Last night, me and several of my coworkers participated in an event where we packed 1 million meals over 2 days to fight hunger for kids in Utah. It was hard work and we were excited that we met our goal. So 9 of us went together to celebrate. Since this was part of Silicon Slopes Tech Summit, we had been at the Salt Palace and Patrick's was a convenient place to go. Because of the hours of hard work and since we were going straight from the service project, one of my coworkers had her water bottle with her when he scanned her ID. I had my work bag with an unopened redbull in it. I'd had a couple in my bag to help get through the long day of packing meals. When we got to the table, she set her water bottle down and I pulled out my redbull to drink because I don't drink alcohol. My other coworkers walked back over to the bar to order drinks because the bartender made it very clear that they don't do table service. I took one sip of my redbull and the bartender came charging over yelling at us. He grabbed the water bottle saying we couldn't have it in the bar and he grabbed my redbull and rudely told me I couldn't have it in there. I said, "I'll take it outside and he angrily looked at me and said nope and threw it in the trash. We just wanted to sit and relax from all our hard work. I don't know if there was a sign that said "no outside drinks." If so, I'm sorry I didn't see it. If there's a law against it, I don't know about it. With Patrick's Pub being so close to a huge convention center during a massive convention and the Sundance film festival in town, I think the polite and prudent thing to do would be to assume that not everyone is going to know all the laws or rules for Utah, Salt Lake City, and Patrick's Pub. The bartender could have simply walked up and said, "I'm sorry but we don't allow outside food or drinks." To which I would have said, "I'm sorry. I'll go drink it outside." He also could have taken note that we were all wearing volunteer service shirts and we looked like we'd been working hard and assumed that the water bottle was simply a water bottle. He could have politely walked up and said, "I'm sorry, I should have told you when I scanned your ID that your water bottle isn't allowed. I need to set it behind the bar and you can retrieve it when you leave." How hard is it to be polite? We weren't loud. We weren't bothering other patrons. All but 2 of the 9 people were ordering drinks and planned to order many more, so we weren't just freeloading. I left immediately with those that hadn't ordered drinks. Those that had, finished their drinks quickly and followed a few minutes later. We went to Bourbon House a couple blocks away and they took very good care of us. When we left after 3 hours and spending hundreds of dollars, they thanked us for hanging out with them and wished us a good night.

My husband and I have been to this bar a total of 2 times. We go to events a few doors up, so it was rather convenient to find a chill place to grab a few drinks before. The first time was great, the bartender was upbeat & an overall great experience. The second time however, we were treated rather poorly. Maybe the bartender having a rough day, who knows. This time, the bartender made snarky comments regarding our age. (We are in our early 20’s) and got pretty rude & irritated about us asking which drinks they had available, which was nothing out of the ordinary. Regardless of his attitude towards us & they way it made us feel, we did leave him a tip. We returned a few weeks later only to find out we have been banned from this bar. Unsure why. Kinda sucks, but what can ya do? We were quiet and polite. Just be aware that you might get banned from this bar if you ask for a specific drink..such a bummer.

I visited Patrick's on a Friday night after a Jazz preseason game. While I enjoyed the "modern gentleman" vibe put forward by the wall art, this isn't the bar I have in mind when ordering a 007-level cocktail. Most everyone was drinking beer, and to be honest, it was not busy for a weekend night. Myself and two friends walked right in and sat down at a table where we spoke at normal volume the whole time. The trade off for that smooth conversation, however, was a less lively atmosphere and a patronage skewed heavily male. There are some pinball machines in the back (which some young folks were chastised for manhandling during my visit) and televisions at both ends of the bar to enjoy the night's sports. Overall, this was a clean and surprisingly quiet spot, and I enjoyed my first visit. That said, were I looking to socialize beyond the people I brought with me, I'd probably head elsewhere.

I Wish I could give a zero star.. don't go to this pub unless you are his friend. I am referring to "bryce" Yes his name is Lower case for a reason... he thinks he is an owner but he rhymes with owner only with a B. I have spent countless money there day in and day out. I simply called and asked for a recommendation on a rickshaw to get to his place to give him money to buy drinks. When I arrived he harassed me for it. I walked right out. People get punched in this bar, people that work for him, and he does nothing to help or pursue charges for his very own employees. This place will not last long do not waste your time visiting. No wonder Sam quit, no wonder Rachel left.. you are pathetic. You will most likely be shut down because you can't keep up with your neighbors. Guess what… You did it to yourself Bryce. Good luck. MY ONLY ADVICE... STAY AWAY FROM THIS PUB!

Avoid at all costs. Not because of the drinks, the service, or the atmosphere, or the crowd— all of which have my compliments, in fact— but because of the profoundly badly behaved ID checker at this place. I swear this guy was drunk. This guy (an employee!) would straight up randomly walk up to tables and interrupt peoples’ conversations, openly insulted bar patrons, wouldn’t stop talking and would go on with these back-to-back fifteen minute long anecdotes, ignored the front door and left people waiting to enter, and even heckled women outside the bar. This guy caused our entire party immense discomfort. Again, avoid at all costs, specifically because of this guy.

Edit- Bar owner's friend tracked me down and started harassing me for my review. Edit caused date to change. Back in February 2017... We had an impromptu wake after hearing a dear friend passed away the day before. We had over 40 people show up over the course of a few hours, all of us just wanting to share our love and support each other in this difficult time. Everyone was ready to stay and hangout and spend a ton of $ on drinks..Unfortunately , Bryce (bartender) was a total jerk. The way he handled himself sneering and yelling- basically throwing a tantrum the entire time. There are better ways of handling a rowdy situation without chasing away business.

what to say about Patrick's bar. i told bryce I need a beer and with the speed of the "flash" I was given a beer not the right beer but a beer. I was so happy with this bar that it had no one in here I had room to breath. the music choice was changing and always go with the beat of the night. I liked this bar so much I can back the following day. Rachel only had one smoke and she gave me her last smoke which showed me they care about the guest. I say everyone should come to this bar. it will finally bring salt lake city to the next century of bar grounds. p.s. Guinness makes draught in a can. have bryce show you

As I read some of these LAME reviews it blows my mind. This bar is one of my favorite bars to go to. I met Bryce from coming in and he is such a genuine guy that I am so glad to know. Every single person who works there treats customers like they are friends. It is such a great atmosphere and I would ignore all these stupid petty reviews. I will never not go to this bar. TRUST ME WHEN I SAY....THIS IS A BAR YOU NEED TO GO TO. Sweet staff, sweet prices, and a sweet atmosphere.

This review is not for the establishment, but rather for the extremely rude bartender who works Saturday night and has zero sense of humor. He was incredibly unfriendly from the second we walked in the door and after a few minutes of interaction, decided that we were going to be too difficult and refused to serve us. So, we took our money over to Poplar Street where we had a lovely time with the very welcoming and incredibly friendly staff there.

This review is for the extremely rude bartender serving on Saturday night. I asked for water and he told me that if I wanted water I came to the wrong place, and then ignored me the rest of the time i was there. He then decided to kick our whole group out of the bar because another person asked for a few drinks and some waters. Since we all wanted water, he believed we had been drinking too much and told us he wouldn’t serve us.

A buddy and I were looking for a chill bar to have a drink and watch the NCAA games. We saw Patrick's pub and decided to check it out. The bar tender was cool, I didn't have anything specific in mind that I wanted so I told him to make me anything with vodka in it. He made a cucumber collins and I really liked it. I liked the atmosphere there also and would recommend checking it out. I'll definitely be back.

Great little bar. Pleasant and professional staff that doesnt let the amateurs, snobs, or self important get away with ruining the night for the rest of us. Low key and relaxed, and the pinball machines are an amazing consolation for getting rid of the dart board. I don't drink but enjoy the atmosphere and the owner has gone out of his way to offer more than the typical crappy O'douls.

Best pub downtown. Period. Bartenders, service, ambience, they KILL IT! !!!! Even the bathrooms are upkept, especially considering they're single stall. However seemingly simple dive it is, the owner and 2 other bartenders I've encountered know craft cocktails. So you can gain some knowledge without the pretentiousness which is hard to come by in the heart of salt lake.

Killed my buzz. Walking around downtown SLC, have never been here on foot, stopped at Patrick’s for a 3 dollar beer and the bartender asked for my ID, fair enough, then he took it to the register and shot the strip with a scanner. I only wanted a beer not an investigation. He just did it for three more customers. Do not drink here. I won’t, gestapo

Great people, both the crowd and the bartenders. It's actually a deceptively large place, once you get inside! Note there is not really a good food option, although the entry way is shared with a Thai food place. Side note-what is it with all the bars here having Asian food options next door?! Haha anyways, it's a good place to meet new friends.

I absolutely love this bar. If you enjoy having a good time this is the place to go! The staff is energetic, interesting attentive and inclusive. The energy here is super welcoming and friendly. This is the kind of place you'll probably end up making friends. Would rate Patrick's a 10/10! And the door guy on the weekends is super hot. ;)

Patrick's is a great neighborhood bar. It's a place for friends to just chill and enjoy a beverage with each other and have a good time. The owner and staff have great pride in the business and keep it inviting to any person who will return the same amount of respect for it as they have. Cheers to Patrick's Pub.

Even walking in not knowing anyone in this pub, I felt overly welcomed. Staff was courteous and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere. Bartender Raymond even put on my football game with the sound! The owner came in and introduced himself to me and welcomed me in. If I could rate this place any higher I would!

The bartender was so helpful and social, I felt very welcomed. (thank you Sam) This Pub was designed and looks amazing! Definitely a place to grab drinks with a date or your girlfriends, but then again it's perfect to just relax and watch a Real soccer game. Energy in this place is worth it in itself.

Place was dead when we visited. The bartender was to notch - very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the place to ourselves for about an hour, so that was great. I'll definitely stop here next time I'm in town.

The owner of Patricks is super rad. All of the bar staff here are also excellent. Next to my favorite coffee spot downtown and also next door to J. Wong's. On Saturday and Sunday nights after 10pm the best taco truck is half a block east of Patricks as well, cool spot.

Great place to grab a drink right across the street from the convention center. The guy tending bar when I came over for lunch was great at hiding a conversation, recommending good local beer and talking about the town. I would swing back here again for sure.

First time in SLC, Patrick's offers attentive & FRIENDLY customer service, along with a chill, inviting atmosphere. Wine, liquor & beer selection was great too. Bryce was the only bartender out of the bars we visited that made us feel welcome. Make the stop!

A great little bar, TV's, pinball, outside patio. Service is quick, and friendly. Plus the prices are great. So many bars downtown overcharge. Great for all types of groups. I've gone with my husband, with my girlfriends, and bigger groups. Very laid back.

Great staff, super relaxed environment to have a quiet drink in, fair prices and awesome selection. This bar is a really nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. J. Wong's is right next door so you don't even have to leave to get good hot food.

Great place and really great bar tenders. Great drink specials.. $4 Jameson Shots!! Good beer prices. A must visit Bar for tourist and locals alike. Fyi you can order good Chinese food next door and have it sent to the bar.

Bartender working on 3/20 was a huge ****. After insulting us, he turned to an older couple who had placed a pile of $1 bills on the bar and said "what am I your accountant?" to which they replied "that's your tip".

My very favorite pub in SLC. Good ambiance without being overwhelmed with millenials and bad music. Great place to drink and relax......also excellent choice for after hour business meetings and negotiations.

I have visited this bar the last two years. It is close to the salt lake city convention center and has indoor and outdoor seating. I will be there again next year when in town. I recommend checking it out.

This is a fantastic place!! The staff/owners are amazing, the atmosphere is chill, the drinks are made well, the music pleases every genre and the pricing is out of this world cheap!! A definite must!!

Popped in for A beer while in town for a convention. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Place was nice and the lively but not overcrowded. Beer selection was good. I would totally stop again

Went there on Saint Patricks day at 8pm… no Irish music .. no audible music really and out of Guinness… how do you screw that up.. the one slam dunk of the year and you can’t deliver. What a joke

The bartender is so rude. I don’t drink much, and he kicked me out just because I only had 3 beers and he told me that he won’t serve me ever again. I was expecting much more about this place.

Never ever when i was in the States i had to show my passport to order a beer and even worse had to have my passport photo copied. This place definitely did not wanted to earn a buck on me.

Love this place, Bryce is the bomb. Great drink deals and fun people. The best spot to go in Salt Lake City! The only thing I can say is that they one here back in New Orleans. …

Some of the best draft beers in town. Excellent selection. Fast and courteous service. Just remember you have to be seated to order (covid rules), whether at the bar or at the tables.

My new hangout! This place has such a nice atmosphere and bartenders who really know their stuff! I've been about four times with consistently great service and can't wait to go back.

Bryce is my favorite and has suggested/made the best drinks for me 100% of the time. They also carry beer I haven't seen in other bars, so I really enjoy coming in to see what's new.

Easy in and out, popped by for a couple beers and to watch some baseball. Bartender was friendly and attentive

Not the most authentic Irish pub I've been to. Local hangout that has it's regulars. Drinks were acceptable, but the atmosphere was not as friendly to those who appeared touristy.

Environment was good. Nice and quaint. The bar tender was less than impressive. 4 stars for being exactly what we were looking for that evening. Not too loud. Not too busy.

Good selection of beers on tap and even more so bottles and cans, good prices, excellent service. A historic building environment that you don't experience in modern pubs.

Penny is so awesome! The drinks are affordable, the atmosphere is awesome, you have outdoor seating available—if you are in the area, this is a great place to hang out!!

The gentleman behind the bar with the snazzy caps is a valued business advisor. Where else can you get an alcoholic fizzy drink on tap and sound financial planning?

Terrible experience. Myself and several other people waited a long time for service and when the bartender took one of the customers orders he was extremely rude.

Best prices I've found downtown and the service is amazing. Owner Bryce is a great guy who values quality patrons and offers quality service to keep them around!

Tried to come for a few quiet drinks with food, only to be told I need to produce my passport (non US citizen) despite being just short of 50yrs old. …

One of my favorite places to go in Salt lake. The bartenders are always friendly and the bar is very well kept. Also happy to see they have Pub Beer!

Really nice spit with very friendly staff. Definitely stop in!

This is one of my favorite bars. It's got the perfect atmosphere for really enjoying watching a game with some friends. The patio is awesome too.

Bryce pours a solid drink. Hit this place up! It's a nice and chill environment to talk with your friends and the bartenders are on top of it.

Nice place, only came in for a drink on Friday night said at the bar got a drink right away. Music was on bartender was friendly. Nice place.

Great place!!!! It's a dive bar and not a dive bar at the same time. Bartender was attentive and proactive. Great people and conversation.

Clean but cozy atmosphere, inexpensive, and great bartenders. We ended up coming here several times on our short trip. Would recommend.

One of my favorite neighborhood spots for a drink, attentive bartenders who know their stuff and usually awesome tunes on the Jukebox.

One of the best bars in SLC! Great drinks and killer prices! It's a cozy little bar that I highly recommend trying if you haven't yet

Went on a Sunday mid day, not many people there and they were all locals to the area. Had fun talking with them and had a few beers

Patrick’s is AMAZING!!! Best service in SL. Great music, great selection, and the only bar in SL i know of serving Jameson Black.

Familiar atmosphere, dive vibe but good drink selection. Definitely in the vein of Murphy's, Junior's, The Republican and Cheers

Beware this place. A Vodka soda will run you $20. Far better places you can go with better drinks and more reasonable prices.

The place is okay the only thing that I did not like is that the bartender refuse to make me an Irish car bomb in a Irish bar

A nice local bar away from crowds. Great service, with a good beer selection. Nice shaded patio. Good downtown location

One of the best bars in Salt Lake. Always easy to get a good, cheap drink. Non-gendered bathrooms and always clean!

Definitely stop in here for a couple. Topher is a very friendly and attentive. Music is great. No food though.

Good prices, good spot. Shelly left her purse, bartender jogged half a block, winded, gave it back. Great job

Local dive bar, good beers on tap and decent prices - especially for the liter Stein. Bartender was awesome.

The little angry dude behind the bar was alright. The Irish car bombs were the best. 10/10 would recommend

Its a small bar, that hosts a 30s+ crowd,when i went it was pretty packed so it was tough to walk through

It's always a good time here! Reasonably priced drinks, experienced bar tenders and a comfortable vibe.

Offically my go to pub mainly for their $4 Jameson shots!! Good environment and awesome bar tenders

I am not one to hang in bars but this place was excellent and would definitely go back. …

I had a better time once, slamming my hand in a car door.

Great local bar to unwind and relax. Bartenders are local and know what's going on in the city.

Super chill place to hang out and have a few drinks. Enjoyable atmosphere and great service.

Cold drinks, good prices, great staff, amazing atmosphere! Bruce is an incredible bartender.

Super dark, bar only type pub. Nice spot next to convention center. Some outdoor seating.

Great place. Staff was awesome. Drink prices are great. Great crowd for people watching.

Overly watery drinks, rude service

Great prices in customer service and a good variety of beer. And out-of-the-way bar.

Good folk, good beer for a good price! Great bar to hit for the night of drinking.

Nice little pub, good selection of beer and spirits. Really nice chatty barmaid.

Bartenders are nice. It's a small bar with a few pinball machines. Very relaxed!

Always friendly bartenders and clientele. Great spot for some beer and pinball.

Live this bar. Friendly. Easy to get a drink and wonderful staff. Very cool.

Very grouchy bartender and no room for a group of friends to relax together.

Awesome spot to go to! Great owner and employees. Always a good time there!

Great selection, reasonably priced with a really knowledgeable bartender.

Never been there but going to check it out because Jerry won't be there.

Rude bartender Left and went to a different bar where the staff was nice

Came in at opening an it was a great pub cheap drinks an great service.

Cool staff, chill atmosphere and more importantly Great priced drinks!

Awesome. Some of the best bartenders and environment in Salt Lake City

Better prices for drinks than other bars we visited the same evening.

Best neighborhood bar I’ve been to. I’m just happy Jerry isn’t here.

The best local bar. No frill, quality service, better company ♡♡♡♤♤♤

Cozy space, pinball, cheap drinks, friendly bartenders, awesome bar.

Bryce is awesome and this has become my new go to pub in Salt Lake.

Catch the game, grab a beer; play some pinball. You can do it all.

Great spot! Not too crowded, and the old fashion I had was great.

Great bar in the heart of the city, just watch out for Jerry
