were visiting Salt Lake City as we frequently do. Had a couple of hours before a dinner reservation. The weather was unseasonably warm for October and decided that we would go to Squatters to enjoy the patio and beer. After parking in the lot adjacent to the building and paying the $6.00 parking fee we found the establishment closed. A small typed sign stated that they were closed for a private event. Their website, Google and Tripadvisor showed that they were opened. I would expect this for a small mom and pop restaurant to close for a vacation or death in the family or a business that struggles for business and would happily inconvenience their guests just to pay the bills with a private party. I gave it 1 star because we weren't even able to get in the front door, for inconvenience, and major disappointment!
