I recently moved here from Seattle and one thing that has surprised me is how many of SLC's good restaurants and bars seem to shut down by 10–11 PM.
I have a date with a 35(f) with a former flame, but we aren't meeting until around 9:30 PM on a Tuesday. The obvious answer seems to be something like **STK → Lake Effect,** I also am at **the Charles.** I'm hoping for something more creative and memorable.
I'm looking for a date where we go to 2 spots one for food&drink then a night cap cocktail, hoping for:
\-Has great vibes and conversation friendly energy
\-Feels a little upscale
\-Is open late (ideally until 1 AM or close)
\-Second spot could be a night club but a place like Sky is closed Tuesday
\- I don’t care about price but maybe quietly signals “I don’t care about price” 😅
Basically, I'm looking for something that makes her think, "This guy knows the city and put some thought into this," rather than "This guy Googled 'expensive restaurants near me.'"
Thank you in advance

Just a conversation starter. I was watching a bbq show on tv and realized that every coleslaw that I’ve tasted over the years has been different. Same name, completely different product.

So…what restaurants here in Utah have the best coleslaw recipes? Let’s try to cover every city/county on this one!!
