Water Witch is a cocktail-focused bar in the heart of the Central 9th neighborhood of Salt Lake City. The bar was opened by Sean Neves, Scott Gardner and Matt Pfhol.
Water Witch is notable by its cosy size and talented team – the bar seeing a nomination in the outstanding bar category in 2022 by James Beard. The bar features a rotating team of talented bar tenders and many regard it as home to the best cocktails in Utah.
In late 2022, the team behind Water Witch opened up the new Acme Bar Company in Sugar House.
