“Scion Cider Bar in Salt Lake City is a delightful haven for cider enthusiasts, newbies, or anyone just wanting to try a new place. Let me paint a vivid picture of this gem:Atmosphere: The Scion Cider Bar exudes a relaxed and inviting vibe. As you step inside, the air hums with the promise of good times. Long communal tables and cozy bar tops beckon, creating an ideal setting for camaraderie.Eclectic Crowd: Here’s the magic: Scion manages to attract a diverse crowd.

And what pairs perfectly with games? Drinks! Scion gets it right with their enticing selection.Cider Wonderland: The bartender, with a warm smile, guides you through the cider wonderland. She’s like a compass, helping you navigate the sea of options. While I reveled in the cider flights, my hubby found his IPA match.

The cheese board awaits my return, promising a symphony of flavors.Scion Cider Bar—where conversations flow, games ignite, and cider reigns supreme. Cheers to good times! ? I will definitely be back!“
“Food was enough with portions and the flavor was enough. Not over powering and didn't have to add more. Will be going again. We sat out on the patio which had a mesh to keep bugs and wind out but still be able to see the roads.Had the Reuben and salad. Not a salad girl but dang this was amazing.Will go again soon“
“This place is so cute! From pulling up they have a little balcony with cute lights strung up, to walking inside it is such a cute authentic place to go have a drink. This was my first time trying Kombucha and it is something I cannot believe I've never tried before. Employees were quick and prompt which was very nice. Highly recommend this place for a fun place to go get drinks with friends with light appetizers.“
“Can't believe I slept on this place for three years. Amazing food (vegan and omni, Alec made sure we were happy), solid drinks, great staff, friendly regulars... Everything I want in a local haunt. And everything I've been looking for in a "metal bar" (they have a Neurosis Times of Grace flag hanging from the ceiling, ffs).“
“I absolutely love this place! My dining experience at The Pearl was nothing short of excellent. The combination of delicious Vietnamese cuisine, attentive service, and cozy atmosphere made for a memorable and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!“
“I come here A LOT with my hubby. We have had so many fond memories here such as birthday celebrations, just because, and Holiday celebrations. I have a huge girl crush on one of the gal bartenders. She’s always so nice to me and has the prettiest tattoos! I was brave enough to tell her how pretty she is and she said I am too! Everyone here is a cutie pie and I just am so happy to come here every time the food and drinks are always superb!Vegetarian options: I have vegan and vegetarian friends that are impressed with how delicious their options are! So glad we can have our meat eaters and vegetarian friends together with great drink and food options for everyone!“
“This has become my favorite cocktail bar. The dim lighting, cushioned and cozy seating areas, and funky decor touches create a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. it was not too loud so it's easy to converse, and the crowd was an eclectic and cool group of 30 and 40 somethings. I had the frosted water lily cocktail and it's the best one I've had in SLC. You can also order food from Laziz!“
“I frequently give 4's when it's great food because there's usually something that could be better. This is the best burger and fries I've ever had out, and I'm so bummed I've never eaten here before. Atmosphere is great and LOUD to the point that you're yelling at each other to be heard“
“New Year's Eve was so much fun here. I'm so disappointed I didn't get a picture of the amazing giant pretzel. I've never had such a delicious pretzel. The bartenders were quick and attentive even with the number of people crammed in the bar.“
“The drinks are amazing and so is the food, the atmosphere and music/dj is amazing.I’ve been a couple times when it’s kinda busy it’s fine but the second the bar is kinda full the bar get overwhelmed and it takes 30 mins to get anything including closing out.“
“Vegetarian options: We ordered the arugula pizza minus meat. So goodDietary restrictions: They have something for everyone!Parking: Turn in at the FOOD HALL ENTRANCE off 800sKid-friendliness: This place is very kid friendly. As we were there they had lots of kids coloring, watching Disney movies, playing with all the super awesome games provided on the patio.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level double door“
“Wonderful dinner this evening before an Eccles show next door. We had reservations and were taken right to our table. Service was excellent and really enjoyed the vibe! I love Gin and Tonics, and they have a whole selection to choose from!! I got the Onsen, which has Japanese Roku Gin, my favorite! My husband got a nonalcoholic G&T. We shared the Pan con Tomate, Cerdo, Colifor and Patatas Bravas!! Everything had great flavor and the portions were great for sharing! Can't wait to come back and try some more G&Ts and other menu items!!“
“Van Ryder Bar offers a charming ambiance with breathtaking sunsets, creating a lovely atmosphere for patrons. However, the slow service can be frustrating, and the overly fancy cocktails might not be to everyone's taste. Overall, it's a great spot for enjoying the view, but be prepared for a leisurely experience and adventurous drink options.“
“I have been to Kennedy's Cabaret a couple of times now. Kennedy, the owner, is inspiring. What she is doing goes beyond Cabaret. She is providing a venue for both experienced talent and new talent in various forms of entertainment. I have met a few of the entertainers like Ciara. Search Instagram for ciarapoledanceand Aria. Search Instagram for ariasaerials19These are just two of the fine talent Kennedy's Cabaret showcases.Aria came to our table, after her performance, and spoke with my wife and myself. She showed genuine interest in meeting us. Aria is not only talented but an athlete with strength to impress. Her pole and hoop work just amazed me.Ciara is also extremely talented and an athlete as well. She is very kind and thoughtful performer. She asked me what music artist I liked and she then gave, what felt like, a personal performance for me; making eye contact, having a smile and I swear she winked at me.Both Aria and Ciara (as well as the other performers) make the experience personal.Great performers make the extremely difficult to look easy and these women do that. Cabaret absolutely has an erotic element, and these women do not disappoint. Physically fit, toned, sexy and talented is a combination that makes tipping these performers a pleasure. They earn and deserve big tips in my book.What makes Kennedy's Cabaret different and better than other venues is the owner (Kennedy) and how she cares about the performers. Kennedy is creating more than just a cabaret but a place for artists of all kinds to have a stage and audience. From my experience at other venues, this is one of the many aspects that makes Kennedy's Cabaret a special place.Note that the cover charge goes to the talent and not the owner's pocket. Kennedy's Cabaret is the kind of place we're you will feel like you belong there and want to frequently return to. I will take photos on my next visit.As for the couple of negative reviews, I find them sad and disappointing. Those persons didn't take the time or put forth any energy to discover what a gem Kennedy's Cabaret is and how wonderful the people are that work and perform their. If you got through my long review and see this note, don't let the few negative reviews influence you to not go to Kennedy's not just once but many times.Also note the amount spent includes the tips we give to the performers. Drink prices are easy on the wallet too.Parking: There is more parking than may first meet the eye. You can park in front of the gate as the bar is open after the gate use hours. You can also park along the building on the west side of the parking lot and in front of the Soup Kitchen. There are four slots reserved for the talent. You can also park under the overpass. I have never seen any persons there that would cause me concern. I think you can also park on the street out front but I need to confirm that.“
“I had been recommended to visit this place for a while and I finally got the chance to go. We took somebody there for business meal and we were able to try several different dishes. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was excellent. I got the shakshuka which was sort of like a Middle Eastern huevos rancheros. It was excellent. We also liked the hummus and other apps.“
“I live in the neighborhood and I've been going there just about every weekend for the past year and a half. Overall fan of the staff, atmosphere, beer selection (I'm a beer guy) and events going on there. Usually found 2 seats from the left.If I do start at Urban Lounge for a show, I go to Blue Gene's next door to conclude my night.“
“As someone who appreciates a quieter atmosphere, my visit to Water Witch left me with mixed feelings. While I understand that many patrons adore this establishment, I found myself grappling with certain aspects that might not have bothered me in my younger days.Space Constraints: The first thing that struck me was the size of the place. It felt too small. The limited square footage made it challenging to move around comfortably.Crowded Environment: Unfortunately, the cozy space way too crowded. The moment we walked in it was difficult to find a quiet corner to enjoy my time.Drink Menu: Glancing at the drink menu, I noticed that the options were somewhat limited. While I appreciate simplicity, I wished for a broader variety of beverages to choose from.Bar Noise: Attempting to engage the bartender proved futile due to the crowded bar area and the deafening music. Conversations were drowned out, and I couldn’t even inquire about specific drinks.Outdoor Escape: Thankfully, Water Witch had a saving grace: a porch/deck space equipped with heaters. Stepping outside allowed me to escape the cramped interior and catch a breath of fresh air.Smoking Area: Regrettably, this outdoor space had a downside: it was also the designated smoking area. As a non-smoker, this dampened my experience.In summary, Water Witch has its merits, especially for those who thrive in lively environments. However, if you seek a more tranquil setting, consider timing your visit carefully or exploring the outdoor space. Just be prepared for a bit of cigarette smoke if you do venture outside.“
“Great for small intimate concert. You definitely have a closer view of the artist than at one of the huge venues. Bottle water was not crazy either. Lime moved pretty quick to get in. I think the only downside would be where the merch table is located for concerts. Crazy after concert! I would definitely attend another concert at this venue!“
“This place is suuuuper loud and you have to yell at each other to talk. All the arcade games are old and the music is also very loud... the place is very crowded. Vending machines are available and there's a random photo booth as well.“
“Had dinner here with some friends from work and was amazed at the quality, price, and taste of the food here. I've had a lot of hamburgers but the best one I've had is at Felt Bar & Eatery. It really is amazing gourmet food but in a very chill atmosphere at a fair price. I can't wait to go back.“
“Wow! The bartender (Daddy) made some excellent unique drinks of his own creation that tasted Soo delicious. I also ordered the fish tacos that were the best I have ever had! I highly recommend trying this spot out for the drinks, food and service. They are great! I Love it!“
“My friend and I were looking for somewhere with a patio to have a drink and an appetizer for what felt like the first warm day in a long time. The patio was perfect and the waiter offered and let me borrow their sunglasses as I had forgotten mine and was facing the setting sun. Thought that was above and beyond service and deserved to be mentioned! Thank you!“
“This is a great place and as many say a hidden gem. The ladies are very beautiful and absolutely great to chat with. Always very polite and well mannered and friendly. It is always a treat to meet any of them. Patrons can sometimes be a hit and miss, specially those who go to hang out and do not tip. These ladies really deserve better as they are probably the most beautiful leaving behind the ladies at places rated to be better - so it’s now up to you to make it even better. They serve all kinds of drinks and always your favorite beer. The entire staff is great and the food is great too - you won’t regret having a burger or their chicken tenders. Plenty of space and as opposed to most other places you can play pool and still watch the show. Just to name a few, do not miss Wendy, Blossom, Sake, Luna, Brooklyn, Lola, Ari, Lissie, Chanel, Blondie, Rae, Sammy and I’m sure I’m missing many more - you will find them at different times of the day, not like at other places where they reserve their best for prime time hours. I love the fact that they will also take requests and play your favorite songs. Be there or be square but more than anything else be a good customer because you will not be disappointed…and trust me, I know this place for decades….“
“We had dinner and drinks here and were happy with the experience. For food, definitely try the birria tacos-- super duper yummy. We also had the honey walnut shrimp and it was quite enjoyable! For drinks, we had a variety of cocktails and were happy with all of them. We also went up to their rooftop area for a while and liked the views -- it was just a much smaller space up there so we were a little squished next to other groups. The service was good, but a little bit quirky. It's hard to explain, but it just seems like since they're still new, they're trying to figure out what they want to be (theme and ambiance wise) and that's totally fine. We would definitely go back again, and we want this business to do well.“
“Fun place with a swanky but welcoming vibe. The service was fantastic. The food and drinks were a bit hit and miss. The miso fried chicken and the grilled cheese were great but I was unimpressed by the sloppy Joe and a couple of the cocktails were pretty average. The fried banana dessert was fantastic. Some of the tables are a bit odd and uncomfortable (the tall couches in the back were fun but not at all practical). Overall it was a very enjoyable evening but the price tag was up there (close to $50 a person after tax and tip) and I think they need to refine a few menu items.“
“I’ve driven past this bar for a while and never thought to stop in. Yesterday I had my chance and was impressed. They have a fenced/shaded dog friendly patio which is super cool and excites me to come back with mine.The staff is on top of it and super friendly. We had multiple staff make sure we were taken care of the entire time. Drinks were great. Food came out very fast and was quite good. It’s bar food so I’m not going to bash too much. The Cuban was good, not too dry, well seasoned but not authentic. The buffalo chicken salad was also great with bleu cheese. The serving of chicken was very healthy considering the cost. Fries were on point and served with fry sauce.They do specifically have a vegan menu that they get a lot praise for, I’ll have to add to my review on my next visit.I’d absolutely come back here. Super friendly place.Vegetarian options: Vegan menu“
“Since the owner Val toom over a couple years ago, this place has been a hit spot for me. She is so charismatic, fun, friendly and welcoming. So much great energy here. Love coming for karaoke. They have an awesome DJ. Positive vibes from here. Always!Also love the Mexican restaurant adjacent to Mannys. Awesome that they'll deliver your food to you so you don't miss your spot in karaoke ?“
“Jade is the most attentive bartender. Spot on with requests and definitely knows her ingredients. She always helpful with finding the right cocktail if needed and is super sweet and friendly when helping with drink choices. This is the original TWC and I love that it still exists. I wish this location had more days/hours of service, but I get it with the economy these days. I would definitely frequent more often if it offered more days of the week option.“
“What an amazing atmosphere and even better staff! I hosted a social event in the “Church” for up to 75 people and it couldn’t have been smoother from an operations standpoint.Thank you Heather for helping me plan the event.Thank you Anita for hosting us with great service and a smile.“
“Love this spot. Apps in particular are always good. Cocktails are delicious. Beer selection on point. However, the way they serve beer is disappointing, especially considering the care they clearly put into selecting imports and interesting beers to serve. Belgians, IPAs, Saison, etc are served in a Boston shaker pint glass. For such an elevated atmosphere and dining experience, I would expect them to use proper glassware to serve their brews.“
“We didn't get any food but my drink was really good. Great Bartender! This place has a lot of old school games and pin ball machines. Only 2 skeeball lanes and 2 basketball games. They have a photo booth that prints 2 copies to share! Fun place to hang out for an hour or two.“
“The Tavernacle Social Club, SLC, located east of Ruth Chris steak house is the best dueling pianos I have ever seen. The talent is funny, interactive and extremely talented.Service was very slow. Atmosphere was nice until a bunch of 20 somethings came in and thought it was funny to pay to have the talent sing the most vulgar songs I’ve ever heard, and I’m no prude. Several tables walked out.The drinks were delicious. Good food.Idk if this has turned into a 20 something Club, but I will return to find out.You have to park in a pay parking terrace or parking lot across the street. Casual dress.“
“Ok y'all, hear me out. This place isn't the fanciest, but that's what makes it great. They cook up a steak sexier than a summer dress on a windy day. The char makes you want to run out into the street and yell a high pitched "yeah" at the top of your lungs. The menu is so reasonably priced, and the portions so large, you'll struggle not leaving a larger tip than you normally would. Know what you're getting yourself into, Post 71 is full of "regulars", so you may get an up and down look as an outsider, but the staff are as friendly as can be and will make sure you are well taken care of. Sadly, I missed the memo that the André the Giant worthy T-bone steak is only served on Saturdays and requires a two day in advance RSVP. If you want a good solid meal that won't break the bank, come over and support Post 71.“
“went here for the first time last night. typically hate bars but really liked this one. wasn’t too loud but I guess it was also a Tuesday. The bartender was funny and the service was perf. He was also hot, if he’s reading this. Will be returning, and not just to give the bartender my phone number lmao.“
“Nice spot to meet up with people, they have some larger tables as well as cute 2-people spots. The service is friendly and there's water easily accessible close to the bathrooms. I personally like the vibe of other places a bit more but it's not a bad spot! I believe there is parking around the back, my group and I weren't sure at first so we parked elsewhere and walked 2 blocks to get here.“
“Love this place! Amazing gay bar, fantastic and fun shows like comedy shows and drag shows, beautiful outdoor patio in the bar, plenty of seating, 2-3 bars, and the silent disco downstairs is one of my FAVORITE things to do in Salt Lake City, hands down. The bartenders and fun and they have a crazy and fun drink menu. Cannot recommend this place enough.“
“Great spot for a beer and encounter with friendly staff. Go here if you are looking for a fun and relaxing bar experience. Also, the guests during my visit were all really kind. Some places bring about a certain patronage!Cheers!From reviewing other posts I highly encourage anyone to post their experience as it seems attention has been given to account for previously poor customer service.“
“Great bar! Took my husband out for his 30th and we had some drinks while waiting for our reservation at Takashi. We both love the sparkling sake draft, and I tried their kurosawa nigori which was such a nice unfiltered sake. Very smooth and sweet. Squirreled Away had a nice mandarin flavor to it. We also decided to try a couple plates. The taro scotch egg was so good and the sauce was like this really nice chili crisp with a husky flavor that complemented it well. The birria dumplings had an incredible consomé that tasted better than when I've gotten birria other places. Very nice drinks, nice food, great vibes.“
“Stopped in again today for food Saturday afternoon. Same situation with awkward parking and gruff bouncer, but as it was a bit slower I got great service and all my questions answered. The place is still the same, but as I asked about burgers they let me in with drink and burger order (12$ total, 8$ for burger and 4$ for soda). No root beer or creme soda, so I got sprite again. There were two dancers and three patrons, only one of which was watching (from the bar). As before the dancers here are the most fun and though it was hard to hear, the chatting is nice. The burger arrived hot and fresh, and with tons of good fries and with fry sauce. The first bite was tasty. The ingredients seemed to be all good, except that the cheese was heavily processed and the bun was a bit stale. As I write this now, I feel a little ill, so I probably won't get it again, but it didn't diminish my short visit today so I still recommend this place as the best small strip club in SLC.“
“Stopped in for lunch and had the New York strip steak. It was perfectly cooked. Mashed potatoes were unique and delicious. The meal didn’t leave me weighted down, it was the perfect combo.Service was great. Ambience was nice as well.Definitely coming back!“

“Spitz is such a fun, hip little restaurant, and this was our first time going to this location in Sugarhouse (we usually hit up the original downtown one). Awesome, friendly staff, and great vibe with the same hot pink tentrilled light fixture in the center of the room. It really looks like a place people go on a date to, but we went as a family and enjoyed the food, the music, the board/card games they had available to play, and the chalk board to draw on. They had plenty of high chairs and lower tables for the littles, so bring your family.Always get the pita bread, btw! It's the best and I dream of it always. Ahhhh!“
“Maxwell's Little Bar is a fantastic neighborhood spot for delicious food and drinks! I moved into the building housing this pub and love it!The staff are so welcoming and friendly plus getting to meet my new neighbors in a relaxing open space has been great. It's definitely worth checking out!“
“Fair prices and beer/liquor/wine selection. Never overly empty or packed on a weekend in my experience, which means there’s a decent shot at a game or two on the pool table. Not overrun by college kids. 5 stars for being a couple blocks from my place and the aforementioned reasons.“
“Atmosphere was perfect. Exactly how you imagine a classic hotel bar. The drinks were perfectly crafted. Nick was very personable. I forget the other bartenders name tonight (which is stupid of me because all bartenders wear nametags in Utah), but he showed traits that I look for in a bartender. The bar was fully stocked. If there was a cocktail they weren't familiar with, they took great care to make it precisely and balanced. 10 out of 10. Will recommend when I have family visit.“
“Small and intimate playing Cypress Hill on the jukebox. If you like beer you can order 4 for $10. They give you a pint and three tokens so the draft is fresh every pour. Big Willie's is right across the street so you can order food from Big Willie's and they will deliver your food with a big smile and extra Fry sauce. You can call in your order. There is an app but not sure if you can order food from it. If you order food to be delivered, break it off for them with a $10 spot at least, just sayin'. We're play playing a league tournament and everyone is having a good time, win or lose. I like this little spot. Big industrial sized Golden Tee, big screen TVs showing sports and they do Karaoke! Cool ass bar!“
“VFW posts are well known for being very supportive of veterans and this post is no exception. They run an open bar, non-veterans are welcome, and you don’t need to be a BFW member to have a drink there. Drinks are very cheap, the bartenders are friendly and fast, you can run a tab with a credit card, and they have pretty good bands most weekends. This is not a fancy bar. I was there with some other vets and it was very friendly. I recommend it.“
“This is a diamond in the rough! Nice, calm and low key. The staff is great and the prices are better! Nice seating area,pool table and some games. This is must at if you are in the area. Definitely make you feel welcome! Don't miss out!“
“My daughter took us here while we were visiting Utah. The food was amazing and the cocktails were even better. We gad such a great experience we went back a couple days later for lunch. The ham and cheese sandwich was one of our favorites! Thank you Brent for providing such a memorable experience. We will be back!“
“Salt and Olive was great! there's a coffee shop attached to the restaurant, although you place the order separately they still bring the coffee to your table which was super cool. the place is super cute and was really chill for brunch on a sunday! not crazy busy or loud at all and the service was fantastic.“
“Pretty cool little corner spot for some excellent Detriot style pizza. The folks were welcoming and attentive, the atmosphere was decorated nicely, and they had a wide selection of beers. I enjoyed their monster on the wall eating pizza. Brickzilla? Bring an appetite when you arrive, this pizza will not disappoint! Thanks for the experience.“
