About BTG Wine Bar
The Spotlight on BTG Wine Bar

Refined Wine Bar Vibes in the Heart of Salt Lake City

BTG Wine Bar is a stylish, upscale wine bar located right in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, just a short walk from several major music venues. With its sleek ambiance, exposed brick walls, and dim lighting, this spot sets the tone for a sophisticated and relaxed evening. BTG stands for "By The Glass," and true to its name, it features an impressive list of over 75 wines available by the glass, plus artisan cocktails and craft beers. Paired with a menu of thoughtfully curated small plates and charcuterie, it’s the ideal place to sip and socialize before the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love BTG Wine Bar for its proximity to popular venues like Eccles Theater and The Complex, making it a go-to for pre-show meetups. The atmosphere is quiet enough for conversation but still lively with a buzz that builds as the evening progresses. Service is known to be attentive and efficient, so even if you’re on a tight schedule, you’ll have time to enjoy a glass (or two) before heading out. Plus, the cozy booth seating and intimate vibe make it perfect for pre-concert wind-downs or energy-boosting bites.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends meeting before a show
  • Solo travelers who want a relaxed, stylish spot to unwind
  • Couples planning a romantic concert night
  • Fans looking for an elegant, low-key pre-show drink
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still appreciate quality (shared plates can go a long way)

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the extensive wine selection, knowledgeable staff, and inviting atmosphere. Guests often mention that the servers are happy to offer recommendations tailored to your taste. Many love the charcuterie boards and small plates, with standouts like the truffle fries and lamb lollipops. Visitors also appreciate the underground wine cellar feel that makes the experience feel special without being pretentious.

Areas for Improvement

The most common feedback? It’s popular—so it can get a bit tight, especially on weekends or before big concerts. Seating is limited, and they don’t take reservations, so arriving early is your best bet. Also, while the small plates are high quality, they may not satisfy those looking for a full dinner.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after a refined, relaxing pre-show experience with excellent wine and classy bites just steps from downtown venues, BTG Wine Bar is a top pick.

l Don't judge, but this was the highlight of our trip to SLC. We love wine and we love wine bars if they're done well. This evening was perfect. The vibe was kinda hip and chill at the same time...

l I wish we had a place like this in my city (a very large Southern city). We had someone in our group from Montreal also and he said he could not find a place like it there either. Very surprised...
