Let’s recap the memories at your favorite Bout Time with friends, coworkers, or total strangers who became your game-day crew, and raise a glass to the food, flavors, and moments that make Bout Time one of the best sports bars in Utah. From the dishes you couldn’t stop ordering to the drinks you raised high after every big play, consider this your official year-in-review of Bout Time favorites 2025. 

The Bout Time Dishes Craved Most in 2025

Utahns have opinions—and this year, your taste buds spoke loud and clear. Between recommendations from our excellent staff to long-time customer favorites, these are some of our scratch-made menu items that kept coming out of the kitchen, no matter the night, sport, or season.

The Chubby Melt

Tried-and-true classics are fan favorites for a reason, and the Original Chubby Melt™ is no exception. We start with a juicy ground chuck beef patty hand-formed to ensure maximum flavor in every bite. Then we add melted cheese, grilled onions, and Thousand Island dressing, all delivered between two Parmesan-crusted grilled cheese sandwiches. It’s a hearty meal that will keep you going through an entire day of gridiron action.

Wings for the Win

No shocker here: wings remain untouchable. Spicy, sweet, crispy, saucy, however you like them, our wings are a menu staple and an event of their own. Pick your style (extra crispy, savory smoked, or boneless), then sauce them the way you like them. They’re wings your way, and the choices are mouthwatering.

Brunch Favorites

If there were a league for brunch, ours would be the defending champs. With college and NFL football dominating the weekends much of the year, we fire up the kitchen early so fans can fuel up before kickoffs. The brunch menu is stacked with favorites: hearty biscuits and gravy, fluffy omelets loaded with your favorite fillings, huevos rancheros that bring just the right amount of heat, and decadent Monte Cristos in shareable formats. 

Sips You Couldn’t Get Enough Of

Bout Time is as much about the cold drinks as it is about the hot games. From your favorite local Utah beers (many on tap) that are perfect for celebrating last-minute touchdowns or coping with a brutal overtime, our drafts quench your thirst.

We’ve also got plenty of spirits to keep yours high. Kick off the weekend with a Bloody Mary or mimosa with brunch, a cocktail for fans who like a little kick between plays, or sip whiskey straight or on the rocks for something simple, strong, and reliable (much like a great quarterback). And for the designated drivers and weekday regulars who still wanted something fun in their glass, spirit-free, zero-proof cocktails are made just for you. 

Events You Showed Up For—Loudly

2025 gave us everything: unbelievable shots, unexpected upsets, hometown rivalries, and moments only made better by a room full of fans erupting in unison. Some of the standout events included:

Basketball Madness

From Utah Jazz buzzer beaters to wall-to-wall March Madness brackets, basketball fans arrived in lucky jerseys to fill tables long before game time. 

NFL and College Season Kickoffs

The first kickoffs of fall are essentially holidays at every location of Bout Time. This year’s turnouts were one of our biggest ever, complete with a couple of new venues to choose from.  

Hockey and Soccer Scored

Our game-day crowds for RSL and Utah Mammoth matchups weramongof the most electrigatheringsts of the year.

Cheers to a Crowd That Made 2025 Unforgettable

When people say Bout Time is the best sports bar in Utah, we always say it’s because of our customers. Some come for the food, the drinks, the camaraderie, or the game itself, but everyone collectively made this year one for the books.

Here’s to another year of scratch-made food, cold drinks, and the best sports fans around. Bring on 2026—your table’s already waiting!
