Long ago, this very place was “a riff-raff assemblage of cowboys, tin-horners, higher-toned gamblers, and the rag-tag and bobtail element.” According to the Salt Lake Herald, this building at 231 South on what was then known as Franklin Avenue, was originally built around 1891 for the short-lived Franklin Avenue Variety Theatre. The theatre was more famous for the secret door on the third floor above the stage than any performance. The door led to an adjoining saloon and small “wine rooms” where men and women enjoyed themselves and were waited by illegal liquor dispensers, as reported in the Deseret Weekly. Franklin was considered a tenderloin district as were the other mid-block alleys such as Commercial Street and Plum Alley. At the time, the newspapers sometimes referred to the street as “Darktown” as it was one of the only places African Americans were welcome.
Mid century modern aesthetic. Cozy on a quiet street. Excellent cocktails. Old fashions and seasonal are always solid. Professional and friendly tendies. Excellent food. Try anything. Brussel Sprouts are dank! This is a great snow day spot on account of its adorable location.
First time in this establishment. Very impressed with decor and layout. Would HIGHLY recommend the deviled eggs. So creative and delicious. I had the steak salad as well. Very upscale and unique, yet impressive recipes. And they rotate their menu! Service was exceptional as were the cocktails. They have whiskeys you rarely see elsewhere. I will DEFINITELY be back.
Love the atmosphere here, and I'm so glad they renovated this historic building! The appetizers are great, particularly the deviled eggs and the whipped feta with dill chips. But the burger is the star for me. Staff is typically friendly, and sitting at the bar is always a good time. I come often for drinks and the burger, and of course I'll be back, soon!
Delicious food, amazing service, and fun music! Came here for a work dinner and we all had a really great time. I think every single dish we had was delicious so I recommend them all. Likewise, everyone enjoyed their cocktails and beer. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the SLC area.
The best restaurant in Salt Lake City!! So good that we had to have dinner there TWICE and returned for lunch before our flight back to New York! Cannot wait to go back to Franklin Ave next time I visit Utah.
