Brewvies

04/26/2007 Posted by slchels

I love Brewvies! The first time I went, I was hooked! They're always getting new movies, and most are really really good. Most the time it's the movies I meant to see in the theatres but didn't get to in time. Right after they leave the big expensive theaters they are played at Brewvies!!! And how can you beat a movie and beer AND food (if you so wish)? And they seem to pick most of the best new movies! Some of their foods aren't the greatest ever, BUT their pizza bread is amazing, and the portions are HUGE! Nachos are good, hummus is great and of HUGE portions (as is everything really), potato wedges are good, various burgers and sandwiches are good, salads are large and amazing. I wouldn't suggest their brewvies burrito or most of their soups though. Perhaps just my opinion, but bleh. I've also noticed over the past many months, they've gotten friendlier staff. Used to be not as friendly, and now it's like everyone's your friend! Kind of like on Cheers, but with movies and better lighting! :) Did I forget to mention the pool tables? I believe there are 4 of them, and on certain days and times, pool is free! 2 arcade machines, a nice little patio to smoke on if you need... nice little table area in front of your theater seats to set your beer and food on.... I could pretty much live at Brewvies.

Pros: Great prices, lots of beers on tap, friendly staff, large menu, large portions of food, great new movies!

Cons: a few of the foods are below average.

I ordered soup at this place and there was a dead fly in it. Most of the servers give poor service and have been rude 8 out of the 10 times I've been there in the past 6 months so you can't say I didn't give them a chance. The food is generally bland and a lot of their beer on tap is never in stock every time I've gone. You can see the same movies at the Sugarhouse Movies 10 for $1 instead

Excellent place to watch a movie with NO KIDS, NO BABIES! I won't even consider going to another theater. Great value, great leg room.

Pros: NO KIDS/BABIES, Lots of leg room, Beer!

Cons: service, lines

Full selection of Uinta brews. Try the Scorpion pint. At $5.50 it is a great beer for the movies!!!

Pros: Legroom in theater, Tables in theater, $2.00 matinees

Cons: theater seats, no smoking

We just discovered the place and we love it. The food was decent and it was great to get real food to take into a theater and wash down with a cold beer. Speaking of the beer, I'm totally picky about what beer I like. I only like a Heifweizen and they actually had one! and on tap!! Also, they knew enough to serve it with a lemon slice just like it should be served. They also had Guiness on tap so my husband was happy too. What more could we ask?

Pros: Good beer, Good movies, Friendly people

Cons: , Bar area-smallish, In downtown SLC

I have been going to Brewvies for years and have (almost) never been dissapointed. The staff have all been there for years and thank god, are down to earth, real people. Although they continue to tinker with the food, the menu always has something for everyone and the movies are great. The environment is relaxing, comfortable, and diverse. The pool tables are often free and the digital music is usually good (except when they play butt-rock!)

Pros: Good food, Good movies, Good service

Cons: Menu changes, Increased prices

Its a great concept, but the food is consistently poor. Have a beer and watch some good flicks but avoid the food.

Pros: concept, good movies, beer

Cons: terrible food

This place is fun. Movies, Food and Beer. I've been a few times and had a lot of fun. It's not fine dining but the foods not that bad. One this is missing though... Bohemian on tap! What's up with that?

Pros: Movies, Beer

Cons: Selection, Seating

What a great place -- an oasis when you long for being outside of "typical" Utah. The staff is friendly, and the quality of the bar-food menu is consistent and fresh (try the onion rings). There's a good selection of beer.

Pros: Unique, Friendly, Not too expensive

Cons: TVs located in Bar

This is a concept that not only is ingenious, but given the Utah culture/laws, is reason to celebrate. The idea of beer and food casually consumed while watching a movie isn't odd except for the fact that you're not doing it at home but in an actual theater! The beer and food are both good, not great. The movie selection is offbeat and often independent oriented. Service leaves a bit to be desired, but I'm getting used to that in this town. Also, be forewarned that there is definately a crunchy, pseudo-hippie, leftest vibe here which often means people taking themselves way too serious. My advice: concentrate on your date, the beer, and the movie.

Pros: Concept, Movie selection

Cons: Hippie crowd
