Located in the heart of Salt Lake City, and situated right next door to sister restaurant Ivy & Varley, Varley is a craft cocktail bar and lounge for the downtown executive, urban local, and out-of-town guest seeking an innovative approach to high-end cocktail culture without all the pretense.
Led by Bryan Borreson and Vaughn Carrick of the Realine Group, Varley maintains the same modern aesthetic as Ivy & Varley with a little added edge. Varley is the perfect setting to share in drinks and dialogue for both the most discernible of cocktail connoisseurs and those simply seeking a cold craft beer or pour on the rocks. Also, if you’re hungry, Varley conveniently shares the same kitchen as Ivy & Varley, offering an exclusively curated menu designed to pair with the full selection of drink options available.

Varley is a 21+ Establishment

    First visit to a really cool space in downtown SLC. Went before a play at the Eccles Theater so we had limited time but they took great care of us. Amazing outside space with lots of different sitting spaces. Limited food options but the dishes we shared were excellent. Service outstanding and they had a good beverage menu. Look forward to another visit when we have more time.

    The food was absolutely incredible! The only thing was the service was not good at all. The people who brought our food and drinks were all nice but we had to get someone’s attention for everything. No one really came to check on us. We would definitely go back for the food tho!

    The drinks were like just ice and no liquor in it. The waitress got two drinks in one hand, which spilling all the way to table.

    My family had a wonderful time at Varley. The cocktails and service were very good - both inspired. The food was very good, although we did have to send the Mac n cheese back to be heated additionally, as it was lukewarm. Our server did this happily, and it did not take long. A great cocktail dining experience.

    I used to love coming here when it was BTG, but Varley didn’t disappoint! Food was good, drinks were amazing, service was excellent. My only gripe is the DJ was a little loud and made it hard to talk. Maybe for 7:30 it could be just a little less loud. The menu is a little limited but the extensive drink menu made up for it.

    Wonderful, friendly service and amazing food and drinks. Shout out to Bill and the staff who were working on Monday, April 11th! We went there for my birthday dinner and I am still raving about the chorizo rice dish. Also best fries I’ve ever had. Highly recommend, we’ll be back.

    Waited a while for drinks and food. Waitress returned to advise that our ticket was lost. When we received the food, after another long wait, it was bland and flavorless. And for all of this, it was pricey. The drinks were not bad, we tried 4 Varley specific drinks. Not great, and not unique, but also not awful

    We went here for pre-theater drinks & food. Great drinks, good food, great decor. I was happy with my caesar salad. And a quick walk to the theater. The food menu isn't huge, but we were all happy with what we had.

    Great drinks, just took about 30 min to get one (only one bartender for the entire restaurant). Terrible service, they had split up the waiters over an uneven amount of tables so we barely saw ours. Our waiter also took away our drinks without asking and they were a fourth full still…. Very disappointing experience considering how expensive it was!
