Lounges in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City's 9th & 9th neighborhood is one of Utah's most charming entertainment districts — a walkable intersection of independent boutiques, cocktail bars, and restaurants serving SLC's most progressive and creative residential community. The neighborhood's extraordinary concentration of independent businesses and its LGBTQ+-welcoming character create the most authentically progressive bar culture in a state often perceived as entirely conservative.

Bar X is Salt Lake City's most celebrated cocktail bar — a downtown institution in a 1907 historic building producing outstanding craft cocktails for one of America's most unexpectedly vibrant cocktail markets. Utah's growing tech economy, its extraordinary outdoor recreation culture, and the remarkable diversity of its non-LDS population create a cocktail market of unusual sophistication that consistently surprises visitors.

Bodega Bar is one of Salt Lake City's most creative cocktail lounges — serving the Capitol Hill neighborhood's growing professional community with craft cocktails and an intimate lounge atmosphere. SLC's Capitol Hill neighborhood, adjacent to the State Capitol, serves the government and law community that drives much of the city's professional entertainment market.

Green Pig Pub is one of Salt Lake City's most beloved neighborhood bars — a downtown institution where outstanding craft cocktails and a genuine community atmosphere serve the growing creative and tech professional population of Utah's capital. SLC's remarkable transformation into one of America's fastest-growing tech hubs (the "Silicon Slopes") creates a cocktail lounge market of unusual sophistication and demographic energy.

Lake Effect is Salt Lake City's most stylish cocktail lounge — a downtown SLC bar drawing inspiration from the Great Salt Lake's extraordinary geological and cultural heritage for its cocktail menu and aesthetic. Utah's remarkable natural landscape, from the Bonneville Salt Flats to Zion's slot canyons to the lake itself, creates an extraordinary menu of inspiration for a bar committed to celebrating its home state.
