Great spot in Sandpoint for some delicious Indian food ( with a American twist.). Cheesy naan is a fabulous snack and the samosas have a great spicy taste. Outside seating is plentiful, though only in an old parking lot and not much atmosphere. Nice umbrellas make for a shady spot to have a beer and snack. The Gose is the best in Sandpoint. The Stout and light lager were both good brews too. read more

Dog friendly outdoor seating - for and drinks were great. Perfect on a late summer night.

A gem in sandpoint! We stumbled across this incredible place after the wait at hydras steakhouse was 1hour and I am so glad we did. The food was such a pleasant surprise bursting with flavors I thought we could only find in India. The beer is also a delicious compliment to the meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves flavor packed food and incredible laid back ambiance. The people working her are so kind! read more

Utara Brewing Co - Curry sampler with samosas - Brewpubs Near Me - Sandpoint, Idaho

We loved Utara so much we stopped there several times during our stay in Sandpoint! Tasted many of their beers and our favorites were the Cannabis Terpene IPA as well as the Maiden Rock IPA. The food was great, we loved the curry sampler platter the best. The Chips Vindaloo and Cheesy Naan were also great. read more

Probably one of best summer pubs, and the best locally brewed beer in my opinion. I gave them four stars because the food is overpriced for what you get. read more

Best Indian food I've had in a while!!! I would recommend this spot for a casual get-together for some good drinks and great food. If your vegan there are a few tasty options such as korma and saag. read more

While MickDuffs has the finest interior with their new location in the historic Post Office, Utara in my opinion has some of the best beer in the Panhandle (along with Post Falls Brewery). Their Echo Bay Double IPA is fantastic. Atlas will fix you up with whatever preference you have however. Also Utara has the coolest growlers around; glass Palla growlers with wire swing tops! read more

This place was a great discovery. I had the curry sampler, which was quite flavorful. Especially liked the cauliflower naan. It went well with a pleasantly hoppy Mineral Pt. Hazy. read more

Utara is an awesome place. There beer and food were wonderful. They take concerns about Covid seriously, while others in town haven't. They were happy, knowledgeable, and excited to have us. The facility is clean and modern. They hustled around cleaning bathrooms and wiping stuff down in there masks. Kristin (spelling?) was the best! She listened to what we liked and then surprised us with naan pizzas that got each of us. They were delicious and reasonable priced. The mineral ridge ipa is delicious. It's hazy with a touch of citrus. Mmm mmm mm Oh, ask Kristin about here jewelry!!! She made it herself. My wife loved it. read more

It's just me, I don't care for Indian food. It's a brewery but he didn't care for his beer. In the warm weather sitting outside would be nice but I'd need food I liked to nibble on... read more

Really liked this place! Review is for food only as we didn't eat there. Beers were solid 5/5 - service was excellent 5/5 - I didn't love the grapefruit seltzer but that's also not my go to I'd give that a 3/5? They had a bowl of water for my dog which was much appreciated and generally really liked the vibe. read more

My Amber ale was sooo good and the Indian food totally works. We had the fries and were surprised by the large portion. I would definitely eat here again and again. read more

My goodness this is such an amazing spot! They have awesome beers - try the mineral point (New England ipa)! We were also lucky enough to try their weekly Monday specials (blood orange czech beer). And their food is out of this world - the best tikka masala I've had since living with Indian roommates. So do yourself a favor and order the curry sampler with the Samosas. You won't be disappointed! read more

Beer wasn't bad. I grew some grey hairs waiting in line though. Probably understaffed thanks to our 2019-20...friend COVID, so I can't dog them for it. But the food menu was lacking. read more

This is everything I want in a "Pub!" The food is fantastic! I love that they are going with an exotic theme and they are stepping into the curry world with gusto! But, what really gets me excited about Utara is two-fold: 1) The beer. Simply outstanding! It is brewed in small batches and the selection is ever-rotating. This is definitely a labor of love, and it shows! 2) The atmosphere. It's cozy and warm, where I can be alone or join in with others, it's a fantastic combination of home and the neighborhood 3rd place! Utara is a gem, and I'm so happy I found it! read more

Wonderful selection of beers. Really great staff who offered samples of beers. Cool vibe. Curry restaurant attached to the back which you can order from. Loved this spot. read more

Utara Brewing Co - Bar area - Brewpubs Near Me - Sandpoint, Idaho

The cannabis IPA and gluten free Naan bread pizza are to die for. I can't wait to wait to try all of the options on their menu.

My hubby and I have been here many times. We love the Indian appetizers. The samosas are quite good and they used to make these amazing French fries but with an Indian touch. I love going there with friends to enjoy the beer samples. I don't even drink beer but it's fun to compare notes. Others rave about the beer quality. What's nice is the bar usually has a couple varieties of wine which is my choice. In the summer out in the parking lot there is a flower truck (separate business) that will make you a custom bouquet of the prettiest fresh flowers in a mason jar. I love Utara Brewing Co. read more

Utara is by far the best brewhouse in town. First, it has great beer! I love love love their porter, it's heavenly. Second--get the saag paneer and add Serrano peppers! And get the pickle plate! Both are so good. Third, it's cozy and inviting, with a no-bs/no-corporate aesthetic. It's the real thing. read more

Decent beer, but not a fan of their Indian exclusive menu for bar food. When my wife and I go to town to have a beer and some bar food, we like a variety of bar food, rather than eating the prescribed Indian chow. They, like most bars, must depend on the demographic make up of the venue. I don't dislike curries or Indian food, but I certainly don't expect a business to force the variety of ONE on my beer munchies. Granted, today was our first visit, but by the looks of things, they certainly weren't packed. They should reconsider an "inclusive" bar food menu if they want to thrive. If and when they expand their menu, we will return. read more

Cute place. Ok selection of beer. We came for food, but left without eating.

Checked out Utara this past weekend while my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary. Great vibe, FANTASTIC beer and super friendly staff! Their Mineral Point might be the best Hazy IPA I have ever had - certainly the best in the PNW. We ordered the Samosas and were VERY impressed! Good Indian is hard to find (IMO) and they nail it! We will definitely be back to visit. read more

This is by far my favorite brewery in town. The beer is always tasty, with a large variety that will fit everyone's taste. Their small plates of Indian food are delicious and affordable. I had the Samosas, garlic naan, and the double IPA last week and couldn't have been happier. read more

Good food. TAKES WAY TOO LONG. It's slow in here and I've been waiting for about 40 minutes for 1 meal.... There's clearly enough people in the kitchen. Idk speed up or something because it's not worth the waste of time. read more

If you happen to be traveling through Sandpoint, and you want good beer, excellent food, great relaxed, safe atmosphere, this is a MUST stop. Friendly staff, outdoor seating, and something pleasantly different for Sandpoint. read more

Had 3 different beers today. Great flavor. Utara is doing an excellent job of helping reduce the risk of exposure to COVID. Employee Kristen was extremely personable & made the experience a 5 star visit! Cheers!! read more

Fabulous beer. We were a little hesitant that the menu is just a bunch of curry related items but it was magical. They proved us wrong that curry works at a brewery. Nice work! read more

We visited Sandpoint on our way to Glacier yesterday, and found this wonderful place! The highlight for me was the amazing Indian food. I had the Raita Roll on cauliflower naan - soooo healthy and yummy! Lots of flavor-filled vegetarian and vegan options. Charming outdoor space with warm lighting and fresh air. read more

This place is one of my favorites in town. Everything I've had off the food menu has been great (I get the samosas at least once a week), and the Mineral Point IPA is a go to every time. Thanks Dave and Christina for creating such a welcoming and yummy spot! read more

I took the family on vacation to Sandpoint and found this local gem. I'm telling everyone that they need to pay a visit if they're in general vicinity of Sandpoint. Excellent Indian food as appetizers to mix in with top notch beer brewed in-house. What's not to love?? Highly recommend the cheesy naan. Kid friendly. read more

See all

Not a very large selection of beer and the food menu left something to be desired. The building is awesome and provides a great atmosphere. Prices were reasonable. The menu was difficult to read and made it hard to see what all was available. read more

This place is Great!!! Good beer and great Indian food for the demographic that they are catering to. Will definitely be back for more Tapas and beer after a long day of boarding! read more

Best beer in town and a wonderful friendly staff. They usually have created a new beer every week. The Mineral Point IPA is sooooo good. The food is on point too. They make the tika just the right level of spicy. Basically I tell everyone I meet that they should check out Utara. read more
