February Feels - Spreading The Love This Month

It’s February—what some might call love month. We’ve got the perfect Valentine’s plans for you and that special someone, dinner dishes we’re crushing on, and the most romantic bar in Salt Lake City open for service every Thursday night. Here’s how we’re spreading the love all month long.

Valentine’s Day at Lake Effect

Forget the clichés—this is Valentine’s Day, elevated. A curated 3-course meal, live music setting the mood, and cocktails crafted to keep the night flowing. Whether you’re toasting to new love, old flames, or just a great excuse for a night out, we’ve got the perfect backdrop for your Valentine’s celebration.

Our February Food Crush: the NY Prime Strip

Cooked to perfection and served with Che Chimichurri, Papas & Papas, and a rich Roasted Tomato Sauce, this gluten-free dish is bold, satisfying, and impossible to forget. One bite, and you might just fall in love.

Thursday Revelations in Church; Where Romance Lies in the Walls

Upstairs in Church, you’ll find a space that’s sure to make you swoon—think a glowing pink stone bar, stained glass windows that set the mood, and a DJ spinning tracks that make it impossible to sit still. Service starts at 10pm every Thursday, and trust us—you’ll fall for it.

Private Events at Lake Effect

Your next event, elevated. Whether you’re planning a Galentine’s Day gathering under the stained glass glow of Church or hosting a business soirée down in The Rabbit Hole, we’ve got the perfect space for any occasion. From intimate dinners to full-scale celebrations, Lake Effect brings the cocktails, the vibe, and everything in between to make your event unforgettable.

Our Favorite Brunch Cocktails

Brunch isn’t complete without the perfect cocktail, and we’ve got your favorites waiting. What’s brunch without a House Bloody Mary? Ours is crafted with Brennivin ‘Rugbraud’ Rye Aquavit, Alpine ‘Lake Effect’ Vodka, house-made Bloody Mix, dill, garlic, chili, and lemon—spicy, savory, and just the right kick to start your day. If you’re feeling adventurous, the Lemon Wrangler blends Tito’s Vodka, Italicus Bergamot, lemon, and egg yolk for a bright, silky sip. And for those who like a tropical twist, our Piña Colada Mimosa brings a playful spin to a classic.

Join us for brunch in downtown Salt Lake City any day of the week—our brunch cocktails and dishes are served daily from 11am to 3pm. Whether you’re searching for the best brunch spots in Salt Lake or just need your mimosa fix, Lake Effect has you covered.

Thanks for letting us be part of your plans this February. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day dinners, brunch cocktails, or late-night Revelations, we’re here to spread the love all month long. See you soon, Salt Lake.
