Salt Lake City

About

Poplar Street Pub at 242 S 200 West is a downtown Salt Lake City institution built on a distinctive three-floor, three-bar layout. The main floor bar handles the daytime crowd, the upstairs bar opens at 6:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays (and for Sunday brunch), and the basement level houses two pinball machines and a more intimate drinking space. Three pool tables at a dollar per game, two patios with retractable sun covers, gas heaters, and misters, plus a balcony overlooking downtown round out a venue that packs a surprising amount of character into a single address.

Salt Lake's Truest Soccer Bar

Poplar Street Pub is an official Real Salt Lake watch party venue, and RSL Soapbox — the dedicated Real Salt Lake fan blog — has called it one of Salt Lake's truest soccer bars. Soccer scarves adorn the interior, the staff knows how to pour a proper Guinness, and the dive-bar atmosphere attracts the kind of fans who follow the match rather than glance at it. With 30 screens spread across the 290-person venue and 18 televisions carrying NFL Sunday Ticket and all available sports packages, there is no shortage of viewing angles. The three-floor layout means you can find your level of intensity — the main floor for the communal energy, upstairs for a quieter view, the basement for the diehards.

Beyond the Match

The kitchen serves fresh, never-frozen burgers, hand-made pizza, and vegetarian-friendly options from 11 AM through 11 PM on weekdays and midnight on weekends, with late-night pizza available until 12:30 AM Thursday through Saturday. The Sunday all-you-can-eat brunch buffet with an omelette station pairs well with morning Premier League matches. Poplar Street opens at 11 AM daily and closes at 1 AM, operating on a consistent schedule that makes it a dependable choice for any kickoff time. The fire-pit patio, unpretentious vibe, and central downtown location — walking distance from TRAX stops and other bars — make Poplar Street the kind of place where you come for the match and stay for the evening.

Crossroads Bar & Grill

Crossroads Bar & Grill

Home of the Salt Lake City Reds, a Liverpool FC supporters group founded by Anfield season-ticket holder Billy Taylor with just six members. Now averaging 30+ fans per game including midweek matches, the group fills this Taylorsville bar with Liverpool chants that startled bartender Christy Van Emmerik the first time a full bar started singing out of nowhere. General Manager John Julian reached out to the Reds after another local soccer bar closed, and the partnership has created one of Utah's most passionate soccer atmospheres. Over 70 Liverpool supporters gathered here for key matches.
