I've been here twice in the last 9 months, and both times have been happy with the service, quality, and selection. My biggest gripe was that there was no IPA available on tap. As a compromise, though, they do have a few nitro taps and one cask conditioned beer (both times it was the same beer, I believe). The draft selection, though, is underwhelming. All aspects of my experience have been better than average, but nothing outstanding. The food was the biggest surprise. There is a wide selection, reasonable prices, and everything I've had has been well prepared. For example, the Nicoise salad had Ahi that was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. Perfectly cooked, which, in my experience, is unusual for this type of establishment. (Note: selection score reflects beers and not food. Menu is fairly extensive and offers a wide variety).

I was actually at the Grand Opening of Squatters Brewery, back in 1989. Watched it change and grow over the decades.
I always come back for their Wings, truthfully. Most everything on the 5% ABV taps are decent. (And they brew a special beer called ‘Outer Darkness’, world class, in cans, look for it!)
Classy old building, fireplace to roast your cockells on a Utah winter evening, nice vibe, kid friendly, excellent staff and service, full menu, pay to park, watch out.
Used to be a cooler for take away, there’s merch for sale.,

just on the edge of downtown, this classic brewpub is the heart of craft beer in Utah. Big long bar, plenty of tables, and a nice shaded patio. $1 food menu available to get around the arcane Utah liquor laws.Taps are 4%, but bottles and cans are available. Definitely worth a stop.

Stopped Squatter’s downtown while wrapping up visit to SLC. Large very tastefully decorated wood and painted cinder block room. Large glass wall behind large long birch wood style bar shows off tanks. Great lighting and vibe. Went late Friday afternoon and a decent mixed crowd of people here to sip a beer; grab some good food ( hadThai Yellow Curry... excellent); get a little computer time in or socialize with table of friends. Nice cross section age. Clearly welcome and enjoyed by all. Beer selection included 19 beers; 11 on tap (4%) inc Cask and Nitro. I had the Nitro Dry Irish Stout. 8 bottles/cans ranging 5.2%- 9% abv. Good range of styles ... all more sipping. Nothing in Barrel Aged or Belgian styles.
People behind were friendly energetic and fun. Crowd ... same thing.
All in all a very nice place to relax; have a little fun and enjoy good beer and food.

Squatters Pub was located at the edge of Downtown Salt Lake City near the Convention Center. It was in an area with other breweries and pubs.

It was a large establishment with lots of tables and very long bar. With Utah's alcohol law, they only have beers of 4% or less on tap. The hostess was very friendly and took my take-out order. I enjoyed a glass of their stout while waiting for my food.

There was a nice vibe and people seemed to be enjoying themselves here. It was bustling too, which is a good thing.

Enjoyed my visit!

Nice place that pretty happening on a Tuesday evening. Sat at the bar and was served immediately. Had a sampler and all of the beer were very good to excellent. No complaints. I'd absolutely go back.

Great place to grab a pint downtown. Restaurant gastropub vibe as Utah doesn't do tasting rooms. Solid beer selection on tap under the required ABV, more stuff in cans and bottles. Prices are very reasonable. I didn't try the food but it looked good from looking at what other people had.

Squatters Pub in downtown Salt Lake is a cool and funky little spot, with a nice build-out, decent service and a view onto the brewhouse (which I always like to see). They had 10 taps (including one cask), 6 house bottles (for >4% beers) and 3 guest bottles (or "sister wives" as they put it). The beers are decent enough, if not groundbreaking; it could be worth a stop if you're in the downtown area.

Been here many times. Food and beer is really good, but some of those UT laws can fuck it up. Also, they charged me 3 times for my bill, until corrected.

Had a nitro vanilla porter for first libation. Enjoyable for the style. Fish and chips was my entree. Well, actually onion rings. Only two pieces of fish though. But the reason for this stop was not beer or food - but rather High West Campfire whiskey. A solid dram - while expecting something on the smokes side, I really didn't pick up any of that essence. But the notes included cinnamon, fudge and an outstanding finish. Still looking for a sample of High West Mid Winter night ... might try the tasting room at the airport tomorrow.

Great food and a solid selection of house brews. Come for the food, stay for the lively atmosphere, and buy some bottles to take home with you. The service was outstanding as well. I'll be back here on my next visit.

Visited on my first night of two nights staying in downtown SLC; a much needed rest after about 16 days of camping on and off. We actually arrived here during a Mormon holiday but this place was still open for regular hours and quite busy actually. As far as brewpub beer goes the product was above average with clean and fresh flavors. We had some appetizers which were good. Decor was good and the bar was just huge. They also had a nice setup upstairs with a smaller bar and view of the kitchen. Worth a shot for any craft fan and especially those who are into brewpubs specifically. In a land of limited beer opportunities it was nice to see places like this, BeerHive, Uinta and Epic.
