Nightlife

Despite the generally conservative atmosphere of Salt Lake City, there are plenty of night spots for music and entertainment, from country western line-dancing to jazz, blues and rock'n'roll. Utah does have unique liquor laws. Taverns and lounges only sell beer. Mixed drinks are sold at private clubs throughout the day; visitors are welcome and can buy a two-week membership to most clubs for US$5. Alcohol may be ordered with a meal in most restaurants after midday; ask for a liquor menu; other than that there are no licensing hours. The minimum drinking age is 21 years.

Bars and clubs:
Sports bars are popular in Salt Lake City. Some popular venues for watching the big match on a big screen are the Beehive Lounge at the Ramada Inn Downtown, Club Max at the Doubletree Hotel, and Conversations at the Holiday Inn Airport. Many bars now feature micro-brewed beers. These include City Creek Martini Bar at the Wyndham Hotel, which also offers a martini and cigar menu, the Red Rock Brewing Company on South 200 West Street, and Junior's Tavern on East 500 South Street, where you can also get a pint of Guinness.

Live music:
The Dead Goat Saloon on South West Temple is a perennial favourite with live music most nights. Papiyons on West Pierpont Avenue is one of the city's hottest nightclubs with dancing six days a week. The Zephyr Club on South West Temple features national touring bands.
