About Melancholy

Melancholy is a cozy and welcoming wine bar that stands out in the Salt Lake City scene. The atmosphere is warm, with lovely seasonal décor that makes it a great place to hang out, enjoy a glass of wine, and read a book. It is highly recommended for a date night or a quiet evening.

The wine program is thoughtfully curated, featuring unpretentious wines from different regions and varietals, some familiar and others surprising. The selection includes bio-dynamic and lesser-known wine makers, chosen from a global perspective. The bar is located inside a unique building that used to be an old Post Office, and the attention to detail in the design makes it feel timeless. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the inviting environment.

Recently, visitors have enjoyed signature cocktails like Goat in the Garden, which were praised for their quality and the bartender's skill, Randy. Guests also appreciated the knowledgeable and kind bartender Jill, who made great drinks and was fun to talk with. Many noted the quiet vibe and the upstairs seating where cocktails are brought to you, making it a perfect hidden gem for cocktails and wine. Overall, Melancholy is a special place for those seeking a charming atmosphere, excellent drinks, and attentive service.
