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.

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! ?

“Wonderful ambiance.We ate brunch on the patio on a terrific spring day after catching some of the SLC Marathon.We had the Oasis omelet, grilled cheese and soup, grilled tuna sandwich (photo uncle), steak sandwich ( photo included), and chicken sandwich with avocado.The service was exceptional throughout.I highly recommend this establishment.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service. Been too long since i have had Lebanese food and this hit so hard. All the employees killed it today, sorry i didn't get your names. Even saw a guy with a kitchen T-shirt on grab menus and sit down customers as they walked in when the servers were running food. Thats pro stuff love to see it. And again the food was so good. Next time i am back in SLC i will come here!“
“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.“
“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 an amazing experience since I walked into London Belle. It is a hidden gem that more people should come in to discover! I really enjoyed the bone marrow with the chimichurri sauce, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Sammy was our server and she went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. She explained the menu thoroughly, made very good recommendations, was attentive, friendly, and overall super sweet. Recommending London Belle to all my friends, and you should too!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Visit on a Thursday afternoon. Staff are very nice. Service is a bit challenged. Not certain if staffing issues or they did not prepare for the day. I would have taken pictures of our food but a 20 minute wait for a table resulted in us being really hungry by the time we were finally served. I'll give them another opportunity and adjust accordingly.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We found this gem on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Definitely worth the visit. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food with plenty of gluten-free options for those with diet restrictions. Being downtown, parking can be a bit of an issue, but the experience is worth the trouble. Also, if visiting during peak times, reservations should be considered.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Amazing service, delicious food, good choice of wines by the glass and bottle,.plenty of taps and multiple screens for watching the NCAA Basketball Tournament. We liked it so much, we visited 3 times during our 4 day trip. My favorite was the Garlic Burger--Yum!“
“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.“
“The food is great and all. But we honestly love coming here for our favorite server, Megan. She is so personable, bubbly, helpful, knowledgeable, everything. My triple dipper is always delicious ? but it tastes better when Megan brings it out! Great location. Always satisfied. ?✌?“
“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!“
“Brae is amazing! Make sure you request him! The lettuce wraps and the crab, avocado and shrimp appetizer is exactly what I was looking for - filling and flavorful (especially the salsa). If an intimate atmosphere is what you’re looking for then stop by! If you tell Brae what type of drink you are looking for he won’t steer you wrong!“
“I love that this place makes great cocktails, has a huge selection of whiskey and isn’t over priced. They aren’t pretentious here, they just do it right. Favorite bar in slc.I also reserved the back room for an event here and Julie was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. We had our own bartender, Cam, for the reserved space and he was fantastic! They even let me customize the cocktail menu. It was awesome! I’ve been raving about it to everyone I know and all my friends want to host their next event here also“
“Technically, they don't serve food but I wasn't going to ding their overall score just because they serve zero food. They literally reside under a restaurant that will deliver, down the stairs, plus they openly suggestion just having food delivered (which is what we did, had Chili's food delivered).I just love this little place. It's the epitome of a dive bar but oddly clean, just old, and very very safe. You can literally touch the ceiling (it's called downunder because it's in a basement). It's also the most economical bar I've found in all of Utah, there might be special nights for even better deals but otherwise just a good local pub. We're newer to the area but you can tell that there's just a bunch of regulars and everyone really does know everybody else in there. A guest next to our table overheard part of our conversation and introduced themselves and had something to add. This can sound creepy but it just worked here, guy was nice and also knew when to head off back to his table (thanks Bruce).We visit at least once a month and I highly recommend it, have whatever you want for food just delivered.“
