50 Best Bars near Holladay

“This place is special. They put their heart into it. And you can feel it in the service, food & drink, vibe, and overall experience. I love this place and want to start going there even more. It gets better every time we go.“

“This was my first time eating here and it was SO good. Greek food is newer to me so I don’t have a ton to compare it to, however this was the best Greek restaurant that I have eaten at. The outdoor seating area was nice, their sauces they have were so good too. The beef and lamb meat were thin sliced but still juicy and deliciously crispy. Their wings had an herby franks red style sauce and herby dill ranch that were soo good too. We ate here while out of town and have already looked for one closer to our home. It’s THAT good!“

“Everything! Food, Atmosphere, service! It has it all!“

“I absolutely love this place! It's different than any other bar I've ever been to. Very welcoming. Always great vibes! Vicki is very Genuine and provides a safe space for EVERYONE.“

“Found this place for last minute business dinner. Unique cocktails, amazing small plates. Brussels and Truffle fries didn’t disappoint. Entrees were fresh and well composed. My only knock was our server that wasn’t that personable and didn’t provide any recommendations.“

“Michael is awesome man. Hopefully you get him as a server. I’ve been here twice with him as my server and I have had two super great experiences. The food is delicious, the vibes on game day are immaculate. Can’t wait for the 2025 NFL season over here!“

“Being someone that doesn't drink, i still enjoyed being here. I just got a coke and a grilled cheese on a bingo night. Taylor (i think) was our waitress, total sweetheart running her butt off. The grilled cheese was delicious and the coke was good. Of course being on state street its a bit sketchy of an area and having to park on the next block over wasn't ideal as it's pretty dimly lit. Although that doesn't affect the bar itself, it does make the inside of the bar feel like a safe haven from all that sketch outside. I highly suggest just getting a ride share or taxi here as bringing your own vehicle isn't ideal either for parking reasons mainly.“

“Early eve, Thursday, local crowd slim to moderate...Bring your own friends. Missing opportunities to engage...Minimalist chairs and tables...Was here once before with a group and will be back for another go but vibe was missing and server was all business...one beer was enough...“

“Best dang booch in all of Utah!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love this place and the people who work here! They are conscientious, pleasant and friendly... They take great care of you and your stuff. Large and abundant TV's surround the walls and there's free shuffleboard, pool and darts...You can have a great, fun time here!!“

“I have been regularly dining at Finca Pintxos Bar before my shows at Eccles and am always happy with the yummy food and excellent service. Love the dates, meatballs, salad, and desserts!! I try to sit at the bar so I can watch them cook and visit. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. I especially like visiting with Pete; he is talkative, helpful with the menu, and a great chef! Go check out Pintxos is you get a chance!!“

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

“Delicious food, I can’t wait to try more“

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

“Great venue everyone is so nice“

“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.❤️“

“Spence is awesome. We were only in SLC for a visit, but became one of our favorite place. Highly recommend, will definitely come back!“

“Great location I love the outdoors with the river, super friendly and attentive staff“

“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 Ranch is to DIE for!!!“

“Drinks seemed average for cast, but great staff and vibe. With the size, I'd expect it fills fast. But wasn't too crowded on a Monday. Vibe comes with loud early-2000's music on the interior and quieter outdoor seating areas.“

“I love this place! Not enough dimly lit reseraunts around here.

Perfect atmosphere, great food, and Harold was the best server I have met in quite awhile. He was very accommodating and made me feel very comfortable like I was being served by a friend.🙂“

“Love this place. Kind people and great atmosphere“

“I came in to apply for a job and T the manager on duty was so friendly , prompt with all her customers, she took my application and was so truthful upfront. I liked her attitude and frontness …. I had a long day and stayed for a drink. I’m very impressed with her. I hope I’m able to join the family in the near future. T made it very welcoming for me. Thank you 😊“

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

“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.“

“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.🙌🏽❤️“

“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.“

“Great plant-based options and great vibe.“

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

“Great service and staff..“

“The food was delicious and our server Jolayne was fast and made sure we were well taken care of our entire time in the restaurant! Thank you for the amazing service and food we will definitely be back!!!!“

“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.“

“I LOVE the Tap Room! What an incredible neighborhood bar where everyone is on a first name basis. I was in for my first time today and Tiffany and the owner make you feel like a regular and family. The owner even bought me a shot of some high end whiskey he just got in. Love this place and will most definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

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

“We really enjoyed our experience at Lake Effect. We went for dinner on a Sunday so it was not as crowded or as loud as people had warned. The entertainment was a woman who played both keyboard and guitar and her voice was excellent. The music was chill versions of popular songs and it was perfect for the mood and dinner ambience. My only criticism (if you can call it that) were that the portion of nachos was enormous and was misleading since it is listed on the tapas menu. We barely made a dent so it felt wasteful. Wish we'd been warned. Everything else- drinks, food, ambience were perfect! We will be back!“

“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.“

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

“Salt Lake's most unique dining experience by far! If you are looking for an exclusive, chef driven 9 course dinner then Chef Vishal has you covered. Each course is a fresh take on classic, traditional South Indian food specifically from the Goa region. Each course wows your senses with lots of wonderful color, presentation and of course flavors. Highly recommended if you're looking for something new!“

“I came here for the first time and they were doing Karaoke (DeAnn the karaoke host was so much fun!) They are so much kinder and warmer than the cheers in downtown. Dowtown place can get a little too crazy and even if their staff screws up or something- it's always the customer's fault! As of this location, their hospitality is 100% waaaaaayyy better.. I'm a good tipper-- so I'd rather spend money on this location than downtowns location, 💯“

“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 in for a burger and a beer with some tots. It was all very tasty and very easy going. This is a terrific place to stop on and go incognito.

Vegetarian options: You can always go veggie with a pizza, and they offer a beyond burger patty for most of the sandwiches.“

“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!“

“Katya is a wonderful bartender! Attentive, kind, and very creative with her cocktail creations! I asked for a White Russian with a Fall twist, and it was AMAZING!! I also love the wonderful atmosphere this bar always has as the seasons change. As you can see in my photos their Halloween decorations were very fun and elegant.“

“Every time we go here the staff especially Alisha and Shar are the BEST but all of the staff is great no matter what time of day you go. They have pretty darn good food options and the quality is also very good. This location is by far the best one they have.“

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“
