New York sour hellooooooo
Brighton F.

Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls children over the age of 21, you don't want to miss out on this perfect lounge. Leo is the most kick ass bartender you'll find in salt lake, I'm serious. His New York sour changed my life just now and I don't even like alcohol. Makes an insane espresso martini as well, and a stellar cosmo. There's nothing about this bar that I would change. I feel blessed sitting in this spacious booth surrounded by my closest friends right now.

Customer service was so great! Went solo and got treated amazing, awesome service and good drinks. Perfect cozy vibe

Rooftop hangs
Lo M.

If you're anything like me, you relish in a rooftop hang. Drift Lounge has the best of both worlds with a stunning interior and vibey rooftop! It's located in the developing Granary District and adds such a wonderful touch to the neighborhood. Their cocktail list is super creative but a little pricey, which was okay with me since the atmosphere was well worth the visit. Being attached to the neighboring food hall, they serve tons of food options with a little bit of something for everyone. Drift Lounge also hosts various events such as trivia, drag brunches, and live music performances! This is definitely going to become one of my new hangout spots in the city!

The check your bags and pay you down before going in which I appreciate. You walk in and are greeted by the bar then it opens up into the dance floor. Drinks were good and a lot of people were dancing. As the night went on, it did fill up and get really cramped. They have VIP areas where the bottle girls do the little signs and lights if you're looking to celebrate something. Fun vibes and I plan on coming back if there is another event I want to go too. I'm also interested in the rooftop bar!!

But I'm sad to say that tonight will be my last night going to Sky. I was assaulted by a girl who was pushing to the front and I put my elbows up to prevent it and then got shoved and punched in the face. Never thought I would be the victim of assault but alas, here we are. What made the situation worse was Tony, the security guard chose to believe the 22 year old girls who assaulted me instead of me and my shiner, then gaslit me and told me that I must've been the one being the asshole. Sorry to no longer go to a place that usually brings in good djs but I cannot abide the crowd. Super over it. Will not be returning ever, no matter the headliner. One too many negative experiences. Should've stopped a long time ago.

I want to come work here! The food was really good, and really expensive! Our bill was $145 for the two of us. Our server Jaxson was really knowledgeable on the menu, and really friendly. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house as all the burlesque dancers move around the space. Be prepared with some ones to tip them, but they also take Venmo. I'd love to come back!

I promise you won't get in trouble!" Uh-huh. ;) Alright, I digress. Awkwardness aside, Prohibition is a really great place to enjoy a classy dinner, where the meat is served on a place AND on stage, and the cheesecake comes with the price of admission! Speaking of admission, as my wife and I were guests, being shepherded along by our friend, I cannot recall exactly what the "cover charge" was (not much, if I remember correctly...less than $20 for two?), and if reservations are *required*, I cannot say for certain, but I would say they are *recommended* at the very least, because our showtime was packed. Anyway, once paid, you are escorted through a secret bookcase door (SLC residents sure do love their speakeasies, don't they?), and into the dining hall and saloon, where you're soon to have your socks knocked off...well, someone's clothes are coming off, anyway! We were given a table that I dismissively thought was tucked away pretty far in the back and out of the way, but it ended up being one of the best seats in the house, as the table where the performers gathered, prepped, and returned to was just adjacent to us, so we were about as up close and personal as you can get, without getting yourselves arrested. Each of the dancers brought their own style, flair, and wardrobe to their performances, which were spirited and energetic, and a touch racy, without devolving into outright debauchery. It may be an (18+? 21+?) venue, but alcohol restrictions aside, I wouldn't hesitate to take older, more mature teens to a show with similar content. We ordered a smattering of smaller dishes, as we weren't particularly hungry, but the Mishima Wagyu tacos were fantastic (as you would expect), as was the Fedora Fin (Za'atar-crusted ahi tuna), and all of our cocktails. As the show is timed event with multiple performances per night, both food and bev are fired out of the kitchen/bar faster than the bullets from a Tommy Gun, but with far better accuracy. The whole operation here was honestly very impressive, from start to finish. Coming from a progressive city like Portland, it's always struck me a little odd that places that, by reputation, strike you as more conservative end up having some of the best, most wild entertainment venues, that you only wish you had back home. Prohibition is one of these places that I would rather see in my downtown, instead of the litany of seedy strip joints pushing for maximum titilation, but with only a fraction of the class and sophistication. Prohibition is good, clean fun, masquerading as something illicit, which is the heart of what makes it work so well.

I read a few reviews before posting mine and am surprised to see recent reviews not loving the food…read moreat Aker. We just tried it for the first time and everything we had was delicious. We started with the hanabi. Crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and avocado, finished with sliced jalapeño, micro greens, and agave soy reduction. Next we tried the aker crunch roll. Not the greatest roll we've ever had, but definitely better quality than sushi at most places in Utah. I'd get it again. We then tried the toro and sablefish nigiri. The toro was great. My wife didn't want to try it and at the end of the meal said it was her favorite thing. The sablefish is good, but if you've had the sablefish at Takashi you'll be a little disappointed with this one. I would skip that next time and just get the toro. Star of the show for me was the wagyu ribeye. The steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The bone marrow butter jus and chimichurri were both great and I found myself switching between the two. I also enjoyed the carrots and polenta that came with the steak. For dessert we had the butter cake. It was good. Not as good as the one at sol agave, and I think the one we had at Felt next door was even better, but we still really enjoyed it. Service was really good and we can't wait to go back.

We were excited to try Aker, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype, especially for the…read moreprice. We started with the Wagyu tartare and bone marrow. The concept sounded great, but the dish wasn't balanced. It leaned overwhelmingly savory, and the toasted bread served alongside it was so hard it was difficult to eat without feeling like you might crack a tooth. Overall, it was just mediocre. Next, we had the torched sablefish nigiri. It lacked the depth of flavor I was expecting. If you've been to Takashi, their sablefish nigiri is significantly better. The Wagyu nigiri was good, but again, nothing memorable. Takashi's version has more flavor and is executed better. The Aker Crunch Roll was probably the biggest disappointment. It tasted like something you'd find at an average strip mall sushi restaurant, not at a high-end establishment. The highlight of the meal was the Wagyu ribeye plate. The steak itself was excellent quality and cooked well. The baby carrots were very good, and the polenta was outstanding. The only miss on the plate was the chimichurri, which had an overpowering raw onion flavor that overwhelmed everything else. Service also left something to be desired. Our waitress had an unusual habit of lingering at the table much longer than necessary during every interaction, which became uncomfortable. She also failed to notice that my wife's drink had been empty for quite a while, and I eventually had to wave down another staff member to get it refilled. For a bill of around $250 before drinks or dessert, I expected a much more polished and memorable experience. While there were a few bright spots, they weren't enough to justify the cost. Overall, I wouldn't return, and I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere if you're looking for a truly exceptional sushi and Wagyu experience.

At $29 with the steak, they're definitely on the pricier side, but the portion size helps justify the cost. The serving is massive--I could easily see two or even three people sharing it as a meal. By the time I finished, it honestly looked like I had barely made a dent in it. The steak was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, and every bite was loaded with toppings. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I stopped by during an off-peak time, so it wasn't very busy, which made for a relaxed experience. One thing that really stood out was their Guinness. As someone who appreciates a proper pour, I have to give them credit--they know exactly what they're doing. Too many places rush it, but here you can tell they take pride in serving it the right way. Their drink selection is also extensive. Whether you're a beer fan or looking to try a unique cocktail, there's no shortage of great options. I'd definitely come back, especially with a group to help tackle those nachos!

The food was good, we had the potato empanada and the wagyu skewers. Both were tasty and prepared well. There was live music that was really good and we enjoyed the people they had booked. There is a cool speak easy down stairs and a dance floor upstairs (we didn't see that). Overall, the place is really cool. I will concur that our minimal encounter with staff was less that stellar. Not sure why there were all the security guys mean mugging ayerone. Recommend this place for a drink and some grub.
