Bodega and The Rest

Bodega and The Rest in downtown Salt Lake City offers a dual concept combining the casual street-level Bodega tavern with an exclusive subterranean speakeasy. The Bodega serves no-frills cocktails, draft beer, and shots in an accessible setting, while The Rest—accessible by reservation or bartender approval—features dark wood, taxidermy, vintage books, and carefully curated spirits reminiscent of a literary bar from another era. With an impressive array of unique cocktails crafted by skilled mixologists emphasizing quality ingredients and New American cuisine highlighting seasonal flavors, the venue has gained recognition as one of Utah's top cocktail destinations for drinks that balance unexpected tastes with refinement.
