Living in a rental townhome at The Mont means your evening plans start the moment you walk out your front door. The Granary District neighborhood didn’t earn its reputation as one of Salt Lake City’s most exciting corners by accident. It earned it one cocktail, one pour, and one late-night hangout at a time, most of it within an easy walk of home. If you’re apartment hunting or comparing rental communities in Salt Lake City and wondering what life actually looks like after 5pm, let The Mont walk you through the bar scene sitting right outside your door.
Fisher Brewing Company: The Closest Pour in the Neighborhood
Head just a couple of blocks from home and you’ll land at Fisher Brewing, a revived historic Salt Lake City brewery founded in 1884 and now running as an employee-owned, community-focused taproom in the heart of the Granary District. It’s the kind of spot where a rotating food truck parks out front, the beer list runs deep, and a Tuesday night turns into the whole neighborhood catching up over a pint. For renters at The Mont, this is as close as “close to home” gets.
Slackwater: Pizza and Pints a Few Blocks South
A short stroll away sits Slackwater — a Granary District staple known for made-from-scratch pizza and one of the deepest beer lists in the area. It’s the kind of place where the patio fills up fast on a warm night, and nobody’s in a rush to leave. Renting a townhome this close means Slackwater isn’t a special occasion. It’s a regular Thursday.
Kiitos Brewing: A Festive Patio Just Around the Corner
Kiitos Brewing keeps the neighborhood’s brewery culture going strong with a fun, festive atmosphere and a patio built for day drinking Utah-crafted beer in the sun. It’s an easy walk from home, and the kind of spot that makes weekend afternoons disappear in the best way.
Drift Lounge at Woodbine: Craft Cocktails and Rooftop Views
Tucked inside the historic Woodbine Food Hall, Drift Lounge brings craft cocktails, a lively rooftop, and food ordered straight from the hall’s vendors and delivered to your table. Whether it’s a date night or a low-key hang with friends, Drift Lounge covers both without ever needing a rideshare from home.
Water Witch: Elevated Cocktails, Neighborhood Energy
Just beyond the closest cluster of bars, Water Witch has built a reputation as one of the finest cocktail bars in the state, complete with a James Beard Award nod and a small, intimate space that feels like the neighborhood’s best-kept secret, even though everyone already knows about it. It’s worth the short walk for a bar this good.
Why Proximity Changes the Rental Equation
Choosing where to rent in Salt Lake City isn’t only about square footage and finishes, even though The Mont delivers plenty of both with its designer kitchens and private garages. It’s about what’s actually within reach. A brewery, a pizzeria with a serious beer list, and a craft cocktail lounge all sitting a few blocks from your rental townhome are what turn a lease into a lifestyle. This is the swagger of the Granary District. Industrial roots, colorful murals, and a bar scene sophisticated enough to headline any city, all close enough to walk to on a whim.
