When you visit Buffalo, people ask you if you had the wings. When you visit Boston, people ask you if you went to Cheers. When you visit New Haven, people ask if you ate the pizza. When you visit Salt Lake City, people ask you if you've been to Squatters.
I'm not sure exactly why. I guess it's just easy to find, and it seems to encapsulate all that is enjoyable about the SLC drinkin' scene: good microbrewed beer, hippie-by-way-of-Utah healthy eats (with fries on the side), and a general sense that no one's gonna judge you for wearing Chums on your sunglasses and canvas pants that can be zipped into shorts at a moment's notice.
The ice cream's good, too! -

Food is decent.
The staff here is the worst. Evidently, every time we stopped in was during a shift change. We sat at the bar, and the staff would clock out and sit down next to us. A bunch of servers loudly complaining about their day, their customers, managers, co-workers, work environment and everything else imaginable. Maybe I'm wrong. But when you get off work, you should leave it.
Impossible to enjoy your meal or drink with loud, annoying servers sitting next to you.
Would never go back here again.Comment from Heather L. of Squatters Pub Brewery 1/30/2012

After eating here I was literally ready to move to SLC so I could go here every day. (No, seriously.) The food was really great, but what I think made it awesome was mostly atmosphere and experience.
This was my first time in SLC, so I don't know if this type of place is the norm for the area. I have no idea how it can have anything less than 4.5 stars! So if Utahns enjoy even better food, drink and atmosphere so are holding this place to a higher standard than me, well, then I'm ready to move to SLC even more!
As for the food, I had a classic cheeseburger and it was great! Really juicy, perfectly cooked, and delicious accompanying sweet potato fries. It's nothing fancy, just really well done classic American/pub food. My husband also really enjoyed his chicken sandwich and beer, with the only complaint being he wished there were more darker beer options.
As I said, the atmosphere was my favorite part. To be fair, I've been cravvvvinnggg a pub. I moved from Boston, the pub capitol of the world, to Vegas in August. I can't even quantify how much time I spent at pubs in Boston - holed up and staying warm during the freezing winter; getting a Sam Summer enjoying the long hours of daylight and nice breeze in the summertime; grabbing a quick bite to eat after getting out of work late - restaurants of this type are really my favorite. Well, on the long list of things Vegas lacks (in addition to everything representing culture or intelligence) is pubs. (It's either smoke-filled, divey, gross, video poker places, or inaccessible, over-priced places on the strip.) I've missed it oh so much!!
The first night in SLC I was on a mission to find a pub, and this place hit the spot soooo well. SLC is such a quiet little city, but this place was packed! We had a reasonable wait of about 20 minutes, but they had a section of doohickeys for sale to browse while waiting.
What made the atmosphere of this place a little different is that while albeit it was still a pub, it seemed family oriented. I saw several families with babies and very small children. You could NEVER bring a child into a pub in Boston without getting some seriously weird looks, but here it seemed pretty normal. Pretty cool!
Well, I'm rambling, and this is much more sentimental than I usually get in my Yelp reviews, but the takeaway is that this place was awesome. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be back! -

This is a tourist joint with as so-so burger. The redeeming quality as far as I am concerned was there was their wings. That and the service bumps it to a three. I do plan on returning and trying some of their other entrees but it is mostly an excuse to get more of the wings.

Shaka KHAAAAAAN, this is some wicked good beer!!
My life-long favorite beer anywhere, anytime, for any reason can be found on tap within the brick walls of Squatters.
(Cue the choir of angels with the spotlight!)
Squatters' HEFEWEISEN, regular or flavored, with orange slices. (We once spotted a "prominent predominant religious figure" try it. And by *try it* I mean chug down an entire 24 oz stein at once. In case you've just emerged from under your rock, this is prohibited...in public.)
I'd strap a saddle on my Grand-dad and ride him to Squatters to get this beer. (Okay, that's probably going too far. He'd never make it.)
The food at Squatters can be hit or miss. I know this sounds nuts, but in my experience, the food is better if you're sitting downstairs. I don't know why. I've asked; they can't explain it either. Could the altitude be bastardizing the crispness of the fries, or the elevation compromising the savory depth of the hummus? Evidently.
Legendary appetizer menu, for which our entire party has opted in lieu of entrees on many occasions. Shrimp and Ahi Ceviche is always a stellar choice, as are the Chips/Salsa/Black Bean Refritos. Frankly, the Nachos are nothing to scoff at, either.
If I'm really hungry, the salads are my go-tos, as they seem to be mostly consistently good. I LOVE the Ahi Spring Roll salad; I like the Cobb quite a bit; but I would avoid the Taco Salad (the mix just isn't right). Their fish & chips always seem to be a popular choice with many in our circle - worthy, but not my favorite. Hubby appreciates their burgers, and usually defaults to the one they callThe Bourbon Burger.
Despite our numerous visits to Squatters, we've not yet explored their heavier entree choices, like steak, stir-fry, or carnitas. I tend to stick with the lighter fare to avoid order remorse.
Although they offer a full bar, I also stay with the beer (see completely reasonable argument above). However, Hubby recommends that if you're in the mood for something stronger, for sure don't order a Vodka Collins here. Judging from the speed at which he returned the drink after sipping, I think I'd agree with him.
We should all be pleased that they utilize a few local-grown or sourced ingredients in their cuisine, like bread from Stoneground, Niman Ranch beef, and Millcreek coffee. Vocal about local! Very nice.
They accept reservations only for parties of 10 or more - minus one star.
The service at Squatters can also be spotty, and at times, extraordinarily bad, or good. Server turnover here is record-breaking. You'll rarely see the same server twice, unless you're here daily. But, I figure as long as they bring me unlimited refills of the Beer of Love, I can wait a good 365 days for the food part.
Just kidding. Food and beer are too great together. Especially at Squatters. -

This is Utah people; if you're a frequent visitor from another part of the country you know what I mean. The 5 star rating is relative to anything else available in Salt Lake City.
Squatters has a great brewpub atmosphere and decent food. They brew the best beer in the state; amazingly good given the draconian Utah beer laws.
I spend quite a bit of time in Salt Lake for work and have learned a bit over the years....
Get a room at the Peery Hotel and walk across the street to Squatters. Every once in a while walk the extra block to the Market Street Grill. Repeat. -

I like the Polygamist Porter and the Hop Rising, but several other beers were pretty ho hum. It may have been the crazy laws though - everything else I tried was draft. The veggie burger is made there - garbanzo-based, which I'd never seen before. Tasty but Huge.

I'm only giving this place 3 stars because of the beer. If they didn't have as much of a selection, it would revive 2 stars from me.
I stopped here while on business in salt lake.
My server was horrible, she was a short Asian girl. Probably only came over once or twice and being that I was alone, didn't hold any conversation with me at all.
Melissa, another server actually came by a little and talked but she wasn't even my server, though I wish she was.
The beer, IPA was awesome.
I ordered the burger, with fries. The burger wasn't that tasty, pretty bland. Even with onions, sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese on it.
The French fries were skimpy, only maybe a handful, yes they were thick, but Jesus, don't be so conservative with them. Load me up.
All in all, I MIGHT come back just for a beer, that's it. -

This place has yet to let me down. One word.... consistency!
Every time my hubby and i venture here, and quite often mind you, we always have great food, great beer, and great service.
The menu has a nice variety of vegi friendly dishes, as well as normal fare for the rest of us. I like the fact you can order a nice mixed green salad with a burger, instead of fries.
The beer selection is tasty and refreshing. I have too many favorites to mention. -

Great draft beer selection and amazing food! It's like pub fare, but with creative recipes that are made with super fresh ingredients. I wish I wasn't a tourist, this would be my weekly dinner spot. I forget the name of it, but they had a draft dark organic beer that was really good.

3.5 stars...Good atmosphere, average food. Seemed to have a good selection of beers, but I wasn't overly impressed with the 2 I had, the Emigrant amber ale and Full Suspension ale. I ate the bourbon burger, nothing special. My wife had the tilapia sandwich, she said it was pretty good and was a decent size. I'd give it another try if i was back in SLC.

While I was in town for a few weeks I visited Squatters four times and my overall reaction to this establishment is a pretty big "Ehhh".
The first time I stopped in with my uncle and coworkers for a beer. It was fine... I am not that huge of a microbrew person but I liked my sampler. Service was fine. My uncle bought me gift card knowing I would be in town for work for the next few weeks.
After not returning for 2 weeks I knew I needed to spend my gift card so one night I got take out after a long day at work. I got the mac and cheese. I assumed it was house made because it said it was from a blend of three cheeses but it seemed more like a box powder sauce. It was very yellow and runny...not at all like a scratch cheese sauce... pretty disappointing and for the value not very good - about $20 for the sub-par mac & cheese with a house salad.
Third visit, stopped in for a beer. It was fine.
If it wasn't for a $75 left on my giftcard, I wouldn't have returned but on my last night in town I needed to go spend it! I sat at the bar and started to get a little irritated because no one - NO ONE said anything to me or even looked at me for a good five minutes although many servers were nearby and even standing directly in front of me. I couldn't tell who was serving the bar but Tadja ended up serving me. (I will say after I got helped, two other staff asked if I needed help.) I got a few drinks and the veggie sandwich with steak fries... the food was pretty good this time and drinks were nice. My server was the best service I have had so far at the place. Tadja was great - checked on me many times and made sure I was happy! She was friendly and had a few small conversations with me, which is nice when you're sitting at the bar alone. (Thank you, Tadja!)
I donno... I just get somewhat of an off vibe from many of the servers/workers there. Just not friendly or happy looking aside from Tadja of course... I didn't interact with anyone else although I was people watching the entire time. I was sitting right there in front of the staff and several of the other servers were near me for most of my visit yet no hello's or even smiles from anyone else... Call me picky, but I like when I feel welcomed and get at least smiles and a good vibe from staff at a bar/restaurant. Muster up some friendliness, ya know?
My food/drink tab didn't clear off my gift card so I was going to buy some merchandise with the remainder but when I went over there a little after ten after all of it was put away (did not see any signage posted merch was put away at a certain time but I may have missed it). The hostess told me to come back the next morning to buy it (really?). I explained it was my last night in town and she reluctantly agreed to let me get a couple items and snappily asked what stuff I wanted. Not friendly AT ALL and seemed really irritated that I wanted her to help look at a couple things that were put away in a cupboard below the display shelf... she actually made me feel bad. And really, it took her all of about 4 minutes to help me so it shouldn't have been a big deal.
I donno if it was a full moon or I just happened to visit when almost everyone seemed like they were in a bad mood but I definitely expect better, friendlier service! If I lived in SLC, I would NOT go out of my way to spend my money at Squatters. -

Good. Not fantastic or mind-blowing. If you want a microbrew with decent food Squatters is a fair choice. I've had worse, I've had better. Beer sampler was good, I would highly recommend that.
Its a good place to grab a beer and an appetizer with a friend when you have an hour to kill. I wouldn't recommend it for dinner honestly. -
Review from Sky T.
Squatters Pub Brewery is a boisterous and cheery place to go to with a large group of people. The atmosphere is lively and loud at all times so it is a great place for a large group to get a little rowdy after enjoying a mug of beer with simple food. This place is meant for talking loud so if you have a natural tendency to talk a little louder after consuming alcohol then you will fit right in.
The food is typical and decent--nothing too outstanding, but does go well with beer. They have a large assortment of different brewed beers so if you are a beer o' clock type of person then you'll find the right one for you somewhere among their taps.
Recommendation(s): My favorite dish is actually one of their appetizers called the Roadhouse Nachos with Sautéed Sirloin Tips for under $13. It is perfect for sharing and is very tasty. -

No beer over 4%ABV on tap which is lame. I could never live in this state. The mac and cheese was ok. I paid about 6 bucks for a bottle of IPA. I've been to a lot of brewery's and this one was the worst yet. Good friendly service other than that I wouldn't get your hopes up about this place.

I came to SLC for a business trip and immediately looked up brew pubs on my handy yelp app on my blackberry. Low and behold, Squatter's seemed to be the most popular and it was nearby so I headed on over.
It was very crowded but I was able to find a seat at the bar. Service at the bar was excellent. I opted to try both of their own home brew IPA's. I must say, I was disappointed in their beer. I was expected more hoppiness but the beers had an almost watered down taste. Major let down for a brew pub.
I had the carnitas for dinner and they were excellent. The menu was fairly diverse and anyone should be able to find something to order that they will like.
I would return...but would try a sampler or two of their beers before committing to a pint. Another option worth mentioning is that they have an extensive collection of unique bottled beers. -

These guys love their beer, and it's good. Even for Utah good. Perhaps its the scarcity of actual beer in Salt Lake, or the congregation of "escapees" finding beer on tap... but it was a good experience, the bar tenders love beer and can talk to you about each brew if you want, the atmosphere is quite nice, and you know you have a lot in common with everyone around... the "OMG we found a bar that doesn't suck and doesn't close at 1pm!"

Save yourselves! It's too late for me, but don't waste your time going here if you care at ALL about service. I got roped into going back here for someone's birthday and came away seriously disappointed. I would give them zero stars if I could, because that's how bad tonight's service was.
Our waiter was what I have come to expect as the usual for this place, which is to say slow to serve us, and a total failure on the keeping water glasses filled front.
The real problem arose when we got up to leave. It turned out that one of our party had been sitting in an enormous pile of gum the whole night! His pants and shirt were ruined. We decided to give Squatter's the chance to make it right by bringing it to the manager's attention. Her response (in a flip tone) was basically "well, you can send me the dry cleaning bill if you want."
All the manager had to do to diffuse the situation was apologize in a sincere tone and offer to do something for us, or ask us what could be done. Instead, her response offered further provocation. I will never go there again, and I will tell everyone I know about the service we received there. My ill-will could easily have been prevented had the manager reacted more appropriately.
Shame on you, Squatter's, for allowing such lax management attitudes.
P.S. It's an even bigger shame that their food is mediocre and their service is terrible, because they really do make good beer. If only they could raise their other standards to match their beer, they'd be a fantastic place.1 Previous Review: Show all »

My sister brought me to squatters to try what she told me were the best sweet potato fries ever. They were good, but not the best ever!
The service was pretty bad- although we did arrive during the friday lunch rush. I had the hummus plate and quinoa salad. Both were decent.
Squatters is a nice place for a casual lunch if you are in the area, but did not knock my socks off. -

Disclaimer: I don't drink.
Clarification: I'm not Mormon (not that there's anything wrong with that).
That being said, Squatters is my favorite brewpub in downtown SLC. Red Rock and Gracie's (WTF is a gastropub?) are both fine, but I prefer this place. The food is the best of the three. The atmosphere feels like a place you can go after work and yell/laugh a bit with your friends. To me, RR and G are a bit too uptight.
It doesn't hurt that the place pushes its environmentally conscious attitude.
Also, try the fried pickles. -

I have been frequenting Squatters since my first business trip to Salt Lake City in October, 1997. Fourteen years. Regrettably, May 16, 2011 will have been my LAST visit to this establishment for the following reasons.
When I arrived on Monday evening, May 16 around 8 pm, there were no tables available and so I took a seat at the bar, back across from the kitchen, where one has a clear view into the kitchen.
The server was friendly, and service was prompt. I ordered the lamb shank with mashed potatoes. As I was waiting for my meal, I was watching the staff in the kitchen. Of the four men in the kitchen, three were poorly dressed--one cook had his shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest, another's dark blue shirt was filthy; but worst of all, one of the cooks was wearing his beltless pants down below his rear end. The left side of the waistband of his hanging pants was grubby with food because he kept reaching around with his left hand and hiking up his pants AS HE WAS COOKING. He was wearing bright green underwear, by the way. His pants-grabbing was constant.
When my food was delivered, it looked great on the plate. However, two bites in to the mashed potatoes, I pulled a hair out of the mashed potatoes. It was about two inches in length, and from its appearance, it was obviously a pubic hair.
I called the server over, and showed this to her. She removed my plate and apologized, asking me if I wanted something else.
Against my better judgement, I ordered the fish and chips. However, as this food was being prepared, the cook with the hanging pants continued hiking up his pants with his left hand as he was preparing peoples' food. I called the server over, and asked her to watch with me, to see what I and the other patrons along this section of the bar were seeing. After only a few moments, she acknowledged the distastefulness of this situation. She said, "Thank you for noticing this, and for bringing this to my attention."
As that appeared to be the end of the issue with the server, I then asked to speak to the manager.
As I was waiting for the manager, the server brought my fish and chips. By that point, I was so disgusted with the peep show going on in the kitchen, but FAR MORE disgusted (and increasingly revolted) by the pubic hair in my mashed potatoes so that when the manager finally did arrive, I stood up, explained the situation, and stated that I would NEVER patronize Squatters again. EVER.
No reputable food establishment should allow--WOULD EVER ALLOW--their kitchen staff to be so poorly dressed, to habitually behave in such unhygienic ways, and to continue on after such a breach in quality of food and service.
Shame on you, Squatters.Comment from Heather L. of Squatters Pub Brewery 5/24/2011

Review from Sarah C.
This is a Salt Lake institution. You pretty much don't visit downtown SLC without a visit to Squatter's.
Another delightful time this week- tried a great cream ale and was very happy with my veggie burger! I ordered a side salad with their cilantro lime salad dressing, which I ended up dipping my burger in- so good!! The grilled veggie sandwich is really good too. Nice to have several vegetarian options! Weirdly good coffee beer too and I don't even like coffee!
Great service from Keely! I love the atmosphere here. It reminds me of a BJ's or Yard House, and the prices are not bad.
Wish the bathroom weren't down the stairs and down a dark, creepy hallway...after a few ales, you could take a tumble down there! -

So, I may have imbibed a bit too much wine at the hotel prior to venturing here for a "night cap", but I've got to say, the beer offerings (Hefeweizen and Hell's Keep) that I had were pretty darn good!
There was something about the atmosphere/vibe that made this feel like much more of a tourist spot than a local spot, but it was very crowded and people seemed to be having a good time.Listed in: Utah Travels

I've always had high regard for the Buffalo wings at Squatters. Last night, it very nearly made me cry. Very nearly. But it definitely made my nose all sweaty. And it felt so good!
I don't (or very rarely) go to Squatters for the food. I don't go there expecting stellar service. To me, Squatters is all about the beer and the wings. Nothing more, nothing less. -

I will never go there again, obviously. Businesses need to be much more careful about their standards - i completely threw them under the bus on Facebook as well.

Great beer Full Suspension Pale Ale. Lousy place to watch a game with limited TV's and poorly placed. Mac n cheese resembled a Stouffers frozen dinner with way too much sauce to noodle ratio. Was hoping for a baked and crispy entree - not what I got. The view of the open kitchen did not help...worried Gordan Ramsay may show up and close it down. Bartender was friendly and attentive

In town for a conference, and was looking for a cold beer and good food. Plenty of good beer at a good price. Had an oatmeal stout which was quite good along with an amber which was also tasty.
For dinner had a Brat boiled in the Oatmeal stout which was also quite good. Everyone else seemed to be happy with their grub, although one person's food was cold.
Service was good...no complaints.
We sat outside which was great.
We actually got here around 6p as the night before we got here at 730p and there was at least a 45 minute wait. Tonight when we left we asked and the wait was an hour. Not the fault of the restaurtant that I could tell, just seems popular! -

In our quest to check out some local flavor on a trip to Salt Lake and when I say flavor, I mean beer, we found ourselves at Squatters. Sitting at the bar was a good choice so we could sample the flavor offering at Squatters.
Note: To non-native Utahans, you cannot sample beers! Not blaming Squatters, because it is Utah law, just be forewarned, let's hope you like what you are ordering, cause you are getting full sized. That said, it's craft beer, what's not to like?
We both enjoyed our beers (I didn't fall madly in love with the brew, but it was still good) and with the low alcohol content, we weren't too worried about falling off our barstools after a few or get kicked out like someone next to us did!
The high ceilings, floor plan of building, fireplace, and upbeat environment all helped add to the atmosphere of Squatters and I even scoped out an awesome patio that looks like it would be my favorite spot in the summer!
We came back later after the Jazz game and the bartender remembered us and had our beers down in front of us before we sat down. Nice!!
We didn't get a chance to eat, so my review is based on beer, service, and atmosphere. Overall, a good choice in SLC! -

Get the artichoke dip! It's soooo yummy. It's different than your usual artichoke dip because they blend it all together to kind of a paste but it's the most delicious paste I've ever tasted ;)
Their beers were alright. Service was great. They close at 1am which is lame, but I think it's a state law or something. -

This place is in a great location. Has the best beer in that area. Great selection and tasty beer. Had half order of pork nachos then a few days later the steak nachos. So good. Pork was the best. Very good service and atmosphere. Was not even that busy during the world series so no long wait.

Ok, I've been to a lot of brew pubs and well this is ok. For Salt Lake City, it's probably the best you'll find. If you are used to Seattle or Colorado well this might not be memorable =)
Food was average and the beers are average. -

Great microbrew pub. They have a good range of food selection for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, and are very conscious about how their ingredients are sourced, offering a nice selection of organic items. They also have a good vegan menu.
The beers are great, Squatters does a very nice job with their brews and has a solid variety. Squatters is near the top of my list for places I recommend people go when they're in town looking for an all-American place to eat.
