I'm visiting SLC from California. I wanted to bring home some local liquor for friends. I showed up to Beehive at 4:45 on a Thursday and they were already closed. I could see people sitting inside, I motioned and asked if they were open, and they just looked away. I don't know about the quality of the liquor, I'm just bummed they weren't open when they said they would be. read more

I visited for the first time during Grid City Music Fest this weekend and I was so surprised at how massive this space is! Even during the music festival, it wasn't terribly crowded. The drinks were delicious and we were also so impressed by the food! I ordered the gimlet with gin, lime juice, pear syrup, and sage. It was really delicious. My partner got their old fashioned, which we didn't realize was made with gin until after we ordered it and it was delicious - I'd never had a gin old fashioned before. The food menu here was small but mighty. We got the French fries which were in fun shaped spirals and they were fluffy and also crispy and so delicious. We also got the smacked cucumber salad that was really refreshing and a hint of spice. I also got a tofu burger - with fried tofu, hot honey and a pickled veggie mix. It was really unique and yummy - I've never had something like this before out at a bar. The bun was soooo good, and all of the flavors were delicious. I'm excited to come back here! read more

Came to Beehive for a private event. I've never been a gin fan- however this is now my favorite and preferred gin. The environment is great and we enjoyed our time here. We are hoping to come back to do more of a tasting experience of gin specifically. read more

Beehive is the first and original gin distillery in Utah. I love the ambiance and is a great place for meeting friends or family or both to get together. The bartenders have always been personable and not in a creepy way. I do prefer the clear distilled gin vs the barrel reserve which is a lot more musky. If you are a whiskey or bourbon person you should try the barrel reserve. read more

As long as distilleries have been around, distillery cats have too. Gimlet is the honorary feline here and if you take a tour of the facility, you're likely to meet her. She mostly keeps to herself, allows an occasional pet, but then will be on her way patrolling the facility. She's good at her job. Speaking of good at their job, Mads took a small group, including myself, on a tour of the distillery-dropping knowledge bombs all along the way and captivating the group with more spirit trivia than you'd find any any sports bar event. She's terrific! Beehive Distilling also has a line under the name of Desolation Distilling. They create gin, vodka, whiskey (don't forget the "e", we don't want to offend the Scottish folk) and a few canned products as well. I learned that gin is an alcohol that has a variety of botanicals-including juniper, of course-and these botanicals are sourced from locations all over the world. They would love to source locally, but the volume they need exceeds local ability to produce. However, not all the ingredients are imported-I didn't get to see them, but Mads also told us that there are beehives on the roof which produce honey that is used in their cocktails. How cool! There will be a 7 year aged gin going on sell next week-it will be very limited. If you're lucky enough to read this in time, mark your calendar to pick up a bottle before they sell out! read more

My favorite local watering hole! This gem isn't ever super crowded and it is so low key. The vibe of the place is very quality, but not snobby in any sort of a-hole-ish kind of way. The bar is really the hidden secret of this place. But I recommend beehive for both their bar, and their gin is hard to even compete with. I suggest buying your booze here anyways. It is a better price than the liquor store and I never have to worry about waiting in an outrageous line that consumed by whole evening, while already have had an incredibly long day. The Moscow Mule contains 9% alcohol content per can and a can feels equivalent to having a strong drink of 2. Beehive sold me on simply this: class. read more

First time here. We came for our friends album debut. We we impressed with the decor and massive area around the bar to hang out. Plus there is another room next to the bar if you have a private party or just a big group of friends. The menu was small, just finger foods and sliders. They were delicious. They cocktails were out of this world and I'm sure we tried every one. I'm for sure going back and experience some more fun and music. read more

First Time at this place, very food surprise, I will be back! The place looks really nice and fancy, would be great for a date. We met there with friends and had a couple of cocktails, fries and sliders. Everything was delicious. We moved on to beer for my friends and prosecco for me. And for desert, we had the churros which were perfect to share. As we walked out, I asked my husband when he is taking me there on a date. I highly recommend! read more

My favorite little local bar and distillery with great food and people. What happened?! Why did they close? I was so sad to see them up and close without notice. read more

Salt Lake has always needed a dark, luxe, moody bar that's a little farther from downtown & innocuous enough for you to meet with a former colleague that appears seemingly out of thin air next to you and orders a Gaucho as they slip you an envelope with the details to a top secret mission that you and only you can complete (even though you retired from the business years ago)... orrrrr it's a place to meet your best friend so you can catch up over mussels and smoked chips with a cocktail so good you'd rob your mother to pay for another. Either way! And yes, I know. You can buy a bottle of Beehive Gin at the liquor store but a Beehive gin cocktail at their distillery?! You have to try at least once. Oh, and don't forget to order the mussels. read more

Come here all the time after work! love the space love the people love the drinks it is awesome here!!!

What a beautiful location to spend an intimate evening with your friends. This distillery has a full bar, lots of seating and an elegant atmosphere. My friend and I enjoyed 'The Daydream' which has Beehive Organic Vodka, grapefruit liquor, aperol and lime. It was subtle, tart, beautiful to the eye and delicious. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Wow! Very cool place with wonderful drinks ... I recommend the Falcon Punch... but their version of an Old Fashioned is amazing too. A great place to come and chill for an hour or two! read more

We love coming to this unassuming distillery. It's a quick bike ride from our house or a short walk from the nearest tracks stop. The drinks are fabulous! And they serve food now...ridiculously tasty and reasonably price. Their pork belly bun is fantastic. Yumdidily-oumcious!! Plus there is a cute cat! read more

My new favorite spot! Incredible cocktails and the bartenders were all so nice to chat with. I was surprised by how wide open the space was, like an art gallery. Excited to come during the summer. Also, Gimlet the kitty in the window was the highlight. read more

Great space adorned with some inspiring art. Bar staff was friendly and the cocktails were good. Keep an eye out for the resident (but skittish) cat, Gimlet. Sounds like there's food trucks Thu/Fri/Sat night but rain cancelled the one planned the night we were there. Grabbed their canned cocktails to try at their store on the way out. read more

Great drinks and cute cat! Will be back!! I love gimlet soooo much this place is awesome!

Fantastic craft cocktails in the beehive. Bartenders are knowledgeable and creative. The seasonal menu is good, I like that it's seasonal, they're always adjusting and adapting. read more

Such a (still somewhat) hidden gem. The vibe is very open and laid back with a cool view of the distilling pots (and the cool kitten that calls the main distilling room home). Greta outdoor view of the train rolling by, and such good service! The main bartender is terrific and always so helpful. Love this little local spot! read more

Pretty good drinks with a lot of selection. Nice atmosphere and walkable to 2 or 3 other breweries

Easily the most underrated bar in SLC. The build out, decor, vibe, and bartenders are awesome. Recommend their spirit flight and any cocktail on the board. Think 10/10 drinks in a low key environment. read more

Very nice open, clean, and classy distillery. You can do mixed drinks or flights to taste the different gins. After having some drinks, it would be nice to have food. However, the staff were great read more

Fantastic Cocktail menu and execution. Trendy and hip, most of times I've had no problem walking in and being served immediately. When there's a popular live band, the bar can get showed down, but, their cocktails are worth the wait. Haven't tried food here yet, looking forward to it soon! read more

Went for a drink and food with my momma and we had the best time! Katie was a wonderful bartender and made incredible drinks and kept us laughing with good conversation, she was attentive and friendly. The food was super filling and fresh and the ambiance of the place was very clean and modern. I can't believe that I haven't been going to this place longer my new favorite spot!!! read more

Went to beehive distilling for a drink for the first time tonight. I've been enjoying their jackrabbit gin for over two years but hadn't stopped by for a cocktail yet. Unfortunately I was really unimpressed by their service. I completely understand that a lot of businesses are understaffed with Covid so please take that into consideration with this review. We were here for almost two hours and got two drinks. Both times it seemed as though the staff didn't even notice us or the line (again Covid times things get busy) we ordered a second round, another group was able to order in front of us despite being behind us after waiting for at least 15 minutes and then our order was lost in the mix. Just overall sad that the experience didn't live up to what I had hoped for but up to try again. read more

This place is awesome! I love the artistry of their craft cocktails and the ambiance was very classy. I liked every drink that I tried from here and the bartender Kelsey was very kind. She did not get flustered even when we were a big group coming in. read more

Holy wow! This has been my favorite neighborhood cocktail bar since they opened. Incredible craft cocktails. You'll wait a minute for them, because they are meticulously made and amazingly delicious. The BIG NEWS THOUGH, they have food now! The food is goooooooodd! Please go try it. Mind blowing. read more

Went to check it out and loved it! I had a couple of their gin and tonics, and my husband had some specialty drink, both really good!
