Best nachos in Salt Lake City! Great atmosphere, great staff, great drinks! We had the Lake Effect Sour and Water Tiger cocktails. Water Tiger had more smoky flavor than I like, but that’s personal preference. Lake Effect Sour was fantastic! And seriously those nachos are incredible—and huge, so bring friends to share! Had to wait about 30 min to get because we didn’t know we needed a reservation, but that’s not a biggie. We will be back! Well done Lake Effect! 🙌

We visited with a few friends on a week night and were impressed to find that they had live music and a food menu that goes late. They even have a late night menu. Great selection of beers, cocktails, and food. Good amount of vegetarian options. I think tried the Jamaica and avocado tacos which were both great.

My wife and i came here for a double date snd enjoyed it. The ambiance is really nice! If you like taking pictures on nice seats , you’ll find a few opportunities for that. The food was delicious!!! It came out all together , hot and fresh! I did order an appetizer and an entree and they both came out together. If want the appetizer first I’d recommend you to specify. We got the nachos, avocado tacos, fried pickles and a charcuterie board. We happen to be there while it shifted to a nightlife and it was fun. Live music, 2 floors of entertainment with outside hangout. The service here for dinner and nightlife was top line!

Been here twice and loved it each time. Tin can nachos are amazing and honestly enough for 3-4 people to share as a meal. Tacos have been great—the Parmesan fries are absolutely delicious. Wife really enjoyed the charcuterie board. Amazing selection of drink. The PB&G is a must to try.

Questions & Answers

Is this a bar/club? Can we dance or is it more just like to drink?

As Mike said we have live music both upstairs and in the Rabbit Hole basement on the weekends with small dance areas on each level. We're also working hard on remodeling our 2nd and 3rd floors which will have much more space to dance, so check back, we've got great things happening!

Can I order a pitcher of beer, or do they just do pints?

Chris Terry | Apr 15, 2019
Lake Effect (Owner) | Apr 16, 2019

We do not serve pitchers. We do have imperial pints, which are 20 oz. And as Cory Vore mentioned, we have a huge selection of bottles beers, including large formats from Epic and Proper Brewing.

Where's a good place to park I've never been there but plan on going Sunday to see Brooke mackintosh perform at noon.

Sunday's downtown is pretty mellow and you should be able to get free parking right out in front on the street. Any other day of the week, I would recommend the parking garage on Pierpont, or Capital Parking. Obviously it's always better to grab a lyft if you're going to be drinking! See you Sunday, Dave.
