Purgatory Bar

Visted from Los Angeles and took a risk on this high rated place, I lost. Arrived at 7:30pm, I had called beforehand to make sure it wasn't busy (which is wasn't). The host was friendly, scanned our I.D's, sat us down quickly. Our server (Ricky) brought my bf and I 2 glasses of water, gave us time to look over the menu. Once he took our order, everything went downhill. First, my boyfriend wanted Topo Chico (but they were out, ok so update your menu) or any mineral/bubbly water and was brought back grapefruit soda. I got a few tasters of their beer. I tried to order The Hive Winery Rasberry Stinger Cider but it's unavailable (again, update your menu). So I got a regular drink. Ricky wasn't checking up on us, he forgot our waters after he said he'd be back with some water, all while we would physically see him sitting down laughing and talking to his other tables. Other tables who had gotten their after us were getting better service than us. My boyfriend ordered the Japanese Curry rice with chicken Katsu BUT AGAIN THERE'S NO CHICKEN. UPDATE YOUR MENU. We waited so long for our food that must've just been sitting because my cheesy fries were soggy, the cheese had hardened, my chicken was barely warm and Ricky never came to check on us again, didn't ask if we needed anything (we needed water), didn't ask if the food was good, nothing. We got done eating at 8:30 and we waited for Ricky to come by to ask for the check. A CHECK NEVER CAME. My boyfriend and I were so angry with Ricky that we just did the math and luckily we had enough cash, we just put cash on the table and walked out at 9:15. The food was ok, this place was out of mineral water, chicken katsu, and the rasberry cider. UPDATE YOUR MENU. Ricky was the worst server towards us, must've been a doll to his other tables because he never showed he cared for us. To have your table wait over 1.5 hours for you to never come. I can't wait to share this experience with others to warn them.

Was looking for a good brunch spot near our hotel in downtown SLC and so glad I found this spot. Very cool, and hip boozy brunch place, with a live DJ, and great outdoor dining setup. It was really hot and all the seats with shade were taken, so we sat inside facing the outdoor space, so it kinda felt like you were outside, but not in the sun (you choose where you want to sit). The staff was super friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Sunrise Burger, which came with perfectly crispy home fries, and my gf ordered the Breaky bowl, which was delicious as well. They even had a nitro cold brew which was smooth and hit the spot. The DJ was on point, and played mostly 90s and 2000s hip hop, that I haven't heard in years, and loved every track, while enjoying my meal. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in SLC.

Cool atmosphere, fun drinks, and they finish it off with some great eats. The curry fries were a favorite and a great surprise!

Nice place for a quick bite and good drinks. My party of 5 got in first because our friend showed up before opening to get in line. The line was very long out the door. They have an interesting fusion menu. I had a tasty Udon bowl and my friends ordered tacos and breakfast platters with the usual toast, potatoes, eggs, bacon and spam.
