    Everything about this bar screams amazing. Amazing staff, food, entertainment and great vibes! Karaoke is the best and I love coming here when I want to have a great time!! Again the staff is amazing and they always take very good care of everyone!

    These two very good pool hustlers took over our table.

    We all live 20-30 minutes south of SLC and had been playing APA pool league every Wednesday. It's after work Thursday and we came here to play pool. As soon as I parked and saw the front, with the fire pits all lined up looking cool, I had high hopes for this place. As I entered, there was a big 6'8" guy greeting and checking IDs. Everything is right there. From left to right, 10 electric dart games... packed! Tables and 4 tops, bar... packed... 4 pool tables... one empty table for our crew. Not the best tables... A server named Chase was on it! Took drink orders for us 4 and delivered with food menus. I ordered pizza. They only have 16 inch pizza.I was going to order the halibut fish and chips but learned the fish is frozen. The pizza took a bit of time but they were more concerned about it than I was. I had a stein of Pacifico draft and playing pool with my friends, all was good. When it did arrive, it wasn't good and the top was burned; " why'd you give them a 4!?!?!" Because when I left, at midnight, the placed was still packed and the karaoke was non-stop love flowing. All levels of ability had the same level of passion and the crowd gave love to all the singers. The place was "live"! I talked to all kinds of strangers and found a couple new friends. A good time had by all... and on a Thursday?!?! So what about the food, I was entertained.

    Midway Wings

    75¢ wings on Wednesdays? Say Less. The habanero mango flavor was amazing. They're also HUGE wings. 10/10. The only thing I didn't love was my Bloody Mary. I love bloody Mary's and have been searching for a good one. The blonde bartender (don't remember her name) was great. She said we didn't have to pay for the Bloody Mary which I definitely appreciated. This bar is also huge. Pool, pinball, darts, so much to do. I'll be coming more, despite my not so good Bloody Mary lol.

    This is my first visit to the Midway. The place feels like most bars I have been in. Once they turned the lighting up it was much easier to see the decor. Pool tables and lots of dart boards, it was clean and comfortable with your choice of high tables, low tables, and bar seating. The service was incredibly slow, and the staff apologized for the delay. The customer at the table next to mine just walked out due to the wait. How would they ever handle a capacity crowd? What really struck me as odd was the demand that I surrender my card before I ordered or anything was served to me if I was not paying cash. They asked if I wanted the tab to stay open and I said no. I was just there for a burger and some water. I waited a very long time but the card was never returned to me. All I could think of was they were in the back shopping at my expense. I finally had to ask where it was. Again, they disappeared into the back and after a while it was finally returned. This really spoiled the experience for me. I have not even been served yet, and already I know I will not be back. After an hour of waiting I was served what was supposed to be the Steak Burger with bacon added. There was no bacon, no sauce of any kind. Just a dry bun with a cold burger patty. I didn't even have a napkin or silverware. When I asked about the missing bacon the staff member looked at the ticket and said it was not supposed to have it. She offered to go try to find some, but at that point I picked up my stuff and left. This was one of the longest waits for such pitiful food I have ever experienced. Go at your own risk. Hopefully you have a better experience than I had.

    Came for an event and had a blast! The owners family is super friendly, just the smell of the food alone is amazing! Perfect stop for darts. They also have a golf simulator which was so cool!! I didn't realize they did brunch, we will totally be back to try it out.

    Wednesday special chicken wings, onion rings and loaded fries!

    Cool place.Great service and great atmosphere. Very nice selection of Beer and Mules. Food menu has something for everyone, and there's a couple of pool tables, digital darts and Karaoke for the musically brave Great place for adult entertainment!

    Bloody Mary with tequila made by Tiffany. Mmmm

    The Midway is more like a neighborhood bar with sports on TV than a sports bar. Lots of dartboards and karaoke almost every night. Highlights of the food for me are the taco, fat ass wings(bourbon sriracha), and most daily specials. This Bloody Mary is bomb today as well.

    We wanted to try this place because we saw it on Bar Rescue. My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon after a martial arts seminar we attended, so we were pretty hungry (especially me). It didn't feel like the staff was all that attentive to us, and it wasn't particularly packed that day. It took quite awhile to even be greeted and for our orders to be taken. The inside decor was fun, like seen on tv, but the food was okay. Although our chips and salsa took forever to come out, the kitchen staff did make salsa fresh for us.

    Absolutely LOVE this place! The food is great, the employees are VERY nice, and surprisingly, the karaoke was even REALLY good last night! We had Jelly as our server who ROCKED and the boneless wings and Cobb salad were bomb. Check it out, especially if you like karaoke!

I knew from the parking lot this place was a winner. Once inside, it had a welcoming atmosphere and people inside were all having a good time. This brewery features Lager Beers crafted using traditional Bavarian/European methods...thus I had to try one...two...maybe more. Luckily there was a ton of delicious looking food on the menu from the expected pizzas and wings to the old world treats like beef stroganoff, goulash and schnitzal. Everything is made from scratch and I couldn't help looking at all the neighboring tables to get an idea of what to try. Our waitress Ashley was really helpful and checked if the pesto was made with nuts as we have peanut and tree nut allergies in our family. Luckily there were no pine nuts or other substitutes and we could safely have it! We ended up getting quite a feast of plates and then topped it off with two desserts- the bread pudding and the German chocolate cake (couldn't come to a family agreement so had to get both!). Thanks Bohemian Brewery for the excellent time!

We had the pork shank and the chicken schnitzel. The pork shank came with spatzle and red cabbage-excellent dish. The chicken schnitzel was pretty good. It had a fresh taste to it and even a little lemon-y, which didn't make the fried cutlet taste too rich. It came with mashed potatoes, gravy and veggies. The veggies were your basic steamed veggies, but the dish was overall good. Service was great-server was attentive and the manager came around as well to check on us. I think it would be fun to come here for Oktoberfest, since the inside has a good ambiance.

Unfortunately, our waitress, Carol (older lady with blond curly hair) , was very rude and made us feel uncomfortable. When I asked my friends if they wanted another shot, Carol interrupted and asked, "Who's driving?" We ubered. We had also eaten and were not acting drunk, loud, or causing any problems. It wasn't the question that bothered us--it was the way she asked it and how she spoke to us afterward. Her tone was condescending and made us feel like she thought we were irresponsible and didn't know our own limits. We are all well over 21 and were simply enjoying food and drinks. After snarkily saying, "Let's think about that first.." she walked away and never came back to our table. Angie ended up helping us and checking us out and telling us our waitresses name. Angie was kind, professional, and even apologized for our experience even though none of it was her fault. The rude service from Carol completely ruined what was otherwise a nice night out. We have NEVER been treated this way before at other places. Because of how we were treated, I will not be returning.

Our server was funny, personable, and attentive, especially when it came to drinks and refills. Things started going downhill when I received my entree, the Poor Man's Truffle. Unfortunately, the only way this dish lived up to its name was in how little the supposedly high-quality ingredients seemed to come through. The dish itself is fairly simple, which normally isn't a bad thing when the ingredients are meant to speak for themselves. With Belper Knolle, truffle oil, pistachio pesto, tomato, fennel, and arugula, I expected something flavorful and well balanced. Instead, the entire dish tasted incredibly mild. Belper Knolle is typically a bold, salty, peppery cheese, and I could visibly see the black pepper around the edges of the thin shavings, but the flavor barely registered. I also couldn't taste the truffle oil at all. There was visible oil pooling at the bottom of the plate, but no noticeable truffle flavor. I understand pistachio pesto tends to be more subtle than a traditional basil pesto, but altogether, this dish just fell completely flat for me. The presentation didn't help either. It looked more like something that had been scooped from a pan and dropped onto the plate than a thoughtfully plated entree. When a dish misses both on flavor and presentation, that's when it becomes a real disappointment for me. I will say the gnocchi itself was cooked well, which was one of the few positives. I also tried the burger, and it was significantly better than my pasta. However, the very small sprinkle of bacon was a little baffling considering it was an additional upcharge. Where the night really went downhill was at the end of the meal. I had been excited to try the beignets because that isn't a dessert I see on menus very often. Our entree plates were cleared, and then we waited about 20 minutes before our server returned and asked whether we were ready for the check. Dessert wasn't mentioned, and by that point our table was tired of waiting, so we decided to skip it and asked for our checks. Then our server disappeared for another 30 minutes. We eventually had to flag down a hostess who was seating another table and let her know that we were still waiting for the check. About five minutes later, our server finally returned and casually explained how "crazy" the night had gotten because of the show. I understand restaurants get busy, but the apology felt very dismissive after we had waited nearly an hour from finishing our entrees to finally receiving the check. It genuinely felt like our table had simply been forgotten. I also want to add that I tend to hold restaurants like this to a higher standard. I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for." If I'm eating at a fast-food spot or somewhere inexpensive and casual, there's only so much room to complain. But when a restaurant has prices like this, highlights premium ingredients on the menu, and presents itself as a more elevated dining experience, I think that naturally opens the food and service up to more criticism. At that price point, I expect the quality, presentation, and overall experience to reflect what I'm paying for. My final takeaway is that maybe I ordered the wrong dish. Pesto is one of my favorite things, so I almost always want to give a pesto-based dish a try. Unfortunately, Prohibition's pesto gnocchi was not it for me. I also saw that they describe themselves as a scratch kitchen using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, which I don't necessarily doubt. What confused me was how so many ingredients that should have distinct flavors somehow tasted like almost nothing. If your goal is interesting drinks and a fun show, this is probably still a place worth considering. Since we sat outside, I can't speak on the show part, but it seems to be a big hit. Food-wise, though, it missed the mark for me.

I also saw a pitcher of green beer go to another table so you know its that time of the year. The place doesn't have mushrooms so my quesadilla was stuffed with green peppers and onions. I prefer mushrooms but seems a lot of places don't carry mushroom anymore. Overall, an underwhelming experience. I wouldn't go out of the way to come here but if back in town and staying at same hotel, I might come back. Prices are pretty cheap, so can't complain that much.
