Drinks & Nightlife
I only added East Liberty Taphouse as the bar/restaurant around the corner. The best place to go explore is main street downtown between about 100 south and 500 south. Quite a few bars open onto the street or have sidewalk seating.
The first 'bar' to be approved in the neighborhood! (this is kindof a big deal for SLC) Nice atmosphere with great deck... not the best for food even though owned by the same group as Pago.

A large city park nearby! This has a farmers market some nights in the summer, large fields with drum circles, a sledding hill, a pond, tennis courts, public pool, the tracy aviary and the chase museum of Utah folk arts. Also a great place to run (~1.5miles around I think) where in the morning you may run into the national guard.
