My husband and I went to the nightmare before Christmas pop up bar. It was so incredible—one of the better themed Halloween pop up bars I’ve been to in Utah. The stories of the cocktails and the way they serve them was incredible. The themed food platters were so much fun and surprisingly delicious. Often you expect these pop ups to have mediocre food—this one was extremely tasty and fun themed.

Lovely basement speakeasy with delicious cocktails, a huge bourbon selection, lively jazz trio, and excellent food. Ambiance on point.

Kate was the best server with great recommendations. The vibe was amazing inside. Food was even more delicious, seasonal salmon couscous, with Brussels sprouts and squash all complimented each other and I left nothing behind. Pretzel bites with fondue was also so wonderful, 10/10 on my top list when I come back to Salt Lake City.

We kept coming back here because everything was so good! They have an excellent brunch menu as well as an excellent dinner menu. All the drinks are good. Standout appetizer is The Big Chhese, but you do need to order extra bread for it. Our favorite entrée was the Tommy Gun Tacos. For brunch we liked the chicken & waffles and the Eggs Benedict. We also went to their burlesque experience which was very fun!

Food was excellent. Ingredients were very intentional. The restaurant is beautiful. The waitress was very attentive. Slightly chilly in there, so bring a sweater. Would gladly return.

    We didn’t get any food, so don’t take the one star on the food into account, but we did get a specialty cocktail and I did get a glass of wine which was specially curated for me by the sommolier on hand his name is Bryant - loved the entire experience. I loved the jazz band that was there and when we showed up, we had a couple extra people with us that were not on the reservation, but the restaurant was very accommodating to make sure that we felt comfortable and that we all had a place to sit.
