Reviews
Very cool club, people abd staff were friendly and the dance floor was pumping. Definitely recommend
I remember Area 51 the first day opening .
That's so many years ago. I have some great memories and some hard knocks too but enjoy every minute of it
Quite a few people complaining about the only cash cover when that is a perfectly normal thing. Most clubs I have been to all over the country only have cash covers. It is slower than a lot of clubs but if you embrace it, it is no problem. Definitely not the place to go alone but if u have 3+ people with you, you will have a blast.
The music downstairs is meh to me but they also have an upstairs dance floor that plays bangerz a lot. People complaining about the music are dumb because the top floor takes song requests and it is slow enough 90% of the time that your music WILL be played. Me and my friends had an absolute blast. Being able to dance around the dance floor freely without being crushed by other people. A stage where you can cheer your friends on and cages where you can dance if you are feeling frisky.
The drink prices are the cheapest in the area and the bartenders and security are the nicest I have experienced at any club in Utah. Made some great recommendations.
As for the people complaining about the bathrooms and chairs- yes some are a little worn and torn but it isn't like they are completely destroyed. They are good enough to do their job and that is that. Nothing there is grossly dirty about any of it. Just because it is a little run down compared to some of the other clubs around doesn't mean it is gross or dirty. It was made 25+ years ago which in Utah is wild.
Best time going out I have had in a while and will definitely be returning. Sorry to this place for all the 1 star reviews very few of them are based or deserved.
Had a fun night once I got in, bartender (Loki I think his name is was amazing, one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.)
My only complaint is the super long wait to get in, and then come to find out it's because it's cash only to get in? And all of the people who obviously don't have cash because who does that anymore, have to use an atm? But for some reason all the card readers in the rest of the building work fine. Riiight. Who's taking bribes from the atm service is my question? Freaking silly. Next time maybe I'll bring a goat or some wheat to trade, cause apparently we gotta go back in time to enter this club.
bogos binted?
Place sure has sold out, catering to the frats and sororities . . . Those who probably don't recognize the difference between post punk and daft punk. Used to be a cool hang for the counter culture. Look elsewhere in SLC for anything fun.
An absolute freak show.
i never post reviews about anything but if i could give this place a zero i would, so sketchy, i got the worst vibes from this place, you wanna know what it felt like? like a human trafficking ring. it was basically EMPTY and then there was …
