October is here, and with it comes a lineup worth marking your calendar for. From the return of Wonderland with a new Alice in Wonderland pop-up date, to a fresh cocktail menu written in the stars, to our Thursday night DJ ritual Communion, there’s no shortage of reasons to spend your nights with us. Add in holiday event bookings, live music every evening, and a Halloween celebration in the works—you’ll want to keep this month wide open.
Tickets for our next Alice in Wonderland pop-up experience on November 3rd are live. For $20, your ticket reserves a table in the Rabbit Hole for a fully immersive evening—think inventive cocktails, whimsical food, and a space transformed into something straight out of the storybook. Drinks and dishes are purchased separately, but trust us—you’ll want to try them all. Seats vanish quickly, so secure your spot today and step into Wonderland before it disappears for good.
Halloween falls on a Friday this year, and you know what that means—we’re throwing Salt Lake’s favorite Halloween party right here at Lake Effect. Expect the cocktails to be as spirited as the costumes, the music to keep the night alive, and the atmosphere to be nothing short of hauntingly unforgettable. Details are still under wraps, but trust us, this is one night you won’t want to miss. Follow us on social to catch the reveals as we get closer to October 31st.
Something new is stirring behind the bar—an entire menu written in the stars. Soon, you’ll be able to sip a drink that feels like it was destined just for you. Each pour, each garnish, each flavor—aligned with the cosmos in ways that are anything but ordinary. We won’t reveal too much just yet, but let’s just say: when the stars align, the glass in your hand might feel a little more personal.
Every Thursday, the upstairs sanctuary, Church, transforms into Communion—our weekly DJ series in Salt Lake City where each set is its own sermon. One week it’s deep house, the next it’s funk, hip-hop, or disco. No two nights are ever the same, but every one is built on deep cuts, stellar DJs, and the kind of energy that makes Friday feel like it came early. Come raise a glass, find your pew at the bar, and let the music deliver you into the weekend. Follow us on socials to see whose sermon is up next.
As the seasons shift, there’s never been a better time to experience Lake Effect. Whether you’re searching for the best cocktails in Salt Lake City, a brunch spot that goes beyond the basics, live music every night, or a nightlife destination with unmatched ambiance, we’ve got you covered. From private events to exclusive pop-ups in the Rabbit Hole, to Communion upstairs in Church, every visit promises something unforgettable. Thank you for being part of our community—we can’t wait to welcome you in this October for dining, drinks, and live entertainment in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City.
