Out-of-state visitors should take heed of local liquor laws. A bottle of
wine or liquor can only be purchased from a state-run store, and nightclubs
serving alcohol are private clubs requiring patrons to purchase memberships.
Some hotels have arrangements with certain local drinking establishments by
which your room key qualifies as your guest membership; otherwise, you will
have to purchase a temporary membership for a nominal fee from the clubs you
choose to visit.
The Depot, uniquely situated in the former Union Pacific railroad
station, boasts of the city's finest sound sysytem. They provide
deejay-driven disco action on Friday nights and concerts by heavy-hitters
from the rock and pop/jazz worlds through the week. More modern rock and pop
sounds fill the air at the Port O'Call Social Club. Dueling pianos keep the
joint jumpin' at the Taverancle Social Club.
You won't need a membership for any of the numerous local taverns or
brewpubs that sell beer only. One very popular brewpub is Squatters, which
features a wide variety of beers including cask-conditioned beers and ales,
and has an outdoor beer garden, a fireplace, and full kitchen with a
steak/fish/pasta menu.
In some restaurants you may purchase liquor but only if you're eating
food. For fine dining, try The Metropolitan, where the seasonal gourmet menu
changes weekly and the elegant design has taken home national awards. For
seafood, consider the Market Street Grille and Oyster Bar, which offers a
large seafood menu and some steaks. In the adjoining Oyster Bar, a private
club, the menu is the same but the atmosphere much better, and entrance is
worth the $5 temporary membership cost for a group of six or less.
For detailed, up-to-date club and event listings, be sure to pick up a
copy of the local alternative paper Salt Lake City Weekly.
