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.

The check your bags and pay you down before going in which I appreciate. You walk in and are greeted by the bar then it opens up into the dance floor. Drinks were good and a lot of people were dancing. As the night went on, it did fill up and get really cramped. They have VIP areas where the bottle girls do the little signs and lights if you're looking to celebrate something. Fun vibes and I plan on coming back if there is another event I want to go too. I'm also interested in the rooftop bar!!

The energy was so high; the people, the dancing, the dj, etc. In my experience, all of the staff were very respectful and helpful too. The only thing that I would complain about, if I were to, would be the diversity of drinks, but that's only because I have gone once. I did have a couple of different ones, but I would've loved to see more variety. Again; maybe there is! And I just didn't explore their options as much. So... depends on the night and type of music I would say.

It's a small space with a bit of an awkward setup. The bar is right by the front door and since there's no table service, a line forms that blocks the entrance. The live music is over on one side and if you happen to have a table on the other side of the bar, you miss out. I do like that you can grab food from the Woodbine food hall and enjoy that at your table. The drinks are also good, even if you are going to wait a bit for them.

I don't think there's a bad seat in the house as all the burlesque dancers move around the space. Be prepared with some ones to tip them, but they also take Venmo. I'd love to come back!

The environment feels like you'll want to wear something with buttons or dark jeans but otherwise it's fairly casual. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Food: We came here for 15th Tuna Fight Club. It is a monthly event where they buy a whole tuna, break it down while you watch, then prepared it into a 10-course meal. The tuna is raise off the coast of baja california in large multi-mile wide pens where the tuna forage on their natural diet instead of small tanks and nutritional pellets. They are harvested sustainably which is why Aker uses this company. Each fight club is different the previous with the chefs playing around with different preparations and flavors beyond your traditional sushi. Our round had elements of Mediterranean ingredients including a wasabi-infused tzatziki and one dish had the tuna topped with harissa for instance. While the next fight club will be different, what I can say in general is that if you like raw tuna, you will have a one-of-a-kind experience here. You will probably still love getting your standard order at your favorite sushi restaurant but you'll get to try tuna flavor combinations you've never had and with peak textures and fresh ingredients. We did get some cocktails as well as shared the drink pairing you can pay extra for with the fight club and there were some gems on there as well. Overall we had a great time and would gladly do the fight club again. I agree with the other reviewers that it is on the pricier side and not all the dishes/drinks are perfect but I appreciate the creativity/uniqueness offered here. I would definitely come back again to give their regular menu a try.

While I wouldn't describe White Horse as expensive, it does give upscale bar vibes with upscale pub food. The interior vibes are very hipster, packed with tables, including a few communal ones. The bar is. sight to see, with bottles towering to the ceiling. This is a 21+ restaurant, so be aware if dining with kids. I absolutely loved that they had NA beer on tap. Stoked to order my first on-draft NA IPA. Yum! We ordered the French dip and the steak sandwich. Both sandwiches came with fries, and both were fantastic. Neither was unbelievable or groundbreaking, but very solid renditions of each dish. I loved the pickles served with each dish. The fries were good but a tad salty. The service was good. Food came fast; the server checked in on us often. White Horse is located on a street with several other great restaurants, all highly rated on Yelp. While some are a bit more expensive, there is a lot of overlap between White Horse and some of these other great restaurants. It's a challenging block to make a choice! White Horse is a fun, intimate restaurant that is great for drinks, and I'd imagine they don't really have a bad dish on the menu. I would recommend it for a nicer spot to dine in downtown SLC.
