Atmosphere on the bar side is excellent. Shuffle board side is fun if you have a group. Service out of the kitchen is quick. Staff on the floor very responsive. The food always comes out hot and prepared well. My personal favorite is fish and chips but occasionally branch out. Latest is calamari steak. Not your typical rubbery appetizer. This is an actual steak cut into thick strips, lightly breaded and salted to perfection. Then tossed in a subtle, but flavorful, tomato', onion, garlic, cilantro salad. Served with a simple crusty bread and lemon wedge. Killer! Will definitely do that again. Cocktails above average for the area and match typical price for area. Their beer and wine selection is great. read more

Great place. Wonderful service. The food was good. I'm not a local, but I felt like one. read more

We had a really great experience at The Cellar. We came in late on a weekday and they are open late so we thought it would work out. All 6 of us needed a seat in an absolutely packed restaurant and bar. While we waited to get seated a server took the order of our two youngest kids so the food would be out sooner- what a huge relief as they were getting HANGRY. My husband and I got our drinks and just as the food arrived our table was ready to go. How thoughtful! A great experience read more

If you're not local, you're not welcome here. Save your money and go somewhere where you're not treated like you're crashing a high school reunion. Horrible service. The waitress ignored us and literally sat at a table next to us with her friends. If we needed something, we were out of luck. Food was just so-so. So many other places we should have tried instead. Unfortunate as we would have loved to get drinks and make a night out of it but couldn't get out of there fast enough. Will absolutely not be going back. read more

Phenomenal service and atmosphere. The wings were delicious and the service staff was fun and cracked strong jokes.

If you're in Ketchum you need to RUN to The Cellar! It's a place that remind you of a place that everyone knows your name! Full bar with great beer on tap and the food.... The food was amazing. I have the Chipotle Penne Pasta with shrimp (not on the menu! It was their special) my husband had the sliders. He said the fries were the best he's had. Servers were friendly!? read more

Love this place! Food is good and the servers are nice. Accept the blonde bar tender.

Quite unique location below the street level on Sun Valley road. Great spot for good food. Excellent Cocktails. And a great spot to watch games all week long. One of the coolest spots in our town. read more

We have been coming back for the fish and chips for 20 years or so because of the large portion of fish and delicate batter. Last night the fish was small and the batter thick and strong. We like the people at the Cellar and love the draft Manny,s. read more

This was a solid place to come for dinner! The food was good, and I loved the vibe. I ordered a beef slider and a side of mashed potatoes. The slider was a good way to get a little taste of burger without getting the whole thing. The mashed potatoes were a little bland, but the gravy was good and had enough flavor to offset it. The portion size was huge for just a side of them! Overall I'm glad we came. It's a fun place to come in a ski town! read more

I didn't like the meal I chose, BUT, that's on me. French fries were delicious and beer was tasty. Staff was friendly, personable, and made a point to shout goodbye to us from over the railing as we walked away. Will visit again! read more

This is a fun place to go in Ketchum. The drinks are stiff and I would recommend the fish and chips. There's a great bar scene on the downside. It's a little dark since it's in the basement of a building, but they do a good job with it. Friendly staff efficient service whats not to like? Just go expecting that this is not a fine dining institution, but is more of a pub, and you'll be all set read more

Can NOT recommend this place enough. Which a solid spot. Burger was excellent, bar staff was top notch and service was fabulous!

Great tomato bisque soup and grilled cheese panini's. Excellent service. A bit noisy but great locals feel.

We took a big crew to the cellar pub after a nice long day of skiing. The location was fun, and the server was super nice and accommodating. We had a few kids with us and he was patient with the kiddos. Anyways, the food was good, but not like OH MY GOSH good. Shrimp tacos were good, soup was YUM; and the hummus was also good. Good spot for groups too. This will be a spot we hit again next time we're in Ketchum. read more

With a week in Sun Valley I was looking for a place to eat some fish or seafood and the Cellar Pub seemed to have one of the better variety of items on the menu at reasonable prices and I was glad I tried it. Located in the middle of town across from the Visitor Center the Cellar can be easy to miss since it is downstairs, but trudge down the stairs and you will find a cozy, dark and welcoming dive bar. Decorated in ski town eclectic that feels well worn this is a great place to relax and unwind. The Cellar offers drink specials and happy hour pricing, but I ended up ordering the 3 piece Fish and Chips. The plate came out with 3 nice sized hunks of cod with a crunchy batter, a pile of fries, coleslaw and home made tarter sauce. The fish was very good, perfectly cooked and just slightly sweet with the fried outside hanging on to the fish. The tarter sauce was tasty and the fries and slaw were also nicely done. For the price this was a very good meal, tasty and filling. I actually think that I missed out on the evening special which was a Penne Pasta with pesto and shrimp; it looked and smelled excellent. I also talked to some other people on my trip who went to the Cellar a couple of days later and they had a great meal as well. The Cellar is well worth a visit, great dive bar, cool decor, solid service and excellent food; unless you have a issue with being underground this is the place. read more

Great food, vibe and service. Always like to see the skis on the ceiling beams signed by the Pro's. We eat here every time we ski in Sun Valley. read more

Service was good. Food was good It was a very small pub Walked passed it then saw stairs going down to entrance

We came here for dinner and drinks. I love the decor and atmosphere in this smaller underground pub. The drinks were great and the service was wonderful. The food was good but typical bar food. I would come back for drinks and appetizers. read more

Excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere. The menu has a variety of great options. Tough to beat the imperial pints and shuffleboard. read more

We are Cellar regulars and this place is the best. From the owners to the bartenders and servers everyone is always beyond helpful and friendly. Great food and drinks, the most consistent in town. Ketchum and a friendly, welcoming town. We all love the Cellar. You have to try hard to have a negative experience there. Don't listen to 1 star reviews from ignorant Chicago residents (this guy seems to write only 1 stars, btw). Patrons don't wear masks in restaurants; if he's still afraid of Covid he should stay home - in Chicago preferably. read more

Came here after the Warfield down the block. Not nearly as finely crafted a cocktail. Loud, crowded, smelled like a downstairs basement pub packed with dudes. read more

Excellent place to eat when you are in Ketchum. I originally had a mind set to eat fish and chips, but I saw sautéed calamari on the menu. I changed my mind and order calamari. It was delicious and I highly recommend to try it. It's enough to order as a main entree. read more

We stopped in the Cellar because we liked the menu. The food was terrific, I had a chicken pesto sandwich and it was a very generous sized sandwich. Chicken flavorful, tender and juicy. My hubs had chicken strips, generous sized. Crispy fries. One stellar part was how incredibly friendly the staff was. Everyone greeted. They checked in and overall had great attitudes! We would visit again and I highly recommend! read more

The boyfriend and I stopped in on one of our nights here in Ketchum. The food we had was really good but those Kobe Beef Sliders were AMAZING. That being said, the servers were pretty rude whenever we would ask for another drink. They also brought us our check without us asking which we took as our sign to leave. I'd like to go back in the future but maybe with different servers. read more

Yelp helps us feel like locals. We crawled down the stairs to this cozy place for dinner. The menu isn't huge, but it doesn't need to be. The Yelp reviews stood out: 4.5 average rating! We were not disappointed. Sat outside in the balmy August evening and had a delicious repast: the Shrimp pasta special was divine (shrimp perfectly grilled), the Poor Man's Surf and Turf excellent, the Onion Rings (my personal sinful excess) really yummy. Something in the batter, really makes it. All of our four dishes were terrific. The service was great. Even better: we spotted our wait-staff from the previous night, here sipping a brew. A local haunt! This is why summer vacations, watching the locals, and Yelp reviews are the best. read more

"But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd." - Shakespeare (commenting on the Cellar staff) Two stars for past good nights there when I was a younger man. The place has, like all of Ketchum, changed. Absolutely packed. But mainly gross negligence by their staff. My brother-in-law and I (plus a number of cousins) were all in town for the weekend because of a separate celebration. Afterwards, we thought: hey, let's go out and check out our old haunts. I did not have pockets, so my brother-in-law was carrying my ID and CCs. After he went through, I realized this and asked him to hand me mine. He handed me his own, on mistake of course. The bouncer - doing his job - said "wait a minute, I've seen this" and took it as a fake or as borrowing an ID (a misdemeanor). Understandable up to now. But then it got out-of-control. They pulled my brother-in-law out (no refund for the drink he bought nor explanation to him). I explained the mistake and had my brother-in-law take out my ID in order to remedy the situation. Clearly we'd just mixed up IDs. We were both well over 21 and there was no question of authenticity. Fine, fine, bouncers & establishments can be cautious and refuse us entry despite our obviously real IDs, that is a business's right. BUT THEN they refused to give back our IDs. We just want to go elsewhere at this point, but they will not return our IDs. We have flights the next day, so needless to say we need them that night. I ask the bouncer if I may speak with the manager. "No." I see Karl, someone I knew in high school, is working there and ask if he can get clarification for us. He agrees and then mysteriously never returns. Now I'm getting upset, so I tell the bouncer to call the police if he thinks a crime has been committed and report me, or give me the IDs back. "No." All the time, the bouncer is getting more belligerent. Eventually I have to resort to calling the police myself and two sheriff's office deputies show up and kindly retrieve our IDs and validate them in about two seconds. The deputies tell us the establishment doesn't want us in there (a mutual feeling now) and that they were told we are there doing this stuff every weekend (literally a complete & shocking lie; this is my first time back to town since COVID). As a final insult, the staff had marked up my brother-in-law's ID with some kind of imprint stamp or something of that nature, which the deputies assured us is (a) not legal, but (b) did not permanently damage the ID. Luckily TSA agreed, so we had no airport troubles, otherwise I might just have taken up the deputies suggestion to contact the Idaho Liquor Board to report them (and I'm still of half a mind to do so). Welcome home, I guess. Next time you confiscate someone's identification, you call the police if the person insists it is real and will not leave without it. You are not the law. Detaining people or their property is not part of your job description, you are supposed to bring the LAW into these situations. And vandalizing an ID before it has been authenticated by LEGAL authorities is absolutely atrocious. read more

Went for a simple drink, but ended up having a drink and light dinner. My friend and I had a Tito's martini with a splash of cranberry. The generous pour was delicious! Spouses had Manhattans--very good and again, a generous pour. Our dinners were outstanding! Tuna burger and bangers and mash. Wonderful service. I highly recommend. read more

This is an old school cheap locals basement dive bar in Ketchum. If you are looking for a fancy $20 cocktail and a bespoke, shade-grown, organic roasted chicken breast, don't come here. If you want chicken wings, a cold beer, and a local vibe, then this is your place. Foods not great, but good enough. read more

Used to be a great place with great food however both staff and patron seem to think that not wearing masks is ok in the middle of a pandemic (even though the city requires masking). The look they gave us when we walked in yesterday wearing masks was positively unfriendly and borderline threatening. The city should close this place read more

This place was literally heaven on Earth. The indoor/outdoor option was a nice option. I ordered a shrimp/pesto kind of pasta and chicken. It was the best pasta I have ever had! Most pasta penne I get is greasy and doesn't have a really flavorful bite. This pasta made for the best leftovers too! I live in Boise and would gladly made the almost 3 hour drive for dinner at the Cellar Pub for the pasta. The atmosphere outside on the New York-style in-ground patio was warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to not knowing the menu; our waitress was delighted to help us choose a meal. What a place!! read more

Service is meh, prices are good for the town, the place has a nice a aesthetic instead of going the typical this is a dive bar. Id give it 4 stars but the older lady working the bar was so drunk she accused me of having a fake ID because it was an out of state license. Luckily someone else was working with her. read more

Love this spot. Came to The Cellar after a wedding reception and had a total blast with the wedding party. Bartender/Owner was super cool with us out-of-towners and the pricing was totally reasonable! Great night at The Cellar! For those other reviewers complaining about it being downstairs and a little dark - grow up - it's called *The Cellar* I'll bring the crew again when we're back in town, total blast. read more

Cool room but the bar tenders were rude.... Looked like it had been a busy night maybe, but we had just arrived and placed our first order. We waited for what felt like a long time... so we asked about our drinks, and she had Left our drinks on the other side of the bar and told us to come get them ourselves. We were maybe 10 feet away- just had moved to some newly emptied seats, still at the bar... was strange, unfriendly vibes for sure... turned our whole group off, so we left, and won't be back. read more

The best corn dog in the world is made here. Seriously, you can't miss it if you're in the area. Cellar is a great bar with awesome moscow mules and jello shots, if that's your thing. There are games in the back and it can get pretty crowded during peak season. read more

I follow other yelp reviews to this restaurant and found them to be spot on. I had the lamb sliders for dinner and did not regret a single bite. The pub environment is dark and very British. The service was personal and attentive. I would have no hesitation in recommending or returning to this restaurant for another try at the same thing or something different. read more

My wife and I were recently in Ketchum for a music event. We ate dinner here after the event. We really like the atmosphere and vibe. Our awesome server made this a 5 star experience. Nice selection of beers on tap. I was able to get an actual black and tan with Guinness and Harps, and it was well made. My wife had the fish and chips. The fish was very good, crispy outside and well cooked. Fries and coleslaw were very good. My wife typically doesn't eat a lot of coleslaw, but she finished hers. I had their hand dipped beef corndog with spicy Guinness mustard. It was delicious, as was the side of slaw I had with it. Our server was over the top great. Friendly and just the perfect amount of attentiveness. We really enjoyed chatting with her a bit. We won't hesitate to stop in here again. read more
