In the past year or so, I’ve commented regularly – and happily – about how far bar fare has come since the days of pretzels, pickled eggs and, if lucky, maybe a plate of Buffalo wings. Elevated cuisine at 21 and over bars such as Franklin Ave. Cocktails & Kitchen, Whiskey Street, The Garage on Beck, Varley, Lake Effect, White Horse Spirits & Kitchen, Palomino, Citizens, Flanker Kitchen + Sporting Club, Post Office Place, Bar Nohm, The Sticky Wicket, BTG Wine Bar, and the bar at Laurel are serving up legit, creative bar food that rivals our state’s best restaurants. And nobody is doing it better than the talented team at Felt Bar & Eatery in downtown SLC. The next time you have a notion to visit The Melting Pot, do yourself a favor and cross Main Street to Felt instead. You won’t regret it. They are taking bar fare into the stratosphere.
