Explaining
our quirky liquor laws
As a visitor, you may be surprised to know that Utah has over 400 places where you can get
a drink. But, it's a little different than just walking into your neighborhood bar
and ordering your choice of beverage. So, this page was created to explain our liquor
laws and how to get a drink in Utah.
There are 3 types of places to get a drink.
1. Private clubs
2. Restaurants with a liquor license
3. Brew pubs, beer bars and taverns
1. PRIVATE CLUBS--A private club is a
"bar" that sells almost every type of liquor available. Some only offer
traditional bar snacks, but these days savvy club owners have the insight to offer
extensive food menus.
You must be 21 or older to get into a Utah Private Club.
Yearly memberships to private clubs run anywhere from $ 13. to $ 30. per year. A three-week temporary
membership is only $ 4. which enables you and your guests to enter and enjoy.
Most private clubs do not charge a cover charge unless there is something big going on,
like a hot local or national band.
Most private clubs have themes or theme nights as well. Anywhere from sports, jazz,
disco, local entertainment, karaoke, piano, quiet conversation and country western to big
name entertainment.
Most have pool tables, dancing, cigars and smoking is allowed in private clubs.
2. RESTAURANTS WITH A LIQUOR LICENSE--Almost all
fine restaurants can serve liquor with your lunch or dinner. A meal must be ordered!
The only exceptions would be Marie Callenders, Denny's, Dee's Family Restaurants and a
handful of small eateries that cater to families or do not feel a liquor license with all
of the state regulations to comply with is worth the hassle.
Smoking is prohibited in restaurants!
3. BREW PUBS, BEER BARS & TAVERNS--
Just like
the name
implies, that's what you get. Beer, red beer, micro brews and wine spritzers, that's
it!
Our brew pubs do offer some of the best food in town and are definitely worth
visiting. Many also offer specialty coffees.
No membership is needed and most do not have a cover charge unless there is a good band
playing.
Pool tables, etc. for entertainment.
Smoking is allowed.
