Though it’s nestled just yards away from the South Ogden commercial paradise of the Newgate Mall and Costco, the Green Whale is about as low-key of a hangout you can get. There’s a poker table, but no specific poker night—just stop by if you want to start a game. An ancient TV behind the bar is tuned to the programming of the bartender’s choice—when City Weekly stopped by, it was a highly addictive true-crime channel. It’s the perfect place to duck into to escape the hustle and bustle of Riverdale Road.
