50 Best Bars near Midvale

“One of my favorite bars. Nothing but nice people and a quiet place to have a few drinks and enjoy nice pool tables with good cues. Not to mention it’s the only bar I’ve ever been to that has hand chalk. . I’ve had stuff stolen and ripped off and been threatened at just about every other bar I’ve been to. But not cheers midvale. Oh and free hotdogs on game night too

“The Brickyard Bar: A Dive into Delicious Chaos

When you step into The Brickyard Bar, prepare to leave your calorie counter at the door and embrace unapologetic indulgence. This Utah gem doesn't just serve food; it serves a vibe, a reminder that dining out is meant to be fun, casual, and just a little messy.

Appetizer Parade: The chips and salsa arrived first—a classic combo that felt like shaking hands with an old friend. Crisp, golden chips met a tangy salsa that leaned more "hello, I'm here to party" than "I'm your everyday mild." It set the tone for what was to come: jalapeño poppers. These little fried nuggets of joy were crunchy, cheesy, and perfectly paired with a side of creamy ranch dressing. Pro tip: they may look innocent, but they pack a kick, so proceed with caution—or courage.

The Main Event: The pizza was the final act, and boy, did it deliver. A slice topped with olives, mushrooms, onions, and various meats walked the line between gourmet and comfort food. It was the kind of pizza that didn’t try too hard yet succeeded in being utterly satisfying. Each bite was a medley of smoky bacon, savory pepperoni, and that hint of black olive tang. Forget about symmetry or dainty toppings—this slice was bold and proud.

Atmosphere: The Brickyard Bar feels like that effortlessly cool friend who knows the best dive spots and never takes life too seriously. With its laid-back vibe and a menu that screams “go big or go home,” it’s perfect for casual gatherings, game nights, or just a break from your daily grind.

Final Thoughts: The Brickyard Bar isn’t trying to be your five-star white-tablecloth establishment, and that’s its charm. It’s the place where you can kick back, enjoy great company, and devour comfort food that doesn’t apologize for being deliciously over the top. Whether you're here for the salsa, the poppers, or a pizza that makes no promises of leftovers, one thing's certain—you'll leave with a full stomach and a happy heart.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

“So good, I adore everything about this place.“

“Best dang booch in all of Utah!“

“It's a damned fine bar.

Vegetarian options: They have a separate vegetarian menu.

Parking: You can park in the HoHo Gormet lot ONLY when the restaurant is closed. But this is a neighborhood bar! Walk on over!

Kid-friendliness: This is a bar. 21+ with valid ID required.“

“Authentic Chinese skewers! Great place for parties and friends' reunion. They have a karaoke room which we occupied for my birthday party. We had awesome drinks (alcohol or non-alcohol), had a great feast, and really had fun singing karaoke. The service is super attentive, meeting all of our customized needs, big shootouts to Amanda, our waitress!“

“I tried this place due to the very high reviews and they delivered! Food & drinks were great, server was very quick and attentive, and the vibes were really good. Plenty of entertainment and music but not annoyingly loud. Would definitely come back with friends.“

“The Ranch is to DIE for!!!“

“This place is 10/10! The food is incredible. The menu is simple but elevated. The prices are reasonable. The service is attentive and timely. Okkk now let’s get to the good stuff - what should you order?
If you order nothing but the ube pancakes, you could be happy for the rest of the day. These pancakes are fluffy and the passionfruit cream between them is to dieeee for. I’d personally come back just for the pancakes!!!
We also ordered the Vegan Bahn Mi, a side of bok choy and avocado toast with a side of potatoes. Everything was seriously incredible - flavour profiles were well balanced. While there was a slightly spicy sauce on the eggs, it was more tangy than spicy and paired perfectly with the eggs. The Vietnamese coffee was made perfectly - not too sweet and had a hint of bitterness from the coffee so you know it’s the goood stuff.

I don’t drink so while I can’t vouch for the alcoholic drinks, I did see a lot of people order them as well!

The ambiance and decor are also awesome.

Parking: there are lots of 2h parking spots for free around the corner and across the street as well. I went on a Sunday so it didn’t seem like the 2h rule was super enforced but take this advice on your own discretion! I am sure weekdays are more strict.

Vegetarian options: Veggies and vegan options available“

“Spence is awesome. We were only in SLC for a visit, but became one of our favorite place. Highly recommend, will definitely come back!“

“The new menu at Elixir is fantastic! Makes a great apres ski destination for a drink and a great meal. Highly recommended.“

“Love this place and the people who work here! They are conscientious, pleasant and friendly... They take great care of you and your stuff. Large and abundant TV's surround the walls and there's free shuffleboard, pool and darts...You can have a great, fun time here!!“

“Barbary Coast is THE spot for brunch! 🥂 The $3 drinks are unbeatable, and the peach and blueberry French toast is to die for—sweet, fresh, and perfectly cooked. But the real stars? Rachelle and Bam behind the bar! Cynthia and Javier in the kitchen make the best food! They bring the best energy and make every visit unforgettable. Great food, amazing drinks, and top-notch service. Can't wait to come back“

“Great service and staff..“

“Everything! Food, Atmosphere, service! It has it all!“

“Spitz catered our business team's holiday party. It was perfect. My staff all loved it. There were options for every dietary need and it was well priced for the food your received. I really appreciated the service. We'll definitely use Spitz again for our catering needs.“

“Great cocktail spot! We checked Water Witch out on a vacation to SLC. LOVED the Great British Baking Show themed cocktails on the menu that night. They had very well balanced and creative cocktails. Bar is very small and crowded (its a popular spot for a reason), so finding a non Saturday night to visit would be advised.“

“I wanted a drink in my neighborhood and went to piper down Also the handlebar and was turned away at12:30 PM. I walked over to Mannys. and I was treated with the best hospitals and was served a drink before last call. Thanks for making me fill welcome even though It was close to closing time. Very unique and diverse.“

“Amazing atmosphere and theming, fabulous drinks, and they did a fabulous job accommodating my many food allergies. We'll definitely be back!

Dietary restrictions: They had very tasty gluten free buns for the burgers and a yummy vegan cheese (I have a dairy allergy) that was very tasty on the Smokehouse burger.“

“I've been coming here for about a decade. Been to most strip clubs in UT. The local vibe here is something I haven't found anywhere else. It's a pool hall with a beautiful variety of dancers. No cover anytime and cheap beer. Best bar in town imo“

“Great staff, always joking around and making the night/day better. Best food in a bar that I have tried so far. Been going since opening day and will continue! You won't find cooler bartenders that DONT DISCRIMINATE!! Not afraid to stand up for what's right if it's needed as well.“

“Salt Lake's most unique dining experience by far! If you are looking for an exclusive, chef driven 9 course dinner then Chef Vishal has you covered. Each course is a fresh take on classic, traditional South Indian food specifically from the Goa region. Each course wows your senses with lots of wonderful color, presentation and of course flavors. Highly recommended if you're looking for something new!“

“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!“

“This place is unapologetically a bar. They have a surprisingly wide selection of whisky and whiskey. A friendly, welcoming crowd and bar tenders that know what they're doing.

Kid-friendliness: This is a bar in Utah. No one under 21-years-old allowed. Everyone gets id'd.“

“loved the food, service and decor“

“My wife and I love going there to bowl, get a few drinks amd eat the amazing tater tots. I don't know what they do to them, but they are so good. We always go to the bar side, and always request Raven. One time we didn't and got someone else, and it wasn't the same. Raven is amazing and she is always attentive to our needs. She just doesn't grab your order and bring stuff. We have fun conversations with her, and just has a great personality. The bowling is great, but I can't say much about throwing balls into wood. Unfortunately my wife is having surgery this week, so it will be a minute till we can come back. But we can't wait to make it part of our weekend routine again.“

“The food was delicious and our server Jolayne was fast and made sure we were well taken care of our entire time in the restaurant! Thank you for the amazing service and food we will definitely be back!!!!“

“Great place. Beers are cheap and staff are friendly. You'll see us there on Wednesdays for Trivia night.“

“I love this place for the great food and drinks! So very affordable and we had great service although she was very busy with a large reunion. Everyone did their best to accommodate our requests. I can’t wait to go back for their SP French fries!“

“Went in for a burger and a beer with some tots. It was all very tasty and very easy going. This is a terrific place to stop on and go incognito.

Vegetarian options: You can always go veggie with a pizza, and they offer a beyond burger patty for most of the sandwiches.“

“The staff is excellent and the food is great. Love the outdoor patio!“

“Was quick and a robot gave us our food and it was very cool! Our waitress was super nice and the food was amazing! I got the combo two and everything was delicious! We also got fried ice cream and it tasted amazing. Definitely recommend coming here!“

“This is a fine old establishment it's been here for a while resembles a log cabin kind of inside probably belongs in a nice mountain town but it's right here in Good Old West valley. The bartender corley was a very nice and attentive girl that got good food and the burritos are awesome especially I recommend it to anyone just wanted to have a nice time.“

“Came on the promise of good karaoke and good location. It's definitely a dive bar, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Drinks were pretty good for the price. The seating is really limited inside and out on a busy Saturday night, pool tables take up much of the indoor real estate. There seemed to be a lot of regulars there for karaoke, which made it hard to break into the rotation. But all in all it was a pleasant experience. I'd go again and get there earlier for karaoke.“

“We love dining at Leedos. It’s our favorite “go to” restaurant!“

“Cruzrs is such an amazing place. the staff is great. Kellie runs a fun show for sure. Oh and the Food is sooo yummy! We were there for poker last night (every Friday @7) followed by Karaoke. It was a blast. We will be returning often!“

“Cozy and I must say that Jumper the bartender is welcoming to women that are solo which is comforting. They didn’t have my kind of tequila but she did recommend a great alternative. If you are a smoker you can not bring your drink outside but the bartender will kindly tend to your drink while you step out. I definitely recommend stopping by “The Spot” when you are in the heart of the city ❤️“

“they're awesome. the bartenders are great. the people that hang here are great.“

“Had a wonderful Sip and Paint there. The staff is awesome!“

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“Excellent lunch nd wine Needs expresso coffee“

“They were friendly and nice.I“

“Finding this place was a surprisie to me as someone who has lived most of my life in Salt Lake. I had never heard of it before. It is a hidden gem.

The atmosphere is upper-class rustic. Very nice. The staff is attentive, and the food was excellent. The prices are reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber.

My only complaint is that if you are in a large group and they are busy, then they may not get the timing right in bringing out your dinner. I ordered the goat cheese salad, and it did not come out until my friends were halfway through with their steaks. This is why I gave them four stars instead of five.

Vegetarian options: Goat cheese salad was really good.

Parking: They are tucked away behind some other businesses.“

“Great coffee shop! The cups and mugs are aesthetically pleasing. Lots of seating variety. Loved that they have kids options for food and drinks kids can have. They also have decaf coffee. Food was delicious, I got the egg sandwich on croissant. Very busy on Saturday, hard to find a place to sit.

Kid-friendliness: Great food options for kids. Some board games. It’s a great place for a small family breakfast or date day with your kids.“

“The space is pretty cool with indoor and outdoor seating options. Everything is clean and well taken care of. The food options are okay, I remember Burmese, ramen, pizza, southern food, sandwiches, sushi, Korean fried chicken, and a cookie shop. We got food from the Korean spot Bok Bok. We were happy with our choices. There is music on Fridays, and vibe was pretty chill. Some couches on the sides as well as long tables for big groups. There is no bar in the food hall but a few places sell beer.“

“I thought this place was fantastic, the bartender Brill was fast and accommodating. Emily, the KJ is awesome
She'll ask you what key you want to sing in and they have a huge selection of music. The atmosphere, I love the setup of this place, it feels like your great neighbor Lounge, plus I have sports on the TVs, a huge fireplace, and best of all lots of really great people“
