    Came in on a Thursday afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all. I'm not a big beer drinker, but it looks like they have a decent selection of beers and the beer I got was pretty good. My buddies seemed to enjoy their beers also. I think it's Utah law, so I think anything over 5% abv has to be in a can. They also charge for samplers here. I believe the worker said it was $2? You can order food from next door at Proper Burger and they will deliver it to you. I got a mushroom Swiss burger and it was pretty good. They have a bunch of other types of burgers and my buddies also enjoyed their burgers, fries, and onion rings. This place also has several TVs, pinball machines, skeeball, and pool tables. They also have a little store where you can purchase beer and other Proper Brewing items. Because it wasn't busy at all, we were able to enjoy a few beers and our burgers and were able to hang out and talk for a while. Not sure how it is when it is really busy, but it's a cool spot to get a drink and some food and hang out for a while without being bothered or asked to leave.

    Love this tee. This guy was inline for a beer!!

    Great burgers and fries. They have some creative ideas with their burgers I have to say. Fries are also great. They have a delicious cheese fries menu. But the beer menu is amazing. Fun vibes.. give them a try.

    Had this beer at another establishment while visiting Park City, so when spending time in Salt Lake City decided to check out the Proper Brewing. We checked it out on a Monday afternoon so it was a great place to chill. Mondays they have free pool, so that was a fun surprise in showing up there and kept us there for a few hours. Also tried the Shorty's, was a great beer as well. The bartender working was extremely friendly, answered all of our questions on the beers while offering up his favorites too. Would definitely come back to hang out when in Sat Lake City!

    The burgers are always delicious. The bun is fresh and burger fixings are tasty! I love the zucchini pickles and appreciate the healthy portions. The fries are fresh. A large portion can be shared by two people. There is a great selection of craft beers and cocktails. Service is great. Staff is friendly and laid back, while being attentive. Proper Brewing, which is next door to Proper Burger, is a great place to hangout. They have sports playing on a large screen on the wall, there are plenty of retro games for those that want to hang around for awhile. Will be back!

    This is a pretty popular brewery, where most people grab a burger from the sister business proper burger next door. There are some arcade games and pool tables. They will definitely fun out of seats on a busy night but the atmosphere is fairly relaxed. I was able to stop in and try a number of samplers and get a few pints. Overall the beers were good. They definitely have a large number of ipas and hoppy beers. I didn't love the balance on their sours, but because the beer rotate through, they might be better the next time I visit. The staff was very pleasant and made some good recommendations for what to try next.

    Such good beers at Proper Brewing! Extra bonus points go to this brewery as it is open later than a lot of the other ones in the city and this is a city that rolls the sidewalks up early for a urban area of it's size. I got a lovely wheat beer here which I was very impressed with and the atmosphere is cool too. Kind of a lot going on at this location. One part of it serves burgers and another part is a merchandise shop. Parts of it seems to close earlier than other areas. The taproom looks like it's the last to close. Good place to stop and especially so if you touring SLC breweries.

    Go Jazz!

    It's a fun atmosphere! Plenty of seating and good beer. We came during covid and all the games were shut down. Now that covid is pretty much over, the games are back on! There's skee ball, arcade games, pinball machines, pool table, and shuffle board. All the games are free or affordable so it's a cheap and easy date night plan. Depending on which beer you order, it can get pricy. I like IPAs and they are obviously more expensive than the regular stuff. They didn't have the hopspital which was my preference so I went with something else.

    Stopped in after a long flight. Was a little confusing. If you want food you have to order next door and they will bring the food over. Hopefully there's not a long line to order food and then hopefully you don't have to wait to order drinks. We didn't have such luck. We were told we couldn't open our can of water while the rest of the group was ordering (food ) and had to open next door. That was confusing and explain LaCroix is a sparkling water only, they still said no. Ok back over the the brewery again to order. Drinks were mehhh nothing crazy. Had some fun games we played. Music was not to loud, which was good since it made you feel like you were in s weird 90 's video game. I order the Utah Johnny burger which was good, large basket of fries again good. Overall I think I would pass on this place if you're looking up places in SLC.

    Really great ambiance. Solid choice to just kick back and try some creative brews. Slow day so service was great. Friendly staff, worth a stop!

While I wouldn't describe White Horse as expensive, it does give upscale bar vibes with upscale pub food. The interior vibes are very hipster, packed with tables, including a few communal ones. The bar is. sight to see, with bottles towering to the ceiling. This is a 21+ restaurant, so be aware if dining with kids. I absolutely loved that they had NA beer on tap. Stoked to order my first on-draft NA IPA. Yum! We ordered the French dip and the steak sandwich. Both sandwiches came with fries, and both were fantastic. Neither was unbelievable or groundbreaking, but very solid renditions of each dish. I loved the pickles served with each dish. The fries were good but a tad salty. The service was good. Food came fast; the server checked in on us often. White Horse is located on a street with several other great restaurants, all highly rated on Yelp. While some are a bit more expensive, there is a lot of overlap between White Horse and some of these other great restaurants. It's a challenging block to make a choice! White Horse is a fun, intimate restaurant that is great for drinks, and I'd imagine they don't really have a bad dish on the menu. I would recommend it for a nicer spot to dine in downtown SLC.

We visited at least two, during our four days in SLC. This one was the first: a cathedral-style brewpub with a sports bar aesthetic, with decent food, decent drinks, decent service, and decent prices. Everything was decent. You're not likely to be disappointed by anything you order, but you're not likely to be blown away by anything, either (another thing Squatters has in common with McMenamins, I'd say). During our second visit (to another location, but I'm sure the same rule applies), our party was only interested in ordering drinks (one per person, mind you), but we were informed that we *had* to order some sort of food to accompany them (I'm sure this is more of a Utah thing, rather than a Squatter's thing, but still annoying), so bear that in mind if you're looking for a place to just chill with a beverage and watch a game. Still, the vibe here is lively and friendly; assuming your server is as well, which was a coin flip, in our experience. For a fast, casual chain of brewpubs, Squatters has a lot going for it, and I can see why they are popular, as clearly as I can see ways in which they can improve. A little more focus, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, and Squatters could absolutely dominate in SLC, and beyond.

However, there was a huge line for people to get carded so the front desk guy wanted to card them in first. That was understandable as that created a huge line and backed up the front door. However, someone came behind me with cans so he let them pay first and by the time they finish paying, more people were coming in to get carded. He decided to card them instead of letting me purchase a glass . So at that time I had just left instead of waiting for the continuous cycle of getting carded I'm having to further wait. Hopefully when things are busy, they will have someone to help out carting people in. Otherwise fantastic brewery.
