Boomerangs Down Under Bar — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

We had a wonderful Sunday Brunch, and why not a couple of IPAs to go with it. Susie pubs, like Irish and English pubs are common for us in Thailand, especially Bangkok and many tourists locations as well. However I was not expecting one in Salt Lake City. And to go a step further one of this authentic caliber. It's the real deal. The owner was milling about the place, seemed to be preoccupied with employee issues, I was hoping to have a chat with him as to what possessed him to open "A Pub" I the downtown district of Salt Lake City. Sunday was our only day here, we were hungry, when I feel like eating, pubs are my thing. The menu was brunch only on Sunday. No worries here, they had an excellent choice for customers. I really was enjoying their food, well done. Beers? Yes and plenty of good choices. Staff are friendly and chatty.

The pubs design is comfortable with sports channels booming. We asked to see a football ⚽ match, yes the one Americans call soccer. They switched it on for us.

Cons

Wasn't too pleased with a group of youthful types that brought in their dogs. Yes two dogs. Not sure why that was allowed. They kept petting one of them putting it up on the bar. Then another escaped and ran down the walkway of the bar near where we were sitting. It took at dump (as I was eating) very near me. Seriously! That was revolting.

One of the staff discovered the dung, cleaned it up but did nothing about getting rid of the dogs. Hmmm.

That is my only...

If you’re a brown or black person, I wouldn’t recommend this place to you. I was in Salt Lake City last week with 3 of my friends when I was stopped at the front door by the two men who worked there and they said “you’re not gonna want to go in there, a lot of racist words will be said” in a displeased way. My friends and I just looked at each other and said thanks for the heads up and walked away. It’s sad that in 2024 we still have to face racism just for existing and not bothering anyone. Of all 22 states that I’ve had the pleasure of visiting, because of this experience Utah has left a bad taste in mouth. So if you’re not white, don’t go here :/ Just let the racist people mingle amongst each other and spend your money where you’re accepted.

UPDATE: they responded to my review but their response is false. I posted about them in a UT facebook group and there are other people of color who have experienced the same as we did. Plus I just found out that this establishment hires racist comedians and it isn’t just silly situations they make fun of… it’s blatant racism and lies being disguised as jokes. You’ll definitely be uncomfortable here. So again, I wouldn’t recommend this place to...
