Reviews for Water Witch in Salt Lake City, UT
An amazing gem of a venue in an rising up and coming strip. So I never expected SLC to have great venues I had succumbed to the... fables and stories rooted in the past. This place alone (there are other great venues) is worth the visit. As with all bars theclientele can change the atmosphere by some margin this place has staff that can steer it back, flawlessly. Ever changingspecials, deadly regular cocktails and nothing is too hard for them to make for you. Utah has some strange drinking laws andthey toe the line without losing the hospitable nature that bars are afforded else where. If you have only one night in SLCthis is the place if you have a week I promise you?ll be here 5/7 nights. Thank me later Read more
I'll start by saying the love the vibe. It's quirky without being tacky. The space is very small, and it was crowded when we... visited on a Thursday evening. It felt a bit claustrophobic, but we were able to snag a table outside. The service was SLOW.I've worked enough hospitality jobs to have a lot more patience than the average patron. So when I'm starting to wonder what'shappening, you know things are very backed up. We had mezcal negronis for our first round. I'd give that cocktail a 2/10. Maybe3 if pressed. Our second round was a watermelon drink and cocktail with cognac (I can't recall the name). Those were definitelybetter, but we still weren't excited by our drinks. Would I give it another shot? Maybe. Read more
This place is absolutely fantastic. The bartenders were super friendly and helpful, and the drinks they made were delicious. The... vibes were a great departure from the usual utah sports bar feel, very laid back but also upscale. It also felt queer friendlywhich is a huge plus. You should absolutely check this place out, 10/10! Read more
First time there today. It's not a big place and it was packed. The bartenders were nice. I ordered a gin and tonic with Bombay... Sapphire gin. What I got was good but it was pink. Tasted good and I slugged it down ...only had the one drink as it was smalland very crowded exacerbating my mental health issues. I met a couple guys who seemed like regulars...they were affable.

I have visited this bar on and off since Fall of 2017 when l first discovered it. The drinks are amazing and the staff is... always friendly. Michael has worked there since I can remember and he always recognizes me and gives me a friendly hello. Theyalso have gender neutral restrooms which I appreciate as a non binary individual.

I had a great bartender the day I went (5-23) but I cannot remember his name. I believe he had been there awhile. Great... attitude. He knew what he was providing; craft cocktails. I wanted something he didn?t have, a vanilla vodka, but he didn?t makeme feel stupid for asking. He mentioned it?s always good to ask as they may have a special syrup or something possibly. Mydesire for a fancy craft mind eraser wasn?t met. However, he made me something with the roulette drink option and it was great.He asked some questions and quickly came up with a cocktail I thought was impressive. Delicious and wonderful presentation.Thatexperience was 5 stars. I never felt belittled when reminded, of sorts, what they were providing. I left satisfied and lookingforward to coming again!

Water witch is next level. It?s one of the best bars in SLC. It?s such a fun bar with a great selection of spirits. They have... very unique and fun cocktails. The food is great too. The witch dip is my favorite, so tasty! Read more
I was very excited to visit Water Witch after my sister and brother in law recommended. However, my high hopes for the place... were dashed the moment I walked in the door. Jacob, one of the bartenders that evening, was very rude and inconsiderate from theget go. He asked all of us for our IDs. And I?m from out of state, so I didn?t realize that you needed to take out your ID andhave it scanned. Then my sister realized I had her ID in my wallet, so I quickly asked for the wallet back to get out bothIDs. Suddenly, Jacob threw my wallet at me when he asked me for my ID and walked away just because I said I wanted to show himmy sisters ID. The aggression was uncalled for, and I hope he was just having a bad night. The one star is for the otherbartender, Jason, who tried to salvage the experience and got us to stay to enjoy our one drink of the night. Jason was 5/5 andis the only reason I would recommend this place I just hope he teaches Jacob how to treat customers especially when there arefew guests in the place Read more
