We started with the notion that gin wasn’t being given the love it deserved. Real gin—a blast of juniper followed by the complex intrigue of all the other botanicals—was being challenged by pretenders. Gin shouldn’t taste like a citrus drink, and it shouldn’t taste like cleaning fluid. We give gin some well deserved attention. Small batches on a small still. Botanicals measured and macerated by hand, distilled, bottled and labeled in our Salt Lake City distillery. Utah, say hello to Jack Rabbit Gin. It’s been a long time coming.

More Than Dining. A Culinary Expression of the Land. Monte is an intimate, underground fine dining experience rooted in Utah’s natural landscape. Each menu is shaped by the season, guided by local foraging, organic sourcing, and a deep respect for the ingredients of the day. Rather than offering a fixed menu, Monte evolves continuously—allowing nature to lead and creativity to follow. The result is a chef-driven tasting journey that celebrates biodiversity, craftsmanship, and authenticity at every course.

Some say that traditional neighborhood values, a sense of community, and customer services as a lost art are gone forever. We embrace these traditions and want them back. Welcome to Level Crossing Brewing Company, a crossroads where people can meet to share their stories and enjoy a laugh. There’s a seat open just for you.

At Level Crossing Brewing Company, our terroir, or defining characteristics, encapsulate the overall essence of passion and camaraderie. The red feather in our logo is a long-standing family tradition of always leaving an empty place setting for “Red Feather” at the dinner table. This is to celebrate the tradition of hospitality and inclusion. The empty seat is left open just in case a weary traveler, family member, or friend knocks on the door, so there would be a place for them to join.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

South Salt Lake's annual Craftoberfest returns to the heart of the Creative Industries Zone, serving up a vibrant, free community celebration where local art meets craft food and drink. This year features an exciting new live showcase, replacing the legacy barrel auction with eight en plein air artists painting live on-site in a creative collaboration with community breweries and distilleries. Visitors can browse an expansive local artist market, grab a bite from a diverse lineup of food trucks, and enjoy live music that keeps the festival's infectious energy moving all day long.  
  
Perfect for families, Craftoberfest offers a wealth of interactive, youth-focused art experiences. Children can explore their own talents in the Kids Art Garden, browse unique creations made by young entrepreneurs at the Creative Futures art vendor booths, or get transformed with professional face painting. Additionally, festival-goers of all ages can leave their mark on the event by participating in a collaborative community puzzle mural, making it a true celebration of South Salt Lake's rich, collaborative artistic spirit.
