Part of the appeal of living in downtown Salt Lake City is the vibrant energy of the city. Whether it’s athletic events, Broadway quality plays, concerts, or even an evening at a museum there’s so much to do! Unfortunately, the prologue or epilogue to these events can’t always happen in your kitchen. Which is why it’s good to learn about some of the local restaurants Salt Lake City has to offer. Here are five to help start your search, we’re certain that at least one of them is sure to become a new favorite.
 
 

Hallpass SLC 
The place to go when everyone can’t agree on where to go. Hallpass SLC is the gateway’s prime food hall experience. With a variety of vendors, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, it’s sure to have something for everyone in your group. Sports fanatics will also love the extended hours for every Utah Jazz and Utah Hockey Club game. Creating the perfect hangout spot for a watch party with friends or a post-game night cap.  
 
Crown Burgers 
Sometimes you just want to go with a high-quality down to earth classic. In Salt Lake City that means Crown Burgers. From their primary location along 200 S. Crown Burgers has been the go-to spot for some quick hot food to begin a night of memory making since 1978. It is almost requisite to have one of their Pastrami Burgers before you can call yourself a true Salt Laker.  


The Bruce Scottish Pub
 
Back at Gateway is a place where the British Pub meets the American Sports Bar. Here you can enjoy pub grub staples from the United Kingdom like Bangers & Mash, Fish n Chips and savory meat pies. As well as the usual sports bar fare, sometimes with a Scottish twist. Whatever your choice, a hearty meal here is sure to leave you filled, satisfied and ready for wherever the night will take you.

For those interested in a more upscale experience, Urban Hill has you covered. Located in the trendy Post District, and a 2024 James Beard nominee chef at the helm, dinner will become an experience. This meticulous menu offers meals prepared over a wood-fired grill, an oyster bar, and a wide array of wines. While diners can choose between an expansive longue, private dining, and patios from where to enjoy your meal. You will not forget a charming night here.
