Bout Time Pub And Grub Salt Lake City

Its probably the first pub you come across as you enter the "Gateway" in the middle of the shopping area. the staff are friendly as are the patrons. The over counter meals are fairly bassic but edible. They serve a reaonable selection of beer all of low % alchohol (Utah Law). They are strict on IDs without it you will not be served and if you are from overseas your ID must be a passport..

I give this bar a 4 star overall based on mostly its location and the needs it fulfills. The local area is very population dense. It needs a bar that's open till 1 with a kitchen open till midnight. Thank you for filling that void. Number one issue with this bar is the patrons. Often guests are over served and end up intoxicated and rowdy. How the bartenders let their drunk patrons control the bar through their inability to keep peace is genuinely astonishing. Patrons are trash. Bartenders aren't much better. Bartenders often show on their face their level of dissatisfaction with their place of employment. Bartenders often don't care about quality service in any fashion. Past 11, expect terrible service. These bartenders have been beaten down from their terrible patrons on several levels, and it really shows. Been here at least 10 times, and I don't think I've ever seen an employee happy. Not once... Ever.... The reason I leave a review today as opposed to others was the way the bartender dropped my food chairs down with an attitude and expected me to pick up my dinner 6 feet to my left. Only put about 50% of the blame on her. It's very obvious she's over the karaoke crowd that showed up to drunkenly shout over their already too loud sound system. Again. 4 stars! Why? Because they fulfill a very specific need. If there were any other bars in the area with a kitchen open till midnight, this review would be noticeably more honest at about 1.5 stars.
