Bohemian Brewery and Grill

The beer here is fine. This is really more restaurant with competent lagers brewed in-house than brewery. The food is awesome. Spaetzle? Excellent. Red cabbage? Just the right amount of tender + vinegar. Schweinensaxxen? I want to go back.

Large brewpub just outside SLC. More of a restaurant, saw lots of families and groups. It’s a large area with upstairs seating as well. European/German themed. Almost all the beers are German styles and they’re pretty good. There were 8-10 on tap. I tried the German pale ale and a Czech-style bock, both were good. The food menu also leans heavily towards European dishes, although it has regular American fare too. Some examples are chicken paprikash, pierogies, bratwurst, schnitzel, spaetzle. But they also have pizza and sandwiches. I got the blackberry brandy chicken with mashed potatoes and it was good. This is more of a place to get a meal and enjoy a beer with it, especially if you’re interested in German style beers/food.

Visited in early December 2016. Came here twice, ate one of those times. Kinda like a ski lodge inside, with the bar tucked away in the back. More personable staff than at the Red Rocks brewpubs, which again points more towards mismanagement at those places than anything else. The sad thing about Bohemian is the inconsistency of the beer quality. Had a nice draft sample (and full pour) of the Czech pils on the first visit, then a terrible can and a medicore draft sample several days later. And every other beer was poor-to-mediocre. So it’s hard to review a place like that. You might get lucky and find one of the beers in good shape, but from my visit the chances are much better that you won’t. I probably would not revisit if I find myself in SLC again, unless I’ve heard they’ve gotten the kinks worked out.

Exposed wood lodge-like interior with tables arranged kind of awkwardly so that you have to dance between people’s tables in order to reach the bar in the back. On tap they pour their 4% German and Czech styles: Pils, Vienna, Dunkel, Weizen, Schwarzbock (that’s right, they call their 4% black beer a "bock"). Cans are available for takeaway, in 12-packs for standard beer, and singles for seasonals (Alt, Export). They won’t sell anything else as a single, or even 6-packs instead of 12-packs, which seems like a lazy business decision. Alas, I found singles at the Whole Foods a few miles east of here. As for the beer, the three I tried were clean and interesting, the Pils impressing me the most.

Second, and last, stop of the evening. What a pleasant surprise after the cookie cutter experience of Hoppers! this place has style. A ton of Czech influence in the menu and beer selection. About 8 beers on tap plus two cans while I was there. All German/Czech styled other than a random California Common for some reason. Samples were $1 each, served in these cool tiny tall mugs. Beer quality was in general quite good, ranging to excellent, other than, as Borken says, the Cherny Bock was a let down. Service was great and helpful. I would definitely hang out here were it closer to home.

After a great hike up in Cottonwood Canyon to Lake Blanche, we stopped in here for lunch and some beers. Highly recommend the hike, by the way.

German feel all the way. A nice little patio outside with some hop bines growing. Inside feels very...alpine. There are a number of tables to sit at and a smallish bar area in the back. They have a "tavern license" in one part of the bar area, which basically for us meant more samplers at a time, so we sat there. Oh...Utah.

Beers are all German styles and the food is largely homestyle German fare as well. So, a lot of potatoes and pork products. The food is quite good and large portions are offered. The beers were also quite nice as well. I liked their lagers for the most part, though the schwarzbier/dark bock was buttery. But for the most part the beers were good.

Really friendly service here and very quick as well. I’d highly recommend this place even though it’s a bit out of the way from Downtown.

Took the tour 10$ included nice pint glass was able to enjoy about 3 pints during tour. Good way to spend an evening. Didn’t eat there, menu was a bit pricey starts at a15$.

I was in town visiting my son. He lives close to the brewery, and it’s one of his favorite places in the area to eat. Our server was great, and was patient with my beer questions (Utah’s got some really screwy laws). I really enjoyed my food, and the beer was solid. Not the best I’ve ever had, but given Utah’s 4% ABV restriction, I’m not going to criticize too much. It’s got to be challenging to produce good tasting beer when you also have to keep the beer at or under 4%. I absolutely loved the hop "garden" they’ve got planted outside.

Visited here while on vacation in August ’14. Has a hunting lodge feel to it - reminds me a bit of the old Buckhead Brewery back in Tallahassee. Has about eight or so of their lagers on tap (all 4% ABV) and some higher ABV cans and bottles are available for take out. I bought two cans - had to purchase at the "tavern" portion of the brewpub and had to exit out a side door....only really weird Utah law I encountered on my visit to the state. The food was pretty solid, had a brat sandwich - nice and hearty. Beers on tap are true to style and flavorful enough. Friendly down-home staff. Worth a stop if cruising through on I-15.

Located just a few blocks closer to the freeway than Hoppers where we were greeted by a very food and restaurant knowledgeable manager (owner perhaps?) who was terrific. He knows his German beer too inside and out. He informed me of where the German beer ingredients are coming from for several of the German style house brews on tap. He went into detail about their fresh ingredients that go into all of their food that was indeed fresh and yummy. I look forward to coming back.
