Great location in Trolley Square. The place was not busy on an early weekday afternoon. Service was very fast and friendly. Beers were good, food was great. Great prices on food and brews. Will visit again.

visited 7/22/10. kinda cool upstairs local in an industrial building in a historic neighborhood. nine house beers available (one was a kristalweiss!!!! very cool). great service even though the place was packed at lunch. didn’t eat but the food looks and smells a lot better than typical fare... as does the entire menu

Located in a cool building, really enjoyed the food (higher class than average brew pub) and one of the few places in Utah to get "real ale".

Great location. The historic Trolley Square is really cool. The actual pub seems a bit empty... not as in customers but as in ambiance. Nothing on the wall. The bar was empty of bottles or anything. I peered through the window at the brewery outside and it was filthy. Really old and dirty. Made me think twice about what the beers were like. <gulp> I did try a bunch of the beers and the only one I found drinkable was the Later Days Stout. The rest tasted a bit like soap. The food was typical pub fare. Your average soups and sandwiches. Nothing special. This place has a lot of potential.

Nice open atmosphere, good service. I’ve been in here several times during the week and it is always fairly empty, weekends maybe different. They have 8 beers on tap, one nitro and one cask. The food is decent, prices are on the high side for lunch.

I took the beer class there and had a good time, but honestly, the beer there tastes like all the rest of the beer in Utah -no better, no worse.. Can’t put my finger on it, but there is a general, basic flavor to Utah beer.. kind of as if malt was being used to mask something, like say, the lack of alchohol? People talk about 3.2 ABV just being a number, but honestly most micros in utah are far below that figure as if they mistakenly go over 3.2, the fines levied will wipe them out. That said, the food in the "beer school" was amazing. The guy who ran it was allready drunk when it started, (but whatever, we all were when the night ended), The amber were good, but the wheat beer tasted liked coors with hops. the stout was quite bitter, good if you are into that sort of thing. I’ll stick to homebrewing and bottles, but if you’re ever out christmas shopping in the mall and want to lose the wife for a couple pints, this is the place to go.

Well, I finally got on over to this place. It’s a nice little place with a few TVs and music playing. My server was a cute lady which knew something about the beers they had. I had the Mushroom burger on a wheat bun with some potatoe chips and a green salad. The food was pretty good, but a little bit on the pricey side. This was a Saturday afternoon, so the crowd tended to be older. The atmosphere was nice. The service was great as well. I would definitely go back for seconds. I’m writing a review of the beers I had as well.

Desert Edge is kind of unique. They have food that tends towards lighter and healthier. Well, I guess that’s the unique part. Unfortunately, I think the beer has dropped in quality. About a year ago, I loved it. A lot of the offerings were interesting, or at least solid. The last couple of times I’ve gone there this wasn’t the case. In particular it tastes like the beer was made with old hops, giving it this grassy flavor. It’s unfortunate because I really like the place (especially the hot roast beef sandwich!)

This place is tucked away into a small rustic looking shopping and dining plaza. I’ve been told the food is excellent. Very organic and healthy fare. I’ll have to try some next time I’m able to stop by. They had about six house offerings on tap including one nitro and one cask option. More proof the SLC’s craft brew scene is blooming with places like Red Rock, Bayou and Squatters all just a couple minute drive from here.
