Bar X

The same year that prohibition was repealed (1933) the Bar-X opened its doors. Using the same bar and recipes from that era, we have tried to create a classic speakeasy feel with a few modern touches. We use fresh juices and quality liquors to give you a great cocktail.

Classic cocktails done right. I had an excellent Rye old fashioned . If u prefer beer , you can order from beer bar next door and bring your glass back to Bar X. Be prepared for a ton of hipsters .

Ginny-Beth Joiner

New owners. New feel. New crowd. I loved the old, dirty , cash-only Bar X, but this place is great, too. Metro feel and Moscow Mules are refreshing. Service is slow, but worth it.

Alex

Wow, can't fault the recommendations for the Moscow Mule - it's the ginger beer that really does it. Mmm. And the copper mug makes the chill all the more tactile.

Now Salt Lake

Try the Edison. Endorsed by actor (Phil on Modern Family) and Bar X co-owner Ty Burrell ; the Edison is a Bourbon-based drink served in a shot glass coated with absinthe . Read more

Amazing bar !!! BUT this is a speak easy ... why is the music bumping from a block away, why does the sign look like I'm walking into a cheap strip club and why is there outdoor seating out front?

Lauren Delon

This is the best place in Salt Lake City to get an Old Fashioned . However, you have to stand in line for about twenty minutes to get one.

Now Salt Lake

Moscow Mule : Vodka , fresh lime juice and handmade ginger beer make for a refreshing after-work bump. And nothing says "classic cocktail " like booze served in a shiny copper cup by a skilled bartender . Read more

Mike Riedel

Well crafted cocktails & a brilliant whiskey selection .

Brett Lerwill

This bar is very small and has no wait service, but they have an interesting cocktail menu . You can also get some rare spirits here like Pappy Van Winkle .

David Hardie

Nice place but with only two bartenders and no additional staff , we waited 15 minutes on a weeknight without getting acknowledged. For fancy drinks ad fancy prices, you gotta have some service.

Jason Kol

Moscow Mule FTW! You have to try one of these drinks at least once--that is unless you hate ginger .

Now Salt Lake

Try the Blood and Sand.Sweet and incredibly strong, served in a dainty little stemmed glass. It's definitely a sipper, slow down and enjoy. Read more

Newly remodeled bar is now a classy custom cocktail lounge . Great place to take a date after a movie . Open 4PM-1AM Daily. No food.

Tricia Warnken

Try the Greyhound, replace vodka with Gin , no simple syrup ! Delishes. Also fabulous the Bar X brew!!

Serhii Lutsko

Probably the only pub in Salt Lake where you can have a drink

Wesley Verhoeve

Get a sausage next door at Beer Garden and bring it over

Kath

A great place to hangout on weekdays when it's less crowded

Tanner Christensen

Get the Moscow mule , nowhere else in Salt Lake does it this good

Jesika K.

The Moscow Mule is a perfect summer drink ! Ice cold, crisp and very refreshing. Worth the wait and cost!

Carmen Sutter

Pro tip: avoid the wait and go to the small bar in the back.

DJ Cabeen

Really fun place! Would def come back!

Zachary Burt

They make the best Tom Collins in town . It's amazing how many bars can screw up this simple drink.

Jeremy M

Don't wanna spend $9 on a crazy awesome cocktail ? Olympia beer in the can for $3.

Terry Farchione

Bar X is super cool. A must-visit in Salt Lake City.

Aaron Robinson

Josh Payne Orchestra plays every Sunday night. must experience.

Phil ????

"Roulette" bartender's choice cocktails

Kristine Paul

Third vote for the Moscow Mule . Fan of the Boston Sour also. Decent house red .

Robin-Elise Call

Don't order your drink and walk away... part of the pleasure is watching the artistry behind the cocktails .

Nicholas Hoggan

Watch out for the novice bartenders that charge every drink for $10.00.

David Morrissey

Seconded on the Moscow Mule . If you order the Sazerac , use Rip's recipe--about 1/2 the amount of sugar.

Marco Robert

This is a good hang out for business professionals. But the service is super slow.

Alexandra Stringfellow

Margaritas , shaken.

Kristine Paul

2nd on the DMo Sazerac recommend...delicious!
