Profile Draft
The Pub Spirits + Craft Kitchen took over the Pastry Pub space at 86 W Center St in Cedar City in May 2024, when Barry Orton and Jaden Reardon — both with deep roots in Iron County — bought the 1999-vintage local landmark and reworked it as a craft kitchen with a full bar. The bones of the building stayed; the menu and beverage program were rebuilt. Reardon grew up in Cedar City; Orton came from Parowan and has lived in Cedar City since 1999. The change was framed locally as a Cedar City favorite reimagined rather than a replacement.
For 435 Alliance, this is a clean recent ownership transition with strong local press coverage — exactly the kind of business where the public web is mid-update and the register listing can help resolve the ambiguity between Pastry Pub and The Pub.
Unresolved Questions
- Confirm the operating LLC name (Pastry Pub Inc still appears on Southern Utah Local; the new owners may have moved to a new entity).
- Confirm whether the bakery side of the prior concept survived the rebrand.
