Scoop was amazing! One of the best bartenders in salt lake by far. He’s so creative and innovative when making his craft cocktails. Fast and friendly place. 11/10!!!

Cocktails are hard to find in SLC but this place has them. The prices are also very reasonable in my experience. Our server was great & very patient with a few aholes.

I'm sure this bar is great for people who are a little nervous bit older than me and my partner. We are in our early twenties. When we arrived at the bar, we got a series of dirty looks from both the patrons and staff, everyone who looked to be late 20s, into 30s-40s. I assume maybe because we are younger we didn't get the model of customers that Water Witch wants, but that seems to be a bad business model. After waiting for 20 minutes in a packed bar with nowhere to sit or even stand, we left to get a drink someplace more welcoming. No staff approached us or even smiled at us to let us know we would be served soon, except the staff member who rushed to scan our IDs. We were excited to try some new drinks and explore Water Witch's menu, but we won't return.

This place is a vibe. Really enjoyed the knowledgeable bartenders dishing out some fire drinks. Great cocktails, just a great spot overall. Feel lucky to have came here on a whim and it exceeded expectations by a mile.

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.

A friend of mine is a former bartender, and he suggested that we meet up at Water Witch to get a Vesper. I figured that he would know where to go, given his professional experience. He wasn't wrong-they made a great drink. He also pointed out that they don't have a cocktail menu-you just request what you want and they make it. I think that's a sign that they know their stuff-they don't have to rely on a template or list of recipes. But that also means you have to know what you want, or give some kind of guidance. It's a small bar with limited seating, so it can get pretty cozy on certain nights. When the weather doesn't suck too much, you can sit outside on the patio, which nearly doubles the seating capacity. Parking is pretty limited, but there's a Trax station very close-so take advantage of that! On a separate note, I didn't see a water witch anywhere..in case you're looking.
