Most nights, it's just a staircase. But on these nights, it leads somewhere else entirely.
The Rabbit Hole at Lake Effect transforms into a fully immersive Alice in Wonderland experience — themed décor in every corner, characters wandering the walls, and a dedicated cocktail menu built entirely around Wonderland. Equal parts theater and bar night, and there is genuinely nothing else like it in Salt Lake City.
Only two dates remain, and they’re coming up quick.
After that, the lights come up and Wonderland is gone for good.
If you've been waiting for the right moment — this is it. Seats are limited and they will go fast. Don’t make the Queen wait..
Two dates left. After that, the door closes.
If you've been looking for something genuinely different to do in Salt Lake City — not another rooftop bar, not another bottomless brunch — this is it. Lake Effect's Alice in Wonderland pop-up bar experience has been running all season inside The Rabbit Hole, our subterranean bar beneath the main floor at 155 W 200 S in downtown Salt Lake City. And it only has two dates left.
April 20 and May 18. That's it.
The Alice in Wonderland pop-up is an immersive, themed cocktail bar experience hosted inside The Rabbit Hole at Lake Effect — which, yes, is literally underground. The space transforms into a full Carroll-inspired environment: the aesthetic, the atmosphere, and the menu all lean into the world of Wonderland with the craft cocktail seriousness that Lake Effect is known for.
This isn't a costume party. It's a curated drinking experience for adults who want their evening to feel like something.
This event is 21+ only. Valid ID required.
Utah's bar and dining scene has quietly become one of the most interesting in the Mountain West, and events like this are exactly why. The Alice in Wonderland pop-up is the kind of immersive bar experience you'd expect to find in New York or Chicago — and it's happening right now in downtown Salt Lake City.
If you're searching for:
...you've found the right place.
Both events take place at Lake Effect, 155 W 200 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84101. The Rabbit Hole entrance is downstairs — follow the signs (or follow the white rabbit).
This event is 21+. No exceptions.
Lake Effect is a craft cocktail bar, restaurant, and event venue in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. We operate three distinct spaces — the main floor, The Rabbit Hole downstairs, and Church, our event space upstairs — and we take our drinks seriously. Our menus change seasonally, our bartenders know what they're doing, and we believe a good night out should feel like it was designed, not assembled.
The Alice in Wonderland pop-up is a perfect example of what we do when we get to be a little strange.
Tickets to immersive bar experiences in Salt Lake City don't sit around. The previous Alice in Wonderland pop-up dates sold out, and with only two left, capacity is genuinely limited. If you've been putting it off, now is the time to stop doing that.
April 20. May 18. 21+. Downtown SLC.
Lake Effect is located at 155 W 200 S, Salt Lake City, Utah. For more information about upcoming events, private bookings, and reservations, visit lakeeffectslc.com.
