19 Best Pubs near Cottonwood Heights

“Fun, good, crazy crowd for reggae night. The 75 Lavender was sooo good, and the spicy heat margarita?? Dangerous. Couldn’t taste the alcohol… but hey, that’s Utah for ya.
Get there early for parking, free entry, and first dibs on the pool tables. Such a vibe. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Caters to the biking trail community. Fabulous location, environment, customer service. All around excellent place to visit. We will be back!
Their lemonade with fresh squeezed lime and dehydrated specialty lime slices in a fishbowl, was the PERFECT refreshing drink on a long bike ride in the heat.“

“Glad they are open for dine in. Good food. Enjoyed the melon gazpacho. Sad to see so many customers not wearing face coverings while waiting to be seated.“

“This is hands-down my favorite restaurant in the state. You can taste the care they put into every dish, especially knowing they cook with beef tallow instead of seed oils—it makes the food feel cleaner, richer, and genuinely satisfying without that heavy, greasy aftertaste. Their mozzarella sticks are unreal, easily the best I’ve ever had: perfectly crisp on the outside, stretchy and flavorful on the inside. Also don't miss out on the balls of fire! The seasonal menu is another standout—creative, fresh, and thoughtfully put together, it keeps me excited to come back and try what’s new. Honestly, I haven’t had a single thing here that I didn’t love.

The location is super convenient and right off the freeway! I regularly drive an hour from home to eat here.“

“Awesome place great food, wonderful people.“

“Awesome brews and friendly fun atmosphere. A great place to hang out w friends and family.“

“Had the ironhorse calzone. Pretty sure This was the best calzone I’ve ever had! No joke!! 💪“

“The Ranch is to DIE for!!!“

“Being someone that doesn't drink, i still enjoyed being here. I just got a coke and a grilled cheese on a bingo night. Taylor (i think) was our waitress, total sweetheart running her butt off. The grilled cheese was delicious and the coke was good. Of course being on state street its a bit sketchy of an area and having to park on the next block over wasn't ideal as it's pretty dimly lit. Although that doesn't affect the bar itself, it does make the inside of the bar feel like a safe haven from all that sketch outside. I highly suggest just getting a ride share or taxi here as bringing your own vehicle isn't ideal either for parking reasons mainly.“

“I can’t vouch for much in Salt Lake City because it’s been without power or under construction, but Bewilder Brewing is easily 5/5. The absolute best fries and giant soft pretzels I have ever had, and I live in a heavily German city (Cincinnati). Cherry Mother Pucker by Bewilder also a solid 5/5 sour; great/ clean flavor! So good that we came back twice while in the area!!“

“Excellent service; knowledgeable staff; and fun environment.Jessica was our hostess, bartender, and server. She is a ray of sunshine in customer service and all of the above!Elizabeth is the brewer who came up with the "Frickin' Thursday" special brew...it was really wonderful!This tucked away place is a gem. They not only brew their beer, but the do their own spirits too. Very cool.“

“Love this spot! Utah’s Godfather! Everything we aspire to be and more. Most fun in Salt Lake, hands down! Great vibes, great music, great drinks, great games, and pinball! Definitely the best spot in town!“

“Great spot located just off the I-15. Smaller than others .. although there is a second floor and large outdoor seating area.
I was carded at the door .. which is annoying .. and that’s on the State of Utah.

Food is delicious. Try the Grand Slam .. definitely one of the best values in the Valley.“

“Desert Edge Brewery in Trolley Square is such a great spot. The staff is friendly and attentive.. they make you feel welcome right away and really take care of you throughout your meal. The food was delicious, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable.

The whole place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe that makes it easy to hang out and enjoy yourself! Definitely one of those restaurants you look forward to coming back to. Highly recommend.“

“This bar for 21+ is a legend of a local hangout with 4 pool tables, multiple draft beers, and a small outdoor area.
The bartenders are fun and make great cocktails.
There is no food made here, so they allow you to bring in outside food or even have food delivered to yourself here.
The bar has been refurbished with fresh paint and beautiful flooring, along with new felt and leveled tables as of May 2025.
There is music via AMI jukebox with the app or can use cash to play tunes.
It's a fun place to meet up with friends.

Wednesdays: Karaoke at 7:30“

“Always great service, yummy food and a good time! can't beat the staff here, they are ALL fantastic 😀“

“Great place! Great food! Great Energy!

Want to shout out, Sadie! (Manager) She’s amazing… Great communicator, Professional definitely knows her stuff! Let alone the fact that she’s charming! Thanks Sadie and mid city! Will definitely return!“

“This bar is pretty chill, got a jukebox and pool and darts and foosball and a few arcade games. Only ever had drinks. The people are always fun to talk to. Haven't played pool (always too crowded). Generally dimly lit which is pleasant late at night.“

“Brewvies is an absolute legend of SLC. I took a first date here and it's absolutely awesome to grab some drinks at the bar before going to watch a movie with some food. You won't find anything like it in Downtown. It's super unique and has a local vibe to it. They also got a patio you can go outside and sit with your drinks and be social which is a key factor in the bar and restaurant scene let alone full on movie theater. I recently moved across the street and it's my only go to spot after work. They got arcade, pool tables and the staff plays really good play lists. Jesse, Tay and Cuz are super helpful and amazing staff who always make you feel welcome. Definitely one of a kind place!“
