Inside ’s Sugar House location, the neighborhood’s newest hangout spot, you’ll find many relics of Salt Lake’s past. Doors and furniture recovered from the now-shuttered Garage on Beck, a stately brass chandelier from a downtown theatre, vintage signage from Shingleton’s Sewing (the building’s previous occupants) and even a 54-year-old Shingleton’s receipt that fell out of a wall during recent renovations.

“I knew it would be a neighborhood bar, but I didn’t realize just how neighborly it would be,” says Andrew Dasenbrock, owner and CEO of Kiitos Brewing.

Since the doors opened last autumn, Andrew has seen friendships formed between bar patrons that strike up a conversation only to realize they’ve been living on the same street for years.
