Cotton Bottom Inn will be purchased by owners of Salt Lake City’s Bar X and Beer Bar

The owners of Salt Lake City’s Bar X and Beer Bar say they will purchase Holladay’s iconic Cotton Bottom Inn and remodel it — promising to maintain the atmosphere of the quintessential neighborhood tavern while also keeping its signature garlic cheeseburgers on the menu.

The Bar X Group — which also owns The Eating Establishment in Park City— will officially take over the business in March, new co-owner Jeff Barnard said in a news release. Before then, the beer-only bar, located at 6252 South Holladay Blvd., will be expanded. It will remain open during construction.

The project will include a 3,000-square-foot expansion of the dining area and an enhanced patio, Barnard said.
