Sooooo pretty so vibey so small no place to sit if there's literally anyone in here. But the place is gorg and the drinks are good!

Wine, cocktails and vibes!

Melancholy is such a special wine bar. The perfect blend of local love, personal touch, and unique wine and cocktail choices. The service was stellar for our event, a wine tasting. Natalie is amazing and is the heart of Melancholy, and her expertise with wine is unparalleled! She is intentional, welcoming and makes wine approachable and effortlessly educational. She brings a warmth and wisdom of wine that makes you keep coming back! Love the ambiance of the vintage interior with a dark academia vibe, perfect for books take flight and our winter solstice wine tasting. The patio is also a vibe for summer nights under glowing lights. Enjoyed that so much last week, a perfect pairing to kick off summer!

Giving my cheerful flowers to this charming and beautiful new bar in the Post District. Everything is truly curated with such thoughtful approach, from the door handles to the lighting to the bathroom signs. You can tell there was a lot of love put into the creation of this space, and the cocktail menu reflects that. There was a private event happening upstairs when we visited, so I didn't get to see the upper level, but we snagged two barstools and were gawking at how cool the vibe was. I asked for a dirty martini and was told their house martini made with shishito peppers was amazing, so we gave it a go and WOWOW. These shishito martinis were so classy and savory with a perfect drip of olive oil. Our service was fast and the hostess who greeted us was so sweet and welcoming. We parked in the post district parking garage and got free parking with validation, which was a huge plus in this area of town. I'd highly recommend Melancholy to anyone looking for a new upscale bar with moody ambiance, crafted cocktails, and a more intimate bar experience.

Stumbled upon this place on NYE last minute and it was such a gem of a find! Both upstairs and downstairs have their own charm, but it's a very charming and moody place. Perfect for a date night. All of the staff were so nice and helpful, we felt very welcome and well taken care of. I tried the champagne flight and enjoyed it, and their cocktails were also great! I loved the caviar offering they had too.

Gorgeous bar

Melancholy is another amazing cocktail and lounge option in downtown SLC. We discovered them by accident while walking to another establishment. The gorgeous bar peeking through picture window got our attention. They've been open only a few months and are doing so many things well. The space is small but intimate, creative and just what we didn't know we were looking for. They have a small bar upstairs as well, very cozy and perfect for a date night. Their servers were all very friendly, clearly happy to working there and so glad to see everyone who walked in, new face or one they remember. We chatted with everyone behind the bar downstairs and immediately wished we had Melancholy back home in Denver. Their craft cocktail menu is small but easily stands out for those in the know. These aren't your standard ingredients and their recipes will delight you. I'm not a fan of gin but the Jonny was so well made, I could be there. Gorgeous place. Lots to look at and appreciate and if that's not your vibe, there's some cozy spaces to connect with friends and loves while enjoying some really unique cocktails.

The location is quirky and cool, drinks are great but service is lacking. May be due to being somewhat new. Would be cool to rent for a private event. Just ask for validation on garage parking or you'll end up with a $40 charge at the end of the night on top of drinks and dinner.

Smoked trout... from the tin was so cute!

Absolutely loved catching up with friend at Melancholy! Drinks were great and the bartenders were amazing! The decor was so cute and retro. It was not loud inside and quite packed.

Malbec and Granny Panties-- forgot to take a pic before drinking most of it. Very yummy!
Rose H.

The service is really nice. We like the bartender who works at the bar upstairs as she's very professional and nice. The cocktails are fun and sophisticated, but are priced fairly. The wine selection is also nice, and they are not stingy like some bars seem to be. I like the Coyote (very tequila forward) and Granny Panties (tastes like apple pie) and the Malbec on the menu. The decor and ambiance are both really great-- it's a more classy, mature environment and not so divey. It's a great spot for a date.

Always has helpful recommendations and is patient and friendly. The owner stops by and says hi, which is a nice touch to the touch experience. The food is delicious and surprisingly affordable for a venue like this. The ambiance is modern, romantic, and very inviting despite it being a bit dark (which I love). The wine selections are fabulous! There is something for everyone and you can get an app to note your top choices. They have some excellent wine flight choices that enable you to try a little of many. I recommend making a reservation and going soon, whether you're by yourself with a nice book or scrolling social media (lol), on a date, or with a group.

The cook of the pizza was perfect too. We were also surprised with a creme brûlée and that was not only so tasty, but just a fabulous end to our meal!

Thank you Kimo for helping us have such a great time, we can't wait to come back!

La Finca is a tiny place set inside a house. It feels very cozy, but there is not much space…read more Service was fine and the pacing of the food was good. The wine list is long, though there is not much by the glass. The reds we tried were good. The Crianza was my favorite, young and light but still flavorful, with a subtle dry finish. We ordered tortilla española, torta de cecina, patatas bravas, mejillones, and pinchos morunos. Everything had great flavor. There was some inconsistency with temperature. The patatas came out just warm, while other dishes were very hot. The pinchos morunos turned out to be more like a meatball on a stick. That may have been my misunderstanding, but when I see lamb pincho I expect grilled pieces of lamb. They were tasty, just more basic than I expected. For dessert we had churros. This may be personal preference, but I like to pick up a churro and dip it in chocolate without it breaking apart. These were more like a fried cake in the shape of a churro and required a spoon. They also have what looks like a very nice patio for good weather. I would be a bit concerned about speed of service if the patio is full, since the kitchen seems quite small. Overall, it was a good experience with well executed and flavorful tapas.

Staff was great -- genuinely friendly, attentive, and easily the highlight of the night…read more But c'mon.... fix the damn toilet seats. It's gross and makes you look lazy and careless.
