50 Best Bars near Bountiful

“Great bar, the kitchen was closed when we got there but they didn't care if you got food delivered. The furniture is outdated but still comfortable. Good amount of billiards tables. Bring quarters, or they have a change machine that takes cash. Great staff, good drinks.“

“So good, I adore everything about this place.“

“Sapo the chef is INCREDIBLY talented! By far THE best Korean style bbq ribs I've ever had in my entire life and my children are part Korean so I KNOW good Korean food. If you haven't been yet, you haven't lived. It's a bucket list experience for your taste buds! Best birthday dinner ever!“

“Absolutely loved this place, very beautiful. The food is phenomenal here. My husband got the pork belly bowl - meat was very good, in all very flavorful and filling. I got the vegan mushroom banh mi with papaya salad - extremely flavorful as well. Maybe the best banh mi I have ever had. The papaya salad is also great, loved the peanuts and fried onions in it.

The drinks were all good too. My husband got one of their seasonal cocktail and ginger sumac cider and I got their ca phe.

Definitely ask for their house made chilli crisps! It is heavenly!“

“Fun atmosphere, light crowd, delicious drinks and food! The surf and turf was divine ❤️“

“Love this place, cider is great, would love some dryer options but all around stellar atmosphere and bevvies. Strangely, All the bartenders are wonderful but what was odd seeing some of them had tiny little hands and tiny little feet that walk around and go beep beep beep.“

“Best dang booch in all of Utah!“

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service from Maria was excellent and really efficient; she's genuinely one of the best waitresses who has ever taken care of me. I loved the food. I'm leaving really pleased and will definitely be coming back soon.❤️“

“2.5 stars The beer selection is amazing. The food is wonderful…however!, it will take more time than you’d think for service and food. We’ve given this place 4 tries, and while sitting at the bar is amazing for drinks, the table service and food is super slow so just set those expectations appropriately. This is a consistent experience, every time, which is a bummer with the service and food because the food is great! But even if you’re sitting at the bar, food service is *extremely* slow (40 minutes for an order of wings). It’s so unfortunate because otherwise, this place is a gem.“

“Great caberet in SLC. Features flow dancers, live music.“

“This is a Real Bar! They have an excellent selection of house cocktails, but can execute any classic cocktail with ease. Domestics and imported beers are at the ready, as is Underberg. I am chuffed to have sidled up to this bar while passing through town.“

“We came in for a special five course whiskey dinner and it was an amazing experience. It is something that restaurants in Utah are usually hesitant to do, but I have been to dining events in other states before and the food and pairings at Twigs were on point. We look forward to coming back, great menu and specials!“

“I’m selling 4 Hobo Johnson Tickets for tonight show November 18th at Soundwell - Salt Lake City, UT. If anyone interested in buying please send me a message ASAP unfortunately we cannot attend anymore. Willing to transfer them via Ticketmaster“

“Killer IPAs! Good food and service. Came for trivia night and had a blast.“

“Thanks Sammy. She’s an awesome bartender.“

“This is my second time doing the palate parlor tasting menu! And it was AMAZING!
-First off the rooftop vibe with the sun going down was breathtaking.
-Marissa was my server and she was incredible very knowledgeable and friendly and welcoming.
The food! One word DIVINE!!
The food was so good I forgot to take pictures cause I was so in the moment of enjoying it!
The slow roasted pork shoulder was so tender you pulled it off with your fork.
With the atmosphere/food/service I give it a 1000/10“

“The food is inventive and delicious. The cocktails are carefully crafted by hand and very fun. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is chill and relaxing.“

“My partner and I stumbled on this place on our way to another bar we were just going to grab a quick drink but ended up enjoying ourselves before we knew it we had three drinks and a desert. Great place for a date or to catch up with friends comfortable yet stylish I could hear well enough to actually have a conversation. Every drink we had was delicious! Highly recommend.“

“Love this spot! Utah’s Godfather! Everything we aspire to be and more. Most fun in Salt Lake, hands down! Great vibes, great music, great drinks, great games, and pinball! Definitely the best spot in town!“

“The atmosphere is beautiful and the live music-saxophone-player is was amazing, (and an unexpected surprise). The craft cocktails were delicious. The presentation of the food was beautiful and very good, however it was a bit pricey compared to the up scale bars and restaurants nearby. Unfortunately, our bartender seems to be more interested in talking to the other staff, instead of paying attention to his customers. We had to wait to order drinks, we waited and waited to order food, and he had a really difficult time checking back to see if we needed more drinks. When the food arrived, the bartender had gotten our order wrong, but he was quick to correct it. The scallops, the fennel salad, the calamari, and the miso chicken were delicious. We did inquire about gluten-free options, but our bartender didn't seem to know what "gluten-free" was, and had nothing to suggest. It would be nice to have gluten-free indicated on the menu. (Also, the online menu was different from the in person menu. Not a big deal, but it should be updated.) Overall, we had a really nice experience and were very happy with our food and drink selections. We will be coming back with friends.“

“We arrived roughly at 9:30pm prior to the cover and had a great time winding down our evening at Sayonara. The bar staff were kind, attentive, and responsive. Quick to take your order and had bar staff coming to your table with drink service.

Of the course the vibes are some of the best in downtown SLC. We particularly enjoyed the bar back and pool room.“

“Went to a work party here last night and loved it!! They had great vegan options (vegan corn dogs!), cool aesthetic and good service!“

“I attended a Day Party/Brunch yesterday (March 30th) and it was a very nice event, atmosphere, small rooftop area and hookah, nice tables! The DJs played a variety of genres, people socialized and danced. Awesome servers and bartenders. My server, Jacob Meadows, provided excellent service and he was very friendly and personable. I like how there is a food hall directly next door, connected to The Drift Lounge. I highly recommend Taste of Louisiana!“

“The pizza was fantastic! Great crust and even better sauce. Awesome atmosphere and some cool cocktail and beer selections.“

“D&D's is a classic neighborhood bar. Really great staff and very reasonable drink prices.
Food is available through a counter in the wall, that lets you order from Yoko's next door and eat it in the bar. Friendly owners. Great people and dog watching through the big windows is a plus.

“Come see the new remodel! Great place to get a drink downtown and listen to some live jazz!!♥️♥️“

“Best breakfast in Salt Lake. Gorgeous location and the nicest staff.“

“this was my very first bar and I love the local vibe and very decent priced drinks. I need to stop by soon it's been way too long. love this place ❤️“

“Great food choices and the server jimmy he is awesome!! I would recommend him if you want great customer service experience and helpful feedback on your food choice at the restaurant. I had the rainbow trout and it was a 10/10!! The rainbow trout was by far the BEST rainbow trout I have ever tasted!! If you’re into seafood I recommend to try the rainbow trout.🙌🏽❤️“

“A nice cocktail bar / lounge in Salt Lake City in the Monaco hotel. Service is good & attentive and the ambiance. My steak frites were cooked perfectly but founded the food to be a bit too salty. If they slightly reduced the amount of salt on the food it will be better. Overall will come again just for cocktails.“

“What an amazing little bar. Just a stones throw from Flankers, my favorite bar & grill in America.

Kelley is amazing and so is Ethan and Hannah is wonderful too. I’m sure there are other people and that they are wonderful too.

Only complaint is that there was a frozen hamburger outside.

(Updated)
I went back and talked to the manager, it was a hot n’ spicy mcckicken, not a hamburger. Anyway, they were out of banana pudding when I went. Weird. I don’t think they even have it. Super weird.“

“If you find yourself at Destinations Lounge you are most likely staying at the City Creek Marriott. The hour right before closing is often the busiest time of the night, with travelers arriving with hopes of finding food and a night cap. Unlock other hotel bars who promptly close at the designated time the staff at Destinations allowed for service right up til their closing time of 11 p.m. I applaud our Brazilian bartender for being polite and welcoming, ensuring the “famished” traveler they could get a bite despite it being closing time. Nicely done!

What was not so nice was the price gauging of well known tequila brands. If you know about Utahs liquor laws you realize a rocks pour can only be 1.5 ounces and is out of the bartenders hands. Totally fine with that. What is outrageous is to charge $18 for any call spirit and soda - in any state. We were not at an airport and sure it was downtown in a city but when premium scotch, vodka and rum all top out at $20 something is wrong with your tequila pricing list.“

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“We sat in a booth downstairs in the speakeasy. Very intimate and cozy. Piped in music but not too loud. We thought maybe we would be forgotten since we were out of sight but were not. Service was friendly and responsive. We had the chili rellenos and the New York Steak and both were delicious! Chili rellenos crunchy on the outside and oh so good on the inside. Steak was cooked medium and was very tender and flavorful. Topped it off with the Thor cocktail. We will be coming back.“

“Authentic Italian home family style savory meals. Great service.“

“The Garten is one of the best outdoor venues in the city. Huge outdoor patio with a full service bar, fire pits, and a full stage for live music! Food trucks show up regularly.“

“Very cool chill spot. Came here on my first night in town to kick off the night. The drinks were great and the service was friendly. It was getting busier and the bartender was working alone and handled it all very well, I was with good company and that made waiting for the drinks just fly by. We had a few drinks ( the first drink was better than the 2nd) and ordered the "chicken" flautas. Didn't taste any chicken at all but the crunchy cheesy rolled up taquitos went well with our drinks.“

“The food was delicious… I will be back possibly tomorrow for lunch. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere. Our waiter Ehsan was great as well.“

“🥰 Best Mushroom burger I've had in ages! Great, freindly service and if I'm back in Salt Lake, I'll definitely return!“

“We went to Why KiKi for a bachelorette party and it was the funnest time! They were personable with our bride and put on such a fun show! The food was great at a great price and the drinks were so fun! Afterwards, we went down to the silent disco (price included with our ticket) which was such a fun experience! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun girls night!“

“We visited early on a weekday evening and left just before the live music. Next time we will stay. The restaurant has an extensive dinner menu and well as an extensive drink menu. I really appreciated the number of IPAs and Hazy IPAs from local breweries. Our party ordered the Shepard pie, shrimp tacos, and chimichurri steak with potatoes and salad. The Shepard Pie was really good! Our server, Christopher, was attentive and fun.“

“I literally can’t not save enough good things about THE SPOT!!!! Jumper & AJ are amazing! The atmosphere is so great! Is you are looking for a welcoming, comfortable, safe place - this is it!!! It’s by far my most favorite place to be in salt lake!!“

“Milk+ is hands down one of the best spots in Salt Lake City for a night out! The vibe was electric perfect for dancing, with a great mix of music that kept the energy high all night. The drinks were great and served up by super friendly bartenders. The crowd was fun and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere felt inclusive and upbeat. If you’re looking for a great LGBTQ+ spot in SLC, Milk+ should be at the top of your list! I had so much fun there. I plan on celebrating my birthday there with my friends and family next month.“

“Didn’t try any food while I was here wish I did but was busy going other places in the moment. Great place to start your night out or even end the night out if you’re looking for somewhere to play some pool or even just grab the last beer“

“I just knocked over my partners drink, and these sweethearts brought us a new one. Great food, yummy drinks, great atmosphere.“

“We came here for brunch for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was also our first time coming here. The food was absolutely delicious AND we got a free dessert for her birthday. Not only was it free, it was a delicious, house-made crème brûlée! We will definitely be coming back!“

“We love Duffy’s! Cheap drinks, great staff.“
