Shades SLC Brewery & Pub

Shades Brewing didn’t start with a taproom or a marketing plan. It started in a garage, with a few tanks, some stubborn optimism, and a belief that craft should mean something. Now, in our first brewpub in Salt Lake City, we’ve built a space for people who work hard, care about what they drink, and know that good things take time. If that’s you, pull up a chair. With craft beer brewed on site, scratch-made pizza, burgers, weekend brunch, and cocktails that actually impress, we’ve built something that’s anything but ordinary.

Right on the new 300W bike path, our dog-friendly patio is perfect for a sunny brunch, a cold beer after your ride, or a laid-back night with friends. We’re 21+ — a space to enjoy great beer, great food, and great company.

If you’re looking for outdoor seating, pizza and beer, or a local brewery that does things differently — you’ve found it.

Hours: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM M-Th 11:00AM-11:00PM Friday & Saturday, 11:00AM-9:00PM Sunday Brunch Served Saturday and Sunday 11:00am - 3:00PM.

Address: 1388 S 300 W #400, Salt Lake City UT 84115


Take The Good Stuff Home

Not every moment happens at the bar — that’s why we offer our freshest beers to go. Whether you're heading to a backyard hang, a post-shift wind-down, or just your favorite chair, you can bring Shades with you. The beers change often, because freshness matters.

We’re brewing on site, right here at our Salt Lake City Brew Pub. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just small-batch brewing, bold flavors, and a variety that's as wide as your imagination.

Whether you're into crisp lagers, hop-forward IPAs, or experimental brews you can't find anywhere else, you'll find something that speaks your language. Our team brews with heart, precision, and a relentless drive to create craft beers worth gathering around.

Fresh. Local. Unexpected. That's Shades.
