Bar à Vin: Where Wine Dreams Don’t Just Live, They Breathe
Salt Lake City. Maybe not the first place that comes to mind when you think of an innovative, effortlessly cool wine bar with the largest selection of vino west of the Mississippi. And yet, here it is - Bar à Vin, standing proudly among the city’s culinary scene, quietly reminding you that great wine isn’t about snobbery, exclusivity, or knowing how to pronounce “terroir” with a French accent.
It’s about pleasure. Unapologetic, beautifully simple, deeply satisfying pleasure.
Kasey, the owner and sommelier, isn’t just slinging bottles - he’s orchestrating an experience. 120 wines on tap, each preserved with a high-tech argon system that ensures every sip is as alive as the winemaker intended. Whether you're committing to a bottle, dabbling in a 1-ounce pour, a 3-ounce pour, or surrendering to a full flight, the choices are endless. But this isn’t some soulless, tech-driven novelty. This is craftsmanship, a celebration of the nuances, the dirt, the history in every glass.
And what’s great wine without food to match? Enter Chef d'Cuisine Jerry Liedtke, the kind of guy who doesn’t just “pair” food with wine - he understands it. He leans into its complexities, elevating, complementing, challenging-never overshadowing. Then there’s Lucy, the bar manager and her team, ensuring the entire experience is seamless, like an elegant but unpretentious waltz between your glass, your plate, and the company you keep.
The vibe? Trendy without trying; classy without the pretense. The kind of place where you can walk in wearing a suit or jeans and feel equally at home. It’s a wine bar for people who actually love wine, not just the idea of it.
The events? Inspired. The reservations? A wise move. The option to rent the entire space? Genius.
So, go. Drink the good stuff. Talk to strangers. Let the wine do what it does best - bring people together. Because that’s what this place is really about. Not just wine. Not just...

Bar à Vin is an absolute gem! The concept of offering 1oz wine testers is brilliant—you get to explore and truly taste a variety of wines before committing to a full glass or bottle. It’s a wine lover’s dream!
The vibe here is unmatched, and the experience is elevated even further by their incredible coal stone pizza. Do yourself a favor and try the Diablo and Blanca pizzas—both are bursting with flavor and pair beautifully with the wines.
But what truly sets Bar à Vin apart is the exceptional staff. They made us feel like absolute rockstars, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that it felt more like a VIP experience than just a night out. Their passion, knowledge, and hospitality turned an already amazing evening into something truly special.
This was, hands down, the best wine bar experience I have ever had. If you’re looking for an unforgettable night of wine, food, and connection, Bar à Vin is the...
Read moreThis place is so close to having it down. We came early on during what I would call a soft opening and were able to chat with the owner that was such a great experience. So much wine knowledge to be heard during that visit. We recently visited again on a busier weekend. The staff was great and were all working hard constantly running around polishing glasses filling wine glasses. I expect all of that on the weekend. We like to sit at the bar talk to the staff and get recommendations for wines to our liking but no one had time to help us with any recommendations. The menu here is amazing but blindly ordering a wine by name isn’t always ideal with a menu this large. After ordering I noticed they had a QR code you can scan to see customers “likes” on wines. If I saw that earlier maybe our first rounds of glasses wouldn’t have been missed for our taste buds. The pizza here tasted fresh and some of the best...
