I have been to Kennedy's Cabaret a couple of times now. Kennedy, the owner, is inspiring. What she is doing goes beyond Cabaret. She is providing a venue for both experienced talent and new talent in various forms of entertainment. I have met a few of the entertainers like Ciara. Search Instagram for ciarapoledanceand Aria. Search Instagram for ariasaerials19These are just two of the fine talent Kennedy's Cabaret showcases.Aria came to our table, after her performance, and spoke with my wife and myself. She showed genuine interest in meeting us. Aria is not only talented but an athlete with strength to impress. Her pole and hoop work just amazed me.Ciara is also extremely talented and an athlete as well. She is very kind and thoughtful performer. She asked me what music artist I liked and she then gave, what felt like, a personal performance for me; making eye contact, having a smile and I swear she winked at me.Both Aria and Ciara (as well as the other performers) make the experience personal.Great performers make the extremely difficult to look easy and these women do that. Cabaret absolutely has an erotic element, and these women do not disappoint. Physically fit, toned, sexy and talented is a combination that makes tipping these performers a pleasure. They earn and deserve big tips in my book.What makes Kennedy's Cabaret different and better than other venues is the owner (Kennedy) and how she cares about the performers. Kennedy is creating more than just a cabaret but a place for artists of all kinds to have a stage and audience. From my experience at other venues, this is one of the many aspects that makes Kennedy's Cabaret a special place.Note that the cover charge goes to the talent and not the owner's pocket. Kennedy's Cabaret is the kind of place we're you will feel like you belong there and want to frequently return to. I will take photos on my next visit.As for the couple of negative reviews, I find them sad and disappointing. Those persons didn't take the time or put forth any energy to discover what a gem Kennedy's Cabaret is and how wonderful the people are that work and perform their. If you got through my long review and see this note, don't let the few negative reviews influence you to not go to Kennedy's not just once but many times.Also note the amount spent includes the tips we give to the performers. Drink prices are easy on the wallet too.Parking: There is more parking than may first meet the eye. You can park in front of the gate as the bar is open after the gate use hours. You can also park along the building on the west side of the parking lot and in front of the Soup Kitchen. There are four slots reserved for the talent. You can also park under the overpass. I have never seen any persons there that would cause me concern. I think you can also park on the street out front but I need to confirm that.

Awesome atmosphere, friendly and talented staff! Kennedy is a genuine soul and has created a beautiful environment for artists to express their creativity! 100% of the door covers go to the artists! I’ve been in about 5 times since they opened in June, and it was pretty slow then but has recently been getting busier. Will definitely be coming back soon!!!

Terrible parking. I had to hike from under a questionable overpass. The food menu was a joke at best. A microwaved hot pocket for $5 is not a menu in my opinion. The bar tender was inebriated and rude. The owner was condescending and nasty and the beer was flat. The only redeeming thing were the performers. Although I overheard they don't actually get paid other than tips. The fact that there are positive reviews blows my mind. I watched a dancer almost hit; her head on the air duct that was barely above the stage. Someone is going to get seriously hurt dancing on that deathtrap.Parking: Parking is under a dangerous overpass

It's located in a rough ghetto part of town and they ask you to park under a freeway overpass *RED FLAG ONE!Park next to the bum camp and when you walk in they insist you tip AND bring in your own $1s. Mind you it's not a strip club but they act like and think they are but yet they aren't. Posers & phonies **RED FLAG TWO This is the kind of business that is due to get raided by vice cops because they act like something they are not.The building is okay....ish. It's unfinished and cold vibes and a bit of a step up from a car garage with a layer of paint but again it's not a strip club so don't expect anything beyond what you would find at a garage sale. The selection of drinks is nothing to rave about because this is the Wish version of Prohibition (a much better bar in Salt Lake) and the dancers are the left overs of what the real strip clubs in SLC don't want.It's a niche dive that has a strong feel of hipsters who think they are too good for regular bars so they built their own clubhouse....But they want YOU to pay the electric bill so they put thier Mom on a small soapbox stage and force you to tip her ***RED FLAG THREEParking: Parking located under freeway overpass where the homeless sleep

This place is excellent! Classy, clean and fun environment. Comfortable seating with amazing entertainment. We had a great date night at Kennedys Cabaret and are grateful to have this place to return to. It feels like the den/lounge/speakeasy I would love to have in my own home. The performers are top notch. We saw burlesque, lyra, pole and contortionist performances that blew our minds. We support our local artists and performers and are bringing friends next time. Thank you for providing a nice place for us to enjoy.
Last night being a wed night was the First time I have been to a cabaret! I had a great time!. The performers were genuine, polite, talented and professional. They each have their unique style! I felt a huge sense of support and teamwork from the performers. They know how to have fun, WOWING, and enrolling the guests with their creative talents and abilities. The lady bartender was very attentive, funny, and assisted for a professional, fun, and laid back experience. The owner stopped by for a bit to check in and introduce herself to ask if I was enjoying myself. I told her it was my first time and just wanted feedback about proper edict for the space, performers and environment. She made me feel comfortable enough to ask. I feel This serves in an huge way to ensure safety, fun, and honoring experience for the performers and the guests especially when it’s new terrian. I learned She is a local artist as well and I love how passionate she is about her vision for her cabaret! My favorite besides all of it and the experience this 1st time was the arial hoop and belly dancing. Thank you very much to the owner, the talented performers, and bartender for the awesome 1st time experience! My friend that came with me and I both enjoyed it. Thank you! I know personally…..we both will be visit again!
