A Bar Named Sue — Restaurant in Millcreek

I have loved this bar since the first time I set foot in it. Literally, I love that nostalgic retro air that assails me every time I return (fans of the TV show "Cheers" will certainly agree with me since, once you open the beautiful solid wood door, a staircase that turns downwards welcomes you in all its beauty, because the walls, full of memorabilia and richly decorated, immediately give you the idea that you are entering the right place). Lovers (like me) of Johnny Cash will be pleasantly surprised by the way in which his immense figure is honored in this bar (but I don't want to spoil too much and I want to leave the pleasure of discovering how it is new, potential, customers). Immediately after the staircase, a more than friendly (and fair) age check takes place and if you have forgotten your ID, kindly but firmly you will be asked to leave the place and possibly return with your document: rating? Excellent, of course. Once inside you will discover that there are two rooms: one, very large, with a classic counter and stools, many tables, spaces with games on the theme of "bar", a corner with sofas, a stage for evenings with live music and/or karaoke, numerous televisions for lovers of all sports and, why not, also for lovers of cinema or TV shows; the other room, divided by a very small hallway from the main one, is entirely dedicated to games such as billiards, ping pong, darts and more (including the possibility of requesting classic board games). The choice of beers (on tap, in bottles and in cans) is so wide and sophisticated that you will hardly be disappointed, as well as the list of spirits and cocktails that will not make you regret being there. Personally, over the years I have been able to try practically everything on the menu and I can assure you that everything, absolutely everything, from the sides to the opulent and immense burgers, is more than excellent and plentiful and it is difficult for me to specifically indicate which one I prefer: the Big Sue and the Whiskey Fungus are absolutely worth trying, as far as burgers go, the Sloppy Sue and the BLT, as far as sammiches go, the Philly Steak Salad and the Buffalo Salad, as far as salads go, the Ms. Sue’s Mac’n’Cheese and the Cast Iron Chili (with the Half and Half option, where you have the opportunity to enjoy them together) are simply delicious and even the brunch dishes are absolutely worth trying, Sue’s Breakfast and the Rise n’ Shine Burger at the top of my preferences. Everything is absolutely home made (sauces included) and, as I mentioned before, the portions are much more than plentiful. The staff, from the host to the bartenders and waitresses are perfectly professional, kind, friendly, discreetly attentive to your needs and more than adequate to the style of the bar. A treat for lovers of the genre, cigarette vending machines. The bathrooms, always clean and functional, are worth a visit if only for their more than spot on and picturesque way of being furnished and intelligently placed at the back of the place with a long corridor to access them that does not let any, possible but never present, bad smell reach the room. Last, but not least, a very pleasant surprise is given by the security personnel: discreet and prepared staff always monitor the safety of customers, actively, intervening promptly if necessary, and passively, in the event that a customer is unable to return safely to their home, kindly but firmly inhibiting the use of their vehicle and calling an Uber/Lift, judiciously and sensibly preventing, 100%, any type of accident that may involve the customer and/or anyone on their return path: simply admirable. So, I have no trouble indicating the Bar Named Sue as a milestone in the local hospitality business that cannot be missed at least once and I guarantee it will not be the last, indeed... as far as I'm concerned it is and will always remain at the top of my top ten of American Bars that I usually frequent and I don't think it will ever be replaced by others.

This is hardly a bar worth going to, I'm afraid. Unlike many others in SLC, this hasn't anything special to make it better. The atmosphere is confusing and strange, it feels like the place cannot decide what it wants to be, either a sports bar or a "classic" American bar. There was no dedicated smoking area either, you just went out front, in the strip mall for that, and it was a place with no parking, and a ton of reckless drivers, where i was almost hit. The food as well wasn't good; i would unfortunately say that what's served at a certain unmentioned fast food chain is slightly better. On top of that, the cocktails were awful. Never had I had both a Manhattan and Mai Tai that tasted and made me feel so awful. However, there was but one aspect that i enjoyed, the waitstaff and barkeeps were polite, kind, and did their best to make sure we were okay. They helped and did what they could, and for that I'm glad, it make the night we went...

I come here every time I’m in Utah because I love the atmosphere but I think it’ll be the last time. We came here 1/20/25 and the second me and my fiancé walked down the stairs we were met by the door man who didn’t say a word and just pointed to the sign that said “checking ID’s”. Then my fiancé said to me “ oh he’s pointing to the sign” and that’s when he said “what did you just say?” And she repeated herself. And he said “ that’s what I thought” . He was staring at me trying to act tough. The attitude and ego on this guy was unbelievable. Then after all this bad experience I find out that the guy I’m playing pool with “didn’t have his ID”. He looked maybe 20 years old. I asked him I said do you know that door man and he said Yeah he’s a buddy. Needless to say we just felt uncomfortable and unwelcomed after everything so we left after a game of pool. I hope that guy changes his attitude or they...
