The team behind Post Office Place, including executive chef Brandon Kawakami and beverage director Crystal Daniels, have roots in Salt Lake City.

Vintage decor, unique liquors, and a menu of Japanese spirits among the highlights at this downtown bar.

Gibo and Romney designed the bar from the ground up, including vintage mailboxes and granite to match the courthouse across the street. Art and wood tables, both produced locally, add to the strong design. The recognition comes to a bar that has been open less than five years — a span that included the years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, Daniels said she believes Post Office Place has one of the country’s larger selections of shōchū.
