About Us
 Welcome to Piper Down , where you can enjoy a true Olde World Pub experience. Service here is as important to the staff as it is to the customers. It's as tangible a feature as the plush chairs – there is a sense of visiting a friend's home when you step into Piper Down. Enjoy the smoothest, freshest pint Salt Lake City has to offer, or sip one of our fine Irish Whiskeys. But that is just the beginning, sit back, relax, and allow our music to move you.
Piper Down is pleased to offer you even more comfort with our heated and covered patio. You can now sit back, relax, and have a drink while enjoying the beautiful Utah weather.
Dave and Shelli bought the building at 1492 South State in Salt Lake City in September of 2002 following preliminary approval from the City to transform the vacant Constable's office into a Pub. What followed was 14 public hearings, appeals and endless red tape. Their hands were tied until they finally won their permit to begin work in January.
 Their troubles were far from over. A local resident fought every part of the building process, appealing every approval they received from the city. As the final insult, the City scheduled their final appeal on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2003. This meant they would have to wait an entire year for their first St. Paddy's Day in their new Pub. They won that frivolous appeal as easily as all the other ones. Lastly, they sailed through the State hearing which granted their liquor license immediately, effective March 25th, 2003. This was Piper's opening night!
Dave and Shelli would like to thank all of their friends and family who helped get their dream of an Irish Pub off the ground. Some of you were here with Dave swinging hammers, others attended public hearings and others drank a lot of Guinness. They thank you all! Cheers, Piper Down. |
