The same year that prohibition was repealed (1933) the Bar-X opened its doors.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 .
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
Well crafted cocktails & a brilliant whiskey selection .
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 .
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.
Moscow Mule FTW! You have to try one of these drinks at least once--that is unless you hate ginger .
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.
Try the Greyhound, replace vodka with Gin , no simple syrup ! Delishes. Also fabulous the Bar X brew!!
Probably the only pub in Salt Lake where you can have a drink
Get a sausage next door at Beer Garden and bring it over
A great place to hangout on weekdays when it's less crowded
Get the Moscow mule , nowhere else in Salt Lake does it this good
The Moscow Mule is a perfect summer drink ! Ice cold, crisp and very refreshing. Worth the wait and cost!
Seasonal bespoke drinks menu and Monday vinyl night. Start your week off here.
Love this place. Best place for real drinks in SLC.
Moscow mule lives up to the hype! Gulp one down :-)
Pro tip: avoid the wait and go to the small bar in the back.
Really fun place! Would def come back!
They make the best Tom Collins in town . It's amazing how many bars can screw up this simple drink.
Don't wanna spend $9 on a crazy awesome cocktail ? Olympia beer in the can for $3.
Bar X is super cool. A must-visit in Salt Lake City.
Order the Memnto (Owned and invented by Ty Burrell )
Moscow mule is perfection!
Josh Payne Orchestra plays every Sunday night. must experience.
"Roulette" bartender's choice cocktails
Third vote for the Moscow Mule . Fan of the Boston Sour also. Decent house red .
Don't order your drink and walk away... part of the pleasure is watching the artistry behind the cocktails .
Watch out for the novice bartenders that charge every drink for $10.00.
Seconded on the Moscow Mule . If you order the Sazerac , use Rip's recipe--about 1/2 the amount of sugar.
This is a good hang out for business professionals. But the service is super slow.
Margaritas , shaken.
2nd on the DMo Sazerac recommend...delicious!
Whiskey smash.
The siesta is dreaming
