The Cellar Pub

My husband and I came here for dinner and a few drinks on a Wednesday night in June. We ordered the steak salad and special of the day, which was chicken pesto- not food you would expect at a PUB. It was very good food; the special could have been a little bigger portion and I maybe could’ve used more dressing but the flavors and quality were great. Our server was really friendly and helpful. Saw a couple large groups and one with kids, so they’re allowed here. Atmosphere was “sporty historic Cellar- lol”- clean, relaxed and comfortable, and we felt the prices were very reasonable for this town. Come take a visit if you enjoy a strong drink and food different than your typical fried bar fare!

Love, love, LOVE everything about this place! Stumbled in here on a rec and met Amanda and Brennan our first night. They are so easy to talk to and make fabulous drinks. The food is excellent. Don’t sleep on the steak salad, trust me! Also loved the lamb slider & fish and chips. We probably have come here weekly during our month long stay. Thanks for having us and such a cool spot Kitten!

Our new favorite secret in Ketchum. We're gatekeeping this from our extended family, so it remains cool. Loved the food, loved the atmosphere, loved the overall vibe. We showed up earlier in the day with our big group and they were able to accommodate all of us, no problem. I'm super impressed with how fast all the meals were made and they came out so fast for our big group. Amazing food. Loved the poor man's surf and turf. The fish and chips rivaled ones I've had in PEI. Mashed potatoes and gravy will make you cry, in a good way. This is what pub food is supposed to be like. Very kid friendly earlier in the day too. Staff was amazing and friendly. Love this place. Go for the food, vibe and to unwind. 10/10 love it and you will too.

Wonderful food and service. We had the shrimp specials, flat iron steak and a Caesar ahi tuna salad. They had a nice selection of beers and they Smithwicks on tap! Brittany the waitress was terrific!!!

Really good vibe, service was great, and the food was yummy. The Onion rings are the Best in the Valley! Updated- fries and chicken strips are good, bartenders know what they're doing.

Great little pub with good food. Gets busy in the evening! I came into Ketchum to escape the heat from the Idaho Valley in early July thinking Ketchum wouldn’t be too crowded being a resort area in the summer, but I was wrong! The town was packed, and so was The Cellar Pub. This was a super nice spot since it was underground and was one of the best places in town to cool off at. I ordered the Bangers & Mash with some cider and they were great! I’d definitely stop back in again if I were in the area

What a wonderful place. The staff is friendly specially Brian. We did not have food (other than snacks) but the people around us seemed to be enjoying their meal

A sun valley great. We had wings, ribs, the chicken sandwich as well as the fried fish and of course beers. All were freshly made, came out relatively quick and very tasty.

Quite unique location below the street level on Sun Valley road. Great spot for good food. Excellent Cocktails. And a great spot to watch games all week long. One of the coolest spots in our town.

I didn't like the meal I chose, BUT, that's on me. French fries were delicious and beer was tasty. Staff was friendly, personable, and made a point to shout goodbye to us from over the railing as we walked away. Will visit again!

This was a solid place to come for dinner! The food was good, and I loved the vibe. I ordered a beef slider and a side of mashed potatoes. The slider was a good way to get a little taste of burger without getting the whole thing. The mashed potatoes were a little bland, but the gravy was good and had enough flavor to offset it. The portion size was huge for just a side of them! Overall I'm glad we came. It's a fun place to come in a ski town!

This is a fun place to go in Ketchum. The drinks are stiff and I would recommend the fish and chips. There's a great bar scene on the downside. It's a little dark since it's in the basement of a building, but they do a good job with it. Friendly staff efficient service whats not to like? Just go expecting that this is not a fine dining institution, but is more of a pub, and you'll be all set

Can NOT recommend this place enough. Which a solid spot. Burger was excellent, bar staff was top notch and service was fabulous!

Great tomato bisque soup and grilled cheese panini's. Excellent service. A bit noisy but great locals feel.

Great food service at bar had clams Calamari and also Caesar salad all great Lots of locals discovered 44 very good too my go to place when at Sun Valley Enjoyed meeting locals and visitors alike

Great food, vibe and service. Always like to see the skis on the ceiling beams signed by the Pro's. We eat here every time we ski in Sun Valley.

We took a big crew to the cellar pub after a nice long day of skiing. The location was fun, and the server was super nice and accommodating. We had a few kids with us and he was patient with the kiddos. Anyways, the food was good, but not like OH MY GOSH good. Shrimp tacos were good, soup was YUM; and the hummus was also good. Good spot for groups too. This will be a spot we hit again next time we're in Ketchum.

With a week in Sun Valley I was looking for a place to eat some fish or seafood and the Cellar Pub seemed to have one of the better variety of items on the menu at reasonable prices and I was glad I tried it. Located in the middle of town across from the Visitor Center the Cellar can be easy to miss since it is downstairs, but trudge down the stairs and you will find a cozy, dark and welcoming dive bar. Decorated in ski town eclectic that feels well worn this is a great place to relax and unwind. The Cellar offers drink specials and happy hour pricing, but I ended up ordering the 3 piece Fish and Chips. The plate came out with 3 nice sized hunks of cod with a crunchy batter, a pile of fries, coleslaw and home made tarter sauce. The fish was very good, perfectly cooked and just slightly sweet with the fried outside hanging on to the fish. The tarter sauce was tasty and the fries and slaw were also nicely done. For the price this was a very good meal, tasty and filling. I actually think that I missed out on the evening special which was a Penne Pasta with pesto and shrimp; it looked and smelled excellent. I also talked to some other people on my trip who went to the Cellar a couple of days later and they had a great meal as well. The Cellar is well worth a visit, great dive bar, cool decor, solid service and excellent food; unless you have a issue with being underground this is the place.

Service was good. Food was good It was a very small pub Walked passed it then saw stairs going down to entrance

Excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere. The menu has a variety of great options. Tough to beat the imperial pints and shuffleboard.

We came here for dinner and drinks. I love the decor and atmosphere in this smaller underground pub. The drinks were great and the service was wonderful. The food was good but typical bar food. I would come back for drinks and appetizers.

We are Cellar regulars and this place is the best. From the owners to the bartenders and servers everyone is always beyond helpful and friendly. Great food and drinks, the most consistent in town. Ketchum and a friendly, welcoming town. We all love the Cellar. You have to try hard to have a negative experience there. Don't listen to 1 star reviews from ignorant Chicago residents (this guy seems to write only 1 stars, btw). Patrons don't wear masks in restaurants; if he's still afraid of Covid he should stay home - in Chicago preferably.

Came here after the Warfield down the block. Not nearly as finely crafted a cocktail. Loud, crowded, smelled like a downstairs basement pub packed with dudes.

Excellent place to eat when you are in Ketchum. I originally had a mind set to eat fish and chips, but I saw sautéed calamari on the menu. I changed my mind and order calamari. It was delicious and I highly recommend to try it. It's enough to order as a main entree.

Went for a simple drink, but ended up having a drink and light dinner. My friend and I had a Tito's martini with a splash of cranberry. The generous pour was delicious! Spouses had Manhattans--very good and again, a generous pour. Our dinners were outstanding! Tuna burger and bangers and mash. Wonderful service. I highly recommend.

The boyfriend and I stopped in on one of our nights here in Ketchum. The food we had was really good but those Kobe Beef Sliders were AMAZING. That being said, the servers were pretty rude whenever we would ask for another drink. They also brought us our check without us asking which we took as our sign to leave. I'd like to go back in the future but maybe with different servers.

We stopped in the Cellar because we liked the menu. The food was terrific, I had a chicken pesto sandwich and it was a very generous sized sandwich. Chicken flavorful, tender and juicy. My hubs had chicken strips, generous sized. Crispy fries. One stellar part was how incredibly friendly the staff was. Everyone greeted. They checked in and overall had great attitudes! We would visit again and I highly recommend!

This is an old school cheap locals basement dive bar in Ketchum. If you are looking for a fancy $20 cocktail and a bespoke, shade-grown, organic roasted chicken breast, don't come here. If you want chicken wings, a cold beer, and a local vibe, then this is your place. Foods not great, but good enough.

Service is meh, prices are good for the town, the place has a nice a aesthetic instead of going the typical this is a dive bar. Id give it 4 stars but the older lady working the bar was so drunk she accused me of having a fake ID because it was an out of state license. Luckily someone else was working with her.

My husband and I ordered the pulled pork sandwiches and spicy wings and are super satisfied. Second time eating there and definitely will make it a third time.

Used to be a great place with great food however both staff and patron seem to think that not wearing masks is ok in the middle of a pandemic (even though the city requires masking). The look they gave us when we walked in yesterday wearing masks was positively unfriendly and borderline threatening. The city should close this place

Yelp helps us feel like locals. We crawled down the stairs to this cozy place for dinner. The menu isn't huge, but it doesn't need to be. The Yelp reviews stood out: 4.5 average rating! We were not disappointed. Sat outside in the balmy August evening and had a delicious repast: the Shrimp pasta special was divine (shrimp perfectly grilled), the Poor Man's Surf and Turf excellent, the Onion Rings (my personal sinful excess) really yummy. Something in the batter, really makes it. All of our four dishes were terrific. The service was great. Even better: we spotted our wait-staff from the previous night, here sipping a brew. A local haunt! This is why summer vacations, watching the locals, and Yelp reviews are the best.

The best corn dog in the world is made here. Seriously, you can't miss it if you're in the area. Cellar is a great bar with awesome moscow mules and jello shots, if that's your thing. There are games in the back and it can get pretty crowded during peak season.

"But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd." - Shakespeare (commenting on the Cellar staff) Two stars for past good nights there when I was a younger man. The place has, like all of Ketchum, changed. Absolutely packed. But mainly gross negligence by their staff. My brother-in-law and I (plus a number of cousins) were all in town for the weekend because of a separate celebration. Afterwards, we thought: hey, let's go out and check out our old haunts. I did not have pockets, so my brother-in-law was carrying my ID and CCs. After he went through, I realized this and asked him to hand me mine. He handed me his own, on mistake of course. The bouncer - doing his job - said "wait a minute, I've seen this" and took it as a fake or as borrowing an ID (a misdemeanor). Understandable up to now. But then it got out-of-control. They pulled my brother-in-law out (no refund for the drink he bought nor explanation to him). I explained the mistake and had my brother-in-law take out my ID in order to remedy the situation. Clearly we'd just mixed up IDs. We were both well over 21 and there was no question of authenticity. Fine, fine, bouncers & establishments can be cautious and refuse us entry despite our obviously real IDs, that is a business's right. BUT THEN they refused to give back our IDs. We just want to go elsewhere at this point, but they will not return our IDs. We have flights the next day, so needless to say we need them that night. I ask the bouncer if I may speak with the manager. "No." I see Karl, someone I knew in high school, is working there and ask if he can get clarification for us. He agrees and then mysteriously never returns. Now I'm getting upset, so I tell the bouncer to call the police if he thinks a crime has been committed and report me, or give me the IDs back. "No." All the time, the bouncer is getting more belligerent. Eventually I have to resort to calling the police myself and two sheriff's office deputies show up and kindly retrieve our IDs and validate them in about two seconds. The deputies tell us the establishment doesn't want us in there (a mutual feeling now) and that they were told we are there doing this stuff every weekend (literally a complete & shocking lie; this is my first time back to town since COVID). As a final insult, the staff had marked up my brother-in-law's ID with some kind of imprint stamp or something of that nature, which the deputies assured us is (a) not legal, but (b) did not permanently damage the ID. Luckily TSA agreed, so we had no airport troubles, otherwise I might just have taken up the deputies suggestion to contact the Idaho Liquor Board to report them (and I'm still of half a mind to do so). Welcome home, I guess. Next time you confiscate someone's identification, you call the police if the person insists it is real and will not leave without it. You are not the law. Detaining people or their property is not part of your job description, you are supposed to bring the LAW into these situations. And vandalizing an ID before it has been authenticated by LEGAL authorities is absolutely atrocious.

Cool room but the bar tenders were rude.... Looked like it had been a busy night maybe, but we had just arrived and placed our first order. We waited for what felt like a long time... so we asked about our drinks, and she had Left our drinks on the other side of the bar and told us to come get them ourselves. We were maybe 10 feet away- just had moved to some newly emptied seats, still at the bar... was strange, unfriendly vibes for sure... turned our whole group off, so we left, and won't be back.

Love this spot. Came to The Cellar after a wedding reception and had a total blast with the wedding party. Bartender/Owner was super cool with us out-of-towners and the pricing was totally reasonable! Great night at The Cellar! For those other reviewers complaining about it being downstairs and a little dark - grow up - it's called *The Cellar* I'll bring the crew again when we're back in town, total blast.

This place was literally heaven on Earth. The indoor/outdoor option was a nice option. I ordered a shrimp/pesto kind of pasta and chicken. It was the best pasta I have ever had! Most pasta penne I get is greasy and doesn't have a really flavorful bite. This pasta made for the best leftovers too! I live in Boise and would gladly made the almost 3 hour drive for dinner at the Cellar Pub for the pasta. The atmosphere outside on the New York-style in-ground patio was warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to not knowing the menu; our waitress was delighted to help us choose a meal. What a place!!

Solid dining experience. Good beers and good food. Like the vibe of the whole place and each room. Service was friendly and hilarious. Can be a bit loud.

My wife and I were recently in Ketchum for a music event. We ate dinner here after the event. We really like the atmosphere and vibe. Our awesome server made this a 5 star experience. Nice selection of beers on tap. I was able to get an actual black and tan with Guinness and Harps, and it was well made. My wife had the fish and chips. The fish was very good, crispy outside and well cooked. Fries and coleslaw were very good. My wife typically doesn't eat a lot of coleslaw, but she finished hers. I had their hand dipped beef corndog with spicy Guinness mustard. It was delicious, as was the side of slaw I had with it. Our server was over the top great. Friendly and just the perfect amount of attentiveness. We really enjoyed chatting with her a bit. We won't hesitate to stop in here again.

I come to Ketchum every couple months for business. The Cellar Pub is one of my favorite places to hang out in the evening! The staff is always courteous and professional and friendly! The cozy and inviting atmosphere helps take the sting out of a stressful day! The food is to die for from the Appetizers to my favorite main course the Fish and Chips! Everything I've tried is fantastic. Love to take my clients here to close the deal! Thanks Pub for making this my home away from home! Thumbs up

Super satisfying! Got the Poor Man's Surf n Turf, take-out. I inhaled it all, the sausage was smoky and yummy. The mashed potatoes were well-seasoned and the fried fish was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Will definitely be back and look forward to dining in, sometime!

I follow other yelp reviews to this restaurant and found them to be spot on. I had the lamb sliders for dinner and did not regret a single bite. The pub environment is dark and very British. The service was personal and attentive. I would have no hesitation in recommending or returning to this restaurant for another try at the same thing or something different.

OUT OF TOWNERS, listen up! This is a must go-to! The owner Paige is extremely accommodating and very helpful. COVID guidelines are in place of wearing masks, but the atmosphere is definitely a pre-covid feel. They have games downstairs and the food is amazing. Definitely worth a visit!

This is my 3rd time here, great service, very friendly staff and everyone remembers your name which is really cool. Erin was my server, amazing service, and great to chat with. The Guinness here is top rate, expertly poured and served at perfect temp.

Place sucks, bartenders suck, staff sucks. Bartender took 2 shots before "getting" my drink. Then he questioned my ID and when I tried to leave wouldn't give it back. Never asked for verification like my credit card or anything only assumed I was under age when I used my ID card and not my drivers license. Wouldn't go here if you're just looking for a couple casual drinks and a good time w your significant other or friends. *BTW this all happened on the night of my anniversary*

Not sure this is a place you want to patronize. Apparently the staff is unable to recognize a real ID as opposed to a fake one. I understand their need to make sure they aren't serving under age drinkers but if you are unable to recognize a real versus fake ID you probably shouldn't ruin a patrons weekend, especially a special occasion like an anniversary. It may also be a good business policy to not get hammered behind the bar so you can recognize real or fake ID's. All in all for a good time it may be a good idea to seek fun elsewhere. **As you can see by the response of an establishment rep they are choosing to not take responsibility for misidentifying a legitimate ID and also not addressing the behavior of apparently a drunk owner. Other patrons verified that it was a legitimate ID that were not associated with the person this happened. I also happen to know the patron whose ID was in question and he encouraged the police be called. FYI it wasn't me. With such poor service why would anyone stay even if the ID was verified. Being wrong isn't a problem but when you treat your customers with arrogance after they are pleading with you that it's a valid ID is why I'm posting this review. Also nice try on the snatching the ID and running out. The customer took his ID back and advised them he wasn't staying because of how he was treated. Like I said do your due diligence on verifying ID's but don't take a position right off the bat that the customer is lying. That's where your issue is.

Wow....My new favorite place in Ketchum !!! From the atmosphere, to the service, food, drinks, and outstanding vibe, this place is awesome. Me and the boys fresh off a 1200 mile motorcycle ride ended out trip (last night of trip) in Sun Valley. We picked this place from the many great Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint. The place is a pub style eatery. Very dark, and homey feel, but with a definite upscale vibe. I started out with a Manhattan, and ordered appetizers for the crew. Lamb sliders (OMG), Calamari, and wings. All excellent. We ordered dinner, and I had the flat iron steak. Cooked, and seasoned perfectly. I will make an excuse to return ASAP.

I am a local and I also know what a good bar is like and this is the best bar in the entire world. And, I have traveled the world. Best music, Best vibe, most authentic, nicest bartenders, but most of all the best bar food I have ever had in my entire life. I highly recommend. You wouldn't expect great pasta at a bar but you will find it here. Always remember to ask what the specials are. Their hamburgers are unbelievable as well as her french fries but their shrimp tacos are off the charts. This is the pasta Primavera. I asked for as much effort as he would put on until his hand hurt. I've never had too much pepper

Fun bar at night and a chill spot for dinner. Try the surf and turf and the buffalo wings.

One of our favorite spots in the Valley. As a full-time resident, my husband and I have been patrons of this wonderful establishment for many, many years. This is the perfect spot for a quick drink or a full night out. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but my favorite has to be the fish & chips or lamb sliders! Grab a stool at the bar and you are sure to have a good time and meet some great people!

We have been coming here for the indescribably good fish and chips. Giant chunks of flaky white fish cooked perfectly. Last night had the calamari and was blown away at the flavor and uniqueness if the fish. The staff is professional and prompt. Expect it to be busy when you visit. Really popular spot. They have shuffleboard downstairs. A great place to gather with friends.

Such a great place and a solid 5 stars. Service was fantastic, food was great too. The food actually looked Instagram worthy and the taste lived up to the presentation. We had the bangers and mash and the steak salad. Bangers and mash stood up to some of the better Irish pubs I've been to. Got extra gravy because it made the bangers taste that much better. The flat iron steak salad looked like it was posing for a picture. The steak was juicy and the matched perfectly with the dressing. The onion rings on the side made for the perfect pairing and might have been the highlight of the meal. Next time I'll order an entire side of them. Prices were very reasonable and the quality surpassed expectations. Definite recommend and will visit again.

My first night in town visiting myself and my girlfriend went around to many different bars and restaurants to check the area out. This place was recommended to us. It is a downstairs pub style place. Had a good vibe and we enjoyed it. Two bar tenders that were there were both very nice. We just had basic mixed drinks. Drink prices were very reasonable. Seemed like you could get food here too. There was a seating area for maybe light food and also very small outside patio.

This was our first experience at this pub. The server and bartenders were amazing and knowledgeable on the food, beverages, and the area. The local crowd was fun. We tried the calamari and the clams. The clams were in a rich broth that was very flavorful. The calamari was beyond amazing. It came with sautéed onions, peppers, and tomatoes that was very delicious. It was not the typical fried calamari with a dipping sauce and the calamari came in large strips. Best calamari I've ever tasted.

Awesome drinks, great vibe, and some pretty awesome games in the back room. It's a must-go place for anyone visiting Sun Valley for sure.

The cellar was absolutely fantastic except for one female employee behind the main bar. I've been with a big group of people and there were multiple people that that went to the cellar pub throughout the day and had an awful experience with JUST her. If she was fired it wouldn't be five stars... it would be 10 stars. She really brought down the vibe for multiple groups being extremely rude. Other than that bartender... highly recommend!

...distinctly local...wonderful fish & chips...frequented by youth...how marvelous...when the majority in town are near death...
