Mr. Right no harm no foul!
I tend to get a bit defensive about OOTAH.
The first thing I tell people after I'm from SLC .... is "no I'm not LDS".
All usually with in the same breath...

Hopefully we can get some turns in this season.

MPD.... I have to second that motion LDS chicky's are waaay hot.
The deal is that a restaurant has to be a "private club" to serve alcohol.
(lame but a step up from the dark ages).
When ever I’ve been over there visiting it seems to be more of a formality.

3.2 beer UGH!

The running joke always was that everyone drives to the Wyoming boarder to buy liquor.
Not sure if thats still the case but there are liquor stores right across the border.

Everyone I know over there wants outsiders to think it’s a horrible place.
Keeps the Californians & Texans out & real estate prices more reasonable.

I love it there... mountains galore & an EPIC desert playground just a few hours to the south.

Ahhh Ooootah. Fantastic snow, amazing terrain, boring as shit after the day is over...

Seriously, every place you go out to eat turns into "family time".

Definitely not much of a party scene there. I guess it has partially to do with the "weaksauce" they try to serve as alcohol.

But hey, all other things are pretty much usual there. Utah is definitely towards the top of my list of places I would live besides Colorado. So it can't be very bad at all. Plus all those cute mormon girls need to be "bad" for some part of their life. I know some people that have done quite well being the filler for them...

I remember I was in this one bar there..Actually it was an Applebees(they had a bar no prob). I was with Ale, specialK,troubleinc drinking and eating. I had my hat on kev got me the dead hat with the tails. Anyway I was telling him...ohhh its a chick magnet this hat u got me. He doesnt believe me..later when the place was winding down this girl walks out from the kitchen. Troubleinc worked there so she knew everyone..Anyway this girl walks out...WOW! and she looks across the room and shouts "that is a cool hat, I like it, looks good on ya". If u could have seen the drunk look on kevs face. and she was drop dead georgeous too.


But honestly I didnt conceive it to be anyplace more difficult to get a drink at than any other city...It doesnt have the scene other places have but then again they have scenes like those mountains surrounding that compensate for a lesser location of alcohol places.

hahaha!
I always get a huge laugh out of people who go to Utah & expect to party hard...
You go to Utah if you're into riding/biking/climbing/rafting/hiking etc.

I was there during the Sundance Film Fest & Park City was tons of fun.
Nothing but free drinks (I got to drink on the band tab) & faded memories.

But in all honesty I've done the bar scene in SLC & I cant complain (except for the wicked hang over I had the next morning). My cousin always takes me to the "right" places to get our drink on.

I have to agree with you KC ...
If I could land a decent job over there, I'd move in a heart beat.

man i think maybe because you grew up here it is easier to find alchohaul but im from out of state, and i cannot find the crazy house parties that happen in every other state. ive had more encounters with cops here than anywhere else. last year in the dorms, because we were being loud at like midnight, my r.a. called the cops and they broke the door down and gave us all tickets for drinking. the only thing this state is good for is raves.

oh and btw, go to the state run liquor stores early because some of them close at seven on saturday.

U definitely have to know where to go in slc. But from the top side I would say it appeared to be like other cities actually.

Hahaha! Pretty much sums up Oootah. Really if you're drinking and being loud at midnight, can you expect any less. The riding is great and the nightlife is the polar opposite.

Yeah, I agree it's one of the finer spots around. For some people it's not even a consideration. I find Utah a place worth me getting out of my backyard and visiting from time to time forsure.
