How we score

The editorial take

Squatters Pub Brewery Downtown SLC anchors Utah's post-prohibition brewing history as the state's first two such breweries. The beer roster is the centerpiece: award-winning craft beers, with customers singling out a light, well-balanced stout and an excellent nitro cream limited offer. Beyond beer, the pub serves hand-crafted cocktails built on locally distilled spirits and a tempting wine selection. It's a beverage program with genuine local roots and a clear strength in its own brewed beer.
