DOWNTOWN. One of Salt Lake City's coolest nightspots, the classy Cabana Club features the piano music of Salt Lake legend Dave Compton, not to mention a truly great martini. With soft lighting and cozy yet tasteful furniture, the Cabana looks as though it has changed very little since opening in the 1940s. The kitchen serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday; featured entrees include the likes of steak, seafood, and fish.

WEST VALLEY CITY. A friendly, neighborhood-style watering hole, David's is a great place to come after work and enjoy the big game or shoot a little pool. Indeed, the comfy joint is the type of place that becomes a home away from home, especially when you factor in superior pub grub, which includes everything from grilled steaks to halibut filets. Private club; membership required.

DOWNTOWN. Located in the downtown Sheraton City Centre Hotel, this upscale watering hole is a favorite with the business crowd. Indeed, after a conference or convention, it's not unusual to spot a few well-dressed movers and shakers hanging out at the bar and sipping downtown's best martinis. The Bar is cigar-friendly, and should you forget your favorite stogie, they have plenty to choose from.

DOWNTOWN. Touted as one of Salt Lake City's finest restaurants, the New Yorker takes pride in its double-pronged focus on understated sophistication and superb service. A laid-back business crowd tends to gather in the cafe-style bar after work, indulging in superb cocktails and a menu of light fare that's perfect for folks wanting just a bite to tide them over till dinner. Since the New Yorker is a private club, memberships are necessary (choose a three-week or year-long option).
