Patrick's Pub was such a great find during my time in Salt Lake City. I was in town on a business trip, and this ended up being the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome. Everyone--from the greeter to the bartenders--was friendly, relaxed, and genuinely attentive. It's one of those pubs where you instantly feel like a local, even if it's your first visit. The space itself is cozy and comfortable, exactly what you want from a neighborhood pub. One of the highlights for me was the sports setup. On several nights I was there, they had hockey games on three TVs above the bar, which is surprisingly rare--and very much appreciated since I'm a big hockey fan. Other nights they had football and baseball on, so there was always something good to watch. Coming from LA, the drink prices felt amazing. After spending a little more time in the area, I realized they're actually better priced than many places nearby--so it's a win all around. Another bonus: they have real pinball machines, which is another personal favorite and a nice nostalgic touch. All in all, Patrick's Pub checks every box--great people, good vibes, solid drinks, sports, and pinball. It's a winner in my book, and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

I'm visiting from out of state .. entered the bar Had our ID's checked. Ordered and was enjoying an IPA with a friend on the patio I asked the bartender if I could smoke outside he said I need to go on other side of the railing. .. no problem. Well I'm little enough to slide through the railing to the sidewalk, so I did. Upon sliding back a loud man on a skateboard started yelling at me to leave the bar and I was out of there. I was so shocked I asked him if he worked here and he said he was coming to work and I had to leave now!! I had jumped the rail and I HAD TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW !! He was so rude and loud and spitting venom at me. We got up to leave and I heard him tell the bartender that served us that I had to go. "our" bartender told him I was a customer already. I told the guy he was really rude and he said I was rude and I should be an adult and use the door. I said he was rude and that I was a guest here and he told me I was not a guest and that I had to go and bye bye !!! I have never been talked to or treated that way in my entire life !! I left there crying. He was super aggressive with me and it was so uncalled for. This person should never be in the customer service industry. He's awful !! read more

Patrick's Pub - Stay away from this bar!!! - Pubs Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Bartender was extremely cranky. We had a group of people, and he skipped past us over and over again. When we went to close out (keep in mind we were nice enough to do one tab for 6 people) he told me to "get out of his money making space" as I was signing the check. I will NEVER be back here again and I used to be a regular. You have lost a customer FOREVER read more

Our bartender "bunny" was amazing! Great service. She was very informative regarding the extensive craft beer menu. She offered my wife a phone charger when needed. 10/10 great place to have a few drinks with likeable people. Will return read more

Place use to be the shit until this oddly built shorter man serving the bar absolutely ruined the vibes at this place. As soon as you walk in he will likely scream at you to wait at the door to scan your ID (as if it wasn't a law that went in a month ago). That same bartender looks like he was assembled out of leftover Lego pieces with no instructions. Buddy is built like a fire hydrant that learned how to pour drinks and yet still has an attitude. The kind of guy who memorized drink specs just so he could correct people and feel powerful for 12 seconds. Built like he personally tests every IPA for "quality control" and still somehow acts judgmental about your order. Alright no more fat jokes. But you can just see how badly buddy needs it. The beer belly pressed against the counter like a throne (oops) arms crossed, chin up, just waiting for someone to step out of line so he can flex his sacred power. Power-trips like a dollar-store Donald Trump: loud, fragile ego, convinced authority equals respect. Pressed to the bar like it's a podium, talking down to everyone as if cutting someone off is an executive order. Give him a bar top and suddenly he's a god damn tyrant. Lake effect next door absolutely fucks tho read more

I was having a great time until I witnessed the owner/ bartender behaving like an actual child. Here's some advice, get better social skills and your customers will be more than just your regulars. Grow up. read more

Absolutely a great place to stop! wonderful upscale dive bar. Please be sure to tip your bartenders- they are amazing. And definitely a must stop! read more

Service is punctual. Classic dive bar. Love wood paneled bar. Good value. Bar tenders play eclectic mix of music.

Loved this place! The atmosphere was so much fun I forget the bartenders name but she was amazing

Had a great time stopping in for a quick couple of beers. Topher, the bartender was awesome. Knowledgeable, conversational, and totally down to earth. I'm from out of town and had not had a great experience with Utah breweries and bars. He changed that. Had two bad ass double IPA's (I generally am not a fan) and he called them perfectly. Great time. Reasonable as well. read more

Bartender curt and condescending. On a slow night doesn't seem to be able to take more than one drink order at a time. Dark and dingey atmosphere topped off with patron thowing up right outside it's front door. Feels like a place where fun goes to die. read more

Good, classic dive bar. No theme, no frills. Solid beer selection. A good place to watch sports.

Great time would definitely come back here when in town. Came before a hockey game. Small but really nice

The door guy was super rude and obnoxious for no reason. Pretty sure he was drunk himself. The bartender seemed overwhelmed and understaffed. Typically love a dive bar but wouldn't go back here. read more

I don't like yelp, but decided to use it to leave an amazing review for this beautiful bar, and its a1 staff. Every time I've come here they are so bright, cheerful, genuine and all around pleasant to be around. It's right across the street from the convention center, easy to get a liquid lunch, after work cocktails/beers Easy going and fairly casual atmosphere (I'm wearing shorts, flip flops & tank top currently. 10/10 would recommend WEAR YOUR MASK read more

Patrick's Pub - Bloody Mary on the patio - Pubs Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Service was great but to have an Irish Pub with no Guinness on draft? For shame. But the staff was very helpful in telling us the ins and outs of the SLC bar scene and gave us some great recommendations. Oh and the beer prices are way low... ;) read more

Bryce... I had an email here for you to contact me through, and talk about this... You didn't seem to want to talk... That's cool too. So, I guess I am just going to put my original review back up, keep what I like of this new review, and just enjoy my ban... Cheers! Here is my first review of this establishment: (And I have since found out that the ONLY bartender that this particular review applies to, and was initially intended to be directed to, is only to the owner, specifically, Bryce Adams.) "Sad to say that one of the bartenders here needs a different job than the one that he has. VERY impolite to the patrons that enter the establishment, and that is bad for business, or repeat business. Don't be surprised when you come here, if you get an attitude from (Bryce) the bartender. Dude needs an attitude adjustment, (May I also add: psychological counseling? Meds?) or go flip burgers somewhere. Any job that does not involve working with customers. God bless." Money doesn't just come out of thin air, Sir. Money that makes up your paycheck, and the paychecks of your employees, is brought in through the door, on foot, from the customers that enter your establishment. You have an obligation, especially as a business OWNER, to treat these people that walk through your door and into your place of business with respect and a modicum of patience. Especially if you want your business to thrive and survive. In fact, you should be setting the example, as the owner, to your crew of employees, which happen to all seem to be the ones setting the example for you as a whole. Your whole crew of employees, so far as I have seen, are worth their weight in GOLD, so far, every single one of them... Very polite and respectful, easy to talk to and approach, and they seem to all enjoy working there, and dealing with customers effectively, efficiently and politely. Clearly worthy of an honest 5 star rating all by themselves, each one of them that I have seen so far. When I last had my in-person chat with you, and you told me to leave, I went over to my normal hang out place, where I have been going for years, and never ever had a problem. I asked one bartender there if they knew you, which he said yes, and also agreed that you have a very hard time communicating politely with people. Now... Is that HIS problem? Or is that MY problem? Or is it your problem that you have a hard time communicating politely with people? To quote your own words: "Being rude to customers is never a good way to conduct business." - Andrew P. (aka Bryce Adams, see screen shotS below) Maybe the customers deserve it!!! But it is the BETTER man, that has a SUCCESSFUL business that can still keep a cool head and still be polite when everything inside you just wants to tell them off. It all boils down to money coming IN the door, or money NOT coming in the door, and spent elsewhere. Here is MY account of what started this storm between us: I had visited your business the day before, and you ID'd me personally, just fine. The whole time there that day went very smoothly. I don't remember why my ID was not in my wallet THAT day so I could give it to you to ID me again. I was genuinely shocked that my ID was not in my wallet, and was trying to mentally take some time and retrace what happened, so I could find it again. (Nobody is perfect, sorry.) For some reason you thought I was "staring you down", which I had no ill intentions to do so. I hoped that you would recognize me from the day before, and give me a chance to find my ID for later. I thought I was able to ask you if you recognized me from yesterday, (maybe not?) but then the whole situation went sideways for you I guess... A better option than what you said, would have been to tell me: "Sir, I see hundreds of people a day. I can't remember all of them, so I can't let you stay here without showing me your ID", and the whole matter would have never been an issue. You could have handled the issue better is all I am saying, which also points to the other bad reviews, which say basically the same thing, and which I am sure that you own all by yourself. I just don't see ANY of your other crew being rude to ANYone that walks through the door. Any business reviews by customers, are to let other potential customers know about a good business, or a bad business, without any bias from the owners or employees of that business. If you keep the same attitude, Bryce, and keep treating people like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, you are going to keep getting bad reviews! You make your own fate. Nobody makes your own fate, but you. And a little ending point of advice, if I may? A lot of my friends go to your bar. We go as a group all over the city. Our industry wears black clothes (just as a visual tip). In the future, you in particular might want to be extra polite to anyone in all black, especially if you want to keep our business. We talk about our experiences, good and bad. And word travels fast!! read more

Finished hiking today and came into the city just to get some food. Bartender told us we can't walk in with our water bottles and that he has to hold them. We understood but my brother wanted to sit in and have a beer since I don't drink I mentioned I wasn't drinking and the bartender mentions "you need your ID welcome to Utah "do your research before walking in". Again I understand policy and I have a business of my own but I guess they don't encounter to many Hispanics people at this place. That's no way to treat customers especially out of towners who are here on a work trip. By the way it was 3PM on a Monday. read more

This was a Bar next to our hotel so we dropped in. Was completely dead on a Sunday around 3pm I'm guessing because of the cold and snowy weather. They had awesome specials ($4) Jameson and the bartender was super nice and helpful on what to see/not see while we were in town. read more

I came here with two of my guy friends. The bartender was short with answers. He wasnt sociable, and made us feel stupid. Price wasnt bad just shit service. Bummer, the bar looked like we could have had fun. Didnt catch the name but caught the photo. read more

Great place to stop for an after work drink. Service is always quick and friendly, and the prices are good.

My crew and I went there at 10:00pm. Bartender was not graceful!!! Trying to order a drink was like trying to ask a person how stupid you are!! I have been in a lot of bars with much better customer service. This was the worst!! It was like talking to a brick wall. Yelps says they are suppose to stay open till 2am. But nope.. the sooner the bartender can kick you out the better so he can go home. Last call was for us was 11:59am. I don't know if it was his personality or prejudice but two beautiful black women and a gay man, please Show more respect. This is the 21st century! I will never go back to this place!!! read more

Went in with a few friends for a beer. We grabbed a table and I went to the bathroom. After chatting for a few minutes we decided it was not the place to spend the night (the music was quiet and sad, the place reeked of smoke). We headed out back to the bar we were previously at. As we walked out the bartender shouted "This is not a public restroom. Buy a f***ing drink." It is incredibly inappropriate to shout expletives in this manner. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

If your looking for a bar that cares about your feelings this isn't the place. On a busy night it takes time to be served, however if you don't mind not being the center of the universe for a minute you'll get exactly what you need. The staff can be a bit harsh if you think your above everyone else. Other than that it's a great place to get a few drinks before starting your night or a few drinks to end the night. The biggest issue I've seen is people feeling entitled and getting butthurt realizing their not that special. I love this place and will continue to support the business. read more

Walked in there on a Saturday night for a beer, the place smelled AWFUL and was incredibly dirty, I kind of wonder when was the last time anything in that bar was cleaned. The funny thing is that every bar in like a 2 mile radius was absolutely packed that night and Patricks had maybe 6 people in it. It's just a very very depressing place, go to pretty much any other bar downtown and you'll have a much better time. read more

I've been here a couple of times and I can't say I've had a good time yet. Bartenders are very hostile and belittling. The gentleman who took care of us had a nametag on that read "fookin tuf" and I think he should change it to "fookin rude". If you're not a local who has been there dozens of times and has a personal relationship with the bartender, don't even bother. Dick and dixies is much friendlier and is where you should head instead. read more

Irish bar that doesn't have Irish beer on tap??!!!?? WTF!!!! Nothing is higher than 4pt beer...lame!! I'm struggling for the positives...ok no smoking which is nice, cool bar tender and...and...and it's available? That's about all I can come up with. There's just nothing that sets it apart from anything else...especially when they don't have any Irish beer on tap. I guess this place works for those of a faith that aren't used to drinking? read more

Loved Patrick's. Don't know why the bar gets so much hate on Yelp. Bryce is great! Drinks are a great price! Good conversation, good music, good game on the TV read more

This place is horrible... I came here with two of my guy friends and.... I don't remember what I was saying because I only have air between my ears. No, so we walked into this establishment off of the street and had no idea what we were getting into. This place is awesome. The most "Irish, non Irish pub" you can be in. Good people, regulars are welcoming and have great stories. You can't beat the price...well, for Utah. If you get the bartender with the glorious red beard... stick around, you are sure to have some fun!!! read more

Cool little bar. Has a restraint next door for food. The bar it's self is slender and has a couple tables in the back. I tho k I saw a pinball game back there too but I don't think it was on. Two restrooms both unisex. Very clean. The bartender's name was Bryce. Entertaining us. As my friend and myself were the only ones at the bar for the most part. The drinks are reasonably priced for Utah. Since you can't have full strength cocktails in Utah. They have a wine selection. Me being the type who likes sweet wine was a little disappointed they didn't have any mascatos but oh well. read more

Friendly little bar across the street from the Salt Palace. Unpretentious and well stocked, with a bartender who will provide a sample of some of the stranger sounding draft offerings before you commit to say... cucumber IPA. FYI: it's not an Irish bar, it's named for the building in which it resides, just in case you're on an Irish pub hunt in SLC. read more

Not a great experience what so ever. Went into the bar to wait for a friend who had gone inside to go to the bathroom. She bought a beer in the process. Told the bartender we were just waiting, he asked for our Id's, understandable. Not a problem. I know how strict Utah is. Gave him our Id's and in the process another bartender said "just kick them out". Not impressed. A simple "sorry, you'll have to wait outside" would have been completely fine. Not that hard to be nice to customers who are also friendly. I now understand why there were only 2 people in Patrick's and a long line for the Lake Effect right next door. This was right after a sold out Rico Nasty concert at the soundwell a couple buildings down. That says plenty to me. The bar seemed nice, not the douchebags who were working. read more

Loved it here! Had a great time, the people were so welcoming, the bartender was very attentive. I almost didn't go because of the yelp reviews but I'm sure those were a bunch of "Karen's" anyways, great prices, would come again read more

First rating ever below 4 stars. Been there 3 times, always treated poorly. Sure you are understaffed but no reason to be rude to everyone. Never going back. Apparently you get kicked out for recycling? read more

If you live in SLC or visit the city, visit Patrick's.I visited when I was in SLC for a conference. In my native L.A., CA, I visit many bars, but the only bars I frequent are good bars. Patrick's Pub has everything I look for, mostly a solid staff. After that first night, I returned every night thereafter, same great spot, same outstanding staff. Top five bars I've ever visited. Patrick's, thanks for accepting me, the gay Dodgers fan. This spot will always be special to me. read more

I'm dying laughing at these reviews. We re from Pennsylvania and happened to come across this place. We are having the best time with Bryce and PK. Drinks are awesome. We ve been to 5 different bars and this is our favorite. Highly recommend!!!! read more

There was chewed gum in the bottom of my best friends drink. Notified the bartender and all he said was "really? That's weird." And didn't offer a refund or anything in replace. So disgusting, 0 stars if I could. read more

I like this place. If you're looking for an old fashioned bar to catch some drinks and actually hear what your friends are saying, this is a great spot. The staff is really friendly and prompt with your order. The selection of booze is pretty decent. The beer is cold and I like that the location has a pretty open layout so even if it's busy you're not asses-to-elbows. I'll definitely be back read more

I would give zero stars if I could. If you want an Irish bar, MURPHY's is right around the corner, and PIPER DOWN is worth the extra distance!!!! I have never been treated so poorly as a patron of an establishment in my life, even abroad. The bartender swore at us several times and told us to "get the f*** out" repeatedly, I am not sure why. We tipped generously (even though not tipping well is no excuse for the way we were treated) and we had several drinks. I have certainly had subpar service in the past, but I have NEVER had someone in the service industry curse at me and my group. No wonder there were only 10 people in this bar on a Saturday night with several events going on downtown. I worked as a waiter for over 15 years and I have never seen such bad behavior, especially from someone who I believe to be the owner of that bar. GO TO MURPHY'S OR PIPER DOWN! read more
