This bar, located in Salt Lake City, Utah is a vintage-chic lounge that promises an elevated experience with imaginative American bites, craft cocktails, and an impressive selection of beer and whiskey. The atmosphere screams laid-back sophistication, making it an appealing spot for a night out in the city.

Here’s the thing though—if you’re planning to bring your pup along, this dog friendly bar comes with some important caveats worth knowing about upfront. While the establishment markets itself as dog-friendly and staff members have been described as super friendly on the phone, there’s a notable disconnect between what visitors are told over the phone and what actually happens when they arrive with their four-legged friends. Some visitors have reported being told their well-behaved dogs couldn’t join them on the patio, despite seeing other dogs already seated there. The alternative offered—tying your dog up outside the restaurant while you dine—isn’t exactly the welcoming patio experience most dog owners are hoping for when they call ahead asking about pet policies.

That said, this dog friendly bar does have legitimate appeal for those without dogs or willing to leave their pups at home. The food menu leans toward creative American fare, and the drink program is genuinely impressive with happy hour specials to look forward to. The space offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, table service, takeout, and dine-in experiences. It’s wheelchair accessible at the entrance and accepts both credit and debit cards. The vibe is LGBTQ+ friendly and marketed as a transgender safespace, which speaks to an inclusive atmosphere for all humans at least.

If you’re set on finding a truly dog-friendly dining and drinking experience in Salt Lake City, it might be worth checking out other neighborhood spots that have a more consistent track record with canine companions. But if you’re flying solo or pup-free, this venue could definitely deliver on the cocktails and food front.
