Great food! Excellent beer! Fred, our waiter, was so knowledgeable in how the food is prepared, where it came from, what spices are used etc... he was so enthusiastic about the food and his job, it made being there and eating the delicious food, that much more of a great experience! The brats are the best I've ever had. The sauerkraut which they make, is like no sauerkraut I've ever had before, incredible!! I was with five friends and everyone ordered a different meal and everyone was pleased. The Bohemian is #1 on my list of restaurants to visit next time I am in Salt Lake City!

I have been here for a while & it was hard to decide what to get because everything looked good. I had the salmon fish & chips & it was awesome. I will definitely come back more often. The sign out front mentioned they did brunch, I am going to try that also.

Beer is great food is better. The garlic burger is one of the top three I've had in my life and is the best in Utah.

Wife and I went here for the first time on our weekly apps and drinks night. Decor is great and homey. Love the fireplace and log cabin feel. We were told the appetizers were half price. This is only on certain apps and I even asked my waiter if the apps were half price and he said they were. So only one out of the three apps we ordered were half price. Had I known that, we would have ordered dinner instead. Paid the same price. Please train your waitstaff properly. Crabcakes were meh. However, the tomato basil tapenade that came with it was outstanding. Wings were delicious with their home made bleau cheese sauce. Not very hot, but still good. And their signature garlic fries was well worth the price. I wanted to give 4 stars but the miss communication really made me kinda mad. I think another trip is in order to try some dinners.

I absolutely love Bohemian! German food and great microbrew beers - who could ask for more? I recommend trying the Pirogies & Bratwurst if you're looking for standard German fair, however the Bohemian Goulash is by far my favorite item on their menu.

4 stars on the food and 2 stars on the beer. The periogies and brats plate is fantastic and their sauerkraut is wonderful. Went with two friends and all of us couldn't get enough of this place, we even went back two nights later. At which time I had the meatloaf, which was also excellent. Service is good, nice environment, not too loud even though they have multiple tv's around the room. The beer is just okay. I mostly drink craft to microbrew beers, so I was interested in trying this place. All their beers are 4% abv, probably as required by some crazy Utah laws. Somehow, that really effects the flavor of the beer. I tried 3 beers, all were watery and a little flat tasting. I attribute that to the process they use to get all the beer to 4%. I'm used to 9%+ abv beer, so this was a big swing in the wrong direction. If your a beer geek, this is not your place. That said, the food alone is worth the trip and makes Hoppers food look like food court food.

Went here finally, after wanting to get there for a while.. i had the verona sandwich, which was delicious. my friend had something else which was even better, though both sandwiches were just a bit salty. service was fine, i liked the decor except for the stuffed deerheads, and they kept my water filled. only negative, a bit more pricey than i had in mind for lunch, but its ok for a splurge. i appreciated the nice touches in the parking lot, of all things. they planted grape vines in the chain link and put some nice trees in. Made me want to go in, and impressed me. i know, but i notice stuff like that. Don't know if I will return, a little $$$ for me, but maybe.

The brew is good but nothing spectacular, with all the microbreweries in Utah you really need to do something special to stand out. The food is delicous although over salty and over greasy sometimes. The cocktails are tres cher, but what do you expect? At least they are good and not watered down. Try the bohemian lemonade.The beers here always seem so heavy, if I drink one I can't really eat my food. This is a good place for a big group, a birthday or other large party for adults. It is nice and not divey at all. It's also a very safe bet for a first date or any other date really, out of towners you want to impress but not fight downtown parking, etc.

It was group dinner night. The only place large enough to hold a big group was Bohemian Brewery. This place is kind of like BJs, but had a log cabin theme with deer antlers and animal heads on the walls. What I ordered: 01. Midori sour ($5) - 3 stars The drink wasn't strong, but still tasty 02. Halibut Filet - ($22) - 3 stars It was surprisingly tasty. The fish had a cripsy parmesan crust and it was moist inside. I didn't really care for the side of mash potatoes or veggies... nothing memorable.

I don't know if the owner was there when we went but WOW this is a friendly place. Once we had been seated about 4 people checked in on us to see what we needed. Food was good, I didn't try the beer (went irish whiskey on the cold sunday) but I have heard it is phenomenal. Watched some football ate some comfort food!(the soup of the day was to die for) Definitely will be back.

Log cabin style building is certainly appropriate for such a wonderful skiing destination - Salt Lake City. Hops are plentiful around the bar as decoration and the aroma is noticeable. Food is simply marvelous. Excellent variety and quality are hard to find. IMO this is why this place has stayed in business unlike the previous 2 or 3 brewpubs that failed in this same building. 4-6 beers are brewed here, so the selection is average. But unfortunately the good points stop here. As a beer lover, this place disappoints in the area that matters most - the beer. The beers are uninspiring, especially the so-called Weizen. The bar tenders can't seem to consistently tell me what this beer is, a hefeweizen that is lagered? what? why is it so flavorless and watery? Other Utah breweries do just fine with the 3.2% law but this weizen is an exception. The Vienna lager lacks the malt and hoppy character that a vienna lager is supposed to have, and the pilsener is more of an American pils than a Czech pils (light, low flavor profile, etc.). So, for quality, I must give a low score for quality in beer - which is one of the more important criteria for reviewing a brewpub. Other incidentals are worth mentioning. The service is sometimes terrible, simply terrible. Oddly enough, the owner has hamsters and the bar often smells like cedar shavings from the hamster cage. I couldn't tolerate the smell so I said something and the bartender informed me it was the hamster cage. Hmmm. In a restaurant? They may have corrected this error since then, but I cannot go back. They have VERY conservative hours too. Don't be surprised if the door is locked before midnight, even on a Friday or Saturday. Want a beer at 9:45 pm on a Thursday night? Sorry, but they close at 10pm. So, for excellent food in Salt Lake City head over to the Bohemian. Just don't bother with the beer.

We had a living social coupon for a growler and 4 pints glasses that expired on Feb 14 so decided to check out the restaurant for dinner - yes, it was Valentine's Day! It had been a couple years since we had visited. I now know why we have not been back. We were seated upstairs - I normally don't prefer being seated upstairs (you're further away - service is normally not as good) but Porcupine does it well! The upstairs area was very drafty with vents blowing from every position. I had to wear my jacket through the entire dinner. It took a bit longer than it should to even be acknowledged - we ordered a beer and a taster. Long story short....the service was slow (even though she really did try and was very nice). The food was bland at best. We ordered nachos and the poached pear salad. The nachos and salsa had very little flavor and the salad has large (too large) chunks of brie, wilted and rusted romaine, bland blue cheese dressing (how does that happen?). We were trying to get out of there so to expedite things my husband went downstairs to order the growler and pint glasses (our coupon). The "bar tender" looked at the coupon and loudly remarked "OHHHHHHH, that is going to take a long time ---- you'll have to wait quite a while" - I wonder if she would have treated him that way if she knew we had just spent $60 in food upstairs. As a restaurant, if you decide to offer living social or groupon etc. coupons you should honor them with grace. NEVER WILL WE RETURN to this embarrassment of a "brewery"

First time at Bohemian but I think I will be going back. They have a decent beer selection and the different sizes allow you to sample a few before you commit to one or another. The only drawback I saw was they have a chocolate bock. I am a fan of stouts and bocks but when you try to do this stupid chocolate bocks or stouts or raspberry ales you just muck about with the flavor and end up with rubbish. The BLT on rye was tasty. The rye was not overpowering like a marble rye but a very subdued flavor instead which allowed the peppered bacon to take center stage with the aoli playing a strong supporting role. The garlic fries are crispy and good if a little on the mild flavored side. All in all a good place to go for lunch where the service is top notch and the food is filling.

We have been to Bohemian Brewery 2 times now. The first time was delightful, we got to sit outside on their lovely patio on a nice day. I had the garlic burger with a pint of Czech pilsener and it was a tasty and memorable meal. Our most recent trip to Bohemian we tried the potato pancakes for an appetizer. We had never had potato pancakes so I do not have anything to compare them to. They were just okay though, tasted like hashbrowns served with sour cream and apple sauce. I had a pint of Vienesse this time and enjoyed it. My entree was the chicken schnitzel and Trevor ordered the blackberry brandy chicken. . . His entree looked EXACTLY and tasted like mine, only his had some purple sauce on it. I'm not very impressed by two dishes being the exact same thing, but it still tasted pretty good and I did eat it all. I do wish there was more parking available here. Bohemian hasn't blown my skirt up yet but I will return again.

My first visit to Bohemian dates few years back and since then we went with my wife few more times. After relocating from Chicago, we were ready to go and have some great authentic Czech and German food in SLC again. Unfortunately that was not the case.Don't get me wrong, their pizza and sandwiches are great but it suppose to be Czech and German cuisine that everyone on Yelp praises that is falling way short of expectations. Brats are tasteless, chewy and I had better pierogy from freezer section in supermarket, not to mention that the whole combo of these two doesn't match well. Wife had a goulash which, I think is one of the better choices on their menu. but some great staples of Czech cuisine are missing, like very traditional bacon stuffed beef in cream veggie sauce called "Svickova", roasted duck with bread dumplings or roasted pork meat with potato dumplings and greens to name a few. And brats and very plain schnitzel representing Germany? Then there is the beer. I like the lager and Weisse but what the hell is Vienesse? I would love to say that Cherny bock is great too, but by definition of bock beer which is always higher in alcohol %, this just doesn't cut it. It's great money maker for the brewery due their ability to sell all of their beer in cans in any supermarket in Utah though. To gain some perspective to this somewhat negative review, I've spent 25 years living in Central Europe, our family comes from Austria, Czech Republic and Germany, I've ran catering business here and in Europe and know how real European beer taste like. It is like going to Olive Garden for great Italian food ( that is called a sarcasm ).

Ok, so I finally took the opportunity to walk myself, and my lagging ass (they made me leave the donkey out on the hitching post) into this place, as I've known of it's existence for about a year now. I have wanted to make time to try it since then, but due to the fact that I don't exactly live next door, I've had a little bit of a hard time, finding time to make it up to this so called Bohemian Brewery. I mean, you would think it is in Bohemia for some ungodly reason. Who knew! On with the review: So my brother came all the way from Phoenix, AZ, and made arrangements to get together with several friends that he had not seen in quite some time. I was included so I thought that there could not have been a better time to get myself up there and give this place a whirl! I was glad that I did, because once inside, I didn't have a care in the world other than having myself a good time. On with the review: So I get escorted... ok Stop! My wife was with me as well, so I must cut the strings about the escort... WE, kindly followed a nice young Bohemian Hostess, as she took us upstairs to a cozy sort of loft, kind of room, which wasn't really a room, other than it was a dining space, upstairs, which had a nice overlook of the dining area below. I'm guessing this space is normally used for larger groups, and business type meetings, and of course restaurant overflow. It was scantly decorated, and the coolest thing of all, was that there were a bunch of old, old, and older scooters lining the edges of the room. Vespa was the only brand I recognized, but boy were they cool. Some of these were things you may have seen perusing the countryside, of the Czech Republic back in the 60's and 70's. Fantastic! On with the review: First things first! Where's the Beer? I was a bit surprised to find out that they only served 4 different beers. My first thought was OMG, are you kidding me? Then my brother said they also carried a seasonal brew, which made it 5 beers on tap. Boy was I relieved, although it's a long way from having 99 beers on the wall like I had once imagined. Ok, wait, that's from an old childhood song that I often sang as , you guessed it, a child. Manifesting their "Brew Menu", the waiter explained a couple of the beer varieties to me, and the several different sizes of serving glasses in which they were delivered to your table. I elected to go with the "Manly" size! Manly, being because... Well, you know. I'm a man, what else!!! Geez! So I order up my beer, and a couple of minutes later, the waiter is backing up a crane, he had to bring in to deliver my beer. This thing was not manly at all! It was incredibly HUGE! I dropped to my knees, as it was set on the table in front of me, and all I was thinking was that I was receiving beer manna from heaven! Wow, I thought... If the beer inside of this big crevasse, is as good, as it is big, then the whole world can end outside the doors of this place, and I wouldn't care. News Flash!! -- Good news people... The world didn't end, and the better news was that the beer was damn good! So good, I drank two of the mighty "Manly" offerings. These things must have been 36 to 40 ounces each! WOW again! On with the review: So, the Space Shuttle missions are completed. Do you ever think we will go into spac... Oooops, sorry! The "Manly" beers are still effecting my thought processes! On with the review: On to the food. I don't remember anything about the food except it was really, really good. Can I get another "Manly" beer please? On with the review: To try and wrap this beer fest up, the food was really good! I had the Perogies and Brat's. Never had them before, but they were really quite good. Along with that, they served sauerkraut which was very good as well. A little different in taste than the sauerkraut you get in a bottle at your local supermarket, but very tasty, and not over powering in taste like some kraut varieties you may find. Brat's were very good as well however, I thought they could have been a little more flavorful! They were a little mild in taste than what I was expecting, but maybe that is the unique thing about this seemingly authentic like German/Czech style fare. They did leave a good taste in my mouth, unlike some other sausages I have experienced eating over the years. There was no after effect from the brat's either, which definitely was a plus for me. I did not have to make a pit stop at the Tums Factory at midnight, which BTW is directly fed into my medicine cabinet, via an underground air forced tubular supply line. OMG! On with the review: My wife had a similar dish, with Brat's, Mashed Potatoes and Sauerkraut. Her meal was just as satisfying! Say's she! You go girl! My brother and other guests were served up equally satisfying dishes from 1/2 pound burgers to salads. All looked very nice, presentation was impeccable with each, and good times ensued all throughout the evening! Thumbs Up! Way Up!

I loved the place. Honestly, I can't share my experience about food or beer because I was not hungry (as I read portions are too big, I prefered don't eat). I'm a traditional beer girl and I'm not too friendly with new surprising tastes because you never know if you will enjoy the beer or you will be drinking all the glass with that strange sensation of 'I should have the other one'. But I can say that I loved the menu, there were some traditional dishes based on mexican food, and some interesting and quite healthy new suggestions. I liked the music, the waitress, the pictures on the way to the restrooms and the vespa exposition upstairs. I loved it!!! I felt like been in a lodge and that feeling is always comfortable, nobody can say the opposite. It seems it was an animal slaughterhouse tiem ago... who knows... the fact is that I liked the place. It's a lil far, though, but once you are there with the right company, you forget distances. =)

Horrible service, I wish I could give 0 stars. The first time we saw our waitress was ten minutes after we were seated. Took another ten minutes to get two sodas and a beer. My husband ordered a burger and we waited 40 minutes for ketchup (which never arrived). During this time our waitress was attentive to the three tables around us. Finally asked the manager for boxes and the check, she brought us boxes but no apology for the lack of service and we still had to wait for our waitress to bring our check. What a huge waste of time and money. Save the trip and go to a different brewery.

I've been meaning to hit this place up for some time and had the chance last week. It wasn't very busy on a Friday afternoon which was good because we had a group of about 20. The wait staff seemed a bit slow, but that could be because there was only one of her and a lot of us and there were a couple other tables she was taking care of at first too. I really enjoyed the beer (Weiss) that I had for lunch. I liked it so much I had to have another. I just had a club sandwich with the garlic fries. The sandwich was okay. I was surprised to have a club with only ham, but I probably should have read the menu a bit better. The bacon on it was delicious. The garlic fries were tasty, but maybe just a touch less garlic. Overall it was really good and I'll be going back, if only for the beer.

i've been here many more times since this review. they've udpated their menu (thank you!). they still have the one waitress that is so dang rude..why does she always wait on meee?? gotta ask for someone else next time. i really like this place, though. it's a great one for most any occasion. great beer and something for everyone. you know what would be nice, though? can you NOT charge $3.50 for one lousy pierogie? ok, it's so not lousy...but seriously.. it's just dough and potatoes. DELICIOUS dough and potatoes but hey, i'll eat a box of mrs. T's for less than that and be happy! i would suggest an actual PIEROGIE entree sold at a fair cost..

I love the atmosphere at this place - fun, social, perfect for beer drinking. The pilsner is my litmus test and it passed. Very lovely and really great with my Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich Ever (from the $9 lunch menu). This sandwich was delicious on light rye bread, ooozing with cheese (swiss I think), killer heirloom tomatoes and a balsamic drizzle too! It was pretty large though and too much to finish... the garlic "pommes frites" were undeniable.

I can't believe that the average rating for this place is three and a half stars. I'll start out by saying that I don't drink, so I can't address the people who think the beer was bad, but I can sure talk about everything else. Around our table, we had the garlic fries to start, then brats & pirogies, Bohemian goulash, and schnitzel. I've had the same garlic fries before several other places, but that doesn't mean that they were bad at all. Quite to the contrary. They were straight-outta-the-fryer hot when they got to our table, and the aioli was excellent. The brats were a touch overcooked for my taste, but the flavor was just about perfect. The pirogies? Fugeddaboudit. Best I've had in the US. I ordered schnitzel out of nostalgia, and the fact that you really kind of have to try to do schnitzel wrong, and was very happy with the result. It should have been veal, but the pork was good. I had our server sub spaetzle for mashed potatoes; should have stuck with the spuds. The spaetzle weren't bad, but they were out of a box, and I was hoping for more. The Bohemian goulash was out of this world! I wished I had ordered that and an extra fork. The dumplings were perfect and the sweet paprika gravy was just this side of heaven. What I can't say enough about, though, was the service. I don't know if we got lucky, or they're all this good, or it was a particularly good night, or what, but this was some the best restaurant service I've had in years. Nothing was a problem, questions were answered quickly and accurately, we never had to ask for drinks, and we never got the "we work in a trendy, popular joint so we're doing you a favor" vibe that others have described. I went so far as to track down the GM and make sure that the excellent service was recognized. It didn't seem to be a surprise that we were impressed, so I think that's a good sign. Next time we're back in Salt Lake City, we'll be back for sure!

We had a big group so I can forgive the slow service. The restaurant itself is interesting aesthetically, but...rather boring food. Veggies were overcooked, and my breast of chicken was a bit fatty (ew). Beer was biggest disappointment--rather watered down.

Found this place on line and decided to give it a try, they brewed their own German style lagers and offered pretty authentic German food. About 6 miles outside dwntwn SLC so it's more in a suburban setting than an urban one. The interior had a log cabin feel with fireplace, hard floors and log panelling on the walls. Never been to Germany, but hey i bought it. Skied extra hard today, so i wanted something no frills and to the point satisfy my hunger type of place, and my past experiences with German food, seemed right on line. Skip the appetizers, and started with a litre of vienna style lager, bout a quart or so, then ordered my plate. Bohemian goulash (tender beef braised in a paprika sauce) was exactly what i was waiting for. Large chunks of beef, braised til fork tender, in a rich, slightly spicy sauce was hearty and d-lish! i subbed the bread dumplings for spaetzle (a german pasta-like dumpling) and that was good, as it was kind of pan fried with butter. My only "beef " with my meal is that that's all there was. Being a little more healthful these days, i wish that there were some type of vegetable to accompany the rich dish, whether steamed, roasted or even braised with the dish. It just seems to balance it a lot more, but from previous German food experiences in the past, i was not the least bit surprised. Service a bit spotty but well intentioned, and they have a nice selection of souvenir clothing to take home with your very full belly.

This is a special travel edition from my personal archives food blog... The Bohemian Brewery & grill is my new favorite place, period. Set about half way between the Davenport estate and downtown, this little slice of European heaven sits with both indoor and outdoor seating amidst a Bavarian style lodge. Upon entering, I could not help but spy on the tables of all the happy patrons, and instantly I could understand the reasons behind all the smiles. The dining room was large, flanked by a huge fireplace to help set the ambiance a little bit. The menu was a cross section of eastern Europe and I had my passport in hand, ready to explore the world. We started with the home made Pierogies,and roasted garlic with toast (I am not sure how European the garlic was, but it was delicious) For dinner I had the Hungarian Beef Goulash with Czechoslovakian bread dumplings and red cabbage. Now please indulge me as I take a minute to reflect on this amazing but simple dish. Large chunks of beef slow simmered in a deep, rich gravy-like sauce that just yearned for the dumplings to be dipped in. You could have left out all the meat as far as I was concerned, the sauce was that amazing. The dumplings were very soft a pillowy, kind of like an under-cooked loaf of french bread. The red cabbage was nice with some shots of caraway for flavor. All in all an amazing dish, so much so that I payed little attention to what the Davenports had going on, even though their entrees were just as amazing. A.J went with the Chicken Paprikash. and Carol, a nice Salmon dish which I did not get a picture of regrettably. Lucky for me, I had just enough room for a little taste of what is one of the best bread puddings I have ever tasted

As anyone, I am a sucker for a good sausage. Unfortunately, there are precious few (if only maybe 2 or 3) restaurants in Utah that serve German food. Seigfrieds is great, but it is in the heart of down town and thus a little more effort to get to. It is effort worth putting forth, but effort nonetheless. Fret not though! For you also have an option in the Bohemian Brewery. One of the obvious advantages they have over Seigs is their vast assortment of beers and brews. If you like sausages, and you like to drink a beer the size of small swimming pool, then this is the place for you. However, I wouldn't limit myself to just sausage, for they have many other tasty menu items to sample. Garlic Fries - Yes Meatloaf - Yes Roasted Garlic Cloves - YES Pork Shank - Yes There is a lot to say yes to here. They also offer indoor and outdoor seating, the only thing they are missing is the view. I wish I could take these guys and drop them squarely upon a mountain top....and maybe you would have to take a Gondola to get to it...and maybe there is one of those super jowly dogs with the barrel around its neck that greats you at the door....Yeah...Yeah...

It's rare to find a place that has good german food,.. It's rare for a Proud Texan to find a restaurant in Utah that he thinks would shine in Texas,.. It's extremely rare for me to go eat at the same restaurant multiple times in the same week,... The Bohemian rocks! I love the schnitzel,.. Pork schnitzel but I sub the mashed potatoes for the spaetzle. They have the best spaetzle I've ever had and the gravy they serve with the schnitzel is so good I have to request extra every time. I look forward to coming next week in hopes of trying their rouladen which is one of my favorite things which is also sad because it's hard to find a restaurant willing to put it on the menu. Anyway,.. Great place! Good food! I'm glad I finally tried it!

This place has been on my top list for some time now for lunch and dinner but this past Sunday I tried their brunch. They have brunch every Sunday and Monday until 3. The regular menu is also offered with the beer, wine, and brunch menus. I ordered the eggs florentine. This was quite tasty with fresh spinach perfectly poached eggs covered in a really good hollandaise sauce. It was served with country potatoes and fruit. Now I don't like melon of any kind but they looked fresh and yummy. I would totally order this again. My husband got the special that day which was a breakfast burger. I took and tasted fantastic with a fried egg on top. We also really wanted to try the french toast so we ordered a side of that. it came out crispy as the description promised and in the middle was a subtle blend of cream cheese and black berries. I also had a mimosa and boy did this make for the perfect brunch!
i love this place and find that it's always a pleasant experience when dining here. for my most recent visit here we were celebrating my dad's birthday. our server was kayla and she was the sweetest ever. seriously an exceptional server and i hope she's there again next time i go. my dad had a difficult time deciding which beer he wanted and she was so patient. she gave some recommendations and he ended up ordering some samples before deciding. she made sure our water glasses were always filled and as soon as one drink was finished would come back to see if there was anything else we wanted. she was also on top of things with food allergies and definitely cares about her customers. they do have a dedicated gluten free menu with quite a few choices. my mom got the salmon salad, i got the garlic burger gluten free, and my dad and thomas n. got the regular garlic burger. i didn't try my mom's food, but she really enjoyed her salad. my garlic burger was served on lettuce and cut into quarters with toothpicks to hold it together. i really liked that since it was easier to eat. it was so yummy - full of garlic flavor! plenty of cheese and perfectly cooked. the only thing i would change is that since i can't have garlic fries, they should offer an additional side instead of nothing (regular burgers come with garlic fries). maybe like a small side salad or something? everyone else really loved their food and we were all pretty happy with our choices. we ended up sitting at the bar afterwards since my dad wanted to watch the soccer game. we ordered a few more drinks and the bartender here was excellent also. overall an excellent place to have dinner and if you go ask for kayla!

Some hits and some misses. The staff were nice and helpful. The bread is soft and delicious! I ordered a Banana Split smoothie. I can taste the strawberries, pineapple, and vanilla ice cream, but i don't taste banana. My friend ordered a Orange Creamsicle smoothie but said it didn't taste like an orange creamsicle. For food, the menu looked amazing with great prices! I appreciate the authentic Bohemian menu items and beers. I ordered a 12oz can of the Alt. It tastes pretty smooth! I would like to try at least half of the menu! My first time here, I ordered a House Salad and Soup Of The Day (he said chicken dumpling but it was more like tortilla wedding soup or something). The soup was very spicy, on par with chili. The salad was very delicious! My friend ordered Crab Cakes and they looked delicious! He said they tasted great! The menu is definitely enticing. My friends ordered the brats, and they give two thumbs up! As for the rest of the menu, I will have to see if they are as tasty as they appear to be next time I'm here!

Really good food, friendly service, unique setting. I've driven past this place a number of times in the past, but I never thought much of it. I figured it was just your standard pub fare, and I hadn't ever heard much to commend the place. But I finally went here with my sister and brother-in-law on their recommendation, and I'm a little disappointed I didn't make it here before! First, walking in, it's clear that his is a different kind of place. There's definitely an old world feel to the place. We sat near the front fireplace, so I didn't get much of a chance to check out the whole place, but it is definitely an interesting and unique setting. Food: There are a ton of things on the menu I still want to try, but I made a nice dent on my first visit. Schweinshaxen - I went for the most unpronouncable dish on the menu, and it turned out to be great! This is a huge pork shank with the bone-in and is accompanied by cooked red cabbage and spatzle (or mashed potatoes). Side note: Spatzle is one of the more fun words to say that I've run across. The pork shank was great! It was nice and tender and came right off the bone. The sauce on it is tasty and is poured on in just the right amount--the plate isn't drowning in it, but there is enough to get on nearly every bite of pork. The red cabbage was delicious as well. It doesn't have quite as strong a flavor as sauerkraut, but some of the same flavor profile. The spatzle seemed like it should have been a little less mushy, but it was still good. Beef Stroganoff - I tried a bite of this, and it was very good. The beef and mushrooms are cooked perfectly, and the sauce added great flavor. Fish and Chips - I tried a bite of this as well, and it was nice and tender on the inside of a crunch outside. Pretty well executed fish and chips. I'll have to make my way back here at least a few times to try out all of the other things that caught my eye on the menu. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our server knew the details of all of the dishes without hesitation, and she provided a good recommendation as to which dish I should eat of the 3 I had narrowed my choices down to. When I asked about the Roasted Garlic Bulbs--which I want to try at some point--she said they were great, but that it's something you have to plan your evening around. Good humor, to boot. I did not order any beer during this meal, but it looked like they had a great selection of beers that are not your run-of-the-mill types. My sister and brother-in-law both enjoyed their beverages. I'll definitely be back.

Lovely. Love the interior, very European lodge. Moderate, but tasty beer selection. I tried the Noble Hefeweizen. Our bartender recommended we try the Brewmasters Basket as an appetizer. Crispy calamari, fries, toast, and garlic. The portions were generous and tasty. Our Bartender was great, very nice. The only thing I can criticize was the hostess (she was rude), but her attitude wasn't enough to change my overall perception of this brewery. We will come back, and bring our friends, too.

great beer, amazing food and a great atmosphere! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, i got the garlic burger with garlic fries (can you tell i like garlic?) the rest of my table got the pierogi and sausage, i stole a few bites and they were both very tasty. I can't wait to come here again, a DEFINITE must try when you're in SLC
The chicken pesto pizza is fantastic! The bread pudding wasnt that great though- tasted like it had been zapped too long in a microwave. That pizza though.. way awesome! And they have 50 cent beer samples that the hubby loves.

I had high hopes for this place. I searched for nearby "gastropub" and this place was at the top of the list. I was immediately drawn towards the calamari and the beet salad on the menu. (I love beets!) The calamari portion was generous and pretty tasty despite being a bit over salted. The beet salad however was a near total failure. The beets were over cooked and very heavily flavored with star anise and cinnamon. So much so that they had no flavor of beet. I found myself digging for the walnuts just to have some texture. The manager was nice enough to knock the salad down to half price but didn't feel compelled to talk to me about my experience. The ambience is a cross between mountain lodge and traditional beer garden though at only a third full the place is quite loud. This can be attributed to the bare concrete floors, wood log walls and ceilings. Not a soft surface insight to absorb sound. The service at the bar was adequate during my dining experience.

First off, this place serves food until 11pm on the weekdays - which is kind of a BIG DEAL in Utah, where everything closes at 9pm. If you're interested in a non-fast food late night dining option, this place is a huge win. I'm eastern european, so I grew up eating a very similar style of food. My boyfriend is of german descent and was literally giddy about the menu. We shared two entrees - The Chicken Paprikash - Chicken breast with creamy hungarian paprika sauce served with a side of steamed veggies and spätzle. Roast beef on the bone, served with red cabbage and spätzle. Not sure what this menu item is called. The chicken was OK - maybe 4 stars from me. It was cooked perfectly, and moist on the inside. The sauce drizzled on the chicken was the star of the show, and I would have appreciated a bigger helping of it. The veggies were ok - not mushy at all but pretty plain. The spätzle is a pretty close, but not perfect. The variety they use is a little too dense, and was a bit over-fried. The ideal end result should be light and airy. The beef dish on the other hand was the star of the show. Deliciously seasoned, perfectly cooked fall off the bone meat. The red cabbage was great also - my boyfriend was very impressed with the recipe. Overall a 4.5 star experience, but I'm bumping it up to 5 due to the great service and uniqueness of the menu. We'll be back!

Had the specials, a pork florentine which was tasty but I wouldn't have it again. The roasted garlic bulbs with toast are a must-try and I've tried this dish in various locations but this was the best ever. Since they're a micro brewery, they also have a good range of their own beers including lagers, pilsner to the darker hoppy ones which you could order samplers. The seasonal beers are also worth sampling. I preferred the pilsner because it was nice and light yet flavorful. The service was quick and prompt and alfresco seating on a cool night adds to the ambience. Great for group parties yet also great for business meetings like the one I had.

Texan vacationing in Utah here. As you may have seen in some of my other posts, my husband and I love visiting local breweries and brewpubs when we travel. After a terrible visit to Hoppers about 2 weeks ago, I was skeptical about trying anything else in Utah in the brewpub genre. You know, you guys have to deal with that whole 4% draft alcohol thing which kinda sucks when it comes to flavor. And the service in SLC sucks on par with the kind you get in the likes of Seattle and other places where the waitstaff makes a bit more hourly and doesn't need to rely on tips to make up most of their income. This place is different though. The restaurant is well-lit and smartly decorated. The outdoor patio is where we sat and there were actual hop vines snaking up the divider behind our table. The host who sat us was very friendly and our waiter showed up very soon afterwards. He was pretty awesome and attentive - in fact, the only time we were kind of like, Where the hell is our waiter? was towards the end, but in his defense, we'd sent him away before he could issue the check as we weren't sure if we were going to get dessert. We started with the calamari, which was fried in a light batter and coated with what tasted like a creamy chipotle sauce. There were also some fried bell peppers sprinkled in - delicious. There were 4 in our party and I think we sampled the menu pretty well. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was marinated well and very tender. It came with both fresh and sun-dried tomatoes - weird but good - and hazelnuts! My 2 friends got the garlic burger and the fish and chips. My husband got the brats and perogies (sp?) Everything except the brat plate came with these delicious garlic fries - no ketchup needed! Reports on the coleslaw that came with the fish and chips were positive overall. The beer was actually decent. They currently have 2 seasonal beers. You can try small pours (2-3 oz) for 50 cents each - it's a steal! I recommend the current seasonal Lundt beer (I think that's what it was called). The weakest I think was the Hefe but the other ones were quite solid considering the 4% governor. I would come back again and again to try all the offerings. This place is delicious and worth a trip.

Being my first visit I had it in the back of my mind that this place would loud and crowded. Being that I have run into in other places that of the same vein. I have to say I like this place. Not overly crowded or so loud that you have to yell to be heard across the table. Janelle was a delight as a server. Quick with the refills, always coming by to make sure that we happy with our meals. The smile and friendliness are natural and honest. I have to say I dislike the food. Garlic Fries are crispy good, nor overly done with garlic. Speaking of which, loved the Roasted Garlic Bulbs. The Pork Schnitzel was good. Something I look forward to having again.

Amazing food and the service, I had the steak salad and it was superb, with the flavor on the salad being light, and the steak was to perfection and tender. Highly recommend the steak salad.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Just like the song, this place delivers on all fronts. I didn't even know this place existed until my friends said we're going there for dinner. Parking was a bit tough to find as it was packed, but don't let that deter you. The restaurant is decently sized and they even have quite a bit of patio seating which is going to be perfect once the weather warms up a bit. So my group and I walked up to the bar while we waited for a table and it was a full service bar with plenty of good beer to go around. My suggestion is to try whatever they have in their seasonal selection. it's usually 3-4 different beers so don't be afraid to give all of them a go. The food....just amazing. The smell just overtakes you even before you walk into the restaurant. It was sooooo good. If you want a solid selection, order the pirogies & bratwurst. So much food in one dish. The pirogies were covered with grilled onions and bacon, hmmmm.....bacon, and the bratwurst had a hefty side of sauerkraut which was just delicious. Two bratwurst & 3 pirogies in all. Don't finish it all if you want to have room for dessert. Get the strudel if you do. Light, flaky with ice cream and whip cream on the side...Can't go wrong. The rest of my party ordered fish and chips, the veggie burger and the portobello mushroom dish. All said they were fine choices, but then again they all craved the pirogies and bratwurst that I was eating.

Bohemian used to be mid-valley option that had decent food with good beer and wine options. However the past two experiences with the service and the food were so awful that it's forever "on the list" of places we'll avoid. As someone who has spent years in the service industry I know that things happen with the kitchen and it's hard to recover. But I also know that there are little things a server can do to make the experience better. Our server dropped the ball entirely. My salad came out before our appetizers and the burger. When we finally got the burger it was raw, literally raw not medium well as ordered. The manager offered to remake the burger but after waiting an hour for our food we just wanted to leave. Then we had to wait another 30 minutes to get the check and cash out. Instead of the server acknowledging the problems, she made excuses for why it took so long to get our credit card. We left two hours later angry, hungry and resolved that we will never go back.

Had a great dinner with friends. Their pork shank was flavorful, plenty of meat too. The whole menu is German food so I knew what to expect. They even make their own Pirogies; very flavorful too. Dessert was apple strudel. Genuine strudel too! We will be going back.

Came here for some beer. Great beer! Service is friendly and genuine. I like the open and rustic feel of the place. However, the bathroom is nasty. Kind of grosses me out from ordering food here. But, great place to chill and have a couple beers.

We had an incredibly disappointing experience here today. My brother and his girlfriend went to fill up two growlers. As today is her 21st birthday, she was excited to go and order her first "legal" drink. When they arrived she was turned down by a guy NOT WEARING A NAME TAG. He also made fun of her to the other patrons sitting at the bar stating, "I don't serve minors...", ON HER BIRTHDAY! This bartender claimed that she had to wait a full 24 hours before he could legally serve her. As if ANYONE is expected to wait 24 hours to celebrate their 21st birthday. As a bar / restaurant employee he should know, that any bar in Utah can serve a new 21 year old as soon as midnight on the day of their birthday. 100% legal. He also has no idea how to properly fill a growler, as he filled the two we bought only two thirds of the way full, and did not seal them up quickly after, so they are flat and undrinkable. This guy (who was at least acting like a manager - Yelling at the staff in front of their tables) should know the real laws of his trade, and work on his pouring skill, and customer service. Any GOOD bartender knows that a newly 21 year old is a great way to boost business because they are learning where they feel welcomed to drink. He has failed his business with his cold welcome to her, especially considering it IS actually against the law to work without a name tag on. He gave her a few stickers as a consolation prize, like the bank teller handing a child a lollipop. We usually love going here, so it is hard to give such a low rating, but this one person has ruined one of our favorite places for us.

I've been eating here for years and service and food are always hit or miss. When it's good, I love it but about every 4th time I'm here it's so bad that I swear I won't go back. I waited over an hour for a salad that came out wilted and pathetically layered a few beats and a sprinkle of goat cheese. The onions were supposed to be caramelized but we're not even browned. The lettuce was soggy from too much dressing. In the hour wait for this "salad" my drink was never refilled. The waitress said sorry about the wait and that a manager would come out and talk to us. He gave our table of 4 one dessert to share for free. I still paid $14 for a shitty salad. I told him the salad was bad and his response was that other patrons liked it. Then the checks got all mixed up. I was charged for stuff I didn't order then had to wait about 30 minutes for them to fix it. The whole experience took 3 hours and I left starving and completely dissatisfied with food and service. It will be a long time before I consider going back.

I have been going here for a few years and every time I go back the food and service gets worse. I went for their brunch just to mix things up a little and I was so disappointed. The service was subpar, I wasn't even able to eat my food it was so bland the server herself said that the pork and chicken schnitzel tasted the same and the fruit on the side was warm and looked slimey I'm officially over this place, it's so close to home but I will gladly drive farther to avoid it

We came here for lunch and wanted to watch the world cup. I thought it was going to be more of a bar than a restaurant, but the staff was really helpful and went out of the way to make sure we could see and hear the game. I was really impressed with the quality of service and had a great meal because of it. The server was really new so she didn't have a ton of suggestions, but she was really sweet. The food was good, but nothing that was super amazing. I had the blackberry chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. My husband had the Pierogies and Bratwurst. I think that pretty much everything could have used some salt and some other seasonings. The mashed potatoes were really dry and bland. The chicken was just a plain breaded chicken with a blackberry sauce, nothing out of this world. The pierogies were probably our favorite things, they were soft, pillowy and tasty. I hear the garlic fries are delicious so I want to go back and try those soon.

Not too shabby for a local brewery. It was crazy busy and we expected a long wait, but only had to wait for about 10 minutes before we were seated. The waitress was super friendly and funny - it created a great atmosphere. I had the Beef Stroganoff and WOAH. I'm drooling just thinking about it. (Homer thinking about donuts drooling. It's really attractive). They used little bites of a NY Steak as the beef. I'm definitely a fan of this place!

Really good schnitzel and awesome spatzle. Beer is solid too. Fun atmosphere and they have outside covered seating. I live in Ohio and seek this place out when I get to Salt Lake City. Good size menu with authentic German and other European food. Menu has good beer pairing options to help you explore beer and food to enhance your dining experience.

German or Polish? I'm not sure which based on some of the brews and menu selections but it really doesn't matter. This place that looks and feels like a Bavarian cabin features great beers and delicious food. I left full and happy.

Great place to get craft-brewed German lagers. While I'm always one to appreciate a nice hoppy brew, it's nice to have a place like Bohemia that offers a great selection of malty, quaffable lagers. I sampled the Bavarian Weiss, Gratzer (an unusual and uncommon smoky all-wheat beer), Schwarzbier and Viennese lager. All were excellent, the Schwarzbier outstanding. My wife had the Hefeweizen, which was also very good. This is a very cool, very German restaurant. The bar is warm and comfortable. We didn't eat but the food looked great. The place was packed. We'll definitely go back next time we're in SLC.

Bohemian Brewery feels like an old world European pub and serves up a variety of food and drinks at their Midvale restaurant. I've eaten here for lunch and dinner a few times and rather enjoyed the food. Staff is always friendly and the service is prompt. I would recommend it.

Love this place, try the roasted garlic! It is the bomb!! The drunken chicken had no flavor to the sauce, but it could have been a fluke. The garlic fries, nom. The garlic burger, Nom and the little shooters to try a new beer is pretty kick ass!

I REALLY wanted to give this place five stars. I've been coming here for a few years and I really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is almost always really good and well prepared. But the service... The service could be better. Normally we try to sit at the bar. There are two bartenders in particular who are absolutely amazing. Those being Drew and Melissa (hopefully I'm getting the spellings correct). Both of them have given consistently good service, and so we try to get them when we go. The last few times we have sat in the dining room, bringing guests from out of town, the service has been absolutely horrible. This is not just from new people. There is a gal who does not seem native to the U.S. who has been here for several years and she has consistently given horrible service. (I have no problems with people not from the U.S., I only give this detail as a way of identifying her for the restaurant without giving her name or other details). There have been other sub-par servers who are much newer, but I have the hope that perhaps they will be able to improve as they're there--since I doubt the restaurant will let them go. But besides service, the food is almost consistently good. Not being one to enjoy beer, I personally cannot say either way on their beer, but every beer-loving dining companion I've brought there have had good things to say about the beer, so it seems that it's definitely worth coming for (which I would hope, since they're a brewery). They do have a nice wine list and some very delicious mixed drinks--though it is Utah so none of them are very strong. The atmosphere is cozy and visually interesting. The dining room, bar, and restrooms are clean and well maintained. They have a nice outdoor area to dine in the warmer weather as well. Again, I really think this could have been a five star review, but the service given from 70% of the employees really need to improve. Good service should come from all the staff, not just a small few.

Excellent food! The Ruben sandwich is awesome. The kraut is the best ever! I had a brat on the side and it stole the show! The service was excellent. I was seated by the manager and he explained the lunch specials. He was fun to talk to. Our waiter was great. The $4 price tag on the brat was a bit pricey, all in all this was a very good lunch.

The Bohemian is within walking distance of our house so we come here quite a bit. We also have a collection of the growler mugs crowding our cupboard. We love this place. The latest visit was no different in terms of quality. We ordered the pork schnitzel, the beef goulash, and the beef stroganoff. Food was seasoned nicely and arrived timely. Portions are excellent. Beer is always a highlight here. I tried a few of the seasonal selections, but stuck with a combination of the Cherny Bock and the Viennese Lager for tonight. Only one beer is not good - the Hefeweizen - with the taste (I kid you not) of bubble gum and bananas. Service is the only thing that isn't consistent. Some (most) visits it is great, with an interactive attentive server and some visits are the exact polar opposite. Tonight's visit was somewhere in the middle. Our server was efficient but busy and quick and our table was set along a main thoroughfare of servers and bathroom seekers which resulted in consistent bumpings. Small issues with personnel aside, this place still merits a 5 star rating. Lastly, if you don't mind sitting at the bar, you can skip the line and enjoy consistently greater service. +2 for a unique menu +2 for giant beers -1 for bubble gum beer +1 for waitstaff that will accommodate you if you don't like the bubble gum beer +1 for a great decor +1 bonus if you can say Schweinsaxe after a few Cherny Bocks

This was hands down the best meatloaf I have ever had. The service was good. There were so many choices I could not decide. So I settled on the meatloaf and I'm glad I did. My husband had the pierogies and brats and I kept sneaking taste of his plate. my favorite part was the hot buttered rum and the crab cakes for the appetizer they were really really good. next time we come back we'll do the brunch thing or will have the stroganoff because that looks really good too. If you're looking for comfort food and a good beer this is where you go.

This is as authentic as it gets outside of Bavaria. The schweinhaxe with red cabbage and mashed was as good as it was in Garmisch. Their beers are delectable and pair well with the dinners. There is a good selection of Weisbiers for whatever dish you get. The Spaetzl was a little dry but that was insignificant compared to the rest of the meal.

I love that this place is so close to my place. Brought a friend here and had a fantastic dinner. Our server was so attentive and nice! Five stars just for that. I had the garlic burger, which was amazing, and my friend had the brats and pierogies which I've also had before. It was perfect with our hefes. This is a cool place to eat, like a cabin inside.

Was in mid ale on a ski trip with friends, we were looking for a place close by the hotel we were staying at. Place had great atmosphere, servers were attentive and friendly. Food was good quality and value for money. Ended up coming here two nights. Both nights had the New York sirloin done to perfection, also had the Viennese lager, yum. Great pub atmosphere for casual dining experience

Stepping into the Bohemian Brewery is like stepping into an old pub, with it's log interior, stone fireplace and rustic animal heads mounted on the walls. The contemporary artwork and the cool staff round out the old-world effect and create a hip eastern-European vibe. The Bohemian brews lagers and only lagers, the traditional way, adhering to German purity standards. Their four staples are Czech Pilsner, Viennese Lager, Cherny Bock and Bavarian Weiss, along with a small assortment of other seasonal brews which are always really good. You can get them on tap in a myriad of sizes, from pint to growler. Pro Tip: you can order "tastes" of each beer for .50 a pop. It's a great way to have a flight of beers. As for the menu, you can get all types of gastro-pub fare, but these folks are Czech. Order Bohemian food. They do a mighty fine job of it, I promise you no regrets or longing stares at your buddy's plate. I wish I got a picture of their schnitzel. It really is a thing of beauty. As it goes, I ate it so fast, that all I had to photograph was my beer, which I was savoring a bit more slowly. Delicious beer, cozy environment, fantastic brats, pierogies, and red cabbage. We've even taken "real" Germans here and they loved it.

This review needs to be broken down. Parts of our experience was awesome and some not so good. . Service: They seated us and served us fast. However, then no one checked on us to see if we needed anything. After we were served our server never came back until we were done. Both of us would have liked to have another drink while we were still eating. And when he came for the check he didn't even ask if there was anything else we wanted. Food: My husband gives it a 5 star. I give it a 3 star. I chose my entree based on the Spaetzle but it was dry and very bland basically had no taste. The pork shank and cabbage was awesome. We will go back, it wasn't that bad.

I estimate that the total caloric intake of the meal that I just consumed was 1276. First, the perfectly browned toast with a slab of real butter and grape jelly 275 calories. Then the perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs with a dash of Tabasco 140 calories. Ahhh, the main entree has arrived. Blueberry creme cheese filled French Toast fried to perfection drowned in authentic maple syrup 861 calories. Our server was awesome and kept all of our drinks full and really cared about us. I love this place! I'm off to the gym to burn this off so I can return tomorrow!

The food is was pretty good. The garlic burger really lives up to it's name. I was happy to know that they grind their own beef here. I think that is pretty cool as it's not something you see often. Glad to find a place where I can get a medium rare burger, however; It wasn't cooked medium rare like I asked it to be. :( I do have one bt of advice for the dark haired waitress with the red lipstick. I get it, I used to do waitressing and I know how stressful it can be to deal with staff who don't quite pull their weight. However just because you complain about them where they can't hear it doesn't mean others can't hear it. Don't want to hear complaints about bad staff while I'm eating. I will be back though for sure

Very upset! This is (was) one of our favorite places. Last night our service was terrible and contributed to 1) My daughters order being wrong; 2) Our drinks never refilled; 3) Cold food. We really couldn't understand our waitress- her accent wasn't the issue, she was literally inaudible and had the temerity in the end to give us our check and stand there waiting for me to scramble and pull out my credit card. The food wasn't up to standards either- my bratwurst was accompanied by a small ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. We expected much better because we have received much better multiple times. Very depressing to lose a consistent part of our restaurant rotation- We won't be back.

I have eaten here plenty of times. I'm in the area having my truck worked on so I took my bike with me and rode over to eat and have a drink. The server was fine with letting me in with my bike. It's a new bike and in the 800 range, I only say this to make it clear why I wasn't ok with leaving it outside. They had a corner table right out of the way and a corner I could set my bike. The old lady who came up said I could leave it on the patio and it would be fine. I looked at her and said "the open patio". As if a criminal won't walk up on a patio that has no customers on it and steal a bike. The patio was closed down, so it was as safe as just leaving it on the sidewalk. I said I'm sorry I didn't realize it was such a big deal and that I will take my business elsewhere. I will not be eating there today or ever again. I wasn't asking to brin

First time hear, but I am also from out of state were real alcohol rules apply... LMAO They have some really good beer, first off. The barmaid was very nice and helpful, had a big hot pretzel, it was good wish they had the Bar cheese that should go with a GERMAN bar or Pretzel... This is in incomplete review, hadn't sampled the menu.... This was dinner service, but I don't think there was anything on the menu below $10, even appetizers, and the appetizer list was meh.... Not trying to knock them, but think they can do better... I will try there food and give a updated review.....

Landed here after a show set up day - close to the hotel and recommended by the front desk. The beer was cold and tasty, the schnitzel was a 3, maybe - I have had sooooo much better. Our server had twice the tables she should have, so the service was not good. Rustic, pretty noisy place - you can you better in Salt Lake.

Fries are delicious, the bread and seasoned butter were also really good. Fun atmosphere, cool lodge feeling.

I have been here many times but never wrote a review yet apparently. I have always had great experiences when coming here. Great food and of course great beer. The service is quick and super friendly. We came in on a Friday night at 7 expecting a long wait. But only waited about 15 minutes for a table of 4. I would suggest you get anything from the German side of the menu. I had the bratwurst on this trip. Oh so good with the incredible sauerkraut they make. I can't wait for my next trip back.

One of my favorite restaurants. Love the food here. Great unique flavors. Neat and unique items on the menu. Not necessarily a huge focus on being healthy or low-fat... :), but awesome flavors. Wish I were in the area more often. Great fun atmosphere as well. Good staff. They need a larger parking lot though.

Delicious! The food was cooked PERFECTLY. The menu was wonderful and the drinks were HUGE and amazing! (I had a long island iced tea) the service was good, and the atmosphere very pleasing. I will be coming here again and again and again! You DEFINITELY NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE!

This place is great! I am Bohemian and grew up eating this food made by my mom, grand ma and aunts. I can assure you that this place is really good! The Sauerkraut is awesome, the grilled pork tenderloin is just delicious! Their brews are off the charts! I love this restaurant and go here every time I am in Salt Lake City! If you like this type of food don't miss this place!

Damn it! They putted a spell on me! Now all I crave is their sweet creamy french toast. I cannot describe the simple but delicious french toast with words. However, you can just look at the photo I posted on their yelp page and see how yummy it looks. Also my boyfriend ordered the Verona sandwich and he enjoyed it too. I know he likes the place if he will bring his coworkers for lunch. We both had a good time maybe because we had a hip happy jolly server on that day.

Based on the interior decor, "Bohemian" doesn't seem like the best name for this place. Unable to ignore the many animal heads on the walls, "Backwoods" or "Hunter's Delight" may be more accurate. Although, "Brewery" is totally appropriate. We didn't venture too much into the menu and kept it simple with fish n chips and a burger. Our menu selections seemed pretty basic, hard to screw up, but we weren't impressed. My fish was NOT fresh. It tasted a bit too fishy for my tatste, mushy for my comfort, and the pieces were small and meager. My husband's "garlic" burger was lacking...in garlic. He eventually got to a bite with garlic in it, but that was about it for any garlic. So technically, I suppose they fulfilled their end of the deal for a garlic burger, but pretty pathetic garlic burger if you ask me. And I can probably say the same for the fries. Where they lacked in quality, they made up in quantity. I had more fries piled on my plate than I could have possibly finished in one sitting and while the fries had potential as I'm partial to skinny fries and even more-so, garlic skinny fries, both of our servings of fries were cold and stale. They had definitely been sitting out too long before they ever made it to my plate. I may go back again to try other menu options since the place seemed like it SHOULD have been decent, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon.

Not always the best service but the food is always great. Especially the beer. I would definitely recommend the brewery tour on the first Wednesday of the month. Drewskie the bar tender is one of the best bar tenders ever. Make sure to sit at the bar of you want great service! Love him! Drew will not let you down!

Love the roasted garlic bulbs- so creamy and delicious. The tomato basil tapenade they come with are a nice addition. The fish & chips were amazing. The fish was fried perfectly and the batter was seasoned well and so crispy! The garlic fries were also delicious. Portions are generous, can't wait to go back and try their bratwurst.

I took a Chinese couple that were vacationing at the Raintree Relaxation Retreat in Sandy to this restaurant because I heard it was "the best food ever!", and I wanted to introduce them to some of the local "Sweet Spots". The Bohemian Grill totally lived up to its reputation in every way! The restaurant has a very pronounced "Europeanesque" atmosphere - I've been to Bohemia in Europe and you wouldn't be able to differentiate the decor and ambiance. Almost an enchanted experience. I had the Salmon Salad which was fantastic! The serving sizes are large, you definitely get your money's worth. I'm not a drinker, but my friends both had a house crafted beer and were equally satisfied. Everything on the menu is quite original or traditional for Europe - in other words, the same named dish will be an almost entirely different experience for your palate than one you've had before at a less distinctive local restaurant. They really understand the art of spicing the food - very rich and deep, but not excessive. I'll be going there frequently in the future.

Salmon spinach salad is amazing! Everything I've had there is great! Garlic fries & burger outstanding & of course their beer is out of this world!

I sat at the bar with a buddy to catch up after 10 years. We had some chicken wings, cooked to order (crispy) and they were perfect. The garlic burger/fries was also delish (you have to be ok with a lot of garlic). The beer was amazing and the ambiance can't be beat. The entire staff was professional and courteous. What more can you ask for? We arrived earlier in the evening before the rush, and it packed up quick. I'm not sure if they take reservations, I could see a possible wait if you're there during the dinner rush. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Deep in the depths of Cottonwood Heights, there lies the Bohemian Brewery! Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of their beers but i kept hearing that the food is pretty good. As you first walk in, you get the feeling that you just walked into an expensive cabin deep in the woods... which is awesome. The menu isn't huge, but it has some great stuff. They have burgers, salads and then a few German options. The first time I came, i got the brat sandwich. It's bigger than i imagined it would be, and had great flavor to it. The second time, I got the schnitzel. They have the option for chicken or pork, the waiter said chicken was better so thats what i went with. My friend got the pork and we split them in half which confirmed that its nearly impossible to beat pork. Don't get me wrong, the chicken was good and PERFECTLY fried but it just didn't quite match up to the pork. I substituted the vegetables for the spaetzle which was okay, but relatively boring. It also comes with mashed potatoes which were great. I have a hard time spending $17 on this meal, but it'll be nice to throw into my rotation every couple of weeks/months. Give it a shot if you're down in the area. They also do Paint Nite which is a lot of fun.

Kate M.
We went with family and I wasn't very impressed. I didn't get to try beers, because it was not worth the hassle I would have lived through from his family about me drinking (since they don't imbibe). The spatzle was overcooked, but the garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. The meats were cooked well, but side veggies were definitely undercooked. Service was slow considering it was Labor day and they were staffed for a busy day, even though the restaurant was mostly empty.

One of the best places to get a rueben in the salt lake area. The homemade sauerkraut is the best i'v had anywhere. The services is excellent every time I go in the owner greets me and and give me a rundown of what's new. You can tell he love what he does.

Julie H.
I really love this place...the food is always good, Really good. I have had so many different things on the menu here and am never disappointed. I have to recommend the Ruben if you are into those or the Prague Salad and obviously a manly sized beer to go with it. I am pretty sure its a good thing I moved away from it because at one point I was coming here 3x a week.

Cassandra R.
The best sauerkraut ever! Instead of being drenched in vinegar it actually has a sweet zing to it. It's amazing! Sunday brunch is great! Love the bloody Mary's and mimosas! The food has always been great! It's usually busy so sometimes it can take a while to get the food. The serving staff is not always the best, but the manager is very nice. Oh, and the have great microbrews!

On this last visit I had the bratwurst and Pierogies. I didn't think I could find Pierogies in SLC, but I was wrong and they were good. The whole meal was! My husband loves the meatloaf. We had the garlic buds for the appetizer ... which I probably would not get a second time. Not too long of a wait and good service. One of our favorite places. Parking is not good on a busy night, though.

Sally D.
Good delicious I ordered brats with sauerkraut and pierogi very tasty, my husband ordered the club with garlic fries, also very good. We both ordered beers, waitress offered suggestions even brought samples we we were not sure. The place was very clean and service was excellent. I will defiantly go back. We went about 2 on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside perfect weather .

4 stars for the food. 3 stars for the beer (average, but good German style beers). First off, I like the style of the restaurant, looks like a German ski chalet from the outside. Parking was a little difficult and awkward (if you circle and there are no spots, you pretty much have to exit to the street without the opportunity to circle back around). The food menu has great choices. Besides the German choices of Bratwurst and Schnitzel, they have a nice selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, soup and wood-fired pizzas. Woo Hoo they have Buffalo burgers (bison beef which is low fat and tasty)! You can swap the garlic fries for any of the other sides - try the spaetzle ! The buffalo was cooked well and tasted great with nice amount of tomato and almost too much bacon (can you ever have too much bacon). The beer was fine but nothing unique. The Schwarzbier (darker ale) was my fav, and they have a nice lager and two light pilsner and Hef which are fine but not for someone who enjoys more varieties and IPAs. I tried 4 tasters ($0.50 each) of their 4 styles and it was a good way to taste your way through Germany - Bohemian style. I like this place, but wouldn't go out of my way if I was staying in downtown SLC to get here since there are plenty of options walkable from downtown.

This place is nicely decorated. It feels sort of like a ski lodge. The food selection is outstanding. I got the bratwurst and sauerkraut, it was delicious! Everyone's food they ordered was delicious at my table. The beer is just ok. The service however is horrible. Not sure what was going on. It took 10 minutes to get me a CAN of beer and a glass. Longer for food.

Dustin S.
Easy 5 out of 5. I absolutely love this place. Great food and even better beer. Service is reasonable and I have not had to wait for extended periods of time. I also like that I can take some beer "to-go" in a Bohemian branded growler. If I have a favorite place to eat, this is it. Only ding I can think of is the parking. It's usually pretty hard to find a spot, even when it's not extremely busy.

The atmosphere is fun. The food is delicious. I love this place because they serve a nice variety of food for meat lovers and vegetarians. I cannot stay away from those garlic fries!

Really enjoyed it. Seated immediately; friendly, efficient waitress, large, diverse menu. Buddy & I both had the Bohemian Schnitzel. He had pork, chicken for me. Very tender and moist with great flavor. Substituting red cabbage for the mashed potatoes was no problem. Nice side of FRESH vegetables; not the frozen medley that many places serve. Will definitely return soon. Beer was not bad, either. Go early...business was brisk on this Tuesday evening.

Rob D.
We came to Salt Lake to ski and asked a girl in a coffee shop what her favorite place to eat was. She sent us here, and man, am I glad she did The food is awesome - we had the calamari to start and it was literally the best calamari appetizer we've ever had. We followed that with the brat and pierogis and beef stroganoff - both excellent. We also sampled all their craft beer for $.50 a sample which is a great way to try them. The service was impeccable; very friendly, helpful and quick. If we are ever back in town, totally coming back here.

Randy H.
Was fair. We where in a large group, and we ordered quite a variety of food from the menu. I am sorry to say that there was nothing spectacular. Steak and brats where over cooked. Fish and chips, fish was dry but had a decent flavor. Over all the food was fair, but very overpriced. Now for service this was spectacular. Our waitresses was very friendly and attentive. She even took the cake we brought in for a birthday got some candles and brought back out lit. She made the overall experience worth being there. Can't say we go back on our own. But would eat there again if someone wanted to meet there. Really only rates 2.5 star's

Rod S.
I finally made it here after seeing it for so long. The deck was welcoming. It's dog friendly too. The large menu contains a lot of dishes that pair really well with the beer. They also do a nice mix of pub grub you'd expect in America as well as old World dishes. The food has a lot of nods to Czech cuisine. They will never be able to match the fresh beers of Pilsen and Budvar, nor the experience of eating and drinking on the square in Prague. However, you can taste the heritage in beer and food while not trying to just be a mimic. I should have come before this. I'll certainly be back.

Boehemian Brewery was the choice of a friend of mine, who ran the 2013 Park City marathon in Park City, UT on 08/17/2013 and I did the 2013 Run with the Horses Marathon in Green River, WY. We all met up here at the Bohemian Brewery in Midvale to celebrate all our accomplishments of the day. I had to rush it down from GreenRiver, WY 2 1/2 hours away to make it in time for a 6:30pm dinner reservation. Thankful as ever that I did make it and they haven't ordered yet! That awesome! It was a nice experience overall and we dined outside on the patio. The ambiance was nice and it wasn't close to the street, but we heard a couple of ambulances during our meal. Located in Midvale on 7200 S next to the I-15S ramp, the Bohemian Brewery was just what I needed after running around Green River, WY that day. I really wasn't thinking, but I just ordered off the top of my head and not paying attention to price. Yes folks, this place is kind of pricey, but it is good. Our server was Jordan. He was good for us. I ordered first the large beer - the green Pilsen to taste. It was a giant manly sized beer that cost $8.50. I was a bit sticker shocked, but whatever. Next, I ordered the pub steak rare. I thought that it came out a whole steak, but the presentation came out cut and drenched in some gravy sauce. This was certainly no steakhouse, but the prices tend to dictate so. It came with garlic mash potatoes and I ordered a side of garlic fries on the side. The taste was good, but not great. Thought that the portions were somewhat adequate, but could have been more generous, especially with the vegetables. Maybe they're secretly telling you you're not supposed to eat that much? Maybe, maybe not. The best part was the company and that made the pain of the day's marathon earlier in the day fade away into the Wasatch mountains. Service was good and tended to mimic fine dining, although it was just a casual affair. It felt more upscale than I thought, but then again, I over think it. The sticker shock came when I received the bill, but I should've known better. The entire experience was well worth seeing my marathoner friends whom live in and around SLC again. It was awesome. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant and brewery just because of the selection of beer and various local beers they have on tap. The prices for food can be pricey, so be forewarned. They have a private parking lot and there was ample parking, at least on a Saturday night. Not sure what it is like on a typical weekend, but thankful that there were plenty of spaces. I enjoyed myself and hope you would too. Cheers! Support local! B

Stopped in here last week for a meal on a work trip. The decor and atmosphere are pretty fun and it definitely does make you feel like you're in a Bohemian Brewery. I bet this place would be a stellar location to catch the latest Champion's League match or just any futbol in general. The food seemed slightly overpriced for the quality, but the food was still very good. I really didn't have anything negative to say other than the temperature of the place. DANG was it warm in there. I'll probably consider this place again the next time I roll through the Salt Lake City area.

We are visiting Utah and found this gem up the street from our hotel. AMAZING! great food! My hubby had a pub steak, I had a garlic burger, our daughter had mac and cheese. All with Nachos as a starter. Needless to say, we didnt finish it all! it was SO yummy! we will be going back before we end our trip to Utah

Fast friendly service. We took the advice of the waiter and ordered the blackberry brandy chicken, then played it safe with the fish n chips. The chicken was superb. The fish was good, especially like the garlic fries and slaw. The roasted garlic app was messy but really unique and tasty. Also good cherny black beer. I'll be back the next time I'm in SLC.

The food has always been fantastic and that's the main reason that I keep going back! I've never left dissatisfied... The atmosphere is pretty cool but the service is 50/50. I'll be honest when I say that I dred having Karen as my server... She has made me late to work several times on lunch breaks even when I have told her that I was on a time crunch. On one occasion she left me and a coworker for twenty minutes after she'd cleared our plates before she brought our check. I was going to give them a 3/5 but now that they switched from Pepsi to Coke... I had to give them a 4/5. Great Place with Great Food!

Went to Bohemian tonight with a girlfriend. I've never had a bad meal and tonight was no exception. Was greeted by Jason at the door and while waiting for my friend, I inquired about the special. He is very knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. To make a long story short he talked me into the special, Jagerschnitzel with red cabbage and Spatzle. I was NOT disappointed. The pork was fork tender, breaded lightly and to perfection and oh so good.The sauce on the side consisted of mushrooms (yum) in a sauce with just enough bite in the tangy flavor to make my taste buds do the happy dance. The red cabbage was mouth watering and the Spatzle oh so good. Highly recommended! Thanks Jason for talking me into the special

Gosh - I hate writing "Meh" reviews, but I really can't wax lyrical about this place. I'm not sure if I've become a pub-grub snob, or what, but they serve regular pub-grub, cooked like pub grub (ie: nothing outstanding). That said - if you need a garlic cure, try their garlic fries. You'll be sweating the stuff for days. The day we were there it was a warm spring day and they had the fire going inside. Guess where we were sitting.... yep, right by the fire. I think I came out with heatstroke. I believe the fireplace table was punishment for not wanting to sit at the small 2-seater table, in the dark, by the back door. I also prefer my Mimosa (aka Bucks Fizz to my countrymen) served in a Champagne glass rather than a small red wine glass... just sayin'.

I've been back a few times for dinner, and overall I'm still a big fan. This is such a unique treasure in this part of the valley; there's nothing else like it. When my uncle came to town (he's a beer fan) I knew this is where I'd take him. He was indeed a fan of their brews, and especially the little $1 sampler glass. Once again, I can't speak to the authenticity of the Bohemian-ness, but there are some dishes that you' won't find anywhere else. And the portions are pretty generous. I was snarfing down schnitzel and filled myself right up. Ambiance is unique. Like a European hunting lodge. With a patio. And grape vines outside. It's a thing, trust me. It's a solid bet if you're looking for something different. The food isn't exploding through the barriers of epicurean exploration, but it's not trying to. Beer. Brunch. Dinner. Do it.

My husband and I tried the Bohemian for the second time this evening. I do love the atmosphere and sitting outside today was delightful. I must admit, my husband is easy to please and he enjoyed his meal and his beers. However, my Bohemian Schnitzel was terribly overcooked and tough. I ordered the chicken, but think I must have been served the pork due to the toughness. I was only able to eat a couple of bites and took the rest home to the dog. She loved it! The mashed potatoes were good but I agree with other reviewers that the veggies were way undercooked. I had a couple of Bahama Mamas to drink. I'm a lightweight when it comes to liquor, but after drinking two of them, I felt confident that little if any alcohol was put in the drinks. Overall for me a real disappointment. I must comment on our server. He was courteous, knew the menu and was delightful.

I have been to Bohemian Brewery once before my visit today, I was impressed then and I still am today. While I was hungover and couldn't think of ordering beer today I do love their beers and buy them frequently. The building is adorable and I was seated right next to the fireplace. The gentlemen that seated us explained that they don't even own a freezer so they don't have that fake food and everything is fresh. Our waiter greeted us promptly and made sure we were well taken care of the entire visit. I had the grilled veggie sandwich and it might have just been my current physical condition but I was blown away by the combination of mushrooms veggies and the perfect amount of cheese. The fries are really good too. I want to come here for Sunday brunch soon.

Honestly I have gone to the Bohemian forever, and frequently as well. I love the place and really like the food. It is Christmas, and I should know better than to visit any restaurant this time of year, but we had been shopping all day and just wanted to go to a familiar place and not be faced with cooking-we were definitely tired. So, usually when you get the check back, your card is on top, but not this time, so I missed it. I was all the way across town when I realized my card was missing and had to drive all the way back in the freezing rain to the restaurant. When we got back, we were definitely perturbed that they had not given our card back, but when the manager ( I really think it was the owner) came out she basically said it was all our fault and started to argue with us. I have worked in restaurants and hotels all my life, and seriously, if I had started an argument with a customer, even if it was their fault, I wouldn't have had my job for long. People pay high prices in places like restaurants and hotels for the service. We know how to cook-sometmes we just want someone else to do it, and the dishes, and treat us really nice. So that's it. I only offer it as a tidbit. I'm done because I expect to be served in service businesses. I'm not hating, just offering a suggestion that if you value service you maybe should take your business elsewhere.

Went at an off time after arriving in town. Service was fine, not great but not horrible. I ordered the pork schnitzle with spatzle instead of the normal sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes. They were fine but nothing special. They give a thin white lemony sauce that wasn't much of anything other than lemon. I definitely missed having a nice hunter's gravy covering everything. A lot of the combinations on the menu seemed a bit odd. Portion sizes are substantial. I also had the oktoberfest beer which, like the food, was fine but nothing special.

Been here several times and here are the lessons I have learned. Don't overlook the specials. The desserts on special are fabulous. The soups, as strange as some sound, are super tasty. My favorites are their garlic fries, SPÄTZLE, pirogies, fish n chips and the pear salad. One odd thing to note however is the wings, the bones in our wings were all broken up and it was a bit tiresome dealing with wing shrapnel. I get a kick out of their naming convention of beer sizes. They only have a few beers but the few they have are done really well.

Ended a great vacation with an awesome meal here! I love the dark-lit, no frills atmosphere they have going on. My boyfriend, Alex, and I decided to sit at the bar since there was a long wait for a regular table & that ended up making our experience even better than I think it would have been at a table. The bar is nice and big, made of some kind of beautiful wood. Alex and I both ordered a beer to kick off our meals & both liked our choices. I had a light, summery beer that was very tasty. For actual food I went with the pork schnitzel with a side of spaetzle. This was awesome, the pork had good flavor with a nice crispy crust. The spaetzle was also good...a little chewy, but tasty nonetheless. Alex went with his go-to choice of a rueben and it was good as well. Good portion of corned beef sandwiched between some quality toasted bread. By sitting at the bar, we ended our meal by starting up a conversation with a few of the people who had come to the bar on their own...this was the highlight of the night for me! We met one guy from Texas who was vacationing on his own to get some skiiing in, one local guy who was a frequent visitor of the brewery from what I gathered, and another local who explained the proposed gondola link between Brighton and The Canyons. All of them were hilarious and very enjoyable to chat with. The bartender we had also provided some great service...didn't bug us too much and was quick & efficient. I will definitely come back here next time I head out to Salt Lake City for some skiing...my fingers will be crossed that I can miss the inversion next time though!!!

From a Polish/German girl, this is some great delicious bohemian food. Schnitzel, red cabbage and spaetzel were all tasty. The beers are THE best in Utah and can hold their own in comparison to the rest of the country. Service was friendly and quick. Explanations of the beer and food from Fred was so helpful. If you are in salt lake you should make it a point to eat and drink at the Bohemian!

Cody M.
The food was decent but overpriced. But this really isn't what bothered me. A big group of us went to Bohemian to celebrate a friends going away party. It felt like the server was rushing us and he was rude. To top it off we were notified that another party had arrived that apparently reserved the table and we were asked to leave to clear the table for the other party. We had a nearly full pitcher of beer left when we were hurried out of the restaurant. I will not be a patron at this restaurant again.

I've been to a lot of breweries down in San Diego county and they all had great food and beer. Bohemian is one of my favorites. The service is amazing, the servers are super friendly and helpful, especially when you don't know which beer to order. If you want a good specialized burger, their garlic burger is to die for.

Have been to the Bohemian a couple types in the last month, enjoyable experience each time. They specialize in German food, Schnitzel, Brats, etc food I am particularly fond of, to go along with the food they have a full bar and their house made beers. The first time we went we were there for the food, the wife getting the Schnitzel and me getting the Brats. The food was tasty but maybe a bit over priced. One thing the two of us really enjoy is German Spatzel, I found theirs to be good but the wife was not impressed, I would say Siegfried's Delicatessen is better.. The second time we went we stopped for drinks and appetizers. We got the potato pancakes which came with applesauce and sour cream, they were OK. We also got an order of wings, the wife enjoyed them but I was not too impressed. The order was good sized at a reasonable price but came with a sweet BBQ sauce, I would prefer a more traditional spicy wing sauce. The beers at the Bohemian are good, I enjoyed the Cherny Boch and a couple of the other options.

Tell me if you have heard this one before: I guy from Portland walks into a brewery in Utah. No, there really isn't any more to that. But have you heard that one before? Probably not... And yet, being away from the land of froth and coffee and doing some work in the Hinterlands of Utah the next day, I find myself here after a recommendation from the clerk at the hotel. So my coworker and I head over. The place wasn't very busy, but it is 2:30 in the afternoon. We sit down and look at what is on tap. Curiously, they only make lagers here. Granted, they are all brewed here, but they are all lagers. Something I haven't run into in Portlandia, the proud home of every hoppy ale known to mankind. So I go for the pilsner, and my companion in crime goes for the hefeweizen. I must say, the pilsner was pretty good, albeit a bit weak (I think due to some weird ass Utah brewing laws), while the hefe was right on point, with nice hints of clove and banana. Quite impressive actually. The server asked if we wanted a glass or mug, and we went for the mug. And it came in a 1 liter glass stein (think Oktoberfest in Munich). Didn't see that coming... The food was pretty good. I don't remember what my coworker got, but I had the bratwurst and Pierogis . Man, that was really tasty. The ingredients were fresh, the cooking was done well, and the plate was overloaded. Pretty decent food. I am a big man, and I couldn't finish it. Then again, I had a liter of beer rumbling around in my tummy, so that may have played a part. If you are in that part of SLC (I don't know what part it is...I just get my way around through GPS, and it was with some number crossed with another number) you should check it out. PS: To the guy with a party of 60: Did you rent out the entire building? I hope you at least made reservations ahead of time...

I guess the food was good but maybe the Bohemian style just doesn't suite me well. The place always looks busy so that probably speaks volumes over my review. I had a beer a brat and thought it was decent but nothing that I would write home about.

Everything seems a little blurry after going through a few pitchers beers that night, so I hope I can remember all the details. We came here with a group of "mostly" guys to support the Yelp Eats event. The group got a little too big for the patio, so we ended up sitting upstairs. Our waitress for the night was excellent and she took very good care of us. Despite each of us choosing a single item from each of the category, there were waaaay too much food per person. I got the Buffalo Wings, Brat Sandwich, and Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes, but I was pretty full after my appetizer. (Perhaps the portion size were meant for you to threw up after drinking too much then start eating again? :P) The Buffalo Wings were decent, and it was extremely sour like most places. Brat Sandwich tasted good as well, but I thought it was a little too "cheesy". For desserts, the Chocolate Hazelnuts Crepes was delicious, as the chocolate and nut flavors just mixed perfectly. As for beer, we tried the Bavarian, Viennese, and Cherny Bock. The Bavarian was light and refreshing especially after adding lemon flavor to it. Viennese had a dark roasting taste to it. Cherny Bock is reserved beer for the manly men, and it is just wrong to not get the manly size for this beer.

Ate here for the first time last night. We were a huge group so service was a little slow but our waitress did great overall. Food was great, beer was great. Their garlic fries are possibly the best fries I've ever had. Definitely want to go back

I came here for my birthday dinner last November. I was painfully underwhelmed. For starters, maybe I would have been a little bit more objective and forgiving had it not been on my birthday. I didn't really want to come here, but my mother's boyfriend had purchased tickets to a beer and food pairing here and decided she couldn't back out. The staff here were nice. They were accommodating and hands on considering they had several other guests to cater to. The first food that we started off with was some kind of Wisconsin Cheese Soup. I actually really liked this dish, and had everything been as good I probably would have enjoyed it that much more. But that's where the good review ends because everything else was either cold or seriously lacking in flavor. We had some sort of meat, that was so uninspiring that I can't even remember what it was. However I remember that it was incredibly salty and lukewarm upon arrival. I didn't finish it, nor do I finish anything else for that matter. As somewhere that prides themselves on producing really good German food, they seriously fall very short. Perhaps I will give them the benefit of the doubt seeing as it was a very crowded night for them but I seriously can't imagine a vast improvement from November 2012. There are so many other great places to eat.

I enjoyed the schnitzel but wish it came with a little sauce. The pork cutlet they provided was HUGE--enough for 2 meals. The pierogies and brats were ok but I thought the pierogies were a little too doughy, not light and dainty like how I prefer. I ate at Bohemian Brewery on a Friday night and even though it as quite busy, the service was still attentive and food came in a reasonable time. The restaurant is quite a drive from my home so I don't think I'll make the effort to come out for their so-so food. I do enjoy buying their beers (in cans) at the grocery store and enjoyed the varieties available at the brewery that I haven't tried before.

I can't go into The Bohemian without singing along to the song made famous by Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, simply stating that he "uses antlers in all of his decorating." Now that I've set the mood for you all, let me tell you why The Bohemian has been a staple for me since I discovered the beauty that is a pint of Cherny Bock, and garlic fries with their house aioli. Firstly, I like beer. I'm Australian, which would lead you to believe that I've been known to have a drink or two, and you would be correct. In my formative years I liked the lighter stuff, now - no matter how cold or hot it is outside, or if I am feeling team Jedi or Sith - I like my beers like I like my soul: dark and broody. The Cherny will not disappoint any lover of a good dark beer, and the standards that The Bohemian brews to are that of German purity, which means you're getting an excellent pour every time. Along with the Cherny, The Bohemian has three other staples, the Viennese Lager, a Czech Pilsner, and the Bavarian Weiß. Not to be outdone by the other local brewers, The Bohemian also has a rotating Seasonal Brew, so be sure to ask what that is to see if there's something other than "the usual" that will tantalise your tastebuds. Now that we have the most important part out of the way, let's move on to the food. Most people will argue that there are many good garlic burgers to be found in SLC, and you may find that my next statement is a big call - but I stand by it - there's only one, and you'll find it here. The Bohemian's garlic burger is magnificently prepared every time and usually served cooked medium. Along with the moist and delicious burger, you'll get peppered bacon, cheddar cheese, the usual toppings (tomato/lettuce/onion), and a side of the most magnificent garlic fries in the land. It's real garlic, not powder, it doesn't come with a hockey puck for a patty, and the onion roll is delicious. The Bohemian has a house made aioli that some may refer to as "fry sauce" but it's lighter and tastier to me than a lot of the other sauces in the land of Zion. It doesn't just stop here though, the salads are HUGE, their wood fired pizzas are tasty, the goulash is delicious, and their Bratwurst and Pierogi plate is to die for. Oh, and try a side of Spaetzle with your next meal, I promise it will end up having a special place in your heart next to your grown-up love of Mac & Cheese. All in all, The Bohemian doesn't disappoint in my eyes, my belly, nor my wallet, and they even have a scooter museum upstairs along with great space for large groups. Go Czech them out ;)

This place has the best pork schnitzel I've ever had, also the beer is pretty tasty I come here every time I'm in the Salt Lake City area for work. Also their walls are lined with some funny pictures

I've been here several time and the service and food was always great. However, today was a little bit disappointing. Service was a bit slow, but at the end she made it up. The halibut tasted a bit old. I don't know if it was the oil or what. It wasn't as fresh as it normally is. I will come back though. The previous experiences I've had, have been on point.

I saw a few promising reviews so I got the boys to go here for dinner. We didn't realize that Monday Night Football was on, but that was a bonus. Some of the appetizers were 1/2 off =) and we were not complaining. Crab cakes and Roasted Garlic Bulbs to start off. Crab cakes came out very nice, and I don't think you should be able to mess up the roasted garlic. My buddy tried samples of their four signature beers and one seasonal. He settled on the Viennese Lager by the time our entrees came, and since it was the suggested pairing I tried a pint myself. As I am just starting to learn about beer, I can not say too much about it other than i really liked the flavor. Nothing too overpowering. Piergoies & Bratwurst came first sitting on top of a bed of Sauerkraut. My buddy was unable to finish all of it. He complimented the Bratwurst as being one of the best he has tried. Also he mentioned that the sauerkraut was not as tangy and did not have the bite he expected, but went well with everything. My other friend tried the special today of Red Trout stuffed with Crab and...other goodies. I didn't hear much from him since he was deep into his meal and big mug of Viennese Lager, but I got the feeling he was enjoying everything. I had the Bohemian Goulash which was quite filling. Rich flavors and wonderful bread. Almost too rich for me and I had to skip desert. I hope I took a picture... As I was recovering an order was placed for the Bread Pudding. It was as beautiful as it sounded in the menu and did not last very long. Hopefully I get to try some next time and can comment on it. All I really got was "Oh this is good, you have to try some..." and then it was gone. Some people mentioned problems with parking, but we were lucky tonight. Lot is a bit interesting though. I really liked the feel I got inside. Very welcoming. Some of the decorations were playful, most just seemed to fit the lodge feeling. We ended up by the fireplace and it was a bit too warm, but will be much appreciated in the months to come. Great attentive service tonight. Everything flowed smoothly, seeming to come at just the right time. Our servers suggestions and comments helped us to decide which way to go and were spot on...very thankful for her help. I would gladly come back here and bring others so they can experience great food and good beer at a place so comfortable you just don't want to leave.

Great food, with a wide selection of beers. Tends to get pretty busy on the weekends, but there's a great atmosphere. Service can be slow, so prepare to settle in, but it's worth it. If you get a chance check out the vintage Vespas on the second floor.

I've been to BoBrew several times, and I always have a good experience. Great location, plenty of parking, friendly service, great beer selection, decent food, eclectic and fun atmosphere - what's not to like? If you're coming for the beer, you won't be disappointed. Their brews are pretty tasty. My personal favorite is the Bavarian Weiss with a hunk of fresh orange. If you're undecided, you can sample any brew for a very acceptable price. Other draught size choices are also reasonably priced. The food is plentifully plated, and average on the price scale. They serve a lovely Pear Salad - my favorite thing on the menu. I've had other salads which were also worthy, but I can't seem to stay away from the Pear. They have many meat dishes, which are a bit heavy for me (ie. the Schnitzel, Meatloaf and Goulash - all good but very hefty). Hubby likes their burgers, and often defaults to the Buffalo Burger complete with BACON and gorgonzola! Their apps and sides are highlights - if you miss the Gilroy roasted garlic with tomato tapenade and bruschetta-type bread, I feel bad for you. It's a treat for garlic lovers! The garlic fries are also delightfully garlicky and wonderful - served with a good aioli dipping sauce. The beer-battered onion rings are great as well, but are occasionally a bit greasy. I would recommend checking with your server to see when they last changed out their fry oil before ordering them. Skip the crab cakes, the quesadilla, and the caprese apps. I'm not sure why they are still serving these, because they're so far out of their genre. They don't do them well. When ordering, keep in mind where you are, and their associated specialties, and you'll do just fine. But venture into their faux-Mexitalianish choices, and you'll likely regret it like I have. That being said, I've never tried their pizza. Keeping in mind the previous warning, I'm never tempted. I've also never been for brunch. I hear quite mixed reviews, so I'm not rushing to brunch it up here. BB hosts and attends a lot of biker-centric events. There are always many bikes lined up in the parking lot, and bikers lined up at the bar. Their beer has also won a lot of national and local awards. My theory is, if the biker crowd loves the beer it must be good! I do have a gripe about the menus at BoBrew - there are just so many misspellings. It's a big pet peeve of mine. Seriously, who designs and prints these menus? How many people are involved? Because unless it's a lone 3rd grader, they should be ashamed of themselves. It's bad, but it won't keep me from their wares. Lass es dir schmecken!

Won't be back. The fries were garlicky all right, but they looked and tasted like McDonald's fries! Lame. The nachos were DRY - no salsa, guac, pico de gallo, nothing! Cheese, black olives, a few beans (literally), and sour cream. Terrible! All other breweries in SLC put this place to shame.

The dark beer at Bohemian is fantastic! Lots of great food too. The atmosphere is awesome and very warm--with a nice fireplace in the middle of the dining area to boot. Overall I was super impressed with the beer (brewed in-house, of course) and the fantastic selection of German-style appetizers and entrees. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

I have been here multiple times either just for drinks or for dinner and drinks and each time is superb. It's nice to just sit and hang out at the bar and the bartenders have always been friendly. I tend to stick to favorites, but the bartender kindly gave me little samples to try other beers when I tried to venture out (and was kindly not charged the .50 cents as I should have been for each sample). There hasn't been a beer that I didn't like there, but I do tend to order and enjoy the Pilsner every time. I love garlic fries, and I love garlic fries at Bohemian. I could eat an entire plate as a meal and be completely satisfied. Always get the fries! No complaints about their nacho plate as an appetizer, but it gets a bit pricey just to add some chicken to it. What I always crave here is their plate of Peirogies and Bratwurst. It's usually too much food for me to finish in one sitting (as much as I want to) so there are always leftovers. The brats are delicious and who doesn't love cheesy potato peirogies? I love all the flavors together with a little bit of sauerkraut, dill sauce, and topped with the bacon bits and onions. YUM! In the warmer months, it's also nice to sit out on the patio. It doesn't have the greatest view (looks directly onto the parking lot), but it's just nice to be outside. The service has never been an issue here and everyone has always been friendly and attentive.

Lexi S.
Pretty good food and pretty good beer. I thought the prices were high for the food and I thought the flavor profile was lacking a bit in the beer department. A bit too one-note for me. The atmosphere picks up some points and would like to come back for the patio when it warms up. I wouldn't rule it out in a pinch, but it didn't knock my Bavarian socks off.

Ah, the Bohemian Brewery! One of my favorite places to go. The beer selection is not huge; they focus mainly on their signature beers, so unless a seasonal is available, they tend to only have the main four, but they have plenty of other very delicious drinks. I have never had a poor server at this place. In fact, I can say, hands down, that I had the best waiter I've ever had in my life at this place, and let me tell you why. I went here for the brunch on Father's Day and I ordered pancakes and the biscuits with brat gravy (yeah, I know... I had a carb-fest, but we were celebrating). Anyways, the waiter was always on top of everything I could possibly need. There was even one point where I thought to myself, "Hmm, I could have used more gravy on my biscuits." Then suddenly, out of nowhere the waiter appeared with a bowl of gravy and stated, "When I walked by, I noticed your biscuits were looking a little bare, would you like more gravy?" I was very pleased when we left that day. The food has always been very good, we've even ordered things from the lunch menu when it was dinner rush and the staff has gone above and beyond to make every visit a great time.

Seeing as it's nearly impossible to find German food in...well, anywhere, I was very surprised to find this place a few years ago in Salt Lake City. Came back recently with my family and it was still as delicious as I remember. The food is great, sauerkraut is amazing and I love that they fry their spätzle. They have many delicious beers on tap as well and I love the lodge decor this place has with the big fire place and faux 'hops' hanging above the bar. More importantly though, the service was excellent! Our waiter must be like the Christoph Waltz of Utah because he was very talkative and charismatic with his German accent. He was also trying to be as helpful and informative as possible about the food and beer. Definitely knew his stuff! I've only been here twice but both times were great. I absolutely love German fare since I grew up eating it so I supposed you could say I'm a bit biased. It's also nice that they offer that along with a pretty wide variety of other eats like pizzas, burgers and what not. Can't wait to come back to this place next time I'm in Salt Lake though!

Visited while on a work trip and saw the good reviews. The menu looked great- German and Polish food. I ended up getting the chicken with brandy sauce which wAs very good. I had the darkest beer they had, it was good. The bartender was very nice and I liked the atmosphere- like being in log cabin. I would go back next time in town.

Went here for an event recently, and will NOT be going back. From the moment we walked in, the hostess, the server standing there flirting with her, and some older woman who showed us to the patio, all acted like we were honored to be let in to such an establishment. There were about 60 of us in a party, and we were treated rudely, and have no intention to come back. The food was good, but not as good as they think, once you look at the prices. An order of nachos with chicken with a single beer was $29. Plenty of other places that are better, for less.

My favorite place to eat out! Take that as you will. My boyfriend first took me here for my birthday and now it is our most frequented restaurant on our nights out. We are never disappointed. Our bills is usually around $60 or 70 (including tip) for a full meal for two adults along with beers for refreshment. A good price and well worth the money. The beers and menu items are beyond amazing. Rest assured, it will undoubtedly be a visit with consistent mouthgasms while you was there. Friendly and attentive wait staff as well.

Time for an update? Yah, probably. This visit was another wonderful one. The patio was delightful. The service was spot on! We got our food quickly and our water glasses were always full... and our own wine bottle ($10 corkage) was openend almost immediately upon our arrival. Since it was "Yelp Eats" time, we ate waaaayyyy toooo much!! Holy Smokes! I had the wings and Lisa got the garlic bulb as our apps. The bbq wings were really good. They were prepared very well and doused in a really good, tangy, not too sweet, bbq sauce. I prefer mine spicy Buffalo style, but I still ate them all. Lisa really liked the garlic thingy, but I thought it was sort of bland. The entrees: chicken wrap for Lisa and goulash for me. YUMM!!! Loved them both! And, since we were full from the appies, we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Lisa swore she didn't like crepes, but I (with some help from our waiter) assured her that she must have never had GOOD crepes. We got 1 choco-hazelnut and 1 raspberry. Delicious! And Lisa now LOVES crepes! These guys are good!!

The Bohemian is one of my favorite local restaurants that I frequent. They make a great reuben sandwich and the garlic fries are always tasty. The wait can be long on the weekends, even if you make a reservation and the last time I ate there the server spilled warm cream sauce on my jacket and ignored our table for most of the rest of the evening. I usually stick to take out- 4 stars though just based on the food quality.

Went here on a slow night after a week camping in Moab. The beers (although only 4% alcohol) were the best micros I tasted in Utah. The sandwich plates came with garlic fries for only 9 bucks and were dinner sized and delicious. Nice atmosphere, nice people, I'd highly recommend this spot over a chain restaurant. Try the nachos and the grilled chicken sandwich.

Finally, after more than ten years I was able to try this restaurant! Sorry I did not do it sooner. We had a large group - 6 adults and 6 kids - and contrary to Yelp's quick information, this restaurant is fine for kids - kids menu and kid friendly! Menu not only included all standard pub fare (from fish and chips to burgers and sandwiches), but some great German and European specialties: schnitzel, gulash, sauerkraut, etc. Desserts were also good (especially the strudel) and the fresh smoothies for kids. We had lunch, and at the end of the day had a light dinner because lunch was so filling and good.

The food was pretty good. I enjoyed my chicken but generally tasteless. The beers all tasted the same. This was my first experience with Utah beer. We went to Squatters later in the week and the beer was far superior. The waitstaff was okay, she seemed to let us linger when we ordered a pitcher of beer.

Lured by the prospect of good pierogi, my girlfriend and I fell right into this tourist trap of a restaurant. We left, $59 dollars lighter, filled with regret and mediocre food. Our server was friendly but inept. We asked to substitute something for a Bratwurst side on the pierogi but they messed it up. We ended up with a breaded chicken (without the peirogi), for which they charged $17! Horrible. I ordered the Reuben and got a BLT. Vegetables seemed cooked from a can. The beer was good but not good enough to redeem to redeem the food. This was one of the rare cases where we considered leaving no tip. We did, though, and just put the experience behind us. In short, the ambiance was a nice change but the service poor, and the overpriced food even worse. Leave this place to the foreign exchange students and settle for a box of frozen Ms. T's.

We had dinner here twice during our vacation and really enjoyed it. We tried the sampler to help us figure out what beer we wanted, for 50 cents a glass it was worth it. The Viennese was fabulous. The food was good. Quite a variety, everything from burgers to brats. The pierogi, sauerkraut and brat plate was hearty and delicious. The burgers were good and the haddock did not disappoint. We ate at the bar and found the bartender to be friendly and attentive. The last time we were here was 5 years ago. We were happy to see at the restaurant was still here and thriving.

Great food and good portions for the price. I totally recommend getting the beer sampler if you have a large group of people. It's 50 cents for a pretty big shot glass, sharable between 2-6 people. For appetizers, I recommend the garlic fries and the cauli-cakes (cauliflower cakes). We went before dinner time so service wasn't that great. They didn't come with water until maybe 5-10 minutes after we were seated.

Best brunch in and around SLC! The bratwurst gravy can go on anything. I'd pay for a 5 gallon bucket of it just to have it at home to put on everything. Outstanding schnitzel. I lived in Germany while in the army, and miss German food. This place fills the void quite well! I suggest this place for Sunday brunch.

I had the seasonal beer (Zoigl) and it was delicious. For dinner I had the Goulash and it was tasty, a bit more fat than I would prefer (I would have trimmed this off if I was cooking it). The music was a great selection of blues. Overall a great experience. And I would go back. Really? You guys charge 50 cents for a sample of beer???

Mmmmm...oh how I love to go BoHo! Last night was my third visit to Bohemian Brewery, and service and food have been consistent every time. I always get the garlic fries, which come in a giant basket with dipping sauce (when ordered as an appetizer). I have had the garlic burger, and it's mighty tasty...and fragrant. Don't eat this if you plan to impress anyone with your scent for the next 12 hours. It's rich and meaty and one of the best garlic burgers I've ever tasted. I like their pork schnitzel, beef goulash, and pierogies and bratwurst. I'm not an alchy, but my brother swears by the Bohemian Brews. He gets the biggest glass he can get when he dines in, and often brings the house brews home in cans. I've yet to try the desserts at BB because I always am stuffed American by the time I finish my meal. I hear good things about the bread pudding, however. I live a few blocks away, so I know I'll be coming back for more soon.

I've been to Bohemian several times, but the most recent visit was for Yelp Eats. In the past, the chicken paprikash has been a favorite. Deep, spiced flavor with some nicely cooked chicken and some butter-drenched spaetzle as a side. It is as delicious as it sounds. I'll go back to Bohemian sometime to try it again. The last visit, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I tried: - roasted garlic appetizer - goulash - fruit dumplings - chocolate hazelnut crepes Yes, that's two desserts. Yes, I was alone. Yes, I felt like a bit of a pig afterward. The roasted garlic appetizer was the standout of the meal. Such a simple idea: two entire bulbs of garlic, roasted in oil, and served with toast points that seemed to each take up half a loaf of bread they were so large and a small bowl of bruschetta. Clean, fresh tastes with garlic at the forefront. Solid A. The goulash felt a tad cheap. Some rather tough cubes of beef swimming in a vat of heavy, paprika-drenched gravy so large I could have done the backstroke in it. No real nuance here, just paprika and a real dearth of protein. Dessert wasn't much better. The dumplings were airy but filled with what appeared to be canned apple pie filling. The crepes themselves were good, though very small. I don't wish to cast aspersions on a business that welcomed Yelpers to taste their wares for half price, but it seems that my experience with Yelp Eats this year seemed to fall into two categories: places like Wild Grape that killed the fatted calf and put their best items on display, and places like Bohemian who offered the cheapest items possible. I get that there is a business at work here, but the second strategy seems ill-conceived. That being said, go there and try the chicken paprikash. You'll have had a much better meal than my last one.

For a restaurant that specialized in this cuisine I was surprised at the lack of flavor. The first time I dined here, I heard good things about the meatloaf, so I was shocked when mine was flavorless, as if someone forgot to season it. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were also blah. I have dined here twice and think there is a consistency problem. The first time I shared a brew masters basket (a bunch of fried food); it was very good and the halibut was delicious. However, I returned a second time because the basket was so good, but it was greasy and poorly fried. The reuben sandwich had thin soggy bread and a surprisingly small amount of pastrami and sauerkraut. Given the theme of the restaurant, a poor reuben is unacceptable. As for the beer, I could take it or leave it.

They very clearly have spent a lot of money on the interior of this place and that part is quite enjoyable. Service also tends to be very good and the beer is also pretty solid. However, the food is kind of...I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's not bad or anything, but neither is it good. I went in really wanting to like this place, which definitely seems to have a sort of Slavic theme to it, but that type of food has historically been somewhat lost on me. I suppose that could be the real problem here; I can't quite tell if what they're doing is authentic or not, though I'm guessing it's at least close. It just doesn't ring any bells with my palate and wound up being somewhat forgettable overall. I wouldn't mind trying this place out again, but I wouldn't seek it out, either. If anything, this to me, is the very definition of a 3 star experience overall.

Atmosphere is great. I always give establishments the benefit of the doubt, however, I have to comment on my experience at the Bohemian tonight. Staff was nice and we got seated quickly. We ordered the wings which were amazing. Served in the right amount of time. I ordered the ahi tuna salad. I normally order that anywhere I go, but this time it was foul. The instant I had it in my mouth it was overpoweringly fishy and metallic at the same time. Ahi has almost a filet mignon consistency and flavor to it, but this time that was not the case. I ordered the steak salad instead which was fabulous however I was quite surprised that I was charged for it. In the same time I'm waiting for my salad another server dropped a plate of marinara infused mushroom which spotted my tan pants. The server did not ask anyone in the vicinity if they were ok and proceed to hurriedly clean up the plate and walk away. I hate complaining! But this time I just was disappointed that A. I wasn't asked if my pants were ruined and B. I wasn't compensated in any way shape or form for having to endure a rotten bite of fish! Other than that, will I return? Possibly, but I will never order fish from here again.

Went to here last night for the third time and I like it every time. The good is very good (especially the garlic burger or the shrimp scampi) and the beer is excellent. I am not a huge fan of very dark beers but I really liked theirs. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is that the service can be really slow.

We eat here whenever we remember the place is here. Seriously, we were trying to eat at any restaurant at Fashion Place Mall but couldn't find parking. (No, it wasn't Black Friday) so I remembered the Bohemian Brewery. The food is awesome! This time I had the Chicken Paprikash. Tasted just like mom used to make (I grew up in a German household). If you are looking for truly authentic, there are better places, but their take on German food is excellent. But that wasn't the best part. We were mezmerized by our waiter. Never had we experience such service! It was like he was clairvoiant. He would show up with items before we had a chance to ask for them! He was speedy, knowledgeable, efficient, accurate, thoughtful, and German. Yes, we got to speak a little of the mother tongue. He actually started it when he realized I was ordering German food items without an American accent. His name is Fred and I suggest you ask for him. Truly spectacular service.

This was this site of the highly successful and entertaining Bros who Brunch: Part Deux. Despite being highly recommended, I still hadn't been here till our Yelp event. Its a huge restaurant and has a very log cabin feel about it, right down to the nice rock fireplace in the middle. It seems that they brew their own beer and there was a guy pruning some sort of parking lot vineyard they have. Does this mean they have exhaust flavored red wine too? Maybe I'll figure that out on the next visit. I was there for their Saturday/Sunday brunch. It was 11am and the place was mostly empty. It is in the suburbs and I find that people with life partners and child(rens) often don't brunch it up much. So this could be the best kept secret in brunching in the SL Valley. The brunch menu is limited to a handful of dishes. Between most everyone at the table, I was able to see the majority of the brunch menu dishes. The presentation and portions were outstanding. I personally had the Eggs Florentine. It was served with diced potatoes and fruit. The dish was thoughtfully put together with fresh spinach and a very rich hollandaise sauce. One area that is often left behind are the potatoes. They were diced with peppers and they actually had taste to them which is something void from most breakfast potatoes. I need to try some of the brews they make on site. I was a little modest with that brunch outing. The waitress was unaware of the proper way to make a "beermosa" but she seemed to learn fast. I'm looking forward to going back to try the delicious looking french toast. I'm also looking forward to drinking some of the locally made beer and maybe something from their parking lot vineyard if there is such a smoky exhausty wine.

I finally made it over to the Bohemian for the first time in quite awhile. I suppose I should get down to "Southern Utah" more often because there are quite a few good restaurants, this being one of them. On this particular occasion, I went with the verona sandwich. I recognize that this is kind of a summery dish and it *was* snowing outside, but it worked for me! The prosciutto and mozzarella were super fresh and tasty, and I was a huge fan of the garlic fries. I dined here in the company of a large group, and everyone else seemed very pleased with their various entrees. Unfortunately, I'm not a beer fan, so I didn't sample any. They did have a nice wine list for a brewpub, though. Most everyone else in the group had beer, and seemed universally pleased with their selections. Service was good, though occasionally slow. Prices seemed a bit high, but it's all good. This place is a good one to go to for a nice change of pace.

My boyfriend and I really enjoy this place for date night. We always sit at the bar and have Mel serve us if she is there. They have a good selection of beer and other drinks. The plates are hearty and we can often get away with sharing something. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the seasonal brews and regular brews on tap. Everything on the menu seems to be made fresh and made to order. It is delicious everytime we go.

I came to SLC thinking this place was going to suck.. Well first night I dropped by Bohemian Brewery and was pretty impressed. Food was awesome I Had there Chicken Pesto Pizza along with there Heffeweisen beer and was impressed. There beer was decent but I am not used to the laws of Utah that do not allow strong imperial beers which I would of loved to have especially being at a brewery.

This place isn't bad at all. The inside looks like a cabin. There's nothing wrong with cabins. I honestly wish I brought my snuggie so I could have cozied up by the fire and ate my perogies and bratwurst while watching re-runs of Friends. I would have said Mad About You but even I can't play THAT effeminately. We came here after stopping by Buffalo Wild Wings and there was a 90 minute wait. This joint is literally 5 minutes away from there and is much more my pace. They have Bohemian Micro brews for you beer connoisseurs, as well as a full bar. My friends got two different burgers and were very pleased with them. Neither were able to finish their meals as the dishes were very large. Our waitress was very kind and attentive and it was also a quiet experience, which I personally enjoy for brunch on a Saturday morning. I believe I'll be bringing other friends back to visit this joint. Prices were average for an above average experience.

If you're a fan of German cuisine and microbrew, then Bohemian is the place to go. It provides a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place for kids as well. My favorites on the menu are: Pirogies and Brats, Garlic Fries, Onion Rings, and Potato Pancakes.

Me and my Mom and Grandparents went here the other day for lunch. The ambiance inside the restaurant is really cute. The food was great. I love their German food, I had brats with mashed potatoes and saurkraut. Very yummy! The beer was also quite delicious. The bread they serve on the table is divine. This is definitely a fun place to go.

Julie K.
Four stars cause I like their beer. Three for their food. The Pirogies and Sausages were worth the ranting and raving seen elsewhere on this forum. For those who avoid meat they have some decent pizzas that can be modified to fit your tastes. But really its about the beer. Try the Cherney Bock.

I came here on the recommendation of the hotel I was staying at on a recent business trip. It was late when I got here, so the restaurant was uncrowded and the bar seemed to be where all the action was. My server and the other crew were friendly, although they seemed a little preoccupied with possibly closing up for the night. I tried a house salad, which was delicious with the house dressing, and the salmon, which was outstanding. It was moist and flavorful and the glaze was the true topper. The staff had no problem giving me all steamed veggies with my meal instead of a potato or rice. The portion was huge and hit the spot for me, a hungry traveler who had not eaten all day. A great find! Wish I would have tried the beer, but I was in the mood for a cocktail instead, and it also hit the spot.

How have I not heard of this place? I really don't understand why I didn't make it here sooner. The Bohemian Brewery made my night with their delicious food. My party tried some garlic fries and they were great, so I decided to go all in with the garlic burger that did not disappoint. My wife had one of the pizzas and I was very impressed, they are pretty big for an individual serving. Drinking a giant beer inside this cabin like setting had me feeling like a real man, if for only an hour.

The food is okay - nothing spectacular - but the service has been horrid every time. We're talking apathetic, unhelpful servers who have a tendency to disappear for up to 20-30 minutes at a time. On one of my visits, my friends and I were literally the only table in the restaurant, so I'm not really sure what was so difficult about merely checking in. The Bohemian isn't the worst dining experience I've ever had, but man. I've been there a few times now, and I keep thinking it will get better next time. I'm sad to say there most likely won't be a next time, though.

The food was ok. Not particularly bad - not particularly memorable. I really want to give a brewery in Mormon-town more stars. They have a habit of ruining beer here by selling it in a version that is only 3% alcohol and tastes funny. I have to give them credit: Their beer was good.... and that was the most important part of my visit. 3.5 STARS.

Starts from the frenzy of the crazy parking lot that we ended up parking in a dirt parking lot. Then inside we waited for another 20 minutes, waaaay overcrowded. With all the people you would think the food is amazing. I honestly heard about this horseradish that of course had run out. We ordered the brats and some other stuff people raved about but nothing worth craving over in the future and way too overpriced. I really dont get the draw here.Did i miss something? oh and yes. i had the beer, meh.

Ahm, the food is decent and the service was decent. I wasn't raging over this place but then I had the garlic fries which I can say that they were pretty awesome. I was starving and the food filled that void. The pizza's that I saw looked like they had some heart and soul poured into them so maybe if I go there again I'll try that. 3 stars.

Yelp Eats finally brought me here, though I've driven by and wondered about it a plethora of times. The servings were gigantic. I got the garlic fries and the goulash and ending up taking most of it home because I was so full. The fries were fantatic! Who cares if I tasted them clear until mid the next day. Worth it. The goulash had just a hint of the hot spice, which was perfect for me. Not having had real goulash before I wasn't really sure what to expect. It was definitely meat heavy. I guess I thought there'd be more vegetables in it. But it was very tasty. Thankfully I didn't order a dessert because I got to taste one of everything from everyone elses plates and they were ALL good. The atmosphere and decor were fun and they let us stay and talk as long as we wanted. Our server even came out and checked on us way after his shift was over. I guess we were there for a while! Service was great. All in all, a good place for a manly meal. I can do that sometimes too.

Really hate to re-review this place, since it's just a few blocks away from where I live and they have great beer. But I had one of the worst dining experiences ever on my last visit, on a quiet Sunday morning. In short: -Floating gnats in my water. Several gnats -No apology for the gnats -20 minutes for a replacement water -Half of my table's food came out 10 minutes before the other half -My food was cold, as was other folks' at the table -After asking the server for ketchup, Tabasco, etc, they didn't make their way to our table for 15 minutes -We asked our checks to be separated, and they were. Just with all the items jumbled. I had my main dish on mine, but someone else's drink and yet another person's appetizer. All of the bills were like this. Their prices have been on a steady climb the last couple years, so I can't justify going here with that level of service.

LOTS OF FOOD! I have been here twice. Each time I forget. LARGE PORTIONS! Well maybe its a normal portion size with SUPER HEAVY FOOD! The beer is good. No really! I know that Utah is known for their....shall we say strict alcohol laws. I can tell you as a beer lover the taste is still there! I have also had mixed drinks here and the ones that list a lot of different liquors are much stronger than expected. Let's get back to the food. I love it. Basic German grub. Don't expect to be wow'ed....BUT if spatzle is your comfort food, this is a great place for you. The brewhouse is not set up like and American bar (though they do have a bar). It is set up more like a German food/brew house. Tables are really close to each other so DON'T EXPECT PRIVACY!!

Hands down my favorite Brewery/Pub/Restaurant in Utah. For truly Bohemian food that was made to be enjoyed with only the best beer, the Bohemian is the only place to go in Utah. Personally can suggest the Pierogies & Brats, and the Goulash. My favorite beer is a seasonal unfiltered Pilsner which as good as anything you would find in Prague.

Fred is the reason we will never eat here again. He was incredibly sexist towards me. He spoke exclusively to my husband and barely acknowledged my existence. When we left, he said, "thank you sir!" like my husband was the only one that paid the bill (we split it like we usually do). Fred is a sexist pig and does not belong in the restaurant business, especially not in the front end with customers who may be female! The beer was disgusting. I have never seen my husband leave a half empty beer on the table. That is saying a lot! The food was Bohemian's only redeeming quality. It was delicious! Garlic fries were pretty tasty! A bit overpriced though...

While out with Bros who Brunch we went to Bohemian Brewery. Not too many people know this but they have a great brunch. I had the french toast. This meal came with fruit, french toast that had blueberries in between the slices of toast making every bite heaven in my mouth. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a brunch place. Some of the other guys I was with had the egg Florentine.This looked very tasty and they were some of the first to finish. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The service was great as well. I don't know if it was because it was all dudes and she was working for a better tip ;) or if the staff is really that genuine.

David M.
Haven't been here in years and thought I'd give it another try. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer but, from what I've been told, they are good tasting with a variety of flavors. I ordered the Potato Pancakes and the Pierogie's and Bratwurst. The pancakes were good, but just a bit tough. Not sure why. The pierogie's and brats were good, but didn't knock my socks off. The sauerkraut was a bit over-cooked for my taste, liking it with a bit more crunch. Bottom line....if you love a good selection of beer and want some german/bohemian meals, this is a great place. If you are looking for "to die for" german food, you might want to look elsewhere.

The Bohemian is one of those places where the waiter will usually have to return to your table 2 or 3 times before your able to decide what you want to order. There are a lot of different options on the menu and I find it difficult to decide what I'm going to get every time I come here. In the meantime I started off by sampling a few different brews in order to find a favorite that I will get in a viking size stein. Every beer they serve on tap is made on location and every one I've tried so far has been as good as if not the best that Utah has to offer. For the meal I went with the salmon salad. At first I thought it might be a little over priced at $15 but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived due to the generous sized salmon steak. It was a delicious and filling salad and tasted as fresh as could be expected. My only critique would be that the salmon was pretty overcooked. Charred on the bottom and thoroughly grilled throughout. In their defense though I didn't specify how I would have wanted it prepared. I like my salmon medium rare with an emphasis on the rare, if I had requested it that way it probably would have been perfect. Props to the Bohemian for another good meal and great experience, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the pork schnitzel.

I have been here twice. Both times the food was awesome, the beer was phenomenal, and the service was horrid. The first time the waiter was in a hurry to close down for the night. He dropped our order off and then we never saw him again. The next time we stopped in and the waiter acted put out that we were there. Both times we complained to the manager about how poor the service was. I think this place would be five stars if they could get service down.

We really wanted to like this place. Close to home, brewing their own beer... But after a number of visits over 6 months, we've come to the conclusion that the service sucks, the food is salty and the beer is the best thing going. If you're there on a good night, you'll get decent service. If it's an off night, get ready to walk out before your food ever arrives. The beers are good, but you can get better elsewhere.

I've been here a zillion times and I always like it a lot. The service is always good, the food is always good, and the beer is always good. I would say the biggest reason I'm not here more often is the fact that they have a pretty severe lack of vegetarian options (I personally don't blame them because I happen to like meat) so it's hard to go there very often when my other half doesn't partake. Most of the time I have been here with large groups, and they are always happy to accommodate, happy to split the check, and handle the groups like champs.

If it were to be judged solely on the service, then Bohemian Brewery & Grill would earn a "Two Thumbs Up" and a Gold Star, too. Add food to the equation, and I doubt the score would change. Within seconds of walking into the Bohemian for the first time, I was greeted with a smile, taken to a seat, and informed, quite pleasantly, that nothing I ate today had been bottled, canned or packaged. It was all fresh. "The only way you get better German food," he said, "is if you buy a plane ticket." Presumably, that ticket would need to land in Berlin. After eating, I had to agree. The food was great. I ordered a brat sandwich with a side of potato pancakes (no, don't ask me how potato pancakes qualify as a "side dish." I shared them, effectively halving my calorie intake for the meal to about the average for three normal people...and I am normal people). The sandwich was a sliced brat drowning in swiss cheese and sweet tasting sauerkraut on parmesan bread. It was a delicious combination and a cornucopia of flavor. I've eaten a few brats in my day. This one had more than a hint of fennel and when the contrast of the slightly salty parmesan bread was added to the equation, made for a delicious, if messy, meal. Accompanying the sandwich were garlic fries. When I say "garlic," I mean that the fries were literally flavored with fresh garlic. It was delicious, only adding to the palate of diverse flavors coming out of this meal. The only complaint I have was that as good as the fries were on the outset, and as hot as they were, as time passed they became soggy. Not too unexpected, but still, there it is. The potato pancakes were passably good. Crisp and fried on the outside and just thick enough to leave a soft mushy texture on the inside. I'll let you do the math on the calorie content of the meal. Regardless, it was enjoyable, and worthy of at least skipping a couple meals to compensate. Service: 9/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 (because the t.v.s were large and everywhere...distracting) Food: 7/10 Parking: 7/10 Eat-ability Quotient (an average of scores): 7.5/10

Nice vibe when you first enter the building...you feel like you are walking into a log cabin/ski lodge. The service is fairly friendly. However, for a brewery, you only have a choice of a scant four beers. The pilsner was pale and light, but more bitter than I like. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as advertised. The beer-battered onion rings were some of the worst things I have ever willingly put into my mouth. Though they were piping hot, they were oddly very hard and chewy (I could not even cut through them with my knife)...I suspect they were reheated. The bratwurst sandwich was strangely accompanied by lettuce and tomato, and we were given Heinz yellow mustard when we requested deli mustard! The garlic fries were of the standard battered frozen variety and were inoffensive. The chicken paprikash, rather than being juicy chunks of chicken stewed in a rich sour cream sauce perfumed by sweet and spicy paprika, was presented as a chicken cutlet paired with a strange, orange sauce devoid of any flavor. The spaetzle were ok, but rather heavier and more leaden than their competition at Vienna Bistro. One note...parking is tight in their lot...at peak times, you will have to drive over the curb and park in the adjacent sandlot.

I am not a big fan of their beer. I sampled them - They sell them in shot glasses portions which is a pretty good idea - but did not love any of them. I settle for the wheat beer but that wasn't great. The food was good though. The wings were nice, so were the fries.

Ate dinner here on a one night stay in the city, we shared the Buffalo burger and the soup of the day. Of course a few cocktails and brews. The soup a spicy corn chowder was great, one of the best I ever had. The buffalo burger was also exceptional. It was cooked perfectly with bacon and blue cheese to top it off. We also had the garlic fries which were the best i've ever had. I would give those 6 stars alone. I had a martini which was just ok and a couple glasses of wine. Hubby tried several of the micro brews, said they were good but could have been colder. The decor is very woodsy with antlers all over the place, what you would expect in this part of the country. It appeared to be filled with local as midvale isn't much of a tourist town. The service was great and all the staff were very friendly. Took some pic and i'll up load them later Maybe!

This place is top notch for authentic German food. Hands down. Ambience feels old world. Waitstaff is friendly and even had a German accent, even though I doubt all the employees do. I had the perogies with sausage and sauerkraut. That is possibly to die for, or maybe having a pinky lopped off. My wife had the schnitzel (pork) with potatoes and she said it was the closest she has had since her youth. (She spent several years in Germany as a youngin.) Oh yeah also did I mention they are a microbrewery? And that you can purchase their beer for consumption at home? They have four different types, two of which we had and they were good. Definitely coming back here if we are in the area.

We were pleasantly surprised at how good this brew pub is. Had the salmon salad, which was very good. Good portion and the same was cooked beautifully. My boyfriend had the pierogies and bratwurst and loved his meal, especially the mustard! We took home a growler because the beer was delicious. Excellent service by Alex. Highly recommend. We'll be going back. Lots of TVs for viewing your favorite sports.

Ahh the Garlic Burger... It's the gift that keeps on giving! Been here a few times, and I have yet to try the house brewskies! Will have to do that someday! But I have a favorite menu item here at Bohemian, and that is the Garlic Burger! This is a 1/2 lb, cooked to order, fresh onion bunned, cheddar cheese melted, and bacon topped burger that is quite possibly one of the best garlic burgers I have ever had! The "Gift": Now let me warn you... this burger comes with side effects. You will burp this bad boy for a few hours! (for me over 8 hours). So if you need an excuse to get away from your woman, because the stench coming from your pours and mouth is... well... tasty all over again (for both of you... ewwe OK I'll stop now), you have found your burger! But if you like your mate, shall I suggest you both get one so you can offend each other equally! Why not a 5 star? The desert! First time with desert here, and I had the Chocolate Lava cake. There was nothing lava about it, or luke lava (hey that is a fun name... Luke Lava!!!) (whoops, side tracked again, back to the story). When I hear Lava Cake, I think warm cake with a gooey hot chocolate sauce with maybe a dollop of vanilla ice cream. NOPE, this was cold, and the texture was more like mousse. Was not a fan... but I ate it anyway. (It was my birthday desert after all). Others at the table had crepes that looked much more delicious. But seriously... everything I have had to eat here is pretty good. They even have calamari... (like I would eat that)... but others really dug it! Prices are average for this type of joint... the decor inside is warm and inviting, and the staff is very nice and attentive to my constantly empty glass of diet soda! (damn, think what my bill would be like if they filled me up on beer at the rate I drink soda!) Will I be back? Heck yeah! And one of these days I am going to try the Bohemian Brew! Until next time I eat... Doc

Their beers are brewed by German purity standards, the food is delicious and a real value for the portions and quality. I just love everything at Bohemian. No matter what anyone believes, this is the best garlic burger in the state. Great variety of German dishes, pub food, and pizzas. I've brought in parties from 2-40 and had great service no matter how many they were serving.

This is a special travel edition from my personal archives food blog... The Bohemian Brewery & grill is my new favorite place, period. Set about half way between the Davenport estate and downtown, this little slice of European heaven sits with both indoor and outdoor seating amidst a Bavarian style lodge. Upon entering, I could not help but spy on the tables of all the happy patrons, and instantly I could understand the reasons behind all the smiles. The dining room was large, flanked by a huge fireplace to help set the ambiance a little bit. The menu was a cross section of eastern Europe and I had my passport in hand, ready to explore the world. We started with the home made Pierogies,and roasted garlic with toast (I am not sure how European the garlic was, but it was delicious) For dinner I had the Hungarian Beef Goulash with Czechoslovakian bread dumplings and red cabbage. Now please indulge me as I take a minute to reflect on this amazing but simple dish. Large chunks of beef slow simmered in a deep, rich gravy-like sauce that just yearned for the dumplings to be dipped in. You could have left out all the meat as far as I was concerned, the sauce was that amazing. The dumplings were very soft a pillowy, kind of like an under-cooked loaf of french bread. The red cabbage was nice with some shots of caraway for flavor. All in all an amazing dish, so much so that I payed little attention to what the Davenports had going on, even though their entrees were just as amazing. A.J went with the Chicken Paprikash. and Carol, a nice Salmon dish which I did not get a picture of regrettably. Lucky for me, I had just enough room for a little taste of what is one of the best bread puddings I have ever tasted

As anyone, I am a sucker for a good sausage. Unfortunately, there are precious few (if only maybe 2 or 3) restaurants in Utah that serve German food. Seigfrieds is great, but it is in the heart of down town and thus a little more effort to get to. It is effort worth putting forth, but effort nonetheless. Fret not though! For you also have an option in the Bohemian Brewery. One of the obvious advantages they have over Seigs is their vast assortment of beers and brews. If you like sausages, and you like to drink a beer the size of small swimming pool, then this is the place for you. However, I wouldn't limit myself to just sausage, for they have many other tasty menu items to sample. Garlic Fries - Yes Meatloaf - Yes Roasted Garlic Cloves - YES Pork Shank - Yes There is a lot to say yes to here. They also offer indoor and outdoor seating, the only thing they are missing is the view. I wish I could take these guys and drop them squarely upon a mountain top....and maybe you would have to take a Gondola to get to it...and maybe there is one of those super jowly dogs with the barrel around its neck that greats you at the door....Yeah...Yeah...

It's rare to find a place that has good german food,.. It's rare for a Proud Texan to find a restaurant in Utah that he thinks would shine in Texas,.. It's extremely rare for me to go eat at the same restaurant multiple times in the same week,... The Bohemian rocks! I love the schnitzel,.. Pork schnitzel but I sub the mashed potatoes for the spaetzle. They have the best spaetzle I've ever had and the gravy they serve with the schnitzel is so good I have to request extra every time. I look forward to coming next week in hopes of trying their rouladen which is one of my favorite things which is also sad because it's hard to find a restaurant willing to put it on the menu. Anyway,.. Great place! Good food! I'm glad I finally tried it!

This place has been on my top list for some time now for lunch and dinner but this past Sunday I tried their brunch. They have brunch every Sunday and Monday until 3. The regular menu is also offered with the beer, wine, and brunch menus. I ordered the eggs florentine. This was quite tasty with fresh spinach perfectly poached eggs covered in a really good hollandaise sauce. It was served with country potatoes and fruit. Now I don't like melon of any kind but they looked fresh and yummy. I would totally order this again. My husband got the special that day which was a breakfast burger. I took and tasted fantastic with a fried egg on top. We also really wanted to try the french toast so we ordered a side of that. it came out crispy as the description promised and in the middle was a subtle blend of cream cheese and black berries. I also had a mimosa and boy did this make for the perfect brunch!

Lovely. Love the interior, very European lodge. Moderate, but tasty beer selection. I tried the Noble Hefeweizen. Our bartender recommended we try the Brewmasters Basket as an appetizer. Crispy calamari, fries, toast, and garlic. The portions were generous and tasty. Our Bartender was great, very nice. The only thing I can criticize was the hostess (she was rude), but her attitude wasn't enough to change my overall perception of this brewery. We will come back, and bring our friends, too.
i love this place and find that it's always a pleasant experience when dining here. for my most recent visit here we were celebrating my dad's birthday. our server was kayla and she was the sweetest ever. seriously an exceptional server and i hope she's there again next time i go. my dad had a difficult time deciding which beer he wanted and she was so patient. she gave some recommendations and he ended up ordering some samples before deciding. she made sure our water glasses were always filled and as soon as one drink was finished would come back to see if there was anything else we wanted. she was also on top of things with food allergies and definitely cares about her customers. they do have a dedicated gluten free menu with quite a few choices. my mom got the salmon salad, i got the garlic burger gluten free, and my dad and thomas n. got the regular garlic burger. i didn't try my mom's food, but she really enjoyed her salad. my garlic burger was served on lettuce and cut into quarters with toothpicks to hold it together. i really liked that since it was easier to eat. it was so yummy - full of garlic flavor! plenty of cheese and perfectly cooked. the only thing i would change is that since i can't have garlic fries, they should offer an additional side instead of nothing (regular burgers come with garlic fries). maybe like a small side salad or something? everyone else really loved their food and we were all pretty happy with our choices. we ended up sitting at the bar afterwards since my dad wanted to watch the soccer game. we ordered a few more drinks and the bartender here was excellent also. overall an excellent place to have dinner and if you go ask for kayla!

great beer, amazing food and a great atmosphere! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, i got the garlic burger with garlic fries (can you tell i like garlic?) the rest of my table got the pierogi and sausage, i stole a few bites and they were both very tasty. I can't wait to come here again, a DEFINITE must try when you're in SLC

Some hits and some misses. The staff were nice and helpful. The bread is soft and delicious! I ordered a Banana Split smoothie. I can taste the strawberries, pineapple, and vanilla ice cream, but i don't taste banana. My friend ordered a Orange Creamsicle smoothie but said it didn't taste like an orange creamsicle. For food, the menu looked amazing with great prices! I appreciate the authentic Bohemian menu items and beers. I ordered a 12oz can of the Alt. It tastes pretty smooth! I would like to try at least half of the menu! My first time here, I ordered a House Salad and Soup Of The Day (he said chicken dumpling but it was more like tortilla wedding soup or something). The soup was very spicy, on par with chili. The salad was very delicious! My friend ordered Crab Cakes and they looked delicious! He said they tasted great! The menu is definitely enticing. My friends ordered the brats, and they give two thumbs up! As for the rest of the menu, I will have to see if they are as tasty as they appear to be next time I'm here!

Really good food, friendly service, unique setting. I've driven past this place a number of times in the past, but I never thought much of it. I figured it was just your standard pub fare, and I hadn't ever heard much to commend the place. But I finally went here with my sister and brother-in-law on their recommendation, and I'm a little disappointed I didn't make it here before! First, walking in, it's clear that his is a different kind of place. There's definitely an old world feel to the place. We sat near the front fireplace, so I didn't get much of a chance to check out the whole place, but it is definitely an interesting and unique setting. Food: There are a ton of things on the menu I still want to try, but I made a nice dent on my first visit. Schweinshaxen - I went for the most unpronouncable dish on the menu, and it turned out to be great! This is a huge pork shank with the bone-in and is accompanied by cooked red cabbage and spatzle (or mashed potatoes). Side note: Spatzle is one of the more fun words to say that I've run across. The pork shank was great! It was nice and tender and came right off the bone. The sauce on it is tasty and is poured on in just the right amount--the plate isn't drowning in it, but there is enough to get on nearly every bite of pork. The red cabbage was delicious as well. It doesn't have quite as strong a flavor as sauerkraut, but some of the same flavor profile. The spatzle seemed like it should have been a little less mushy, but it was still good. Beef Stroganoff - I tried a bite of this, and it was very good. The beef and mushrooms are cooked perfectly, and the sauce added great flavor. Fish and Chips - I tried a bite of this as well, and it was nice and tender on the inside of a crunch outside. Pretty well executed fish and chips. I'll have to make my way back here at least a few times to try out all of the other things that caught my eye on the menu. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our server knew the details of all of the dishes without hesitation, and she provided a good recommendation as to which dish I should eat of the 3 I had narrowed my choices down to. When I asked about the Roasted Garlic Bulbs--which I want to try at some point--she said they were great, but that it's something you have to plan your evening around. Good humor, to boot. I did not order any beer during this meal, but it looked like they had a great selection of beers that are not your run-of-the-mill types. My sister and brother-in-law both enjoyed their beverages. I'll definitely be back.
The chicken pesto pizza is fantastic! The bread pudding wasnt that great though- tasted like it had been zapped too long in a microwave. That pizza though.. way awesome! And they have 50 cent beer samples that the hubby loves.

I had high hopes for this place. I searched for nearby "gastropub" and this place was at the top of the list. I was immediately drawn towards the calamari and the beet salad on the menu. (I love beets!) The calamari portion was generous and pretty tasty despite being a bit over salted. The beet salad however was a near total failure. The beets were over cooked and very heavily flavored with star anise and cinnamon. So much so that they had no flavor of beet. I found myself digging for the walnuts just to have some texture. The manager was nice enough to knock the salad down to half price but didn't feel compelled to talk to me about my experience. The ambience is a cross between mountain lodge and traditional beer garden though at only a third full the place is quite loud. This can be attributed to the bare concrete floors, wood log walls and ceilings. Not a soft surface insight to absorb sound. The service at the bar was adequate during my dining experience.

First off, this place serves food until 11pm on the weekdays - which is kind of a BIG DEAL in Utah, where everything closes at 9pm. If you're interested in a non-fast food late night dining option, this place is a huge win. I'm eastern european, so I grew up eating a very similar style of food. My boyfriend is of german descent and was literally giddy about the menu. We shared two entrees - The Chicken Paprikash - Chicken breast with creamy hungarian paprika sauce served with a side of steamed veggies and spätzle. Roast beef on the bone, served with red cabbage and spätzle. Not sure what this menu item is called. The chicken was OK - maybe 4 stars from me. It was cooked perfectly, and moist on the inside. The sauce drizzled on the chicken was the star of the show, and I would have appreciated a bigger helping of it. The veggies were ok - not mushy at all but pretty plain. The spätzle is a pretty close, but not perfect. The variety they use is a little too dense, and was a bit over-fried. The ideal end result should be light and airy. The beef dish on the other hand was the star of the show. Deliciously seasoned, perfectly cooked fall off the bone meat. The red cabbage was great also - my boyfriend was very impressed with the recipe. Overall a 4.5 star experience, but I'm bumping it up to 5 due to the great service and uniqueness of the menu. We'll be back!

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Just like the song, this place delivers on all fronts. I didn't even know this place existed until my friends said we're going there for dinner. Parking was a bit tough to find as it was packed, but don't let that deter you. The restaurant is decently sized and they even have quite a bit of patio seating which is going to be perfect once the weather warms up a bit. So my group and I walked up to the bar while we waited for a table and it was a full service bar with plenty of good beer to go around. My suggestion is to try whatever they have in their seasonal selection. it's usually 3-4 different beers so don't be afraid to give all of them a go. The food....just amazing. The smell just overtakes you even before you walk into the restaurant. It was sooooo good. If you want a solid selection, order the pirogies & bratwurst. So much food in one dish. The pirogies were covered with grilled onions and bacon, hmmmm.....bacon, and the bratwurst had a hefty side of sauerkraut which was just delicious. Two bratwurst & 3 pirogies in all. Don't finish it all if you want to have room for dessert. Get the strudel if you do. Light, flaky with ice cream and whip cream on the side...Can't go wrong. The rest of my party ordered fish and chips, the veggie burger and the portobello mushroom dish. All said they were fine choices, but then again they all craved the pirogies and bratwurst that I was eating.

Texan vacationing in Utah here. As you may have seen in some of my other posts, my husband and I love visiting local breweries and brewpubs when we travel. After a terrible visit to Hoppers about 2 weeks ago, I was skeptical about trying anything else in Utah in the brewpub genre. You know, you guys have to deal with that whole 4% draft alcohol thing which kinda sucks when it comes to flavor. And the service in SLC sucks on par with the kind you get in the likes of Seattle and other places where the waitstaff makes a bit more hourly and doesn't need to rely on tips to make up most of their income. This place is different though. The restaurant is well-lit and smartly decorated. The outdoor patio is where we sat and there were actual hop vines snaking up the divider behind our table. The host who sat us was very friendly and our waiter showed up very soon afterwards. He was pretty awesome and attentive - in fact, the only time we were kind of like, Where the hell is our waiter? was towards the end, but in his defense, we'd sent him away before he could issue the check as we weren't sure if we were going to get dessert. We started with the calamari, which was fried in a light batter and coated with what tasted like a creamy chipotle sauce. There were also some fried bell peppers sprinkled in - delicious. There were 4 in our party and I think we sampled the menu pretty well. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was marinated well and very tender. It came with both fresh and sun-dried tomatoes - weird but good - and hazelnuts! My 2 friends got the garlic burger and the fish and chips. My husband got the brats and perogies (sp?) Everything except the brat plate came with these delicious garlic fries - no ketchup needed! Reports on the coleslaw that came with the fish and chips were positive overall. The beer was actually decent. They currently have 2 seasonal beers. You can try small pours (2-3 oz) for 50 cents each - it's a steal! I recommend the current seasonal Lundt beer (I think that's what it was called). The weakest I think was the Hefe but the other ones were quite solid considering the 4% governor. I would come back again and again to try all the offerings. This place is delicious and worth a trip.

Being my first visit I had it in the back of my mind that this place would loud and crowded. Being that I have run into in other places that of the same vein. I have to say I like this place. Not overly crowded or so loud that you have to yell to be heard across the table. Janelle was a delight as a server. Quick with the refills, always coming by to make sure that we happy with our meals. The smile and friendliness are natural and honest. I have to say I dislike the food. Garlic Fries are crispy good, nor overly done with garlic. Speaking of which, loved the Roasted Garlic Bulbs. The Pork Schnitzel was good. Something I look forward to having again.

Bohemian used to be mid-valley option that had decent food with good beer and wine options. However the past two experiences with the service and the food were so awful that it's forever "on the list" of places we'll avoid. As someone who has spent years in the service industry I know that things happen with the kitchen and it's hard to recover. But I also know that there are little things a server can do to make the experience better. Our server dropped the ball entirely. My salad came out before our appetizers and the burger. When we finally got the burger it was raw, literally raw not medium well as ordered. The manager offered to remake the burger but after waiting an hour for our food we just wanted to leave. Then we had to wait another 30 minutes to get the check and cash out. Instead of the server acknowledging the problems, she made excuses for why it took so long to get our credit card. We left two hours later angry, hungry and resolved that we will never go back.

Had a great dinner with friends. Their pork shank was flavorful, plenty of meat too. The whole menu is German food so I knew what to expect. They even make their own Pirogies; very flavorful too. Dessert was apple strudel. Genuine strudel too! We will be going back.

Came here for some beer. Great beer! Service is friendly and genuine. I like the open and rustic feel of the place. However, the bathroom is nasty. Kind of grosses me out from ordering food here. But, great place to chill and have a couple beers.

We had an incredibly disappointing experience here today. My brother and his girlfriend went to fill up two growlers. As today is her 21st birthday, she was excited to go and order her first "legal" drink. When they arrived she was turned down by a guy NOT WEARING A NAME TAG. He also made fun of her to the other patrons sitting at the bar stating, "I don't serve minors...", ON HER BIRTHDAY! This bartender claimed that she had to wait a full 24 hours before he could legally serve her. As if ANYONE is expected to wait 24 hours to celebrate their 21st birthday. As a bar / restaurant employee he should know, that any bar in Utah can serve a new 21 year old as soon as midnight on the day of their birthday. 100% legal. He also has no idea how to properly fill a growler, as he filled the two we bought only two thirds of the way full, and did not seal them up quickly after, so they are flat and undrinkable. This guy (who was at least acting like a manager - Yelling at the staff in front of their tables) should know the real laws of his trade, and work on his pouring skill, and customer service. Any GOOD bartender knows that a newly 21 year old is a great way to boost business because they are learning where they feel welcomed to drink. He has failed his business with his cold welcome to her, especially considering it IS actually against the law to work without a name tag on. He gave her a few stickers as a consolation prize, like the bank teller handing a child a lollipop. We usually love going here, so it is hard to give such a low rating, but this one person has ruined one of our favorite places for us.

I've been eating here for years and service and food are always hit or miss. When it's good, I love it but about every 4th time I'm here it's so bad that I swear I won't go back. I waited over an hour for a salad that came out wilted and pathetically layered a few beats and a sprinkle of goat cheese. The onions were supposed to be caramelized but we're not even browned. The lettuce was soggy from too much dressing. In the hour wait for this "salad" my drink was never refilled. The waitress said sorry about the wait and that a manager would come out and talk to us. He gave our table of 4 one dessert to share for free. I still paid $14 for a shitty salad. I told him the salad was bad and his response was that other patrons liked it. Then the checks got all mixed up. I was charged for stuff I didn't order then had to wait about 30 minutes for them to fix it. The whole experience took 3 hours and I left starving and completely dissatisfied with food and service. It will be a long time before I consider going back.

I have been going here for a few years and every time I go back the food and service gets worse. I went for their brunch just to mix things up a little and I was so disappointed. The service was subpar, I wasn't even able to eat my food it was so bland the server herself said that the pork and chicken schnitzel tasted the same and the fruit on the side was warm and looked slimey I'm officially over this place, it's so close to home but I will gladly drive farther to avoid it

We came here for lunch and wanted to watch the world cup. I thought it was going to be more of a bar than a restaurant, but the staff was really helpful and went out of the way to make sure we could see and hear the game. I was really impressed with the quality of service and had a great meal because of it. The server was really new so she didn't have a ton of suggestions, but she was really sweet. The food was good, but nothing that was super amazing. I had the blackberry chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. My husband had the Pierogies and Bratwurst. I think that pretty much everything could have used some salt and some other seasonings. The mashed potatoes were really dry and bland. The chicken was just a plain breaded chicken with a blackberry sauce, nothing out of this world. The pierogies were probably our favorite things, they were soft, pillowy and tasty. I hear the garlic fries are delicious so I want to go back and try those soon.

Not too shabby for a local brewery. It was crazy busy and we expected a long wait, but only had to wait for about 10 minutes before we were seated. The waitress was super friendly and funny - it created a great atmosphere. I had the Beef Stroganoff and WOAH. I'm drooling just thinking about it. (Homer thinking about donuts drooling. It's really attractive). They used little bites of a NY Steak as the beef. I'm definitely a fan of this place!

Really good schnitzel and awesome spatzle. Beer is solid too. Fun atmosphere and they have outside covered seating. I live in Ohio and seek this place out when I get to Salt Lake City.

German or Polish? I'm not sure which based on some of the brews and menu selections but it really doesn't matter. This place that looks and feels like a Bavarian cabin features great beers and delicious food. I left full and happy.

Great place to get craft-brewed German lagers. While I'm always one to appreciate a nice hoppy brew, it's nice to have a place like Bohemia that offers a great selection of malty, quaffable lagers. I sampled the Bavarian Weiss, Gratzer (an unusual and uncommon smoky all-wheat beer), Schwarzbier and Viennese lager. All were excellent, the Schwarzbier outstanding. My wife had the Hefeweizen, which was also very good. This is a very cool, very German restaurant. The bar is warm and comfortable. We didn't eat but the food looked great. The place was packed. We'll definitely go back next time we're in SLC.

Had the specials, a pork florentine which was tasty but I wouldn't have it again. The roasted garlic bulbs with toast are a must-try and I've tried this dish in various locations but this was the best ever. Since they're a micro brewery, they also have a good range of their own beers including lagers, pilsner to the darker hoppy ones which you could order samplers. The seasonal beers are also worth sampling. I preferred the pilsner because it was nice and light yet flavorful. The service was quick and prompt and alfresco seating on a cool night adds to the ambience. Great for group parties yet also great for business meetings like the one I had.

Bohemian Brewery feels like an old world European pub and serves up a variety of food and drinks at their Midvale restaurant. I've eaten here for lunch and dinner a few times and rather enjoyed the food. Staff is always friendly and the service is prompt. I would recommend it.

Love this place, try the roasted garlic! It is the bomb!! The drunken chicken had no flavor to the sauce, but it could have been a fluke. The garlic fries, nom. The garlic burger, Nom and the little shooters to try a new beer is pretty kick ass!

I REALLY wanted to give this place five stars. I've been coming here for a few years and I really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is almost always really good and well prepared. But the service... The service could be better. Normally we try to sit at the bar. There are two bartenders in particular who are absolutely amazing. Those being Drew and Melissa (hopefully I'm getting the spellings correct). Both of them have given consistently good service, and so we try to get them when we go. The last few times we have sat in the dining room, bringing guests from out of town, the service has been absolutely horrible. This is not just from new people. There is a gal who does not seem native to the U.S. who has been here for several years and she has consistently given horrible service. (I have no problems with people not from the U.S., I only give this detail as a way of identifying her for the restaurant without giving her name or other details). There have been other sub-par servers who are much newer, but I have the hope that perhaps they will be able to improve as they're there--since I doubt the restaurant will let them go. But besides service, the food is almost consistently good. Not being one to enjoy beer, I personally cannot say either way on their beer, but every beer-loving dining companion I've brought there have had good things to say about the beer, so it seems that it's definitely worth coming for (which I would hope, since they're a brewery). They do have a nice wine list and some very delicious mixed drinks--though it is Utah so none of them are very strong. The atmosphere is cozy and visually interesting. The dining room, bar, and restrooms are clean and well maintained. They have a nice outdoor area to dine in the warmer weather as well. Again, I really think this could have been a five star review, but the service given from 70% of the employees really need to improve. Good service should come from all the staff, not just a small few.

Excellent food! The Ruben sandwich is awesome. The kraut is the best ever! I had a brat on the side and it stole the show! The service was excellent. I was seated by the manager and he explained the lunch specials. He was fun to talk to. Our waiter was great. The $4 price tag on the brat was a bit pricey, all in all this was a very good lunch.

The Bohemian is within walking distance of our house so we come here quite a bit. We also have a collection of the growler mugs crowding our cupboard. We love this place. The latest visit was no different in terms of quality. We ordered the pork schnitzel, the beef goulash, and the beef stroganoff. Food was seasoned nicely and arrived timely. Portions are excellent. Beer is always a highlight here. I tried a few of the seasonal selections, but stuck with a combination of the Cherny Bock and the Viennese Lager for tonight. Only one beer is not good - the Hefeweizen - with the taste (I kid you not) of bubble gum and bananas. Service is the only thing that isn't consistent. Some (most) visits it is great, with an interactive attentive server and some visits are the exact polar opposite. Tonight's visit was somewhere in the middle. Our server was efficient but busy and quick and our table was set along a main thoroughfare of servers and bathroom seekers which resulted in consistent bumpings. Small issues with personnel aside, this place still merits a 5 star rating. Lastly, if you don't mind sitting at the bar, you can skip the line and enjoy consistently greater service. +2 for a unique menu +2 for giant beers -1 for bubble gum beer +1 for waitstaff that will accommodate you if you don't like the bubble gum beer +1 for a great decor +1 bonus if you can say Schweinsaxe after a few Cherny Bocks

This was hands down the best meatloaf I have ever had. The service was good. There were so many choices I could not decide. So I settled on the meatloaf and I'm glad I did. My husband had the pierogies and brats and I kept sneaking taste of his plate. my favorite part was the hot buttered rum and the crab cakes for the appetizer they were really really good. next time we come back we'll do the brunch thing or will have the stroganoff because that looks really good too. If you're looking for comfort food and a good beer this is where you go.

Honestly I have gone to the Bohemian forever, and frequently as well. I love the place and really like the food. It is Christmas, and I should know better than to visit any restaurant this time of year, but we had been shopping all day and just wanted to go to a familiar place and not be faced with cooking-we were definitely tired. So, usually when you get the check back, your card is on top, but not this time, so I missed it. I was all the way across town when I realized my card was missing and had to drive all the way back in the freezing rain to the restaurant. When we got back, we were definitely perturbed that they had not given our card back, but when the manager ( I really think it was the owner) came out she basically said it was all our fault and started to argue with us. I have worked in restaurants and hotels all my life, and seriously, if I had started an argument with a customer, even if it was their fault, I wouldn't have had my job for long. People pay high prices in places like restaurants and hotels for the service. We know how to cook-sometmes we just want someone else to do it, and the dishes, and treat us really nice. So that's it. I only offer it as a tidbit. I'm done because I expect to be served in service businesses. I'm not hating, just offering a suggestion that if you value service you maybe should take your business elsewhere.

Went at an off time after arriving in town. Service was fine, not great but not horrible. I ordered the pork schnitzle with spatzle instead of the normal sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes. They were fine but nothing special. They give a thin white lemony sauce that wasn't much of anything other than lemon. I definitely missed having a nice hunter's gravy covering everything. A lot of the combinations on the menu seemed a bit odd. Portion sizes are substantial. I also had the oktoberfest beer which, like the food, was fine but nothing special.

Grace S.
I enjoyed the schnitzel but wish it came with a little sauce. The pork cutlet they provided was HUGE--enough for 2 meals. The pierogies and brats were ok but I thought the pierogies were a little too doughy, not light and dainty like how I prefer. I ate at Bohemian Brewery on a Friday night and even though it as quite busy, the service was still attentive and food came in a reasonable time. The restaurant is quite a drive from my home so I don't think I'll make the effort to come out for their so-so food. I do enjoy buying their beers (in cans) at the grocery store and enjoyed the varieties available at the brewery that I haven't tried before.

I came to SLC thinking this place was going to suck.. Well first night I dropped by Bohemian Brewery and was pretty impressed. Food was awesome I Had there Chicken Pesto Pizza along with there Heffeweisen beer and was impressed. There beer was decent but I am not used to the laws of Utah that do not allow strong imperial beers which I would of loved to have especially being at a brewery.

Ended a great vacation with an awesome meal here! I love the dark-lit, no frills atmosphere they have going on. My boyfriend, Alex, and I decided to sit at the bar since there was a long wait for a regular table & that ended up making our experience even better than I think it would have been at a table. The bar is nice and big, made of some kind of beautiful wood. Alex and I both ordered a beer to kick off our meals & both liked our choices. I had a light, summery beer that was very tasty. For actual food I went with the pork schnitzel with a side of spaetzle. This was awesome, the pork had good flavor with a nice crispy crust. The spaetzle was also good...a little chewy, but tasty nonetheless. Alex went with his go-to choice of a rueben and it was good as well. Good portion of corned beef sandwiched between some quality toasted bread. By sitting at the bar, we ended our meal by starting up a conversation with a few of the people who had come to the bar on their own...this was the highlight of the night for me! We met one guy from Texas who was vacationing on his own to get some skiiing in, one local guy who was a frequent visitor of the brewery from what I gathered, and another local who explained the proposed gondola link between Brighton and The Canyons. All of them were hilarious and very enjoyable to chat with. The bartender we had also provided some great service...didn't bug us too much and was quick & efficient. I will definitely come back here next time I head out to Salt Lake City for some skiing...my fingers will be crossed that I can miss the inversion next time though!!!

From a Polish/German girl, this is some great delicious bohemian food. Schnitzel, red cabbage and spaetzel were all tasty. The beers are THE best in Utah and can hold their own in comparison to the rest of the country. Service was friendly and quick. Explanations of the beer and food from Fred was so helpful. If you are in salt lake you should make it a point to eat and drink at the Bohemian!

The food was decent but overpriced. But this really isn't what bothered me. A big group of us went to Bohemian to celebrate a friends going away party. It felt like the server was rushing us and he was rude. To top it off we were notified that another party had arrived that apparently reserved the table and we were asked to leave to clear the table for the other party. We had a nearly full pitcher of beer left when we were hurried out of the restaurant. I will not be a patron at this restaurant again.

This is the place we go when we dont know where to go. Can't go wrong with brats and a cold beer. Recommend getting a beer flight to try em all.

I've been to a lot of breweries down in San Diego county and they all had great food and beer. Bohemian is one of my favorites. The service is amazing, the servers are super friendly and helpful, especially when you don't know which beer to order. If you want a good specialized burger, their garlic burger is to die for.

Have been to the Bohemian a couple types in the last month, enjoyable experience each time. They specialize in German food, Schnitzel, Brats, etc food I am particularly fond of, to go along with the food they have a full bar and their house made beers. The first time we went we were there for the food, the wife getting the Schnitzel and me getting the Brats. The food was tasty but maybe a bit over priced. One thing the two of us really enjoy is German Spatzel, I found theirs to be good but the wife was not impressed, I would say Siegfried's Delicatessen is better.. The second time we went we stopped for drinks and appetizers. We got the potato pancakes which came with applesauce and sour cream, they were OK. We also got an order of wings, the wife enjoyed them but I was not too impressed. The order was good sized at a reasonable price but came with a sweet BBQ sauce, I would prefer a more traditional spicy wing sauce. The beers at the Bohemian are good, I enjoyed the Cherny Boch and a couple of the other options.

Yum the Schnitzel, the goulash, even the club sandwich and the best beers and I just love the manly stein size of girlish proportions! I am a huge Weiss beer fan, this recipe did not disappoint.

Tell me if you have heard this one before: I guy from Portland walks into a brewery in Utah. No, there really isn't any more to that. But have you heard that one before? Probably not... And yet, being away from the land of froth and coffee and doing some work in the Hinterlands of Utah the next day, I find myself here after a recommendation from the clerk at the hotel. So my coworker and I head over. The place wasn't very busy, but it is 2:30 in the afternoon. We sit down and look at what is on tap. Curiously, they only make lagers here. Granted, they are all brewed here, but they are all lagers. Something I haven't run into in Portlandia, the proud home of every hoppy ale known to mankind. So I go for the pilsner, and my companion in crime goes for the hefeweizen. I must say, the pilsner was pretty good, albeit a bit weak (I think due to some weird ass Utah brewing laws), while the hefe was right on point, with nice hints of clove and banana. Quite impressive actually. The server asked if we wanted a glass or mug, and we went for the mug. And it came in a 1 liter glass stein (think Oktoberfest in Munich). Didn't see that coming... The food was pretty good. I don't remember what my coworker got, but I had the bratwurst and Pierogis . Man, that was really tasty. The ingredients were fresh, the cooking was done well, and the plate was overloaded. Pretty decent food. I am a big man, and I couldn't finish it. Then again, I had a liter of beer rumbling around in my tummy, so that may have played a part. If you are in that part of SLC (I don't know what part it is...I just get my way around through GPS, and it was with some number crossed with another number) you should check it out. PS: To the guy with a party of 60: Did you rent out the entire building? I hope you at least made reservations ahead of time...

I guess the food was good but maybe the Bohemian style just doesn't suite me well. The place always looks busy so that probably speaks volumes over my review. I had a beer a brat and thought it was decent but nothing that I would write home about.

Everything seems a little blurry after going through a few pitchers beers that night, so I hope I can remember all the details. We came here with a group of "mostly" guys to support the Yelp Eats event. The group got a little too big for the patio, so we ended up sitting upstairs. Our waitress for the night was excellent and she took very good care of us. Despite each of us choosing a single item from each of the category, there were waaaay too much food per person. I got the Buffalo Wings, Brat Sandwich, and Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes, but I was pretty full after my appetizer. (Perhaps the portion size were meant for you to threw up after drinking too much then start eating again? :P) The Buffalo Wings were decent, and it was extremely sour like most places. Brat Sandwich tasted good as well, but I thought it was a little too "cheesy". For desserts, the Chocolate Hazelnuts Crepes was delicious, as the chocolate and nut flavors just mixed perfectly. As for beer, we tried the Bavarian, Viennese, and Cherny Bock. The Bavarian was light and refreshing especially after adding lemon flavor to it. Viennese had a dark roasting taste to it. Cherny Bock is reserved beer for the manly men, and it is just wrong to not get the manly size for this beer.

Ate here for the first time last night. We were a huge group so service was a little slow but our waitress did great overall. Food was great, beer was great. Their garlic fries are possibly the best fries I've ever had. Definitely want to go back

Been here several times and here are the lessons I have learned. Don't overlook the specials. The desserts on special are fabulous. The soups, as strange as some sound, are super tasty. My favorites are their garlic fries, SPÄTZLE, pirogies, fish n chips and the pear salad. One odd thing to note however is the wings, the bones in our wings were all broken up and it was a bit tiresome dealing with wing shrapnel. I get a kick out of their naming convention of beer sizes. They only have a few beers but the few they have are done really well.

Went here for an event recently, and will NOT be going back. From the moment we walked in, the hostess, the server standing there flirting with her, and some older woman who showed us to the patio, all acted like we were honored to be let in to such an establishment. There were about 60 of us in a party, and we were treated rudely, and have no intention to come back. The food was good, but not as good as they think, once you look at the prices. An order of nachos with chicken with a single beer was $29. Plenty of other places that are better, for less.

I can't go into The Bohemian without singing along to the song made famous by Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, simply stating that he "uses antlers in all of his decorating." Now that I've set the mood for you all, let me tell you why The Bohemian has been a staple for me since I discovered the beauty that is a pint of Cherny Bock, and garlic fries with their house aioli. Firstly, I like beer. I'm Australian, which would lead you to believe that I've been known to have a drink or two, and you would be correct. In my formative years I liked the lighter stuff, now - no matter how cold or hot it is outside, or if I am feeling team Jedi or Sith - I like my beers like I like my soul: dark and broody. The Cherny will not disappoint any lover of a good dark beer, and the standards that The Bohemian brews to are that of German purity, which means you're getting an excellent pour every time. Along with the Cherny, The Bohemian has three other staples, the Viennese Lager, a Czech Pilsner, and the Bavarian Weiß. Not to be outdone by the other local brewers, The Bohemian also has a rotating Seasonal Brew, so be sure to ask what that is to see if there's something other than "the usual" that will tantalise your tastebuds. Now that we have the most important part out of the way, let's move on to the food. Most people will argue that there are many good garlic burgers to be found in SLC, and you may find that my next statement is a big call - but I stand by it - there's only one, and you'll find it here. The Bohemian's garlic burger is magnificently prepared every time and usually served cooked medium. Along with the moist and delicious burger, you'll get peppered bacon, cheddar cheese, the usual toppings (tomato/lettuce/onion), and a side of the most magnificent garlic fries in the land. It's real garlic, not powder, it doesn't come with a hockey puck for a patty, and the onion roll is delicious. The Bohemian has a house made aioli that some may refer to as "fry sauce" but it's lighter and tastier to me than a lot of the other sauces in the land of Zion. It doesn't just stop here though, the salads are HUGE, their wood fired pizzas are tasty, the goulash is delicious, and their Bratwurst and Pierogi plate is to die for. Oh, and try a side of Spaetzle with your next meal, I promise it will end up having a special place in your heart next to your grown-up love of Mac & Cheese. All in all, The Bohemian doesn't disappoint in my eyes, my belly, nor my wallet, and they even have a scooter museum upstairs along with great space for large groups. Go Czech them out ;)

I've been here several time and the service and food was always great. However, today was a little bit disappointing. Service was a bit slow, but at the end she made it up. The halibut tasted a bit old. I don't know if it was the oil or what. It wasn't as fresh as it normally is. I will come back though. The previous experiences I've had, have been on point.

I saw a few promising reviews so I got the boys to go here for dinner. We didn't realize that Monday Night Football was on, but that was a bonus. Some of the appetizers were 1/2 off =) and we were not complaining. Crab cakes and Roasted Garlic Bulbs to start off. Crab cakes came out very nice, and I don't think you should be able to mess up the roasted garlic. My buddy tried samples of their four signature beers and one seasonal. He settled on the Viennese Lager by the time our entrees came, and since it was the suggested pairing I tried a pint myself. As I am just starting to learn about beer, I can not say too much about it other than i really liked the flavor. Nothing too overpowering. Piergoies & Bratwurst came first sitting on top of a bed of Sauerkraut. My buddy was unable to finish all of it. He complimented the Bratwurst as being one of the best he has tried. Also he mentioned that the sauerkraut was not as tangy and did not have the bite he expected, but went well with everything. My other friend tried the special today of Red Trout stuffed with Crab and...other goodies. I didn't hear much from him since he was deep into his meal and big mug of Viennese Lager, but I got the feeling he was enjoying everything. I had the Bohemian Goulash which was quite filling. Rich flavors and wonderful bread. Almost too rich for me and I had to skip desert. I hope I took a picture... As I was recovering an order was placed for the Bread Pudding. It was as beautiful as it sounded in the menu and did not last very long. Hopefully I get to try some next time and can comment on it. All I really got was "Oh this is good, you have to try some..." and then it was gone. Some people mentioned problems with parking, but we were lucky tonight. Lot is a bit interesting though. I really liked the feel I got inside. Very welcoming. Some of the decorations were playful, most just seemed to fit the lodge feeling. We ended up by the fireplace and it was a bit too warm, but will be much appreciated in the months to come. Great attentive service tonight. Everything flowed smoothly, seeming to come at just the right time. Our servers suggestions and comments helped us to decide which way to go and were spot on...very thankful for her help. I would gladly come back here and bring others so they can experience great food and good beer at a place so comfortable you just don't want to leave.

Great food, with a wide selection of beers. Tends to get pretty busy on the weekends, but there's a great atmosphere. Service can be slow, so prepare to settle in, but it's worth it. If you get a chance check out the vintage Vespas on the second floor.

I've been to BoBrew several times, and I always have a good experience. Great location, plenty of parking, friendly service, great beer selection, decent food, eclectic and fun atmosphere - what's not to like? If you're coming for the beer, you won't be disappointed. Their brews are pretty tasty. My personal favorite is the Bavarian Weiss with a hunk of fresh orange. If you're undecided, you can sample any brew for a very acceptable price. Other draught size choices are also reasonably priced. The food is plentifully plated, and average on the price scale. They serve a lovely Pear Salad - my favorite thing on the menu. I've had other salads which were also worthy, but I can't seem to stay away from the Pear. They have many meat dishes, which are a bit heavy for me (ie. the Schnitzel, Meatloaf and Goulash - all good but very hefty). Hubby likes their burgers, and often defaults to the Buffalo Burger complete with BACON and gorgonzola! Their apps and sides are highlights - if you miss the Gilroy roasted garlic with tomato tapenade and bruschetta-type bread, I feel bad for you. It's a treat for garlic lovers! The garlic fries are also delightfully garlicky and wonderful - served with a good aioli dipping sauce. The beer-battered onion rings are great as well, but are occasionally a bit greasy. I would recommend checking with your server to see when they last changed out their fry oil before ordering them. Skip the crab cakes, the quesadilla, and the caprese apps. I'm not sure why they are still serving these, because they're so far out of their genre. They don't do them well. When ordering, keep in mind where you are, and their associated specialties, and you'll do just fine. But venture into their faux-Mexitalianish choices, and you'll likely regret it like I have. That being said, I've never tried their pizza. Keeping in mind the previous warning, I'm never tempted. I've also never been for brunch. I hear quite mixed reviews, so I'm not rushing to brunch it up here. BB hosts and attends a lot of biker-centric events. There are always many bikes lined up in the parking lot, and bikers lined up at the bar. Their beer has also won a lot of national and local awards. My theory is, if the biker crowd loves the beer it must be good! I do have a gripe about the menus at BoBrew - there are just so many misspellings. It's a big pet peeve of mine. Seriously, who designs and prints these menus? How many people are involved? Because unless it's a lone 3rd grader, they should be ashamed of themselves. It's bad, but it won't keep me from their wares. Lass es dir schmecken!

My favorite place to eat out! Take that as you will. My boyfriend first took me here for my birthday and now it is our most frequented restaurant on our nights out. We are never disappointed. Our bills is usually around $60 or 70 (including tip) for a full meal for two adults along with beers for refreshment. A good price and well worth the money. The beers and menu items are beyond amazing. Rest assured, it will undoubtedly be a visit with consistent mouthgasms while you was there. Friendly and attentive wait staff as well.

I came here for my birthday dinner last November. I was painfully underwhelmed. For starters, maybe I would have been a little bit more objective and forgiving had it not been on my birthday. I didn't really want to come here, but my mother's boyfriend had purchased tickets to a beer and food pairing here and decided she couldn't back out. The staff here were nice. They were accommodating and hands on considering they had several other guests to cater to. The first food that we started off with was some kind of Wisconsin Cheese Soup. I actually really liked this dish, and had everything been as good I probably would have enjoyed it that much more. But that's where the good review ends because everything else was either cold or seriously lacking in flavor. We had some sort of meat, that was so uninspiring that I can't even remember what it was. However I remember that it was incredibly salty and lukewarm upon arrival. I didn't finish it, nor do I finish anything else for that matter. As somewhere that prides themselves on producing really good German food, they seriously fall very short. Perhaps I will give them the benefit of the doubt seeing as it was a very crowded night for them but I seriously can't imagine a vast improvement from November 2012. There are so many other great places to eat.

I have been here multiple times either just for drinks or for dinner and drinks and each time is superb. It's nice to just sit and hang out at the bar and the bartenders have always been friendly. I tend to stick to favorites, but the bartender kindly gave me little samples to try other beers when I tried to venture out (and was kindly not charged the .50 cents as I should have been for each sample). There hasn't been a beer that I didn't like there, but I do tend to order and enjoy the Pilsner every time. I love garlic fries, and I love garlic fries at Bohemian. I could eat an entire plate as a meal and be completely satisfied. Always get the fries! No complaints about their nacho plate as an appetizer, but it gets a bit pricey just to add some chicken to it. What I always crave here is their plate of Peirogies and Bratwurst. It's usually too much food for me to finish in one sitting (as much as I want to) so there are always leftovers. The brats are delicious and who doesn't love cheesy potato peirogies? I love all the flavors together with a little bit of sauerkraut, dill sauce, and topped with the bacon bits and onions. YUM! In the warmer months, it's also nice to sit out on the patio. It doesn't have the greatest view (looks directly onto the parking lot), but it's just nice to be outside. The service has never been an issue here and everyone has always been friendly and attentive.

Pretty good food and pretty good beer. I thought the prices were high for the food and I thought the flavor profile was lacking a bit in the beer department. A bit too one-note for me. The atmosphere picks up some points and would like to come back for the patio when it warms up. I wouldn't rule it out in a pinch, but it didn't knock my Bavarian socks off.

Ah, the Bohemian Brewery! One of my favorite places to go. The beer selection is not huge; they focus mainly on their signature beers, so unless a seasonal is available, they tend to only have the main four, but they have plenty of other very delicious drinks. I have never had a poor server at this place. In fact, I can say, hands down, that I had the best waiter I've ever had in my life at this place, and let me tell you why. I went here for the brunch on Father's Day and I ordered pancakes and the biscuits with brat gravy (yeah, I know... I had a carb-fest, but we were celebrating). Anyways, the waiter was always on top of everything I could possibly need. There was even one point where I thought to myself, "Hmm, I could have used more gravy on my biscuits." Then suddenly, out of nowhere the waiter appeared with a bowl of gravy and stated, "When I walked by, I noticed your biscuits were looking a little bare, would you like more gravy?" I was very pleased when we left that day. The food has always been very good, we've even ordered things from the lunch menu when it was dinner rush and the staff has gone above and beyond to make every visit a great time.

Love this place! Both food and beer is delicious. My favorite is the schnitzel, soooo good. Have tried a variety of things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. The place is large so there never seems to be much of a wait. One of our go to places for sure!

Won't be back. The fries were garlicky all right, but they looked and tasted like McDonald's fries! Lame. The nachos were DRY - no salsa, guac, pico de gallo, nothing! Cheese, black olives, a few beans (literally), and sour cream. Terrible! All other breweries in SLC put this place to shame.

Seeing as it's nearly impossible to find German food in...well, anywhere, I was very surprised to find this place a few years ago in Salt Lake City. Came back recently with my family and it was still as delicious as I remember. The food is great, sauerkraut is amazing and I love that they fry their spätzle. They have many delicious beers on tap as well and I love the lodge decor this place has with the big fire place and faux 'hops' hanging above the bar. More importantly though, the service was excellent! Our waiter must be like the Christoph Waltz of Utah because he was very talkative and charismatic with his German accent. He was also trying to be as helpful and informative as possible about the food and beer. Definitely knew his stuff! I've only been here twice but both times were great. I absolutely love German fare since I grew up eating it so I supposed you could say I'm a bit biased. It's also nice that they offer that along with a pretty wide variety of other eats like pizzas, burgers and what not. Can't wait to come back to this place next time I'm in Salt Lake though!

Visited while on a work trip and saw the good reviews. The menu looked great- German and Polish food. I ended up getting the chicken with brandy sauce which wAs very good. I had the darkest beer they had, it was good. The bartender was very nice and I liked the atmosphere- like being in log cabin. I would go back next time in town.

Time for an update? Yah, probably. This visit was another wonderful one. The patio was delightful. The service was spot on! We got our food quickly and our water glasses were always full... and our own wine bottle ($10 corkage) was openend almost immediately upon our arrival. Since it was "Yelp Eats" time, we ate waaaayyyy toooo much!! Holy Smokes! I had the wings and Lisa got the garlic bulb as our apps. The bbq wings were really good. They were prepared very well and doused in a really good, tangy, not too sweet, bbq sauce. I prefer mine spicy Buffalo style, but I still ate them all. Lisa really liked the garlic thingy, but I thought it was sort of bland. The entrees: chicken wrap for Lisa and goulash for me. YUMM!!! Loved them both! And, since we were full from the appies, we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Lisa swore she didn't like crepes, but I (with some help from our waiter) assured her that she must have never had GOOD crepes. We got 1 choco-hazelnut and 1 raspberry. Delicious! And Lisa now LOVES crepes! These guys are good!!

Best brunch in and around SLC! The bratwurst gravy can go on anything. I'd pay for a 5 gallon bucket of it just to have it at home to put on everything. Outstanding schnitzel. I lived in Germany while in the army, and miss German food. This place fills the void quite well! I suggest this place for Sunday brunch.

I had the seasonal beer (Zoigl) and it was delicious. For dinner I had the Goulash and it was tasty, a bit more fat than I would prefer (I would have trimmed this off if I was cooking it). The music was a great selection of blues. Overall a great experience. And I would go back. Really? You guys charge 50 cents for a sample of beer???

The dark beer at Bohemian is fantastic! Lots of great food too. The atmosphere is awesome and very warm--with a nice fireplace in the middle of the dining area to boot.

Mmmmm...oh how I love to go BoHo! Last night was my third visit to Bohemian Brewery, and service and food have been consistent every time. I always get the garlic fries, which come in a giant basket with dipping sauce (when ordered as an appetizer). I have had the garlic burger, and it's mighty tasty...and fragrant. Don't eat this if you plan to impress anyone with your scent for the next 12 hours. It's rich and meaty and one of the best garlic burgers I've ever tasted. I like their pork schnitzel, beef goulash, and pierogies and bratwurst. I'm not an alchy, but my brother swears by the Bohemian Brews. He gets the biggest glass he can get when he dines in, and often brings the house brews home in cans. I've yet to try the desserts at BB because I always am stuffed American by the time I finish my meal. I hear good things about the bread pudding, however. I live a few blocks away, so I know I'll be coming back for more soon.

I've been to Bohemian several times, but the most recent visit was for Yelp Eats. In the past, the chicken paprikash has been a favorite. Deep, spiced flavor with some nicely cooked chicken and some butter-drenched spaetzle as a side. It is as delicious as it sounds. I'll go back to Bohemian sometime to try it again. The last visit, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I tried: - roasted garlic appetizer - goulash - fruit dumplings - chocolate hazelnut crepes Yes, that's two desserts. Yes, I was alone. Yes, I felt like a bit of a pig afterward. The roasted garlic appetizer was the standout of the meal. Such a simple idea: two entire bulbs of garlic, roasted in oil, and served with toast points that seemed to each take up half a loaf of bread they were so large and a small bowl of bruschetta. Clean, fresh tastes with garlic at the forefront. Solid A. The goulash felt a tad cheap. Some rather tough cubes of beef swimming in a vat of heavy, paprika-drenched gravy so large I could have done the backstroke in it. No real nuance here, just paprika and a real dearth of protein. Dessert wasn't much better. The dumplings were airy but filled with what appeared to be canned apple pie filling. The crepes themselves were good, though very small. I don't wish to cast aspersions on a business that welcomed Yelpers to taste their wares for half price, but it seems that my experience with Yelp Eats this year seemed to fall into two categories: places like Wild Grape that killed the fatted calf and put their best items on display, and places like Bohemian who offered the cheapest items possible. I get that there is a business at work here, but the second strategy seems ill-conceived. That being said, go there and try the chicken paprikash. You'll have had a much better meal than my last one.

For a restaurant that specialized in this cuisine I was surprised at the lack of flavor. The first time I dined here, I heard good things about the meatloaf, so I was shocked when mine was flavorless, as if someone forgot to season it. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were also blah. I have dined here twice and think there is a consistency problem. The first time I shared a brew masters basket (a bunch of fried food); it was very good and the halibut was delicious. However, I returned a second time because the basket was so good, but it was greasy and poorly fried. The reuben sandwich had thin soggy bread and a surprisingly small amount of pastrami and sauerkraut. Given the theme of the restaurant, a poor reuben is unacceptable. As for the beer, I could take it or leave it.

They very clearly have spent a lot of money on the interior of this place and that part is quite enjoyable. Service also tends to be very good and the beer is also pretty solid. However, the food is kind of...I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's not bad or anything, but neither is it good. I went in really wanting to like this place, which definitely seems to have a sort of Slavic theme to it, but that type of food has historically been somewhat lost on me. I suppose that could be the real problem here; I can't quite tell if what they're doing is authentic or not, though I'm guessing it's at least close. It just doesn't ring any bells with my palate and wound up being somewhat forgettable overall. I wouldn't mind trying this place out again, but I wouldn't seek it out, either. If anything, this to me, is the very definition of a 3 star experience overall.

Jen J.
Atmosphere is great. I always give establishments the benefit of the doubt, however, I have to comment on my experience at the Bohemian tonight. Staff was nice and we got seated quickly. We ordered the wings which were amazing. Served in the right amount of time. I ordered the ahi tuna salad. I normally order that anywhere I go, but this time it was foul. The instant I had it in my mouth it was overpoweringly fishy and metallic at the same time. Ahi has almost a filet mignon consistency and flavor to it, but this time that was not the case. I ordered the steak salad instead which was fabulous however I was quite surprised that I was charged for it. In the same time I'm waiting for my salad another server dropped a plate of marinara infused mushroom which spotted my tan pants. The server did not ask anyone in the vicinity if they were ok and proceed to hurriedly clean up the plate and walk away. I hate complaining! But this time I just was disappointed that A. I wasn't asked if my pants were ruined and B. I wasn't compensated in any way shape or form for having to endure a rotten bite of fish! Other than that, will I return? Possibly, but I will never order fish from here again.

Went to here last night for the third time and I like it every time. The good is very good (especially the garlic burger or the shrimp scampi) and the beer is excellent. I am not a huge fan of very dark beers but I really liked theirs. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is that the service can be really slow.

We eat here whenever we remember the place is here. Seriously, we were trying to eat at any restaurant at Fashion Place Mall but couldn't find parking. (No, it wasn't Black Friday) so I remembered the Bohemian Brewery. The food is awesome! This time I had the Chicken Paprikash. Tasted just like mom used to make (I grew up in a German household). If you are looking for truly authentic, there are better places, but their take on German food is excellent. But that wasn't the best part. We were mezmerized by our waiter. Never had we experience such service! It was like he was clairvoiant. He would show up with items before we had a chance to ask for them! He was speedy, knowledgeable, efficient, accurate, thoughtful, and German. Yes, we got to speak a little of the mother tongue. He actually started it when he realized I was ordering German food items without an American accent. His name is Fred and I suggest you ask for him. Truly spectacular service.

This was this site of the highly successful and entertaining Bros who Brunch: Part Deux. Despite being highly recommended, I still hadn't been here till our Yelp event. Its a huge restaurant and has a very log cabin feel about it, right down to the nice rock fireplace in the middle. It seems that they brew their own beer and there was a guy pruning some sort of parking lot vineyard they have. Does this mean they have exhaust flavored red wine too? Maybe I'll figure that out on the next visit. I was there for their Saturday/Sunday brunch. It was 11am and the place was mostly empty. It is in the suburbs and I find that people with life partners and child(rens) often don't brunch it up much. So this could be the best kept secret in brunching in the SL Valley. The brunch menu is limited to a handful of dishes. Between most everyone at the table, I was able to see the majority of the brunch menu dishes. The presentation and portions were outstanding. I personally had the Eggs Florentine. It was served with diced potatoes and fruit. The dish was thoughtfully put together with fresh spinach and a very rich hollandaise sauce. One area that is often left behind are the potatoes. They were diced with peppers and they actually had taste to them which is something void from most breakfast potatoes. I need to try some of the brews they make on site. I was a little modest with that brunch outing. The waitress was unaware of the proper way to make a "beermosa" but she seemed to learn fast. I'm looking forward to going back to try the delicious looking french toast. I'm also looking forward to drinking some of the locally made beer and maybe something from their parking lot vineyard if there is such a smoky exhausty wine.

I finally made it over to the Bohemian for the first time in quite awhile. I suppose I should get down to "Southern Utah" more often because there are quite a few good restaurants, this being one of them. On this particular occasion, I went with the verona sandwich. I recognize that this is kind of a summery dish and it *was* snowing outside, but it worked for me! The prosciutto and mozzarella were super fresh and tasty, and I was a huge fan of the garlic fries. I dined here in the company of a large group, and everyone else seemed very pleased with their various entrees. Unfortunately, I'm not a beer fan, so I didn't sample any. They did have a nice wine list for a brewpub, though. Most everyone else in the group had beer, and seemed universally pleased with their selections. Service was good, though occasionally slow. Prices seemed a bit high, but it's all good. This place is a good one to go to for a nice change of pace.

My boyfriend and I really enjoy this place for date night. We always sit at the bar and have Mel serve us if she is there. They have a good selection of beer and other drinks. The plates are hearty and we can often get away with sharing something. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the seasonal brews and regular brews on tap. Everything on the menu seems to be made fresh and made to order. It is delicious everytime we go.

This place isn't bad at all. The inside looks like a cabin. There's nothing wrong with cabins. I honestly wish I brought my snuggie so I could have cozied up by the fire and ate my perogies and bratwurst while watching re-runs of Friends. I would have said Mad About You but even I can't play THAT effeminately. We came here after stopping by Buffalo Wild Wings and there was a 90 minute wait. This joint is literally 5 minutes away from there and is much more my pace. They have Bohemian Micro brews for you beer connoisseurs, as well as a full bar. My friends got two different burgers and were very pleased with them. Neither were able to finish their meals as the dishes were very large. Our waitress was very kind and attentive and it was also a quiet experience, which I personally enjoy for brunch on a Saturday morning. I believe I'll be bringing other friends back to visit this joint. Prices were average for an above average experience.

If you're a fan of German cuisine and microbrew, then Bohemian is the place to go. It provides a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place for kids as well. My favorites on the menu are: Pirogies and Brats, Garlic Fries, Onion Rings, and Potato Pancakes.

Me and my Mom and Grandparents went here the other day for lunch. The ambiance inside the restaurant is really cute. The food was great. I love their German food, I had brats with mashed potatoes and saurkraut. Very yummy! The beer was also quite delicious. The bread they serve on the table is divine. This is definitely a fun place to go.

Julie K.
Four stars cause I like their beer. Three for their food. The Pirogies and Sausages were worth the ranting and raving seen elsewhere on this forum. For those who avoid meat they have some decent pizzas that can be modified to fit your tastes. But really its about the beer. Try the Cherney Bock.

I came here on the recommendation of the hotel I was staying at on a recent business trip. It was late when I got here, so the restaurant was uncrowded and the bar seemed to be where all the action was. My server and the other crew were friendly, although they seemed a little preoccupied with possibly closing up for the night. I tried a house salad, which was delicious with the house dressing, and the salmon, which was outstanding. It was moist and flavorful and the glaze was the true topper. The staff had no problem giving me all steamed veggies with my meal instead of a potato or rice. The portion was huge and hit the spot for me, a hungry traveler who had not eaten all day. A great find! Wish I would have tried the beer, but I was in the mood for a cocktail instead, and it also hit the spot.

How have I not heard of this place? I really don't understand why I didn't make it here sooner. The Bohemian Brewery made my night with their delicious food. My party tried some garlic fries and they were great, so I decided to go all in with the garlic burger that did not disappoint. My wife had one of the pizzas and I was very impressed, they are pretty big for an individual serving. Drinking a giant beer inside this cabin like setting had me feeling like a real man, if for only an hour.

The food is okay - nothing spectacular - but the service has been horrid every time. We're talking apathetic, unhelpful servers who have a tendency to disappear for up to 20-30 minutes at a time. On one of my visits, my friends and I were literally the only table in the restaurant, so I'm not really sure what was so difficult about merely checking in. The Bohemian isn't the worst dining experience I've ever had, but man. I've been there a few times now, and I keep thinking it will get better next time. I'm sad to say there most likely won't be a next time, though.

The food was ok. Not particularly bad - not particularly memorable. I really want to give a brewery in Mormon-town more stars. They have a habit of ruining beer here by selling it in a version that is only 3% alcohol and tastes funny. I have to give them credit: Their beer was good.... and that was the most important part of my visit. 3.5 STARS.

Starts from the frenzy of the crazy parking lot that we ended up parking in a dirt parking lot. Then inside we waited for another 20 minutes, waaaay overcrowded. With all the people you would think the food is amazing. I honestly heard about this horseradish that of course had run out. We ordered the brats and some other stuff people raved about but nothing worth craving over in the future and way too overpriced. I really dont get the draw here.Did i miss something? oh and yes. i had the beer, meh.

Ahm, the food is decent and the service was decent. I wasn't raging over this place but then I had the garlic fries which I can say that they were pretty awesome. I was starving and the food filled that void. The pizza's that I saw looked like they had some heart and soul poured into them so maybe if I go there again I'll try that. 3 stars.

Fred is the reason we will never eat here again. He was incredibly sexist towards me. He spoke exclusively to my husband and barely acknowledged my existence. When we left, he said, "thank you sir!" like my husband was the only one that paid the bill (we split it like we usually do). Fred is a sexist pig and does not belong in the restaurant business, especially not in the front end with customers who may be female! The beer was disgusting. I have never seen my husband leave a half empty beer on the table. That is saying a lot! The food was Bohemian's only redeeming quality. It was delicious! Garlic fries were pretty tasty! A bit overpriced though...

Yelp Eats finally brought me here, though I've driven by and wondered about it a plethora of times. The servings were gigantic. I got the garlic fries and the goulash and ending up taking most of it home because I was so full. The fries were fantatic! Who cares if I tasted them clear until mid the next day. Worth it. The goulash had just a hint of the hot spice, which was perfect for me. Not having had real goulash before I wasn't really sure what to expect. It was definitely meat heavy. I guess I thought there'd be more vegetables in it. But it was very tasty. Thankfully I didn't order a dessert because I got to taste one of everything from everyone elses plates and they were ALL good. The atmosphere and decor were fun and they let us stay and talk as long as we wanted. Our server even came out and checked on us way after his shift was over. I guess we were there for a while! Service was great. All in all, a good place for a manly meal. I can do that sometimes too.

Really hate to re-review this place, since it's just a few blocks away from where I live and they have great beer. But I had one of the worst dining experiences ever on my last visit, on a quiet Sunday morning. In short: -Floating gnats in my water. Several gnats -No apology for the gnats -20 minutes for a replacement water -Half of my table's food came out 10 minutes before the other half -My food was cold, as was other folks' at the table -After asking the server for ketchup, Tabasco, etc, they didn't make their way to our table for 15 minutes -We asked our checks to be separated, and they were. Just with all the items jumbled. I had my main dish on mine, but someone else's drink and yet another person's appetizer. All of the bills were like this. Their prices have been on a steady climb the last couple years, so I can't justify going here with that level of service.

LOTS OF FOOD! I have been here twice. Each time I forget. LARGE PORTIONS! Well maybe its a normal portion size with SUPER HEAVY FOOD! The beer is good. No really! I know that Utah is known for their....shall we say strict alcohol laws. I can tell you as a beer lover the taste is still there! I have also had mixed drinks here and the ones that list a lot of different liquors are much stronger than expected. Let's get back to the food. I love it. Basic German grub. Don't expect to be wow'ed....BUT if spatzle is your comfort food, this is a great place for you. The brewhouse is not set up like and American bar (though they do have a bar). It is set up more like a German food/brew house. Tables are really close to each other so DON'T EXPECT PRIVACY!!

Hands down my favorite Brewery/Pub/Restaurant in Utah. For truly Bohemian food that was made to be enjoyed with only the best beer, the Bohemian is the only place to go in Utah. Personally can suggest the Pierogies & Brats, and the Goulash. My favorite beer is a seasonal unfiltered Pilsner which as good as anything you would find in Prague.

While out with Bros who Brunch we went to Bohemian Brewery. Not too many people know this but they have a great brunch. I had the french toast. This meal came with fruit, french toast that had blueberries in between the slices of toast making every bite heaven in my mouth. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a brunch place. Some of the other guys I was with had the egg Florentine.This looked very tasty and they were some of the first to finish. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The service was great as well. I don't know if it was because it was all dudes and she was working for a better tip ;) or if the staff is really that genuine.

David M.
Haven't been here in years and thought I'd give it another try. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer but, from what I've been told, they are good tasting with a variety of flavors. I ordered the Potato Pancakes and the Pierogie's and Bratwurst. The pancakes were good, but just a bit tough. Not sure why. The pierogie's and brats were good, but didn't knock my socks off. The sauerkraut was a bit over-cooked for my taste, liking it with a bit more crunch. Bottom line....if you love a good selection of beer and want some german/bohemian meals, this is a great place. If you are looking for "to die for" german food, you might want to look elsewhere.

The Bohemian is one of those places where the waiter will usually have to return to your table 2 or 3 times before your able to decide what you want to order. There are a lot of different options on the menu and I find it difficult to decide what I'm going to get every time I come here. In the meantime I started off by sampling a few different brews in order to find a favorite that I will get in a viking size stein. Every beer they serve on tap is made on location and every one I've tried so far has been as good as if not the best that Utah has to offer. For the meal I went with the salmon salad. At first I thought it might be a little over priced at $15 but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived due to the generous sized salmon steak. It was a delicious and filling salad and tasted as fresh as could be expected. My only critique would be that the salmon was pretty overcooked. Charred on the bottom and thoroughly grilled throughout. In their defense though I didn't specify how I would have wanted it prepared. I like my salmon medium rare with an emphasis on the rare, if I had requested it that way it probably would have been perfect. Props to the Bohemian for another good meal and great experience, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the pork schnitzel.

I have been here twice. Both times the food was awesome, the beer was phenomenal, and the service was horrid. The first time the waiter was in a hurry to close down for the night. He dropped our order off and then we never saw him again. The next time we stopped in and the waiter acted put out that we were there. Both times we complained to the manager about how poor the service was. I think this place would be five stars if they could get service down.

We really wanted to like this place. Close to home, brewing their own beer... But after a number of visits over 6 months, we've come to the conclusion that the service sucks, the food is salty and the beer is the best thing going. If you're there on a good night, you'll get decent service. If it's an off night, get ready to walk out before your food ever arrives. The beers are good, but you can get better elsewhere.

If it were to be judged solely on the service, then Bohemian Brewery & Grill would earn a "Two Thumbs Up" and a Gold Star, too. Add food to the equation, and I doubt the score would change. Within seconds of walking into the Bohemian for the first time, I was greeted with a smile, taken to a seat, and informed, quite pleasantly, that nothing I ate today had been bottled, canned or packaged. It was all fresh. "The only way you get better German food," he said, "is if you buy a plane ticket." Presumably, that ticket would need to land in Berlin. After eating, I had to agree. The food was great. I ordered a brat sandwich with a side of potato pancakes (no, don't ask me how potato pancakes qualify as a "side dish." I shared them, effectively halving my calorie intake for the meal to about the average for three normal people...and I am normal people). The sandwich was a sliced brat drowning in swiss cheese and sweet tasting sauerkraut on parmesan bread. It was a delicious combination and a cornucopia of flavor. I've eaten a few brats in my day. This one had more than a hint of fennel and when the contrast of the slightly salty parmesan bread was added to the equation, made for a delicious, if messy, meal. Accompanying the sandwich were garlic fries. When I say "garlic," I mean that the fries were literally flavored with fresh garlic. It was delicious, only adding to the palate of diverse flavors coming out of this meal. The only complaint I have was that as good as the fries were on the outset, and as hot as they were, as time passed they became soggy. Not too unexpected, but still, there it is. The potato pancakes were passably good. Crisp and fried on the outside and just thick enough to leave a soft mushy texture on the inside. I'll let you do the math on the calorie content of the meal. Regardless, it was enjoyable, and worthy of at least skipping a couple meals to compensate. Service: 9/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 (because the t.v.s were large and everywhere...distracting) Food: 7/10 Parking: 7/10 Eat-ability Quotient (an average of scores): 7.5/10

Went here on a slow night after a week camping in Moab. The beers (although only 4% alcohol) were the best micros I tasted in Utah. The sandwich plates came with garlic fries for only 9 bucks and were dinner sized and delicious. Nice atmosphere, nice people, I'd highly recommend this spot over a chain restaurant. Try the nachos and the grilled chicken sandwich.

Finally, after more than ten years I was able to try this restaurant! Sorry I did not do it sooner. We had a large group - 6 adults and 6 kids - and contrary to Yelp's quick information, this restaurant is fine for kids - kids menu and kid friendly! Menu not only included all standard pub fare (from fish and chips to burgers and sandwiches), but some great German and European specialties: schnitzel, gulash, sauerkraut, etc. Desserts were also good (especially the strudel) and the fresh smoothies for kids. We had lunch, and at the end of the day had a light dinner because lunch was so filling and good.

Nice vibe when you first enter the building...you feel like you are walking into a log cabin/ski lodge. The service is fairly friendly. However, for a brewery, you only have a choice of a scant four beers. The pilsner was pale and light, but more bitter than I like. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as advertised. The beer-battered onion rings were some of the worst things I have ever willingly put into my mouth. Though they were piping hot, they were oddly very hard and chewy (I could not even cut through them with my knife)...I suspect they were reheated. The bratwurst sandwich was strangely accompanied by lettuce and tomato, and we were given Heinz yellow mustard when we requested deli mustard! The garlic fries were of the standard battered frozen variety and were inoffensive. The chicken paprikash, rather than being juicy chunks of chicken stewed in a rich sour cream sauce perfumed by sweet and spicy paprika, was presented as a chicken cutlet paired with a strange, orange sauce devoid of any flavor. The spaetzle were ok, but rather heavier and more leaden than their competition at Vienna Bistro. One note...parking is tight in their lot...at peak times, you will have to drive over the curb and park in the adjacent sandlot.

I am not a big fan of their beer. I sampled them - They sell them in shot glasses portions which is a pretty good idea - but did not love any of them. I settle for the wheat beer but that wasn't great. The food was good though. The wings were nice, so were the fries.

Aimee C.
I've been here a zillion times and I always like it a lot. The service is always good, the food is always good, and the beer is always good. I would say the biggest reason I'm not here more often is the fact that they have a pretty severe lack of vegetarian options (I personally don't blame them because I happen to like meat) so it's hard to go there very often when my other half doesn't partake. Most of the time I have been here with large groups, and they are always happy to accommodate, happy to split the check, and handle the groups like champs.

Ate dinner here on a one night stay in the city, we shared the Buffalo burger and the soup of the day. Of course a few cocktails and brews. The soup a spicy corn chowder was great, one of the best I ever had. The buffalo burger was also exceptional. It was cooked perfectly with bacon and blue cheese to top it off. We also had the garlic fries which were the best i've ever had. I would give those 6 stars alone. I had a martini which was just ok and a couple glasses of wine. Hubby tried several of the micro brews, said they were good but could have been colder. The decor is very woodsy with antlers all over the place, what you would expect in this part of the country. It appeared to be filled with local as midvale isn't much of a tourist town. The service was great and all the staff were very friendly. Took some pic and i'll up load them later Maybe!

This place is top notch for authentic German food. Hands down. Ambience feels old world. Waitstaff is friendly and even had a German accent, even though I doubt all the employees do. I had the perogies with sausage and sauerkraut. That is possibly to die for, or maybe having a pinky lopped off. My wife had the schnitzel (pork) with potatoes and she said it was the closest she has had since her youth. (She spent several years in Germany as a youngin.) Oh yeah also did I mention they are a microbrewery? And that you can purchase their beer for consumption at home? They have four different types, two of which we had and they were good. Definitely coming back here if we are in the area.

Ahh the Garlic Burger... It's the gift that keeps on giving! Been here a few times, and I have yet to try the house brewskies! Will have to do that someday! But I have a favorite menu item here at Bohemian, and that is the Garlic Burger! This is a 1/2 lb, cooked to order, fresh onion bunned, cheddar cheese melted, and bacon topped burger that is quite possibly one of the best garlic burgers I have ever had! The "Gift": Now let me warn you... this burger comes with side effects. You will burp this bad boy for a few hours! (for me over 8 hours). So if you need an excuse to get away from your woman, because the stench coming from your pours and mouth is... well... tasty all over again (for both of you... ewwe OK I'll stop now), you have found your burger! But if you like your mate, shall I suggest you both get one so you can offend each other equally! Why not a 5 star? The desert! First time with desert here, and I had the Chocolate Lava cake. There was nothing lava about it, or luke lava (hey that is a fun name... Luke Lava!!!) (whoops, side tracked again, back to the story). When I hear Lava Cake, I think warm cake with a gooey hot chocolate sauce with maybe a dollop of vanilla ice cream. NOPE, this was cold, and the texture was more like mousse. Was not a fan... but I ate it anyway. (It was my birthday desert after all). Others at the table had crepes that looked much more delicious. But seriously... everything I have had to eat here is pretty good. They even have calamari... (like I would eat that)... but others really dug it! Prices are average for this type of joint... the decor inside is warm and inviting, and the staff is very nice and attentive to my constantly empty glass of diet soda! (damn, think what my bill would be like if they filled me up on beer at the rate I drink soda!) Will I be back? Heck yeah! And one of these days I am going to try the Bohemian Brew! Until next time I eat... Doc

The Bohemian is one of my favorite local restaurants that I frequent. They make a great reuben sandwich and the garlic fries are always tasty. The wait can be long on the weekends, even if you make a reservation and the last time I ate there the server spilled warm cream sauce on my jacket and ignored our table for most of the rest of the evening. I usually stick to take out- 4 stars though just based on the food quality.

The food was pretty good. I enjoyed my chicken but generally tasteless. The beers all tasted the same. This was my first experience with Utah beer. We went to Squatters later in the week and the beer was far superior. The waitstaff was okay, she seemed to let us linger when we ordered a pitcher of beer.

Lured by the prospect of good pierogi, my girlfriend and I fell right into this tourist trap of a restaurant. We left, $59 dollars lighter, filled with regret and mediocre food. Our server was friendly but inept. We asked to substitute something for a Bratwurst side on the pierogi but they messed it up. We ended up with a breaded chicken (without the peirogi), for which they charged $17! Horrible. I ordered the Reuben and got a BLT. Vegetables seemed cooked from a can. The beer was good but not good enough to redeem to redeem the food. This was one of the rare cases where we considered leaving no tip. We did, though, and just put the experience behind us. In short, the ambiance was a nice change but the service poor, and the overpriced food even worse. Leave this place to the foreign exchange students and settle for a box of frozen Ms. T's.

We had dinner here twice during our vacation and really enjoyed it. We tried the sampler to help us figure out what beer we wanted, for 50 cents a glass it was worth it. The Viennese was fabulous. The food was good. Quite a variety, everything from burgers to brats. The pierogi, sauerkraut and brat plate was hearty and delicious. The burgers were good and the haddock did not disappoint. We ate at the bar and found the bartender to be friendly and attentive. The last time we were here was 5 years ago. We were happy to see at the restaurant was still here and thriving.

Great food and good portions for the price. I totally recommend getting the beer sampler if you have a large group of people. It's 50 cents for a pretty big shot glass, sharable between 2-6 people. For appetizers, I recommend the garlic fries and the cauli-cakes (cauliflower cakes). We went before dinner time so service wasn't that great. They didn't come with water until maybe 5-10 minutes after we were seated.

Their beers are brewed by German purity standards, the food is delicious and a real value for the portions and quality. I just love everything at Bohemian. No matter what anyone believes, this is the best garlic burger in the state. Great variety of German dishes, pub food, and pizzas. I've brought in parties from 2-40 and had great service no matter how many they were serving.

We were pleasantly surprised at how good this brew pub is. Had the salmon salad, which was very good. Good portion and the same was cooked beautifully. My boyfriend had the pierogies and bratwurst and loved his meal, especially the mustard! We took home a growler because the beer was delicious. Excellent service by Alex. Highly recommend. We'll be going back. Lots of TVs for viewing your favorite sports.

Great food! Excellent beer! Fred, our waiter, was so knowledgeable in how the food is prepared, where it came from, what spices are used etc... he was so enthusiastic about the food and his job, it made being there and eating the delicious food, that much more of a great experience! The brats are the best I've ever had. The sauerkraut which they make, is like no sauerkraut I've ever had before, incredible!! I was with five friends and everyone ordered a different meal and everyone was pleased. The Bohemian is #1 on my list of restaurants to visit next time I am in Salt Lake City!

I have been here for a while & it was hard to decide what to get because everything looked good. I had the salmon fish & chips & it was awesome. I will definitely come back more often. The sign out front mentioned they did brunch, I am going to try that also.

Beer is great food is better. The garlic burger is one of the top three I've had in my life and is the best in Utah.

Wife and I went here for the first time on our weekly apps and drinks night. Decor is great and homey. Love the fireplace and log cabin feel. We were told the appetizers were half price. This is only on certain apps and I even asked my waiter if the apps were half price and he said they were. So only one out of the three apps we ordered were half price. Had I known that, we would have ordered dinner instead. Paid the same price. Please train your waitstaff properly. Crabcakes were meh. However, the tomato basil tapenade that came with it was outstanding. Wings were delicious with their home made bleau cheese sauce. Not very hot, but still good. And their signature garlic fries was well worth the price. I wanted to give 4 stars but the miss communication really made me kinda mad. I think another trip is in order to try some dinners.

I absolutely love Bohemian! German food and great microbrew beers - who could ask for more? I recommend trying the Pirogies & Bratwurst if you're looking for standard German fair, however the Bohemian Goulash is by far my favorite item on their menu.

4 stars on the food and 2 stars on the beer. The periogies and brats plate is fantastic and their sauerkraut is wonderful. Went with two friends and all of us couldn't get enough of this place, we even went back two nights later. At which time I had the meatloaf, which was also excellent. Service is good, nice environment, not too loud even though they have multiple tv's around the room. The beer is just okay. I mostly drink craft to microbrew beers, so I was interested in trying this place. All their beers are 4% abv, probably as required by some crazy Utah laws. Somehow, that really effects the flavor of the beer. I tried 3 beers, all were watery and a little flat tasting. I attribute that to the process they use to get all the beer to 4%. I'm used to 9%+ abv beer, so this was a big swing in the wrong direction. If your a beer geek, this is not your place. That said, the food alone is worth the trip and makes Hoppers food look like food court food.

Went here finally, after wanting to get there for a while.. i had the verona sandwich, which was delicious. my friend had something else which was even better, though both sandwiches were just a bit salty. service was fine, i liked the decor except for the stuffed deerheads, and they kept my water filled. only negative, a bit more pricey than i had in mind for lunch, but its ok for a splurge. i appreciated the nice touches in the parking lot, of all things. they planted grape vines in the chain link and put some nice trees in. Made me want to go in, and impressed me. i know, but i notice stuff like that. Don't know if I will return, a little $$$ for me, but maybe.

The brew is good but nothing spectacular, with all the microbreweries in Utah you really need to do something special to stand out. The food is delicous although over salty and over greasy sometimes. The cocktails are tres cher, but what do you expect? At least they are good and not watered down. Try the bohemian lemonade.The beers here always seem so heavy, if I drink one I can't really eat my food. This is a good place for a big group, a birthday or other large party for adults. It is nice and not divey at all. It's also a very safe bet for a first date or any other date really, out of towners you want to impress but not fight downtown parking, etc.

It was group dinner night. The only place large enough to hold a big group was Bohemian Brewery. This place is kind of like BJs, but had a log cabin theme with deer antlers and animal heads on the walls. What I ordered: 01. Midori sour ($5) - 3 stars The drink wasn't strong, but still tasty 02. Halibut Filet - ($22) - 3 stars It was surprisingly tasty. The fish had a cripsy parmesan crust and it was moist inside. I didn't really care for the side of mash potatoes or veggies... nothing memorable.

Log cabin style building is certainly appropriate for such a wonderful skiing destination - Salt Lake City. Hops are plentiful around the bar as decoration and the aroma is noticeable. Food is simply marvelous. Excellent variety and quality are hard to find. IMO this is why this place has stayed in business unlike the previous 2 or 3 brewpubs that failed in this same building. 4-6 beers are brewed here, so the selection is average. But unfortunately the good points stop here. As a beer lover, this place disappoints in the area that matters most - the beer. The beers are uninspiring, especially the so-called Weizen. The bar tenders can't seem to consistently tell me what this beer is, a hefeweizen that is lagered? what? why is it so flavorless and watery? Other Utah breweries do just fine with the 3.2% law but this weizen is an exception. The Vienna lager lacks the malt and hoppy character that a vienna lager is supposed to have, and the pilsener is more of an American pils than a Czech pils (light, low flavor profile, etc.). So, for quality, I must give a low score for quality in beer - which is one of the more important criteria for reviewing a brewpub. Other incidentals are worth mentioning. The service is sometimes terrible, simply terrible. Oddly enough, the owner has hamsters and the bar often smells like cedar shavings from the hamster cage. I couldn't tolerate the smell so I said something and the bartender informed me it was the hamster cage. Hmmm. In a restaurant? They may have corrected this error since then, but I cannot go back. They have VERY conservative hours too. Don't be surprised if the door is locked before midnight, even on a Friday or Saturday. Want a beer at 9:45 pm on a Thursday night? Sorry, but they close at 10pm. So, for excellent food in Salt Lake City head over to the Bohemian. Just don't bother with the beer.

We had a living social coupon for a growler and 4 pints glasses that expired on Feb 14 so decided to check out the restaurant for dinner - yes, it was Valentine's Day! It had been a couple years since we had visited. I now know why we have not been back. We were seated upstairs - I normally don't prefer being seated upstairs (you're further away - service is normally not as good) but Porcupine does it well! The upstairs area was very drafty with vents blowing from every position. I had to wear my jacket through the entire dinner. It took a bit longer than it should to even be acknowledged - we ordered a beer and a taster. Long story short....the service was slow (even though she really did try and was very nice). The food was bland at best. We ordered nachos and the poached pear salad. The nachos and salsa had very little flavor and the salad has large (too large) chunks of brie, wilted and rusted romaine, bland blue cheese dressing (how does that happen?). We were trying to get out of there so to expedite things my husband went downstairs to order the growler and pint glasses (our coupon). The "bar tender" looked at the coupon and loudly remarked "OHHHHHHH, that is going to take a long time ---- you'll have to wait quite a while" - I wonder if she would have treated him that way if she knew we had just spent $60 in food upstairs. As a restaurant, if you decide to offer living social or groupon etc. coupons you should honor them with grace. NEVER WILL WE RETURN to this embarrassment of a "brewery"

First time at Bohemian but I think I will be going back. They have a decent beer selection and the different sizes allow you to sample a few before you commit to one or another. The only drawback I saw was they have a chocolate bock. I am a fan of stouts and bocks but when you try to do this stupid chocolate bocks or stouts or raspberry ales you just muck about with the flavor and end up with rubbish. The BLT on rye was tasty. The rye was not overpowering like a marble rye but a very subdued flavor instead which allowed the peppered bacon to take center stage with the aoli playing a strong supporting role. The garlic fries are crispy and good if a little on the mild flavored side. All in all a good place to go for lunch where the service is top notch and the food is filling.

We have been to Bohemian Brewery 2 times now. The first time was delightful, we got to sit outside on their lovely patio on a nice day. I had the garlic burger with a pint of Czech pilsener and it was a tasty and memorable meal. Our most recent trip to Bohemian we tried the potato pancakes for an appetizer. We had never had potato pancakes so I do not have anything to compare them to. They were just okay though, tasted like hashbrowns served with sour cream and apple sauce. I had a pint of Vienesse this time and enjoyed it. My entree was the chicken schnitzel and Trevor ordered the blackberry brandy chicken. . . His entree looked EXACTLY and tasted like mine, only his had some purple sauce on it. I'm not very impressed by two dishes being the exact same thing, but it still tasted pretty good and I did eat it all. I do wish there was more parking available here. Bohemian hasn't blown my skirt up yet but I will return again.

My first visit to Bohemian dates few years back and since then we went with my wife few more times. After relocating from Chicago, we were ready to go and have some great authentic Czech and German food in SLC again. Unfortunately that was not the case.Don't get me wrong, their pizza and sandwiches are great but it suppose to be Czech and German cuisine that everyone on Yelp praises that is falling way short of expectations. Brats are tasteless, chewy and I had better pierogy from freezer section in supermarket, not to mention that the whole combo of these two doesn't match well. Wife had a goulash which, I think is one of the better choices on their menu. but some great staples of Czech cuisine are missing, like very traditional bacon stuffed beef in cream veggie sauce called "Svickova", roasted duck with bread dumplings or roasted pork meat with potato dumplings and greens to name a few. And brats and very plain schnitzel representing Germany? Then there is the beer. I like the lager and Weisse but what the hell is Vienesse? I would love to say that Cherny bock is great too, but by definition of bock beer which is always higher in alcohol %, this just doesn't cut it. It's great money maker for the brewery due their ability to sell all of their beer in cans in any supermarket in Utah though. To gain some perspective to this somewhat negative review, I've spent 25 years living in Central Europe, our family comes from Austria, Czech Republic and Germany, I've ran catering business here and in Europe and know how real European beer taste like. It is like going to Olive Garden for great Italian food ( that is called a sarcasm ).

Ok, so I finally took the opportunity to walk myself, and my lagging ass (they made me leave the donkey out on the hitching post) into this place, as I've known of it's existence for about a year now. I have wanted to make time to try it since then, but due to the fact that I don't exactly live next door, I've had a little bit of a hard time, finding time to make it up to this so called Bohemian Brewery. I mean, you would think it is in Bohemia for some ungodly reason. Who knew! On with the review: So my brother came all the way from Phoenix, AZ, and made arrangements to get together with several friends that he had not seen in quite some time. I was included so I thought that there could not have been a better time to get myself up there and give this place a whirl! I was glad that I did, because once inside, I didn't have a care in the world other than having myself a good time. On with the review: So I get escorted... ok Stop! My wife was with me as well, so I must cut the strings about the escort... WE, kindly followed a nice young Bohemian Hostess, as she took us upstairs to a cozy sort of loft, kind of room, which wasn't really a room, other than it was a dining space, upstairs, which had a nice overlook of the dining area below. I'm guessing this space is normally used for larger groups, and business type meetings, and of course restaurant overflow. It was scantly decorated, and the coolest thing of all, was that there were a bunch of old, old, and older scooters lining the edges of the room. Vespa was the only brand I recognized, but boy were they cool. Some of these were things you may have seen perusing the countryside, of the Czech Republic back in the 60's and 70's. Fantastic! On with the review: First things first! Where's the Beer? I was a bit surprised to find out that they only served 4 different beers. My first thought was OMG, are you kidding me? Then my brother said they also carried a seasonal brew, which made it 5 beers on tap. Boy was I relieved, although it's a long way from having 99 beers on the wall like I had once imagined. Ok, wait, that's from an old childhood song that I often sang as , you guessed it, a child. Manifesting their "Brew Menu", the waiter explained a couple of the beer varieties to me, and the several different sizes of serving glasses in which they were delivered to your table. I elected to go with the "Manly" size! Manly, being because... Well, you know. I'm a man, what else!!! Geez! So I order up my beer, and a couple of minutes later, the waiter is backing up a crane, he had to bring in to deliver my beer. This thing was not manly at all! It was incredibly HUGE! I dropped to my knees, as it was set on the table in front of me, and all I was thinking was that I was receiving beer manna from heaven! Wow, I thought... If the beer inside of this big crevasse, is as good, as it is big, then the whole world can end outside the doors of this place, and I wouldn't care. News Flash!! -- Good news people... The world didn't end, and the better news was that the beer was damn good! So good, I drank two of the mighty "Manly" offerings. These things must have been 36 to 40 ounces each! WOW again! On with the review: So, the Space Shuttle missions are completed. Do you ever think we will go into spac... Oooops, sorry! The "Manly" beers are still effecting my thought processes! On with the review: On to the food. I don't remember anything about the food except it was really, really good. Can I get another "Manly" beer please? On with the review: To try and wrap this beer fest up, the food was really good! I had the Perogies and Brat's. Never had them before, but they were really quite good. Along with that, they served sauerkraut which was very good as well. A little different in taste than the sauerkraut you get in a bottle at your local supermarket, but very tasty, and not over powering in taste like some kraut varieties you may find. Brat's were very good as well however, I thought they could have been a little more flavorful! They were a little mild in taste than what I was expecting, but maybe that is the unique thing about this seemingly authentic like German/Czech style fare. They did leave a good taste in my mouth, unlike some other sausages I have experienced eating over the years. There was no after effect from the brat's either, which definitely was a plus for me. I did not have to make a pit stop at the Tums Factory at midnight, which BTW is directly fed into my medicine cabinet, via an underground air forced tubular supply line. OMG! On with the review: My wife had a similar dish, with Brat's, Mashed Potatoes and Sauerkraut. Her meal was just as satisfying! Say's she! You go girl! My brother and other guests were served up equally satisfying dishes from 1/2 pound burgers to salads. All looked very nice, presentation was impeccable with each, and good times ensued all throughout the evening! Thumbs Up! Way Up!

I don't know if the owner was there when we went but WOW this is a friendly place. Once we had been seated about 4 people checked in on us to see what we needed. Food was good, I didn't try the beer (went irish whiskey on the cold sunday) but I have heard it is phenomenal. Watched some football ate some comfort food!(the soup of the day was to die for) Definitely will be back.

I loved the place. Honestly, I can't share my experience about food or beer because I was not hungry (as I read portions are too big, I prefered don't eat). I'm a traditional beer girl and I'm not too friendly with new surprising tastes because you never know if you will enjoy the beer or you will be drinking all the glass with that strange sensation of 'I should have the other one'. But I can say that I loved the menu, there were some traditional dishes based on mexican food, and some interesting and quite healthy new suggestions. I liked the music, the waitress, the pictures on the way to the restrooms and the vespa exposition upstairs. I loved it!!! I felt like been in a lodge and that feeling is always comfortable, nobody can say the opposite. It seems it was an animal slaughterhouse tiem ago... who knows... the fact is that I liked the place. It's a lil far, though, but once you are there with the right company, you forget distances. =)

Horrible service, I wish I could give 0 stars. The first time we saw our waitress was ten minutes after we were seated. Took another ten minutes to get two sodas and a beer. My husband ordered a burger and we waited 40 minutes for ketchup (which never arrived). During this time our waitress was attentive to the three tables around us. Finally asked the manager for boxes and the check, she brought us boxes but no apology for the lack of service and we still had to wait for our waitress to bring our check. What a huge waste of time and money. Save the trip and go to a different brewery.

I've been meaning to hit this place up for some time and had the chance last week. It wasn't very busy on a Friday afternoon which was good because we had a group of about 20. The wait staff seemed a bit slow, but that could be because there was only one of her and a lot of us and there were a couple other tables she was taking care of at first too. I really enjoyed the beer (Weiss) that I had for lunch. I liked it so much I had to have another. I just had a club sandwich with the garlic fries. The sandwich was okay. I was surprised to have a club with only ham, but I probably should have read the menu a bit better. The bacon on it was delicious. The garlic fries were tasty, but maybe just a touch less garlic. Overall it was really good and I'll be going back, if only for the beer.

i've been here many more times since this review. they've udpated their menu (thank you!). they still have the one waitress that is so dang rude..why does she always wait on meee?? gotta ask for someone else next time. i really like this place, though. it's a great one for most any occasion. great beer and something for everyone. you know what would be nice, though? can you NOT charge $3.50 for one lousy pierogie? ok, it's so not lousy...but seriously.. it's just dough and potatoes. DELICIOUS dough and potatoes but hey, i'll eat a box of mrs. T's for less than that and be happy! i would suggest an actual PIEROGIE entree sold at a fair cost..

I love the atmosphere at this place - fun, social, perfect for beer drinking. The pilsner is my litmus test and it passed. Very lovely and really great with my Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich Ever (from the $9 lunch menu). This sandwich was delicious on light rye bread, ooozing with cheese (swiss I think), killer heirloom tomatoes and a balsamic drizzle too! It was pretty large though and too much to finish... the garlic "pommes frites" were undeniable.

I can't believe that the average rating for this place is three and a half stars. I'll start out by saying that I don't drink, so I can't address the people who think the beer was bad, but I can sure talk about everything else. Around our table, we had the garlic fries to start, then brats & pirogies, Bohemian goulash, and schnitzel. I've had the same garlic fries before several other places, but that doesn't mean that they were bad at all. Quite to the contrary. They were straight-outta-the-fryer hot when they got to our table, and the aioli was excellent. The brats were a touch overcooked for my taste, but the flavor was just about perfect. The pirogies? Fugeddaboudit. Best I've had in the US. I ordered schnitzel out of nostalgia, and the fact that you really kind of have to try to do schnitzel wrong, and was very happy with the result. It should have been veal, but the pork was good. I had our server sub spaetzle for mashed potatoes; should have stuck with the spuds. The spaetzle weren't bad, but they were out of a box, and I was hoping for more. The Bohemian goulash was out of this world! I wished I had ordered that and an extra fork. The dumplings were perfect and the sweet paprika gravy was just this side of heaven. What I can't say enough about, though, was the service. I don't know if we got lucky, or they're all this good, or it was a particularly good night, or what, but this was some the best restaurant service I've had in years. Nothing was a problem, questions were answered quickly and accurately, we never had to ask for drinks, and we never got the "we work in a trendy, popular joint so we're doing you a favor" vibe that others have described. I went so far as to track down the GM and make sure that the excellent service was recognized. It didn't seem to be a surprise that we were impressed, so I think that's a good sign. Next time we're back in Salt Lake City, we'll be back for sure!

Found this place on line and decided to give it a try, they brewed their own German style lagers and offered pretty authentic German food. About 6 miles outside dwntwn SLC so it's more in a suburban setting than an urban one. The interior had a log cabin feel with fireplace, hard floors and log panelling on the walls. Never been to Germany, but hey i bought it. Skied extra hard today, so i wanted something no frills and to the point satisfy my hunger type of place, and my past experiences with German food, seemed right on line. Skip the appetizers, and started with a litre of vienna style lager, bout a quart or so, then ordered my plate. Bohemian goulash (tender beef braised in a paprika sauce) was exactly what i was waiting for. Large chunks of beef, braised til fork tender, in a rich, slightly spicy sauce was hearty and d-lish! i subbed the bread dumplings for spaetzle (a german pasta-like dumpling) and that was good, as it was kind of pan fried with butter. My only "beef " with my meal is that that's all there was. Being a little more healthful these days, i wish that there were some type of vegetable to accompany the rich dish, whether steamed, roasted or even braised with the dish. It just seems to balance it a lot more, but from previous German food experiences in the past, i was not the least bit surprised. Service a bit spotty but well intentioned, and they have a nice selection of souvenir clothing to take home with your very full belly.

We went with family and I wasn't very impressed. I didn't get to try beers, because it was not worth the hassle I would have lived through from his family about me drinking (since they don't imbibe). The spatzle was overcooked, but the garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. The meats were cooked well, but side veggies were definitely undercooked. Service was slow considering it was Labor day and they were staffed for a busy day, even though the restaurant was mostly empty.

One of the best places to get a rueben in the salt lake area. The homemade sauerkraut is the best i'v had anywhere. The services is excellent every time I go in the owner greets me and and give me a rundown of what's new. You can tell he love what he does.

I really love this place...the food is always good, Really good. I have had so many different things on the menu here and am never disappointed. I have to recommend the Ruben if you are into those or the Prague Salad and obviously a manly sized beer to go with it. I am pretty sure its a good thing I moved away from it because at one point I was coming here 3x a week.

The best sauerkraut ever! Instead of being drenched in vinegar it actually has a sweet zing to it. It's amazing! Sunday brunch is great! Love the bloody Mary's and mimosas! The food has always been great! It's usually busy so sometimes it can take a while to get the food. The serving staff is not always the best, but the manager is very nice. Oh, and the have great microbrews!

On this last visit I had the bratwurst and Pierogies. I didn't think I could find Pierogies in SLC, but I was wrong and they were good. The whole meal was! My husband loves the meatloaf. We had the garlic buds for the appetizer ... which I probably would not get a second time. Not too long of a wait and good service. One of our favorite places. Parking is not good on a busy night, though.

Good delicious I ordered brats with sauerkraut and pierogi very tasty, my husband ordered the club with garlic fries, also very good. We both ordered beers, waitress offered suggestions even brought samples we we were not sure. The place was very clean and service was excellent. I will defiantly go back. We went about 2 on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside perfect weather .

4 stars for the food. 3 stars for the beer (average, but good German style beers). First off, I like the style of the restaurant, looks like a German ski chalet from the outside. Parking was a little difficult and awkward (if you circle and there are no spots, you pretty much have to exit to the street without the opportunity to circle back around). The food menu has great choices. Besides the German choices of Bratwurst and Schnitzel, they have a nice selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, soup and wood-fired pizzas. Woo Hoo they have Buffalo burgers (bison beef which is low fat and tasty)! You can swap the garlic fries for any of the other sides - try the spaetzle ! The buffalo was cooked well and tasted great with nice amount of tomato and almost too much bacon (can you ever have too much bacon). The beer was fine but nothing unique. The Schwarzbier (darker ale) was my fav, and they have a nice lager and two light pilsner and Hef which are fine but not for someone who enjoys more varieties and IPAs. I tried 4 tasters ($0.50 each) of their 4 styles and it was a good way to taste your way through Germany - Bohemian style. I like this place, but wouldn't go out of my way if I was staying in downtown SLC to get here since there are plenty of options walkable from downtown.

This place is nicely decorated. It feels sort of like a ski lodge. The food selection is outstanding. I got the bratwurst and sauerkraut, it was delicious! Everyone's food they ordered was delicious at my table. The beer is just ok. The service however is horrible. Not sure what was going on. It took 10 minutes to get me a CAN of beer and a glass. Longer for food.

Easy 5 out of 5. I absolutely love this place. Great food and even better beer. Service is reasonable and I have not had to wait for extended periods of time. I also like that I can take some beer "to-go" in a Bohemian branded growler. If I have a favorite place to eat, this is it. Only ding I can think of is the parking. It's usually pretty hard to find a spot, even when it's not extremely busy.

Really enjoyed it. Seated immediately; friendly, efficient waitress, large, diverse menu. Buddy & I both had the Bohemian Schnitzel. He had pork, chicken for me. Very tender and moist with great flavor. Substituting red cabbage for the mashed potatoes was no problem. Nice side of FRESH vegetables; not the frozen medley that many places serve. Will definitely return soon. Beer was not bad, either. Go early...business was brisk on this Tuesday evening.

We came to Salt Lake to ski and asked a girl in a coffee shop what her favorite place to eat was. She sent us here, and man, am I glad she did The food is awesome - we had the calamari to start and it was literally the best calamari appetizer we've ever had. We followed that with the brat and pierogis and beef stroganoff - both excellent. We also sampled all their craft beer for $.50 a sample which is a great way to try them. The service was impeccable; very friendly, helpful and quick. If we are ever back in town, totally coming back here.

Randy H.
Was fair. We where in a large group, and we ordered quite a variety of food from the menu. I am sorry to say that there was nothing spectacular. Steak and brats where over cooked. Fish and chips, fish was dry but had a decent flavor. Over all the food was fair, but very overpriced. Now for service this was spectacular. Our waitresses was very friendly and attentive. She even took the cake we brought in for a birthday got some candles and brought back out lit. She made the overall experience worth being there. Can't say we go back on our own. But would eat there again if someone wanted to meet there. Really only rates 2.5 star's

I finally made it here after seeing it for so long. The deck was welcoming. It's dog friendly too. The large menu contains a lot of dishes that pair really well with the beer. They also do a nice mix of pub grub you'd expect in America as well as old World dishes. The food has a lot of nods to Czech cuisine. They will never be able to match the fresh beers of Pilsen and Budvar, nor the experience of eating and drinking on the square in Prague. However, you can taste the heritage in beer and food while not trying to just be a mimic. I should have come before this. I'll certainly be back.

Boehemian Brewery was the choice of a friend of mine, who ran the 2013 Park City marathon in Park City, UT on 08/17/2013 and I did the 2013 Run with the Horses Marathon in Green River, WY. We all met up here at the Bohemian Brewery in Midvale to celebrate all our accomplishments of the day. I had to rush it down from GreenRiver, WY 2 1/2 hours away to make it in time for a 6:30pm dinner reservation. Thankful as ever that I did make it and they haven't ordered yet! That awesome! It was a nice experience overall and we dined outside on the patio. The ambiance was nice and it wasn't close to the street, but we heard a couple of ambulances during our meal. Located in Midvale on 7200 S next to the I-15S ramp, the Bohemian Brewery was just what I needed after running around Green River, WY that day. I really wasn't thinking, but I just ordered off the top of my head and not paying attention to price. Yes folks, this place is kind of pricey, but it is good. Our server was Jordan. He was good for us. I ordered first the large beer - the green Pilsen to taste. It was a giant manly sized beer that cost $8.50. I was a bit sticker shocked, but whatever. Next, I ordered the pub steak rare. I thought that it came out a whole steak, but the presentation came out cut and drenched in some gravy sauce. This was certainly no steakhouse, but the prices tend to dictate so. It came with garlic mash potatoes and I ordered a side of garlic fries on the side. The taste was good, but not great. Thought that the portions were somewhat adequate, but could have been more generous, especially with the vegetables. Maybe they're secretly telling you you're not supposed to eat that much? Maybe, maybe not. The best part was the company and that made the pain of the day's marathon earlier in the day fade away into the Wasatch mountains. Service was good and tended to mimic fine dining, although it was just a casual affair. It felt more upscale than I thought, but then again, I over think it. The sticker shock came when I received the bill, but I should've known better. The entire experience was well worth seeing my marathoner friends whom live in and around SLC again. It was awesome. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant and brewery just because of the selection of beer and various local beers they have on tap. The prices for food can be pricey, so be forewarned. They have a private parking lot and there was ample parking, at least on a Saturday night. Not sure what it is like on a typical weekend, but thankful that there were plenty of spaces. I enjoyed myself and hope you would too. Cheers! Support local! B

Great beer. Great atmosphere. The cherny schwarzbier is awesome. Didn't have any food, but everything I saw everyone around me getting looked awesome. Just waiting for buddies tires to get done.

Stopped in here last week for a meal on a work trip. The decor and atmosphere are pretty fun and it definitely does make you feel like you're in a Bohemian Brewery. I bet this place would be a stellar location to catch the latest Champion's League match or just any futbol in general. The food seemed slightly overpriced for the quality, but the food was still very good. I really didn't have anything negative to say other than the temperature of the place. DANG was it warm in there. I'll probably consider this place again the next time I roll through the Salt Lake City area.

We are visiting Utah and found this gem up the street from our hotel. AMAZING! great food! My hubby had a pub steak, I had a garlic burger, our daughter had mac and cheese. All with Nachos as a starter. Needless to say, we didnt finish it all! it was SO yummy! we will be going back before we end our trip to Utah

Fast friendly service. We took the advice of the waiter and ordered the blackberry brandy chicken, then played it safe with the fish n chips. The chicken was superb. The fish was good, especially like the garlic fries and slaw. The roasted garlic app was messy but really unique and tasty. Also good cherny black beer. I'll be back the next time I'm in SLC.

The food has always been fantastic and that's the main reason that I keep going back! I've never left dissatisfied... The atmosphere is pretty cool but the service is 50/50. I'll be honest when I say that I dred having Karen as my server... She has made me late to work several times on lunch breaks even when I have told her that I was on a time crunch. On one occasion she left me and a coworker for twenty minutes after she'd cleared our plates before she brought our check. I was going to give them a 3/5 but now that they switched from Pepsi to Coke... I had to give them a 4/5. Great Place with Great Food!

Went to Bohemian tonight with a girlfriend. I've never had a bad meal and tonight was no exception. Was greeted by Jason at the door and while waiting for my friend, I inquired about the special. He is very knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. To make a long story short he talked me into the special, Jagerschnitzel with red cabbage and Spatzle. I was NOT disappointed. The pork was fork tender, breaded lightly and to perfection and oh so good.The sauce on the side consisted of mushrooms (yum) in a sauce with just enough bite in the tangy flavor to make my taste buds do the happy dance. The red cabbage was mouth watering and the Spatzle oh so good. Highly recommended! Thanks Jason for talking me into the special

Gosh - I hate writing "Meh" reviews, but I really can't wax lyrical about this place. I'm not sure if I've become a pub-grub snob, or what, but they serve regular pub-grub, cooked like pub grub (ie: nothing outstanding). That said - if you need a garlic cure, try their garlic fries. You'll be sweating the stuff for days. The day we were there it was a warm spring day and they had the fire going inside. Guess where we were sitting.... yep, right by the fire. I think I came out with heatstroke. I believe the fireplace table was punishment for not wanting to sit at the small 2-seater table, in the dark, by the back door. I also prefer my Mimosa (aka Bucks Fizz to my countrymen) served in a Champagne glass rather than a small red wine glass... just sayin'.

I've been back a few times for dinner, and overall I'm still a big fan. This is such a unique treasure in this part of the valley; there's nothing else like it. When my uncle came to town (he's a beer fan) I knew this is where I'd take him. He was indeed a fan of their brews, and especially the little $1 sampler glass. Once again, I can't speak to the authenticity of the Bohemian-ness, but there are some dishes that you' won't find anywhere else. And the portions are pretty generous. I was snarfing down schnitzel and filled myself right up. Ambiance is unique. Like a European hunting lodge. With a patio. And grape vines outside. It's a thing, trust me. It's a solid bet if you're looking for something different. The food isn't exploding through the barriers of epicurean exploration, but it's not trying to. Beer. Brunch. Dinner. Do it.

My husband and I tried the Bohemian for the second time this evening. I do love the atmosphere and sitting outside today was delightful. I must admit, my husband is easy to please and he enjoyed his meal and his beers. However, my Bohemian Schnitzel was terribly overcooked and tough. I ordered the chicken, but think I must have been served the pork due to the toughness. I was only able to eat a couple of bites and took the rest home to the dog. She loved it! The mashed potatoes were good but I agree with other reviewers that the veggies were way undercooked. I had a couple of Bahama Mamas to drink. I'm a lightweight when it comes to liquor, but after drinking two of them, I felt confident that little if any alcohol was put in the drinks. Overall for me a real disappointment. I must comment on our server. He was courteous, knew the menu and was delightful.

I have been to Bohemian Brewery once before my visit today, I was impressed then and I still am today. While I was hungover and couldn't think of ordering beer today I do love their beers and buy them frequently. The building is adorable and I was seated right next to the fireplace. The gentlemen that seated us explained that they don't even own a freezer so they don't have that fake food and everything is fresh. Our waiter greeted us promptly and made sure we were well taken care of the entire visit. I had the grilled veggie sandwich and it might have just been my current physical condition but I was blown away by the combination of mushrooms veggies and the perfect amount of cheese. The fries are really good too. I want to come here for Sunday brunch soon.

This is as authentic as it gets outside of Bavaria. The schweinhaxe with red cabbage and mashed was as good as it was in Garmisch. Their beers are delectable and pair well with the dinners. There is a good selection of Weisbiers for whatever dish you get. The Spaetzl was a little dry but that was insignificant compared to the rest of the meal.

Monica Y.
I love that this place is so close to my place. Brought a friend here and had a fantastic dinner. Our server was so attentive and nice! Five stars just for that. I had the garlic burger, which was amazing, and my friend had the brats and pierogies which I've also had before. It was perfect with our hefes. This is a cool place to eat, like a cabin inside.

Was in mid ale on a ski trip with friends, we were looking for a place close by the hotel we were staying at. Place had great atmosphere, servers were attentive and friendly. Food was good quality and value for money. Ended up coming here two nights. Both nights had the New York sirloin done to perfection, also had the Viennese lager, yum. Great pub atmosphere for casual dining experience

Got the new York steak. It was cooked perfectly and was amazing. Great staff. Very knowledgeable. Get there early because parking quickly disappears since they have an open bar.

Stepping into the Bohemian Brewery is like stepping into an old pub, with it's log interior, stone fireplace and rustic animal heads mounted on the walls. The contemporary artwork and the cool staff round out the old-world effect and create a hip eastern-European vibe. The Bohemian brews lagers and only lagers, the traditional way, adhering to German purity standards. Their four staples are Czech Pilsner, Viennese Lager, Cherny Bock and Bavarian Weiss, along with a small assortment of other seasonal brews which are always really good. You can get them on tap in a myriad of sizes, from pint to growler. Pro Tip: you can order "tastes" of each beer for .50 a pop. It's a great way to have a flight of beers. As for the menu, you can get all types of gastro-pub fare, but these folks are Czech. Order Bohemian food. They do a mighty fine job of it, I promise you no regrets or longing stares at your buddy's plate. I wish I got a picture of their schnitzel. It really is a thing of beauty. As it goes, I ate it so fast, that all I had to photograph was my beer, which I was savoring a bit more slowly. Delicious beer, cozy environment, fantastic brats, pierogies, and red cabbage. We've even taken "real" Germans here and they loved it.

This review needs to be broken down. Parts of our experience was awesome and some not so good. . Service: They seated us and served us fast. However, then no one checked on us to see if we needed anything. After we were served our server never came back until we were done. Both of us would have liked to have another drink while we were still eating. And when he came for the check he didn't even ask if there was anything else we wanted. Food: My husband gives it a 5 star. I give it a 3 star. I chose my entree based on the Spaetzle but it was dry and very bland basically had no taste. The pork shank and cabbage was awesome. We will go back, it wasn't that bad.

I estimate that the total caloric intake of the meal that I just consumed was 1276. First, the perfectly browned toast with a slab of real butter and grape jelly 275 calories. Then the perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs with a dash of Tabasco 140 calories. Ahhh, the main entree has arrived. Blueberry creme cheese filled French Toast fried to perfection drowned in authentic maple syrup 861 calories. Our server was awesome and kept all of our drinks full and really cared about us. I love this place! I'm off to the gym to burn this off so I can return tomorrow!

The food is was pretty good. The garlic burger really lives up to it's name. I was happy to know that they grind their own beef here. I think that is pretty cool as it's not something you see often. Glad to find a place where I can get a medium rare burger, however; It wasn't cooked medium rare like I asked it to be. :( I do have one bt of advice for the dark haired waitress with the red lipstick. I get it, I used to do waitressing and I know how stressful it can be to deal with staff who don't quite pull their weight. However just because you complain about them where they can't hear it doesn't mean others can't hear it. Don't want to hear complaints about bad staff while I'm eating. I will be back though for sure

Very upset! This is (was) one of our favorite places. Last night our service was terrible and contributed to 1) My daughters order being wrong; 2) Our drinks never refilled; 3) Cold food. We really couldn't understand our waitress- her accent wasn't the issue, she was literally inaudible and had the temerity in the end to give us our check and stand there waiting for me to scramble and pull out my credit card. The food wasn't up to standards either- my bratwurst was accompanied by a small ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. We expected much better because we have received much better multiple times. Very depressing to lose a consistent part of our restaurant rotation- We won't be back.

I took my wife and daughter and we all enjoyed the meal. Fantastic service and very quick. Great atmosphere and kid friendly. Host went out of his way to talk to our 5 year old. Will be coming back for sure. The stroganoff was fantastic and my wife's french onion soup was perfect.

I have eaten here plenty of times. I'm in the area having my truck worked on so I took my bike with me and rode over to eat and have a drink. The server was fine with letting me in with my bike. It's a new bike and in the 800 range, I only say this to make it clear why I wasn't ok with leaving it outside. They had a corner table right out of the way and a corner I could set my bike. The old lady who came up said I could leave it on the patio and it would be fine. I looked at her and said "the open patio". As if a criminal won't walk up on a patio that has no customers on it and steal a bike. The patio was closed down, so it was as safe as just leaving it on the sidewalk. I said I'm sorry I didn't realize it was such a big deal and that I will take my business elsewhere. I will not be eating there today or ever again. I wasn't asking to brin

First time hear, but I am also from out of state were real alcohol rules apply... LMAO They have some really good beer, first off. The barmaid was very nice and helpful, had a big hot pretzel, it was good wish they had the Bar cheese that should go with a GERMAN bar or Pretzel... This is in incomplete review, hadn't sampled the menu.... This was dinner service, but I don't think there was anything on the menu below $10, even appetizers, and the appetizer list was meh.... Not trying to knock them, but think they can do better... I will try there food and give a updated review.....

Landed here after a show set up day - close to the hotel and recommended by the front desk. The beer was cold and tasty, the schnitzel was a 3, maybe - I have had sooooo much better. Our server had twice the tables she should have, so the service was not good. Rustic, pretty noisy place - you can you better in Salt Lake.

I have been here many times but never wrote a review yet apparently. I have always had great experiences when coming here. Great food and of course great beer. The service is quick and super friendly. We came in on a Friday night at 7 expecting a long wait. But only waited about 15 minutes for a table of 4. I would suggest you get anything from the German side of the menu. I had the bratwurst on this trip. Oh so good with the incredible sauerkraut they make. I can't wait for my next trip back.

One of my favorite restaurants. Love the food here. Great unique flavors. Neat and unique items on the menu. Not necessarily a huge focus on being healthy or low-fat... :), but awesome flavors. Wish I were in the area more often. Great fun atmosphere as well. Good staff. They need a larger parking lot though.

Delicious! The food was cooked PERFECTLY. The menu was wonderful and the drinks were HUGE and amazing! (I had a long island iced tea) the service was good, and the atmosphere very pleasing. I will be coming here again and again and again! You DEFINITELY NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE!

This place is great! I am Bohemian and grew up eating this food made by my mom, grand ma and aunts. I can assure you that this place is really good! The Sauerkraut is awesome, the grilled pork tenderloin is just delicious! Their brews are off the charts! I love this restaurant and go here every time I am in Salt Lake City! If you like this type of food don't miss this place!

Damn it! They putted a spell on me! Now all I crave is their sweet creamy french toast. I cannot describe the simple but delicious french toast with words. However, you can just look at the photo I posted on their yelp page and see how yummy it looks. Also my boyfriend ordered the Verona sandwich and he enjoyed it too. I know he likes the place if he will bring his coworkers for lunch. We both had a good time maybe because we had a hip happy jolly server on that day.

Based on the interior decor, "Bohemian" doesn't seem like the best name for this place. Unable to ignore the many animal heads on the walls, "Backwoods" or "Hunter's Delight" may be more accurate. Although, "Brewery" is totally appropriate. We didn't venture too much into the menu and kept it simple with fish n chips and a burger. Our menu selections seemed pretty basic, hard to screw up, but we weren't impressed. My fish was NOT fresh. It tasted a bit too fishy for my tatste, mushy for my comfort, and the pieces were small and meager. My husband's "garlic" burger was lacking...in garlic. He eventually got to a bite with garlic in it, but that was about it for any garlic. So technically, I suppose they fulfilled their end of the deal for a garlic burger, but pretty pathetic garlic burger if you ask me. And I can probably say the same for the fries. Where they lacked in quality, they made up in quantity. I had more fries piled on my plate than I could have possibly finished in one sitting and while the fries had potential as I'm partial to skinny fries and even more-so, garlic skinny fries, both of our servings of fries were cold and stale. They had definitely been sitting out too long before they ever made it to my plate. I may go back again to try other menu options since the place seemed like it SHOULD have been decent, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon.

Not always the best service but the food is always great. Especially the beer. I would definitely recommend the brewery tour on the first Wednesday of the month. Drewskie the bar tender is one of the best bar tenders ever. Make sure to sit at the bar of you want great service! Love him! Drew will not let you down!

Love the roasted garlic bulbs- so creamy and delicious. The tomato basil tapenade they come with are a nice addition. The fish & chips were amazing. The fish was fried perfectly and the batter was seasoned well and so crispy! The garlic fries were also delicious. Portions are generous, can't wait to go back and try their bratwurst.

I took a Chinese couple that were vacationing at the Raintree Relaxation Retreat in Sandy to this restaurant because I heard it was "the best food ever!", and I wanted to introduce them to some of the local "Sweet Spots". The Bohemian Grill totally lived up to its reputation in every way! The restaurant has a very pronounced "Europeanesque" atmosphere - I've been to Bohemia in Europe and you wouldn't be able to differentiate the decor and ambiance. Almost an enchanted experience. I had the Salmon Salad which was fantastic! The serving sizes are large, you definitely get your money's worth. I'm not a drinker, but my friends both had a house crafted beer and were equally satisfied. Everything on the menu is quite original or traditional for Europe - in other words, the same named dish will be an almost entirely different experience for your palate than one you've had before at a less distinctive local restaurant. They really understand the art of spicing the food - very rich and deep, but not excessive. I'll be going there frequently in the future.

I sat at the bar with a buddy to catch up after 10 years. We had some chicken wings, cooked to order (crispy) and they were perfect. The garlic burger/fries was also delish (you have to be ok with a lot of garlic). The beer was amazing and the ambiance can't be beat. The entire staff was professional and courteous. What more can you ask for? We arrived earlier in the evening before the rush, and it packed up quick. I'm not sure if they take reservations, I could see a possible wait if you're there during the dinner rush. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Deep in the depths of Cottonwood Heights, there lies the Bohemian Brewery! Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of their beers but i kept hearing that the food is pretty good. As you first walk in, you get the feeling that you just walked into an expensive cabin deep in the woods... which is awesome. The menu isn't huge, but it has some great stuff. They have burgers, salads and then a few German options. The first time I came, i got the brat sandwich. It's bigger than i imagined it would be, and had great flavor to it. The second time, I got the schnitzel. They have the option for chicken or pork, the waiter said chicken was better so thats what i went with. My friend got the pork and we split them in half which confirmed that its nearly impossible to beat pork. Don't get me wrong, the chicken was good and PERFECTLY fried but it just didn't quite match up to the pork. I substituted the vegetables for the spaetzle which was okay, but relatively boring. It also comes with mashed potatoes which were great. I have a hard time spending $17 on this meal, but it'll be nice to throw into my rotation every couple of weeks/months. Give it a shot if you're down in the area. They also do Paint Nite which is a lot of fun.

Great food! Excellent beer! Fred, our waiter, was so knowledgeable in how the food is prepared, where it came from, what spices are used etc... he was so enthusiastic about the food and his job, it made being there and eating the delicious food, that much more of a great experience! The brats are the best I've ever had. The sauerkraut which they make, is like no sauerkraut I've ever had before, incredible!! I was with five friends and everyone ordered a different meal and everyone was pleased. The Bohemian is #1 on my list of restaurants to visit next time I am in Salt Lake City!

Beer is great food is better. The garlic burger is one of the top three I've had in my life and is the best in Utah.

Wife and I went here for the first time on our weekly apps and drinks night. Decor is great and homey. Love the fireplace and log cabin feel. We were told the appetizers were half price. This is only on certain apps and I even asked my waiter if the apps were half price and he said they were. So only one out of the three apps we ordered were half price. Had I known that, we would have ordered dinner instead. Paid the same price. Please train your waitstaff properly. Crabcakes were meh. However, the tomato basil tapenade that came with it was outstanding. Wings were delicious with their home made bleau cheese sauce. Not very hot, but still good. And their signature garlic fries was well worth the price. I wanted to give 4 stars but the miss communication really made me kinda mad. I think another trip is in order to try some dinners.
(2)Jessica P.
I absolutely love Bohemian! German food and great microbrew beers - who could ask for more? I recommend trying the Pirogies & Bratwurst if you're looking for standard German fair, however the Bohemian Goulash is by far my favorite item on their menu.
(5)Rooster C.
4 stars on the food and 2 stars on the beer. The periogies and brats plate is fantastic and their sauerkraut is wonderful. Went with two friends and all of us couldn't get enough of this place, we even went back two nights later. At which time I had the meatloaf, which was also excellent. Service is good, nice environment, not too loud even though they have multiple tv's around the room. The beer is just okay. I mostly drink craft to microbrew beers, so I was interested in trying this place. All their beers are 4% abv, probably as required by some crazy Utah laws. Somehow, that really effects the flavor of the beer. I tried 3 beers, all were watery and a little flat tasting. I attribute that to the process they use to get all the beer to 4%. I'm used to 9%+ abv beer, so this was a big swing in the wrong direction. If your a beer geek, this is not your place. That said, the food alone is worth the trip and makes Hoppers food look like food court food.
(4)Tristan A.
Went here finally, after wanting to get there for a while.. i had the verona sandwich, which was delicious. my friend had something else which was even better, though both sandwiches were just a bit salty. service was fine, i liked the decor except for the stuffed deerheads, and they kept my water filled. only negative, a bit more pricey than i had in mind for lunch, but its ok for a splurge. i appreciated the nice touches in the parking lot, of all things. they planted grape vines in the chain link and put some nice trees in. Made me want to go in, and impressed me. i know, but i notice stuff like that. Don't know if I will return, a little $$$ for me, but maybe.
(3)Sabrina R.
The brew is good but nothing spectacular, with all the microbreweries in Utah you really need to do something special to stand out. The food is delicous although over salty and over greasy sometimes. The cocktails are tres cher, but what do you expect? At least they are good and not watered down. Try the bohemian lemonade.The beers here always seem so heavy, if I drink one I can't really eat my food. This is a good place for a big group, a birthday or other large party for adults. It is nice and not divey at all. It's also a very safe bet for a first date or any other date really, out of towners you want to impress but not fight downtown parking, etc.
(4)Ann N.
It was group dinner night. The only place large enough to hold a big group was Bohemian Brewery. This place is kind of like BJs, but had a log cabin theme with deer antlers and animal heads on the walls. What I ordered: 01. Midori sour ($5) - 3 stars The drink wasn't strong, but still tasty 02. Halibut Filet - ($22) - 3 stars It was surprisingly tasty. The fish had a cripsy parmesan crust and it was moist inside. I didn't really care for the side of mash potatoes or veggies... nothing memorable.

food was just ok. i didnt actually like my blue cheese steak wrap. beer was good. will go back

I don't know if the owner was there when we went but WOW this is a friendly place. Once we had been seated about 4 people checked in on us to see what we needed. Food was good, I didn't try the beer (went irish whiskey on the cold sunday) but I have heard it is phenomenal. Watched some football ate some comfort food!(the soup of the day was to die for) Definitely will be back.

First time visitor. Very good food with great service. I ate the Chicken Paprikash which was incredible. Price is higher than the average chain by a dew dollars per plate but the food and experience are worth it.

Log cabin style building is certainly appropriate for such a wonderful skiing destination - Salt Lake City. Hops are plentiful around the bar as decoration and the aroma is noticeable. Food is simply marvelous. Excellent variety and quality are hard to find. IMO this is why this place has stayed in business unlike the previous 2 or 3 brewpubs that failed in this same building. 4-6 beers are brewed here, so the selection is average. But unfortunately the good points stop here. As a beer lover, this place disappoints in the area that matters most - the beer. The beers are uninspiring, especially the so-called Weizen. The bar tenders can't seem to consistently tell me what this beer is, a hefeweizen that is lagered? what? why is it so flavorless and watery? Other Utah breweries do just fine with the 3.2% law but this weizen is an exception. The Vienna lager lacks the malt and hoppy character that a vienna lager is supposed to have, and the pilsener is more of an American pils than a Czech pils (light, low flavor profile, etc.). So, for quality, I must give a low score for quality in beer - which is one of the more important criteria for reviewing a brewpub. Other incidentals are worth mentioning. The service is sometimes terrible, simply terrible. Oddly enough, the owner has hamsters and the bar often smells like cedar shavings from the hamster cage. I couldn't tolerate the smell so I said something and the bartender informed me it was the hamster cage. Hmmm. In a restaurant? They may have corrected this error since then, but I cannot go back. They have VERY conservative hours too. Don't be surprised if the door is locked before midnight, even on a Friday or Saturday. Want a beer at 9:45 pm on a Thursday night? Sorry, but they close at 10pm. So, for excellent food in Salt Lake City head over to the Bohemian. Just don't bother with the beer.

We had a living social coupon for a growler and 4 pints glasses that expired on Feb 14 so decided to check out the restaurant for dinner - yes, it was Valentine's Day! It had been a couple years since we had visited. I now know why we have not been back. We were seated upstairs - I normally don't prefer being seated upstairs (you're further away - service is normally not as good) but Porcupine does it well! The upstairs area was very drafty with vents blowing from every position. I had to wear my jacket through the entire dinner. It took a bit longer than it should to even be acknowledged - we ordered a beer and a taster. Long story short....the service was slow (even though she really did try and was very nice). The food was bland at best. We ordered nachos and the poached pear salad. The nachos and salsa had very little flavor and the salad has large (too large) chunks of brie, wilted and rusted romaine, bland blue cheese dressing (how does that happen?). We were trying to get out of there so to expedite things my husband went downstairs to order the growler and pint glasses (our coupon). The "bar tender" looked at the coupon and loudly remarked "OHHHHHHH, that is going to take a long time ---- you'll have to wait quite a while" - I wonder if she would have treated him that way if she knew we had just spent $60 in food upstairs. As a restaurant, if you decide to offer living social or groupon etc. coupons you should honor them with grace. NEVER WILL WE RETURN to this embarrassment of a "brewery"

First time at Bohemian but I think I will be going back. They have a decent beer selection and the different sizes allow you to sample a few before you commit to one or another. The only drawback I saw was they have a chocolate bock. I am a fan of stouts and bocks but when you try to do this stupid chocolate bocks or stouts or raspberry ales you just muck about with the flavor and end up with rubbish. The BLT on rye was tasty. The rye was not overpowering like a marble rye but a very subdued flavor instead which allowed the peppered bacon to take center stage with the aoli playing a strong supporting role. The garlic fries are crispy and good if a little on the mild flavored side. All in all a good place to go for lunch where the service is top notch and the food is filling.

We have been to Bohemian Brewery 2 times now. The first time was delightful, we got to sit outside on their lovely patio on a nice day. I had the garlic burger with a pint of Czech pilsener and it was a tasty and memorable meal. Our most recent trip to Bohemian we tried the potato pancakes for an appetizer. We had never had potato pancakes so I do not have anything to compare them to. They were just okay though, tasted like hashbrowns served with sour cream and apple sauce. I had a pint of Vienesse this time and enjoyed it. My entree was the chicken schnitzel and Trevor ordered the blackberry brandy chicken. . . His entree looked EXACTLY and tasted like mine, only his had some purple sauce on it. I'm not very impressed by two dishes being the exact same thing, but it still tasted pretty good and I did eat it all. I do wish there was more parking available here. Bohemian hasn't blown my skirt up yet but I will return again.

My first visit to Bohemian dates few years back and since then we went with my wife few more times. After relocating from Chicago, we were ready to go and have some great authentic Czech and German food in SLC again. Unfortunately that was not the case.Don't get me wrong, their pizza and sandwiches are great but it suppose to be Czech and German cuisine that everyone on Yelp praises that is falling way short of expectations. Brats are tasteless, chewy and I had better pierogy from freezer section in supermarket, not to mention that the whole combo of these two doesn't match well. Wife had a goulash which, I think is one of the better choices on their menu. but some great staples of Czech cuisine are missing, like very traditional bacon stuffed beef in cream veggie sauce called "Svickova", roasted duck with bread dumplings or roasted pork meat with potato dumplings and greens to name a few. And brats and very plain schnitzel representing Germany? Then there is the beer. I like the lager and Weisse but what the hell is Vienesse? I would love to say that Cherny bock is great too, but by definition of bock beer which is always higher in alcohol %, this just doesn't cut it. It's great money maker for the brewery due their ability to sell all of their beer in cans in any supermarket in Utah though. To gain some perspective to this somewhat negative review, I've spent 25 years living in Central Europe, our family comes from Austria, Czech Republic and Germany, I've ran catering business here and in Europe and know how real European beer taste like. It is like going to Olive Garden for great Italian food ( that is called a sarcasm ).

Ok, so I finally took the opportunity to walk myself, and my lagging ass (they made me leave the donkey out on the hitching post) into this place, as I've known of it's existence for about a year now. I have wanted to make time to try it since then, but due to the fact that I don't exactly live next door, I've had a little bit of a hard time, finding time to make it up to this so called Bohemian Brewery. I mean, you would think it is in Bohemia for some ungodly reason. Who knew! On with the review: So my brother came all the way from Phoenix, AZ, and made arrangements to get together with several friends that he had not seen in quite some time. I was included so I thought that there could not have been a better time to get myself up there and give this place a whirl! I was glad that I did, because once inside, I didn't have a care in the world other than having myself a good time. On with the review: So I get escorted... ok Stop! My wife was with me as well, so I must cut the strings about the escort... WE, kindly followed a nice young Bohemian Hostess, as she took us upstairs to a cozy sort of loft, kind of room, which wasn't really a room, other than it was a dining space, upstairs, which had a nice overlook of the dining area below. I'm guessing this space is normally used for larger groups, and business type meetings, and of course restaurant overflow. It was scantly decorated, and the coolest thing of all, was that there were a bunch of old, old, and older scooters lining the edges of the room. Vespa was the only brand I recognized, but boy were they cool. Some of these were things you may have seen perusing the countryside, of the Czech Republic back in the 60's and 70's. Fantastic! On with the review: First things first! Where's the Beer? I was a bit surprised to find out that they only served 4 different beers. My first thought was OMG, are you kidding me? Then my brother said they also carried a seasonal brew, which made it 5 beers on tap. Boy was I relieved, although it's a long way from having 99 beers on the wall like I had once imagined. Ok, wait, that's from an old childhood song that I often sang as , you guessed it, a child. Manifesting their "Brew Menu", the waiter explained a couple of the beer varieties to me, and the several different sizes of serving glasses in which they were delivered to your table. I elected to go with the "Manly" size! Manly, being because... Well, you know. I'm a man, what else!!! Geez! So I order up my beer, and a couple of minutes later, the waiter is backing up a crane, he had to bring in to deliver my beer. This thing was not manly at all! It was incredibly HUGE! I dropped to my knees, as it was set on the table in front of me, and all I was thinking was that I was receiving beer manna from heaven! Wow, I thought... If the beer inside of this big crevasse, is as good, as it is big, then the whole world can end outside the doors of this place, and I wouldn't care. News Flash!! -- Good news people... The world didn't end, and the better news was that the beer was damn good! So good, I drank two of the mighty "Manly" offerings. These things must have been 36 to 40 ounces each! WOW again! On with the review: So, the Space Shuttle missions are completed. Do you ever think we will go into spac... Oooops, sorry! The "Manly" beers are still effecting my thought processes! On with the review: On to the food. I don't remember anything about the food except it was really, really good. Can I get another "Manly" beer please? On with the review: To try and wrap this beer fest up, the food was really good! I had the Perogies and Brat's. Never had them before, but they were really quite good. Along with that, they served sauerkraut which was very good as well. A little different in taste than the sauerkraut you get in a bottle at your local supermarket, but very tasty, and not over powering in taste like some kraut varieties you may find. Brat's were very good as well however, I thought they could have been a little more flavorful! They were a little mild in taste than what I was expecting, but maybe that is the unique thing about this seemingly authentic like German/Czech style fare. They did leave a good taste in my mouth, unlike some other sausages I have experienced eating over the years. There was no after effect from the brat's either, which definitely was a plus for me. I did not have to make a pit stop at the Tums Factory at midnight, which BTW is directly fed into my medicine cabinet, via an underground air forced tubular supply line. OMG! On with the review: My wife had a similar dish, with Brat's, Mashed Potatoes and Sauerkraut. Her meal was just as satisfying! Say's she! You go girl! My brother and other guests were served up equally satisfying dishes from 1/2 pound burgers to salads. All looked very nice, presentation was impeccable with each, and good times ensued all throughout the evening! Thumbs Up! Way Up!

I loved the place. Honestly, I can't share my experience about food or beer because I was not hungry (as I read portions are too big, I prefered don't eat). I'm a traditional beer girl and I'm not too friendly with new surprising tastes because you never know if you will enjoy the beer or you will be drinking all the glass with that strange sensation of 'I should have the other one'. But I can say that I loved the menu, there were some traditional dishes based on mexican food, and some interesting and quite healthy new suggestions. I liked the music, the waitress, the pictures on the way to the restrooms and the vespa exposition upstairs. I loved it!!! I felt like been in a lodge and that feeling is always comfortable, nobody can say the opposite. It seems it was an animal slaughterhouse tiem ago... who knows... the fact is that I liked the place. It's a lil far, though, but once you are there with the right company, you forget distances. =)

Horrible service, I wish I could give 0 stars. The first time we saw our waitress was ten minutes after we were seated. Took another ten minutes to get two sodas and a beer. My husband ordered a burger and we waited 40 minutes for ketchup (which never arrived). During this time our waitress was attentive to the three tables around us. Finally asked the manager for boxes and the check, she brought us boxes but no apology for the lack of service and we still had to wait for our waitress to bring our check. What a huge waste of time and money. Save the trip and go to a different brewery.

I've been meaning to hit this place up for some time and had the chance last week. It wasn't very busy on a Friday afternoon which was good because we had a group of about 20. The wait staff seemed a bit slow, but that could be because there was only one of her and a lot of us and there were a couple other tables she was taking care of at first too. I really enjoyed the beer (Weiss) that I had for lunch. I liked it so much I had to have another. I just had a club sandwich with the garlic fries. The sandwich was okay. I was surprised to have a club with only ham, but I probably should have read the menu a bit better. The bacon on it was delicious. The garlic fries were tasty, but maybe just a touch less garlic. Overall it was really good and I'll be going back, if only for the beer.
(3)Dustin H.
Great food, awesome beer. The garlic fries rock.
(5)A C.
i've been here many more times since this review. they've udpated their menu (thank you!). they still have the one waitress that is so dang rude..why does she always wait on meee?? gotta ask for someone else next time. i really like this place, though. it's a great one for most any occasion. great beer and something for everyone. you know what would be nice, though? can you NOT charge $3.50 for one lousy pierogie? ok, it's so not lousy...but seriously.. it's just dough and potatoes. DELICIOUS dough and potatoes but hey, i'll eat a box of mrs. T's for less than that and be happy! i would suggest an actual PIEROGIE entree sold at a fair cost..
(3)Jennfier C.
I love the atmosphere at this place - fun, social, perfect for beer drinking. The pilsner is my litmus test and it passed. Very lovely and really great with my Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich Ever (from the $9 lunch menu). This sandwich was delicious on light rye bread, ooozing with cheese (swiss I think), killer heirloom tomatoes and a balsamic drizzle too! It was pretty large though and too much to finish... the garlic "pommes frites" were undeniable.
(4)Diego P.
Wish it was cheaper so that I could afford to go more often. The food is great, and the service is just fine. I usually go during the week for lunch and it is never very crowded.

I can't believe that the average rating for this place is three and a half stars. I'll start out by saying that I don't drink, so I can't address the people who think the beer was bad, but I can sure talk about everything else. Around our table, we had the garlic fries to start, then brats & pirogies, Bohemian goulash, and schnitzel. I've had the same garlic fries before several other places, but that doesn't mean that they were bad at all. Quite to the contrary. They were straight-outta-the-fryer hot when they got to our table, and the aioli was excellent. The brats were a touch overcooked for my taste, but the flavor was just about perfect. The pirogies? Fugeddaboudit. Best I've had in the US. I ordered schnitzel out of nostalgia, and the fact that you really kind of have to try to do schnitzel wrong, and was very happy with the result. It should have been veal, but the pork was good. I had our server sub spaetzle for mashed potatoes; should have stuck with the spuds. The spaetzle weren't bad, but they were out of a box, and I was hoping for more. The Bohemian goulash was out of this world! I wished I had ordered that and an extra fork. The dumplings were perfect and the sweet paprika gravy was just this side of heaven. What I can't say enough about, though, was the service. I don't know if we got lucky, or they're all this good, or it was a particularly good night, or what, but this was some the best restaurant service I've had in years. Nothing was a problem, questions were answered quickly and accurately, we never had to ask for drinks, and we never got the "we work in a trendy, popular joint so we're doing you a favor" vibe that others have described. I went so far as to track down the GM and make sure that the excellent service was recognized. It didn't seem to be a surprise that we were impressed, so I think that's a good sign. Next time we're back in Salt Lake City, we'll be back for sure!
(5)Michael W.
Two words: Schnitzel and Beer. Das is gut! Sehr gut.
(4)Edith B.
We had a big group so I can forgive the slow service. The restaurant itself is interesting aesthetically, but...rather boring food. Veggies were overcooked, and my breast of chicken was a bit fatty (ew). Beer was biggest disappointment--rather watered down.
(2)Henry P.
Was in town for business, read the good reviews and decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. I had the glazed salmon with rice. It was hot and delicious. Service as fast and friendly.

Found this place on line and decided to give it a try, they brewed their own German style lagers and offered pretty authentic German food. About 6 miles outside dwntwn SLC so it's more in a suburban setting than an urban one. The interior had a log cabin feel with fireplace, hard floors and log panelling on the walls. Never been to Germany, but hey i bought it. Skied extra hard today, so i wanted something no frills and to the point satisfy my hunger type of place, and my past experiences with German food, seemed right on line. Skip the appetizers, and started with a litre of vienna style lager, bout a quart or so, then ordered my plate. Bohemian goulash (tender beef braised in a paprika sauce) was exactly what i was waiting for. Large chunks of beef, braised til fork tender, in a rich, slightly spicy sauce was hearty and d-lish! i subbed the bread dumplings for spaetzle (a german pasta-like dumpling) and that was good, as it was kind of pan fried with butter. My only "beef " with my meal is that that's all there was. Being a little more healthful these days, i wish that there were some type of vegetable to accompany the rich dish, whether steamed, roasted or even braised with the dish. It just seems to balance it a lot more, but from previous German food experiences in the past, i was not the least bit surprised. Service a bit spotty but well intentioned, and they have a nice selection of souvenir clothing to take home with your very full belly.

This is a special travel edition from my personal archives food blog... The Bohemian Brewery & grill is my new favorite place, period. Set about half way between the Davenport estate and downtown, this little slice of European heaven sits with both indoor and outdoor seating amidst a Bavarian style lodge. Upon entering, I could not help but spy on the tables of all the happy patrons, and instantly I could understand the reasons behind all the smiles. The dining room was large, flanked by a huge fireplace to help set the ambiance a little bit. The menu was a cross section of eastern Europe and I had my passport in hand, ready to explore the world. We started with the home made Pierogies,and roasted garlic with toast (I am not sure how European the garlic was, but it was delicious) For dinner I had the Hungarian Beef Goulash with Czechoslovakian bread dumplings and red cabbage. Now please indulge me as I take a minute to reflect on this amazing but simple dish. Large chunks of beef slow simmered in a deep, rich gravy-like sauce that just yearned for the dumplings to be dipped in. You could have left out all the meat as far as I was concerned, the sauce was that amazing. The dumplings were very soft a pillowy, kind of like an under-cooked loaf of french bread. The red cabbage was nice with some shots of caraway for flavor. All in all an amazing dish, so much so that I payed little attention to what the Davenports had going on, even though their entrees were just as amazing. A.J went with the Chicken Paprikash. and Carol, a nice Salmon dish which I did not get a picture of regrettably. Lucky for me, I had just enough room for a little taste of what is one of the best bread puddings I have ever tasted

As anyone, I am a sucker for a good sausage. Unfortunately, there are precious few (if only maybe 2 or 3) restaurants in Utah that serve German food. Seigfrieds is great, but it is in the heart of down town and thus a little more effort to get to. It is effort worth putting forth, but effort nonetheless. Fret not though! For you also have an option in the Bohemian Brewery. One of the obvious advantages they have over Seigs is their vast assortment of beers and brews. If you like sausages, and you like to drink a beer the size of small swimming pool, then this is the place for you. However, I wouldn't limit myself to just sausage, for they have many other tasty menu items to sample. Garlic Fries - Yes Meatloaf - Yes Roasted Garlic Cloves - YES Pork Shank - Yes There is a lot to say yes to here. They also offer indoor and outdoor seating, the only thing they are missing is the view. I wish I could take these guys and drop them squarely upon a mountain top....and maybe you would have to take a Gondola to get to it...and maybe there is one of those super jowly dogs with the barrel around its neck that greats you at the door....Yeah...Yeah...

It's rare to find a place that has good german food,.. It's rare for a Proud Texan to find a restaurant in Utah that he thinks would shine in Texas,.. It's extremely rare for me to go eat at the same restaurant multiple times in the same week,... The Bohemian rocks! I love the schnitzel,.. Pork schnitzel but I sub the mashed potatoes for the spaetzle. They have the best spaetzle I've ever had and the gravy they serve with the schnitzel is so good I have to request extra every time. I look forward to coming next week in hopes of trying their rouladen which is one of my favorite things which is also sad because it's hard to find a restaurant willing to put it on the menu. Anyway,.. Great place! Good food! I'm glad I finally tried it!

This place has been on my top list for some time now for lunch and dinner but this past Sunday I tried their brunch. They have brunch every Sunday and Monday until 3. The regular menu is also offered with the beer, wine, and brunch menus. I ordered the eggs florentine. This was quite tasty with fresh spinach perfectly poached eggs covered in a really good hollandaise sauce. It was served with country potatoes and fruit. Now I don't like melon of any kind but they looked fresh and yummy. I would totally order this again. My husband got the special that day which was a breakfast burger. I took and tasted fantastic with a fried egg on top. We also really wanted to try the french toast so we ordered a side of that. it came out crispy as the description promised and in the middle was a subtle blend of cream cheese and black berries. I also had a mimosa and boy did this make for the perfect brunch!
(5)Joshua S.
Ordered the pierogis and bratwurst, with a side of red cabbage (rot kraut) again. For some reason, my favorite part of the meal, this time, was the bratwurst and sauerkraut. The sauerkraut had this subtle sweetness that I really enjoyed. The rot kraut wasn't all that tasty this time. A bit on the dry side, and too firm in texture for me. The pierogis were tasty with the dill sour cream and bacon bits on top. Only thing that would take these pierogis to the next level be onions sautéed in a vat of butter (Refer to my review of Sokolowski's University Inn). This was a take away order, so I was very grateful to the hostess for including Bohemian's signature bread and tapenade, which I loved. Great service, good food.
(4)Angie L.
i love this place and find that it's always a pleasant experience when dining here. for my most recent visit here we were celebrating my dad's birthday. our server was kayla and she was the sweetest ever. seriously an exceptional server and i hope she's there again next time i go. my dad had a difficult time deciding which beer he wanted and she was so patient. she gave some recommendations and he ended up ordering some samples before deciding. she made sure our water glasses were always filled and as soon as one drink was finished would come back to see if there was anything else we wanted. she was also on top of things with food allergies and definitely cares about her customers. they do have a dedicated gluten free menu with quite a few choices. my mom got the salmon salad, i got the garlic burger gluten free, and my dad and thomas n. got the regular garlic burger. i didn't try my mom's food, but she really enjoyed her salad. my garlic burger was served on lettuce and cut into quarters with toothpicks to hold it together. i really liked that since it was easier to eat. it was so yummy - full of garlic flavor! plenty of cheese and perfectly cooked. the only thing i would change is that since i can't have garlic fries, they should offer an additional side instead of nothing (regular burgers come with garlic fries). maybe like a small side salad or something? everyone else really loved their food and we were all pretty happy with our choices. we ended up sitting at the bar afterwards since my dad wanted to watch the soccer game. we ordered a few more drinks and the bartender here was excellent also. overall an excellent place to have dinner and if you go ask for kayla!

Everything here is good! Great sandwiches, great beers and great service. I've been many times and will be back many more

Some hits and some misses. The staff were nice and helpful. The bread is soft and delicious! I ordered a Banana Split smoothie. I can taste the strawberries, pineapple, and vanilla ice cream, but i don't taste banana. My friend ordered a Orange Creamsicle smoothie but said it didn't taste like an orange creamsicle. For food, the menu looked amazing with great prices! I appreciate the authentic Bohemian menu items and beers. I ordered a 12oz can of the Alt. It tastes pretty smooth! I would like to try at least half of the menu! My first time here, I ordered a House Salad and Soup Of The Day (he said chicken dumpling but it was more like tortilla wedding soup or something). The soup was very spicy, on par with chili. The salad was very delicious! My friend ordered Crab Cakes and they looked delicious! He said they tasted great! The menu is definitely enticing. My friends ordered the brats, and they give two thumbs up! As for the rest of the menu, I will have to see if they are as tasty as they appear to be next time I'm here!

Really good food, friendly service, unique setting. I've driven past this place a number of times in the past, but I never thought much of it. I figured it was just your standard pub fare, and I hadn't ever heard much to commend the place. But I finally went here with my sister and brother-in-law on their recommendation, and I'm a little disappointed I didn't make it here before! First, walking in, it's clear that his is a different kind of place. There's definitely an old world feel to the place. We sat near the front fireplace, so I didn't get much of a chance to check out the whole place, but it is definitely an interesting and unique setting. Food: There are a ton of things on the menu I still want to try, but I made a nice dent on my first visit. Schweinshaxen - I went for the most unpronouncable dish on the menu, and it turned out to be great! This is a huge pork shank with the bone-in and is accompanied by cooked red cabbage and spatzle (or mashed potatoes). Side note: Spatzle is one of the more fun words to say that I've run across. The pork shank was great! It was nice and tender and came right off the bone. The sauce on it is tasty and is poured on in just the right amount--the plate isn't drowning in it, but there is enough to get on nearly every bite of pork. The red cabbage was delicious as well. It doesn't have quite as strong a flavor as sauerkraut, but some of the same flavor profile. The spatzle seemed like it should have been a little less mushy, but it was still good. Beef Stroganoff - I tried a bite of this, and it was very good. The beef and mushrooms are cooked perfectly, and the sauce added great flavor. Fish and Chips - I tried a bite of this as well, and it was nice and tender on the inside of a crunch outside. Pretty well executed fish and chips. I'll have to make my way back here at least a few times to try out all of the other things that caught my eye on the menu. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our server knew the details of all of the dishes without hesitation, and she provided a good recommendation as to which dish I should eat of the 3 I had narrowed my choices down to. When I asked about the Roasted Garlic Bulbs--which I want to try at some point--she said they were great, but that it's something you have to plan your evening around. Good humor, to boot. I did not order any beer during this meal, but it looked like they had a great selection of beers that are not your run-of-the-mill types. My sister and brother-in-law both enjoyed their beverages. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Charlotte S.
Lovely. Love the interior, very European lodge. Moderate, but tasty beer selection. I tried the Noble Hefeweizen. Our bartender recommended we try the Brewmasters Basket as an appetizer. Crispy calamari, fries, toast, and garlic. The portions were generous and tasty. Our Bartender was great, very nice. The only thing I can criticize was the hostess (she was rude), but her attitude wasn't enough to change my overall perception of this brewery. We will come back, and bring our friends, too.
(5)Jenny V.
great beer, amazing food and a great atmosphere! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, i got the garlic burger with garlic fries (can you tell i like garlic?) the rest of my table got the pierogi and sausage, i stole a few bites and they were both very tasty. I can't wait to come here again, a DEFINITE must try when you're in SLC

There's this homey place called the Bohemian Brewery & Grill right off of state street that I am currently in a love and hate relationship with. Love: the food and the service. Everything that makes eating out fun and enjoyable. Hate: the food is not what most would consider ideal and clean when trying to lose weight. Regardless I am so smitten by the service the owner provides to the customers. I literally watched him go above and beyond for EVERY patron that walked in during my meal. The employees genuinely seem happy which gives off a positive energy. Our waitress Dani was super sweet, conversational, and so attentive. The food is AMAZING. I haven't had brunch this flavorful and beautifully made in a long time. The moment I took a bite... I knew I was in trouble because I knew my best friend and I had found a new place to obsessed over. We ordered the Bohemian Eggs Florentine - (2) poached eggs on dumplings with sautéed spinach, tomato, ham, and Hollandaise sauce. Served with breakfast potatoes and fruit. And the Crispy French Toast filled with blackberry cream cheese stuffing. BOTH WERE HEAVENLY! 5 stars all the way. I was so hesitant to share a review and whatnot because for selfish reason I don't want this place to get packed BUT more business for them means they'll never leave me ;) hahaha GO TRY IT! Support your local restaurants peeps.

The chicken pesto pizza is fantastic! The bread pudding wasnt that great though- tasted like it had been zapped too long in a microwave. That pizza though.. way awesome! And they have 50 cent beer samples that the hubby loves.

I had the pub combo. Spend the dollar extra and get the The French onion soup, it is to die for!!! I haven't been disappointed with May of their beers...enjoy

I had high hopes for this place. I searched for nearby "gastropub" and this place was at the top of the list. I was immediately drawn towards the calamari and the beet salad on the menu. (I love beets!) The calamari portion was generous and pretty tasty despite being a bit over salted. The beet salad however was a near total failure. The beets were over cooked and very heavily flavored with star anise and cinnamon. So much so that they had no flavor of beet. I found myself digging for the walnuts just to have some texture. The manager was nice enough to knock the salad down to half price but didn't feel compelled to talk to me about my experience. The ambience is a cross between mountain lodge and traditional beer garden though at only a third full the place is quite loud. This can be attributed to the bare concrete floors, wood log walls and ceilings. Not a soft surface insight to absorb sound. The service at the bar was adequate during my dining experience.

First off, this place serves food until 11pm on the weekdays - which is kind of a BIG DEAL in Utah, where everything closes at 9pm. If you're interested in a non-fast food late night dining option, this place is a huge win. I'm eastern european, so I grew up eating a very similar style of food. My boyfriend is of german descent and was literally giddy about the menu. We shared two entrees - The Chicken Paprikash - Chicken breast with creamy hungarian paprika sauce served with a side of steamed veggies and spätzle. Roast beef on the bone, served with red cabbage and spätzle. Not sure what this menu item is called. The chicken was OK - maybe 4 stars from me. It was cooked perfectly, and moist on the inside. The sauce drizzled on the chicken was the star of the show, and I would have appreciated a bigger helping of it. The veggies were ok - not mushy at all but pretty plain. The spätzle is a pretty close, but not perfect. The variety they use is a little too dense, and was a bit over-fried. The ideal end result should be light and airy. The beef dish on the other hand was the star of the show. Deliciously seasoned, perfectly cooked fall off the bone meat. The red cabbage was great also - my boyfriend was very impressed with the recipe. Overall a 4.5 star experience, but I'm bumping it up to 5 due to the great service and uniqueness of the menu. We'll be back!

Second time here and definitely will come back. Food was authentic and local Beer was good.

Had the specials, a pork florentine which was tasty but I wouldn't have it again. The roasted garlic bulbs with toast are a must-try and I've tried this dish in various locations but this was the best ever. Since they're a micro brewery, they also have a good range of their own beers including lagers, pilsner to the darker hoppy ones which you could order samplers. The seasonal beers are also worth sampling. I preferred the pilsner because it was nice and light yet flavorful. The service was quick and prompt and alfresco seating on a cool night adds to the ambience. Great for group parties yet also great for business meetings like the one I had.

Texan vacationing in Utah here. As you may have seen in some of my other posts, my husband and I love visiting local breweries and brewpubs when we travel. After a terrible visit to Hoppers about 2 weeks ago, I was skeptical about trying anything else in Utah in the brewpub genre. You know, you guys have to deal with that whole 4% draft alcohol thing which kinda sucks when it comes to flavor. And the service in SLC sucks on par with the kind you get in the likes of Seattle and other places where the waitstaff makes a bit more hourly and doesn't need to rely on tips to make up most of their income. This place is different though. The restaurant is well-lit and smartly decorated. The outdoor patio is where we sat and there were actual hop vines snaking up the divider behind our table. The host who sat us was very friendly and our waiter showed up very soon afterwards. He was pretty awesome and attentive - in fact, the only time we were kind of like, Where the hell is our waiter? was towards the end, but in his defense, we'd sent him away before he could issue the check as we weren't sure if we were going to get dessert. We started with the calamari, which was fried in a light batter and coated with what tasted like a creamy chipotle sauce. There were also some fried bell peppers sprinkled in - delicious. There were 4 in our party and I think we sampled the menu pretty well. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was marinated well and very tender. It came with both fresh and sun-dried tomatoes - weird but good - and hazelnuts! My 2 friends got the garlic burger and the fish and chips. My husband got the brats and perogies (sp?) Everything except the brat plate came with these delicious garlic fries - no ketchup needed! Reports on the coleslaw that came with the fish and chips were positive overall. The beer was actually decent. They currently have 2 seasonal beers. You can try small pours (2-3 oz) for 50 cents each - it's a steal! I recommend the current seasonal Lundt beer (I think that's what it was called). The weakest I think was the Hefe but the other ones were quite solid considering the 4% governor. I would come back again and again to try all the offerings. This place is delicious and worth a trip.

Being my first visit I had it in the back of my mind that this place would loud and crowded. Being that I have run into in other places that of the same vein. I have to say I like this place. Not overly crowded or so loud that you have to yell to be heard across the table. Janelle was a delight as a server. Quick with the refills, always coming by to make sure that we happy with our meals. The smile and friendliness are natural and honest. I have to say I dislike the food. Garlic Fries are crispy good, nor overly done with garlic. Speaking of which, loved the Roasted Garlic Bulbs. The Pork Schnitzel was good. Something I look forward to having again.
(4)Michael T.
Amazing food and the service, I had the steak salad and it was superb, with the flavor on the salad being light, and the steak was to perfection and tender. Highly recommend the steak salad.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Just like the song, this place delivers on all fronts. I didn't even know this place existed until my friends said we're going there for dinner. Parking was a bit tough to find as it was packed, but don't let that deter you. The restaurant is decently sized and they even have quite a bit of patio seating which is going to be perfect once the weather warms up a bit. So my group and I walked up to the bar while we waited for a table and it was a full service bar with plenty of good beer to go around. My suggestion is to try whatever they have in their seasonal selection. it's usually 3-4 different beers so don't be afraid to give all of them a go. The food....just amazing. The smell just overtakes you even before you walk into the restaurant. It was sooooo good. If you want a solid selection, order the pirogies & bratwurst. So much food in one dish. The pirogies were covered with grilled onions and bacon, hmmmm.....bacon, and the bratwurst had a hefty side of sauerkraut which was just delicious. Two bratwurst & 3 pirogies in all. Don't finish it all if you want to have room for dessert. Get the strudel if you do. Light, flaky with ice cream and whip cream on the side...Can't go wrong. The rest of my party ordered fish and chips, the veggie burger and the portobello mushroom dish. All said they were fine choices, but then again they all craved the pirogies and bratwurst that I was eating.

Bohemian used to be mid-valley option that had decent food with good beer and wine options. However the past two experiences with the service and the food were so awful that it's forever "on the list" of places we'll avoid. As someone who has spent years in the service industry I know that things happen with the kitchen and it's hard to recover. But I also know that there are little things a server can do to make the experience better. Our server dropped the ball entirely. My salad came out before our appetizers and the burger. When we finally got the burger it was raw, literally raw not medium well as ordered. The manager offered to remake the burger but after waiting an hour for our food we just wanted to leave. Then we had to wait another 30 minutes to get the check and cash out. Instead of the server acknowledging the problems, she made excuses for why it took so long to get our credit card. We left two hours later angry, hungry and resolved that we will never go back.
(1)Peggy C.
Had a great dinner with friends. Their pork shank was flavorful, plenty of meat too. The whole menu is German food so I knew what to expect. They even make their own Pirogies; very flavorful too. Dessert was apple strudel. Genuine strudel too! We will be going back.
(4)Thomas N.
Came here for some beer. Great beer! Service is friendly and genuine. I like the open and rustic feel of the place. However, the bathroom is nasty. Kind of grosses me out from ordering food here. But, great place to chill and have a couple beers.

We had an incredibly disappointing experience here today. My brother and his girlfriend went to fill up two growlers. As today is her 21st birthday, she was excited to go and order her first "legal" drink. When they arrived she was turned down by a guy NOT WEARING A NAME TAG. He also made fun of her to the other patrons sitting at the bar stating, "I don't serve minors...", ON HER BIRTHDAY! This bartender claimed that she had to wait a full 24 hours before he could legally serve her. As if ANYONE is expected to wait 24 hours to celebrate their 21st birthday. As a bar / restaurant employee he should know, that any bar in Utah can serve a new 21 year old as soon as midnight on the day of their birthday. 100% legal. He also has no idea how to properly fill a growler, as he filled the two we bought only two thirds of the way full, and did not seal them up quickly after, so they are flat and undrinkable. This guy (who was at least acting like a manager - Yelling at the staff in front of their tables) should know the real laws of his trade, and work on his pouring skill, and customer service. Any GOOD bartender knows that a newly 21 year old is a great way to boost business because they are learning where they feel welcomed to drink. He has failed his business with his cold welcome to her, especially considering it IS actually against the law to work without a name tag on. He gave her a few stickers as a consolation prize, like the bank teller handing a child a lollipop. We usually love going here, so it is hard to give such a low rating, but this one person has ruined one of our favorite places for us.
(1)Molly H.
I've been eating here for years and service and food are always hit or miss. When it's good, I love it but about every 4th time I'm here it's so bad that I swear I won't go back. I waited over an hour for a salad that came out wilted and pathetically layered a few beats and a sprinkle of goat cheese. The onions were supposed to be caramelized but we're not even browned. The lettuce was soggy from too much dressing. In the hour wait for this "salad" my drink was never refilled. The waitress said sorry about the wait and that a manager would come out and talk to us. He gave our table of 4 one dessert to share for free. I still paid $14 for a shitty salad. I told him the salad was bad and his response was that other patrons liked it. Then the checks got all mixed up. I was charged for stuff I didn't order then had to wait about 30 minutes for them to fix it. The whole experience took 3 hours and I left starving and completely dissatisfied with food and service. It will be a long time before I consider going back.
(2)R C.
I have been going here for a few years and every time I go back the food and service gets worse. I went for their brunch just to mix things up a little and I was so disappointed. The service was subpar, I wasn't even able to eat my food it was so bland the server herself said that the pork and chicken schnitzel tasted the same and the fruit on the side was warm and looked slimey I'm officially over this place, it's so close to home but I will gladly drive farther to avoid it
(1)Leanne A.
We came here for lunch and wanted to watch the world cup. I thought it was going to be more of a bar than a restaurant, but the staff was really helpful and went out of the way to make sure we could see and hear the game. I was really impressed with the quality of service and had a great meal because of it. The server was really new so she didn't have a ton of suggestions, but she was really sweet. The food was good, but nothing that was super amazing. I had the blackberry chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. My husband had the Pierogies and Bratwurst. I think that pretty much everything could have used some salt and some other seasonings. The mashed potatoes were really dry and bland. The chicken was just a plain breaded chicken with a blackberry sauce, nothing out of this world. The pierogies were probably our favorite things, they were soft, pillowy and tasty. I hear the garlic fries are delicious so I want to go back and try those soon.
(4)Kirsten A.
Not too shabby for a local brewery. It was crazy busy and we expected a long wait, but only had to wait for about 10 minutes before we were seated. The waitress was super friendly and funny - it created a great atmosphere. I had the Beef Stroganoff and WOAH. I'm drooling just thinking about it. (Homer thinking about donuts drooling. It's really attractive). They used little bites of a NY Steak as the beef. I'm definitely a fan of this place!
(4)Allie J.
One of my favorite places to eat. Every time i come here the service is always great. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. I've never had a bad meal. The beer is amazing.
(5)Quintin J.
Really good schnitzel and awesome spatzle. Beer is solid too. Fun atmosphere and they have outside covered seating. I live in Ohio and seek this place out when I get to Salt Lake City. Good size menu with authentic German and other European food. Menu has good beer pairing options to help you explore beer and food to enhance your dining experience.
(5)Eric M.
German or Polish? I'm not sure which based on some of the brews and menu selections but it really doesn't matter. This place that looks and feels like a Bavarian cabin features great beers and delicious food. I left full and happy.
(5)Mike S.
Great place to get craft-brewed German lagers. While I'm always one to appreciate a nice hoppy brew, it's nice to have a place like Bohemia that offers a great selection of malty, quaffable lagers. I sampled the Bavarian Weiss, Gratzer (an unusual and uncommon smoky all-wheat beer), Schwarzbier and Viennese lager. All were excellent, the Schwarzbier outstanding. My wife had the Hefeweizen, which was also very good. This is a very cool, very German restaurant. The bar is warm and comfortable. We didn't eat but the food looked great. The place was packed. We'll definitely go back next time we're in SLC.
(4)Maxfield W.
Steak salad and the bread with olive garlic butter are my favorite. Brunch here is delicious too. Expect to wait a long time on weekend nights
(4)Sam S.
Bohemian Brewery feels like an old world European pub and serves up a variety of food and drinks at their Midvale restaurant. I've eaten here for lunch and dinner a few times and rather enjoyed the food. Staff is always friendly and the service is prompt. I would recommend it.
(4)Tina S.
Love this place, try the roasted garlic! It is the bomb!! The drunken chicken had no flavor to the sauce, but it could have been a fluke. The garlic fries, nom. The garlic burger, Nom and the little shooters to try a new beer is pretty kick ass!
(4)Alex J.
I REALLY wanted to give this place five stars. I've been coming here for a few years and I really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is almost always really good and well prepared. But the service... The service could be better. Normally we try to sit at the bar. There are two bartenders in particular who are absolutely amazing. Those being Drew and Melissa (hopefully I'm getting the spellings correct). Both of them have given consistently good service, and so we try to get them when we go. The last few times we have sat in the dining room, bringing guests from out of town, the service has been absolutely horrible. This is not just from new people. There is a gal who does not seem native to the U.S. who has been here for several years and she has consistently given horrible service. (I have no problems with people not from the U.S., I only give this detail as a way of identifying her for the restaurant without giving her name or other details). There have been other sub-par servers who are much newer, but I have the hope that perhaps they will be able to improve as they're there--since I doubt the restaurant will let them go. But besides service, the food is almost consistently good. Not being one to enjoy beer, I personally cannot say either way on their beer, but every beer-loving dining companion I've brought there have had good things to say about the beer, so it seems that it's definitely worth coming for (which I would hope, since they're a brewery). They do have a nice wine list and some very delicious mixed drinks--though it is Utah so none of them are very strong. The atmosphere is cozy and visually interesting. The dining room, bar, and restrooms are clean and well maintained. They have a nice outdoor area to dine in the warmer weather as well. Again, I really think this could have been a five star review, but the service given from 70% of the employees really need to improve. Good service should come from all the staff, not just a small few.
(4)Dave H.
Excellent food! The Ruben sandwich is awesome. The kraut is the best ever! I had a brat on the side and it stole the show! The service was excellent. I was seated by the manager and he explained the lunch specials. He was fun to talk to. Our waiter was great. The $4 price tag on the brat was a bit pricey, all in all this was a very good lunch.
(4)Kate C.
I love this place the environment is great and the food is outstanding! It's some of the best food in the valley!! The service has always been good.
(5)Zrinko V.
If you don't like good beer or dead animals on display (Wow! I didn't know the Jackalope was fer real!) ya might not like this place. Me? I'm going to dive into the Perogies and Brats to go with my dark beer. Good stuff!
(4)Benjamin J.
The Bohemian is within walking distance of our house so we come here quite a bit. We also have a collection of the growler mugs crowding our cupboard. We love this place. The latest visit was no different in terms of quality. We ordered the pork schnitzel, the beef goulash, and the beef stroganoff. Food was seasoned nicely and arrived timely. Portions are excellent. Beer is always a highlight here. I tried a few of the seasonal selections, but stuck with a combination of the Cherny Bock and the Viennese Lager for tonight. Only one beer is not good - the Hefeweizen - with the taste (I kid you not) of bubble gum and bananas. Service is the only thing that isn't consistent. Some (most) visits it is great, with an interactive attentive server and some visits are the exact polar opposite. Tonight's visit was somewhere in the middle. Our server was efficient but busy and quick and our table was set along a main thoroughfare of servers and bathroom seekers which resulted in consistent bumpings. Small issues with personnel aside, this place still merits a 5 star rating. Lastly, if you don't mind sitting at the bar, you can skip the line and enjoy consistently greater service. +2 for a unique menu +2 for giant beers -1 for bubble gum beer +1 for waitstaff that will accommodate you if you don't like the bubble gum beer +1 for a great decor +1 bonus if you can say Schweinsaxe after a few Cherny Bocks
(5)Emily J.
This was hands down the best meatloaf I have ever had. The service was good. There were so many choices I could not decide. So I settled on the meatloaf and I'm glad I did. My husband had the pierogies and brats and I kept sneaking taste of his plate. my favorite part was the hot buttered rum and the crab cakes for the appetizer they were really really good. next time we come back we'll do the brunch thing or will have the stroganoff because that looks really good too. If you're looking for comfort food and a good beer this is where you go.
(4)Armando C.
This is as authentic as it gets outside of Bavaria. The schweinhaxe with red cabbage and mashed was as good as it was in Garmisch. Their beers are delectable and pair well with the dinners. There is a good selection of Weisbiers for whatever dish you get. The Spaetzl was a little dry but that was insignificant compared to the rest of the meal.
(5)Monica Y.
I love that this place is so close to my place. Brought a friend here and had a fantastic dinner. Our server was so attentive and nice! Five stars just for that. I had the garlic burger, which was amazing, and my friend had the brats and pierogies which I've also had before. It was perfect with our hefes. This is a cool place to eat, like a cabin inside.
(5)Wayne G.
Was in mid ale on a ski trip with friends, we were looking for a place close by the hotel we were staying at. Place had great atmosphere, servers were attentive and friendly. Food was good quality and value for money. Ended up coming here two nights. Both nights had the New York sirloin done to perfection, also had the Viennese lager, yum. Great pub atmosphere for casual dining experience
(4)Dustin D.
Got the new York steak. It was cooked perfectly and was amazing. Great staff. Very knowledgeable. Get there early because parking quickly disappears since they have an open bar.

Stepping into the Bohemian Brewery is like stepping into an old pub, with it's log interior, stone fireplace and rustic animal heads mounted on the walls. The contemporary artwork and the cool staff round out the old-world effect and create a hip eastern-European vibe. The Bohemian brews lagers and only lagers, the traditional way, adhering to German purity standards. Their four staples are Czech Pilsner, Viennese Lager, Cherny Bock and Bavarian Weiss, along with a small assortment of other seasonal brews which are always really good. You can get them on tap in a myriad of sizes, from pint to growler. Pro Tip: you can order "tastes" of each beer for .50 a pop. It's a great way to have a flight of beers. As for the menu, you can get all types of gastro-pub fare, but these folks are Czech. Order Bohemian food. They do a mighty fine job of it, I promise you no regrets or longing stares at your buddy's plate. I wish I got a picture of their schnitzel. It really is a thing of beauty. As it goes, I ate it so fast, that all I had to photograph was my beer, which I was savoring a bit more slowly. Delicious beer, cozy environment, fantastic brats, pierogies, and red cabbage. We've even taken "real" Germans here and they loved it.
(4)Mary M.
This review needs to be broken down. Parts of our experience was awesome and some not so good. . Service: They seated us and served us fast. However, then no one checked on us to see if we needed anything. After we were served our server never came back until we were done. Both of us would have liked to have another drink while we were still eating. And when he came for the check he didn't even ask if there was anything else we wanted. Food: My husband gives it a 5 star. I give it a 3 star. I chose my entree based on the Spaetzle but it was dry and very bland basically had no taste. The pork shank and cabbage was awesome. We will go back, it wasn't that bad.

I estimate that the total caloric intake of the meal that I just consumed was 1276. First, the perfectly browned toast with a slab of real butter and grape jelly 275 calories. Then the perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs with a dash of Tabasco 140 calories. Ahhh, the main entree has arrived. Blueberry creme cheese filled French Toast fried to perfection drowned in authentic maple syrup 861 calories. Our server was awesome and kept all of our drinks full and really cared about us. I love this place! I'm off to the gym to burn this off so I can return tomorrow!
(5)Rena A.
The food is was pretty good. The garlic burger really lives up to it's name. I was happy to know that they grind their own beef here. I think that is pretty cool as it's not something you see often. Glad to find a place where I can get a medium rare burger, however; It wasn't cooked medium rare like I asked it to be. :( I do have one bt of advice for the dark haired waitress with the red lipstick. I get it, I used to do waitressing and I know how stressful it can be to deal with staff who don't quite pull their weight. However just because you complain about them where they can't hear it doesn't mean others can't hear it. Don't want to hear complaints about bad staff while I'm eating. I will be back though for sure
(3)Dani B.
My daughter and son in law took us here for the first time tonight. I have to say the food was excellent! Our server Robert was great! He was funny and very attentive.
(5)Jason K.
Very upset! This is (was) one of our favorite places. Last night our service was terrible and contributed to 1) My daughters order being wrong; 2) Our drinks never refilled; 3) Cold food. We really couldn't understand our waitress- her accent wasn't the issue, she was literally inaudible and had the temerity in the end to give us our check and stand there waiting for me to scramble and pull out my credit card. The food wasn't up to standards either- my bratwurst was accompanied by a small ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. We expected much better because we have received much better multiple times. Very depressing to lose a consistent part of our restaurant rotation- We won't be back.
(1)Nicole F.
Their food is ggood, and the drinks are fantastic. I love the "frog water" and their chef salad is gigantic. I had their meatloaf which was a different taste than what I'm used to with meatloaf but for some reason I couldn't stop eating it.
(4)Joshua B.
I took my wife and daughter and we all enjoyed the meal. Fantastic service and very quick. Great atmosphere and kid friendly. Host went out of his way to talk to our 5 year old. Will be coming back for sure. The stroganoff was fantastic and my wife's french onion soup was perfect.
(5)Sean D.
I have eaten here plenty of times. I'm in the area having my truck worked on so I took my bike with me and rode over to eat and have a drink. The server was fine with letting me in with my bike. It's a new bike and in the 800 range, I only say this to make it clear why I wasn't ok with leaving it outside. They had a corner table right out of the way and a corner I could set my bike. The old lady who came up said I could leave it on the patio and it would be fine. I looked at her and said "the open patio". As if a criminal won't walk up on a patio that has no customers on it and steal a bike. The patio was closed down, so it was as safe as just leaving it on the sidewalk. I said I'm sorry I didn't realize it was such a big deal and that I will take my business elsewhere. I will not be eating there today or ever again. I wasn't asking to brin
(1)Joel C.
First time hear, but I am also from out of state were real alcohol rules apply... LMAO They have some really good beer, first off. The barmaid was very nice and helpful, had a big hot pretzel, it was good wish they had the Bar cheese that should go with a GERMAN bar or Pretzel... This is in incomplete review, hadn't sampled the menu.... This was dinner service, but I don't think there was anything on the menu below $10, even appetizers, and the appetizer list was meh.... Not trying to knock them, but think they can do better... I will try there food and give a updated review.....
(3)Danny W.
There is no place like it in utah. The food is great and if you go here you know that there beer is killer! I just wished they were more downtown then out in the suburbs.
(4)John S.
Landed here after a show set up day - close to the hotel and recommended by the front desk. The beer was cold and tasty, the schnitzel was a 3, maybe - I have had sooooo much better. Our server had twice the tables she should have, so the service was not good. Rustic, pretty noisy place - you can you better in Salt Lake.
(2)Hope J.
Fries are delicious, the bread and seasoned butter were also really good. Fun atmosphere, cool lodge feeling.
(4)Scott R.
I have been here many times but never wrote a review yet apparently. I have always had great experiences when coming here. Great food and of course great beer. The service is quick and super friendly. We came in on a Friday night at 7 expecting a long wait. But only waited about 15 minutes for a table of 4. I would suggest you get anything from the German side of the menu. I had the bratwurst on this trip. Oh so good with the incredible sauerkraut they make. I can't wait for my next trip back.
(4)Heimlich M.
One of my favorite restaurants. Love the food here. Great unique flavors. Neat and unique items on the menu. Not necessarily a huge focus on being healthy or low-fat... :), but awesome flavors. Wish I were in the area more often. Great fun atmosphere as well. Good staff. They need a larger parking lot though.
(5)Ashley M.
Delicious! The food was cooked PERFECTLY. The menu was wonderful and the drinks were HUGE and amazing! (I had a long island iced tea) the service was good, and the atmosphere very pleasing. I will be coming here again and again and again! You DEFINITELY NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE!
(5)Bob R.
This place is great! I am Bohemian and grew up eating this food made by my mom, grand ma and aunts. I can assure you that this place is really good! The Sauerkraut is awesome, the grilled pork tenderloin is just delicious! Their brews are off the charts! I love this restaurant and go here every time I am in Salt Lake City! If you like this type of food don't miss this place!
(4)Xinmiao L.
Damn it! They putted a spell on me! Now all I crave is their sweet creamy french toast. I cannot describe the simple but delicious french toast with words. However, you can just look at the photo I posted on their yelp page and see how yummy it looks. Also my boyfriend ordered the Verona sandwich and he enjoyed it too. I know he likes the place if he will bring his coworkers for lunch. We both had a good time maybe because we had a hip happy jolly server on that day.
(5)Miriam P.
Based on the interior decor, "Bohemian" doesn't seem like the best name for this place. Unable to ignore the many animal heads on the walls, "Backwoods" or "Hunter's Delight" may be more accurate. Although, "Brewery" is totally appropriate. We didn't venture too much into the menu and kept it simple with fish n chips and a burger. Our menu selections seemed pretty basic, hard to screw up, but we weren't impressed. My fish was NOT fresh. It tasted a bit too fishy for my tatste, mushy for my comfort, and the pieces were small and meager. My husband's "garlic" burger was lacking...in garlic. He eventually got to a bite with garlic in it, but that was about it for any garlic. So technically, I suppose they fulfilled their end of the deal for a garlic burger, but pretty pathetic garlic burger if you ask me. And I can probably say the same for the fries. Where they lacked in quality, they made up in quantity. I had more fries piled on my plate than I could have possibly finished in one sitting and while the fries had potential as I'm partial to skinny fries and even more-so, garlic skinny fries, both of our servings of fries were cold and stale. They had definitely been sitting out too long before they ever made it to my plate. I may go back again to try other menu options since the place seemed like it SHOULD have been decent, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon.
(2)Rachel F.
Not always the best service but the food is always great. Especially the beer. I would definitely recommend the brewery tour on the first Wednesday of the month. Drewskie the bar tender is one of the best bar tenders ever. Make sure to sit at the bar of you want great service! Love him! Drew will not let you down!
(4)Anita C.
Love the roasted garlic bulbs- so creamy and delicious. The tomato basil tapenade they come with are a nice addition. The fish & chips were amazing. The fish was fried perfectly and the batter was seasoned well and so crispy! The garlic fries were also delicious. Portions are generous, can't wait to go back and try their bratwurst.
(4)gretchen G.
Awesome lunch, good beer, great service. We will be back for the fish and chips and sauerkraut.

I took a Chinese couple that were vacationing at the Raintree Relaxation Retreat in Sandy to this restaurant because I heard it was "the best food ever!", and I wanted to introduce them to some of the local "Sweet Spots". The Bohemian Grill totally lived up to its reputation in every way! The restaurant has a very pronounced "Europeanesque" atmosphere - I've been to Bohemia in Europe and you wouldn't be able to differentiate the decor and ambiance. Almost an enchanted experience. I had the Salmon Salad which was fantastic! The serving sizes are large, you definitely get your money's worth. I'm not a drinker, but my friends both had a house crafted beer and were equally satisfied. Everything on the menu is quite original or traditional for Europe - in other words, the same named dish will be an almost entirely different experience for your palate than one you've had before at a less distinctive local restaurant. They really understand the art of spicing the food - very rich and deep, but not excessive. I'll be going there frequently in the future.

Salmon spinach salad is amazing! Everything I've had there is great! Garlic fries & burger outstanding & of course their beer is out of this world!
(4)Tyson S.
I sat at the bar with a buddy to catch up after 10 years. We had some chicken wings, cooked to order (crispy) and they were perfect. The garlic burger/fries was also delish (you have to be ok with a lot of garlic). The beer was amazing and the ambiance can't be beat. The entire staff was professional and courteous. What more can you ask for? We arrived earlier in the evening before the rush, and it packed up quick. I'm not sure if they take reservations, I could see a possible wait if you're there during the dinner rush. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Deep in the depths of Cottonwood Heights, there lies the Bohemian Brewery! Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of their beers but i kept hearing that the food is pretty good. As you first walk in, you get the feeling that you just walked into an expensive cabin deep in the woods... which is awesome. The menu isn't huge, but it has some great stuff. They have burgers, salads and then a few German options. The first time I came, i got the brat sandwich. It's bigger than i imagined it would be, and had great flavor to it. The second time, I got the schnitzel. They have the option for chicken or pork, the waiter said chicken was better so thats what i went with. My friend got the pork and we split them in half which confirmed that its nearly impossible to beat pork. Don't get me wrong, the chicken was good and PERFECTLY fried but it just didn't quite match up to the pork. I substituted the vegetables for the spaetzle which was okay, but relatively boring. It also comes with mashed potatoes which were great. I have a hard time spending $17 on this meal, but it'll be nice to throw into my rotation every couple of weeks/months. Give it a shot if you're down in the area. They also do Paint Nite which is a lot of fun.

Love Love Love this place. The food the service and cleanliness is top notch. Always greeted and served with a smile. It's always our go to place for great food, etc. They have the best salmon ever!! Thank you Bohemian for always being awesome!!!
(5)Kate M.
We went with family and I wasn't very impressed. I didn't get to try beers, because it was not worth the hassle I would have lived through from his family about me drinking (since they don't imbibe). The spatzle was overcooked, but the garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. The meats were cooked well, but side veggies were definitely undercooked. Service was slow considering it was Labor day and they were staffed for a busy day, even though the restaurant was mostly empty.
(3)Frank B.
One of the best places to get a rueben in the salt lake area. The homemade sauerkraut is the best i'v had anywhere. The services is excellent every time I go in the owner greets me and and give me a rundown of what's new. You can tell he love what he does.
(5)Mars A.
The food is great, the beer is good. If you can make sure Pedro is your server. That dude is the best server in salt lake city I've encountered.
(5)Julie H.
I really love this place...the food is always good, Really good. I have had so many different things on the menu here and am never disappointed. I have to recommend the Ruben if you are into those or the Prague Salad and obviously a manly sized beer to go with it. I am pretty sure its a good thing I moved away from it because at one point I was coming here 3x a week.
(5)Cassandra R.
The best sauerkraut ever! Instead of being drenched in vinegar it actually has a sweet zing to it. It's amazing! Sunday brunch is great! Love the bloody Mary's and mimosas! The food has always been great! It's usually busy so sometimes it can take a while to get the food. The serving staff is not always the best, but the manager is very nice. Oh, and the have great microbrews!
(4)Kim T.
On this last visit I had the bratwurst and Pierogies. I didn't think I could find Pierogies in SLC, but I was wrong and they were good. The whole meal was! My husband loves the meatloaf. We had the garlic buds for the appetizer ... which I probably would not get a second time. Not too long of a wait and good service. One of our favorite places. Parking is not good on a busy night, though.
(4)Sally D.
Good delicious I ordered brats with sauerkraut and pierogi very tasty, my husband ordered the club with garlic fries, also very good. We both ordered beers, waitress offered suggestions even brought samples we we were not sure. The place was very clean and service was excellent. I will defiantly go back. We went about 2 on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside perfect weather .
(4)Dan M.
4 stars for the food. 3 stars for the beer (average, but good German style beers). First off, I like the style of the restaurant, looks like a German ski chalet from the outside. Parking was a little difficult and awkward (if you circle and there are no spots, you pretty much have to exit to the street without the opportunity to circle back around). The food menu has great choices. Besides the German choices of Bratwurst and Schnitzel, they have a nice selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, soup and wood-fired pizzas. Woo Hoo they have Buffalo burgers (bison beef which is low fat and tasty)! You can swap the garlic fries for any of the other sides - try the spaetzle ! The buffalo was cooked well and tasted great with nice amount of tomato and almost too much bacon (can you ever have too much bacon). The beer was fine but nothing unique. The Schwarzbier (darker ale) was my fav, and they have a nice lager and two light pilsner and Hef which are fine but not for someone who enjoys more varieties and IPAs. I tried 4 tasters ($0.50 each) of their 4 styles and it was a good way to taste your way through Germany - Bohemian style. I like this place, but wouldn't go out of my way if I was staying in downtown SLC to get here since there are plenty of options walkable from downtown.
(4)Lisa M.
I've been dying to try this restaurant and i was impressed. The schnitzel was awesome. The garlic fries were great. The beers meh. But are server was really nice. Overall a great experience and we'll definitely be back.
(4)Tyler P.
This place is nicely decorated. It feels sort of like a ski lodge. The food selection is outstanding. I got the bratwurst and sauerkraut, it was delicious! Everyone's food they ordered was delicious at my table. The beer is just ok. The service however is horrible. Not sure what was going on. It took 10 minutes to get me a CAN of beer and a glass. Longer for food.
(3)Dustin S.
Easy 5 out of 5. I absolutely love this place. Great food and even better beer. Service is reasonable and I have not had to wait for extended periods of time. I also like that I can take some beer "to-go" in a Bohemian branded growler. If I have a favorite place to eat, this is it. Only ding I can think of is the parking. It's usually pretty hard to find a spot, even when it's not extremely busy.
(4)Alexia H.
The atmosphere is fun. The food is delicious. I love this place because they serve a nice variety of food for meat lovers and vegetarians. I cannot stay away from those garlic fries!
(5)Tom A.
Really enjoyed it. Seated immediately; friendly, efficient waitress, large, diverse menu. Buddy & I both had the Bohemian Schnitzel. He had pork, chicken for me. Very tender and moist with great flavor. Substituting red cabbage for the mashed potatoes was no problem. Nice side of FRESH vegetables; not the frozen medley that many places serve. Will definitely return soon. Beer was not bad, either. Go early...business was brisk on this Tuesday evening.
(5)Rob D.
We came to Salt Lake to ski and asked a girl in a coffee shop what her favorite place to eat was. She sent us here, and man, am I glad she did The food is awesome - we had the calamari to start and it was literally the best calamari appetizer we've ever had. We followed that with the brat and pierogis and beef stroganoff - both excellent. We also sampled all their craft beer for $.50 a sample which is a great way to try them. The service was impeccable; very friendly, helpful and quick. If we are ever back in town, totally coming back here.
(5)Randy H.
Was fair. We where in a large group, and we ordered quite a variety of food from the menu. I am sorry to say that there was nothing spectacular. Steak and brats where over cooked. Fish and chips, fish was dry but had a decent flavor. Over all the food was fair, but very overpriced. Now for service this was spectacular. Our waitresses was very friendly and attentive. She even took the cake we brought in for a birthday got some candles and brought back out lit. She made the overall experience worth being there. Can't say we go back on our own. But would eat there again if someone wanted to meet there. Really only rates 2.5 star's
(3)Rod S.
I finally made it here after seeing it for so long. The deck was welcoming. It's dog friendly too. The large menu contains a lot of dishes that pair really well with the beer. They also do a nice mix of pub grub you'd expect in America as well as old World dishes. The food has a lot of nods to Czech cuisine. They will never be able to match the fresh beers of Pilsen and Budvar, nor the experience of eating and drinking on the square in Prague. However, you can taste the heritage in beer and food while not trying to just be a mimic. I should have come before this. I'll certainly be back.

Boehemian Brewery was the choice of a friend of mine, who ran the 2013 Park City marathon in Park City, UT on 08/17/2013 and I did the 2013 Run with the Horses Marathon in Green River, WY. We all met up here at the Bohemian Brewery in Midvale to celebrate all our accomplishments of the day. I had to rush it down from GreenRiver, WY 2 1/2 hours away to make it in time for a 6:30pm dinner reservation. Thankful as ever that I did make it and they haven't ordered yet! That awesome! It was a nice experience overall and we dined outside on the patio. The ambiance was nice and it wasn't close to the street, but we heard a couple of ambulances during our meal. Located in Midvale on 7200 S next to the I-15S ramp, the Bohemian Brewery was just what I needed after running around Green River, WY that day. I really wasn't thinking, but I just ordered off the top of my head and not paying attention to price. Yes folks, this place is kind of pricey, but it is good. Our server was Jordan. He was good for us. I ordered first the large beer - the green Pilsen to taste. It was a giant manly sized beer that cost $8.50. I was a bit sticker shocked, but whatever. Next, I ordered the pub steak rare. I thought that it came out a whole steak, but the presentation came out cut and drenched in some gravy sauce. This was certainly no steakhouse, but the prices tend to dictate so. It came with garlic mash potatoes and I ordered a side of garlic fries on the side. The taste was good, but not great. Thought that the portions were somewhat adequate, but could have been more generous, especially with the vegetables. Maybe they're secretly telling you you're not supposed to eat that much? Maybe, maybe not. The best part was the company and that made the pain of the day's marathon earlier in the day fade away into the Wasatch mountains. Service was good and tended to mimic fine dining, although it was just a casual affair. It felt more upscale than I thought, but then again, I over think it. The sticker shock came when I received the bill, but I should've known better. The entire experience was well worth seeing my marathoner friends whom live in and around SLC again. It was awesome. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant and brewery just because of the selection of beer and various local beers they have on tap. The prices for food can be pricey, so be forewarned. They have a private parking lot and there was ample parking, at least on a Saturday night. Not sure what it is like on a typical weekend, but thankful that there were plenty of spaces. I enjoyed myself and hope you would too. Cheers! Support local! B

Great beer. Great atmosphere. The cherny schwarzbier is awesome. Didn't have any food, but everything I saw everyone around me getting looked awesome. Just waiting for buddies tires to get done.
(4)Joe J.
Stopped in here last week for a meal on a work trip. The decor and atmosphere are pretty fun and it definitely does make you feel like you're in a Bohemian Brewery. I bet this place would be a stellar location to catch the latest Champion's League match or just any futbol in general. The food seemed slightly overpriced for the quality, but the food was still very good. I really didn't have anything negative to say other than the temperature of the place. DANG was it warm in there. I'll probably consider this place again the next time I roll through the Salt Lake City area.
(4)Katy R.
We are visiting Utah and found this gem up the street from our hotel. AMAZING! great food! My hubby had a pub steak, I had a garlic burger, our daughter had mac and cheese. All with Nachos as a starter. Needless to say, we didnt finish it all! it was SO yummy! we will be going back before we end our trip to Utah
(5)Jarrod S.
Fast friendly service. We took the advice of the waiter and ordered the blackberry brandy chicken, then played it safe with the fish n chips. The chicken was superb. The fish was good, especially like the garlic fries and slaw. The roasted garlic app was messy but really unique and tasty. Also good cherny black beer. I'll be back the next time I'm in SLC.
(5)Shelayne C.
This is so sad, one of our favorite restaurants. I wish they would have consistency in the quality of their food! Last few times have been VERY disappointing!!!!
(2)Cody K.
The food has always been fantastic and that's the main reason that I keep going back! I've never left dissatisfied... The atmosphere is pretty cool but the service is 50/50. I'll be honest when I say that I dred having Karen as my server... She has made me late to work several times on lunch breaks even when I have told her that I was on a time crunch. On one occasion she left me and a coworker for twenty minutes after she'd cleared our plates before she brought our check. I was going to give them a 3/5 but now that they switched from Pepsi to Coke... I had to give them a 4/5. Great Place with Great Food!
(4)Lori H.
Went to Bohemian tonight with a girlfriend. I've never had a bad meal and tonight was no exception. Was greeted by Jason at the door and while waiting for my friend, I inquired about the special. He is very knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. To make a long story short he talked me into the special, Jagerschnitzel with red cabbage and Spatzle. I was NOT disappointed. The pork was fork tender, breaded lightly and to perfection and oh so good.The sauce on the side consisted of mushrooms (yum) in a sauce with just enough bite in the tangy flavor to make my taste buds do the happy dance. The red cabbage was mouth watering and the Spatzle oh so good. Highly recommended! Thanks Jason for talking me into the special
(5)Vikkie N.
Gosh - I hate writing "Meh" reviews, but I really can't wax lyrical about this place. I'm not sure if I've become a pub-grub snob, or what, but they serve regular pub-grub, cooked like pub grub (ie: nothing outstanding). That said - if you need a garlic cure, try their garlic fries. You'll be sweating the stuff for days. The day we were there it was a warm spring day and they had the fire going inside. Guess where we were sitting.... yep, right by the fire. I think I came out with heatstroke. I believe the fireplace table was punishment for not wanting to sit at the small 2-seater table, in the dark, by the back door. I also prefer my Mimosa (aka Bucks Fizz to my countrymen) served in a Champagne glass rather than a small red wine glass... just sayin'.
(2)Jeffrey S.
I've been back a few times for dinner, and overall I'm still a big fan. This is such a unique treasure in this part of the valley; there's nothing else like it. When my uncle came to town (he's a beer fan) I knew this is where I'd take him. He was indeed a fan of their brews, and especially the little $1 sampler glass. Once again, I can't speak to the authenticity of the Bohemian-ness, but there are some dishes that you' won't find anywhere else. And the portions are pretty generous. I was snarfing down schnitzel and filled myself right up. Ambiance is unique. Like a European hunting lodge. With a patio. And grape vines outside. It's a thing, trust me. It's a solid bet if you're looking for something different. The food isn't exploding through the barriers of epicurean exploration, but it's not trying to. Beer. Brunch. Dinner. Do it.
(5)linda p.
My husband and I tried the Bohemian for the second time this evening. I do love the atmosphere and sitting outside today was delightful. I must admit, my husband is easy to please and he enjoyed his meal and his beers. However, my Bohemian Schnitzel was terribly overcooked and tough. I ordered the chicken, but think I must have been served the pork due to the toughness. I was only able to eat a couple of bites and took the rest home to the dog. She loved it! The mashed potatoes were good but I agree with other reviewers that the veggies were way undercooked. I had a couple of Bahama Mamas to drink. I'm a lightweight when it comes to liquor, but after drinking two of them, I felt confident that little if any alcohol was put in the drinks. Overall for me a real disappointment. I must comment on our server. He was courteous, knew the menu and was delightful.
(2)Caryn A.
I have been to Bohemian Brewery once before my visit today, I was impressed then and I still am today. While I was hungover and couldn't think of ordering beer today I do love their beers and buy them frequently. The building is adorable and I was seated right next to the fireplace. The gentlemen that seated us explained that they don't even own a freezer so they don't have that fake food and everything is fresh. Our waiter greeted us promptly and made sure we were well taken care of the entire visit. I had the grilled veggie sandwich and it might have just been my current physical condition but I was blown away by the combination of mushrooms veggies and the perfect amount of cheese. The fries are really good too. I want to come here for Sunday brunch soon.
(4)Carole P.
Honestly I have gone to the Bohemian forever, and frequently as well. I love the place and really like the food. It is Christmas, and I should know better than to visit any restaurant this time of year, but we had been shopping all day and just wanted to go to a familiar place and not be faced with cooking-we were definitely tired. So, usually when you get the check back, your card is on top, but not this time, so I missed it. I was all the way across town when I realized my card was missing and had to drive all the way back in the freezing rain to the restaurant. When we got back, we were definitely perturbed that they had not given our card back, but when the manager ( I really think it was the owner) came out she basically said it was all our fault and started to argue with us. I have worked in restaurants and hotels all my life, and seriously, if I had started an argument with a customer, even if it was their fault, I wouldn't have had my job for long. People pay high prices in places like restaurants and hotels for the service. We know how to cook-sometmes we just want someone else to do it, and the dishes, and treat us really nice. So that's it. I only offer it as a tidbit. I'm done because I expect to be served in service businesses. I'm not hating, just offering a suggestion that if you value service you maybe should take your business elsewhere.
(1)Laura N.
I have been many times. Always great experience. Food is special. It's not the same pub food although, there is some of that too. The staff is well trained and accommodating to special requests. Value for money. Great place for a date!
(5)Sam W.
Went at an off time after arriving in town. Service was fine, not great but not horrible. I ordered the pork schnitzle with spatzle instead of the normal sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes. They were fine but nothing special. They give a thin white lemony sauce that wasn't much of anything other than lemon. I definitely missed having a nice hunter's gravy covering everything. A lot of the combinations on the menu seemed a bit odd. Portion sizes are substantial. I also had the oktoberfest beer which, like the food, was fine but nothing special.
(3)Tim B.
This is the place we go when we dont know where to go. Can't go wrong with brats and a cold beer. Recommend getting a beer flight to try em all.
(4)Hang W.
Been here several times and here are the lessons I have learned. Don't overlook the specials. The desserts on special are fabulous. The soups, as strange as some sound, are super tasty. My favorites are their garlic fries, SPÄTZLE, pirogies, fish n chips and the pear salad. One odd thing to note however is the wings, the bones in our wings were all broken up and it was a bit tiresome dealing with wing shrapnel. I get a kick out of their naming convention of beer sizes. They only have a few beers but the few they have are done really well.
(4)Amanda K.
Ended a great vacation with an awesome meal here! I love the dark-lit, no frills atmosphere they have going on. My boyfriend, Alex, and I decided to sit at the bar since there was a long wait for a regular table & that ended up making our experience even better than I think it would have been at a table. The bar is nice and big, made of some kind of beautiful wood. Alex and I both ordered a beer to kick off our meals & both liked our choices. I had a light, summery beer that was very tasty. For actual food I went with the pork schnitzel with a side of spaetzle. This was awesome, the pork had good flavor with a nice crispy crust. The spaetzle was also good...a little chewy, but tasty nonetheless. Alex went with his go-to choice of a rueben and it was good as well. Good portion of corned beef sandwiched between some quality toasted bread. By sitting at the bar, we ended our meal by starting up a conversation with a few of the people who had come to the bar on their own...this was the highlight of the night for me! We met one guy from Texas who was vacationing on his own to get some skiiing in, one local guy who was a frequent visitor of the brewery from what I gathered, and another local who explained the proposed gondola link between Brighton and The Canyons. All of them were hilarious and very enjoyable to chat with. The bartender we had also provided some great service...didn't bug us too much and was quick & efficient. I will definitely come back here next time I head out to Salt Lake City for some skiing...my fingers will be crossed that I can miss the inversion next time though!!!
(5)Melissa D.
From a Polish/German girl, this is some great delicious bohemian food. Schnitzel, red cabbage and spaetzel were all tasty. The beers are THE best in Utah and can hold their own in comparison to the rest of the country. Service was friendly and quick. Explanations of the beer and food from Fred was so helpful. If you are in salt lake you should make it a point to eat and drink at the Bohemian!
(5)Cody M.
The food was decent but overpriced. But this really isn't what bothered me. A big group of us went to Bohemian to celebrate a friends going away party. It felt like the server was rushing us and he was rude. To top it off we were notified that another party had arrived that apparently reserved the table and we were asked to leave to clear the table for the other party. We had a nearly full pitcher of beer left when we were hurried out of the restaurant. I will not be a patron at this restaurant again.
(1)K L.
I've been to a lot of breweries down in San Diego county and they all had great food and beer. Bohemian is one of my favorites. The service is amazing, the servers are super friendly and helpful, especially when you don't know which beer to order. If you want a good specialized burger, their garlic burger is to die for.
(5)Tim B.
Love this place, just wish there was one nearer where I live in Herriman. Great food good beer and a cute bartender.... No need to say more...
(5)Troy C.
Have been to the Bohemian a couple types in the last month, enjoyable experience each time. They specialize in German food, Schnitzel, Brats, etc food I am particularly fond of, to go along with the food they have a full bar and their house made beers. The first time we went we were there for the food, the wife getting the Schnitzel and me getting the Brats. The food was tasty but maybe a bit over priced. One thing the two of us really enjoy is German Spatzel, I found theirs to be good but the wife was not impressed, I would say Siegfried's Delicatessen is better.. The second time we went we stopped for drinks and appetizers. We got the potato pancakes which came with applesauce and sour cream, they were OK. We also got an order of wings, the wife enjoyed them but I was not too impressed. The order was good sized at a reasonable price but came with a sweet BBQ sauce, I would prefer a more traditional spicy wing sauce. The beers at the Bohemian are good, I enjoyed the Cherny Boch and a couple of the other options.
(4)Laura M.
Yum the Schnitzel, the goulash, even the club sandwich and the best beers and I just love the manly stein size of girlish proportions! I am a huge Weiss beer fan, this recipe did not disappoint.

Tell me if you have heard this one before: I guy from Portland walks into a brewery in Utah. No, there really isn't any more to that. But have you heard that one before? Probably not... And yet, being away from the land of froth and coffee and doing some work in the Hinterlands of Utah the next day, I find myself here after a recommendation from the clerk at the hotel. So my coworker and I head over. The place wasn't very busy, but it is 2:30 in the afternoon. We sit down and look at what is on tap. Curiously, they only make lagers here. Granted, they are all brewed here, but they are all lagers. Something I haven't run into in Portlandia, the proud home of every hoppy ale known to mankind. So I go for the pilsner, and my companion in crime goes for the hefeweizen. I must say, the pilsner was pretty good, albeit a bit weak (I think due to some weird ass Utah brewing laws), while the hefe was right on point, with nice hints of clove and banana. Quite impressive actually. The server asked if we wanted a glass or mug, and we went for the mug. And it came in a 1 liter glass stein (think Oktoberfest in Munich). Didn't see that coming... The food was pretty good. I don't remember what my coworker got, but I had the bratwurst and Pierogis . Man, that was really tasty. The ingredients were fresh, the cooking was done well, and the plate was overloaded. Pretty decent food. I am a big man, and I couldn't finish it. Then again, I had a liter of beer rumbling around in my tummy, so that may have played a part. If you are in that part of SLC (I don't know what part it is...I just get my way around through GPS, and it was with some number crossed with another number) you should check it out. PS: To the guy with a party of 60: Did you rent out the entire building? I hope you at least made reservations ahead of time...
(4)Howie O.
I guess the food was good but maybe the Bohemian style just doesn't suite me well. The place always looks busy so that probably speaks volumes over my review. I had a beer a brat and thought it was decent but nothing that I would write home about.
(3)Tony L.
Everything seems a little blurry after going through a few pitchers beers that night, so I hope I can remember all the details. We came here with a group of "mostly" guys to support the Yelp Eats event. The group got a little too big for the patio, so we ended up sitting upstairs. Our waitress for the night was excellent and she took very good care of us. Despite each of us choosing a single item from each of the category, there were waaaay too much food per person. I got the Buffalo Wings, Brat Sandwich, and Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes, but I was pretty full after my appetizer. (Perhaps the portion size were meant for you to threw up after drinking too much then start eating again? :P) The Buffalo Wings were decent, and it was extremely sour like most places. Brat Sandwich tasted good as well, but I thought it was a little too "cheesy". For desserts, the Chocolate Hazelnuts Crepes was delicious, as the chocolate and nut flavors just mixed perfectly. As for beer, we tried the Bavarian, Viennese, and Cherny Bock. The Bavarian was light and refreshing especially after adding lemon flavor to it. Viennese had a dark roasting taste to it. Cherny Bock is reserved beer for the manly men, and it is just wrong to not get the manly size for this beer.
(4)Sariene J.
Ate here for the first time last night. We were a huge group so service was a little slow but our waitress did great overall. Food was great, beer was great. Their garlic fries are possibly the best fries I've ever had. Definitely want to go back

I came here for my birthday dinner last November. I was painfully underwhelmed. For starters, maybe I would have been a little bit more objective and forgiving had it not been on my birthday. I didn't really want to come here, but my mother's boyfriend had purchased tickets to a beer and food pairing here and decided she couldn't back out. The staff here were nice. They were accommodating and hands on considering they had several other guests to cater to. The first food that we started off with was some kind of Wisconsin Cheese Soup. I actually really liked this dish, and had everything been as good I probably would have enjoyed it that much more. But that's where the good review ends because everything else was either cold or seriously lacking in flavor. We had some sort of meat, that was so uninspiring that I can't even remember what it was. However I remember that it was incredibly salty and lukewarm upon arrival. I didn't finish it, nor do I finish anything else for that matter. As somewhere that prides themselves on producing really good German food, they seriously fall very short. Perhaps I will give them the benefit of the doubt seeing as it was a very crowded night for them but I seriously can't imagine a vast improvement from November 2012. There are so many other great places to eat.
(2)Grace S.
I enjoyed the schnitzel but wish it came with a little sauce. The pork cutlet they provided was HUGE--enough for 2 meals. The pierogies and brats were ok but I thought the pierogies were a little too doughy, not light and dainty like how I prefer. I ate at Bohemian Brewery on a Friday night and even though it as quite busy, the service was still attentive and food came in a reasonable time. The restaurant is quite a drive from my home so I don't think I'll make the effort to come out for their so-so food. I do enjoy buying their beers (in cans) at the grocery store and enjoyed the varieties available at the brewery that I haven't tried before.

I can't go into The Bohemian without singing along to the song made famous by Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, simply stating that he "uses antlers in all of his decorating." Now that I've set the mood for you all, let me tell you why The Bohemian has been a staple for me since I discovered the beauty that is a pint of Cherny Bock, and garlic fries with their house aioli. Firstly, I like beer. I'm Australian, which would lead you to believe that I've been known to have a drink or two, and you would be correct. In my formative years I liked the lighter stuff, now - no matter how cold or hot it is outside, or if I am feeling team Jedi or Sith - I like my beers like I like my soul: dark and broody. The Cherny will not disappoint any lover of a good dark beer, and the standards that The Bohemian brews to are that of German purity, which means you're getting an excellent pour every time. Along with the Cherny, The Bohemian has three other staples, the Viennese Lager, a Czech Pilsner, and the Bavarian Weiß. Not to be outdone by the other local brewers, The Bohemian also has a rotating Seasonal Brew, so be sure to ask what that is to see if there's something other than "the usual" that will tantalise your tastebuds. Now that we have the most important part out of the way, let's move on to the food. Most people will argue that there are many good garlic burgers to be found in SLC, and you may find that my next statement is a big call - but I stand by it - there's only one, and you'll find it here. The Bohemian's garlic burger is magnificently prepared every time and usually served cooked medium. Along with the moist and delicious burger, you'll get peppered bacon, cheddar cheese, the usual toppings (tomato/lettuce/onion), and a side of the most magnificent garlic fries in the land. It's real garlic, not powder, it doesn't come with a hockey puck for a patty, and the onion roll is delicious. The Bohemian has a house made aioli that some may refer to as "fry sauce" but it's lighter and tastier to me than a lot of the other sauces in the land of Zion. It doesn't just stop here though, the salads are HUGE, their wood fired pizzas are tasty, the goulash is delicious, and their Bratwurst and Pierogi plate is to die for. Oh, and try a side of Spaetzle with your next meal, I promise it will end up having a special place in your heart next to your grown-up love of Mac & Cheese. All in all, The Bohemian doesn't disappoint in my eyes, my belly, nor my wallet, and they even have a scooter museum upstairs along with great space for large groups. Go Czech them out ;)

This place has the best pork schnitzel I've ever had, also the beer is pretty tasty I come here every time I'm in the Salt Lake City area for work. Also their walls are lined with some funny pictures

I've been here several time and the service and food was always great. However, today was a little bit disappointing. Service was a bit slow, but at the end she made it up. The halibut tasted a bit old. I don't know if it was the oil or what. It wasn't as fresh as it normally is. I will come back though. The previous experiences I've had, have been on point.

I saw a few promising reviews so I got the boys to go here for dinner. We didn't realize that Monday Night Football was on, but that was a bonus. Some of the appetizers were 1/2 off =) and we were not complaining. Crab cakes and Roasted Garlic Bulbs to start off. Crab cakes came out very nice, and I don't think you should be able to mess up the roasted garlic. My buddy tried samples of their four signature beers and one seasonal. He settled on the Viennese Lager by the time our entrees came, and since it was the suggested pairing I tried a pint myself. As I am just starting to learn about beer, I can not say too much about it other than i really liked the flavor. Nothing too overpowering. Piergoies & Bratwurst came first sitting on top of a bed of Sauerkraut. My buddy was unable to finish all of it. He complimented the Bratwurst as being one of the best he has tried. Also he mentioned that the sauerkraut was not as tangy and did not have the bite he expected, but went well with everything. My other friend tried the special today of Red Trout stuffed with Crab and...other goodies. I didn't hear much from him since he was deep into his meal and big mug of Viennese Lager, but I got the feeling he was enjoying everything. I had the Bohemian Goulash which was quite filling. Rich flavors and wonderful bread. Almost too rich for me and I had to skip desert. I hope I took a picture... As I was recovering an order was placed for the Bread Pudding. It was as beautiful as it sounded in the menu and did not last very long. Hopefully I get to try some next time and can comment on it. All I really got was "Oh this is good, you have to try some..." and then it was gone. Some people mentioned problems with parking, but we were lucky tonight. Lot is a bit interesting though. I really liked the feel I got inside. Very welcoming. Some of the decorations were playful, most just seemed to fit the lodge feeling. We ended up by the fireplace and it was a bit too warm, but will be much appreciated in the months to come. Great attentive service tonight. Everything flowed smoothly, seeming to come at just the right time. Our servers suggestions and comments helped us to decide which way to go and were spot on...very thankful for her help. I would gladly come back here and bring others so they can experience great food and good beer at a place so comfortable you just don't want to leave.

Great food, with a wide selection of beers. Tends to get pretty busy on the weekends, but there's a great atmosphere. Service can be slow, so prepare to settle in, but it's worth it. If you get a chance check out the vintage Vespas on the second floor.
(4)Vincent D.
Great brunch and or lunch. Quick and attentive service. Lot of food for what you get so great value. Pierogies And bratwurst was great.
(4)Darin B.
Since moving to SLC, I have been to the Bohemian a few times and I have had some great food and some unbelievably good brews. The staff is extremely friendly, and the atmosphere is fun.
(5)lisa h.
awesome!!!!! love this place! sampling all the beers is so much fun and the food is TO DIE FOR. SAUSAGE IN MY MOUTH!!!
(5)Jean W.
I've been to BoBrew several times, and I always have a good experience. Great location, plenty of parking, friendly service, great beer selection, decent food, eclectic and fun atmosphere - what's not to like? If you're coming for the beer, you won't be disappointed. Their brews are pretty tasty. My personal favorite is the Bavarian Weiss with a hunk of fresh orange. If you're undecided, you can sample any brew for a very acceptable price. Other draught size choices are also reasonably priced. The food is plentifully plated, and average on the price scale. They serve a lovely Pear Salad - my favorite thing on the menu. I've had other salads which were also worthy, but I can't seem to stay away from the Pear. They have many meat dishes, which are a bit heavy for me (ie. the Schnitzel, Meatloaf and Goulash - all good but very hefty). Hubby likes their burgers, and often defaults to the Buffalo Burger complete with BACON and gorgonzola! Their apps and sides are highlights - if you miss the Gilroy roasted garlic with tomato tapenade and bruschetta-type bread, I feel bad for you. It's a treat for garlic lovers! The garlic fries are also delightfully garlicky and wonderful - served with a good aioli dipping sauce. The beer-battered onion rings are great as well, but are occasionally a bit greasy. I would recommend checking with your server to see when they last changed out their fry oil before ordering them. Skip the crab cakes, the quesadilla, and the caprese apps. I'm not sure why they are still serving these, because they're so far out of their genre. They don't do them well. When ordering, keep in mind where you are, and their associated specialties, and you'll do just fine. But venture into their faux-Mexitalianish choices, and you'll likely regret it like I have. That being said, I've never tried their pizza. Keeping in mind the previous warning, I'm never tempted. I've also never been for brunch. I hear quite mixed reviews, so I'm not rushing to brunch it up here. BB hosts and attends a lot of biker-centric events. There are always many bikes lined up in the parking lot, and bikers lined up at the bar. Their beer has also won a lot of national and local awards. My theory is, if the biker crowd loves the beer it must be good! I do have a gripe about the menus at BoBrew - there are just so many misspellings. It's a big pet peeve of mine. Seriously, who designs and prints these menus? How many people are involved? Because unless it's a lone 3rd grader, they should be ashamed of themselves. It's bad, but it won't keep me from their wares. Lass es dir schmecken!
(4)Erika T.
Won't be back. The fries were garlicky all right, but they looked and tasted like McDonald's fries! Lame. The nachos were DRY - no salsa, guac, pico de gallo, nothing! Cheese, black olives, a few beans (literally), and sour cream. Terrible! All other breweries in SLC put this place to shame.
(1)Christine C.
I've been here several times and I always love it. My favorite dishes are the Bavarian Brats or the Pierogies and Bratwurst. It's a neat building and it's got a nice, laid-back atmosphere. Great place to eat!
(5)Zack S.
The dark beer at Bohemian is fantastic! Lots of great food too. The atmosphere is awesome and very warm--with a nice fireplace in the middle of the dining area to boot. Overall I was super impressed with the beer (brewed in-house, of course) and the fantastic selection of German-style appetizers and entrees. Will definitely be coming back again soon.
(5)Linda K.
I have been here multiple times either just for drinks or for dinner and drinks and each time is superb. It's nice to just sit and hang out at the bar and the bartenders have always been friendly. I tend to stick to favorites, but the bartender kindly gave me little samples to try other beers when I tried to venture out (and was kindly not charged the .50 cents as I should have been for each sample). There hasn't been a beer that I didn't like there, but I do tend to order and enjoy the Pilsner every time. I love garlic fries, and I love garlic fries at Bohemian. I could eat an entire plate as a meal and be completely satisfied. Always get the fries! No complaints about their nacho plate as an appetizer, but it gets a bit pricey just to add some chicken to it. What I always crave here is their plate of Peirogies and Bratwurst. It's usually too much food for me to finish in one sitting (as much as I want to) so there are always leftovers. The brats are delicious and who doesn't love cheesy potato peirogies? I love all the flavors together with a little bit of sauerkraut, dill sauce, and topped with the bacon bits and onions. YUM! In the warmer months, it's also nice to sit out on the patio. It doesn't have the greatest view (looks directly onto the parking lot), but it's just nice to be outside. The service has never been an issue here and everyone has always been friendly and attentive.
(5)Lexi S.
Pretty good food and pretty good beer. I thought the prices were high for the food and I thought the flavor profile was lacking a bit in the beer department. A bit too one-note for me. The atmosphere picks up some points and would like to come back for the patio when it warms up. I wouldn't rule it out in a pinch, but it didn't knock my Bavarian socks off.
(3)Joshua S.
Ah, the Bohemian Brewery! One of my favorite places to go. The beer selection is not huge; they focus mainly on their signature beers, so unless a seasonal is available, they tend to only have the main four, but they have plenty of other very delicious drinks. I have never had a poor server at this place. In fact, I can say, hands down, that I had the best waiter I've ever had in my life at this place, and let me tell you why. I went here for the brunch on Father's Day and I ordered pancakes and the biscuits with brat gravy (yeah, I know... I had a carb-fest, but we were celebrating). Anyways, the waiter was always on top of everything I could possibly need. There was even one point where I thought to myself, "Hmm, I could have used more gravy on my biscuits." Then suddenly, out of nowhere the waiter appeared with a bowl of gravy and stated, "When I walked by, I noticed your biscuits were looking a little bare, would you like more gravy?" I was very pleased when we left that day. The food has always been very good, we've even ordered things from the lunch menu when it was dinner rush and the staff has gone above and beyond to make every visit a great time.
(5)Lindsay B.
Love this place! Both food and beer is delicious. My favorite is the schnitzel, soooo good. Have tried a variety of things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. The place is large so there never seems to be much of a wait. One of our go to places for sure!
(5)Fiona H.
Seeing as it's nearly impossible to find German food in...well, anywhere, I was very surprised to find this place a few years ago in Salt Lake City. Came back recently with my family and it was still as delicious as I remember. The food is great, sauerkraut is amazing and I love that they fry their spätzle. They have many delicious beers on tap as well and I love the lodge decor this place has with the big fire place and faux 'hops' hanging above the bar. More importantly though, the service was excellent! Our waiter must be like the Christoph Waltz of Utah because he was very talkative and charismatic with his German accent. He was also trying to be as helpful and informative as possible about the food and beer. Definitely knew his stuff! I've only been here twice but both times were great. I absolutely love German fare since I grew up eating it so I supposed you could say I'm a bit biased. It's also nice that they offer that along with a pretty wide variety of other eats like pizzas, burgers and what not. Can't wait to come back to this place next time I'm in Salt Lake though!
(4)Jenny C.
Visited while on a work trip and saw the good reviews. The menu looked great- German and Polish food. I ended up getting the chicken with brandy sauce which wAs very good. I had the darkest beer they had, it was good. The bartender was very nice and I liked the atmosphere- like being in log cabin. I would go back next time in town.
(4)Mark M.
Went here for an event recently, and will NOT be going back. From the moment we walked in, the hostess, the server standing there flirting with her, and some older woman who showed us to the patio, all acted like we were honored to be let in to such an establishment. There were about 60 of us in a party, and we were treated rudely, and have no intention to come back. The food was good, but not as good as they think, once you look at the prices. An order of nachos with chicken with a single beer was $29. Plenty of other places that are better, for less.
(2)Jerry K.
Outstanding and authentic Bavarian food and house brewed beer...my favorites are the pork schnitzel and the Garlic Burger (could be one of the top burgers in the world) Their Oktoberfest is seasonal...DO NOT MISS IT. Proust.
(5)Lauren M.
Great view outside! The menu was extensive and we loved the beer.
(4)Brittany R.
My favorite place to eat out! Take that as you will. My boyfriend first took me here for my birthday and now it is our most frequented restaurant on our nights out. We are never disappointed. Our bills is usually around $60 or 70 (including tip) for a full meal for two adults along with beers for refreshment. A good price and well worth the money. The beers and menu items are beyond amazing. Rest assured, it will undoubtedly be a visit with consistent mouthgasms while you was there. Friendly and attentive wait staff as well.
(5)Lindee H.
Amazing atmosphere, excellent food, great service and wonderful Beer. What more can you ask for.
(5)Charles S.
Time for an update? Yah, probably. This visit was another wonderful one. The patio was delightful. The service was spot on! We got our food quickly and our water glasses were always full... and our own wine bottle ($10 corkage) was openend almost immediately upon our arrival. Since it was "Yelp Eats" time, we ate waaaayyyy toooo much!! Holy Smokes! I had the wings and Lisa got the garlic bulb as our apps. The bbq wings were really good. They were prepared very well and doused in a really good, tangy, not too sweet, bbq sauce. I prefer mine spicy Buffalo style, but I still ate them all. Lisa really liked the garlic thingy, but I thought it was sort of bland. The entrees: chicken wrap for Lisa and goulash for me. YUMM!!! Loved them both! And, since we were full from the appies, we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Lisa swore she didn't like crepes, but I (with some help from our waiter) assured her that she must have never had GOOD crepes. We got 1 choco-hazelnut and 1 raspberry. Delicious! And Lisa now LOVES crepes! These guys are good!!
(4)Sarah G.
The Bohemian is one of my favorite local restaurants that I frequent. They make a great reuben sandwich and the garlic fries are always tasty. The wait can be long on the weekends, even if you make a reservation and the last time I ate there the server spilled warm cream sauce on my jacket and ignored our table for most of the rest of the evening. I usually stick to take out- 4 stars though just based on the food quality.
(4)keating p.
Went here on a slow night after a week camping in Moab. The beers (although only 4% alcohol) were the best micros I tasted in Utah. The sandwich plates came with garlic fries for only 9 bucks and were dinner sized and delicious. Nice atmosphere, nice people, I'd highly recommend this spot over a chain restaurant. Try the nachos and the grilled chicken sandwich.
(5)Vincent B.
Finally, after more than ten years I was able to try this restaurant! Sorry I did not do it sooner. We had a large group - 6 adults and 6 kids - and contrary to Yelp's quick information, this restaurant is fine for kids - kids menu and kid friendly! Menu not only included all standard pub fare (from fish and chips to burgers and sandwiches), but some great German and European specialties: schnitzel, gulash, sauerkraut, etc. Desserts were also good (especially the strudel) and the fresh smoothies for kids. We had lunch, and at the end of the day had a light dinner because lunch was so filling and good.
(5)Dave D.
After a hard day of boarding I was craving some grub. I didn't realize that the beers are water an beer which would explain why I had so many! The food was great and the staff was friendly.
(4)Matt V.
The food was pretty good. I enjoyed my chicken but generally tasteless. The beers all tasted the same. This was my first experience with Utah beer. We went to Squatters later in the week and the beer was far superior. The waitstaff was okay, she seemed to let us linger when we ordered a pitcher of beer.
(3)Pete M.
Lured by the prospect of good pierogi, my girlfriend and I fell right into this tourist trap of a restaurant. We left, $59 dollars lighter, filled with regret and mediocre food. Our server was friendly but inept. We asked to substitute something for a Bratwurst side on the pierogi but they messed it up. We ended up with a breaded chicken (without the peirogi), for which they charged $17! Horrible. I ordered the Reuben and got a BLT. Vegetables seemed cooked from a can. The beer was good but not good enough to redeem to redeem the food. This was one of the rare cases where we considered leaving no tip. We did, though, and just put the experience behind us. In short, the ambiance was a nice change but the service poor, and the overpriced food even worse. Leave this place to the foreign exchange students and settle for a box of frozen Ms. T's.
(1)Carolyn B.
We had dinner here twice during our vacation and really enjoyed it. We tried the sampler to help us figure out what beer we wanted, for 50 cents a glass it was worth it. The Viennese was fabulous. The food was good. Quite a variety, everything from burgers to brats. The pierogi, sauerkraut and brat plate was hearty and delicious. The burgers were good and the haddock did not disappoint. We ate at the bar and found the bartender to be friendly and attentive. The last time we were here was 5 years ago. We were happy to see at the restaurant was still here and thriving.
(4)Andrew F.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Salt Lake based solely on their excellent goulash.
(4)todd s.
Great beer. Great food. Good prices.
(5)Linda T.
Great food and good portions for the price. I totally recommend getting the beer sampler if you have a large group of people. It's 50 cents for a pretty big shot glass, sharable between 2-6 people. For appetizers, I recommend the garlic fries and the cauli-cakes (cauliflower cakes). We went before dinner time so service wasn't that great. They didn't come with water until maybe 5-10 minutes after we were seated.
(5)Chris L.
Best brunch in and around SLC! The bratwurst gravy can go on anything. I'd pay for a 5 gallon bucket of it just to have it at home to put on everything. Outstanding schnitzel. I lived in Germany while in the army, and miss German food. This place fills the void quite well! I suggest this place for Sunday brunch.
(5)Michael M.
I had the seasonal beer (Zoigl) and it was delicious. For dinner I had the Goulash and it was tasty, a bit more fat than I would prefer (I would have trimmed this off if I was cooking it). The music was a great selection of blues. Overall a great experience. And I would go back. Really? You guys charge 50 cents for a sample of beer???
(4)paula m.
Great food (pierogis and reuben), beer (banana-essence Hefe) and service...I will be back when I visit SLC again!
(5)Nicole B.
Mmmmm...oh how I love to go BoHo! Last night was my third visit to Bohemian Brewery, and service and food have been consistent every time. I always get the garlic fries, which come in a giant basket with dipping sauce (when ordered as an appetizer). I have had the garlic burger, and it's mighty tasty...and fragrant. Don't eat this if you plan to impress anyone with your scent for the next 12 hours. It's rich and meaty and one of the best garlic burgers I've ever tasted. I like their pork schnitzel, beef goulash, and pierogies and bratwurst. I'm not an alchy, but my brother swears by the Bohemian Brews. He gets the biggest glass he can get when he dines in, and often brings the house brews home in cans. I've yet to try the desserts at BB because I always am stuffed American by the time I finish my meal. I hear good things about the bread pudding, however. I live a few blocks away, so I know I'll be coming back for more soon.
(4)Ryan C.
I've been to Bohemian several times, but the most recent visit was for Yelp Eats. In the past, the chicken paprikash has been a favorite. Deep, spiced flavor with some nicely cooked chicken and some butter-drenched spaetzle as a side. It is as delicious as it sounds. I'll go back to Bohemian sometime to try it again. The last visit, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I tried: - roasted garlic appetizer - goulash - fruit dumplings - chocolate hazelnut crepes Yes, that's two desserts. Yes, I was alone. Yes, I felt like a bit of a pig afterward. The roasted garlic appetizer was the standout of the meal. Such a simple idea: two entire bulbs of garlic, roasted in oil, and served with toast points that seemed to each take up half a loaf of bread they were so large and a small bowl of bruschetta. Clean, fresh tastes with garlic at the forefront. Solid A. The goulash felt a tad cheap. Some rather tough cubes of beef swimming in a vat of heavy, paprika-drenched gravy so large I could have done the backstroke in it. No real nuance here, just paprika and a real dearth of protein. Dessert wasn't much better. The dumplings were airy but filled with what appeared to be canned apple pie filling. The crepes themselves were good, though very small. I don't wish to cast aspersions on a business that welcomed Yelpers to taste their wares for half price, but it seems that my experience with Yelp Eats this year seemed to fall into two categories: places like Wild Grape that killed the fatted calf and put their best items on display, and places like Bohemian who offered the cheapest items possible. I get that there is a business at work here, but the second strategy seems ill-conceived. That being said, go there and try the chicken paprikash. You'll have had a much better meal than my last one.
(3)Jonathan M.
For a restaurant that specialized in this cuisine I was surprised at the lack of flavor. The first time I dined here, I heard good things about the meatloaf, so I was shocked when mine was flavorless, as if someone forgot to season it. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were also blah. I have dined here twice and think there is a consistency problem. The first time I shared a brew masters basket (a bunch of fried food); it was very good and the halibut was delicious. However, I returned a second time because the basket was so good, but it was greasy and poorly fried. The reuben sandwich had thin soggy bread and a surprisingly small amount of pastrami and sauerkraut. Given the theme of the restaurant, a poor reuben is unacceptable. As for the beer, I could take it or leave it.
(2)D. W.
They very clearly have spent a lot of money on the interior of this place and that part is quite enjoyable. Service also tends to be very good and the beer is also pretty solid. However, the food is kind of...I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's not bad or anything, but neither is it good. I went in really wanting to like this place, which definitely seems to have a sort of Slavic theme to it, but that type of food has historically been somewhat lost on me. I suppose that could be the real problem here; I can't quite tell if what they're doing is authentic or not, though I'm guessing it's at least close. It just doesn't ring any bells with my palate and wound up being somewhat forgettable overall. I wouldn't mind trying this place out again, but I wouldn't seek it out, either. If anything, this to me, is the very definition of a 3 star experience overall.
(3)Jen J.
Atmosphere is great. I always give establishments the benefit of the doubt, however, I have to comment on my experience at the Bohemian tonight. Staff was nice and we got seated quickly. We ordered the wings which were amazing. Served in the right amount of time. I ordered the ahi tuna salad. I normally order that anywhere I go, but this time it was foul. The instant I had it in my mouth it was overpoweringly fishy and metallic at the same time. Ahi has almost a filet mignon consistency and flavor to it, but this time that was not the case. I ordered the steak salad instead which was fabulous however I was quite surprised that I was charged for it. In the same time I'm waiting for my salad another server dropped a plate of marinara infused mushroom which spotted my tan pants. The server did not ask anyone in the vicinity if they were ok and proceed to hurriedly clean up the plate and walk away. I hate complaining! But this time I just was disappointed that A. I wasn't asked if my pants were ruined and B. I wasn't compensated in any way shape or form for having to endure a rotten bite of fish! Other than that, will I return? Possibly, but I will never order fish from here again.
(3)Monica K.
Went to here last night for the third time and I like it every time. The good is very good (especially the garlic burger or the shrimp scampi) and the beer is excellent. I am not a huge fan of very dark beers but I really liked theirs. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is that the service can be really slow.
(4)Erik M.
We eat here whenever we remember the place is here. Seriously, we were trying to eat at any restaurant at Fashion Place Mall but couldn't find parking. (No, it wasn't Black Friday) so I remembered the Bohemian Brewery. The food is awesome! This time I had the Chicken Paprikash. Tasted just like mom used to make (I grew up in a German household). If you are looking for truly authentic, there are better places, but their take on German food is excellent. But that wasn't the best part. We were mezmerized by our waiter. Never had we experience such service! It was like he was clairvoiant. He would show up with items before we had a chance to ask for them! He was speedy, knowledgeable, efficient, accurate, thoughtful, and German. Yes, we got to speak a little of the mother tongue. He actually started it when he realized I was ordering German food items without an American accent. His name is Fred and I suggest you ask for him. Truly spectacular service.

This was this site of the highly successful and entertaining Bros who Brunch: Part Deux. Despite being highly recommended, I still hadn't been here till our Yelp event. Its a huge restaurant and has a very log cabin feel about it, right down to the nice rock fireplace in the middle. It seems that they brew their own beer and there was a guy pruning some sort of parking lot vineyard they have. Does this mean they have exhaust flavored red wine too? Maybe I'll figure that out on the next visit. I was there for their Saturday/Sunday brunch. It was 11am and the place was mostly empty. It is in the suburbs and I find that people with life partners and child(rens) often don't brunch it up much. So this could be the best kept secret in brunching in the SL Valley. The brunch menu is limited to a handful of dishes. Between most everyone at the table, I was able to see the majority of the brunch menu dishes. The presentation and portions were outstanding. I personally had the Eggs Florentine. It was served with diced potatoes and fruit. The dish was thoughtfully put together with fresh spinach and a very rich hollandaise sauce. One area that is often left behind are the potatoes. They were diced with peppers and they actually had taste to them which is something void from most breakfast potatoes. I need to try some of the brews they make on site. I was a little modest with that brunch outing. The waitress was unaware of the proper way to make a "beermosa" but she seemed to learn fast. I'm looking forward to going back to try the delicious looking french toast. I'm also looking forward to drinking some of the locally made beer and maybe something from their parking lot vineyard if there is such a smoky exhausty wine.
(4)Monica T.
I finally made it over to the Bohemian for the first time in quite awhile. I suppose I should get down to "Southern Utah" more often because there are quite a few good restaurants, this being one of them. On this particular occasion, I went with the verona sandwich. I recognize that this is kind of a summery dish and it *was* snowing outside, but it worked for me! The prosciutto and mozzarella were super fresh and tasty, and I was a huge fan of the garlic fries. I dined here in the company of a large group, and everyone else seemed very pleased with their various entrees. Unfortunately, I'm not a beer fan, so I didn't sample any. They did have a nice wine list for a brewpub, though. Most everyone else in the group had beer, and seemed universally pleased with their selections. Service was good, though occasionally slow. Prices seemed a bit high, but it's all good. This place is a good one to go to for a nice change of pace.
(4)Annie S.
My boyfriend and I really enjoy this place for date night. We always sit at the bar and have Mel serve us if she is there. They have a good selection of beer and other drinks. The plates are hearty and we can often get away with sharing something. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the seasonal brews and regular brews on tap. Everything on the menu seems to be made fresh and made to order. It is delicious everytime we go.
(5)Olyssa K.
They have the best food. Their steak salad is the best! I definitely recommend coming here for food and drinks. Service is great too!
(5)Ricky M.
I came to SLC thinking this place was going to suck.. Well first night I dropped by Bohemian Brewery and was pretty impressed. Food was awesome I Had there Chicken Pesto Pizza along with there Heffeweisen beer and was impressed. There beer was decent but I am not used to the laws of Utah that do not allow strong imperial beers which I would of loved to have especially being at a brewery.
(4)Darci R.
I love this place! Great service and food! The spatzle is so yummy and the chicken paprekash is divine! Mmmmmm!!!!!
(5)David B.

This place isn't bad at all. The inside looks like a cabin. There's nothing wrong with cabins. I honestly wish I brought my snuggie so I could have cozied up by the fire and ate my perogies and bratwurst while watching re-runs of Friends. I would have said Mad About You but even I can't play THAT effeminately. We came here after stopping by Buffalo Wild Wings and there was a 90 minute wait. This joint is literally 5 minutes away from there and is much more my pace. They have Bohemian Micro brews for you beer connoisseurs, as well as a full bar. My friends got two different burgers and were very pleased with them. Neither were able to finish their meals as the dishes were very large. Our waitress was very kind and attentive and it was also a quiet experience, which I personally enjoy for brunch on a Saturday morning. I believe I'll be bringing other friends back to visit this joint. Prices were average for an above average experience.

My wife and I just tried this place for the first time on date night. I was really impressed with the quality and unique food options. The service was great too. We will be going back here!

If you're a fan of German cuisine and microbrew, then Bohemian is the place to go. It provides a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place for kids as well. My favorites on the menu are: Pirogies and Brats, Garlic Fries, Onion Rings, and Potato Pancakes.

Me and my Mom and Grandparents went here the other day for lunch. The ambiance inside the restaurant is really cute. The food was great. I love their German food, I had brats with mashed potatoes and saurkraut. Very yummy! The beer was also quite delicious. The bread they serve on the table is divine. This is definitely a fun place to go.
(4)Julie K.
Four stars cause I like their beer. Three for their food. The Pirogies and Sausages were worth the ranting and raving seen elsewhere on this forum. For those who avoid meat they have some decent pizzas that can be modified to fit your tastes. But really its about the beer. Try the Cherney Bock.
(4)Halli H.
I was really impressed the moment I walked in the door. The host was a charming man and the atmosphere is like an Alaskan lodge. The food was excellent - way better than you would expect at a brewery.
(4)Michele K.
I came here on the recommendation of the hotel I was staying at on a recent business trip. It was late when I got here, so the restaurant was uncrowded and the bar seemed to be where all the action was. My server and the other crew were friendly, although they seemed a little preoccupied with possibly closing up for the night. I tried a house salad, which was delicious with the house dressing, and the salmon, which was outstanding. It was moist and flavorful and the glaze was the true topper. The staff had no problem giving me all steamed veggies with my meal instead of a potato or rice. The portion was huge and hit the spot for me, a hungry traveler who had not eaten all day. A great find! Wish I would have tried the beer, but I was in the mood for a cocktail instead, and it also hit the spot.
(4)Shaun R.
Damn good food - Beer aint that bad either -)
(5)Greg D.
How have I not heard of this place? I really don't understand why I didn't make it here sooner. The Bohemian Brewery made my night with their delicious food. My party tried some garlic fries and they were great, so I decided to go all in with the garlic burger that did not disappoint. My wife had one of the pizzas and I was very impressed, they are pretty big for an individual serving. Drinking a giant beer inside this cabin like setting had me feeling like a real man, if for only an hour.
(4)Laura G.
The food is okay - nothing spectacular - but the service has been horrid every time. We're talking apathetic, unhelpful servers who have a tendency to disappear for up to 20-30 minutes at a time. On one of my visits, my friends and I were literally the only table in the restaurant, so I'm not really sure what was so difficult about merely checking in. The Bohemian isn't the worst dining experience I've ever had, but man. I've been there a few times now, and I keep thinking it will get better next time. I'm sad to say there most likely won't be a next time, though.
(2)Tammy S.
Another delicious meal! Oh, and can't forget the beer!!!
(5)J B.
The food was ok. Not particularly bad - not particularly memorable. I really want to give a brewery in Mormon-town more stars. They have a habit of ruining beer here by selling it in a version that is only 3% alcohol and tastes funny. I have to give them credit: Their beer was good.... and that was the most important part of my visit. 3.5 STARS.
(3)Vida A.
Starts from the frenzy of the crazy parking lot that we ended up parking in a dirt parking lot. Then inside we waited for another 20 minutes, waaaay overcrowded. With all the people you would think the food is amazing. I honestly heard about this horseradish that of course had run out. We ordered the brats and some other stuff people raved about but nothing worth craving over in the future and way too overpriced. I really dont get the draw here.Did i miss something? oh and yes. i had the beer, meh.
(2)Valencia W.
Ahm, the food is decent and the service was decent. I wasn't raging over this place but then I had the garlic fries which I can say that they were pretty awesome. I was starving and the food filled that void. The pizza's that I saw looked like they had some heart and soul poured into them so maybe if I go there again I'll try that. 3 stars.
(3)Karen S.
Yelp Eats finally brought me here, though I've driven by and wondered about it a plethora of times. The servings were gigantic. I got the garlic fries and the goulash and ending up taking most of it home because I was so full. The fries were fantatic! Who cares if I tasted them clear until mid the next day. Worth it. The goulash had just a hint of the hot spice, which was perfect for me. Not having had real goulash before I wasn't really sure what to expect. It was definitely meat heavy. I guess I thought there'd be more vegetables in it. But it was very tasty. Thankfully I didn't order a dessert because I got to taste one of everything from everyone elses plates and they were ALL good. The atmosphere and decor were fun and they let us stay and talk as long as we wanted. Our server even came out and checked on us way after his shift was over. I guess we were there for a while! Service was great. All in all, a good place for a manly meal. I can do that sometimes too.
(4)Brandon C.
Really hate to re-review this place, since it's just a few blocks away from where I live and they have great beer. But I had one of the worst dining experiences ever on my last visit, on a quiet Sunday morning. In short: -Floating gnats in my water. Several gnats -No apology for the gnats -20 minutes for a replacement water -Half of my table's food came out 10 minutes before the other half -My food was cold, as was other folks' at the table -After asking the server for ketchup, Tabasco, etc, they didn't make their way to our table for 15 minutes -We asked our checks to be separated, and they were. Just with all the items jumbled. I had my main dish on mine, but someone else's drink and yet another person's appetizer. All of the bills were like this. Their prices have been on a steady climb the last couple years, so I can't justify going here with that level of service.
(1)Elizabeth F.
LOTS OF FOOD! I have been here twice. Each time I forget. LARGE PORTIONS! Well maybe its a normal portion size with SUPER HEAVY FOOD! The beer is good. No really! I know that Utah is known for their....shall we say strict alcohol laws. I can tell you as a beer lover the taste is still there! I have also had mixed drinks here and the ones that list a lot of different liquors are much stronger than expected. Let's get back to the food. I love it. Basic German grub. Don't expect to be wow'ed....BUT if spatzle is your comfort food, this is a great place for you. The brewhouse is not set up like and American bar (though they do have a bar). It is set up more like a German food/brew house. Tables are really close to each other so DON'T EXPECT PRIVACY!!
(4)Chris J.
Hands down my favorite Brewery/Pub/Restaurant in Utah. For truly Bohemian food that was made to be enjoyed with only the best beer, the Bohemian is the only place to go in Utah. Personally can suggest the Pierogies & Brats, and the Goulash. My favorite beer is a seasonal unfiltered Pilsner which as good as anything you would find in Prague.
(5)Thomas W.
In town to ski. Found this joint on Yelp. Great micro brew. Friendly service. Recommend the wings and Schnitzel!
(4)Kara D.
Fred is the reason we will never eat here again. He was incredibly sexist towards me. He spoke exclusively to my husband and barely acknowledged my existence. When we left, he said, "thank you sir!" like my husband was the only one that paid the bill (we split it like we usually do). Fred is a sexist pig and does not belong in the restaurant business, especially not in the front end with customers who may be female! The beer was disgusting. I have never seen my husband leave a half empty beer on the table. That is saying a lot! The food was Bohemian's only redeeming quality. It was delicious! Garlic fries were pretty tasty! A bit overpriced though...
(1)Chris H.
While out with Bros who Brunch we went to Bohemian Brewery. Not too many people know this but they have a great brunch. I had the french toast. This meal came with fruit, french toast that had blueberries in between the slices of toast making every bite heaven in my mouth. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a brunch place. Some of the other guys I was with had the egg Florentine.This looked very tasty and they were some of the first to finish. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The service was great as well. I don't know if it was because it was all dudes and she was working for a better tip ;) or if the staff is really that genuine.
(4)David M.
Haven't been here in years and thought I'd give it another try. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer but, from what I've been told, they are good tasting with a variety of flavors. I ordered the Potato Pancakes and the Pierogie's and Bratwurst. The pancakes were good, but just a bit tough. Not sure why. The pierogie's and brats were good, but didn't knock my socks off. The sauerkraut was a bit over-cooked for my taste, liking it with a bit more crunch. Bottom line....if you love a good selection of beer and want some german/bohemian meals, this is a great place. If you are looking for "to die for" german food, you might want to look elsewhere.
(3)Emmett M.
Great beer, food good. If you like dark lagers, cherny bock is great.
(4)Todd D.
The Bohemian is one of those places where the waiter will usually have to return to your table 2 or 3 times before your able to decide what you want to order. There are a lot of different options on the menu and I find it difficult to decide what I'm going to get every time I come here. In the meantime I started off by sampling a few different brews in order to find a favorite that I will get in a viking size stein. Every beer they serve on tap is made on location and every one I've tried so far has been as good as if not the best that Utah has to offer. For the meal I went with the salmon salad. At first I thought it might be a little over priced at $15 but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived due to the generous sized salmon steak. It was a delicious and filling salad and tasted as fresh as could be expected. My only critique would be that the salmon was pretty overcooked. Charred on the bottom and thoroughly grilled throughout. In their defense though I didn't specify how I would have wanted it prepared. I like my salmon medium rare with an emphasis on the rare, if I had requested it that way it probably would have been perfect. Props to the Bohemian for another good meal and great experience, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the pork schnitzel.
(4)J S.
I have been here twice. Both times the food was awesome, the beer was phenomenal, and the service was horrid. The first time the waiter was in a hurry to close down for the night. He dropped our order off and then we never saw him again. The next time we stopped in and the waiter acted put out that we were there. Both times we complained to the manager about how poor the service was. I think this place would be five stars if they could get service down.
(2)Johnny A.
Good beer, good food. More of date type place than a brewery though.
(3)Robin P.
We really wanted to like this place. Close to home, brewing their own beer... But after a number of visits over 6 months, we've come to the conclusion that the service sucks, the food is salty and the beer is the best thing going. If you're there on a good night, you'll get decent service. If it's an off night, get ready to walk out before your food ever arrives. The beers are good, but you can get better elsewhere.
(2)Aimee C.
I've been here a zillion times and I always like it a lot. The service is always good, the food is always good, and the beer is always good. I would say the biggest reason I'm not here more often is the fact that they have a pretty severe lack of vegetarian options (I personally don't blame them because I happen to like meat) so it's hard to go there very often when my other half doesn't partake. Most of the time I have been here with large groups, and they are always happy to accommodate, happy to split the check, and handle the groups like champs.
(4)Becky B.
Great go-to for locals and those in the southland. Their house salad with a grilled chicken breast is amazing.

If it were to be judged solely on the service, then Bohemian Brewery & Grill would earn a "Two Thumbs Up" and a Gold Star, too. Add food to the equation, and I doubt the score would change. Within seconds of walking into the Bohemian for the first time, I was greeted with a smile, taken to a seat, and informed, quite pleasantly, that nothing I ate today had been bottled, canned or packaged. It was all fresh. "The only way you get better German food," he said, "is if you buy a plane ticket." Presumably, that ticket would need to land in Berlin. After eating, I had to agree. The food was great. I ordered a brat sandwich with a side of potato pancakes (no, don't ask me how potato pancakes qualify as a "side dish." I shared them, effectively halving my calorie intake for the meal to about the average for three normal people...and I am normal people). The sandwich was a sliced brat drowning in swiss cheese and sweet tasting sauerkraut on parmesan bread. It was a delicious combination and a cornucopia of flavor. I've eaten a few brats in my day. This one had more than a hint of fennel and when the contrast of the slightly salty parmesan bread was added to the equation, made for a delicious, if messy, meal. Accompanying the sandwich were garlic fries. When I say "garlic," I mean that the fries were literally flavored with fresh garlic. It was delicious, only adding to the palate of diverse flavors coming out of this meal. The only complaint I have was that as good as the fries were on the outset, and as hot as they were, as time passed they became soggy. Not too unexpected, but still, there it is. The potato pancakes were passably good. Crisp and fried on the outside and just thick enough to leave a soft mushy texture on the inside. I'll let you do the math on the calorie content of the meal. Regardless, it was enjoyable, and worthy of at least skipping a couple meals to compensate. Service: 9/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 (because the t.v.s were large and everywhere...distracting) Food: 7/10 Parking: 7/10 Eat-ability Quotient (an average of scores): 7.5/10

Nice vibe when you first enter the building...you feel like you are walking into a log cabin/ski lodge. The service is fairly friendly. However, for a brewery, you only have a choice of a scant four beers. The pilsner was pale and light, but more bitter than I like. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as advertised. The beer-battered onion rings were some of the worst things I have ever willingly put into my mouth. Though they were piping hot, they were oddly very hard and chewy (I could not even cut through them with my knife)...I suspect they were reheated. The bratwurst sandwich was strangely accompanied by lettuce and tomato, and we were given Heinz yellow mustard when we requested deli mustard! The garlic fries were of the standard battered frozen variety and were inoffensive. The chicken paprikash, rather than being juicy chunks of chicken stewed in a rich sour cream sauce perfumed by sweet and spicy paprika, was presented as a chicken cutlet paired with a strange, orange sauce devoid of any flavor. The spaetzle were ok, but rather heavier and more leaden than their competition at Vienna Bistro. One note...parking is tight in their lot...at peak times, you will have to drive over the curb and park in the adjacent sandlot.
(2)Nicolas V.
I am not a big fan of their beer. I sampled them - They sell them in shot glasses portions which is a pretty good idea - but did not love any of them. I settle for the wheat beer but that wasn't great. The food was good though. The wings were nice, so were the fries.

Ate dinner here on a one night stay in the city, we shared the Buffalo burger and the soup of the day. Of course a few cocktails and brews. The soup a spicy corn chowder was great, one of the best I ever had. The buffalo burger was also exceptional. It was cooked perfectly with bacon and blue cheese to top it off. We also had the garlic fries which were the best i've ever had. I would give those 6 stars alone. I had a martini which was just ok and a couple glasses of wine. Hubby tried several of the micro brews, said they were good but could have been colder. The decor is very woodsy with antlers all over the place, what you would expect in this part of the country. It appeared to be filled with local as midvale isn't much of a tourist town. The service was great and all the staff were very friendly. Took some pic and i'll up load them later Maybe!

Great waiters good food.
(4)Cliff B.
This place is top notch for authentic German food. Hands down. Ambience feels old world. Waitstaff is friendly and even had a German accent, even though I doubt all the employees do. I had the perogies with sausage and sauerkraut. That is possibly to die for, or maybe having a pinky lopped off. My wife had the schnitzel (pork) with potatoes and she said it was the closest she has had since her youth. (She spent several years in Germany as a youngin.) Oh yeah also did I mention they are a microbrewery? And that you can purchase their beer for consumption at home? They have four different types, two of which we had and they were good. Definitely coming back here if we are in the area.
(4)Justin L.
Excellent parogies and brats! A little pricey for lunch, but nice atmosphere for friends or business.
(4)Kate S.
Was not impressed. The beer was unmemorable, as was the food. We ordered the blackberry brandy chicken and the steak with fried mushrooms and zucchini; the best thing we had was the zucchini. It's not bad food at all, but it's far from great.
(2)Mary D.
Have been here twice in 4 days. Great food, service and beer. Love the pub steak, spaetzle and schnitzel. Highly recommend this for post ski day indulgence! Friday or Saturdays are busiest so call ahead if have a large group.
(5)Claire P.
We were pleasantly surprised at how good this brew pub is. Had the salmon salad, which was very good. Good portion and the same was cooked beautifully. My boyfriend had the pierogies and bratwurst and loved his meal, especially the mustard! We took home a growler because the beer was delicious. Excellent service by Alex. Highly recommend. We'll be going back. Lots of TVs for viewing your favorite sports.

Ahh the Garlic Burger... It's the gift that keeps on giving! Been here a few times, and I have yet to try the house brewskies! Will have to do that someday! But I have a favorite menu item here at Bohemian, and that is the Garlic Burger! This is a 1/2 lb, cooked to order, fresh onion bunned, cheddar cheese melted, and bacon topped burger that is quite possibly one of the best garlic burgers I have ever had! The "Gift": Now let me warn you... this burger comes with side effects. You will burp this bad boy for a few hours! (for me over 8 hours). So if you need an excuse to get away from your woman, because the stench coming from your pours and mouth is... well... tasty all over again (for both of you... ewwe OK I'll stop now), you have found your burger! But if you like your mate, shall I suggest you both get one so you can offend each other equally! Why not a 5 star? The desert! First time with desert here, and I had the Chocolate Lava cake. There was nothing lava about it, or luke lava (hey that is a fun name... Luke Lava!!!) (whoops, side tracked again, back to the story). When I hear Lava Cake, I think warm cake with a gooey hot chocolate sauce with maybe a dollop of vanilla ice cream. NOPE, this was cold, and the texture was more like mousse. Was not a fan... but I ate it anyway. (It was my birthday desert after all). Others at the table had crepes that looked much more delicious. But seriously... everything I have had to eat here is pretty good. They even have calamari... (like I would eat that)... but others really dug it! Prices are average for this type of joint... the decor inside is warm and inviting, and the staff is very nice and attentive to my constantly empty glass of diet soda! (damn, think what my bill would be like if they filled me up on beer at the rate I drink soda!) Will I be back? Heck yeah! And one of these days I am going to try the Bohemian Brew! Until next time I eat... Doc
(4)Michael M.
Wow... great atmosphere in a sleepy part of town. Great beer choices and quality and unique international food in a neighbor hood of fast-food joints.
(4)Nick J.
Their beers are brewed by German purity standards, the food is delicious and a real value for the portions and quality. I just love everything at Bohemian. No matter what anyone believes, this is the best garlic burger in the state. Great variety of German dishes, pub food, and pizzas. I've brought in parties from 2-40 and had great service no matter how many they were serving.
(5)Dayna D.
The staff here are super friendly! This place loves it's garlic, which is a huge bonus for me! The food is alright...not the best, not the worst, but does the trick for standard brew pub food.

Whenever we're in the area, we try to stop here for lunch/dinner. The place has great food, good service, easy parking, and a fun atmosphere.

The food was great and the service was amazing! Ask for Fred... He's the reason I will be coming back! He was friendly and gave great recommendations on food.

This is a special travel edition from my personal archives food blog... The Bohemian Brewery & grill is my new favorite place, period. Set about half way between the Davenport estate and downtown, this little slice of European heaven sits with both indoor and outdoor seating amidst a Bavarian style lodge. Upon entering, I could not help but spy on the tables of all the happy patrons, and instantly I could understand the reasons behind all the smiles. The dining room was large, flanked by a huge fireplace to help set the ambiance a little bit. The menu was a cross section of eastern Europe and I had my passport in hand, ready to explore the world. We started with the home made Pierogies,and roasted garlic with toast (I am not sure how European the garlic was, but it was delicious) For dinner I had the Hungarian Beef Goulash with Czechoslovakian bread dumplings and red cabbage. Now please indulge me as I take a minute to reflect on this amazing but simple dish. Large chunks of beef slow simmered in a deep, rich gravy-like sauce that just yearned for the dumplings to be dipped in. You could have left out all the meat as far as I was concerned, the sauce was that amazing. The dumplings were very soft a pillowy, kind of like an under-cooked loaf of french bread. The red cabbage was nice with some shots of caraway for flavor. All in all an amazing dish, so much so that I payed little attention to what the Davenports had going on, even though their entrees were just as amazing. A.J went with the Chicken Paprikash. and Carol, a nice Salmon dish which I did not get a picture of regrettably. Lucky for me, I had just enough room for a little taste of what is one of the best bread puddings I have ever tasted

As anyone, I am a sucker for a good sausage. Unfortunately, there are precious few (if only maybe 2 or 3) restaurants in Utah that serve German food. Seigfrieds is great, but it is in the heart of down town and thus a little more effort to get to. It is effort worth putting forth, but effort nonetheless. Fret not though! For you also have an option in the Bohemian Brewery. One of the obvious advantages they have over Seigs is their vast assortment of beers and brews. If you like sausages, and you like to drink a beer the size of small swimming pool, then this is the place for you. However, I wouldn't limit myself to just sausage, for they have many other tasty menu items to sample. Garlic Fries - Yes Meatloaf - Yes Roasted Garlic Cloves - YES Pork Shank - Yes There is a lot to say yes to here. They also offer indoor and outdoor seating, the only thing they are missing is the view. I wish I could take these guys and drop them squarely upon a mountain top....and maybe you would have to take a Gondola to get to it...and maybe there is one of those super jowly dogs with the barrel around its neck that greats you at the door....Yeah...Yeah...
(4)Kevin S.
It's rare to find a place that has good german food,.. It's rare for a Proud Texan to find a restaurant in Utah that he thinks would shine in Texas,.. It's extremely rare for me to go eat at the same restaurant multiple times in the same week,... The Bohemian rocks! I love the schnitzel,.. Pork schnitzel but I sub the mashed potatoes for the spaetzle. They have the best spaetzle I've ever had and the gravy they serve with the schnitzel is so good I have to request extra every time. I look forward to coming next week in hopes of trying their rouladen which is one of my favorite things which is also sad because it's hard to find a restaurant willing to put it on the menu. Anyway,.. Great place! Good food! I'm glad I finally tried it!
(5)Emily S.
This place has been on my top list for some time now for lunch and dinner but this past Sunday I tried their brunch. They have brunch every Sunday and Monday until 3. The regular menu is also offered with the beer, wine, and brunch menus. I ordered the eggs florentine. This was quite tasty with fresh spinach perfectly poached eggs covered in a really good hollandaise sauce. It was served with country potatoes and fruit. Now I don't like melon of any kind but they looked fresh and yummy. I would totally order this again. My husband got the special that day which was a breakfast burger. I took and tasted fantastic with a fried egg on top. We also really wanted to try the french toast so we ordered a side of that. it came out crispy as the description promised and in the middle was a subtle blend of cream cheese and black berries. I also had a mimosa and boy did this make for the perfect brunch!
(5)Charlotte S.
Lovely. Love the interior, very European lodge. Moderate, but tasty beer selection. I tried the Noble Hefeweizen. Our bartender recommended we try the Brewmasters Basket as an appetizer. Crispy calamari, fries, toast, and garlic. The portions were generous and tasty. Our Bartender was great, very nice. The only thing I can criticize was the hostess (she was rude), but her attitude wasn't enough to change my overall perception of this brewery. We will come back, and bring our friends, too.
(5)Joshua S.
Ordered the pierogis and bratwurst, with a side of red cabbage (rot kraut) again. For some reason, my favorite part of the meal, this time, was the bratwurst and sauerkraut. The sauerkraut had this subtle sweetness that I really enjoyed. The rot kraut wasn't all that tasty this time. A bit on the dry side, and too firm in texture for me. The pierogis were tasty with the dill sour cream and bacon bits on top. Only thing that would take these pierogis to the next level be onions sautéed in a vat of butter (Refer to my review of Sokolowski's University Inn). This was a take away order, so I was very grateful to the hostess for including Bohemian's signature bread and tapenade, which I loved. Great service, good food.

i love this place and find that it's always a pleasant experience when dining here. for my most recent visit here we were celebrating my dad's birthday. our server was kayla and she was the sweetest ever. seriously an exceptional server and i hope she's there again next time i go. my dad had a difficult time deciding which beer he wanted and she was so patient. she gave some recommendations and he ended up ordering some samples before deciding. she made sure our water glasses were always filled and as soon as one drink was finished would come back to see if there was anything else we wanted. she was also on top of things with food allergies and definitely cares about her customers. they do have a dedicated gluten free menu with quite a few choices. my mom got the salmon salad, i got the garlic burger gluten free, and my dad and thomas n. got the regular garlic burger. i didn't try my mom's food, but she really enjoyed her salad. my garlic burger was served on lettuce and cut into quarters with toothpicks to hold it together. i really liked that since it was easier to eat. it was so yummy - full of garlic flavor! plenty of cheese and perfectly cooked. the only thing i would change is that since i can't have garlic fries, they should offer an additional side instead of nothing (regular burgers come with garlic fries). maybe like a small side salad or something? everyone else really loved their food and we were all pretty happy with our choices. we ended up sitting at the bar afterwards since my dad wanted to watch the soccer game. we ordered a few more drinks and the bartender here was excellent also. overall an excellent place to have dinner and if you go ask for kayla!

Everything here is good! Great sandwiches, great beers and great service. I've been many times and will be back many more
(4)Jenny V.
great beer, amazing food and a great atmosphere! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, i got the garlic burger with garlic fries (can you tell i like garlic?) the rest of my table got the pierogi and sausage, i stole a few bites and they were both very tasty. I can't wait to come here again, a DEFINITE must try when you're in SLC
(5)Dude W.
Some hits and some misses. The staff were nice and helpful. The bread is soft and delicious! I ordered a Banana Split smoothie. I can taste the strawberries, pineapple, and vanilla ice cream, but i don't taste banana. My friend ordered a Orange Creamsicle smoothie but said it didn't taste like an orange creamsicle. For food, the menu looked amazing with great prices! I appreciate the authentic Bohemian menu items and beers. I ordered a 12oz can of the Alt. It tastes pretty smooth! I would like to try at least half of the menu! My first time here, I ordered a House Salad and Soup Of The Day (he said chicken dumpling but it was more like tortilla wedding soup or something). The soup was very spicy, on par with chili. The salad was very delicious! My friend ordered Crab Cakes and they looked delicious! He said they tasted great! The menu is definitely enticing. My friends ordered the brats, and they give two thumbs up! As for the rest of the menu, I will have to see if they are as tasty as they appear to be next time I'm here!
(4)JP C.
Really good food, friendly service, unique setting. I've driven past this place a number of times in the past, but I never thought much of it. I figured it was just your standard pub fare, and I hadn't ever heard much to commend the place. But I finally went here with my sister and brother-in-law on their recommendation, and I'm a little disappointed I didn't make it here before! First, walking in, it's clear that his is a different kind of place. There's definitely an old world feel to the place. We sat near the front fireplace, so I didn't get much of a chance to check out the whole place, but it is definitely an interesting and unique setting. Food: There are a ton of things on the menu I still want to try, but I made a nice dent on my first visit. Schweinshaxen - I went for the most unpronouncable dish on the menu, and it turned out to be great! This is a huge pork shank with the bone-in and is accompanied by cooked red cabbage and spatzle (or mashed potatoes). Side note: Spatzle is one of the more fun words to say that I've run across. The pork shank was great! It was nice and tender and came right off the bone. The sauce on it is tasty and is poured on in just the right amount--the plate isn't drowning in it, but there is enough to get on nearly every bite of pork. The red cabbage was delicious as well. It doesn't have quite as strong a flavor as sauerkraut, but some of the same flavor profile. The spatzle seemed like it should have been a little less mushy, but it was still good. Beef Stroganoff - I tried a bite of this, and it was very good. The beef and mushrooms are cooked perfectly, and the sauce added great flavor. Fish and Chips - I tried a bite of this as well, and it was nice and tender on the inside of a crunch outside. Pretty well executed fish and chips. I'll have to make my way back here at least a few times to try out all of the other things that caught my eye on the menu. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our server knew the details of all of the dishes without hesitation, and she provided a good recommendation as to which dish I should eat of the 3 I had narrowed my choices down to. When I asked about the Roasted Garlic Bulbs--which I want to try at some point--she said they were great, but that it's something you have to plan your evening around. Good humor, to boot. I did not order any beer during this meal, but it looked like they had a great selection of beers that are not your run-of-the-mill types. My sister and brother-in-law both enjoyed their beverages. I'll definitely be back.

There's this homey place called the Bohemian Brewery & Grill right off of state street that I am currently in a love and hate relationship with. Love: the food and the service. Everything that makes eating out fun and enjoyable. Hate: the food is not what most would consider ideal and clean when trying to lose weight. Regardless I am so smitten by the service the owner provides to the customers. I literally watched him go above and beyond for EVERY patron that walked in during my meal. The employees genuinely seem happy which gives off a positive energy. Our waitress Dani was super sweet, conversational, and so attentive. The food is AMAZING. I haven't had brunch this flavorful and beautifully made in a long time. The moment I took a bite... I knew I was in trouble because I knew my best friend and I had found a new place to obsessed over. We ordered the Bohemian Eggs Florentine - (2) poached eggs on dumplings with sautéed spinach, tomato, ham, and Hollandaise sauce. Served with breakfast potatoes and fruit. And the Crispy French Toast filled with blackberry cream cheese stuffing. BOTH WERE HEAVENLY! 5 stars all the way. I was so hesitant to share a review and whatnot because for selfish reason I don't want this place to get packed BUT more business for them means they'll never leave me ;) hahaha GO TRY IT! Support your local restaurants peeps.

The chicken pesto pizza is fantastic! The bread pudding wasnt that great though- tasted like it had been zapped too long in a microwave. That pizza though.. way awesome! And they have 50 cent beer samples that the hubby loves.
(4)David L.
I had the pub combo. Spend the dollar extra and get the The French onion soup, it is to die for!!! I haven't been disappointed with May of their beers...enjoy

I had high hopes for this place. I searched for nearby "gastropub" and this place was at the top of the list. I was immediately drawn towards the calamari and the beet salad on the menu. (I love beets!) The calamari portion was generous and pretty tasty despite being a bit over salted. The beet salad however was a near total failure. The beets were over cooked and very heavily flavored with star anise and cinnamon. So much so that they had no flavor of beet. I found myself digging for the walnuts just to have some texture. The manager was nice enough to knock the salad down to half price but didn't feel compelled to talk to me about my experience. The ambience is a cross between mountain lodge and traditional beer garden though at only a third full the place is quite loud. This can be attributed to the bare concrete floors, wood log walls and ceilings. Not a soft surface insight to absorb sound. The service at the bar was adequate during my dining experience.

First off, this place serves food until 11pm on the weekdays - which is kind of a BIG DEAL in Utah, where everything closes at 9pm. If you're interested in a non-fast food late night dining option, this place is a huge win. I'm eastern european, so I grew up eating a very similar style of food. My boyfriend is of german descent and was literally giddy about the menu. We shared two entrees - The Chicken Paprikash - Chicken breast with creamy hungarian paprika sauce served with a side of steamed veggies and spätzle. Roast beef on the bone, served with red cabbage and spätzle. Not sure what this menu item is called. The chicken was OK - maybe 4 stars from me. It was cooked perfectly, and moist on the inside. The sauce drizzled on the chicken was the star of the show, and I would have appreciated a bigger helping of it. The veggies were ok - not mushy at all but pretty plain. The spätzle is a pretty close, but not perfect. The variety they use is a little too dense, and was a bit over-fried. The ideal end result should be light and airy. The beef dish on the other hand was the star of the show. Deliciously seasoned, perfectly cooked fall off the bone meat. The red cabbage was great also - my boyfriend was very impressed with the recipe. Overall a 4.5 star experience, but I'm bumping it up to 5 due to the great service and uniqueness of the menu. We'll be back!

Delicious food;) Great Patio dining!!! Had the fish and chips and Eggs Florentine. Would highly recommend

Second time here and definitely will come back. Food was authentic and local Beer was good.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Just like the song, this place delivers on all fronts. I didn't even know this place existed until my friends said we're going there for dinner. Parking was a bit tough to find as it was packed, but don't let that deter you. The restaurant is decently sized and they even have quite a bit of patio seating which is going to be perfect once the weather warms up a bit. So my group and I walked up to the bar while we waited for a table and it was a full service bar with plenty of good beer to go around. My suggestion is to try whatever they have in their seasonal selection. it's usually 3-4 different beers so don't be afraid to give all of them a go. The food....just amazing. The smell just overtakes you even before you walk into the restaurant. It was sooooo good. If you want a solid selection, order the pirogies & bratwurst. So much food in one dish. The pirogies were covered with grilled onions and bacon, hmmmm.....bacon, and the bratwurst had a hefty side of sauerkraut which was just delicious. Two bratwurst & 3 pirogies in all. Don't finish it all if you want to have room for dessert. Get the strudel if you do. Light, flaky with ice cream and whip cream on the side...Can't go wrong. The rest of my party ordered fish and chips, the veggie burger and the portobello mushroom dish. All said they were fine choices, but then again they all craved the pirogies and bratwurst that I was eating.

Texan vacationing in Utah here. As you may have seen in some of my other posts, my husband and I love visiting local breweries and brewpubs when we travel. After a terrible visit to Hoppers about 2 weeks ago, I was skeptical about trying anything else in Utah in the brewpub genre. You know, you guys have to deal with that whole 4% draft alcohol thing which kinda sucks when it comes to flavor. And the service in SLC sucks on par with the kind you get in the likes of Seattle and other places where the waitstaff makes a bit more hourly and doesn't need to rely on tips to make up most of their income. This place is different though. The restaurant is well-lit and smartly decorated. The outdoor patio is where we sat and there were actual hop vines snaking up the divider behind our table. The host who sat us was very friendly and our waiter showed up very soon afterwards. He was pretty awesome and attentive - in fact, the only time we were kind of like, Where the hell is our waiter? was towards the end, but in his defense, we'd sent him away before he could issue the check as we weren't sure if we were going to get dessert. We started with the calamari, which was fried in a light batter and coated with what tasted like a creamy chipotle sauce. There were also some fried bell peppers sprinkled in - delicious. There were 4 in our party and I think we sampled the menu pretty well. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was marinated well and very tender. It came with both fresh and sun-dried tomatoes - weird but good - and hazelnuts! My 2 friends got the garlic burger and the fish and chips. My husband got the brats and perogies (sp?) Everything except the brat plate came with these delicious garlic fries - no ketchup needed! Reports on the coleslaw that came with the fish and chips were positive overall. The beer was actually decent. They currently have 2 seasonal beers. You can try small pours (2-3 oz) for 50 cents each - it's a steal! I recommend the current seasonal Lundt beer (I think that's what it was called). The weakest I think was the Hefe but the other ones were quite solid considering the 4% governor. I would come back again and again to try all the offerings. This place is delicious and worth a trip.

Being my first visit I had it in the back of my mind that this place would loud and crowded. Being that I have run into in other places that of the same vein. I have to say I like this place. Not overly crowded or so loud that you have to yell to be heard across the table. Janelle was a delight as a server. Quick with the refills, always coming by to make sure that we happy with our meals. The smile and friendliness are natural and honest. I have to say I dislike the food. Garlic Fries are crispy good, nor overly done with garlic. Speaking of which, loved the Roasted Garlic Bulbs. The Pork Schnitzel was good. Something I look forward to having again.
(4)Michael T.
Amazing food and the service, I had the steak salad and it was superb, with the flavor on the salad being light, and the steak was to perfection and tender. Highly recommend the steak salad.
(5)Erin N.
Bohemian used to be mid-valley option that had decent food with good beer and wine options. However the past two experiences with the service and the food were so awful that it's forever "on the list" of places we'll avoid. As someone who has spent years in the service industry I know that things happen with the kitchen and it's hard to recover. But I also know that there are little things a server can do to make the experience better. Our server dropped the ball entirely. My salad came out before our appetizers and the burger. When we finally got the burger it was raw, literally raw not medium well as ordered. The manager offered to remake the burger but after waiting an hour for our food we just wanted to leave. Then we had to wait another 30 minutes to get the check and cash out. Instead of the server acknowledging the problems, she made excuses for why it took so long to get our credit card. We left two hours later angry, hungry and resolved that we will never go back.
(1)Peggy C.
Had a great dinner with friends. Their pork shank was flavorful, plenty of meat too. The whole menu is German food so I knew what to expect. They even make their own Pirogies; very flavorful too. Dessert was apple strudel. Genuine strudel too! We will be going back.
(4)Thomas N.
Came here for some beer. Great beer! Service is friendly and genuine. I like the open and rustic feel of the place. However, the bathroom is nasty. Kind of grosses me out from ordering food here. But, great place to chill and have a couple beers.

We had an incredibly disappointing experience here today. My brother and his girlfriend went to fill up two growlers. As today is her 21st birthday, she was excited to go and order her first "legal" drink. When they arrived she was turned down by a guy NOT WEARING A NAME TAG. He also made fun of her to the other patrons sitting at the bar stating, "I don't serve minors...", ON HER BIRTHDAY! This bartender claimed that she had to wait a full 24 hours before he could legally serve her. As if ANYONE is expected to wait 24 hours to celebrate their 21st birthday. As a bar / restaurant employee he should know, that any bar in Utah can serve a new 21 year old as soon as midnight on the day of their birthday. 100% legal. He also has no idea how to properly fill a growler, as he filled the two we bought only two thirds of the way full, and did not seal them up quickly after, so they are flat and undrinkable. This guy (who was at least acting like a manager - Yelling at the staff in front of their tables) should know the real laws of his trade, and work on his pouring skill, and customer service. Any GOOD bartender knows that a newly 21 year old is a great way to boost business because they are learning where they feel welcomed to drink. He has failed his business with his cold welcome to her, especially considering it IS actually against the law to work without a name tag on. He gave her a few stickers as a consolation prize, like the bank teller handing a child a lollipop. We usually love going here, so it is hard to give such a low rating, but this one person has ruined one of our favorite places for us.
(1)Molly H.
I've been eating here for years and service and food are always hit or miss. When it's good, I love it but about every 4th time I'm here it's so bad that I swear I won't go back. I waited over an hour for a salad that came out wilted and pathetically layered a few beats and a sprinkle of goat cheese. The onions were supposed to be caramelized but we're not even browned. The lettuce was soggy from too much dressing. In the hour wait for this "salad" my drink was never refilled. The waitress said sorry about the wait and that a manager would come out and talk to us. He gave our table of 4 one dessert to share for free. I still paid $14 for a shitty salad. I told him the salad was bad and his response was that other patrons liked it. Then the checks got all mixed up. I was charged for stuff I didn't order then had to wait about 30 minutes for them to fix it. The whole experience took 3 hours and I left starving and completely dissatisfied with food and service. It will be a long time before I consider going back.
(2)R C.
I have been going here for a few years and every time I go back the food and service gets worse. I went for their brunch just to mix things up a little and I was so disappointed. The service was subpar, I wasn't even able to eat my food it was so bland the server herself said that the pork and chicken schnitzel tasted the same and the fruit on the side was warm and looked slimey I'm officially over this place, it's so close to home but I will gladly drive farther to avoid it
(1)Leanne A.
We came here for lunch and wanted to watch the world cup. I thought it was going to be more of a bar than a restaurant, but the staff was really helpful and went out of the way to make sure we could see and hear the game. I was really impressed with the quality of service and had a great meal because of it. The server was really new so she didn't have a ton of suggestions, but she was really sweet. The food was good, but nothing that was super amazing. I had the blackberry chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. My husband had the Pierogies and Bratwurst. I think that pretty much everything could have used some salt and some other seasonings. The mashed potatoes were really dry and bland. The chicken was just a plain breaded chicken with a blackberry sauce, nothing out of this world. The pierogies were probably our favorite things, they were soft, pillowy and tasty. I hear the garlic fries are delicious so I want to go back and try those soon.
(4)Kirsten A.
Not too shabby for a local brewery. It was crazy busy and we expected a long wait, but only had to wait for about 10 minutes before we were seated. The waitress was super friendly and funny - it created a great atmosphere. I had the Beef Stroganoff and WOAH. I'm drooling just thinking about it. (Homer thinking about donuts drooling. It's really attractive). They used little bites of a NY Steak as the beef. I'm definitely a fan of this place!
(4)Allie J.
One of my favorite places to eat. Every time i come here the service is always great. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. I've never had a bad meal. The beer is amazing.
(5)Quintin J.
Really good schnitzel and awesome spatzle. Beer is solid too. Fun atmosphere and they have outside covered seating. I live in Ohio and seek this place out when I get to Salt Lake City. Good size menu with authentic German and other European food. Menu has good beer pairing options to help you explore beer and food to enhance your dining experience.
(5)Eric M.
German or Polish? I'm not sure which based on some of the brews and menu selections but it really doesn't matter. This place that looks and feels like a Bavarian cabin features great beers and delicious food. I left full and happy.
(5)Mike S.
Great place to get craft-brewed German lagers. While I'm always one to appreciate a nice hoppy brew, it's nice to have a place like Bohemia that offers a great selection of malty, quaffable lagers. I sampled the Bavarian Weiss, Gratzer (an unusual and uncommon smoky all-wheat beer), Schwarzbier and Viennese lager. All were excellent, the Schwarzbier outstanding. My wife had the Hefeweizen, which was also very good. This is a very cool, very German restaurant. The bar is warm and comfortable. We didn't eat but the food looked great. The place was packed. We'll definitely go back next time we're in SLC.
(4)Maxfield W.
Steak salad and the bread with olive garlic butter are my favorite. Brunch here is delicious too. Expect to wait a long time on weekend nights
(4)Hansen T.
Had the specials, a pork florentine which was tasty but I wouldn't have it again. The roasted garlic bulbs with toast are a must-try and I've tried this dish in various locations but this was the best ever. Since they're a micro brewery, they also have a good range of their own beers including lagers, pilsner to the darker hoppy ones which you could order samplers. The seasonal beers are also worth sampling. I preferred the pilsner because it was nice and light yet flavorful. The service was quick and prompt and alfresco seating on a cool night adds to the ambience. Great for group parties yet also great for business meetings like the one I had.
(4)Sam S.
Bohemian Brewery feels like an old world European pub and serves up a variety of food and drinks at their Midvale restaurant. I've eaten here for lunch and dinner a few times and rather enjoyed the food. Staff is always friendly and the service is prompt. I would recommend it.
(4)Tina S.
Love this place, try the roasted garlic! It is the bomb!! The drunken chicken had no flavor to the sauce, but it could have been a fluke. The garlic fries, nom. The garlic burger, Nom and the little shooters to try a new beer is pretty kick ass!
(4)Alex J.
I REALLY wanted to give this place five stars. I've been coming here for a few years and I really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is almost always really good and well prepared. But the service... The service could be better. Normally we try to sit at the bar. There are two bartenders in particular who are absolutely amazing. Those being Drew and Melissa (hopefully I'm getting the spellings correct). Both of them have given consistently good service, and so we try to get them when we go. The last few times we have sat in the dining room, bringing guests from out of town, the service has been absolutely horrible. This is not just from new people. There is a gal who does not seem native to the U.S. who has been here for several years and she has consistently given horrible service. (I have no problems with people not from the U.S., I only give this detail as a way of identifying her for the restaurant without giving her name or other details). There have been other sub-par servers who are much newer, but I have the hope that perhaps they will be able to improve as they're there--since I doubt the restaurant will let them go. But besides service, the food is almost consistently good. Not being one to enjoy beer, I personally cannot say either way on their beer, but every beer-loving dining companion I've brought there have had good things to say about the beer, so it seems that it's definitely worth coming for (which I would hope, since they're a brewery). They do have a nice wine list and some very delicious mixed drinks--though it is Utah so none of them are very strong. The atmosphere is cozy and visually interesting. The dining room, bar, and restrooms are clean and well maintained. They have a nice outdoor area to dine in the warmer weather as well. Again, I really think this could have been a five star review, but the service given from 70% of the employees really need to improve. Good service should come from all the staff, not just a small few.
(4)Dave H.
Excellent food! The Ruben sandwich is awesome. The kraut is the best ever! I had a brat on the side and it stole the show! The service was excellent. I was seated by the manager and he explained the lunch specials. He was fun to talk to. Our waiter was great. The $4 price tag on the brat was a bit pricey, all in all this was a very good lunch.
(4)Kate C.
I love this place the environment is great and the food is outstanding! It's some of the best food in the valley!! The service has always been good.
(5)Zrinko V.
If you don't like good beer or dead animals on display (Wow! I didn't know the Jackalope was fer real!) ya might not like this place. Me? I'm going to dive into the Perogies and Brats to go with my dark beer. Good stuff!
(4)Dani B.
My daughter and son in law took us here for the first time tonight. I have to say the food was excellent! Our server Robert was great! He was funny and very attentive.
(5)Benjamin J.
The Bohemian is within walking distance of our house so we come here quite a bit. We also have a collection of the growler mugs crowding our cupboard. We love this place. The latest visit was no different in terms of quality. We ordered the pork schnitzel, the beef goulash, and the beef stroganoff. Food was seasoned nicely and arrived timely. Portions are excellent. Beer is always a highlight here. I tried a few of the seasonal selections, but stuck with a combination of the Cherny Bock and the Viennese Lager for tonight. Only one beer is not good - the Hefeweizen - with the taste (I kid you not) of bubble gum and bananas. Service is the only thing that isn't consistent. Some (most) visits it is great, with an interactive attentive server and some visits are the exact polar opposite. Tonight's visit was somewhere in the middle. Our server was efficient but busy and quick and our table was set along a main thoroughfare of servers and bathroom seekers which resulted in consistent bumpings. Small issues with personnel aside, this place still merits a 5 star rating. Lastly, if you don't mind sitting at the bar, you can skip the line and enjoy consistently greater service. +2 for a unique menu +2 for giant beers -1 for bubble gum beer +1 for waitstaff that will accommodate you if you don't like the bubble gum beer +1 for a great decor +1 bonus if you can say Schweinsaxe after a few Cherny Bocks
(5)Emily J.
This was hands down the best meatloaf I have ever had. The service was good. There were so many choices I could not decide. So I settled on the meatloaf and I'm glad I did. My husband had the pierogies and brats and I kept sneaking taste of his plate. my favorite part was the hot buttered rum and the crab cakes for the appetizer they were really really good. next time we come back we'll do the brunch thing or will have the stroganoff because that looks really good too. If you're looking for comfort food and a good beer this is where you go.
(4)Carole P.
Honestly I have gone to the Bohemian forever, and frequently as well. I love the place and really like the food. It is Christmas, and I should know better than to visit any restaurant this time of year, but we had been shopping all day and just wanted to go to a familiar place and not be faced with cooking-we were definitely tired. So, usually when you get the check back, your card is on top, but not this time, so I missed it. I was all the way across town when I realized my card was missing and had to drive all the way back in the freezing rain to the restaurant. When we got back, we were definitely perturbed that they had not given our card back, but when the manager ( I really think it was the owner) came out she basically said it was all our fault and started to argue with us. I have worked in restaurants and hotels all my life, and seriously, if I had started an argument with a customer, even if it was their fault, I wouldn't have had my job for long. People pay high prices in places like restaurants and hotels for the service. We know how to cook-sometmes we just want someone else to do it, and the dishes, and treat us really nice. So that's it. I only offer it as a tidbit. I'm done because I expect to be served in service businesses. I'm not hating, just offering a suggestion that if you value service you maybe should take your business elsewhere.
(1)Laura N.
I have been many times. Always great experience. Food is special. It's not the same pub food although, there is some of that too. The staff is well trained and accommodating to special requests. Value for money. Great place for a date!
(5)Sam W.
Went at an off time after arriving in town. Service was fine, not great but not horrible. I ordered the pork schnitzle with spatzle instead of the normal sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes. They were fine but nothing special. They give a thin white lemony sauce that wasn't much of anything other than lemon. I definitely missed having a nice hunter's gravy covering everything. A lot of the combinations on the menu seemed a bit odd. Portion sizes are substantial. I also had the oktoberfest beer which, like the food, was fine but nothing special.
(3)Grace S.
I enjoyed the schnitzel but wish it came with a little sauce. The pork cutlet they provided was HUGE--enough for 2 meals. The pierogies and brats were ok but I thought the pierogies were a little too doughy, not light and dainty like how I prefer. I ate at Bohemian Brewery on a Friday night and even though it as quite busy, the service was still attentive and food came in a reasonable time. The restaurant is quite a drive from my home so I don't think I'll make the effort to come out for their so-so food. I do enjoy buying their beers (in cans) at the grocery store and enjoyed the varieties available at the brewery that I haven't tried before.
(4)Ricky M.
I came to SLC thinking this place was going to suck.. Well first night I dropped by Bohemian Brewery and was pretty impressed. Food was awesome I Had there Chicken Pesto Pizza along with there Heffeweisen beer and was impressed. There beer was decent but I am not used to the laws of Utah that do not allow strong imperial beers which I would of loved to have especially being at a brewery.
(4)Amanda K.
Ended a great vacation with an awesome meal here! I love the dark-lit, no frills atmosphere they have going on. My boyfriend, Alex, and I decided to sit at the bar since there was a long wait for a regular table & that ended up making our experience even better than I think it would have been at a table. The bar is nice and big, made of some kind of beautiful wood. Alex and I both ordered a beer to kick off our meals & both liked our choices. I had a light, summery beer that was very tasty. For actual food I went with the pork schnitzel with a side of spaetzle. This was awesome, the pork had good flavor with a nice crispy crust. The spaetzle was also good...a little chewy, but tasty nonetheless. Alex went with his go-to choice of a rueben and it was good as well. Good portion of corned beef sandwiched between some quality toasted bread. By sitting at the bar, we ended our meal by starting up a conversation with a few of the people who had come to the bar on their own...this was the highlight of the night for me! We met one guy from Texas who was vacationing on his own to get some skiiing in, one local guy who was a frequent visitor of the brewery from what I gathered, and another local who explained the proposed gondola link between Brighton and The Canyons. All of them were hilarious and very enjoyable to chat with. The bartender we had also provided some great service...didn't bug us too much and was quick & efficient. I will definitely come back here next time I head out to Salt Lake City for some skiing...my fingers will be crossed that I can miss the inversion next time though!!!
(5)Melissa D.
From a Polish/German girl, this is some great delicious bohemian food. Schnitzel, red cabbage and spaetzel were all tasty. The beers are THE best in Utah and can hold their own in comparison to the rest of the country. Service was friendly and quick. Explanations of the beer and food from Fred was so helpful. If you are in salt lake you should make it a point to eat and drink at the Bohemian!
(5)Cody M.
The food was decent but overpriced. But this really isn't what bothered me. A big group of us went to Bohemian to celebrate a friends going away party. It felt like the server was rushing us and he was rude. To top it off we were notified that another party had arrived that apparently reserved the table and we were asked to leave to clear the table for the other party. We had a nearly full pitcher of beer left when we were hurried out of the restaurant. I will not be a patron at this restaurant again.
(1)Tim B.
This is the place we go when we dont know where to go. Can't go wrong with brats and a cold beer. Recommend getting a beer flight to try em all.
(4)K L.
I've been to a lot of breweries down in San Diego county and they all had great food and beer. Bohemian is one of my favorites. The service is amazing, the servers are super friendly and helpful, especially when you don't know which beer to order. If you want a good specialized burger, their garlic burger is to die for.
(5)Tim B.
Love this place, just wish there was one nearer where I live in Herriman. Great food good beer and a cute bartender.... No need to say more...
(5)Troy C.
Have been to the Bohemian a couple types in the last month, enjoyable experience each time. They specialize in German food, Schnitzel, Brats, etc food I am particularly fond of, to go along with the food they have a full bar and their house made beers. The first time we went we were there for the food, the wife getting the Schnitzel and me getting the Brats. The food was tasty but maybe a bit over priced. One thing the two of us really enjoy is German Spatzel, I found theirs to be good but the wife was not impressed, I would say Siegfried's Delicatessen is better.. The second time we went we stopped for drinks and appetizers. We got the potato pancakes which came with applesauce and sour cream, they were OK. We also got an order of wings, the wife enjoyed them but I was not too impressed. The order was good sized at a reasonable price but came with a sweet BBQ sauce, I would prefer a more traditional spicy wing sauce. The beers at the Bohemian are good, I enjoyed the Cherny Boch and a couple of the other options.
(4)Laura M.
Yum the Schnitzel, the goulash, even the club sandwich and the best beers and I just love the manly stein size of girlish proportions! I am a huge Weiss beer fan, this recipe did not disappoint.

Tell me if you have heard this one before: I guy from Portland walks into a brewery in Utah. No, there really isn't any more to that. But have you heard that one before? Probably not... And yet, being away from the land of froth and coffee and doing some work in the Hinterlands of Utah the next day, I find myself here after a recommendation from the clerk at the hotel. So my coworker and I head over. The place wasn't very busy, but it is 2:30 in the afternoon. We sit down and look at what is on tap. Curiously, they only make lagers here. Granted, they are all brewed here, but they are all lagers. Something I haven't run into in Portlandia, the proud home of every hoppy ale known to mankind. So I go for the pilsner, and my companion in crime goes for the hefeweizen. I must say, the pilsner was pretty good, albeit a bit weak (I think due to some weird ass Utah brewing laws), while the hefe was right on point, with nice hints of clove and banana. Quite impressive actually. The server asked if we wanted a glass or mug, and we went for the mug. And it came in a 1 liter glass stein (think Oktoberfest in Munich). Didn't see that coming... The food was pretty good. I don't remember what my coworker got, but I had the bratwurst and Pierogis . Man, that was really tasty. The ingredients were fresh, the cooking was done well, and the plate was overloaded. Pretty decent food. I am a big man, and I couldn't finish it. Then again, I had a liter of beer rumbling around in my tummy, so that may have played a part. If you are in that part of SLC (I don't know what part it is...I just get my way around through GPS, and it was with some number crossed with another number) you should check it out. PS: To the guy with a party of 60: Did you rent out the entire building? I hope you at least made reservations ahead of time...

I guess the food was good but maybe the Bohemian style just doesn't suite me well. The place always looks busy so that probably speaks volumes over my review. I had a beer a brat and thought it was decent but nothing that I would write home about.

Everything seems a little blurry after going through a few pitchers beers that night, so I hope I can remember all the details. We came here with a group of "mostly" guys to support the Yelp Eats event. The group got a little too big for the patio, so we ended up sitting upstairs. Our waitress for the night was excellent and she took very good care of us. Despite each of us choosing a single item from each of the category, there were waaaay too much food per person. I got the Buffalo Wings, Brat Sandwich, and Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes, but I was pretty full after my appetizer. (Perhaps the portion size were meant for you to threw up after drinking too much then start eating again? :P) The Buffalo Wings were decent, and it was extremely sour like most places. Brat Sandwich tasted good as well, but I thought it was a little too "cheesy". For desserts, the Chocolate Hazelnuts Crepes was delicious, as the chocolate and nut flavors just mixed perfectly. As for beer, we tried the Bavarian, Viennese, and Cherny Bock. The Bavarian was light and refreshing especially after adding lemon flavor to it. Viennese had a dark roasting taste to it. Cherny Bock is reserved beer for the manly men, and it is just wrong to not get the manly size for this beer.

Ate here for the first time last night. We were a huge group so service was a little slow but our waitress did great overall. Food was great, beer was great. Their garlic fries are possibly the best fries I've ever had. Definitely want to go back
(5)Hang W.
Been here several times and here are the lessons I have learned. Don't overlook the specials. The desserts on special are fabulous. The soups, as strange as some sound, are super tasty. My favorites are their garlic fries, SPÄTZLE, pirogies, fish n chips and the pear salad. One odd thing to note however is the wings, the bones in our wings were all broken up and it was a bit tiresome dealing with wing shrapnel. I get a kick out of their naming convention of beer sizes. They only have a few beers but the few they have are done really well.
(4)Mark M.
Went here for an event recently, and will NOT be going back. From the moment we walked in, the hostess, the server standing there flirting with her, and some older woman who showed us to the patio, all acted like we were honored to be let in to such an establishment. There were about 60 of us in a party, and we were treated rudely, and have no intention to come back. The food was good, but not as good as they think, once you look at the prices. An order of nachos with chicken with a single beer was $29. Plenty of other places that are better, for less.
(2)Jerry K.
Outstanding and authentic Bavarian food and house brewed beer...my favorites are the pork schnitzel and the Garlic Burger (could be one of the top burgers in the world) Their Oktoberfest is seasonal...DO NOT MISS IT. Proust.
(5)Lauren M.
Great view outside! The menu was extensive and we loved the beer.

I can't go into The Bohemian without singing along to the song made famous by Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, simply stating that he "uses antlers in all of his decorating." Now that I've set the mood for you all, let me tell you why The Bohemian has been a staple for me since I discovered the beauty that is a pint of Cherny Bock, and garlic fries with their house aioli. Firstly, I like beer. I'm Australian, which would lead you to believe that I've been known to have a drink or two, and you would be correct. In my formative years I liked the lighter stuff, now - no matter how cold or hot it is outside, or if I am feeling team Jedi or Sith - I like my beers like I like my soul: dark and broody. The Cherny will not disappoint any lover of a good dark beer, and the standards that The Bohemian brews to are that of German purity, which means you're getting an excellent pour every time. Along with the Cherny, The Bohemian has three other staples, the Viennese Lager, a Czech Pilsner, and the Bavarian Weiß. Not to be outdone by the other local brewers, The Bohemian also has a rotating Seasonal Brew, so be sure to ask what that is to see if there's something other than "the usual" that will tantalise your tastebuds. Now that we have the most important part out of the way, let's move on to the food. Most people will argue that there are many good garlic burgers to be found in SLC, and you may find that my next statement is a big call - but I stand by it - there's only one, and you'll find it here. The Bohemian's garlic burger is magnificently prepared every time and usually served cooked medium. Along with the moist and delicious burger, you'll get peppered bacon, cheddar cheese, the usual toppings (tomato/lettuce/onion), and a side of the most magnificent garlic fries in the land. It's real garlic, not powder, it doesn't come with a hockey puck for a patty, and the onion roll is delicious. The Bohemian has a house made aioli that some may refer to as "fry sauce" but it's lighter and tastier to me than a lot of the other sauces in the land of Zion. It doesn't just stop here though, the salads are HUGE, their wood fired pizzas are tasty, the goulash is delicious, and their Bratwurst and Pierogi plate is to die for. Oh, and try a side of Spaetzle with your next meal, I promise it will end up having a special place in your heart next to your grown-up love of Mac & Cheese. All in all, The Bohemian doesn't disappoint in my eyes, my belly, nor my wallet, and they even have a scooter museum upstairs along with great space for large groups. Go Czech them out ;)

This place has the best pork schnitzel I've ever had, also the beer is pretty tasty I come here every time I'm in the Salt Lake City area for work. Also their walls are lined with some funny pictures
(5)Ili M.
I've been here several time and the service and food was always great. However, today was a little bit disappointing. Service was a bit slow, but at the end she made it up. The halibut tasted a bit old. I don't know if it was the oil or what. It wasn't as fresh as it normally is. I will come back though. The previous experiences I've had, have been on point.

I saw a few promising reviews so I got the boys to go here for dinner. We didn't realize that Monday Night Football was on, but that was a bonus. Some of the appetizers were 1/2 off =) and we were not complaining. Crab cakes and Roasted Garlic Bulbs to start off. Crab cakes came out very nice, and I don't think you should be able to mess up the roasted garlic. My buddy tried samples of their four signature beers and one seasonal. He settled on the Viennese Lager by the time our entrees came, and since it was the suggested pairing I tried a pint myself. As I am just starting to learn about beer, I can not say too much about it other than i really liked the flavor. Nothing too overpowering. Piergoies & Bratwurst came first sitting on top of a bed of Sauerkraut. My buddy was unable to finish all of it. He complimented the Bratwurst as being one of the best he has tried. Also he mentioned that the sauerkraut was not as tangy and did not have the bite he expected, but went well with everything. My other friend tried the special today of Red Trout stuffed with Crab and...other goodies. I didn't hear much from him since he was deep into his meal and big mug of Viennese Lager, but I got the feeling he was enjoying everything. I had the Bohemian Goulash which was quite filling. Rich flavors and wonderful bread. Almost too rich for me and I had to skip desert. I hope I took a picture... As I was recovering an order was placed for the Bread Pudding. It was as beautiful as it sounded in the menu and did not last very long. Hopefully I get to try some next time and can comment on it. All I really got was "Oh this is good, you have to try some..." and then it was gone. Some people mentioned problems with parking, but we were lucky tonight. Lot is a bit interesting though. I really liked the feel I got inside. Very welcoming. Some of the decorations were playful, most just seemed to fit the lodge feeling. We ended up by the fireplace and it was a bit too warm, but will be much appreciated in the months to come. Great attentive service tonight. Everything flowed smoothly, seeming to come at just the right time. Our servers suggestions and comments helped us to decide which way to go and were spot on...very thankful for her help. I would gladly come back here and bring others so they can experience great food and good beer at a place so comfortable you just don't want to leave.
(5)Seth L.
Great food, with a wide selection of beers. Tends to get pretty busy on the weekends, but there's a great atmosphere. Service can be slow, so prepare to settle in, but it's worth it. If you get a chance check out the vintage Vespas on the second floor.
(4)Vincent D.
Great brunch and or lunch. Quick and attentive service. Lot of food for what you get so great value. Pierogies And bratwurst was great.
(4)Darin B.
Since moving to SLC, I have been to the Bohemian a few times and I have had some great food and some unbelievably good brews. The staff is extremely friendly, and the atmosphere is fun.
(5)lisa h.
awesome!!!!! love this place! sampling all the beers is so much fun and the food is TO DIE FOR. SAUSAGE IN MY MOUTH!!!
(5)Jean W.
I've been to BoBrew several times, and I always have a good experience. Great location, plenty of parking, friendly service, great beer selection, decent food, eclectic and fun atmosphere - what's not to like? If you're coming for the beer, you won't be disappointed. Their brews are pretty tasty. My personal favorite is the Bavarian Weiss with a hunk of fresh orange. If you're undecided, you can sample any brew for a very acceptable price. Other draught size choices are also reasonably priced. The food is plentifully plated, and average on the price scale. They serve a lovely Pear Salad - my favorite thing on the menu. I've had other salads which were also worthy, but I can't seem to stay away from the Pear. They have many meat dishes, which are a bit heavy for me (ie. the Schnitzel, Meatloaf and Goulash - all good but very hefty). Hubby likes their burgers, and often defaults to the Buffalo Burger complete with BACON and gorgonzola! Their apps and sides are highlights - if you miss the Gilroy roasted garlic with tomato tapenade and bruschetta-type bread, I feel bad for you. It's a treat for garlic lovers! The garlic fries are also delightfully garlicky and wonderful - served with a good aioli dipping sauce. The beer-battered onion rings are great as well, but are occasionally a bit greasy. I would recommend checking with your server to see when they last changed out their fry oil before ordering them. Skip the crab cakes, the quesadilla, and the caprese apps. I'm not sure why they are still serving these, because they're so far out of their genre. They don't do them well. When ordering, keep in mind where you are, and their associated specialties, and you'll do just fine. But venture into their faux-Mexitalianish choices, and you'll likely regret it like I have. That being said, I've never tried their pizza. Keeping in mind the previous warning, I'm never tempted. I've also never been for brunch. I hear quite mixed reviews, so I'm not rushing to brunch it up here. BB hosts and attends a lot of biker-centric events. There are always many bikes lined up in the parking lot, and bikers lined up at the bar. Their beer has also won a lot of national and local awards. My theory is, if the biker crowd loves the beer it must be good! I do have a gripe about the menus at BoBrew - there are just so many misspellings. It's a big pet peeve of mine. Seriously, who designs and prints these menus? How many people are involved? Because unless it's a lone 3rd grader, they should be ashamed of themselves. It's bad, but it won't keep me from their wares. Lass es dir schmecken!
(4)Brittany R.
My favorite place to eat out! Take that as you will. My boyfriend first took me here for my birthday and now it is our most frequented restaurant on our nights out. We are never disappointed. Our bills is usually around $60 or 70 (including tip) for a full meal for two adults along with beers for refreshment. A good price and well worth the money. The beers and menu items are beyond amazing. Rest assured, it will undoubtedly be a visit with consistent mouthgasms while you was there. Friendly and attentive wait staff as well.
(5)Lindee H.
Amazing atmosphere, excellent food, great service and wonderful Beer. What more can you ask for.
(5)Lizzie W.
I came here for my birthday dinner last November. I was painfully underwhelmed. For starters, maybe I would have been a little bit more objective and forgiving had it not been on my birthday. I didn't really want to come here, but my mother's boyfriend had purchased tickets to a beer and food pairing here and decided she couldn't back out. The staff here were nice. They were accommodating and hands on considering they had several other guests to cater to. The first food that we started off with was some kind of Wisconsin Cheese Soup. I actually really liked this dish, and had everything been as good I probably would have enjoyed it that much more. But that's where the good review ends because everything else was either cold or seriously lacking in flavor. We had some sort of meat, that was so uninspiring that I can't even remember what it was. However I remember that it was incredibly salty and lukewarm upon arrival. I didn't finish it, nor do I finish anything else for that matter. As somewhere that prides themselves on producing really good German food, they seriously fall very short. Perhaps I will give them the benefit of the doubt seeing as it was a very crowded night for them but I seriously can't imagine a vast improvement from November 2012. There are so many other great places to eat.
(2)Linda K.
I have been here multiple times either just for drinks or for dinner and drinks and each time is superb. It's nice to just sit and hang out at the bar and the bartenders have always been friendly. I tend to stick to favorites, but the bartender kindly gave me little samples to try other beers when I tried to venture out (and was kindly not charged the .50 cents as I should have been for each sample). There hasn't been a beer that I didn't like there, but I do tend to order and enjoy the Pilsner every time. I love garlic fries, and I love garlic fries at Bohemian. I could eat an entire plate as a meal and be completely satisfied. Always get the fries! No complaints about their nacho plate as an appetizer, but it gets a bit pricey just to add some chicken to it. What I always crave here is their plate of Peirogies and Bratwurst. It's usually too much food for me to finish in one sitting (as much as I want to) so there are always leftovers. The brats are delicious and who doesn't love cheesy potato peirogies? I love all the flavors together with a little bit of sauerkraut, dill sauce, and topped with the bacon bits and onions. YUM! In the warmer months, it's also nice to sit out on the patio. It doesn't have the greatest view (looks directly onto the parking lot), but it's just nice to be outside. The service has never been an issue here and everyone has always been friendly and attentive.
(5)Lexi S.
Pretty good food and pretty good beer. I thought the prices were high for the food and I thought the flavor profile was lacking a bit in the beer department. A bit too one-note for me. The atmosphere picks up some points and would like to come back for the patio when it warms up. I wouldn't rule it out in a pinch, but it didn't knock my Bavarian socks off.
(3)Joshua S.
Ah, the Bohemian Brewery! One of my favorite places to go. The beer selection is not huge; they focus mainly on their signature beers, so unless a seasonal is available, they tend to only have the main four, but they have plenty of other very delicious drinks. I have never had a poor server at this place. In fact, I can say, hands down, that I had the best waiter I've ever had in my life at this place, and let me tell you why. I went here for the brunch on Father's Day and I ordered pancakes and the biscuits with brat gravy (yeah, I know... I had a carb-fest, but we were celebrating). Anyways, the waiter was always on top of everything I could possibly need. There was even one point where I thought to myself, "Hmm, I could have used more gravy on my biscuits." Then suddenly, out of nowhere the waiter appeared with a bowl of gravy and stated, "When I walked by, I noticed your biscuits were looking a little bare, would you like more gravy?" I was very pleased when we left that day. The food has always been very good, we've even ordered things from the lunch menu when it was dinner rush and the staff has gone above and beyond to make every visit a great time.
(5)Lindsay B.
Love this place! Both food and beer is delicious. My favorite is the schnitzel, soooo good. Have tried a variety of things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. The place is large so there never seems to be much of a wait. One of our go to places for sure!
(5)Erika T.
Won't be back. The fries were garlicky all right, but they looked and tasted like McDonald's fries! Lame. The nachos were DRY - no salsa, guac, pico de gallo, nothing! Cheese, black olives, a few beans (literally), and sour cream. Terrible! All other breweries in SLC put this place to shame.
(1)Fiona H.
Seeing as it's nearly impossible to find German food in...well, anywhere, I was very surprised to find this place a few years ago in Salt Lake City. Came back recently with my family and it was still as delicious as I remember. The food is great, sauerkraut is amazing and I love that they fry their spätzle. They have many delicious beers on tap as well and I love the lodge decor this place has with the big fire place and faux 'hops' hanging above the bar. More importantly though, the service was excellent! Our waiter must be like the Christoph Waltz of Utah because he was very talkative and charismatic with his German accent. He was also trying to be as helpful and informative as possible about the food and beer. Definitely knew his stuff! I've only been here twice but both times were great. I absolutely love German fare since I grew up eating it so I supposed you could say I'm a bit biased. It's also nice that they offer that along with a pretty wide variety of other eats like pizzas, burgers and what not. Can't wait to come back to this place next time I'm in Salt Lake though!
(4)Jenny C.
Visited while on a work trip and saw the good reviews. The menu looked great- German and Polish food. I ended up getting the chicken with brandy sauce which wAs very good. I had the darkest beer they had, it was good. The bartender was very nice and I liked the atmosphere- like being in log cabin. I would go back next time in town.
(4)Charles S.
Time for an update? Yah, probably. This visit was another wonderful one. The patio was delightful. The service was spot on! We got our food quickly and our water glasses were always full... and our own wine bottle ($10 corkage) was openend almost immediately upon our arrival. Since it was "Yelp Eats" time, we ate waaaayyyy toooo much!! Holy Smokes! I had the wings and Lisa got the garlic bulb as our apps. The bbq wings were really good. They were prepared very well and doused in a really good, tangy, not too sweet, bbq sauce. I prefer mine spicy Buffalo style, but I still ate them all. Lisa really liked the garlic thingy, but I thought it was sort of bland. The entrees: chicken wrap for Lisa and goulash for me. YUMM!!! Loved them both! And, since we were full from the appies, we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Lisa swore she didn't like crepes, but I (with some help from our waiter) assured her that she must have never had GOOD crepes. We got 1 choco-hazelnut and 1 raspberry. Delicious! And Lisa now LOVES crepes! These guys are good!!
(4)Chris L.
Best brunch in and around SLC! The bratwurst gravy can go on anything. I'd pay for a 5 gallon bucket of it just to have it at home to put on everything. Outstanding schnitzel. I lived in Germany while in the army, and miss German food. This place fills the void quite well! I suggest this place for Sunday brunch.
(5)Michael M.
I had the seasonal beer (Zoigl) and it was delicious. For dinner I had the Goulash and it was tasty, a bit more fat than I would prefer (I would have trimmed this off if I was cooking it). The music was a great selection of blues. Overall a great experience. And I would go back. Really? You guys charge 50 cents for a sample of beer???
(4)paula m.
Great food (pierogis and reuben), beer (banana-essence Hefe) and service...I will be back when I visit SLC again!
(5)Christine C.
I've been here several times and I always love it. My favorite dishes are the Bavarian Brats or the Pierogies and Bratwurst. It's a neat building and it's got a nice, laid-back atmosphere. Great place to eat!
(5)Zack S.
The dark beer at Bohemian is fantastic! Lots of great food too. The atmosphere is awesome and very warm--with a nice fireplace in the middle of the dining area to boot. Overall I was super impressed with the beer (brewed in-house, of course) and the fantastic selection of German-style appetizers and entrees. Will definitely be coming back again soon.
(5)Darci R.
I love this place! Great service and food! The spatzle is so yummy and the chicken paprekash is divine! Mmmmmm!!!!!
(5)David B.
the food was very good here. beer was decent. not bad but not great. in fairness to this place i dont like most of the beer in Utah. very cool environment. overall a good experience.
(4)Nicole B.
Mmmmm...oh how I love to go BoHo! Last night was my third visit to Bohemian Brewery, and service and food have been consistent every time. I always get the garlic fries, which come in a giant basket with dipping sauce (when ordered as an appetizer). I have had the garlic burger, and it's mighty tasty...and fragrant. Don't eat this if you plan to impress anyone with your scent for the next 12 hours. It's rich and meaty and one of the best garlic burgers I've ever tasted. I like their pork schnitzel, beef goulash, and pierogies and bratwurst. I'm not an alchy, but my brother swears by the Bohemian Brews. He gets the biggest glass he can get when he dines in, and often brings the house brews home in cans. I've yet to try the desserts at BB because I always am stuffed American by the time I finish my meal. I hear good things about the bread pudding, however. I live a few blocks away, so I know I'll be coming back for more soon.
(4)Ryan C.
I've been to Bohemian several times, but the most recent visit was for Yelp Eats. In the past, the chicken paprikash has been a favorite. Deep, spiced flavor with some nicely cooked chicken and some butter-drenched spaetzle as a side. It is as delicious as it sounds. I'll go back to Bohemian sometime to try it again. The last visit, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I tried: - roasted garlic appetizer - goulash - fruit dumplings - chocolate hazelnut crepes Yes, that's two desserts. Yes, I was alone. Yes, I felt like a bit of a pig afterward. The roasted garlic appetizer was the standout of the meal. Such a simple idea: two entire bulbs of garlic, roasted in oil, and served with toast points that seemed to each take up half a loaf of bread they were so large and a small bowl of bruschetta. Clean, fresh tastes with garlic at the forefront. Solid A. The goulash felt a tad cheap. Some rather tough cubes of beef swimming in a vat of heavy, paprika-drenched gravy so large I could have done the backstroke in it. No real nuance here, just paprika and a real dearth of protein. Dessert wasn't much better. The dumplings were airy but filled with what appeared to be canned apple pie filling. The crepes themselves were good, though very small. I don't wish to cast aspersions on a business that welcomed Yelpers to taste their wares for half price, but it seems that my experience with Yelp Eats this year seemed to fall into two categories: places like Wild Grape that killed the fatted calf and put their best items on display, and places like Bohemian who offered the cheapest items possible. I get that there is a business at work here, but the second strategy seems ill-conceived. That being said, go there and try the chicken paprikash. You'll have had a much better meal than my last one.
(3)Jonathan M.
For a restaurant that specialized in this cuisine I was surprised at the lack of flavor. The first time I dined here, I heard good things about the meatloaf, so I was shocked when mine was flavorless, as if someone forgot to season it. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were also blah. I have dined here twice and think there is a consistency problem. The first time I shared a brew masters basket (a bunch of fried food); it was very good and the halibut was delicious. However, I returned a second time because the basket was so good, but it was greasy and poorly fried. The reuben sandwich had thin soggy bread and a surprisingly small amount of pastrami and sauerkraut. Given the theme of the restaurant, a poor reuben is unacceptable. As for the beer, I could take it or leave it.
(2)D. W.
They very clearly have spent a lot of money on the interior of this place and that part is quite enjoyable. Service also tends to be very good and the beer is also pretty solid. However, the food is kind of...I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's not bad or anything, but neither is it good. I went in really wanting to like this place, which definitely seems to have a sort of Slavic theme to it, but that type of food has historically been somewhat lost on me. I suppose that could be the real problem here; I can't quite tell if what they're doing is authentic or not, though I'm guessing it's at least close. It just doesn't ring any bells with my palate and wound up being somewhat forgettable overall. I wouldn't mind trying this place out again, but I wouldn't seek it out, either. If anything, this to me, is the very definition of a 3 star experience overall.
(3)Jen J.
Atmosphere is great. I always give establishments the benefit of the doubt, however, I have to comment on my experience at the Bohemian tonight. Staff was nice and we got seated quickly. We ordered the wings which were amazing. Served in the right amount of time. I ordered the ahi tuna salad. I normally order that anywhere I go, but this time it was foul. The instant I had it in my mouth it was overpoweringly fishy and metallic at the same time. Ahi has almost a filet mignon consistency and flavor to it, but this time that was not the case. I ordered the steak salad instead which was fabulous however I was quite surprised that I was charged for it. In the same time I'm waiting for my salad another server dropped a plate of marinara infused mushroom which spotted my tan pants. The server did not ask anyone in the vicinity if they were ok and proceed to hurriedly clean up the plate and walk away. I hate complaining! But this time I just was disappointed that A. I wasn't asked if my pants were ruined and B. I wasn't compensated in any way shape or form for having to endure a rotten bite of fish! Other than that, will I return? Possibly, but I will never order fish from here again.
(3)Monica K.
Went to here last night for the third time and I like it every time. The good is very good (especially the garlic burger or the shrimp scampi) and the beer is excellent. I am not a huge fan of very dark beers but I really liked theirs. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is that the service can be really slow.
(4)Erik M.
We eat here whenever we remember the place is here. Seriously, we were trying to eat at any restaurant at Fashion Place Mall but couldn't find parking. (No, it wasn't Black Friday) so I remembered the Bohemian Brewery. The food is awesome! This time I had the Chicken Paprikash. Tasted just like mom used to make (I grew up in a German household). If you are looking for truly authentic, there are better places, but their take on German food is excellent. But that wasn't the best part. We were mezmerized by our waiter. Never had we experience such service! It was like he was clairvoiant. He would show up with items before we had a chance to ask for them! He was speedy, knowledgeable, efficient, accurate, thoughtful, and German. Yes, we got to speak a little of the mother tongue. He actually started it when he realized I was ordering German food items without an American accent. His name is Fred and I suggest you ask for him. Truly spectacular service.

This was this site of the highly successful and entertaining Bros who Brunch: Part Deux. Despite being highly recommended, I still hadn't been here till our Yelp event. Its a huge restaurant and has a very log cabin feel about it, right down to the nice rock fireplace in the middle. It seems that they brew their own beer and there was a guy pruning some sort of parking lot vineyard they have. Does this mean they have exhaust flavored red wine too? Maybe I'll figure that out on the next visit. I was there for their Saturday/Sunday brunch. It was 11am and the place was mostly empty. It is in the suburbs and I find that people with life partners and child(rens) often don't brunch it up much. So this could be the best kept secret in brunching in the SL Valley. The brunch menu is limited to a handful of dishes. Between most everyone at the table, I was able to see the majority of the brunch menu dishes. The presentation and portions were outstanding. I personally had the Eggs Florentine. It was served with diced potatoes and fruit. The dish was thoughtfully put together with fresh spinach and a very rich hollandaise sauce. One area that is often left behind are the potatoes. They were diced with peppers and they actually had taste to them which is something void from most breakfast potatoes. I need to try some of the brews they make on site. I was a little modest with that brunch outing. The waitress was unaware of the proper way to make a "beermosa" but she seemed to learn fast. I'm looking forward to going back to try the delicious looking french toast. I'm also looking forward to drinking some of the locally made beer and maybe something from their parking lot vineyard if there is such a smoky exhausty wine.
(4)Monica T.
I finally made it over to the Bohemian for the first time in quite awhile. I suppose I should get down to "Southern Utah" more often because there are quite a few good restaurants, this being one of them. On this particular occasion, I went with the verona sandwich. I recognize that this is kind of a summery dish and it *was* snowing outside, but it worked for me! The prosciutto and mozzarella were super fresh and tasty, and I was a huge fan of the garlic fries. I dined here in the company of a large group, and everyone else seemed very pleased with their various entrees. Unfortunately, I'm not a beer fan, so I didn't sample any. They did have a nice wine list for a brewpub, though. Most everyone else in the group had beer, and seemed universally pleased with their selections. Service was good, though occasionally slow. Prices seemed a bit high, but it's all good. This place is a good one to go to for a nice change of pace.

My boyfriend and I really enjoy this place for date night. We always sit at the bar and have Mel serve us if she is there. They have a good selection of beer and other drinks. The plates are hearty and we can often get away with sharing something. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the seasonal brews and regular brews on tap. Everything on the menu seems to be made fresh and made to order. It is delicious everytime we go.
(5)Olyssa K.
They have the best food. Their steak salad is the best! I definitely recommend coming here for food and drinks. Service is great too!

This place isn't bad at all. The inside looks like a cabin. There's nothing wrong with cabins. I honestly wish I brought my snuggie so I could have cozied up by the fire and ate my perogies and bratwurst while watching re-runs of Friends. I would have said Mad About You but even I can't play THAT effeminately. We came here after stopping by Buffalo Wild Wings and there was a 90 minute wait. This joint is literally 5 minutes away from there and is much more my pace. They have Bohemian Micro brews for you beer connoisseurs, as well as a full bar. My friends got two different burgers and were very pleased with them. Neither were able to finish their meals as the dishes were very large. Our waitress was very kind and attentive and it was also a quiet experience, which I personally enjoy for brunch on a Saturday morning. I believe I'll be bringing other friends back to visit this joint. Prices were average for an above average experience.

My wife and I just tried this place for the first time on date night. I was really impressed with the quality and unique food options. The service was great too. We will be going back here!
(4)Jordan L.
If you're a fan of German cuisine and microbrew, then Bohemian is the place to go. It provides a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place for kids as well. My favorites on the menu are: Pirogies and Brats, Garlic Fries, Onion Rings, and Potato Pancakes.
(4)Michelle R.
Me and my Mom and Grandparents went here the other day for lunch. The ambiance inside the restaurant is really cute. The food was great. I love their German food, I had brats with mashed potatoes and saurkraut. Very yummy! The beer was also quite delicious. The bread they serve on the table is divine. This is definitely a fun place to go.
(4)Julie K.
Four stars cause I like their beer. Three for their food. The Pirogies and Sausages were worth the ranting and raving seen elsewhere on this forum. For those who avoid meat they have some decent pizzas that can be modified to fit your tastes. But really its about the beer. Try the Cherney Bock.
(4)Halli H.
I was really impressed the moment I walked in the door. The host was a charming man and the atmosphere is like an Alaskan lodge. The food was excellent - way better than you would expect at a brewery.
(4)Michele K.
I came here on the recommendation of the hotel I was staying at on a recent business trip. It was late when I got here, so the restaurant was uncrowded and the bar seemed to be where all the action was. My server and the other crew were friendly, although they seemed a little preoccupied with possibly closing up for the night. I tried a house salad, which was delicious with the house dressing, and the salmon, which was outstanding. It was moist and flavorful and the glaze was the true topper. The staff had no problem giving me all steamed veggies with my meal instead of a potato or rice. The portion was huge and hit the spot for me, a hungry traveler who had not eaten all day. A great find! Wish I would have tried the beer, but I was in the mood for a cocktail instead, and it also hit the spot.
(4)Greg D.
How have I not heard of this place? I really don't understand why I didn't make it here sooner. The Bohemian Brewery made my night with their delicious food. My party tried some garlic fries and they were great, so I decided to go all in with the garlic burger that did not disappoint. My wife had one of the pizzas and I was very impressed, they are pretty big for an individual serving. Drinking a giant beer inside this cabin like setting had me feeling like a real man, if for only an hour.
(4)Laura G.
The food is okay - nothing spectacular - but the service has been horrid every time. We're talking apathetic, unhelpful servers who have a tendency to disappear for up to 20-30 minutes at a time. On one of my visits, my friends and I were literally the only table in the restaurant, so I'm not really sure what was so difficult about merely checking in. The Bohemian isn't the worst dining experience I've ever had, but man. I've been there a few times now, and I keep thinking it will get better next time. I'm sad to say there most likely won't be a next time, though.
(2)Tammy S.
Another delicious meal! Oh, and can't forget the beer!!!
(5)J B.
The food was ok. Not particularly bad - not particularly memorable. I really want to give a brewery in Mormon-town more stars. They have a habit of ruining beer here by selling it in a version that is only 3% alcohol and tastes funny. I have to give them credit: Their beer was good.... and that was the most important part of my visit. 3.5 STARS.
(3)Vida A.
Starts from the frenzy of the crazy parking lot that we ended up parking in a dirt parking lot. Then inside we waited for another 20 minutes, waaaay overcrowded. With all the people you would think the food is amazing. I honestly heard about this horseradish that of course had run out. We ordered the brats and some other stuff people raved about but nothing worth craving over in the future and way too overpriced. I really dont get the draw here.Did i miss something? oh and yes. i had the beer, meh.
(2)Valencia W.
Ahm, the food is decent and the service was decent. I wasn't raging over this place but then I had the garlic fries which I can say that they were pretty awesome. I was starving and the food filled that void. The pizza's that I saw looked like they had some heart and soul poured into them so maybe if I go there again I'll try that. 3 stars.
(3)Kara D.
Fred is the reason we will never eat here again. He was incredibly sexist towards me. He spoke exclusively to my husband and barely acknowledged my existence. When we left, he said, "thank you sir!" like my husband was the only one that paid the bill (we split it like we usually do). Fred is a sexist pig and does not belong in the restaurant business, especially not in the front end with customers who may be female! The beer was disgusting. I have never seen my husband leave a half empty beer on the table. That is saying a lot! The food was Bohemian's only redeeming quality. It was delicious! Garlic fries were pretty tasty! A bit overpriced though...
(1)Karen S.
Yelp Eats finally brought me here, though I've driven by and wondered about it a plethora of times. The servings were gigantic. I got the garlic fries and the goulash and ending up taking most of it home because I was so full. The fries were fantatic! Who cares if I tasted them clear until mid the next day. Worth it. The goulash had just a hint of the hot spice, which was perfect for me. Not having had real goulash before I wasn't really sure what to expect. It was definitely meat heavy. I guess I thought there'd be more vegetables in it. But it was very tasty. Thankfully I didn't order a dessert because I got to taste one of everything from everyone elses plates and they were ALL good. The atmosphere and decor were fun and they let us stay and talk as long as we wanted. Our server even came out and checked on us way after his shift was over. I guess we were there for a while! Service was great. All in all, a good place for a manly meal. I can do that sometimes too.
(4)Brandon C.
Really hate to re-review this place, since it's just a few blocks away from where I live and they have great beer. But I had one of the worst dining experiences ever on my last visit, on a quiet Sunday morning. In short: -Floating gnats in my water. Several gnats -No apology for the gnats -20 minutes for a replacement water -Half of my table's food came out 10 minutes before the other half -My food was cold, as was other folks' at the table -After asking the server for ketchup, Tabasco, etc, they didn't make their way to our table for 15 minutes -We asked our checks to be separated, and they were. Just with all the items jumbled. I had my main dish on mine, but someone else's drink and yet another person's appetizer. All of the bills were like this. Their prices have been on a steady climb the last couple years, so I can't justify going here with that level of service.
(1)Elizabeth F.
LOTS OF FOOD! I have been here twice. Each time I forget. LARGE PORTIONS! Well maybe its a normal portion size with SUPER HEAVY FOOD! The beer is good. No really! I know that Utah is known for their....shall we say strict alcohol laws. I can tell you as a beer lover the taste is still there! I have also had mixed drinks here and the ones that list a lot of different liquors are much stronger than expected. Let's get back to the food. I love it. Basic German grub. Don't expect to be wow'ed....BUT if spatzle is your comfort food, this is a great place for you. The brewhouse is not set up like and American bar (though they do have a bar). It is set up more like a German food/brew house. Tables are really close to each other so DON'T EXPECT PRIVACY!!
(4)Chris J.
Hands down my favorite Brewery/Pub/Restaurant in Utah. For truly Bohemian food that was made to be enjoyed with only the best beer, the Bohemian is the only place to go in Utah. Personally can suggest the Pierogies & Brats, and the Goulash. My favorite beer is a seasonal unfiltered Pilsner which as good as anything you would find in Prague.
(5)Thomas W.
In town to ski. Found this joint on Yelp. Great micro brew. Friendly service. Recommend the wings and Schnitzel!
(4)Chris H.
While out with Bros who Brunch we went to Bohemian Brewery. Not too many people know this but they have a great brunch. I had the french toast. This meal came with fruit, french toast that had blueberries in between the slices of toast making every bite heaven in my mouth. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a brunch place. Some of the other guys I was with had the egg Florentine.This looked very tasty and they were some of the first to finish. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The service was great as well. I don't know if it was because it was all dudes and she was working for a better tip ;) or if the staff is really that genuine.
(4)David M.
Haven't been here in years and thought I'd give it another try. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer but, from what I've been told, they are good tasting with a variety of flavors. I ordered the Potato Pancakes and the Pierogie's and Bratwurst. The pancakes were good, but just a bit tough. Not sure why. The pierogie's and brats were good, but didn't knock my socks off. The sauerkraut was a bit over-cooked for my taste, liking it with a bit more crunch. Bottom line....if you love a good selection of beer and want some german/bohemian meals, this is a great place. If you are looking for "to die for" german food, you might want to look elsewhere.
(3)Emmett M.
Great beer, food good. If you like dark lagers, cherny bock is great.
(4)Todd D.
The Bohemian is one of those places where the waiter will usually have to return to your table 2 or 3 times before your able to decide what you want to order. There are a lot of different options on the menu and I find it difficult to decide what I'm going to get every time I come here. In the meantime I started off by sampling a few different brews in order to find a favorite that I will get in a viking size stein. Every beer they serve on tap is made on location and every one I've tried so far has been as good as if not the best that Utah has to offer. For the meal I went with the salmon salad. At first I thought it might be a little over priced at $15 but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived due to the generous sized salmon steak. It was a delicious and filling salad and tasted as fresh as could be expected. My only critique would be that the salmon was pretty overcooked. Charred on the bottom and thoroughly grilled throughout. In their defense though I didn't specify how I would have wanted it prepared. I like my salmon medium rare with an emphasis on the rare, if I had requested it that way it probably would have been perfect. Props to the Bohemian for another good meal and great experience, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the pork schnitzel.
(4)J S.
I have been here twice. Both times the food was awesome, the beer was phenomenal, and the service was horrid. The first time the waiter was in a hurry to close down for the night. He dropped our order off and then we never saw him again. The next time we stopped in and the waiter acted put out that we were there. Both times we complained to the manager about how poor the service was. I think this place would be five stars if they could get service down.
(2)Johnny A.
Good beer, good food. More of date type place than a brewery though.
(3)Robin P.
We really wanted to like this place. Close to home, brewing their own beer... But after a number of visits over 6 months, we've come to the conclusion that the service sucks, the food is salty and the beer is the best thing going. If you're there on a good night, you'll get decent service. If it's an off night, get ready to walk out before your food ever arrives. The beers are good, but you can get better elsewhere.
(2)Daniel B.
If it were to be judged solely on the service, then Bohemian Brewery & Grill would earn a "Two Thumbs Up" and a Gold Star, too. Add food to the equation, and I doubt the score would change. Within seconds of walking into the Bohemian for the first time, I was greeted with a smile, taken to a seat, and informed, quite pleasantly, that nothing I ate today had been bottled, canned or packaged. It was all fresh. "The only way you get better German food," he said, "is if you buy a plane ticket." Presumably, that ticket would need to land in Berlin. After eating, I had to agree. The food was great. I ordered a brat sandwich with a side of potato pancakes (no, don't ask me how potato pancakes qualify as a "side dish." I shared them, effectively halving my calorie intake for the meal to about the average for three normal people...and I am normal people). The sandwich was a sliced brat drowning in swiss cheese and sweet tasting sauerkraut on parmesan bread. It was a delicious combination and a cornucopia of flavor. I've eaten a few brats in my day. This one had more than a hint of fennel and when the contrast of the slightly salty parmesan bread was added to the equation, made for a delicious, if messy, meal. Accompanying the sandwich were garlic fries. When I say "garlic," I mean that the fries were literally flavored with fresh garlic. It was delicious, only adding to the palate of diverse flavors coming out of this meal. The only complaint I have was that as good as the fries were on the outset, and as hot as they were, as time passed they became soggy. Not too unexpected, but still, there it is. The potato pancakes were passably good. Crisp and fried on the outside and just thick enough to leave a soft mushy texture on the inside. I'll let you do the math on the calorie content of the meal. Regardless, it was enjoyable, and worthy of at least skipping a couple meals to compensate. Service: 9/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 (because the t.v.s were large and everywhere...distracting) Food: 7/10 Parking: 7/10 Eat-ability Quotient (an average of scores): 7.5/10

Went here on a slow night after a week camping in Moab. The beers (although only 4% alcohol) were the best micros I tasted in Utah. The sandwich plates came with garlic fries for only 9 bucks and were dinner sized and delicious. Nice atmosphere, nice people, I'd highly recommend this spot over a chain restaurant. Try the nachos and the grilled chicken sandwich.
(5)Vincent B.
Finally, after more than ten years I was able to try this restaurant! Sorry I did not do it sooner. We had a large group - 6 adults and 6 kids - and contrary to Yelp's quick information, this restaurant is fine for kids - kids menu and kid friendly! Menu not only included all standard pub fare (from fish and chips to burgers and sandwiches), but some great German and European specialties: schnitzel, gulash, sauerkraut, etc. Desserts were also good (especially the strudel) and the fresh smoothies for kids. We had lunch, and at the end of the day had a light dinner because lunch was so filling and good.
(5)Jason K.
Nice vibe when you first enter the building...you feel like you are walking into a log cabin/ski lodge. The service is fairly friendly. However, for a brewery, you only have a choice of a scant four beers. The pilsner was pale and light, but more bitter than I like. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as advertised. The beer-battered onion rings were some of the worst things I have ever willingly put into my mouth. Though they were piping hot, they were oddly very hard and chewy (I could not even cut through them with my knife)...I suspect they were reheated. The bratwurst sandwich was strangely accompanied by lettuce and tomato, and we were given Heinz yellow mustard when we requested deli mustard! The garlic fries were of the standard battered frozen variety and were inoffensive. The chicken paprikash, rather than being juicy chunks of chicken stewed in a rich sour cream sauce perfumed by sweet and spicy paprika, was presented as a chicken cutlet paired with a strange, orange sauce devoid of any flavor. The spaetzle were ok, but rather heavier and more leaden than their competition at Vienna Bistro. One note...parking is tight in their lot...at peak times, you will have to drive over the curb and park in the adjacent sandlot.
(2)Nicolas V.
I am not a big fan of their beer. I sampled them - They sell them in shot glasses portions which is a pretty good idea - but did not love any of them. I settle for the wheat beer but that wasn't great. The food was good though. The wings were nice, so were the fries.
(3)Aimee C.
I've been here a zillion times and I always like it a lot. The service is always good, the food is always good, and the beer is always good. I would say the biggest reason I'm not here more often is the fact that they have a pretty severe lack of vegetarian options (I personally don't blame them because I happen to like meat) so it's hard to go there very often when my other half doesn't partake. Most of the time I have been here with large groups, and they are always happy to accommodate, happy to split the check, and handle the groups like champs.
(4)Becky B.
Great go-to for locals and those in the southland. Their house salad with a grilled chicken breast is amazing.
(4)dorothy f.
Ate dinner here on a one night stay in the city, we shared the Buffalo burger and the soup of the day. Of course a few cocktails and brews. The soup a spicy corn chowder was great, one of the best I ever had. The buffalo burger was also exceptional. It was cooked perfectly with bacon and blue cheese to top it off. We also had the garlic fries which were the best i've ever had. I would give those 6 stars alone. I had a martini which was just ok and a couple glasses of wine. Hubby tried several of the micro brews, said they were good but could have been colder. The decor is very woodsy with antlers all over the place, what you would expect in this part of the country. It appeared to be filled with local as midvale isn't much of a tourist town. The service was great and all the staff were very friendly. Took some pic and i'll up load them later Maybe!
(4)Juliet C.
Great waiters good food.
(4)Cliff B.
This place is top notch for authentic German food. Hands down. Ambience feels old world. Waitstaff is friendly and even had a German accent, even though I doubt all the employees do. I had the perogies with sausage and sauerkraut. That is possibly to die for, or maybe having a pinky lopped off. My wife had the schnitzel (pork) with potatoes and she said it was the closest she has had since her youth. (She spent several years in Germany as a youngin.) Oh yeah also did I mention they are a microbrewery? And that you can purchase their beer for consumption at home? They have four different types, two of which we had and they were good. Definitely coming back here if we are in the area.
(4)Justin L.
Excellent parogies and brats! A little pricey for lunch, but nice atmosphere for friends or business.
(4)Darin B.
Ahh the Garlic Burger... It's the gift that keeps on giving! Been here a few times, and I have yet to try the house brewskies! Will have to do that someday! But I have a favorite menu item here at Bohemian, and that is the Garlic Burger! This is a 1/2 lb, cooked to order, fresh onion bunned, cheddar cheese melted, and bacon topped burger that is quite possibly one of the best garlic burgers I have ever had! The "Gift": Now let me warn you... this burger comes with side effects. You will burp this bad boy for a few hours! (for me over 8 hours). So if you need an excuse to get away from your woman, because the stench coming from your pours and mouth is... well... tasty all over again (for both of you... ewwe OK I'll stop now), you have found your burger! But if you like your mate, shall I suggest you both get one so you can offend each other equally! Why not a 5 star? The desert! First time with desert here, and I had the Chocolate Lava cake. There was nothing lava about it, or luke lava (hey that is a fun name... Luke Lava!!!) (whoops, side tracked again, back to the story). When I hear Lava Cake, I think warm cake with a gooey hot chocolate sauce with maybe a dollop of vanilla ice cream. NOPE, this was cold, and the texture was more like mousse. Was not a fan... but I ate it anyway. (It was my birthday desert after all). Others at the table had crepes that looked much more delicious. But seriously... everything I have had to eat here is pretty good. They even have calamari... (like I would eat that)... but others really dug it! Prices are average for this type of joint... the decor inside is warm and inviting, and the staff is very nice and attentive to my constantly empty glass of diet soda! (damn, think what my bill would be like if they filled me up on beer at the rate I drink soda!) Will I be back? Heck yeah! And one of these days I am going to try the Bohemian Brew! Until next time I eat... Doc
(4)Michael M.
Wow... great atmosphere in a sleepy part of town. Great beer choices and quality and unique international food in a neighbor hood of fast-food joints.
(4)Sarah G.
The Bohemian is one of my favorite local restaurants that I frequent. They make a great reuben sandwich and the garlic fries are always tasty. The wait can be long on the weekends, even if you make a reservation and the last time I ate there the server spilled warm cream sauce on my jacket and ignored our table for most of the rest of the evening. I usually stick to take out- 4 stars though just based on the food quality.
(4)Dave D.
After a hard day of boarding I was craving some grub. I didn't realize that the beers are water an beer which would explain why I had so many! The food was great and the staff was friendly.
(4)Matt V.
The food was pretty good. I enjoyed my chicken but generally tasteless. The beers all tasted the same. This was my first experience with Utah beer. We went to Squatters later in the week and the beer was far superior. The waitstaff was okay, she seemed to let us linger when we ordered a pitcher of beer.
(3)Pete M.
Lured by the prospect of good pierogi, my girlfriend and I fell right into this tourist trap of a restaurant. We left, $59 dollars lighter, filled with regret and mediocre food. Our server was friendly but inept. We asked to substitute something for a Bratwurst side on the pierogi but they messed it up. We ended up with a breaded chicken (without the peirogi), for which they charged $17! Horrible. I ordered the Reuben and got a BLT. Vegetables seemed cooked from a can. The beer was good but not good enough to redeem to redeem the food. This was one of the rare cases where we considered leaving no tip. We did, though, and just put the experience behind us. In short, the ambiance was a nice change but the service poor, and the overpriced food even worse. Leave this place to the foreign exchange students and settle for a box of frozen Ms. T's.
(1)Carolyn B.
We had dinner here twice during our vacation and really enjoyed it. We tried the sampler to help us figure out what beer we wanted, for 50 cents a glass it was worth it. The Viennese was fabulous. The food was good. Quite a variety, everything from burgers to brats. The pierogi, sauerkraut and brat plate was hearty and delicious. The burgers were good and the haddock did not disappoint. We ate at the bar and found the bartender to be friendly and attentive. The last time we were here was 5 years ago. We were happy to see at the restaurant was still here and thriving.
(4)Andrew F.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Salt Lake based solely on their excellent goulash.
(4)todd s.
Great beer. Great food. Good prices.
(5)Linda T.
Great food and good portions for the price. I totally recommend getting the beer sampler if you have a large group of people. It's 50 cents for a pretty big shot glass, sharable between 2-6 people. For appetizers, I recommend the garlic fries and the cauli-cakes (cauliflower cakes). We went before dinner time so service wasn't that great. They didn't come with water until maybe 5-10 minutes after we were seated.
(5)Nick J.
Their beers are brewed by German purity standards, the food is delicious and a real value for the portions and quality. I just love everything at Bohemian. No matter what anyone believes, this is the best garlic burger in the state. Great variety of German dishes, pub food, and pizzas. I've brought in parties from 2-40 and had great service no matter how many they were serving.
(5)Dayna D.
The staff here are super friendly! This place loves it's garlic, which is a huge bonus for me! The food is alright...not the best, not the worst, but does the trick for standard brew pub food.
(3)Meg M.
Whenever we're in the area, we try to stop here for lunch/dinner. The place has great food, good service, easy parking, and a fun atmosphere.
(4)Eian N.
The food was great and the service was amazing! Ask for Fred... He's the reason I will be coming back! He was friendly and gave great recommendations on food.
(4)Kate S.
Was not impressed. The beer was unmemorable, as was the food. We ordered the blackberry brandy chicken and the steak with fried mushrooms and zucchini; the best thing we had was the zucchini. It's not bad food at all, but it's far from great.
(2)Mary D.
Have been here twice in 4 days. Great food, service and beer. Love the pub steak, spaetzle and schnitzel. Highly recommend this for post ski day indulgence! Friday or Saturdays are busiest so call ahead if have a large group.
(5)Claire P.
We were pleasantly surprised at how good this brew pub is. Had the salmon salad, which was very good. Good portion and the same was cooked beautifully. My boyfriend had the pierogies and bratwurst and loved his meal, especially the mustard! We took home a growler because the beer was delicious. Excellent service by Alex. Highly recommend. We'll be going back. Lots of TVs for viewing your favorite sports.
(4)Shannon H.
Great food! Excellent beer! Fred, our waiter, was so knowledgeable in how the food is prepared, where it came from, what spices are used etc... he was so enthusiastic about the food and his job, it made being there and eating the delicious food, that much more of a great experience! The brats are the best I've ever had. The sauerkraut which they make, is like no sauerkraut I've ever had before, incredible!! I was with five friends and everyone ordered a different meal and everyone was pleased. The Bohemian is #1 on my list of restaurants to visit next time I am in Salt Lake City!
(4)Alex G.
I have been here for a while & it was hard to decide what to get because everything looked good. I had the salmon fish & chips & it was awesome. I will definitely come back more often. The sign out front mentioned they did brunch, I am going to try that also.
(4)Jason T.
Beer is great food is better. The garlic burger is one of the top three I've had in my life and is the best in Utah.
(5)Clark J.
Wife and I went here for the first time on our weekly apps and drinks night. Decor is great and homey. Love the fireplace and log cabin feel. We were told the appetizers were half price. This is only on certain apps and I even asked my waiter if the apps were half price and he said they were. So only one out of the three apps we ordered were half price. Had I known that, we would have ordered dinner instead. Paid the same price. Please train your waitstaff properly. Crabcakes were meh. However, the tomato basil tapenade that came with it was outstanding. Wings were delicious with their home made bleau cheese sauce. Not very hot, but still good. And their signature garlic fries was well worth the price. I wanted to give 4 stars but the miss communication really made me kinda mad. I think another trip is in order to try some dinners.
(2)Jessica P.
I absolutely love Bohemian! German food and great microbrew beers - who could ask for more? I recommend trying the Pirogies & Bratwurst if you're looking for standard German fair, however the Bohemian Goulash is by far my favorite item on their menu.
(5)Rooster C.
4 stars on the food and 2 stars on the beer. The periogies and brats plate is fantastic and their sauerkraut is wonderful. Went with two friends and all of us couldn't get enough of this place, we even went back two nights later. At which time I had the meatloaf, which was also excellent. Service is good, nice environment, not too loud even though they have multiple tv's around the room. The beer is just okay. I mostly drink craft to microbrew beers, so I was interested in trying this place. All their beers are 4% abv, probably as required by some crazy Utah laws. Somehow, that really effects the flavor of the beer. I tried 3 beers, all were watery and a little flat tasting. I attribute that to the process they use to get all the beer to 4%. I'm used to 9%+ abv beer, so this was a big swing in the wrong direction. If your a beer geek, this is not your place. That said, the food alone is worth the trip and makes Hoppers food look like food court food.
(4)Tristan A.
Went here finally, after wanting to get there for a while.. i had the verona sandwich, which was delicious. my friend had something else which was even better, though both sandwiches were just a bit salty. service was fine, i liked the decor except for the stuffed deerheads, and they kept my water filled. only negative, a bit more pricey than i had in mind for lunch, but its ok for a splurge. i appreciated the nice touches in the parking lot, of all things. they planted grape vines in the chain link and put some nice trees in. Made me want to go in, and impressed me. i know, but i notice stuff like that. Don't know if I will return, a little $$$ for me, but maybe.
(3)Sabrina R.
The brew is good but nothing spectacular, with all the microbreweries in Utah you really need to do something special to stand out. The food is delicous although over salty and over greasy sometimes. The cocktails are tres cher, but what do you expect? At least they are good and not watered down. Try the bohemian lemonade.The beers here always seem so heavy, if I drink one I can't really eat my food. This is a good place for a big group, a birthday or other large party for adults. It is nice and not divey at all. It's also a very safe bet for a first date or any other date really, out of towners you want to impress but not fight downtown parking, etc.

It was group dinner night. The only place large enough to hold a big group was Bohemian Brewery. This place is kind of like BJs, but had a log cabin theme with deer antlers and animal heads on the walls. What I ordered: 01. Midori sour ($5) - 3 stars The drink wasn't strong, but still tasty 02. Halibut Filet - ($22) - 3 stars It was surprisingly tasty. The fish had a cripsy parmesan crust and it was moist inside. I didn't really care for the side of mash potatoes or veggies... nothing memorable.

Log cabin style building is certainly appropriate for such a wonderful skiing destination - Salt Lake City. Hops are plentiful around the bar as decoration and the aroma is noticeable. Food is simply marvelous. Excellent variety and quality are hard to find. IMO this is why this place has stayed in business unlike the previous 2 or 3 brewpubs that failed in this same building. 4-6 beers are brewed here, so the selection is average. But unfortunately the good points stop here. As a beer lover, this place disappoints in the area that matters most - the beer. The beers are uninspiring, especially the so-called Weizen. The bar tenders can't seem to consistently tell me what this beer is, a hefeweizen that is lagered? what? why is it so flavorless and watery? Other Utah breweries do just fine with the 3.2% law but this weizen is an exception. The Vienna lager lacks the malt and hoppy character that a vienna lager is supposed to have, and the pilsener is more of an American pils than a Czech pils (light, low flavor profile, etc.). So, for quality, I must give a low score for quality in beer - which is one of the more important criteria for reviewing a brewpub. Other incidentals are worth mentioning. The service is sometimes terrible, simply terrible. Oddly enough, the owner has hamsters and the bar often smells like cedar shavings from the hamster cage. I couldn't tolerate the smell so I said something and the bartender informed me it was the hamster cage. Hmmm. In a restaurant? They may have corrected this error since then, but I cannot go back. They have VERY conservative hours too. Don't be surprised if the door is locked before midnight, even on a Friday or Saturday. Want a beer at 9:45 pm on a Thursday night? Sorry, but they close at 10pm. So, for excellent food in Salt Lake City head over to the Bohemian. Just don't bother with the beer.

We had a living social coupon for a growler and 4 pints glasses that expired on Feb 14 so decided to check out the restaurant for dinner - yes, it was Valentine's Day! It had been a couple years since we had visited. I now know why we have not been back. We were seated upstairs - I normally don't prefer being seated upstairs (you're further away - service is normally not as good) but Porcupine does it well! The upstairs area was very drafty with vents blowing from every position. I had to wear my jacket through the entire dinner. It took a bit longer than it should to even be acknowledged - we ordered a beer and a taster. Long story short....the service was slow (even though she really did try and was very nice). The food was bland at best. We ordered nachos and the poached pear salad. The nachos and salsa had very little flavor and the salad has large (too large) chunks of brie, wilted and rusted romaine, bland blue cheese dressing (how does that happen?). We were trying to get out of there so to expedite things my husband went downstairs to order the growler and pint glasses (our coupon). The "bar tender" looked at the coupon and loudly remarked "OHHHHHHH, that is going to take a long time ---- you'll have to wait quite a while" - I wonder if she would have treated him that way if she knew we had just spent $60 in food upstairs. As a restaurant, if you decide to offer living social or groupon etc. coupons you should honor them with grace. NEVER WILL WE RETURN to this embarrassment of a "brewery"

First time at Bohemian but I think I will be going back. They have a decent beer selection and the different sizes allow you to sample a few before you commit to one or another. The only drawback I saw was they have a chocolate bock. I am a fan of stouts and bocks but when you try to do this stupid chocolate bocks or stouts or raspberry ales you just muck about with the flavor and end up with rubbish. The BLT on rye was tasty. The rye was not overpowering like a marble rye but a very subdued flavor instead which allowed the peppered bacon to take center stage with the aoli playing a strong supporting role. The garlic fries are crispy and good if a little on the mild flavored side. All in all a good place to go for lunch where the service is top notch and the food is filling.

We have been to Bohemian Brewery 2 times now. The first time was delightful, we got to sit outside on their lovely patio on a nice day. I had the garlic burger with a pint of Czech pilsener and it was a tasty and memorable meal. Our most recent trip to Bohemian we tried the potato pancakes for an appetizer. We had never had potato pancakes so I do not have anything to compare them to. They were just okay though, tasted like hashbrowns served with sour cream and apple sauce. I had a pint of Vienesse this time and enjoyed it. My entree was the chicken schnitzel and Trevor ordered the blackberry brandy chicken. . . His entree looked EXACTLY and tasted like mine, only his had some purple sauce on it. I'm not very impressed by two dishes being the exact same thing, but it still tasted pretty good and I did eat it all. I do wish there was more parking available here. Bohemian hasn't blown my skirt up yet but I will return again.

My first visit to Bohemian dates few years back and since then we went with my wife few more times. After relocating from Chicago, we were ready to go and have some great authentic Czech and German food in SLC again. Unfortunately that was not the case.Don't get me wrong, their pizza and sandwiches are great but it suppose to be Czech and German cuisine that everyone on Yelp praises that is falling way short of expectations. Brats are tasteless, chewy and I had better pierogy from freezer section in supermarket, not to mention that the whole combo of these two doesn't match well. Wife had a goulash which, I think is one of the better choices on their menu. but some great staples of Czech cuisine are missing, like very traditional bacon stuffed beef in cream veggie sauce called "Svickova", roasted duck with bread dumplings or roasted pork meat with potato dumplings and greens to name a few. And brats and very plain schnitzel representing Germany? Then there is the beer. I like the lager and Weisse but what the hell is Vienesse? I would love to say that Cherny bock is great too, but by definition of bock beer which is always higher in alcohol %, this just doesn't cut it. It's great money maker for the brewery due their ability to sell all of their beer in cans in any supermarket in Utah though. To gain some perspective to this somewhat negative review, I've spent 25 years living in Central Europe, our family comes from Austria, Czech Republic and Germany, I've ran catering business here and in Europe and know how real European beer taste like. It is like going to Olive Garden for great Italian food ( that is called a sarcasm ).

Ok, so I finally took the opportunity to walk myself, and my lagging ass (they made me leave the donkey out on the hitching post) into this place, as I've known of it's existence for about a year now. I have wanted to make time to try it since then, but due to the fact that I don't exactly live next door, I've had a little bit of a hard time, finding time to make it up to this so called Bohemian Brewery. I mean, you would think it is in Bohemia for some ungodly reason. Who knew! On with the review: So my brother came all the way from Phoenix, AZ, and made arrangements to get together with several friends that he had not seen in quite some time. I was included so I thought that there could not have been a better time to get myself up there and give this place a whirl! I was glad that I did, because once inside, I didn't have a care in the world other than having myself a good time. On with the review: So I get escorted... ok Stop! My wife was with me as well, so I must cut the strings about the escort... WE, kindly followed a nice young Bohemian Hostess, as she took us upstairs to a cozy sort of loft, kind of room, which wasn't really a room, other than it was a dining space, upstairs, which had a nice overlook of the dining area below. I'm guessing this space is normally used for larger groups, and business type meetings, and of course restaurant overflow. It was scantly decorated, and the coolest thing of all, was that there were a bunch of old, old, and older scooters lining the edges of the room. Vespa was the only brand I recognized, but boy were they cool. Some of these were things you may have seen perusing the countryside, of the Czech Republic back in the 60's and 70's. Fantastic! On with the review: First things first! Where's the Beer? I was a bit surprised to find out that they only served 4 different beers. My first thought was OMG, are you kidding me? Then my brother said they also carried a seasonal brew, which made it 5 beers on tap. Boy was I relieved, although it's a long way from having 99 beers on the wall like I had once imagined. Ok, wait, that's from an old childhood song that I often sang as , you guessed it, a child. Manifesting their "Brew Menu", the waiter explained a couple of the beer varieties to me, and the several different sizes of serving glasses in which they were delivered to your table. I elected to go with the "Manly" size! Manly, being because... Well, you know. I'm a man, what else!!! Geez! So I order up my beer, and a couple of minutes later, the waiter is backing up a crane, he had to bring in to deliver my beer. This thing was not manly at all! It was incredibly HUGE! I dropped to my knees, as it was set on the table in front of me, and all I was thinking was that I was receiving beer manna from heaven! Wow, I thought... If the beer inside of this big crevasse, is as good, as it is big, then the whole world can end outside the doors of this place, and I wouldn't care. News Flash!! -- Good news people... The world didn't end, and the better news was that the beer was damn good! So good, I drank two of the mighty "Manly" offerings. These things must have been 36 to 40 ounces each! WOW again! On with the review: So, the Space Shuttle missions are completed. Do you ever think we will go into spac... Oooops, sorry! The "Manly" beers are still effecting my thought processes! On with the review: On to the food. I don't remember anything about the food except it was really, really good. Can I get another "Manly" beer please? On with the review: To try and wrap this beer fest up, the food was really good! I had the Perogies and Brat's. Never had them before, but they were really quite good. Along with that, they served sauerkraut which was very good as well. A little different in taste than the sauerkraut you get in a bottle at your local supermarket, but very tasty, and not over powering in taste like some kraut varieties you may find. Brat's were very good as well however, I thought they could have been a little more flavorful! They were a little mild in taste than what I was expecting, but maybe that is the unique thing about this seemingly authentic like German/Czech style fare. They did leave a good taste in my mouth, unlike some other sausages I have experienced eating over the years. There was no after effect from the brat's either, which definitely was a plus for me. I did not have to make a pit stop at the Tums Factory at midnight, which BTW is directly fed into my medicine cabinet, via an underground air forced tubular supply line. OMG! On with the review: My wife had a similar dish, with Brat's, Mashed Potatoes and Sauerkraut. Her meal was just as satisfying! Say's she! You go girl! My brother and other guests were served up equally satisfying dishes from 1/2 pound burgers to salads. All looked very nice, presentation was impeccable with each, and good times ensued all throughout the evening! Thumbs Up! Way Up!

food was just ok. i didnt actually like my blue cheese steak wrap. beer was good. will go back
(3)Kelly J.
I don't know if the owner was there when we went but WOW this is a friendly place. Once we had been seated about 4 people checked in on us to see what we needed. Food was good, I didn't try the beer (went irish whiskey on the cold sunday) but I have heard it is phenomenal. Watched some football ate some comfort food!(the soup of the day was to die for) Definitely will be back.
(4)carolina g.
I loved the place. Honestly, I can't share my experience about food or beer because I was not hungry (as I read portions are too big, I prefered don't eat). I'm a traditional beer girl and I'm not too friendly with new surprising tastes because you never know if you will enjoy the beer or you will be drinking all the glass with that strange sensation of 'I should have the other one'. But I can say that I loved the menu, there were some traditional dishes based on mexican food, and some interesting and quite healthy new suggestions. I liked the music, the waitress, the pictures on the way to the restrooms and the vespa exposition upstairs. I loved it!!! I felt like been in a lodge and that feeling is always comfortable, nobody can say the opposite. It seems it was an animal slaughterhouse tiem ago... who knows... the fact is that I liked the place. It's a lil far, though, but once you are there with the right company, you forget distances. =)
(4)Randee O.
Horrible service, I wish I could give 0 stars. The first time we saw our waitress was ten minutes after we were seated. Took another ten minutes to get two sodas and a beer. My husband ordered a burger and we waited 40 minutes for ketchup (which never arrived). During this time our waitress was attentive to the three tables around us. Finally asked the manager for boxes and the check, she brought us boxes but no apology for the lack of service and we still had to wait for our waitress to bring our check. What a huge waste of time and money. Save the trip and go to a different brewery.
(1)Kelly L.
I've been meaning to hit this place up for some time and had the chance last week. It wasn't very busy on a Friday afternoon which was good because we had a group of about 20. The wait staff seemed a bit slow, but that could be because there was only one of her and a lot of us and there were a couple other tables she was taking care of at first too. I really enjoyed the beer (Weiss) that I had for lunch. I liked it so much I had to have another. I just had a club sandwich with the garlic fries. The sandwich was okay. I was surprised to have a club with only ham, but I probably should have read the menu a bit better. The bacon on it was delicious. The garlic fries were tasty, but maybe just a touch less garlic. Overall it was really good and I'll be going back, if only for the beer.
(3)Dustin H.
Great food, awesome beer. The garlic fries rock.
(5)A C.
i've been here many more times since this review. they've udpated their menu (thank you!). they still have the one waitress that is so dang rude..why does she always wait on meee?? gotta ask for someone else next time. i really like this place, though. it's a great one for most any occasion. great beer and something for everyone. you know what would be nice, though? can you NOT charge $3.50 for one lousy pierogie? ok, it's so not lousy...but seriously.. it's just dough and potatoes. DELICIOUS dough and potatoes but hey, i'll eat a box of mrs. T's for less than that and be happy! i would suggest an actual PIEROGIE entree sold at a fair cost..
(3)Ash B.
First time visitor. Very good food with great service. I ate the Chicken Paprikash which was incredible. Price is higher than the average chain by a dew dollars per plate but the food and experience are worth it.
(4)Morgan V.
Visited the Bohemian today on a lunch date. The ambiance was pretty remarkable... definitely more than I was expecting. I had the club sandwich... probably not one of their signature offerings, but quite good. Service was fine.

Great beer and food get schnizel

Stopped in yesterday for a Vienesse. Best brew in town.
(5)Jennfier C.
I love the atmosphere at this place - fun, social, perfect for beer drinking. The pilsner is my litmus test and it passed. Very lovely and really great with my Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich Ever (from the $9 lunch menu). This sandwich was delicious on light rye bread, ooozing with cheese (swiss I think), killer heirloom tomatoes and a balsamic drizzle too! It was pretty large though and too much to finish... the garlic "pommes frites" were undeniable.
(4)Diego P.
Wish it was cheaper so that I could afford to go more often. The food is great, and the service is just fine. I usually go during the week for lunch and it is never very crowded.
(4)Shawn R.
I can't believe that the average rating for this place is three and a half stars. I'll start out by saying that I don't drink, so I can't address the people who think the beer was bad, but I can sure talk about everything else. Around our table, we had the garlic fries to start, then brats & pirogies, Bohemian goulash, and schnitzel. I've had the same garlic fries before several other places, but that doesn't mean that they were bad at all. Quite to the contrary. They were straight-outta-the-fryer hot when they got to our table, and the aioli was excellent. The brats were a touch overcooked for my taste, but the flavor was just about perfect. The pirogies? Fugeddaboudit. Best I've had in the US. I ordered schnitzel out of nostalgia, and the fact that you really kind of have to try to do schnitzel wrong, and was very happy with the result. It should have been veal, but the pork was good. I had our server sub spaetzle for mashed potatoes; should have stuck with the spuds. The spaetzle weren't bad, but they were out of a box, and I was hoping for more. The Bohemian goulash was out of this world! I wished I had ordered that and an extra fork. The dumplings were perfect and the sweet paprika gravy was just this side of heaven. What I can't say enough about, though, was the service. I don't know if we got lucky, or they're all this good, or it was a particularly good night, or what, but this was some the best restaurant service I've had in years. Nothing was a problem, questions were answered quickly and accurately, we never had to ask for drinks, and we never got the "we work in a trendy, popular joint so we're doing you a favor" vibe that others have described. I went so far as to track down the GM and make sure that the excellent service was recognized. It didn't seem to be a surprise that we were impressed, so I think that's a good sign. Next time we're back in Salt Lake City, we'll be back for sure!
(5)Michael W.
Two words: Schnitzel and Beer. Das is gut! Sehr gut.
(4)Edith B.
We had a big group so I can forgive the slow service. The restaurant itself is interesting aesthetically, but...rather boring food. Veggies were overcooked, and my breast of chicken was a bit fatty (ew). Beer was biggest disappointment--rather watered down.
(2)Henry P.
Was in town for business, read the good reviews and decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. I had the glazed salmon with rice. It was hot and delicious. Service as fast and friendly.
(4)D.wight L.
Found this place on line and decided to give it a try, they brewed their own German style lagers and offered pretty authentic German food. About 6 miles outside dwntwn SLC so it's more in a suburban setting than an urban one. The interior had a log cabin feel with fireplace, hard floors and log panelling on the walls. Never been to Germany, but hey i bought it. Skied extra hard today, so i wanted something no frills and to the point satisfy my hunger type of place, and my past experiences with German food, seemed right on line. Skip the appetizers, and started with a litre of vienna style lager, bout a quart or so, then ordered my plate. Bohemian goulash (tender beef braised in a paprika sauce) was exactly what i was waiting for. Large chunks of beef, braised til fork tender, in a rich, slightly spicy sauce was hearty and d-lish! i subbed the bread dumplings for spaetzle (a german pasta-like dumpling) and that was good, as it was kind of pan fried with butter. My only "beef " with my meal is that that's all there was. Being a little more healthful these days, i wish that there were some type of vegetable to accompany the rich dish, whether steamed, roasted or even braised with the dish. It just seems to balance it a lot more, but from previous German food experiences in the past, i was not the least bit surprised. Service a bit spotty but well intentioned, and they have a nice selection of souvenir clothing to take home with your very full belly.
(3)Kate M.
We went with family and I wasn't very impressed. I didn't get to try beers, because it was not worth the hassle I would have lived through from his family about me drinking (since they don't imbibe). The spatzle was overcooked, but the garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. The meats were cooked well, but side veggies were definitely undercooked. Service was slow considering it was Labor day and they were staffed for a busy day, even though the restaurant was mostly empty.
(3)Frank B.
One of the best places to get a rueben in the salt lake area. The homemade sauerkraut is the best i'v had anywhere. The services is excellent every time I go in the owner greets me and and give me a rundown of what's new. You can tell he love what he does.
(5)Mars A.
The food is great, the beer is good. If you can make sure Pedro is your server. That dude is the best server in salt lake city I've encountered.
(5)Julie H.
I really love this place...the food is always good, Really good. I have had so many different things on the menu here and am never disappointed. I have to recommend the Ruben if you are into those or the Prague Salad and obviously a manly sized beer to go with it. I am pretty sure its a good thing I moved away from it because at one point I was coming here 3x a week.
(5)Cassandra R.
The best sauerkraut ever! Instead of being drenched in vinegar it actually has a sweet zing to it. It's amazing! Sunday brunch is great! Love the bloody Mary's and mimosas! The food has always been great! It's usually busy so sometimes it can take a while to get the food. The serving staff is not always the best, but the manager is very nice. Oh, and the have great microbrews!
(4)Kim T.
On this last visit I had the bratwurst and Pierogies. I didn't think I could find Pierogies in SLC, but I was wrong and they were good. The whole meal was! My husband loves the meatloaf. We had the garlic buds for the appetizer ... which I probably would not get a second time. Not too long of a wait and good service. One of our favorite places. Parking is not good on a busy night, though.
(4)Sally D.
Good delicious I ordered brats with sauerkraut and pierogi very tasty, my husband ordered the club with garlic fries, also very good. We both ordered beers, waitress offered suggestions even brought samples we we were not sure. The place was very clean and service was excellent. I will defiantly go back. We went about 2 on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside perfect weather .
(4)Dan M.
4 stars for the food. 3 stars for the beer (average, but good German style beers). First off, I like the style of the restaurant, looks like a German ski chalet from the outside. Parking was a little difficult and awkward (if you circle and there are no spots, you pretty much have to exit to the street without the opportunity to circle back around). The food menu has great choices. Besides the German choices of Bratwurst and Schnitzel, they have a nice selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, soup and wood-fired pizzas. Woo Hoo they have Buffalo burgers (bison beef which is low fat and tasty)! You can swap the garlic fries for any of the other sides - try the spaetzle ! The buffalo was cooked well and tasted great with nice amount of tomato and almost too much bacon (can you ever have too much bacon). The beer was fine but nothing unique. The Schwarzbier (darker ale) was my fav, and they have a nice lager and two light pilsner and Hef which are fine but not for someone who enjoys more varieties and IPAs. I tried 4 tasters ($0.50 each) of their 4 styles and it was a good way to taste your way through Germany - Bohemian style. I like this place, but wouldn't go out of my way if I was staying in downtown SLC to get here since there are plenty of options walkable from downtown.
(4)Lisa M.
I've been dying to try this restaurant and i was impressed. The schnitzel was awesome. The garlic fries were great. The beers meh. But are server was really nice. Overall a great experience and we'll definitely be back.
(4)Tyler P.
This place is nicely decorated. It feels sort of like a ski lodge. The food selection is outstanding. I got the bratwurst and sauerkraut, it was delicious! Everyone's food they ordered was delicious at my table. The beer is just ok. The service however is horrible. Not sure what was going on. It took 10 minutes to get me a CAN of beer and a glass. Longer for food.
(3)Dustin S.
Easy 5 out of 5. I absolutely love this place. Great food and even better beer. Service is reasonable and I have not had to wait for extended periods of time. I also like that I can take some beer "to-go" in a Bohemian branded growler. If I have a favorite place to eat, this is it. Only ding I can think of is the parking. It's usually pretty hard to find a spot, even when it's not extremely busy.
(4)Alexia H.
The atmosphere is fun. The food is delicious. I love this place because they serve a nice variety of food for meat lovers and vegetarians. I cannot stay away from those garlic fries!
(5)Tom A.
Really enjoyed it. Seated immediately; friendly, efficient waitress, large, diverse menu. Buddy & I both had the Bohemian Schnitzel. He had pork, chicken for me. Very tender and moist with great flavor. Substituting red cabbage for the mashed potatoes was no problem. Nice side of FRESH vegetables; not the frozen medley that many places serve. Will definitely return soon. Beer was not bad, either. Go early...business was brisk on this Tuesday evening.
(5)Rob D.
We came to Salt Lake to ski and asked a girl in a coffee shop what her favorite place to eat was. She sent us here, and man, am I glad she did The food is awesome - we had the calamari to start and it was literally the best calamari appetizer we've ever had. We followed that with the brat and pierogis and beef stroganoff - both excellent. We also sampled all their craft beer for $.50 a sample which is a great way to try them. The service was impeccable; very friendly, helpful and quick. If we are ever back in town, totally coming back here.
(5)Randy H.
Was fair. We where in a large group, and we ordered quite a variety of food from the menu. I am sorry to say that there was nothing spectacular. Steak and brats where over cooked. Fish and chips, fish was dry but had a decent flavor. Over all the food was fair, but very overpriced. Now for service this was spectacular. Our waitresses was very friendly and attentive. She even took the cake we brought in for a birthday got some candles and brought back out lit. She made the overall experience worth being there. Can't say we go back on our own. But would eat there again if someone wanted to meet there. Really only rates 2.5 star's
(3)Rod S.
I finally made it here after seeing it for so long. The deck was welcoming. It's dog friendly too. The large menu contains a lot of dishes that pair really well with the beer. They also do a nice mix of pub grub you'd expect in America as well as old World dishes. The food has a lot of nods to Czech cuisine. They will never be able to match the fresh beers of Pilsen and Budvar, nor the experience of eating and drinking on the square in Prague. However, you can taste the heritage in beer and food while not trying to just be a mimic. I should have come before this. I'll certainly be back.

Boehemian Brewery was the choice of a friend of mine, who ran the 2013 Park City marathon in Park City, UT on 08/17/2013 and I did the 2013 Run with the Horses Marathon in Green River, WY. We all met up here at the Bohemian Brewery in Midvale to celebrate all our accomplishments of the day. I had to rush it down from GreenRiver, WY 2 1/2 hours away to make it in time for a 6:30pm dinner reservation. Thankful as ever that I did make it and they haven't ordered yet! That awesome! It was a nice experience overall and we dined outside on the patio. The ambiance was nice and it wasn't close to the street, but we heard a couple of ambulances during our meal. Located in Midvale on 7200 S next to the I-15S ramp, the Bohemian Brewery was just what I needed after running around Green River, WY that day. I really wasn't thinking, but I just ordered off the top of my head and not paying attention to price. Yes folks, this place is kind of pricey, but it is good. Our server was Jordan. He was good for us. I ordered first the large beer - the green Pilsen to taste. It was a giant manly sized beer that cost $8.50. I was a bit sticker shocked, but whatever. Next, I ordered the pub steak rare. I thought that it came out a whole steak, but the presentation came out cut and drenched in some gravy sauce. This was certainly no steakhouse, but the prices tend to dictate so. It came with garlic mash potatoes and I ordered a side of garlic fries on the side. The taste was good, but not great. Thought that the portions were somewhat adequate, but could have been more generous, especially with the vegetables. Maybe they're secretly telling you you're not supposed to eat that much? Maybe, maybe not. The best part was the company and that made the pain of the day's marathon earlier in the day fade away into the Wasatch mountains. Service was good and tended to mimic fine dining, although it was just a casual affair. It felt more upscale than I thought, but then again, I over think it. The sticker shock came when I received the bill, but I should've known better. The entire experience was well worth seeing my marathoner friends whom live in and around SLC again. It was awesome. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant and brewery just because of the selection of beer and various local beers they have on tap. The prices for food can be pricey, so be forewarned. They have a private parking lot and there was ample parking, at least on a Saturday night. Not sure what it is like on a typical weekend, but thankful that there were plenty of spaces. I enjoyed myself and hope you would too. Cheers! Support local! B

Great beer. Great atmosphere. The cherny schwarzbier is awesome. Didn't have any food, but everything I saw everyone around me getting looked awesome. Just waiting for buddies tires to get done.
(4)Joe J.
Stopped in here last week for a meal on a work trip. The decor and atmosphere are pretty fun and it definitely does make you feel like you're in a Bohemian Brewery. I bet this place would be a stellar location to catch the latest Champion's League match or just any futbol in general. The food seemed slightly overpriced for the quality, but the food was still very good. I really didn't have anything negative to say other than the temperature of the place. DANG was it warm in there. I'll probably consider this place again the next time I roll through the Salt Lake City area.

We are visiting Utah and found this gem up the street from our hotel. AMAZING! great food! My hubby had a pub steak, I had a garlic burger, our daughter had mac and cheese. All with Nachos as a starter. Needless to say, we didnt finish it all! it was SO yummy! we will be going back before we end our trip to Utah

Fast friendly service. We took the advice of the waiter and ordered the blackberry brandy chicken, then played it safe with the fish n chips. The chicken was superb. The fish was good, especially like the garlic fries and slaw. The roasted garlic app was messy but really unique and tasty. Also good cherny black beer. I'll be back the next time I'm in SLC.

This is so sad, one of our favorite restaurants. I wish they would have consistency in the quality of their food! Last few times have been VERY disappointing!!!!

The food has always been fantastic and that's the main reason that I keep going back! I've never left dissatisfied... The atmosphere is pretty cool but the service is 50/50. I'll be honest when I say that I dred having Karen as my server... She has made me late to work several times on lunch breaks even when I have told her that I was on a time crunch. On one occasion she left me and a coworker for twenty minutes after she'd cleared our plates before she brought our check. I was going to give them a 3/5 but now that they switched from Pepsi to Coke... I had to give them a 4/5. Great Place with Great Food!

Went to Bohemian tonight with a girlfriend. I've never had a bad meal and tonight was no exception. Was greeted by Jason at the door and while waiting for my friend, I inquired about the special. He is very knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. To make a long story short he talked me into the special, Jagerschnitzel with red cabbage and Spatzle. I was NOT disappointed. The pork was fork tender, breaded lightly and to perfection and oh so good.The sauce on the side consisted of mushrooms (yum) in a sauce with just enough bite in the tangy flavor to make my taste buds do the happy dance. The red cabbage was mouth watering and the Spatzle oh so good. Highly recommended! Thanks Jason for talking me into the special

Gosh - I hate writing "Meh" reviews, but I really can't wax lyrical about this place. I'm not sure if I've become a pub-grub snob, or what, but they serve regular pub-grub, cooked like pub grub (ie: nothing outstanding). That said - if you need a garlic cure, try their garlic fries. You'll be sweating the stuff for days. The day we were there it was a warm spring day and they had the fire going inside. Guess where we were sitting.... yep, right by the fire. I think I came out with heatstroke. I believe the fireplace table was punishment for not wanting to sit at the small 2-seater table, in the dark, by the back door. I also prefer my Mimosa (aka Bucks Fizz to my countrymen) served in a Champagne glass rather than a small red wine glass... just sayin'.

I've been back a few times for dinner, and overall I'm still a big fan. This is such a unique treasure in this part of the valley; there's nothing else like it. When my uncle came to town (he's a beer fan) I knew this is where I'd take him. He was indeed a fan of their brews, and especially the little $1 sampler glass. Once again, I can't speak to the authenticity of the Bohemian-ness, but there are some dishes that you' won't find anywhere else. And the portions are pretty generous. I was snarfing down schnitzel and filled myself right up. Ambiance is unique. Like a European hunting lodge. With a patio. And grape vines outside. It's a thing, trust me. It's a solid bet if you're looking for something different. The food isn't exploding through the barriers of epicurean exploration, but it's not trying to. Beer. Brunch. Dinner. Do it.

My husband and I tried the Bohemian for the second time this evening. I do love the atmosphere and sitting outside today was delightful. I must admit, my husband is easy to please and he enjoyed his meal and his beers. However, my Bohemian Schnitzel was terribly overcooked and tough. I ordered the chicken, but think I must have been served the pork due to the toughness. I was only able to eat a couple of bites and took the rest home to the dog. She loved it! The mashed potatoes were good but I agree with other reviewers that the veggies were way undercooked. I had a couple of Bahama Mamas to drink. I'm a lightweight when it comes to liquor, but after drinking two of them, I felt confident that little if any alcohol was put in the drinks. Overall for me a real disappointment. I must comment on our server. He was courteous, knew the menu and was delightful.

I have been to Bohemian Brewery once before my visit today, I was impressed then and I still am today. While I was hungover and couldn't think of ordering beer today I do love their beers and buy them frequently. The building is adorable and I was seated right next to the fireplace. The gentlemen that seated us explained that they don't even own a freezer so they don't have that fake food and everything is fresh. Our waiter greeted us promptly and made sure we were well taken care of the entire visit. I had the grilled veggie sandwich and it might have just been my current physical condition but I was blown away by the combination of mushrooms veggies and the perfect amount of cheese. The fries are really good too. I want to come here for Sunday brunch soon.

This is as authentic as it gets outside of Bavaria. The schweinhaxe with red cabbage and mashed was as good as it was in Garmisch. Their beers are delectable and pair well with the dinners. There is a good selection of Weisbiers for whatever dish you get. The Spaetzl was a little dry but that was insignificant compared to the rest of the meal.
(5)Monica Y.
I love that this place is so close to my place. Brought a friend here and had a fantastic dinner. Our server was so attentive and nice! Five stars just for that. I had the garlic burger, which was amazing, and my friend had the brats and pierogies which I've also had before. It was perfect with our hefes. This is a cool place to eat, like a cabin inside.
(5)Wayne G.
Was in mid ale on a ski trip with friends, we were looking for a place close by the hotel we were staying at. Place had great atmosphere, servers were attentive and friendly. Food was good quality and value for money. Ended up coming here two nights. Both nights had the New York sirloin done to perfection, also had the Viennese lager, yum. Great pub atmosphere for casual dining experience
(4)Dustin D.
Got the new York steak. It was cooked perfectly and was amazing. Great staff. Very knowledgeable. Get there early because parking quickly disappears since they have an open bar.

Stepping into the Bohemian Brewery is like stepping into an old pub, with it's log interior, stone fireplace and rustic animal heads mounted on the walls. The contemporary artwork and the cool staff round out the old-world effect and create a hip eastern-European vibe. The Bohemian brews lagers and only lagers, the traditional way, adhering to German purity standards. Their four staples are Czech Pilsner, Viennese Lager, Cherny Bock and Bavarian Weiss, along with a small assortment of other seasonal brews which are always really good. You can get them on tap in a myriad of sizes, from pint to growler. Pro Tip: you can order "tastes" of each beer for .50 a pop. It's a great way to have a flight of beers. As for the menu, you can get all types of gastro-pub fare, but these folks are Czech. Order Bohemian food. They do a mighty fine job of it, I promise you no regrets or longing stares at your buddy's plate. I wish I got a picture of their schnitzel. It really is a thing of beauty. As it goes, I ate it so fast, that all I had to photograph was my beer, which I was savoring a bit more slowly. Delicious beer, cozy environment, fantastic brats, pierogies, and red cabbage. We've even taken "real" Germans here and they loved it.

This review needs to be broken down. Parts of our experience was awesome and some not so good. . Service: They seated us and served us fast. However, then no one checked on us to see if we needed anything. After we were served our server never came back until we were done. Both of us would have liked to have another drink while we were still eating. And when he came for the check he didn't even ask if there was anything else we wanted. Food: My husband gives it a 5 star. I give it a 3 star. I chose my entree based on the Spaetzle but it was dry and very bland basically had no taste. The pork shank and cabbage was awesome. We will go back, it wasn't that bad.

I estimate that the total caloric intake of the meal that I just consumed was 1276. First, the perfectly browned toast with a slab of real butter and grape jelly 275 calories. Then the perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs with a dash of Tabasco 140 calories. Ahhh, the main entree has arrived. Blueberry creme cheese filled French Toast fried to perfection drowned in authentic maple syrup 861 calories. Our server was awesome and kept all of our drinks full and really cared about us. I love this place! I'm off to the gym to burn this off so I can return tomorrow!
(5)Rena A.
The food is was pretty good. The garlic burger really lives up to it's name. I was happy to know that they grind their own beef here. I think that is pretty cool as it's not something you see often. Glad to find a place where I can get a medium rare burger, however; It wasn't cooked medium rare like I asked it to be. :( I do have one bt of advice for the dark haired waitress with the red lipstick. I get it, I used to do waitressing and I know how stressful it can be to deal with staff who don't quite pull their weight. However just because you complain about them where they can't hear it doesn't mean others can't hear it. Don't want to hear complaints about bad staff while I'm eating. I will be back though for sure
(3)Jason K.
Very upset! This is (was) one of our favorite places. Last night our service was terrible and contributed to 1) My daughters order being wrong; 2) Our drinks never refilled; 3) Cold food. We really couldn't understand our waitress- her accent wasn't the issue, she was literally inaudible and had the temerity in the end to give us our check and stand there waiting for me to scramble and pull out my credit card. The food wasn't up to standards either- my bratwurst was accompanied by a small ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. We expected much better because we have received much better multiple times. Very depressing to lose a consistent part of our restaurant rotation- We won't be back.
(1)Nicole F.
Their food is ggood, and the drinks are fantastic. I love the "frog water" and their chef salad is gigantic. I had their meatloaf which was a different taste than what I'm used to with meatloaf but for some reason I couldn't stop eating it.
(4)Joshua B.
I took my wife and daughter and we all enjoyed the meal. Fantastic service and very quick. Great atmosphere and kid friendly. Host went out of his way to talk to our 5 year old. Will be coming back for sure. The stroganoff was fantastic and my wife's french onion soup was perfect.
(5)Sean D.
I have eaten here plenty of times. I'm in the area having my truck worked on so I took my bike with me and rode over to eat and have a drink. The server was fine with letting me in with my bike. It's a new bike and in the 800 range, I only say this to make it clear why I wasn't ok with leaving it outside. They had a corner table right out of the way and a corner I could set my bike. The old lady who came up said I could leave it on the patio and it would be fine. I looked at her and said "the open patio". As if a criminal won't walk up on a patio that has no customers on it and steal a bike. The patio was closed down, so it was as safe as just leaving it on the sidewalk. I said I'm sorry I didn't realize it was such a big deal and that I will take my business elsewhere. I will not be eating there today or ever again. I wasn't asking to brin
(1)Joel C.
First time hear, but I am also from out of state were real alcohol rules apply... LMAO They have some really good beer, first off. The barmaid was very nice and helpful, had a big hot pretzel, it was good wish they had the Bar cheese that should go with a GERMAN bar or Pretzel... This is in incomplete review, hadn't sampled the menu.... This was dinner service, but I don't think there was anything on the menu below $10, even appetizers, and the appetizer list was meh.... Not trying to knock them, but think they can do better... I will try there food and give a updated review.....
(3)Danny W.
There is no place like it in utah. The food is great and if you go here you know that there beer is killer! I just wished they were more downtown then out in the suburbs.
(4)John S.
Landed here after a show set up day - close to the hotel and recommended by the front desk. The beer was cold and tasty, the schnitzel was a 3, maybe - I have had sooooo much better. Our server had twice the tables she should have, so the service was not good. Rustic, pretty noisy place - you can you better in Salt Lake.
(2)Hope J.
Fries are delicious, the bread and seasoned butter were also really good. Fun atmosphere, cool lodge feeling.
(4)Scott R.
I have been here many times but never wrote a review yet apparently. I have always had great experiences when coming here. Great food and of course great beer. The service is quick and super friendly. We came in on a Friday night at 7 expecting a long wait. But only waited about 15 minutes for a table of 4. I would suggest you get anything from the German side of the menu. I had the bratwurst on this trip. Oh so good with the incredible sauerkraut they make. I can't wait for my next trip back.
(4)Heimlich M.
One of my favorite restaurants. Love the food here. Great unique flavors. Neat and unique items on the menu. Not necessarily a huge focus on being healthy or low-fat... :), but awesome flavors. Wish I were in the area more often. Great fun atmosphere as well. Good staff. They need a larger parking lot though.
(5)Ashley M.
Delicious! The food was cooked PERFECTLY. The menu was wonderful and the drinks were HUGE and amazing! (I had a long island iced tea) the service was good, and the atmosphere very pleasing. I will be coming here again and again and again! You DEFINITELY NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE!
(5)Bob R.
This place is great! I am Bohemian and grew up eating this food made by my mom, grand ma and aunts. I can assure you that this place is really good! The Sauerkraut is awesome, the grilled pork tenderloin is just delicious! Their brews are off the charts! I love this restaurant and go here every time I am in Salt Lake City! If you like this type of food don't miss this place!
(4)Xinmiao L.
Damn it! They putted a spell on me! Now all I crave is their sweet creamy french toast. I cannot describe the simple but delicious french toast with words. However, you can just look at the photo I posted on their yelp page and see how yummy it looks. Also my boyfriend ordered the Verona sandwich and he enjoyed it too. I know he likes the place if he will bring his coworkers for lunch. We both had a good time maybe because we had a hip happy jolly server on that day.

Based on the interior decor, "Bohemian" doesn't seem like the best name for this place. Unable to ignore the many animal heads on the walls, "Backwoods" or "Hunter's Delight" may be more accurate. Although, "Brewery" is totally appropriate. We didn't venture too much into the menu and kept it simple with fish n chips and a burger. Our menu selections seemed pretty basic, hard to screw up, but we weren't impressed. My fish was NOT fresh. It tasted a bit too fishy for my tatste, mushy for my comfort, and the pieces were small and meager. My husband's "garlic" burger was lacking...in garlic. He eventually got to a bite with garlic in it, but that was about it for any garlic. So technically, I suppose they fulfilled their end of the deal for a garlic burger, but pretty pathetic garlic burger if you ask me. And I can probably say the same for the fries. Where they lacked in quality, they made up in quantity. I had more fries piled on my plate than I could have possibly finished in one sitting and while the fries had potential as I'm partial to skinny fries and even more-so, garlic skinny fries, both of our servings of fries were cold and stale. They had definitely been sitting out too long before they ever made it to my plate. I may go back again to try other menu options since the place seemed like it SHOULD have been decent, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon.
(2)Rachel F.
Not always the best service but the food is always great. Especially the beer. I would definitely recommend the brewery tour on the first Wednesday of the month. Drewskie the bar tender is one of the best bar tenders ever. Make sure to sit at the bar of you want great service! Love him! Drew will not let you down!
(4)Anita C.
Love the roasted garlic bulbs- so creamy and delicious. The tomato basil tapenade they come with are a nice addition. The fish & chips were amazing. The fish was fried perfectly and the batter was seasoned well and so crispy! The garlic fries were also delicious. Portions are generous, can't wait to go back and try their bratwurst.
(4)gretchen G.
Awesome lunch, good beer, great service. We will be back for the fish and chips and sauerkraut.

I took a Chinese couple that were vacationing at the Raintree Relaxation Retreat in Sandy to this restaurant because I heard it was "the best food ever!", and I wanted to introduce them to some of the local "Sweet Spots". The Bohemian Grill totally lived up to its reputation in every way! The restaurant has a very pronounced "Europeanesque" atmosphere - I've been to Bohemia in Europe and you wouldn't be able to differentiate the decor and ambiance. Almost an enchanted experience. I had the Salmon Salad which was fantastic! The serving sizes are large, you definitely get your money's worth. I'm not a drinker, but my friends both had a house crafted beer and were equally satisfied. Everything on the menu is quite original or traditional for Europe - in other words, the same named dish will be an almost entirely different experience for your palate than one you've had before at a less distinctive local restaurant. They really understand the art of spicing the food - very rich and deep, but not excessive. I'll be going there frequently in the future.
(5)Joni S.
Salmon spinach salad is amazing! Everything I've had there is great! Garlic fries & burger outstanding & of course their beer is out of this world!
(4)Tyson S.
I sat at the bar with a buddy to catch up after 10 years. We had some chicken wings, cooked to order (crispy) and they were perfect. The garlic burger/fries was also delish (you have to be ok with a lot of garlic). The beer was amazing and the ambiance can't be beat. The entire staff was professional and courteous. What more can you ask for? We arrived earlier in the evening before the rush, and it packed up quick. I'm not sure if they take reservations, I could see a possible wait if you're there during the dinner rush. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Deep in the depths of Cottonwood Heights, there lies the Bohemian Brewery! Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of their beers but i kept hearing that the food is pretty good. As you first walk in, you get the feeling that you just walked into an expensive cabin deep in the woods... which is awesome. The menu isn't huge, but it has some great stuff. They have burgers, salads and then a few German options. The first time I came, i got the brat sandwich. It's bigger than i imagined it would be, and had great flavor to it. The second time, I got the schnitzel. They have the option for chicken or pork, the waiter said chicken was better so thats what i went with. My friend got the pork and we split them in half which confirmed that its nearly impossible to beat pork. Don't get me wrong, the chicken was good and PERFECTLY fried but it just didn't quite match up to the pork. I substituted the vegetables for the spaetzle which was okay, but relatively boring. It also comes with mashed potatoes which were great. I have a hard time spending $17 on this meal, but it'll be nice to throw into my rotation every couple of weeks/months. Give it a shot if you're down in the area. They also do Paint Nite which is a lot of fun.

Love Love Love this place. The food the service and cleanliness is top notch. Always greeted and served with a smile. It's always our go to place for great food, etc. They have the best salmon ever!! Thank you Bohemian for always being awesome!!!
