Restaurants in Ogden

This “upscale pub” in Ogden is in the perfect spot for any northern foray — located on busy Washington Boulevard across from the Ogden Amphitheater and around the corner from the arts hub The Monarch, there’s plenty to entertain in this part of town. Harp and Hound is the easy going upstairs counterpart to its sister bar Funk ‘n Dive, a storied former speakeasy that hosts live music, karaoke and more on a regular basis. But besides all the fun there is to be had, what will keep you coming back is the food. They’ve got a hefty menu of bar eats, and notably, an entirely vegan selection, too. Whether you’re there for brunch staples or hearty shareables, dishes like O-town Tatchos (nachos but make it tater tots), pizzas and not-boring burgers like the BBQ sauce-drenched 47 Rodeo or the Garlic Mushroom Swiss all get the vegan treatment. Round it out with one of the local beers they keep stocked, like Ogden River Brewing Co, and you’ve got yourself a new homebase for all your northern wanderings.

Ogden River Brewing makes beer pairing easy. Their menu matches their own brews to hot items like: Mormon Hush Puppies with Derailment Hazy IPA; Ogden River Burger with Hop Train Pale Ale; Avocado Toast with Aviator American Wheat; Salmon and Lemon Risotto with Train Pale Ale; and Turkey Club with Northwest Red Ale. Their lineup also includes vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and kid-friendly options. Take your pick of seating: the dining room, the 40-foot granite-top bar, or the fire pit on the patio overlooking the river, the mountains and even the Ogden Temple.
