About Felt Bar & Eatery
Felt Bar & Eatery in Salt Lake City is a $$$ bar & eatery with a casual dress code, daily hours, happy hour, late bar hours, and a kitchen associated with Chef/owner Travis Herbert and Chef de Cuisine Sapo Barrera.
The signature dishes are Elk Burger, French Onion Soup, Oysters on the Half Shell, Korean-style BBQ Baby Back Ribs, and Blood Orange Crème Brûlée. That makes Felt Bar & Eatery a practical choice when the table wants a Salt Lake City visit built around known dishes rather than a specific menu format.
Order beyond the burger if you want the kitchen's point of view
The Elk Burger is one signature, but it is not the only one. Other confirmed dishes include Oysters on the Half Shell, French Onion Soup, Korean-style BBQ Baby Back Ribs, and Blood Orange Crème Brûlée. Ordering across those known signatures is the clearest way to understand Felt Bar & Eatery.
Pricing sits in $$$ territory, so value depends on how you order. A simpler visit can focus on a signature dish or two, while a fuller visit can build around several of the known standouts. Happy Hour runs from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. which is the clearest value window.
Plan around the hours
Felt Bar & Eatery’s profile points to a casual Salt Lake City venue rather than a formal dining room. It is listed as open daily from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. with bar hours Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to close, Saturday from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. Kitchen hours run until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, as of July 2026.
Chef/owner Travis Herbert is a 2026 James Beard Award Finalist, and Chef de Cuisine Sapo Barrera is also part of the kitchen leadership. The practical move is to go during Happy Hour if value is the priority, or later if the bar side of the evening matters more. Because the kitchen closes before the bar, check the kitchen hours before planning a late meal.
