Ox and Hound British Pub

Ox and Hound British Pub is Downtown Salt Lake City's most authentic British-style pub, occupying a ground-floor location on Market Street and drawing a loyal following for its extensive beer selection, convivial atmosphere, and honest British and American pub food. With more than one hundred beers available on tap and in bottle, Ox and Hound commands one of the largest beer lists in Utah — a notable distinction in a state with historically restrictive alcohol legislation. The tap list spans British cask ales, American craft IPAs, Belgian Trappist imports, German lagers, and rotating seasonal options, and the staff are knowledgeable and happy to guide selections. On the plate, the kitchen produces dependable British pub classics: a Scotch egg made to traditional specification, beer-battered fish and chips served with malt vinegar and mushy peas, and a shepherd's pie that simmers under a golden mashed potato crust. The Sunday roast, available through the afternoon and early evening, draws an expat community and local Anglophiles who find few comparably faithful versions in Utah. The dining room is fitted with dark wood paneling, brass fixtures, and mounted televisions that broadcast live Premier League football, rugby union, and international cricket — making it the primary sports-watching venue in SLC for British sports fans. The atmosphere shifts from relaxed lunch crowd to louder sports-watching mode in the evenings and on weekends; it is not a quiet dinner destination. Kitchen hours run late by SLC standards, with bar service extending past midnight, which is unusual for the city center. The pub's welcoming format and comprehensive beer range make it a natural gathering point for groups.
