Repeal Utah: Dinner, Cocktails and Live Jazz in Downtown Salt Lake City
Salt & Seek / Downtown Salt Lake City
Repeal is a downtown Salt Lake City restaurant, cocktail bar, and live jazz speakeasy featuring from-scratch contemporary American cuisine, signature cocktails, rare whiskey, and live jazz Tuesday through Saturday.
Located beneath the historic Walker Center, it brings dinner and a jazz performance into the same evening. You can book a table for a meal, settle in for cocktails, or plan your arrival around the music. The kitchen opens at 5 p.m.; live jazz begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
The people & the place
Kelly and Camille Howard's downtown jazz destination
Father-and-daughter team Kelly and Camille Howard are behind Repeal and Prohibition in Murray. Repeal occupies the former Bourbon House space in the Walker Center basement, reworked around a restaurant, cocktail bar and live jazz setting. ABC4's opening coverage documents the family's role in bringing the venue to downtown Salt Lake City.
The room's bar seating, blue curtains and performance area give the music a visible place in the evening. For planning purposes, the key distinction is that Repeal serves a full dinner menu alongside its cocktail and whiskey offerings. It is an option for a meal with live music as well as a stop for drinks.
The kitchen
A from-scratch contemporary American kitchen
Canyon Kelley is Culinary Director for both Repeal and Prohibition. Repeal's current culinary direction is from-scratch contemporary American cuisine. The restaurant describes making its breads, fresh pasta, sauces, stocks, desserts and ice cream in-house, with a menu that changes seasonally.
That seasonal approach makes the current menu more useful than an old signature-dish list. These are three specific options listed when we checked on October 8, 2026:
Prices reflect the official menu checked October 8, 2026 and may change. Restaurant-supplied photos illustrate Repeal's food and setting; preparations and availability can vary with the menu.
The full dinner menu is available until 10 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, Repeal then transitions to its late-night menu. If dinner is the main reason for your visit, reserve before that transition and check the current dinner menu for the complete selection. Ask the restaurant directly about dietary needs and ingredient substitutions.
The drinks
Signature cocktails and rare whiskey
Repeal's drinks program includes signature cocktails, rare whiskey, wine, beer and alcohol-free options. The cocktail menu gives you specific ingredients to work from when deciding what to order:
These descriptions come from the official cocktail menu, checked October 8, 2026. For whiskey, consult the current drinks lists and ask the bar about bottle availability and pour prices. A rare-whiskey selection can change, so a particular bottle should not be assumed to be available.
The music
Live jazz Tuesday through Saturday
Live jazz is offered Tuesday through Saturday, beginning at 6 p.m. Dinner service starts an hour earlier, so a 5 p.m. reservation gives you time to begin your meal before the music starts; a later table brings dinner and the performance together.
Check Repeal's official website or @repealutah for current performance announcements. The Tuesday-through-Saturday schedule is the regular offering; confirm any particular date or artist directly with the restaurant.
