A canceled flight to Austin forced us to stay in Arizona and it felt like I was meant to check out this brewery and try out a few of their beers! It was quite late in the evening, and they still had some decent happy hours running on their beer on a Friday night, which I thought was pretty amazing! Plenty of seating was available and they had multiple sports channels on, including airing the highlights of a Euro 2024 game which we had missed during our air travel. I tried the Stone Hazy IPA and their Deep Dive Series (A rice lager) - both were really good. For food, I got their Carver burger with an impossible patties ($20) and got this with Sweet Potato Tots as my side. The burger was pretty good too, and the tots were delicious. Their staff, our servers, and service were all excellent, and our food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering. Noise levels were on the average end.

Hidden gem on Broadway! My husband and I have been here quite a few times and every time has been awesome! Has a darker chill ambiance, similar to a pool hall. They have trivia night, and live music bringing a fun and dynamic environment to your dining experience. Servers are quick, attentive, and are knowledgeable about the menu. Now for the MOST important part... Their FOOD is absolutely delicious! Taco Tuesdays they have $3 tacos!! We had the shrimp & steak tacos, seasoned wonderfully, juicy, and very fulfilling with a side of chips and salsa. We also enjoy their burgers, boneless wings, and the Fish n Chips are one of our absolute favorites! Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved The Boulder on Broadway and Love Saltfire Taphouse in Salt Lake. We went to to launch of Saltfire Brewing Co Taphouse. The paring of the two seems perfect!! Same staff, same great menu and a great place to host my hiking group. We got the burger and I had a Punk As F@#$. Beer (YES that is is name) 9% is how it's earned it's name and it did not disappoint. Will be going more often!

You definitely come here for the vibes! I would call the energy here "friendly geek/nerd/intellectual". Don't believe me? Look at all the fun themed nights locals get to partake in that other Yelpers have called out in their reviews! They have a digital ordering system that is actually a pleasure to use. They have a massive tap selection that seemed to be focused on stouts, so all y'all complaining that all breweries only have IPAs these days (you're not wrong), this one is for you! Only reason it's not 5-star is the pizza. As someone else pointed out, it's the kind of stuff you could make at your house. Luckily, it is at least priced pretty cheaply.

I came for the monthly Science on Tap, which was awesome! I didn't anticipate the crowd but managed to grab a seat. It then took me a full 20 minutes to figure out ordering, which is done via QR code. It required me to download an app, which was taking forever until I signed on to their wifi - which required my email so I assume I'm now on some mailing list. I selected a few items then managed to empty my cart and had to start over. A server did bring me water in the meantime, which was thoughtful. The app also had a $0 item to request your server come by, so it's not like you can't speak with someone. The beer list was decent but had a lot of grocery store brands, i.e. Sam Adams or even Deschutes Fresh Squeezed - love Deschutes but you can get that beer at most grocers or convenience stores. The menu is bar food but pretty extensive and included a number of specials. I was feeling the need for veggies and ordered an unusual Jerk Chicken salad that included pineapple, black beans, and pico. Points for having a creative salad! The chicken was a bit dry but not terrible. There was a lot of chicken compared to the other toppings but the app allows you to write comments so if I got it again, I'm sure I could ask for less chicken and more pico and black beans. It comes with "cheesy bread" which turns out to be a whole 10inch (ish) pizza crust with light cheese. It seemed a bit much but made me optimistic about their pizza being pretty decent. Ambiance is very neighborhood bar and the place is large. There's even an upstairs that looked pretty nice. The lighting was low but not overly so. It felt a bit impersonal to not interact with a server, but I was also attending a presentation so dropping off food or drinks was done quietly (but politely). As much as I struggled with the ordering through an app, it was very convenient for paying. You enter payment when you order, and close out when you're ready. I did find it a bit funny to get a service charge for paying with a card when it doesn't seem you can pay cash, but whatever. The neighborhood feel and hosting interesting events gets this bumped to a 4.

This is a neighborhood bar/restaurant. The staff is nice. The food options are good. They have a killer drink selection. I have tried the pizza and wasn't a fan. On this visit I ordered the wings and a gin n tonic. Both were good. I enjoy stopping in here for a bite when am in the area.
