Felt Bar & Eatery

A night here feels like stepping into a space that understands mood as much as it understands flavor. The lighting is low but well placed, the design layered with velvet and polished metal. 

Felt’s strength lies in the cohesion of the food and cocktail programs that speak fluently to each other and reinforce the other’s creativity. Whether spirit-forward or bright and citrusy, drinks arrive balanced and precise. A casual drink can easily turn into a full evening. The culinary offerings are a study in technical precision with respect to ingredients and genuine playfulness with flavors. The staff has an easy command of both the drink and food menus, offering suggestions that prove to be sincere and knowledgeable.

At Felt, the atmosphere draws you in, the cocktails intrigue you, and the food ensures you’ll return. 

The vibe: The vibe strikes a refined and stylish balance. One table could be a couple leaning into candlelight, while another is filled with friends gathered around small plates. Solo customers are perfectly content at the bar, watching the choreography of the cocktail program unfold at the open bar that acts as both an anchor and a theater for the space. Conversations flow easily across tables, and the bar hums with activity as bartenders craft drinks.

The food: Shareable small plates lead the dining experience, encouraging exploration of a variety of proteins and snacks. Look to the raw bar menu for a luxury seafood moment. Even simple items like roasted vegetables, housemade breads, or seasonal salads are surprisingly complex in taste and texture. Every item on the plate has a purpose. 

The drink: Felt is a bar so what’s in the glass is paramount. Imbibers will always find a house menu of highballs, martinis, and old fashioned. From there, the cocktail program rotates regularly and seasonally, so one visit could lead to a citrus-peel-infused gin with herbal syrup made from trimmed stems, while a smoky mezcal drink arrives balanced with fresh-pressed juices and a subtle chili finish. Lighter drinks might be brightened with pickle juice, yuzu, or cucumber. Spirits from local Utah distilleries to international bottles give the drink menu both depth and range.
