May doesn't ease in — it arrives all at once. This month, we're sending off Wonderland for the final time, celebrating mothers the way they deserve (with a proper brunch and a very good drink), pulling back the curtain on something new coming to the menu, holding DJ sermons every Thursday night in Church, and opening our doors to the moments that matter most. Consider this your guide to doing May in Salt Lake right.
MOTHER’S DAY 2026 · BRUNCH AT LAKE EFFECT
Mother’s Day is THIS Sunday, don’t forget to book your table before we fill up!
From 11AM–4PM we’ll have Mother's Day specials alongside your Lake Effect brunch favorites, and of course a full roster of brunch cocktails and mocktails to keep the afternoon moving in the right direction. Our Moms deserve a mimosa (or a few) for dealing with us — see you Sunday!
ALICE IN WONDERLAND · FINAL POP-UP DATE
We told you Wonderland doesn't last forever — and we meant it. May 18th is the final night the Rabbit Hole transforms into something Salt Lake has never seen before and won't again. The projections on the walls, the hand-crafted cocktails, the characters on every page, the atmosphere that feels like a dream — all of it, gone after this final date. No encore. This is it.
If you've been before, you know what we’re talking about. If you haven't, that's a problem you have exactly one chance left to fix.
Secure your spot before Wonderland closes its doors for good.
NEW COCKTAIL MENU · COMING SOON
No itinerary required. No luggage. No layovers, no exchange rates, no middle seat. What's coming to the Lake Effect menu will take you further than you'd expect for the price of a well-made drink. We've charted the course — all you have to do is pull up a stool.
The new spring/summer menu arrives soon, & these drinks are sure to make you wonder..
THURSDAY COMMUNION · WEEKLY DJ SERMONS
Every Thursday night, Church opens its doors and the sermon begins. Upstairs at Lake Effect, DJs deliver sets that don't compromise — house, techno, drum & bass, and everything in between that is built to move the room. This isn't background music. Thursday Communion is for the ones who don't see why the weekend should have to wait until Friday. Come early, stay late, and leave with the distinct feeling that you made the right call.
SEE YOU SOON
Mother’s Day plans. One last night in Wonderland. However May finds you — brunching, dancing, discovering something new on our menu, or finally making it down to the Rabbit Hole — we'll be here. Come find us at 155 W 200 S. The month's just getting started.
