lager and it was great! I switched to this for our second round. The vibes. Don't get me wrong, it is a cool place but something about it is off. It's hard to put my finger on exactly what makes this place seem less fun than other breweries we frequent. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just missing that extra something that makes me want to hang out longer.

FAST Food: we split a Chicken Avocado sandwich, which was really good, but the straw fries were amazing! Atmosphere: large brewery, lots of seating. Great Indy Punk music in the background, TV's with football games all around. Service: our server Rachel was very nice. Tip: several Trivia & Dart nights!

Needed a place to kill time before heading back to the airport (bags and all) We were able to sit at the bar and had the most lovely afternoon thanks to the bartender Austin! Ordered an eggplant schnitzel sando w/ potato salad and the insane grilled cheese. Everything was delicious. Tried some beers, cocktails, and was able to play games for hours until boarding our flight.

Awesome place! Our waiter was incredibly friendly and had awesome recommendations. I ordered the Oklahoma burger and it was so good. The fries were decent imo. Ambience inside is the classic brewery vibe. Prices were very fair, there's a huge parking lot, and the beer selection is impressive. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

For those who like short reviews: The place was good, but somewhere that asks for $3 to add cheese on the burger rubs me the wrong way Burgers were good, fries were awesome, pretzels were okay. Cider seemed to be good as well. Beware of homeless in the area. For those who like something more in depth: I have mixed feelings about this place. The building itself was pretty nice, had a great vibe, I loved the lighting and the look of everything. It was a generally enjoyable place to be. They have a fair amount of dart boards for groups to play with. They have a lot of options food wise, I ended up getting their bewilder burger(double burger), which costed $3 to add cheese. If I had known that they'd try to get that out of me beforehand I probably would've just brought my own slice. It wasn't my favorite thing to see a double cheeseburger being rung up for $20 but i understand that bar food is usually a little more pricey. It was good, and the fries were awesome(I really do mean awesome, like I just had to keep eating them) but I would say that this isn't the place I'd go out of my way to get a burger. Secondly I got the pretzels, which ran me up for $11 for 3 of them. They were good, they had the kind of cheese with them that hardens up fast so you have to eat and dip the pretzels as fast as you can. But they were good Honestly this place is just....a bar. It's no shining star of Salt Lake but you can come here and get a few drinks with some good food. If your favorite local bar is full and you need somewhere else to go this wouldn't be a bad replacement. Rating 3.75/5

Pretzels - Half Order
Camille W.

What a great find! bewilder Brewing has been on my "to try" list for awhile and I'm glad I finally came. The beer and drinks were great, food was great, atmosphere was great, service was great! Will definitely be back! We ordered the a side order of pretzels, the good burger and the chicken and garlic brat. We liked everything - although the fries were way overdone.

Currywurst
Nina B.

I love a good currywurst. This was quite good, but if you want it to be traditional German style, you should warm the curry ketchup and put it over the sausage, not the fries. Otherwise, delicious!

Dart Boards

Wow what a hidden gem this place is!! I drive by it daily and didn't know it was here... they seriously need to make some new signs because this place was fantastic and people will keep driving by without a clue. Cool interior, nice patio, tons of parking..... real dart boards, TVs with the games on across the space. Food was great too! Had a few different beers , burgers and grilled cheese and fries this time... next time the German sampler for sure. We are coming back for trivia or bingo nights.

Zulu hazy ipa.   Yummy!!

The salad was great. Loved the Zulu beer! So nice to enjoy the fall sun outside. The gal helping us was super nice.

Split a flight. Plenty of choices.
Katie N.

Cute spot. Plenty of parking in their lot. Their burger was pretty good. I ordered without onions and decided to upcharge to pretzels for my side. It was a good choice! The inside is pretty large with lots of seating.

Great industrial themed brewery in Salt Lake!! Good beer and good people!! Accidentally ordered a large amount of pretzels, so move aware "shareables" menu lol

Brat time!!
Jason L.

Ok!! The beer was great!! Man, Utah has some great local beer and the scene is awesome!! Brats were fire!! and schnitzel was good, a little over cooked. Probably sitting there for sometime. The burger wasn't great, patty was frozen not fresh!! Ordered it protein style without bun!! They could have wrapped it in lettuce. Overall I'm giving this place a 3 , they need to work on the menu a bit more and focus on quality!! Beer was a 5 all around!!

Inside ambiance

Came here a few weeks ago while visiting SLC. A friend of ours recommended this brewery so we made it our very 1st stop, which unfortunately started our trip on a negative note. Coming from Vegas where it's always hot, we're used to bringing Hydroflasks full of water with us to breweries to keep hydrated. We had no idea this wasn't allowed in Utah. Upon entering Bewilder, one of the beertenders rudely told us we could not have our Hydroflask. When we asked why, she rolled her eyes and said, "You need to go put it in your car, then you can come back in". We informed her that we Ubered from our hotel so we could not leave it in our car. She rolled her eyes again, grabbed our Hydroflask and put it behind the bar on the complete opposite end from where we were sitting. We were so confused. A second beertender came to take our order. Also rude. We asked her why we couldn't have our water and in an irritated tone said, "You have to drink the water we provide" and when we asked why yet again she sighed heavily and said, "what beers do you want"? We wanted to just leave, but we already spent money to Uber here so we each got a flight since we were already there. Unfortunately the beer was about as good as the service. It wasn't so bad that we felt we couldn't drink it, but it also wasn't anything special. All 8 beers we tried were just kinda meh. Such a shame that the beer was meh and the service horrific, because they do have a cool space. The space isn't enough for us to return though. We'll never be back and we do not recommend to any friends traveling to SLC. So many other breweries in town that have superior service and fantastic beers. PS: Thanks to Kiitos Brewing for kindly explaining to us the outside beverage laws and why our Hydroflasks weren't allowed. Glad they informed us since Bewilder was too busy being rude to tell us.

A sour beer (can't recall the name)

After getting my last beer and finding a seat in the back, the shy bartender somehow found his courage to engage and serve other folks, so I naturally took it personally. The ambiance was nice in that it felt like an authentic brewery, not a restaurant that serves beer like some establishments closer to downtown. On a Tuesday, tacosdaddyfoodtruckslc was on the scene serving a brilliant smothered burrito, albeit a bit heavy on rice but still amazing. When I asked a bartender to compare and contrasts two beers, they did so lifelessly and unconvincingly without asking me first what I preferred. It reinforced my perception that the establishment is either low on customer service or selective in the welcoming of guests. I was the oldest person in the brewery at the time and I hope that had nothing to do with it. I was also concerned with their lack of descriptions on their brews, only presenting a name on a wall. A serious and reputable brewer will attempt to communicate their beer to aficionados and this lack of information made me question their commitment to the craft. These are all management issues and given that these deficiencies were outwardly obvious, it makes me wonder what other issues I would find with a little more time here. That said, I was here once and that's enough. Edit: I read the rest of the reviews and I am so happy to learn that their bad customer service, including ignoring customers, is legendary. I got suckered in by the high rating, while failing to read the one- and two-star reviews. I went to another brewery in the area yesterday and am off to have another there (cutting my time here short). I wish this place were better.

For those familiar with the PNW chain, Squatters feels like the Utah equivalent of McMenamins, in a…read morecertain way: certainly not in quirkiness, style or ambiance (of which they could not be further apart), but in their ubiquity - it seems like they're everywhere, even though there are only four(?) of them. We visited at least two, during our four days in SLC. This one was the first: a cathedral-style brewpub with a sports bar aesthetic, with decent food, decent drinks, decent service, and decent prices. Everything was decent. You're not likely to be disappointed by anything you order, but you're not likely to be blown away by anything, either (another thing Squatters has in common with McMenamins, I'd say). During our second visit (to another location, but I'm sure the same rule applies), our party was only interested in ordering drinks (one per person, mind you), but we were informed that we *had* to order some sort of food to accompany them (I'm sure this is more of a Utah thing, rather than a Squatter's thing, but still annoying), so bear that in mind if you're looking for a place to just chill with a beverage and watch a game. Still, the vibe here is lively and friendly; assuming your server is as well, which was a coin flip, in our experience. For a fast, casual chain of brewpubs, Squatters has a lot going for it, and I can see why they are popular, as clearly as I can see ways in which they can improve. A little more focus, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, and Squatters could absolutely dominate in SLC, and beyond.

Ordering was kind of confusing because you had to wait in line instead of just walking up to the bar. One of the bartenders quickly explained it to us so we got in line. The line moved very quickly. Once we ordered our first beers, we sat at the bar and our bartender then took the rest of our orders while seated there. It seemed like once you ordered and established your seats, you could get waited on at your table but you had to order through the line first. There were 3 or 4 bartenders covering the bar and all the various seating areas. Our bartender was very attentive and we never had empty glasses before she was asking if we wanted another round. There was one time where she got side tracked and there was a very slight delay in bringing the next round for my wife and she profusely apologized and comped that round, but we didn't even notice the delay, to be honest. All the beers were great and the handmade pretzel from a place down the street was delicious. The tasting notes on their menu were spot on for the 5 or 6 beers we tried. They have a lot of seating in the main area and large patio in the back that were both pretty crowded, which is why we sat at the bar. We later found out about their "barrel room" that is in the back behind all the brewing equipment. One of the bar backs said it was a more laidback and quiet area. We peaked back there before we left and had we known about it, we would have sat back there because it's exactly like how it was described. Even with the large crowd we had a great time and it never seemed crowded with the speed of service we got.

Got a couple schnitts thinking i could quickly chug a couple beers before my flight since it is half oven and half liquid. However, it was quite a hefty poor and very enjoyable. I got the kolsch and helles lager and both were easy and crushable. Very delicious and clean. Also got a taster of the Pilsner and that was as well easily crushable and clean. The german beers here are one of the best and phenomenal. I can't get enough. The IPA is here are solid as well. Great vibes has TV with sports and a lot of seating and outdoors as well. The only issue I have unfortunately at this visit was I was trying to grab a glass to take home with me. However, there was a huge line for people to get carded so the front desk guy wanted to card them in first. That was understandable as that created a huge line and backed up the front door. However, someone came behind me with cans so he let them pay first and by the time they finish paying, more people were coming in to get carded. He decided to card them instead of letting me purchase a glass . So at that time I had just left instead of waiting for the continuous cycle of getting carded I'm having to further wait. Hopefully when things are busy, they will have someone to help out carting people in. Otherwise fantastic brewery.

I had high hopes for locally brewed beer and Asian cuisine, but nothing really hit the mark. Beer was okay. Lukewarm, and decidedly not crispy nor refreshing. Our group was three and we tried a lot of the food on the menu and nothing really hit. The pickled cucumbers were good. The dumplings (which we were told by our server are handmade) were genuinely flavorless and the wrapper was way too thick and chewy. We tried the pork buns as well, same issue, a serious lack of flavor and seasoning. Pork belly entree was middling, just a flavor profile that didn't work. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was fried crispy but the sauce and toppings were unmemorable and lacked any kind of punch or umami to speak of. It came with a side of food service fries, which were crispy but served with plain old ketchup. Oh by the way everything is expensive. Starters were $15+ and most entrees, including noodle soups were $20+ which is crazy. Cocktails were $18 and no wine pour less than $16. The only thing cheap is the beer which makes sense because it was mediocre at best. Server brought the check, said "no rush" and then we waited while he sat three tables, brought drinks for three tables and took two food orders. After 15 minutes I took the bill to the till and had him run it in front of me. I still tipped because I'm not that person. Not going back, there's better beer and Asian food elsewhere.
