Designer dancing |
145 West Pierpont Avenue Salt Lake City, UT 84101 United States +1 801 328 0868 |
In the popular Pierpont district is where you will find this club. A charge of $10 will get you a temporary membership, but if you will be in the area for an extended length of time, a $35 annual fee will save you some money in the long run. But, even if you have a membership, you may not get in. A strictly enforced dress code of designer duds may keep you out in the cold. Put on your best (dresses, button-down shirts, and jackets) and dance the night away. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old-fashioned charmer |
2168 South Highland Drive Salt Lake City, UT 84106 United States +1 801 466 0974 |
Here, you will not find much of a club atmosphere. What you will find is $1 Coors and a lot of locals. There are two large TVs showing nothing but sports, and likely a few college students at the bar. The place is narrow and sometimes fills up with the regulars, so you might want to come in the late afternoon when you can find a stool and shoot the breeze with the customers. If it is too crowded, you may have to wait in line for the pinball machine. Cash only. Review © 2007, Wcities |
