August is a month of movement—brunching daily, late-night rhythms, and a few surprises tucked beneath the surface. In this edition, we’re diving into everything from daily brunch and cocktail philosophy to weddings, jazz nights, and a secret experience soon to unfold in the Rabbit Hole. Let’s just say… you’ll want to read to the end.
There’s something brewing in the Rabbit Hole—and it’s not just the cocktails. This month, we’re preparing to launch an immersive, exclusive pop-up bar unlike anything Salt Lake City has ever seen. If you’re into surprises, storytelling, and a bit of spectacle, you’ll want to be first on the list. Join the waitlist now and be the first to hear when reservations open. Looking for something to look forward to? This is it.
Brunch at Lake Effect is a not-so-hidden gem for those in search of the best brunch in Salt Lake City. Think elevated classics, Salt Lake’s best mimosas, and a space that feels just right—whether you're recovering from the night before or meeting midday over great food. If you haven’t made brunch at Lake Effect a part of your daily routine, now’s the time. Pictured above is our Churro French Toast, & it’s calling your name. Don’t leave it hanging.
Ever wonder what sets our cocktail menu apart? Our LE Cocktails, currently themed Welcome to the Jungle, is our rotating seasonal cocktail list—crafted entirely in-house by the Lake Effect team. These are original creations made with intention, experimentation, and just the right amount of flair. Our Modern Classics menu, on the other hand, reimagines timeless cocktails through our lens. These are the best modern cocktails in Salt Lake City—remixed, refined, and here to stay (for the most part). Curious what the bartenders are sipping after hours? Start here.
If you're looking for a wedding reception venue in Salt Lake City that’s anything but typical, welcome to Church. Recently, we hosted a wedding reception that truly transformed the space—cocktails, unforgettable food, and a dance floor that didn’t slow down. Lake Effect offers multiple private event spaces, perfect for Utah weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, and more. If you’re planning a big day, we’d love to be part of it.
Every Wednesday night from 7–10PM, Flamingo Jazz takes over the Rabbit Hole. Whether you’re a longtime jazz lover or just in the mood for a great cocktail and live music in Salt Lake City, this is where Wednesday is the best day of the week. Come for the music, stay for the atmosphere. No cover, no fuss—just world-class jazz, dim lights, and a drink in hand.
Thanks for reading and spending a moment with us. We’ve got a full month ahead, and we’d love nothing more than to share it with you. Whether you’re here for the cocktails, the music, the food, or all of the above—there’s always something happening at Lake Effect. We’ll see you soon.
