|
155 E 200 South, Salt Lake City 84111-1508 • 801-532-9114 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. A bit seedy – but cozily so – Bar-X tends to get a little rowdy at times, especially on game nights. An interesting mix of students and local armchair QBs crowds in on a nightly basis, looking to meet up with friends, down a few brews, and maybe even settle into a few orders of their favorite pub grub. If the conversation begins to lull (or gets drowned out by the blaring jukebox), then just head to the back and shoot a few games of pool. |

Cotton Bottom Inn |

|
2820 E 6200 South, Holladay 84121-2320 • 801-273-9830 |
|
|
| |
Description:
HOLLADAY. Some discriminating locals may dismiss this fun joint as "just another beer bar." In fact, the place has a style and character all its own, from the always-present Hogs lined up out front to the tragically hilarious Bugs Bunny motif inside. Make your way in, sidle up to the bar, and place an order for your favorite cold one. After a while, should you start feeling hungry, take a peek at the pub menu. Heaping sandwiches and burgers can satisfy just about any need. |

| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Located in the downtown Sheraton City Centre Hotel, this upscale watering hole is a favorite with the business crowd. Indeed, after a conference or convention, it's not unusual to spot a few well-dressed movers and shakers hanging out at the bar and sipping downtown's best martinis. The Bar is cigar-friendly, and should you forget your favorite stogie, they have plenty to choose from. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. A favorite with downtown's young professionals and students from the U of U, this cozy nightspot is upscale without being overly pretentious. Indeed, you'll likely find the slacks and sweater crowd sipping beer or mixed drinks and alternating between the patio area and the upstairs level, where bands play.

Iggy's Sports Grill |
|
(Nightlife - Bars) |
|
423 W 300 South, Salt Lake City 84101 • 801-532-9999 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. If you can't score tix for the big game, an excellent alternative is catching it on the big screens at Iggy's, one of SLC's favorite sports bars. Just like in the world of sports, everything here can be judged by the numbers: 20+ brews on tap, 21 television monitors, a 111-inch monster tube, and a mammoth 1-pound hamburger. All of this adds up to great fun. When you're ready for a break from the testosterone, walk around and take in the joint's cool atmosphere, which includes sports-related odds and ends. |

Junior's Tavern |

(Nightlife - Bars) |
|
30 E 300 South, Salt Lake City 84111-3204 • 801-322-0318 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. One of the downtown area's best neighborhood bars, Junior's has been a jazz-lover's haven since 1974. Aside from cold Guinness and Cutthroat, what regulars adore most about Junior's is the jazzy atmosphere that invites people in and surrounds them with friendly vibes – that cool, nostalgic look of a joint that's been around for a while. Autumnal colors and an impressive wall of beer cans add character, and Junior's occasionally hosts live music as well. A small outdoor patio is fun too. Membership required. |

Totem's Private Club and Steakhouse |

|
|
| |
Description:
WEST VALLEY CITY. A popular after-work hangout, this private club features classic Western fare and rustic, lodge-like atmosphere. A cafe serves delicious breakfasts each day, and the restaurant features grilled chicken, steak, and fish options (each one is accompanied by a large baked potato and side salad). The club becomes quite an Old West disco, as 30- and 40-something patrons dance to Top 40 and disco tunes. Indeed, this isn't your father's private club. If dancing isn't your thing, mosey over to the bar, order your favorite poison, and watch the game on the tube. Since Totem's is a private club, you'll need to purchase a temporary membership. |

SANDY. If you find yourself in Sandy on the day of the big game, head to this inviting sports bar, where you're sure to have a great time even if your team falls short.

After dinner, you'll definitely want to visit the games area, where you'll find pool tables, video games, dart boards, and the like. |
