If you're looking for a low light, semi-romantic cocktail lounge with some delicious bites you've…read morefound it. Truly this spot would be an easy 5 stars but the service is fairly lacking, if I could rate traits individually it would be 3 stars. It's a small lounge so when you walk in they'll tell you to sit anywhere but that might be your last interaction if you don't kinda catch someone walking by. Getting a glass of water and a drink order in took a good while, and ordering food felt like I was asking the waiter for a heavy favor, it made the experience feel uncomfortable. But the food and drinks really make this place worth it. The frosted water Lily cocktail was delicious, it packed a flavorful punch of coconut with violet and once we did order food the plates came out quick. Each dish was delicious and well worth the cost.

You walk in to wood paneled walls and a staircase leading to the loft area upstairs The bar encompasses the real estate on the first floor. The extra bonus was the outdoor patio complete with cozy seating and standup heaters. Fun! Worth another visit

I had a reservation as the bar has a more intimate vibe with limited seats. I overheard others having to wait over an hour without a reservation. We got some oysters and ordered a few drinks. The vibe is cute and the decor is lovely. The drinks arrived promptly and I enjoyed the Valentine's Day special with passion fruit. The other drink from the regular menu was not memorable.

Enormous beer selection. Take some time to review their list and look at their rotating tap list and specials for updates. Don't see a beer style you'd like? Just ask. The bartenders have great recommendations and sometimes there even beers they've gotten that aren't in the list. No food. I should have asked if it's okay to bring your own. Usually that's cool. Great service. The bartenders get after it! Bathrooms are about what you'd expect in a bar open late night. A little dirty, a little cramped.

The Bolognese was good, but it does not compare to the black cod! The brussel sprouts were amazing as well. I love the addition of the dates and bacon. Service was great. The only thing I disliked is I made a reservation for 2 prior and we were going to be sat downstairs on these high tops. I asked if we could be sat in a booth instead. Luckily one of the smaller booths were available so we just waited 5 min for them to clean it. The service and food is quick so it was unusual for us to be directed to the high tops especially since it was not busy and has fast service. We were done with dinner within an hour. Overall, a great spot w/ good food!

Little dive bar. Big fun! I needed to take the edge off from work and found this gem on Yelp! It's…read moreone of the closest bars by my house and it was open late on a Sunday! Drinks are cheap and so are their Hennessy shots at $7 each! Plenty of seating available, but everyone seems to congregate at the bar. I soon found that the bartender is such a hoot and so friendly! There's a couple of pool tables. The bathrooms are a little "shocking." I was looking for the women's restroom and when the lights automatically turned on, I saw lots of 70s models posing nude. So this is what regular bodies look like before the surgery era! The men's restroom was more classy with people smoking cigars.

I walked over to the bar and unfortunately there were no seats at the bar despite being told there was plenty open. I was disappointed by the inconsistencies in the messages from the staff. This inconsistent and slow service continued for the rest Despite the rocky start and lackluster service throughout the food, views and ambiance more than made up for it. I got the nachos to start and they were some of the best I've ever had, would go back for just that. The DJ and views made the over all vibe and feel at the restaurant 5 starts. Bump up the service and it would be 5 starts over all.

I'm glad it's a place that can supports the dolls but the drinks are watered down, it's sticky everywhere, and the crowd leans young straight college students who are avoiding all the other rotted and predatory straight bars in Salt Lake. Service upstairs is slower because there's a lot of people ordering, service downstairs moves faster.
