6 Hours, 5 Spots, 9 Drinks in Salt Lake City π»β¨
If I ever get the chance to go fully remote and live wherever, Iβd spend one of the seasons in Salt Lake City. Plenty of sunshine, mountain views right outside your window β a city thatβs both chill and bright. SLC is also super welcoming even if you donβt drive or arenβt comfortable behind the wheel β light rail, buses, and ride-shares are all easy. A dream for casual drinkers on the move! ππΉ π Koyote Dropped by on the way to the airport. Tucked in a residential area, low-key outside but modern inside. We skipped the ramen β my friend got the Sashimi Don (fresh except one aged silver-skinned fish that was strong), I tried the Loco Moco (Hawaiian burger rice β way too salty!). Whipped Tofu Dip with scallion pancake was delicious though β smooth sesame-tofu-garlic spread. π Publik Coffee Roasters Went straight for coffee in the afternoon β they roast their own beans. Espresso Tonic was refreshing, though the beans didnβt leave a strong impression. But sitting by the window gazing at the distant mountains made the whole afternoon feel well spent. π Bar Nohm Luckily snagged a reservation! Small plates perfect for solo dining. The menu changes often β missed the famous chicken skin, but the yakitori (chicken heart, pork belly, thigh, mushroom, beef) was tasty. Oden was warm and comforting β would hit even better in colder weather. The soft-boiled egg was perfect. Had three cocktails β all light and easy-drinking: πΈ Guava Margarita β with chili, like a juicy guava dipped in chili powder. π The Owner β came with a tiny pineapple cake on the ice, sweet and creamy, great for after the meal. π₯ Ranch Manager β refreshing with a hint of smoke and cucumber freshness. Left super satisfied! π Scion Cider Bar Right around the corner from Bar Nohm β decided to keep the night going. A whole menu and a wall full of ciders! 23 taps that day β 8 house-made, mostly Utah apples with flavors like melon and lavender. Sampled 5 small pours β didnβt catch the names, but each had distinct character. Fun experience! π Proper Brewing Co. Same neighborhood β was pretty much done drinking, but couldnβt leave without trying Utah craft beer. Went for their Balkansko β a crisp, light lager β before heading to catch my flight. #SaltLakeCity #DrinkDiary #SLCExploration ποΈπ₯π
