The Tap Room, a Sugar House standby known for its deep whiskey list and easygoing neighborhood vibe, is packing up its Windsor Street digs and heading a few blocks over to a new storefront on 900 East. The longtime bar is set to land in a retail unit tucked among pizzerias and game shops in the heart of the Sugar House business strip. For now, regulars will have to sit tight: owners have not announced an opening date.
According to The Salt Lake Tribune, The Tap Room plans to relocate to 2148 S. 900 East, Unit D. The Tribune reports the move showed up on the state liquor commission agenda and that operators have already started preliminary work on the new build-out.
New home sits on a busy 900 East strip
A commercial listing for 2148 S. 900 E describes the space as a retail unit and lists co-tenants such as Este Pizzeria and Game Night Games, according to a property listing on Showcase. The listing offers a snapshot of the building’s tenant mix and its street-facing perch along the Sugar House corridor.
State licensing cleared at Panguitch meeting
The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services included The Tap Room’s change of location on its May 27–28 commission agenda in Panguitch, listing the move from 2021 S. Windsor St to 2148 S. 900 E Unit D and clearing the way for a license transfer. The agenda appears on the state’s public-notice site and is available through the DABS commission notice, as per the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services agenda.
What it’s leaving behind
The Tap Room has held court in Sugar House for years at 2021 S. Windsor St, where it has become a neighborhood fixture praised for its whiskey selection and patio. Local guides and listings still show the Windsor Street address as its current home base, according to City Weekly.
What’s next
Instagram posts cited in coverage show planning for the move has been underway since at least January, and reporting notes Salt Lake design firm OC&D is handling the fit-out. Operators have yet to share a firm timeline, so the opening date is still up in the air; The Salt Lake Tribune has additional details.
