After reading several of the reviews, we chose to sit on the patio.  We were in town visiting our daughter for my husband's birthday.  The service was GREAT!  We only had appetizers and of course beer.  Our waitress was knowledgeable of the offerings and made some great recommendations.  We will definitely be back the next time we are in Salt Lake.  Highly recommend the French Fries, Hummus and the Fried Plantains.

Really great service, excellent ambience, and good food. Sitting in the patio is perfect in the summer, there was no wait time, and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing. I'd recommend the trout tacos, although the chips and salsa were a little bit underwhelming. More...

Talk to the waiter Paul, he has the recommendaysh, that will make you day.  I drove from Seattle yesterday, and this brought me back to life.

This is a great little local spot with a good atmosphere. This time we sat at the bar. The bar stools are actually comfortable, which is not the case in many places. The menu is small, but what they do, they do right. The pork lettuce wraps are delicious, and the burgers are great. I love the hand cut fries. They are crispy, and delicious. They feature Utah beers and spirits which I appreciate. The service has always been excellent. I wish they had some dinner specials and maybe a few higher end menu items. The patio is nice, especialiy if you want to hang out and be seen. Excellent location, but parking can be tricky. More...

Good food and good drink. Shrimp tostadas were pretty damn awesome, paired with the queso dip, made a perfect pair. I had to sample some of the brews to top off the night. I will be back to sample the rest of the menu. Service was okay, not stellar, but okay. More...

9th and 9th is a goldmine for unique finds, especially when it comes to food because I happened to wander into East Liberty Tap House. My friends and I had the chance to sit on the patio right next to a warm fire and enjoy our beer and delicious burgers. So if you have the chance to hang out at 9th and 9th, I would recommend visiting east liberty for some fun and food! More...

What a great place to go on a Friday after work. Enjoy the patio (though the seating could be more comfortable) and their inexpensive taps or a mixed drink (not so inexpensive). What I like most is that it isn't loud. You can go and have a real conversation with the people at your table and the people around you are not also part of your conversation. Food is very good--I'm a fan of their hummus appetizer and their fries. More...

ELTH is a local favorite of mine, thanks in large part to the great location at 9th & 9th, and the great outdoor patio they have. This is one of the best spots in the city during the summer to casually grab drinks with friends and have a snack.The two reasons ELTH might be a 4 star in my rating are1. the menu always seems to stay stagnant. For the type of vibe they put out, their menu should be updated or at least have some seasonal features. 2. The inside of the building is way too loud. If they just invested in a few acoustic panels, it'd make a world of difference.Love this place. More...

Really surprised by the lukewarm reviews.I used to be an avowed hater of tapas.  My appetite was enormous, by ability to share: anemic. But I've gotten older.  My metabolism has slowed, and with it, my voracious appetite.I've also learned to play well with others, or was they say in middle-management "be a team player".I loved this place.It reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants in Anchorage (Spenard Roadhouse) but with way better ambiance and way more esoteric beers and ciders.The outdoor patio area feels like you're in some fancy person's garden, love it!Service was a little slow at first, but got better as the meal went on.We got a bunch of stuff and shared, everything was fresh and delicious.

I can't say enough. This place is wonderful. I had lunch there with a friend today. The service was prompt and speedy. The food was perfect, wouldn't change a thing. The price is comparable with the food. It costs a little extra but it's so worth it. I had the chorizo fries and my friend had the cauliflower tacos. I also had the Park City nitro coffee stout which was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was really nice and we were able to talk without having to raise our voices over anything. This would be a great place for any lunch date. I'll definitely be back. More...

ELTH has the best burger and fries around, especially the fries. For people (like me) who are picky about this staple dish (do not let the fries be more than 3 minutes old), ELTH consistently delivers. The atmosphere is fun and hip, and the service is generally friendly and quick. My biggest complaint is that there was no chardonnay on the menu on my last visit. Not good! Please review your wine selection, and include this most popular variety! More...

Love the food at ELTH, great spot with a cool vibe. I've been here two times now and both times sat on the outdoor patio which is nice and relaxed, comfortable seating and the patio isn't so far away that you ever feel forgotten by your server. Food is excellent. On my first visit I had the fried cauliflower taco and a fish taco (trout). Both were excellent and I couldn't decide which was my favorite - highly recommend one of each like I did!I don't recommend having an alcoholic beverage here, however. I had 1 beer - that came in a can and it was $10 dollars (a Uinta Brewing Grapefruit IPA). That's a bit steep for a can of beer, damn near buys a 6 pack of the stuff!I'd definitely visit again.

Short review:  Tasty and well made food, interior design is quite hipstery and well put together, good music and service.Long review:Chips & Salsa- the salsa was delicious hot and balance flavours, the chips was hot, fresh, well salted and very crispy but the taste of the chips was alittle plain .Hummus- small but quite tasty, as an Israeli i am use to the way ppl make Hummus in Israel whice is very different, but i do respect the interpretation having said that i think the Hummus was alittle grainy and sour to my taste and the Pita bread was made too much as a Tortilla and too less as a Pita whice means more even browness than spots of browness in Tortilla.Pickles- a bit small even for a 3 dollar dish, taste wise it was ok, the Turmeric Cauliflower was a nice touch and a good combo, it did look like the  pickles was alittle dry as the plate was made before order.Veggie Burger-Tasty patty and great fries, the patty was crispy and had great flavour, i am not sure tho that  burger is right way to go with this blend they use for the patty, maybe use the this blend as Falafel on top of hummus and burnt green pepper with some hotness addition, because the buns and all of that burger responsibility does not compliment this nice patty, the fries were crispy outside and soft inside and the taste was great also.They did charge 1 dollar for testing beers without say something about the charge before, which is lack of class imo.Overall we had a nice experience with good food and service, i really like the music and music volume, even tho i think they should make some food tuning in terms of balance and kitchen philosophy, this place is good and i would recommend it.

We went here last night for a relaxing night out.  The patio was full at 4:30 so we sat in the bar and had a drink while waited about 15 minutes for a table.  While I appreciate the unique cocktails, I'd also like to see a few reasonably priced more traditional ones on the menu.  When we moved outside we ordered 4 small plates to share:  lettuce wraps, garlic hummus, split pea falafel, and chorizo fries.  The garlic hummus was flavorful and served with 2 smallish whole flatbreads.  The falafel was delicious and was the hands-down favorite.  They had so much flavor that I didn't even use the dill yogurt sauce they came with.  The chorizo fries were really good overall, but the chorizo was pretty bland.  The lettuce wraps were the only thing we didn't like.  The pork was a little salty and the daikon radish was really overpowering bc it's diced fairly large.  Our service was great and the patio was so relaxed with a nice mix of mostly 30 and 40 somethings.  And to the reviewer who is bummed they don't allow dogs...I am a dog owner and love dogs but I like the no dogs policy.  Some people have serious phobias and allergies and they should get to enjoy this chill patio, too.  Just my opinion on the matter.

came here tonight for dinner and all i can say is wow! best dinner we've had in a little while, my husband and i were both extremely impressed by this cute place. we arrived around 8:00 pm, hostess asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, we chose outside since tonight actually had some perfect weather. she asked to see our ID's, we didn't realize that this place was labeled as a bar. i had to walk back to my car to go get it, while I did so she cleared a spot for us outside, which was nice. the whole staff seemed very friendly and on top of things, our server included, he constantly came to check on things, refill waters, etc. we ended up sharing the loaded queso dip as an appetizer and added the pulled pork/black bean puree. it cost like $4 extra to do so, but it's absolutely necessary in my opinion. we both ordered the smoked trout tacos, i got chips and salsa with mine and my husband got fries with his, we both loved them! by the time we paid and tipped, everything was $40, which is a great price. we will definitely come back!

Disclaimer: I haven't been to the restaurant (but I will go soon, now that I've tried the food!). ELTH is participating in a lunch order program at the building where I work. They offer a couple of menu items once or twice a week, we pre-order a couple days in advance, and then pick up the lunches. I got the lentil salad today. When I ordered it, I tried to add the pulled chicken thigh but the website was glitchy, so I asked if I could buy chicken to go on it today when I picked it up. The guy managing the lunch distribution quickly added chicken for me and didn't charge me. He was so friendly and efficient, and the salad was delicious. Fresh veggies with perfect bite and texture, juicy chicken (I love that it's thigh and not breast meat--so much more flavorful), delicious dressing. The lunch option here is a half salad and it was still good-sized. I now plan to visit the restaurant soon! More...

"ELTH" is a nice place to duck into to have drinks and sample from their food menu. They have a nice outdoor patio which is really relaxed and nice to hang out on.  We have been frequenting this place for over a year now.  That said, while it is still a nice place, the menu has become so boring as it rarely offers anything new.  It's a small menu to begin with so we have made our way down their list too many times already. We'd love to go their more often but they just seem so STUCK in offering the same dishes almost year round.  We often say "oh lets go grab a beer and a bite at the Tap House" but now reconsider and usually don't go because we can't bring ourselves to eat their same food AGAIN. As of July 1st they have now reclassified themselves as a "bar only" (still have the same limited food - ha!) due to Utah's whacky alcohol laws. So no persons under 21 allowed any longer.  Too bad as it was great casual place that was easy to bring under 21's . No more.So please - Management Please Listen - update and EXPAND your food menu - so many of us would come back!!! More...

The food, drinks, staff and ambiance at this restaurant tap house is awesome! Located in the hip 9th & 9th neighborhood, ELTH staff warmly welcomed my husband and me and seated us in the chic Danish-inspired dining area. With one wall all windows, the restaurant is light and inviting.   Both sounded good so started the meal with the queso dip and house made chips AND the chorizo fries--INCREDIBLE!Followed with a baby Romain salad w/shaved vegetables, beets, hazelnuts & feta--WOW! Hub devoured their famous elk chili. Large plate was trout tacos, an inventive and truly delectable dish! Hub was VERY happy with his mouth-watering tap house burger. You can tell the difference with the fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, and she explained ELTH's commitment to excellence in food, drink, and service. As requested, the bartender mixed a refreshing and delicious version of a mai tai for me; hub enjoyed a local brew on tap.  We will definitely make this a regular stop... thank you ELTH team ! #ELTH #freshandlocal #fooddoneright #warmandinviting #ninthandninth #thankyoumackenzie #willbeback More...

First time there. Didn't know what to expect.- Nice outdoor seating area.  - Friendly service.  - Everything we ordered was very tasty (5 different menu items). All five were excellent. That doesn't happen that often, in my experience. Even at well reviewed restaurants it is possible, even likely, to have one dish that is not up to the same standard as other items. I see some reviews from earlier in the year, thought the food quality was not always consistent. But, It looks like they may have a handle on that now. On this trip, everything was excellent.- We'll be back! More...

We stopped here for a quick lunch on a Saturday at 11:30 am. No wait at that time which was great the place was much more crowded when we left. I tried the baby romaine salad and added the chicken thighs to it. The Romain lettuce lettuce was crisp, cold and fresh and made the perfect house for all the pickled Veges, hazelnuts, olives and feta. This is a really flavorful salad. My friend requested no beet so they gave us both no beets even though I love them so that was the only disappointment.  We also split an order of fries and they came with both aioli and ketchup and were really good. Good service and a cute spot. We didn't try a beer or cocktail but the list looked good.  Sit outside of the weather i right and enjoy! More...

East Liberty Tap House has filled a need for a good neighborhood pub style restaurant in Salt Lake City's 9th and 9th neighborhood.  Tucked tightly into the west end of that commercial district, there seems to be little off street parking available; luckily we found a spot on the adjacent street close by.  The  contemporary somewhat spartan decor is simple and functional, with plenty of outdoor seating on the lively front patio.  To avoid a 1/2 hour wait, our group of four took indoor seating in the front area  without a delay.  An array of beer and wine was offered, I chose a special brew being featured for Gay Pride Day, and later had a sour from a different local brewery.  My wife had a rose wine, which she said tasted like fizzy punch, not the dry complex rose one would expect in this post pink Zinfandel world.   The food choices are simple, mostly burgers, featuring lamb and vegetarian choices in addition to beef.  The fries were really tasty and the burgers quite good.  I had a lamb based sloppy joe, pretty good, but not fabulous.  I don't know how it could have been made better, it just didn't do the trick that night.  We didn't try the deserts so I'll have to save that for another time.  It was trendy and a bit on the pricey side, but, for a decent dining experience in a popular place,  that's to be expected.  I'd be happy to revisit the venue for a simple burger based dinner at a future date.

One of my favorite spots even though the food can be hit or miss.  I love the ambience and drinks!  Best in summer on the patio, but the indoor area is nice too (seating is uncomfortable).  Hip/trendy.  Can be VERY busy.  Burger and fries are always a win.  Inventive cocktails and wonderful beer selection.  Go with a friend to catch up!  Get buzzed on your drinks and walk it off around Liberty Park afterward in the evening or afternoon.  You'll surely leave with that "I'm living my best life" kind of feeling after.  Good vibes!
