4 Best Dive Bars near South Salt Lake

“If you enjoy a dive bar, which I do, then you'll love this place. It is a great little divey dive, and apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so, because it was packed at 7 PM on Friday night, and the band was just starting to set up. I was there for a quick drink and bite to eat before a movie, so I can't speak to the quality of the live music, but the food was solidly tasty and reasonably priced; I had a grilled ham and cheese with a side of some very good potato salad. Two beers and a filling meal for just under thirty bucks is square deal these days. One tip: try to enter the parking lot from the west, i.e., the back way off of Guest Ave rather than off of State St. For some reason the parking spaces are angled to facilitate traffic flow in that direction, and if you come in from State you'll be pointed the wrong way when you try to park. Or I was anyway, maybe. Also, don't try to park close to the front door of the Tavern. Apparently, all of those spots belong to a Korean noodle joint across the way, and when someone puts up a sign saying they'll tow your car if you park there, believe them, because there's tow truck company somewhere who's just dying to take your money, and chances are they'll hook up your car and ask questions later. There are plenty of parking spaces to the west/northwest of the Tavern (behind the noodle joint) which do not threaten to turn your enjoyable evening into a $500 fustercluck.Parking: Many of the spots close to the door of the Tailgate Tavern are marked as reserved for the Korean noodle restaurant across the parking lot. But there are plenty of unmarked spaces farther to the west, behind the noodle restaurant/north of the Tavern.“

“Twilite is my go to place! Top tier tenders, top tier music, top tier vibes, top tier patrons. If you want the best dive experience in the heart of slc twilite should be your first stop. I always drink for a good price and feel safe doing so!! Love the twilite crew and they way they run ship 100%!!“

“Since the owner Val toom over a couple years ago, this place has been a hit spot for me. She is so charismatic, fun, friendly and welcoming. So much great energy here. Love coming for karaoke. They have an awesome DJ. Positive vibes from here. Always!Also love the Mexican restaurant adjacent to Mannys. Awesome that they'll deliver your food to you so you don't miss your spot in karaoke ?“

“Small and intimate playing Cypress Hill on the jukebox. If you like beer you can order 4 for $10. They give you a pint and three tokens so the draft is fresh every pour. Big Willie's is right across the street so you can order food from Big Willie's and they will deliver your food with a big smile and extra Fry sauce. You can call in your order. There is an app but not sure if you can order food from it. If you order food to be delivered, break it off for them with a $10 spot at least, just sayin'. We're play playing a league tournament and everyone is having a good time, win or lose. I like this little spot. Big industrial sized Golden Tee, big screen TVs showing sports and they do Karaoke! Cool ass bar!“
