4th West Pub serves up American pub fare with a Southern California tilt in a casual, eclectic space. The BBQ Bacon Bourbon Burger sits on a brioche bun with a firm patty and restrained sauce, while Pork Carnitas Tacos deliver tender meat in soft tortillas with a bright brine. Hand-pressed Kanab beef patties anchor the burgers, and the beverage program features local Utah beers, ciders, and craft cocktails. Sit on the patio when possible, but beware it can heat up in warm months.
