Joaquin G.

The service is really good. The ambiance is like when you go to a college town. They have a few pool tables and a lot of counter space.

The most delicious Oreo shake and a fun balloon for the kids.

Amazing service, even with a packed house! Sit at the bar for quick and fun service ...and ask for Carlos! He's got the nicest smile and was so courteous! Great atmosphere and lots of good food!

Playing life size jenga.

3.5 stars. It's dirty, divey and it smells like my old high school gym locker room. The upside is the staff kicks major butt, the drinks are cheap and the people are cool. There are a lot of pool tables, live music/DJ's and some basic food choices for eats. Or you can have food delivered or bring some in. There's a small bar, a lot of tables to sit at and a lot of pool tables. There is also a decent sized sidewalk patio to smoke & drink.

They have poker tournaments some days, which are free and pretty fun even if poker's not really your thing.

Cheers used to be one of our regular stops on a girls night out. Unfortunately after our experience…read moreon Saturday we won't ever be coming back. When we arrived we were told one of the girls in our group was banned. We were absolutely shocked to hear this given that we were there a few weeks ago and didn't have any sort of negative experience. When we asked what the ban could be for, he told us it was likely for rude service or lack of tipping. This was even more surprising given that our stay was so short, we are always sure to tip at every bar. I asked if it would be possible to look at footage together or look at an itemized receipt to try and understand the situation and we're told we were "shit out of luck". We were also told that managers are only present on Mondays or Wednesdays. We left feeling very embarrassed and confused and decided to call to see if there was someone we could talk to. A woman ended up answering the phone and agreed that the situation didn't make sense and that it could've been a mistake. She also said that there was always a manager on site and that there was one we could speak to there. Clearly the bouncer was either completely incompetent or just didn't care to help. She ended up getting busy and asked us to call back in about 20 minutes When we called back we had insanely rude customer service from the manager on site. He was very condescending to us, wouldn't let us speak to the woman we previously spoke to, and ended up hanging up on us. I am appalled they made a man with such a horrible attitude a manager. We simply wanted to make things right if we did do something wrong, and understand what was going on. We ended up looking at our phones and we took a video of the entire interaction ordering and paying for our shots. In the video when we receive our drinks, you hear us say thank you, ask them to close our tab, and one of the girls mentions leaving a tip. In the video you see us signing our receipt and leaving a tip. We generally always tip 20% for drinks. For shots we always leave $1-2 per shot. Sometimes even more. As someone who has worked in food service, this is very standard tipping. According to our camera roll, we were outside only three minutes after signing and leaving a receipt. After reading all of these other reviews with similar experiences, we assume the reason that one of us was banned was because she was the one that paid. Apparently, they expect higher than standard tipping rates for less than acceptable customer service. Losing some regular customers seems like more of a financial loss than whatever tip you expected on less than a $20 tab, but what do I know. If you're looking for a great bar with affordable shots and friendly staff take your money to Bodega.

Did you know that they have a true film photo booth? That is so rare to find!…read more My boyfriend and I made the hour long trek specifically to come here for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The booth is right off the bar, next to the entrance/window facing the street. Inside the machine you can pay with card ($7), then crowd into the booth. Please note to adjust your seat so you are at eye level. It'll take 4 photos, but there is a good amount of time between each shot. Wait 7-10 minutes for the strip to process. Then enjoy!

All I do it sit quietly at the end of the bar nearest the door, say please and thank you for drinks, pay my tab, leave a nice tip and leave. I guess minding your own business and not causing problems is their version of making people feel uncomfortable. It seems that their self-proclaimed "welcoming and safe place for all" bullshit is just that, bullshit. I have been made to feel uncomfortable by some of the clientele, but I didn't throw a fit over it. This included whoever wrote on the bathroom wall "Kill Trump". Really? It's too bad as I had not been going there for long at all and I was getting to like the new digs - it used to be called Wasted Space - and I was getting to know the staff. Allie was always nice to me. So were the other bar tenders and the blonde gal who checked ID's. I am terrible with names. Yes, I am older than who usually hangs out in there, but you know, "welcoming". Not so much. Anyway, there are plenty of other places to get drinks. If International doesn't want my business, OK. I won't lose any sleep over it.

Patrick's Pub was such a great find during my time in Salt Lake City. I was in town on a business…read moretrip, and this ended up being the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome. Everyone--from the greeter to the bartenders--was friendly, relaxed, and genuinely attentive. It's one of those pubs where you instantly feel like a local, even if it's your first visit. The space itself is cozy and comfortable, exactly what you want from a neighborhood pub. One of the highlights for me was the sports setup. On several nights I was there, they had hockey games on three TVs above the bar, which is surprisingly rare--and very much appreciated since I'm a big hockey fan. Other nights they had football and baseball on, so there was always something good to watch. Coming from LA, the drink prices felt amazing. After spending a little more time in the area, I realized they're actually better priced than many places nearby--so it's a win all around. Another bonus: they have real pinball machines, which is another personal favorite and a nice nostalgic touch. All in all, Patrick's Pub checks every box--great people, good vibes, solid drinks, sports, and pinball. It's a winner in my book, and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Well I'm little enough to slide through the railing to the sidewalk, so I did. Upon sliding back a loud man on a skateboard started yelling at me to leave the bar and I was out of there. I was so shocked I asked him if he worked here and he said he was coming to work and I had to leave now!! I had jumped the rail and I HAD TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW !! He was so rude and loud and spitting venom at me. We got up to leave and I heard him tell the bartender that served us that I had to go. "our" bartender told him I was a customer already. I told the guy he was really rude and he said I was rude and I should be an adult and use the door. I said he was rude and that I was a guest here and he told me I was not a guest and that I had to go and bye bye !!! I have never been talked to or treated that way in my entire life !! I left there crying. He was super aggressive with me and it was so uncalled for. This person should never be in the customer service industry. He's awful !!
