The 20 Best Restaurants In Salt Lake City - Salt Lake City - The Infatuation

"Tradition, a cozy neighborhood restaurant and bar near Liberty Park, is maybe the best example of the weird remnants of Utah liquor laws. They have a bar tucked behind swinging saloon doors, where cocktail ingredients remain hidden from the eyes of all the curious and impressionable minors (who apparently have never seen gin before). Their dishes lean southern and layer in Utah cuisine with comfort classics, like fried green tomatoes, meatloaf, and a hot dish casserole called funeral potatoes. The bar churns out cocktails like the Fire & Ice, a fusion of gin, blackberry sage shrub, and spiced serrano honey, that’s great for when it’s so cold outside, your nose hairs start to freeze." - Jenny Willden
