Description:
Yes it is true, you can indeed get a beer in Utah. In fact Utah has a surprising selection of mircrobrew pubs and bars with huge selections of microbrews, domestics, and imports.
For many years the words Salt Lake City and nightlife were an oxymoron but Utah’s liquor laws have relaxed over these last few years. Most of the recommended brewpubs are found within blocks of Main Street downtown Salt Lake City.
The Bayou and Beerhive rival each other with their huge selection of beers from around the world and Red Rock and Squatters brew some amazing, award-winning beers on site. Located close to the ski resorts, the Porcupine Pub is a great place to refuel with beer and tasty appetizers after a day playing in the canyons.

The food is great but the appetizers are fabulous and pair excellent with the Porcupine's long list of microbrews.
Description:
Located right at the bottom of Big Cottonwood Canyon (and directly on the way from Little Cottonwood Canyon to Salt Lake City), the Porcupine has a prime location in terms of catching and feeding hungry skiers. With an expansive, two-story dining room, it has plenty of room to seat everyone -- and a highly varied menu to please the diverse crowd that dines here. If you're feeling like beers and apps, take a plate of their *huge* nachos (half price during "appy hour", Mon-Fri after 2:30-5 pm) - or if you're feeling a bit more formal, try some of their high-end entrees like filet mignon. In between are burgers, salads, pasta dishes, and more. A place that truly is great for families with kids or ski buddies having a beer.

Squatters not only has an eclectic selection of award-winning microbrews but amazing pub food as well - a must-dine for first time visitors.
Description:
Located on the western end of downtown, this two-story brewpub has been a consistent Salt Lake Favorite for years. On the menu are its many staple and seasonal beers -both on tap (3.2% alcohol by weight) and full-strength in the bottle. The food offerings range from fish-and-chips to curry, steaks, to salads.
With table and bar seating both upstairs and down, this can be a place for a more "serious" dinner, or a quick snack and beer with friends. Located in a renovated brick structure, it has a classic, upscale brewpub feel. During the summer months, its outdoor patio opens, allowing for pleasant outdoor dining.

The food is fabulous for a brewpub but with a selection of 8 plus microbrews, the beer is the real reason to come here.
Description:
Located just on the west end of downtown, this restaurant is totally within walking distance of nearby attractions and hotels -but enjoys a reprieve from a bit of the central downtown parking hassle. A brewery-and-restaurant-in-one, Red Rock Brewing Co won America's Best Large Brewpub of the Year in the 2007 Great American Beer Festival. Food-wise, you can choose from sandwiches and burgers, pizza, pasta, or even heartier entrees. Upon request, you can also get a children's menu.
If making a trip up to Park City -more specifically, Kimball Junction, try that installment of Red Rock Brewing. Same food and beers; different location.

With 200+ beers on there menu and the best sweet potato fries in town, the Bayou is a must for any beer enthusiast.
Description:
With over 220 bottled beers and 30 plus draft beers, the Bayou lives up to its slogan as Beervana. Definitely the largest selection of beers in Salt Lake City, and more than you'd find most anywhere else for that matter. And if you're hungry, too -you can get a full dinner or just some Cajun-style finger food. You must start out with the sweet potato fries - they are absolutely amazing and go great with any style of beer. The Bayou can get crowded on weekend nights so get there early to claim your table and enjoy live jazz and blues and plenty of beer. The Bayou is a 21 or older establishment. Check online for the live music schedule.

Largest selection of beers in Salt Lake City with a great patio for people watching on Main Street.
Description:
The Beerhive Pub, having recently opened in 2009, is a welcome addition to Salt Lake City's downtown nightlife. The Beerhive has practically every beer imaginable with more than 100 microbrews and imports available in bottle as well as nearly every local beer on draft.
The pub, with its exposed brick, high ceilings, huge wood crafted bar, has an Old West, yet contemporary feel. A unique ice rail runs the entire length of the bar and ensures that your last sip of beer will be just as cold as your first taste.
Food is available from the Vienna Bistro, the Beerhive's next-door neighbor and serves homemade Austrian fare with such favorites as the Rahmschnitzel and the Hungarian Beef Goulash.
The Beerhive serves food from the Vienna Bistro every day for lunch and dinner (until 10pm Mon-Thur, 11pm Fri-Sat, and until 9pm on Sunday), but the pub stays open until bar time.
