Squatters Pub Brewery Reviews

Just west of Main St, Squatters houses its restaurant and brewery under one rooftop, with plenty of in-house seating at tables or bar. Naturally serving their fine local brews, Squatters also has a selection of traditional pub fare ranging from tacos to macaroni and cheese to fish n' chips.
You'll find there is often availability at lunch for a nice relaxed bite in an unassuming and comfortable setting, with plenty of options on tap to relax with before heading back into the office.
Like a light, wheaty pairing with your pub goods? Ask for an American Wheat, one of the better hefs from local breweries in my humble opinion.

Great local bar for good pub food, great burgers and tacos. Love the Buffalo burger as well. Staff is friendly.

This is a phenomenal place to eat great environment, awesome customer service some of the best food I've had in a pub, excellent prices, great location. Definitely go there again multiple times while I'm around in the area so if you're ever in the area I HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone I know family and friends if you're single, you got a family, going ON A date IT'S a excellent place to take them. Highly recommended. I'd give 10 Stars Plus.

Go for the beer, stay for the Brussel Sprouts...they are off the chain delicious!! Had the Polygamy Nitro Porter and it was delightfully smooth. Will be back!

Excellent Gastro Pub. Fun atmosphere with quick friendly service. Our table shared the Buffalo Wings as an appetizer and they were delicious. I had a the Greek Salad topped with toasted tofu and my wife enjoyed the Chicken Mesquite salad. My daughter reported her Fish and Chips were tasty and delivered piping hot. If you re in the area I could recommend this spot for a nice meal or drinks.

I love everything about squatters. The food, the beer, not to mention their breakfast is phenomenal. I don't care how long the wait is, it's worth it.

Wasatch and Squatters lobbied to keep taps restricted to 3.2% in Utah. That's bad and they should feel bad. I don't support them every chance I get and you shouldn't either. They don't care about you, they only care about protecting their water-beer monopoly.

This place was great!! The service was fast and the food was amazing. Of course the beer was fantastic as well. If I had any criticism it would be their gift shop area. The selection of shirts was pretty sparse and were all out of XL. Not a big deal and doesn't mean anything if you're there just to eat and/or drink.

We started out trying for Gracie's but you can't bring children. A kind patron told us about Squatters Pub. Good for the kids and great for the parents. Plenty of great beer and food choices.

Very good food and beer at a reasonable price. Ambient is upbeat and very comfortable, would definitely recommend going for a couple of beers at happy hour!

Some of the best beer and food in Utah. If you're visiting, come here. Outer Darkness is the best with a buffalo burger. This is a little slice of "not Utah" tucked away in downtown SLC.

Very good brewery that produces a dozen different beers (IPA, stout, nitro ...) the dishes are also very good and hearty and the terrace particularly pleasant at noon with its foggers

Good food, great beer, amazing staff! Will definitely be going back.

Wow.... Just wow!!!
Loved this place!

We were in town visiting family and stopped here for dinner on a Monday night. Remarkably busy. The three of us were seated quickly and ordered wine and beer from their great selection. This is almost immaterial until I get to the BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH I have ever eaten. It was Southwest Chicken sandwich - nothing fancy in the name - but oh, so delicious. Starting from the inside, the chicken itself was tender and moist, as expected. Then a healthy amount of cheese, enough to taste it in every bite. (This is important to Wisconsinites.) Was there avocado? I think so but I don't remember. But then peppers! They had just enough bite to know they were there. Surround it with an anything-but-plain soft ciabatta bun and it was heaven. Pair it with garlic fries and this customer left delighted. I couldn't be bothered to put down the sandwich until the first half was gone before snapping the picture.

AJ the waiter was one of the best waiters I have ever seen. The atmosphere was relaxing and fun.

Best jambalaya I ve ever had! Salty, not fishy and the perfect amount of spice (I m a wimp when it comes to heat and this was quite pleasant).

Expensive and loud. Staff is always too busy. Crowded

Awesome vibe and service. Their brunch is incredible.

Always great beer selection and helpful staff. Food can be a bit hit or miss. While it has never been bad, it's not always great.

Good for beer and beverages not so good for food. There is some room for improvement when it comes to food but the drinks and beer selection is what I come here for. Pretty laid back and a good place to kick back a few.

We got the Appetizer Sampler and the Reuben to share. The sampler was great tasting at a great price. The Reuben was delicious and had a load of fries. The apricot hefewiesen was wonderful! Would recommend this place.

Appalling service. Most beers unavailable and really quite average. Food was ok though.
But the inattentive staff and mediocre beer will ensure that I don't return.

Beer was great, Fish tacos were great, service was great!

It's always a treat going here!! I almost always get the steak nachos and their Oatmeal Stout!

For the price, the place is ok; for a pub, dishes are a little on the expensive side. Go for the drinks.

Squatters is a pub brewery: certainly the place to go in Salt Lake when you are in for beers.

You can get food and drinks at 11:40 pm on a Monday. Quick and efficient servive.

The highlight of this dine-in was our server Johnathan. Service is half the experience and he was attentive and friendly. The food is consistent with flavor and accuracy. The beer menu is smaller for a brewery but has many great options. Always enjoy coming here by myself or with friends and family.

A Hole servers... we take 20 minutes for a beer because we are busy . Sorry, not buying it. Skip this place and get better service at McDonalds.

Update #2: they were angry that I complained they didn't serve drinks to the table after 20 minutes!!!! Then wouldn't serve me a drink even though they took my order with every other person of our 20 person party, so fine. Good bye with zero tip. Worst experience in SLC yet.

Being from Belgium and spent a 9 nights' hols just now in SLC.
I loved Squatters so much that I
enjoyed going there practically every night.

Very nice buzzy atmosphere, very good bar service, outstanding friendliness and the music they played was completely up my alley : Rock.
With Belgium being "beer country #1" surely I was curious to find out about their "Hell's Keep" : so tasteful, easy-drinking and this could definately be a genuine Belgian beer! So well done, Squatters! Today I tried out the "Ghostrider" which is also a very yummy one
As for food :
Tried the "Taco's with battered fish" which was very tasty but as the portion was too big for me, I was unable to finish it.
Had the "Salade Nicoise" twice last week and highly recommend this one! I thouroughly enjoyed it. In Europe they serve the tuna in this salad differently than at Squatters. Well, personally I prefer the way Squatters prepare it
Also their "Sirloin steak with sauteed veggies" was delicious : steak perfectly cooked to my wishes... yummy!
Been here every night during my stay and will definately miss Squatters once back home.
A big thank you to all of the Squatters' staff for making my stay a memorable one
I highly recommend Squatters and is a definite "must" when visiting SLC!

Absolutely loved the service and the guilt free brownie. The cod fish and chips are great and would definitely like to visit them again.

Great beer brewed right here in River City. Some of the best low-alcohol brews available worldwide.
Good bar style food. Friendly servers, loud but happy.
Covered patio seating in the summer.
Prices reasonable.

Good food and awesome atmosphere. Fun to sit back with some friends and have a good time.

Great service. Great food. Great beer. This is a great place to spend an evening.

Great Buffalo burgers and sweet fried potatoes. Lively environment! Relaxing and happy!

We had a wonderful time, wonderful service, and a large group. Our food was fast, very fresh, and delicious. We all had a great time all night.

I was deliberately poisoned by the waitstaff at this restaurant for returning overcooked food. Petty and pathetic waitstaff here. Eat at your own risk.

entered near eleven, it wasn't packed. looking forward to returning with my relatives. the place has a cool atmosphere.

Worst server ever...very condescending. Never been there before and the waitress expected me to know all about the place. She was not friendly. I ended up just leaving.

Normally the only reason to go to a microbrewery is for unique local beer. Squatters definitely has good locally brewed beer, but they also have a very good menu. I have gone on company outings and with friends, I have always had good food and a good time

Veggie burger is on point! Ate at the bar cause it was pretty busy but the staff was super attentive!

I've had their beer back home and had no idea they had such a great brewery here in SLC. The servers were really nice and pointed out good beer and food to have. Cool setting and vibe there.

Great atmosphere, good food and good beer. What more could you want?

My Husband and I enjoy Park City's Squatters every time we pass by, and we decided to see if SLC was as good - we weren't disappointed!
Although cheerful, our service was a quite slow- but the restaurant was packed. I had the Street Tacos, and my husband had the Fillet. We were with another couple that had the Jumboliah, and the Fish & Chips. (Our food was MUCH better than theirs!)
The perfectly spicy Street Tacos were just like the tasty morsels in Park City that kept us going back - my entire party vowed to order them next time.

Great food, good service and friendly environment. Our 6 year old grand daughter said she wants to have her birthday there.

Great food, beer and atmosphere. Only bummer is parking.

We chose Squatters to host our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier! We rented out the top two floors, and it was a beautiful venue that provided everything on site. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, and were willing to help out with a few extra steps our wedding required. Not to mention the food and drinks were better than we expected. We'd absolutely use them for a big event again, and we look forward to returning in the future!

Service was great after Keely served me!! Waited at the bar for almost 20 min watching the Sox and Yankees play. Food service was quick and ok. Would have given more stars buy my wait was not justified with all the staff working. Also asked for a table for one and was told the bar was open or it would be a 10-15 min wait with open tables.....

Squatters is a classic brew pub with an amazing atmosphere. You can tell that all of the food is made right there. We got a humus plate that had homemade bread and hummus complete with delicious sun dried tomatoes and feta. The burgers was done just as I requested it, medium-rare, and the fries (garlic) were delicious. Squatters recently bought Wasatch Brewery which means that the beer list is very extensive. They allow you to purchase tasters for $0.50 a piece which is great when trying to decide which beer to get. I'm a guy that likes a hoppier beer so the IPA was perfect for me.

Their vegan breakfast was awesome! Their service was awesome too!

Great beer, epic food. The garlic fries might kill a date night, but worth it. they are powerful and yummy.

Good food. Really cool building. Honey Alex was definitely my favorite beer on my Utah trip.

I went here on a Wednesday night and WOW! It was absolutely packed. I waited 25 minutes to be seated. With a wait like this, I am expecting some food and beer to KNOCK MY SOCKS OFF. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. I sat in the corner next to the bar, the booth wasn't comfortable at all. The server was pleasant, however; you could tell she had too many tables to handle, so the service was compromised. I ordered a heff and I must say, I was disappointed in the taste. I thought a brewery would produce a better taste than that.

The good - I took the waitress' recommendation and ordered a turkey burger, and I must say, that was the best turkey burger I have had at a restaurant.

Would I go back, yes. Would it be my first choice, no. If I did choose to go back, it would be strictly because of the taste of that turkey burger. That's why I gave Squatters three stars instead of two!

Service was meh waitress was 100 yrs old and had to constantly sit down. Had to enlist the help of another server. Beer was AWESOME as usual. Food was pretty good considering it was cooked in an airport.

Great food decent beer menu I expected a bigger beer menu

Awesome variety of really good food. Haven't had anything that I don't like here. Great atmosphere and service, as well.

Went on my first date wjth my wife there! They're supporter of the LGBT community and they are Very nice and clean and friendly! Also have Epic food!

First impression was a big, very generic, trendy-price brewpub. Everything in it looks like it was designed to cater to a target demographic that is more concerned with style than with substance. The substance is mediocre. The beers are light on body and on flavor, the food forgettable. Neither is actually bad, but neither is it any more memorable than what you get at any other faceless forgettable brewpub chain, like Ram or Rock Bottom. I would go here again if I were staying in a nearby hotel, eating on an expense account, and in a hurry. I can't see ever again going out of my way to find this place. In that connection... their place at the airport is about the same, which is good compared to the alternatives at the airport. So yes, I would eat at the airport pub again.

It was delicious food with great service. The jam they serve with the Utah Scones is amazing

The atmosphere, food, and service here is incredible. One of my favorite places to eat and have a beer when I m downtown Salt Lake City. Huge selection of beer on tap. One of my favorite items on the menu is the nachos with sirloin tips or pulled pork, both are delicious.

Lager was down right disgusting, over priced and not only ruined that drink but the next again beverage in the next public house. Avoid at all costs unless you are a pretentious snob

I give this spot two thumbs up. Looking forward to a return trip. It has a great interior. Food and atmosphere reminds me of Kansas City.

Great beer selection! Friendly and efficient service. Kid friendly. Nice atmosphere.

I had the grilled salmon. It was fine. The atmosphere was fine. I d go back and try something else.

Good downtown atmosphere here. Nice selection of unique beers including the more popular nitro brews. Friendly service and the food was pretty good. Balsamic pizza was better than the chicken sandwich.

Great service, great beer, and great burgers! Love the Pub feel and decoration.

This place is amazing all around... The atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the Service especially! Forest was The best server! Dog friendly on the patio. We will definitely be back and recommend to everyone!

Bar staff nice and attentive. Sampler... Not great. Onion rings ok, pickles ok, Cajun fries are a JOKE lol, so bad. Wings are some of the worst I've ever had, tough and too spicy.

Squatters Pub is great. I love their Hop Rising Double IPA. The pub atmosphere is great, and the food was good. A nice place to get a drink in God's country.

This is a must for breakfast! We started off with the scones (which are more like binets rather than scones). We had veggie omelet, French toast, brewers breakfast and breakfast burrito. Everything was so good. Their house jam is to die for - you could literally drink it, it s so good!! Price is reasonable. We went during covid so the menu was limited - but we were able to get inside sit down dining - great service and friendly staff.

Service good. Large popular spot. Pulled pork sandwich good. Fries very soggy. Asked for crispy fries. Waitress very understanding. She ordered right up. They came 20 minutes later. Just btw happy with weekday you get. Note only 2 tv's at a very long bar. Lumpur one block away has a tv for every 3 stools. Just sayin

Very good food
Tve food is delicius

We always have a great experience here. Love the people, the food and the atmosphere.

*** New Review 11/9/19 - I still love Squatters Downtown, it still rates 5 stars, however, the menu lacks any true substance. Not sure who change the menu, but they have taken off all of the items that were good. Being in the hospitality business, if you take food items off the menu, you replace them with something. Noting was replaced, so now the menu is very limited on the selections. When you make changes like that, get your staff involved. Your staff is on the front line, ask them for their advice. Most senior management are just sitting behind a desk and looking at reports, making decisions and have the line manager dictate the orders. That is not the way to continue the success of Squatters, we will still come in because of the staff, not because of the food. You have now dropped your level to a few other micro brewery's. The other idea would be get your customers involved that have been coming in to squatters for a long time. I believe that you will start seeing some of your loyal customer shifting to other brewery's,.

The taco salad with grilled tofu, is a nice change of pace. Chelsea is the bomb of a sever, great personality, all around funny. The only thing is you need be careful of the finger nails. If, they change color it can be good or bad depending on the color

I know you get busy but don't give me old food that gets me sick. I went with a group of 10 people and none of us want to go back.
