Very nice restaurant with good beer. Not a big selection, but what they do have is very good. I’ve been there a few times and the food was consistently good. The best garlic fries I’ve had.....

First visited summer 2004. 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 places that failed in this same building. The Czech owner was often on premises as well as his spouse. Very friendly atmosphere during the evening hours prior to closing. 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 Hefe-Weizen which is actually a lager, according to the bartender. 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 in the back 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. So, for excellent food in Salt Lake City head over to the Bohemian. Just don’t bother with the beer.

Nice little place. Only four beers on the menu that I saw, a pils, hefe, bock, and maybe a lager not sure. I settled for the Cherny Bock nice beer (will do a review on it). Me and a friend were BSing and have our drinks. My drink was getting a little low, I guess the waiter saw this and came over and told me if I wanted another drink I would have to buy something to eat. This shocked me, since I was never told this before, pissed me off really. My friends and I just spent $60 on Korean so we were not hungry. Not many people were there, so it was pretty quite. We had our drinks and left. Not sure if I would recommend this place to anyone so YMMV.

What an awesome place. It’s only about 3 miles from my house, so I’m lucky. A big old Czech style cabin with some cool decor. The service was very good, and the food was just great. A ton of authentic Czech food. All four of their regular beers were there. A fun place for sure. Good beers and great food. Also, the prices are good.

Great Utah Beer Run – Summer 2007 An old sporting good store from once when I was younger I used to visit to buy football equipment. Now turned into a German restaurant was a good fit. The beer was old German feel and taste - 4 different styles. The food was pub faire at best nothing too special. The Bartender was an old acquaintance from my past with living in Utah. It was good to see you again Chris. Not bad for stop 2.

Bohemian for the most part concentrates on old-world, eastern euro beer styles. They’re main staples are a Czech Style Pils, a Bock, Viennese Style Lager and a Lagered Wheat. One in a great while they’ll come out with a good seasonal. They did a Dortmunder a while back that was quite tasty. The food is pub fare with an emphasis on German/Czech fare. The entire building is constructed of logs which gives it an old world feel. Staff is friendly and service is good.

June 2003, at the site of the former Avalanche Brewing Co.: This is a suburban attempt at a Bavarian gasthausbrauerei. They had 4 "OK" beers available, none of which were anything special. They had pretty good appetizers and the staff was very friendly and attentive.
