I have been in here, probably a dozen times for beer and it is always an overall good experience. The service is hit or miss, depending on who it is and depending on the night of the week during trivia it is chaotic and a lot of fun to be there if you're in the mood for that. The back patio leave something to be desired. It is pretty barren. The selections are often vast, however sometimes there are not very many interesting beers. I wish there was more seating that was not a high stool. It doesn't feel like an intimate place and there's no food so it is kind of a strange spot. Better to get a quick beer than linger. read more

Love this place! Warm greeting! Ordered something with vodka and friendly bartender, Zade, hooked me up with a Lavender Sunset cocktail. Yum! Husband enjoyed his double rye old fashioned. Great vibe. Will come back again and again! read more

See all

A couple of buddies and I came to Craft on a random Monday night, and our experience was extremely pleasant. To be honest, we were one of two parties in the bar, but we saw that as a good thing. Service was, as you can imagine, immediate, and the atmosphere was great for hanging out and having conversation. The bartender (I unfortunately didn't get his name) was a fantastic conversationalist. They were playing Aliens on one of the TVs, and we spent a good chunk of time just talking about the film and other random topics. For this trip to Craft, I wanted to try a beer I hadn't yet had, and the bartender named a few, including the one I ended up choosing, the Luna Negra, a Craft by Proper beer. I have had a lot of other beers from them which have been great, so I won't knock them too much for this one trip, but the beer was not good. It had nothing to do with the bartender or the bar itself, but the beer was unfortunately one of my least-favorite beers I've ever had. Guess that's what you get for asking for something "unique". Anyway, all that being said, Craft by Proper is still one of mg favorite local beer bars, and I'll be coming back sooner rather than later. read more

Stopped by on Sunday afternoon after having brunch near by. They had just opened so the place was empty. The bartender was super nice. I ordered a Paloma and it was good! The perfect drink as it starts to warm up. They currently don't have a patio. They do have a door that opens up a few seats to face out to the street. So it was nice to still have some of the patio feel even though you're inside. read more

Nice spot to meet up with people, they have some larger tables as well as cute 2-people spots. The service is friendly and there's water easily accessible close to the bathrooms. I personally like the vibe of other places a bit more but it's not a bad spot! I believe there is parking around the back, my group and I weren't sure at first so we parked elsewhere and walked 2 blocks to get here. read more

Came here with friends after dinner for a couple of drinks and it was great. They have an open are where you can sit to face the streets and people watch. Especially looking at everyone who is going to the club next door. The bartender is super friendly. And very patient. He was the only one there who was checking ID and also getting people's drink. I was surprise how slow it was especially with it being a Saturday night. Very chill place to go to. Perfect to chat with friends and have fun! read more

Great atmosphere, with a wide variety of beers available for all kinds of tastes. Best of all was the service, the bartender Madison was great company, she was very knowledgeable about the drinks, super friendly, and fun to talk to. The prices are reasonable compared to other bars in the area. I have no complaints. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Came on a Saturday and this is the second time in the last year we have came here. Staff is incredibly rude both times we've been here. The place and beer is good but the 2 bartenders were strange to interact with both times. We will never come back, drop these 2 bartenders if you want to increase sales. They are the reason this place is never busy. read more

Craft by Proper is super good vibes. I love that it isn't packed and there are always places to sit. We always feel super comfortable when we go there. They have a huge selection of drinks on tap and have a good liquor menu also. This is a great place if you're wanting something super laid back, casual, more quiet and relaxed. A perfect place for conversation. The staff is super nice. read more

Amazing beer selection. Great staff. Fantastic location. In from out of town and looking for local beers? This is the place read more

Anywhere that offer half pours of beer has my loyalty. I can never finish a full beer but I love trying new kinds. I can't wait to go back and try one of the beer cocktails - I've never had one before and I am so intrigued! The arcade in the basement is a nice bonus, although you do have to pay for the games. The only note I have is the stools are insanely uncomfortable. I believe all businesses should offer a mix of high and low tops for people with limited mobility (granny or someone in a leg cast would never be able to get up on one of those stools).... or maybe just for grumpy people like me who hate high tops lol! But seriously, I cannot see myself hanging out here for hours and chatting with friends because of how uncomfortable the stools are. That being said, I'm still giving five stars because of the vibe, prices, drink selection, and arcade. I can't wait to go back! Maybe I'll just stand.... read more

We visit this place frequently and always have awesome service from bartender Zade. Great place to hang out, drink and play some games.

This seemed like a cool bar, although when I came here it was pretty empty. The beer selection was interesting and the interior space was nice. The staff were moderately friendly but not the most welcoming. I'll probably check this place out again the next time I'm in Salt Lake City. read more

Only reason to go to this bar is because it's open late. Staff are trash, beer selection is underwhelming and people are not friendly. Find another spot to enjoy a beer and conversation. Happy hunting. read more

The atmosphere is casual and relaxing. Pool table, skee ball and other games on the premises. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and respectful. I recommend the Craft Hot Chocolate to warm the winter blues away. ​ read more

I'm visiting from California and I genuinely believe this is one of the best bars I've ever been too in my 25 years of living. James and Austin were the coolest workers/bartenders I've ever met and gave the best service. It was like getting served bu my bestfriends and also the bar gave such good vibes of SLC. 10/10 recommend and would definitely recommend going down and playing all the games downstairs because it reminds you of childhood read more

This place might be my new favorite place in Sugarhouse! It is a bar, but on the menu they do have $20 bag of chips, LOL! I think they have to because you know, Salt Lake. But they do encourage you to instead grab some food from around the area and bring it in! That is a nice touch. Now their beer list is quite extensive. Almost overwhelming! The first time I came, I had the Sour Rangers (Pink Sour Power Rangers beer). It was AMAZING! Super sour, slightly sweet, total blast to my childhood of Power Ranger memories. But they no longer have it because the menu is rotating. Be on the lookout though because that beer was AWESOME! If you're not sure, chat with the bartenders. They are super friendly and always have great suggestions. Now the best part...the downstairs is an arcade! They have Skee-ball, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, some other button mashing games...but the best. 4-player Pac-Man! So awesome, especially with 4 people. It even has drink holders so you can focus on eating ghosts and your friends. read more

Love this place! $10 pitchers on sundays! Such a great deal and great beer. The basement setup is a perfect place to watch a game. Couches and a projector right next to video games. read more

James was our bartender and he was not only friendly, but very knowledgeable on their draft menu and canned beer selection. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Salt Lake! read more

This is my favorite bar. The bartenders are always friendly, it can be quiet if you go early, and I love to sit at the bar that overlooks the road and do homework. I love that it's got the big open window in the front. Bingo night is also really fun. Always good weird new beers on tap! read more

Great location, great beer, great company but how I was yelled at by the bartender for not immediately coming to the bar to give my ID. Then walking away from me when I asked her how the ordering process works because obviously I've never been in a bar from the way I was treated. I guess Craft doesn't need my business and I sure as hell don't need no attitude. read more

Great place! They not only serve their own brand of beer but other beers and cocktails. The arcade in the basement is so fun! It's never too crowded so you feel like you can get to know the bar tenders and environment! read more

This is my favorite spot to get a drink before eating dinner in Sugarhouse. Great selection and you know you'll never have to wait long

These guys are full blown rooks - every time I come here I get screwed over - my want to love this place but they have horrible shorty service . Fuck this place they are horrible - one star just to be nice to my local beer read more

A neat bar that servers a comprehensive variety of local craft beers. The bar tenders were very attentive and knowledgeable and the spot is very nice and has good seating. Overall, I think I'll favor this bar over most other nearby options. read more

Beer is amazing, nothing you can find on the shelf. Staff is so friendly and willing to go out of their way to make you happy. Beer on tap price is A1 my dog. 10/10 would highly recommend. Best beer bar in slc by far !!! We love Craft by proper. read more

Upstairs great, downstairs even better. In my top 5 for favorite bars in Utah. You get a little bit of both. The crowd on the main level and more low key downstairs. Plus you can bring in outside food! Very cool. Would definitely recommend. Did I mention arcade games? read more

This place is by far one of the top "bars" in Sugarhouse. They don't have a kitchen, so get something from Wasatch or Fiddlers elbow, before you come. It's an awesome place for a group or just a date. It has one main bar upstairs and then a "game room"...down stairs. No pool or darts, but I don't see that as a negative. They have pack man and pinball machines...great addition to Sugarhouse. read more

Great new bar with great selection of delicious brews. However staff is totally uninterested. Had to practically beg them to pour a beer.

I've been coming here all summer. My friends and I dig the vibe. All kinds of yummy beers and its obvious that they can make a cocktail. 5 stars , no question read more

Best overall beer selection in town and they're ALL from UT. Pretty much the best stouts from all of the local brew pubs A few TV's for games. Food available for delivery by Hopkins across the street is a bonus. Easy-going, friendly staff. Great location in Sugarhouse. read more
