Another relatively brisk session for the first DABS meeting of the year. The following businesses all received their liquor licenses at the end of January.
Full-service restaurant licenses (liquor, beer, wine)
- The Brick, Salt Lake City
- Contigo Peru-Utah, West Valley City
- Woodward, Park City
- Embassy Suites, West Valley City
- Killa, Salt Lake City
- Gossip Kitchen, Salt Lake City
Notable in that list is Killa, the new Peruvian-Japanese concept that has quietly opened in the former Current Fish & Oyster space (pictured top). I believe the restaurant is the work of the same group behind the likes of Mi Buena Vida. Also interesting, a recent social media posting by the business confirms dining is by reservation only; that’s a first for SLC, at least as far as I am aware.
Bar licenses
- Wolfdog Brewing, Sandy
- Burger Lab, Salt Lake City
Another note, on the second name there. Burger Lab goes into the old Under Current space – located just North of Killa. My understanding is that it, too, is run by the same operators.
Limited-service restaurant licenses (beer, wine)
- Whidbey’s a Daytime Eatery, Saratoga Springs
- Magleby’s, Pleasant Grove
- Fort Cuisine of India, Ogden
- Fort Cuisine of India, Layton
- Laan Thai Restaurant, Logan
- Shoga Sushi Bar, Orem
- North Creek Escalante, Escalante
Other items
Kid Curry (Salt Lake City) received both a manufacturing license and a Type 5 package agency, allowing them to retail direct to the public (including Sundays and holidays). Lastly, La Unica (Smithfield) received a beer-only restaurant license.
