    Sports bar with vegan menu
    Jay C.

    The most delicious vegan food in Salt Lake City isn't at a health store, a vegan restaurant, or a food truck. It's at an Irish pub. Piper Down Public House, located in the Ballpark Neighborhood, has been serving traditional Irish dishes since 2003 and boasts a dedicated vegan menu with items like bangers and mash, corned beef sandwiches, and fish and chips. The brunch menu especially shines with offerings like the Big Veggie Gilbert--a toasted brioche sandwich with vegan bacon, JustEgg, cheese, tomato, and chipotle aioli--and Huevos Rancheros. As good as the brunch was, the friendly servers confided that their favorites are on the dinner menu. Next time I'm in SLC, I'll be sure to find out. Piper Down has a traditional, airy pub feel with plenty of natural light. It's the perfect spot to grab a pint with friends, catch a game on one of the many TVs, and enjoy the best vegan food in town.

    Beer Battered Fish & Chips

    We just went for dinner, and everything is different. Not in a good way. I got fish and chips, and nothing was the same. The fish was chewy, and the breading tasted frozen. Jen got chicken fried steak, and it tased like Cisco threw it up out of the back of their truck. Piper is no longer the wonderful food stop that it used to be. Steer clear.

    We went there to get the fish and chips special. Ive been looking forward to this all day . Only to be told that the kitchen was closed . At 5pm . This is no way to run a business. We left after being charged for our beers to go to another restaurant which was fantastic!! BTW clean your tables and at least say hello to your customers instead of making them.wait for crappy service !! If you want good food and good service go somewhere else besides here !!

    Food was good, service was good and drinks were good. Have to give a shoutout to the extensive plant based menu. Nice work!

    Gimlet! Yum!

    Haven't been here in well over a year, so it was a lunch well deserved with friends!! I got a Guinness to start with and Jameson on the rocks for dessert! I had the regular grilled cheese sandwich with BBQ sauce for dipping along with a side salad! Everything was delicious!! Other items at the table were fish and chips and fish tacos. Service was great!! I love coming in the afternoon when it's a little more relaxed! Definitely need to come more often!!

    Irish Coffee
    Justine D.

    We've been to this bar numerous times and it never disappoints! I recently had their chili verde burrito, Irish coffee, and biscuits & gravy! everything was absolutely delicious. The portions are huge, so you'll definitely leave full and happy. It's one of our go-to spots, and we'll definitely be coming back again, especially for St. Patrick's Day!

    Gilbert breakfast sandwich
    Caitlin N.

    Stopped by for Sunday brunch and chose a table in the back room for our group of 5. We had a nice waitress who was attentive and patient with our group. My husband and I opted to share the Gilbert breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito: - The Gilbert was suppose to come on a brioche bun but mine didn't quite look or taste like one (someone else in our party also ordered the Gilbert and their bun was different). I'd say the sandwich would be great if there wasn't as much sauce smothered in it. Also, the hash brown Pattie's weren't crispy. - My husband enjoyed the breakfast burrito but there wasn't anything too special about it. We did like that it was served in a spinach tortilla. Overall, we weren't amazed by the food but Piper Down is a nice spot to eat at if you're in the area.

    Chicken fried steak
    K S.

    Piper Down always slaps, the food is just great for the price and excellent for a pub. Service is always decent and friendly even if they are crazy busy, and it's a great environment to hang out or watch games (I really enjoyed watching the World Cup here!) Came by today for brunch, drinks were out fast, food came out pretty quickly. They always cook my eggs perfectly (over easy), toast with that extra butter, and the potatoes are always delicious. Chicken fried steak was over done, but smother it with gravy, and it's all good. Girlfriend got the Mess of Potatoes which she really enjoyed, a healthier version of a garbage hash if you will. We will be back very soon, especially for the FIFA World Cup!

    Went for brunch on Sunday. You have to find parking on the street, so prepare for that. The parking lot was only for the Vietnamese restaurant next door. If you like savory the corned beef hash is the way to go. I do enjoy hot sauce, so added it to complement the dish. The corned beef was tender and lean. Great option for an Irish dish in my opinion. However, this savory gal was thoroughly impressed by the French toast. My partner got the French toast and it was AMAZING. In fact, I would go back just to get the French toast because it was just the right amount of sweetness. That means something to this "savory gal" who's been craving their French toast. This pub is so fun! Would love to come by one night when they have a live band. The decor makes it feel like you're in the Ireland. Would definitely go back when we're in town! Oh the server recommended a great beer too and they offer $2 mimosas for brunch. Great place! They have rooftop seating, but we decided to stay indoors due to the heat.

    Their drinks are nice and strong (but they're also pretty expensive), their food is amazing (especially when I'm intoxicated), and their bar staff is so friendly. Honestly, I had a great time with my friends at this bar, but I'm really not a fan of live music when I drink. It just makes it so hard to have conversations. Honestly, this isn't a fault of the bar, my friends just picked a bad night for us to be there--I think it's great to support local artists and I think it's awesome that Piper Down invites them to perform for their guests, it's just not for me. I really had a great time though! (The 4-star rating, however, is unrelated to the live performance, it's partially because my drinks were so strong (I like them sweet and girly!) and partially because they were so expensive (but what bar isn't these days?).)

    Great spot for trivia! A good amount of food and drink options. Go early for Trivia or you'll be waiting for a space.

    Delicious Most Succulent Bloody Mary's

    Its true!!! The best Bloody Mary's are here. Great spot for a nice Sunday late lunch recovery date.

    Vegan Irish breakfast
    Morgan S.

    Vegan review! Absolutely love all the vegan brunch options they have. I got the vegan Irish breakfast and my husband got the Etico Burrito. Topped with mimosas of course which are only $2 each! The food was amazing - we went to Ireland 2 years ago and I was in search of somewhere to get a vegan Irish breakfast but found nothing, yet somehow discovered this place in SLC. Would definitely come back and try more menu items the next time I visit!

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.

    We had a big group of people so they split us up which was ok. We had 2 long tables with 2 waiters…read more I did feel the other table waiter was more personable than the one I had. I ordered a salad and it was huge and fresh. We also had lots of apps that were good. Some were good sharing sizes some def need to order a few. Others seem to like their food too, but this is your classic American fare and pub food hard to get wrong.

I knew from the parking lot this place was a winner. Once inside, it had a welcoming atmosphere and people inside were all having a good time. This brewery features Lager Beers crafted using traditional Bavarian/European methods...thus I had to try one...two...maybe more. Luckily there was a ton of delicious looking food on the menu from the expected pizzas and wings to the old world treats like beef stroganoff, goulash and schnitzal. Everything is made from scratch and I couldn't help looking at all the neighboring tables to get an idea of what to try. Our waitress Ashley was really helpful and checked if the pesto was made with nuts as we have peanut and tree nut allergies in our family. Luckily there were no pine nuts or other substitutes and we could safely have it! We ended up getting quite a feast of plates and then topped it off with two desserts- the bread pudding and the German chocolate cake (couldn't come to a family agreement so had to get both!). Thanks Bohemian Brewery for the excellent time!

We had the pork shank and the chicken schnitzel. The pork shank came with spatzle and red cabbage-excellent dish. The chicken schnitzel was pretty good. It had a fresh taste to it and even a little lemon-y, which didn't make the fried cutlet taste too rich. It came with mashed potatoes, gravy and veggies. The veggies were your basic steamed veggies, but the dish was overall good. Service was great-server was attentive and the manager came around as well to check on us. I think it would be fun to come here for Oktoberfest, since the inside has a good ambiance.

Bummer. And the steak was questions all around. First they didn't know what cut of steak it was. "It's Wagyu" they said, as if all that mattered was where it came from. And just to make sure I wasn't an idiot, I looked up to make sure that Wagyu, like other beef, had various cuts. And the meal was rather salty. And the steak was far closer to rare than medium. And it was served au poivre style, which I would have like to have known. Service was excellent. The Scottish Old-Fashioned excellent. The libation selection is unparalleled.
