Bodega and The Rest is widely recognized as a premier speakeasy destination in Salt Lake City, though experiences regarding its food can vary. Many visitors are enchanted by the 'hidden gem' aspect, specifically the transition from the street-level Bodega to the atmospheric basement bar. The cocktails receive consistent praise for being perfectly balanced and creative. While some guests rave about impeccable and attentive service from staff members like Sierra and Mike, others have noted inconsistencies in server training and food preparation, specifically regarding steak temperatures. The decor is a major draw, featuring a unique hunting-lodge and library theme, though a few reviewers mentioned a musty smell in the subterranean level. Overall, it remains a highly recommended spot for its one-of-a-kind vibe and excellent drink selection.
