Varley

A great cocktail bar with food that can go toe-to-toe with their drinks isn’t all that surprising these days, but how many times will you find one serving a sweet potato soup you can’t stop thinking about? That—and other dishes like Thai mussels and a delicious cashew-kimchi bowl—make Varley stand out. Sip on the Tombstone with bourbon, campari, and grapefruit, or the vermouth-and-cherry Martinez, while you wait for your snacks to arrive. Located near the Salt Palace Convention Center, this is the place to unwind after a boring conference on accounting software. If you value your hearing, snag an early reservation before the DJ starts playing at 8:30pm on weekends.
