The editorial take
The Brickyard Bar pairs a sports-bar setting with a surprisingly deep beverage lineup. The draft list leans on Utah craft standouts like Squatters Juicy IPA and Uinta Cutthroat Pale, while the spirits shelf reaches from Glenlivet to Blanton's. Cocktails such as the Jalapeno Margarita and Brickyard Fashion give the bar a clear identity beyond game-day pints.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Jalapeno Margarita, built on Casamigos Blanco with fresh jalapenos for heat, or go straight to the Brickyard Fashion, a Woodford Double Oaked bourbon old fashioned with orange bitters and an Amarena cherry. For beer drinkers, the Squatters Juicy IPA is a solid Utah craft choice from the draft list.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Sports fans wanting a full bar with over 30 HD TVs and all premium sports packages, plus a broad beer and spirits selection that goes beyond standard stadium pours. The dog-friendly patio may appeal to those bringing pets, though service on the patio has drawn mixed guest comments.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Voted SLC's Best Sports Bar three years running, The Brickyard Bar pairs its sports-bar setup with a drink menu that includes a dedicated cocktails section, an extensive local Utah draft beer list, and a spirits list featuring premium bottles like Macallan 18 and Blanton's.
