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 |

New American cuisine |

This bistro is located in the Emerson neighborhood, close to the University. It is known for both, its delicious New American cuisine, and its winebar offerings.

Choosing between the Duck Confit, Rôtisserie Free-Range Chicken and Grilled Australian Rack of Lamb can be tough—they're all delicious! 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!

A retro-hip hangout |

A football favorite |

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.
