This bar is located in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, across the street from City Creek, and provides the perfect atmosphere for a date. They have a selection of over 75 wines which are available by pour, flight, or bottle. BTG also offers a great selection of bites. We highly recommend the duck meatballs and charcuterie board.

Bodega + The Rest

Bodega is, hands down, the hippest bar in Downtown Salt Lake City. Bodega’s bartenders will craft you one of their delicious cocktails while you play Cards Against Humanity or Jenga with your date. Underneath Bodega is one of Salt Lake’s best hidden secrets: The Rest. The Rest is a speak-easy that you can only get into with a reservation. In The Rest, you can enjoy their amazing dinner menu and cocktails. Their décor is unlike anything you will ever see in another bar. Google Local Guide, Jarrdon Cozad, raves about The Rest in his review:

“The. Best. That's all you need to know. If you want to know more, read on. I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's the bitters that they make and use in house. It could also be the extremely talented bartenders. Or it could be the bit of Unicorn they use. Whatever it is in their drinks, it works.”

What we Can Expect From The New 2018 Lexus LS 500

As the end of the 2017 year approaches, many Lexus enthusiasts are anticipating the arrival of the new 2018 Lexus LS 500. A full redesign hasn’t happened since the model year 2007 so this will be an exciting year for all of us. The new 2018 Lexus LS 500 was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show. Here are some awesome new features we gathered from the recent press release.

F SPORT Look

Lexus designers didn’t hold back when giving the LS 500 its coupe-like silhouette and dramatic rendition of the Lexus signature spindle grille that shows even greater intricacy in the design. Developing the F SPORT grille took computer-aided design (CAD) operators some five months to achieve the desired texture and interaction with light.

LS 500 Chassis

The 2018 LS F SPORT models feature the latest generation of the brand’s advanced chassis control technology, Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM), which has been refined since its debut more than a decade ago.

The new VDIM system implements cooperative control of all vehicle subsystems–braking, steering, powertrain, and suspension–to control basic longitudinal, lateral, and vertical motion as well as yaw, roll, and pitch. Optimal control of these motions helps to enable exceptional ride comfort, enhanced traction, and safety and handling agility, and allows for enriched flat vehicle posture during cornering as well as a more comfortable and stable ride overall.

Sporting Genes

415-Horsepower Heart with a 10-Speed Partner, Lexus designed an all-new 3.5-liter V6 engine specifically for the new 2018 LS 500, using twin turbochargers developed through the company’s F1 technology. This new twin-turbo V6 offers V8-level performance–415 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque–paired with the first-ever 10-speed automatic transmission offered in a luxury sedan.

F SPORT Inside

Lexus shifted the LS 500 cabin to fit the F SPORT aesthetic by applying trim and features exclusive to this version. A common thread through all LS models remains: omotenashi, the concept of Japanese hospitality. When applied to the LS 500, it means taking care of the driver and passengers, anticipating their needs, attending to their comfort, and helping to protect them from hazards.

The anticipated sale date for the new LS is at the end of the 2017 year, and we at Larry H. Miller Lexus Murray are excited for its arrival. In the meantime, if you are in the market to purchase a new Lexus, browse our online inventory. If you see something you like, schedule a test drive today!
