Female friendships |
3424 South State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84115 United States +1 801 466 8517 |
This club in Salt Lake City stands as proof that the lesbian community is alive and well in Utah.

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 |

The seafood choices, like Pan Seared Fresh Alaskan Halibut, Steamed Clams and Mussels Marinière are not far behind their meaty counterparts. After a feast like that, you are bound to return soon!

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 |

Wings on a train |
602 East 500 South 500 Trolley Square Salt Lake City, UT 84102 United States +1 801 538 0745 |
Sitting just outside of Trolley Square is a special trolley car. Many people pass by without realizing there is a restaurant/pub inside. When you stop in, sit at the bar that resembles many English pubs, and order a beer. Try the wings while keeping tabs on the game playing on the TV set. After enjoying a drink, head for Trolley Square to do some shopping. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you are into sitting around, playing pool, and drinking beer; this smoky, loud bar is just the place for you. The lounge is much bigger and nicer inside than it looks from the outside, and it often fills up with regulars from all walks of life. Sandwiches, soups and salads are available during the day, but only chips and drinks are sold at night. The crowd is friendly, so have a seat at the bar or one of the booths and shoot the breeze with the locals. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A football favorite |
418 East 200 South Salt Lake City, UT 84111 United States +1 801 533 2473 |
A new favorite of football fans is this spicy-winged restaurant. With several TV sets playing local and national games from football to hockey, fans will always stay connected and know the score. If basketball bores you, how about a game of pool? You will have time to rack up points while waiting for your wings. Order the boneless tenders or the regular, but remember the special sauce. Try the Tongue Torch or the Nuclear if you are feeling brave. Beer is available with meals. Review © 2007, Wcities |
