Great relaxing spot to chill out after work and knock back a couple of cold ones. Big selection and they rotate new ones in pretty frequently

Excellent place to sample and know the beers of Wasatch and Squatters. There are even secret beer combinations...ask your server....

Second visit and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Beers were awesome! Food was great! They were able to accommodate my milk allergy, but were not informed on allergies. I had to look up the information on the suppliers website to figure out what I could eat.

I love this beer store. The staff are amazing. Truly the only place to buy beer in Utah is the Westside tavern! I must say Im taking a serious liking to their Brigham Young Root Beer too. They are using safe distance measures and enforcing wearing a mask. I feel safer shopping here than any place else! Thank you for always having a smile on your face. Truly the kindest staff, ever.

It is advertised on the door that they are open every Sunday, and every single holiday.. open every day 10 am-10 pm. yup you read that right; every single holiday. I came here on a Sunday at 4:46 in the afternoon and they were closed. No one in site.

20+ year supporter of Wasatch, I have encouraged several friend with bars to stock their products on tap and have spent 2 decades asking local retailers to cary their product. But at the Beer Store today I was discriminated against and rudly refused service and talked down too. The person at this location was very intollerant of diversity and sadly I feel I may never support Wasatch again.

Fantastic alcohol (especially the apricot hefe), food and workers! All of the employees are so friendly. Especially Tommy and Matt! I’m always so happy to see them when I walk in. You must try their brunch and the hot wings!

While the food and drink options are tasty, the service is always below average. I dont know what it is with Utah taverns but the workers lack basic training in the food and beverage industry. Most breweries have this blasé attitude. They act like the products sell themselves so they dont have to try or do anything. Its really frustrating! Every time I go here I have hopes Ill get attentive service. Nope. Not once. The workers only talk amongst themselves or seem to converse with the on-site factory workers/brewers. They act put out or annoyed when you hail them down to ask for anything. Dont expect good service. And expect to chase them down when you want something - even to order.

My favorite brew-pub in Salt Lake (and we have more than youd think). Food is very good here, above average bar food. There is patio seating as well as inside. Its noisy, but, its a bar. Servers are always fun and capable. If youre going to drink the beer try one of the nitrous beers on cask. Know that these are 3.2 beers, but they are very tasty and fresk.If you prefer higher gravity beers, try one of their bottled variety. Still fresher than that beer you were going to order from Oregon.

Great location to enjoy a nice selection of draft beers! Grab a pint, a hi point beer in the can or bottle, or liquor is served as well on the premises by a nice courteous staff. You can also get decent pub food. They can also fill a growler or crowler for take home, and also able to grab hi point or 3.2% cold beer in cans and bottles for take home. Nice outdoor patio in front of the place. A decent window to look into the brewery and production line. They just recently added a pinball machine and they also have swag available for sale. Cheers!

Stopped by for some lunch today. It was about 2pm so off hours and they were not busy. We saw a spot we really liked so we asked if they could clean it so we could sit there. The two girls up front pondered it for a minute then decided we could sit at the empty table. Stemmed like an easy call if you want to please your customers. After ten minutes of waiting for the table to be cleaned we left. PF Changs thanks you for the business. They were happy to seat us quickly where we wanted.

I love the beer here! I have been a fan for years and will continue to be a fan of Wasatch brewery. The beer is nice and cold and staff is always friendly. The food is good but the beer is better.

Friendly spot with great lunch options. Great weekday spot to unwind from work.2018 its become more of an employee lounge vs a bar at lunch. Cant speak to the evening crowd.

I was there on a Saturday afternoon. Hardly any selection in the beer case because they had been so busy. I had a gift card and wasnt sure how much was on it so I had to wait to have that checked because the bartender was using the only cash register. Get another cash register! And get another employee so that you remain stocked so that the only person working the carry out doesnt disappear each time to fill an order because the case is out of most things. The employees know that another register and another day person on Saturdays before 4 is necessary why doesnt management?

Ive only been here to buy beer. The cashier was knowledgeable and friendly and I had know issues. The beer here is really good and one of the better local brewers in my opinion. Check it out!

To the people who are from the free world and have found themselves in Utah beer is taxed at a spectacularly high rate if is is stronger than 4%abv so a case of beer is going to cost over $50 a six pack will cost you $12+ that extra 4$ goes straight into the Mormon governments pockets. All that aside you cant get any fresher Squatters/Wasatch than here. I was really digging the devistator dopple Bock.

Sours, hefes, Ipas, stouts, etc. You name it. They have it. Full strength beer too. I liked that they combined two breweries into one. Only having one night in the city I was limited with time but this merger allowed me to try two different breweries with the fraction of the time. Their bottle selection is definitely rich.

I dont know why this place is listed as The West Side Tavern because this beautiful wonderful happy place is named; Wasatch Beer and this is the number one favorite place in all of the state of Utah to go to buy the best beer in the western United States of America.Looks like the owner added to the name of the business.Wasatch Beer has been winning awards for the past thirty years for fantastic local beer.I enjoy going to the Wasatch Beer restaurant in both Sugarhouse located at 2100 South and 1100 East,,, and up in Park City, Utah for great beer and great food.The bottom line is that if you want the best beer in Utah, if you want your beer to be as fresh as possible, then This Is The Only Place in the state of Utah to go to buy your own personal Wasatch Beer at the source of its production.Once you develop a taste for high quality fresh local Wasatch Beer you will no longer be going to Maverick or 7-11 or Smiths for cheap low quality national beer.Yours, Robert Carl Slinger of Madison, Wisconsin and of Aschaffenburg, West Germany, I have been around in my life time.
