Travel｜Salt Lake City – Bodega and The Rest 🍸

Quick Summary: If you’re here just for drinks – it’s a great vibe bar! One of their cocktail highlights is the use of Honest John Bitters – worth a try if you're into unique flavors. If you're here for the food – not recommended ❗ Possibly because we went during peak hours, but all three dishes arrived at once after a 20+ minute wait, so the maitake mushrooms and steak were served cold. 🍽️ What we ordered (tried my best to photograph in the dim lighting 🥲): 🧀 Charcuterie Board for 2 ✅ Recommended! The homemade pickle was surprisingly good—even for someone who usually dislikes pickles. Crisp, fresh, and not chemically at all. 🍄 Whole Maitake Mushroom Quite oily, made with sparkling sake – the alcohol flavor was strong and, in my opinion, didn’t pair well with the mushroom. 🥩 Beef Teres Major Ordered medium rare but came out a bit tough. Potatoes were tasty, but the mushrooms again had a strong boozy taste. 🍹 Hive Mind Cocktail Very strong lavender flavor – if you’re not into herbal notes, it might taste like drinking essential oil 😅 📜 Menu photo attached for reference. #Utah #SaltLakeCity #Yellowstone #BarHopping #CocktailBar #FoodReview #TravelEats
