Food Halls in Salt Lake City

Food halls have been popular across the United States for some time, but here in Utah, it’s taken a little while for the concept to warm up. That’s all set to change in 2022 with the opening of several huge new facilities. Here’s all the food halls we know of in the Salt Lake valley right now – and those coming soon.

Sugar House Station

This ambitious Sugar House food hall opened in early 2025, bringing with it a unique concept to Utah. Opened by seasoned restaurateur Scott Evans, the hall is a mix of restaurants *and* bars. The hall fills the sizeable space left vacant by the departure of Kimi’s Chop & Oyster House (2155 South Highland Drive). The ground floor alone affords a capacity of 200+ over 10,000 square feet. Opening names include:

  • Aristo’s
  • Birdhouse Chicken
  • Canella’s
  • Casot Wine Bar
  • Greek Tyrant by Aristo’s
  • Proper Burger / Brewing

Arguably the first food hall concept to open in contemporary times is this outfit from Vegas. HallPass is located in The Gateway, on the West side of downtown Salt Lake City. A craft beer bar anchors the space that is home to several kitchens offering everything from fresh seafood to fried chicken to waffles.

Woodbine Food Hall and Tavern is a food hall that opened in the Summer of 2022 in the refurbished former Rico facility at 545 W. 800 S.  After extensive work the project opened to four vendors and a brand new bar area.  The project is being spear headed by Zachary Howa.
