Two weeks before I had come from another bar because I was given a Long Island tea by the bar tender without knowing what was in it (they picked it for me) i'm not used to drinking so it was a lot on my body, so I went to the next bar over to get water which was Jackalope lounge. They seem fine and also worried about me because I had so much to drink. I was just standing in the corner the entire time drinking water, not talking to anybody. I then left with no issues. I come back two weeks later to find out that I guess I can't be there on busy nights anymore because I threw up a lot. I know for a fact, I did not throw up I remember the entire night and all I did was go to the bathroom multiple times to pee because I was drinking so much water. I just decided to leave because I didn't wanna cause any issues but I know for a fact I did not throw up. I'm extremely upset. I can't be there because of something that didn't happen. Not coming back. read more

Came here after the art festival and the bartender is super nice! There's a ton of game boards to choose from to keep entertained. We were sitting at the bar so we selected a trivia card game to save space. They also have specials like the beer and a shot at a cheap price! Definitely coming back when I'm downtown! read more

This is a small bar with tables and a pool table. The service is quick and efficient. The drinks are decent. The stools at the bar, however, have seen their better days. They are worn down and the seats are tearing. I didn't want to sit on them because I had a shorter dress on. read more

This place is a great dive bar! Was the n town for work but can be in and had a few beers. Pool table in the back. Drinks were cold and fair. Will definitely come back! read more

!!Service was HORRIBLE 12/30/24!! 20 mins before closing my friends and I walk into this bar with they're OPEN sign on. Server very rude like asks for all of our ID's and makes hints that he will be closing SOON. We stop to decide if we wanna stay cause we can feel his hostility, but he persists to take our orders. I tried to order a cocktail and he takes a long pause giving me a death glare and says "come on I'm not making that" then says I'm only doing shots so I take it into consideration and starts to figure out what shot I want but he start to yell at us saying "you guys are killing me" "I'm trying to close" "hurry up what do you want" so I rightfully declined my drink because he deserved none of my money and I'll never come here again! read more

Nico is the absolutely amazing! Great hospitality for those traveling to SLC. No compliments, great prices, music and service! Definitely a go to bar in SLC! read more

I'm deeply disappointed by my experience at this restraint. My father and I were treated with complete disrespect simply because of our skin color. Not only were we unfairly accused of being intoxicated, but we were also kicked out for no reason other than our appearance (myself being military, and other Law Enforcement. This behavior is unacceptable, and no one should ever be made to feel unwelcome or mistreated because of their race. It's clear that this restaurant does not value inclusivity or basic decency. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this establishment unless they want to experience the same blatant discrimination. I'll be taking this matter further with the appropriate authorities. read more

Female bartender is super friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is mellow but fun and an easy place to spend some time!

Best skate snowboarding dive bar ever. Bad service if you're an asshole ! Cheep drinks real people!!

Don't come here if you ant them to snap your id and even if it's valid. They would rather lose money than have paying costumers. Don't come here. They over charge. And are rude at check in read more

Those 5 stars are for our bartender Chase. We were the only ones in because it was like 1:30-2 on a week day. He offered us creative drinks and spent time talking with us and making us feel at home. Great guy! Also this bar literally looks like a movie set. read more

Standard dive bar. No frills, just cheap drinks made fast. The bartender mike was super friendly and genuinely hilarious.

Staying walking distance from here. Found on these apps and it seemed cool. In town for a heavy metal show. Got a beer right away! Hit the men's room. Guy who seemed like a regular based off us walking in at the same time called me a homophobic slur (fa**ot) three times while I was at the urinal and I tried to ignore him and observed he was cutting up blow with a knife. Nothing against blow folk but the name calling and homophobia kind of threatening with the knife? I got out of there ASAP but looking back kind of wish I smashed his face into the sink. Just my 10 minute experience at the bar. read more

Fun little dive bar! The atmosphere reminded me of my small hometown bar. We enjoyed our drinks for a great price!

Cheap dive bar. Perfect for travelers and someone who wants a local watering hole. It's a quite place to bring a first date. There is one pool table and lots of board and card games. $5 dollar daily deal with a shot and a beer read more

Absolute garbage. Tried to ask the bouncer a question, she got mad because she didn't know the answer so she asked a bartender and he just told us to leave. Don't waste your time. read more

Went there for pride Sunday afternoon, I feel like I was the only sober person there so when I took a shot of vodka I was surprised that it went down so easily. Realized they watered down the shots because I can not handle any shots ever. Tried a second shot to confirm and I was right. So I would suggest going other places if you want to a real shot. I guess they just wanted to make sure we were all hydrated. read more

Bartender was a jerk- we got up and left. Maybe next time he isn't there we'll try again.

My experience at this bar yesterday was the worst. Was looking forward to watching the Superbowl with my wife and having a drink. So I ordered a drink sat down was looking for some food online to be delivered when a friendly guest told us there's a place next door as well that serves food so we went next door to eat. Finished my drink we went next door came back to the bar to watch the game when the rudest bartender ever had the audacity to tell me in my face. Are u gonna tip this time in front of everyone. Mind u. I've been in the bar and restaurant buis. For 30 years. And never had a comment made like he did. As a server or bartender u night ur tongue and hope the next would be better. But no this guy just wouldn't stop. Therefore I hope that management sees this post and fires this man. I also rate this bar 0 stars. read more

The guy working at the bar took my REAL ID and told me to call the police so I did , and as we were waiting he came out and told us we can't sit in the bench in the pouring rain because we are not paying customer and made us stand in the pouring rain to wait. THEN proceeded to call me a clown for having sparkles in my hair. Pretty unprofessional. read more

I was a designated driver for a friend of mine that wanted to come here for a few beers after work. Ashley was our bartender. AWESOME, AWESOME lady!! Very polite to everyone, even when patrons were not following her rules. I noticed a lady come in with a guy, obviously very drunk already.. The lady tried to say that she comes here all the time (not producing ID immediately).. Ashley said: "I still need to see your ID" - Which is perfectly fine, polite, and acceptable... Unlike another bar that has an issue with that. Ashley is awesome!! She makes the atmosphere enjoyable, and keeps the place fun to be around. She may be tiny, but dynamite comes in small packages. Love this place!! Next day still working, Todd was my bartender. Very polite, always kept my drinks filled! I would give more stars if I could! Nothing but smiles! You know, I just read all of the negative reviews that I could about this place.... Honestly? I haven't seen ANY problems yet. Ashley AND Todd have BOTH been VERY friendly, polite and attentive, keeping my drinks full. This place could use a new charger base for their phone charger... But, meh... OTHER bars don't even HAVE a place that you can just plug your phone in, and charge your phone up. Not that I have noticed anyway. Great job so far! "Dade" just kicked a guy out... I don't know what the guy was doing. The guy was being "offensive" in some manner... Dade did an AWESOME job staying polite and professional. And... AND, the guy is welcome to come back tomorrow!! Just banned for the night. Awesome way to keep business coming in the door. "Moondog" is pretty cool too. Haven't had any issues with anyone. read more

Second time here in SLC. Good easy going hangout. My style, no frills, chill crowd, good beer. Mellow music. Haven't had food here yet. I always hit the Pie Hole a few yards away first (pizza by the slice). read more

Jackalope is a'ight for a dive bar. I'm from Seattle, one of the hipster-iest places on earth, so I've been in my fair share of dive bars. This one is ok, lots of guys wearing plaid (ya know straight guys that either pretend not to or legitimately don't realize they're all dressed exactly alike), yeah lots and lots of flannel, it was laughable. The girls here though aren't particularly hipster, just that "I hear punk is cool so I'm going to try to like, dress like that?" types. It's hard to judge drinks in Utah since they're all the same but they had good specials! read more

If you're looking to have a shit-yah time with the coolest peeps in Salt Lake...hit up the Jackalope Lounge! Once owned and created by Tattoo artists from Lost Art Tattoo (also, a top recommend in Salt Lake), this bar is covered in sick art work, skateboards, and Jackalopes. Pinball, foosball, pool and cheap drinks are only a few of the draws to this friendly lil' spot we like to call home. In fact, I probably spend more time there than home, as do about 40 0r 50 of my closest friends. Everyday: $3 Jager and $2 Jim Beam, as well as a $2 beer special!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS PEOPLE???= a shot and a beer for $5!! That is seriously amazing!!!! (Especially since I just got back from New York, and holy mutha, the bank account is going to need some recovery time). If you love life, you will dig this joint.. Never a dull moment and always a good time! read more

I really like this bar, cheap drinks, and great people! The employees are super attractive, and great eye candy for the ladies. 5 dollar shot and beer every day, and plenty of seating. DRINK AT THIS BAR read more

Stopped by here on a whim late one Saturday night. I'd been past plenty of times during the afternoon due to it's proximity to the City Library. From the outside on a late Saturday afternoon it seems like a rough place to go. It's right next to the "Heavy Metal Shop" and a Tattoo parlor so go figure. It looks like a dark "dive bar" atmosphere, nearly everybody going in and out seemed to have extensive tattoos, heavy metal hoodies, or mowhawks. Music-wise these are my people and are all basically the group of friends I've hung out with since I was out of High School. But at the bar when alcohol is involved I'd rather not be involved in a bar fight with people who wear plenty of studded clothes that can be used as weapons, I'm looking to relax and enjoy a drink. Ironically (and having grown up with guys like these I should have known) this place is a great pub to hang out and have a beer with open minded people. Being that it get's a bit less traffic some of the larger more popular bars it's not packed, you don't have to wait to get a drink, and as a result everybody is alot less likely to go aggro for no reason. The inside is not too large, there are a few booths and a few tables. There is plenty of bar space and the bartenders keep up on the customer really well. There is a huge selection of bottled beer and decent beers on tap. Saturday had a DJ there playing music which seemed odd in a bar this size but was nice for some variety. The crowd is mainly twenty-somethings and not the jock-tocracy like you see at Sandbar, but older people like myself won't feel too out of place. Especially since we were rocking it old school while these kids were in elementary school listening to Hanson. I had it pegged as one of the more dangerous bars (relatively speaking) but this is actually a good relaxed place place for the crew that doesn't spend hours writing poetry in a coffee shop. read more

Cool little dive bar. Very chill. Cheap drinks. Music was good. Moondog was cool. No food, but you can order somewhere else, and eat there.

This is my favorite dive bar in slc! With always a friendly staff and cheap drinks. Since I love to drink And i can have a few cocktails for just 20$ this is my go-to spot always taking new people with me. Check it out read more

Go here on an evening during the weekend and it will be hopping with people. Dive-bar all the way. I love going to a place that really feels like the party has started. This bar is that place. It can sometimes feel too full of people - which is not a bad problem for a place to have, but can feel claustrophobic if you are not ready for it. Large variety of beers! read more

The only bar in SLC with a minimum card purchase. $10 minimum? No wonder this place isn't popular anymore. Also, I know Utah has some messed up laws, but forcing someone to purchase at least $10 of an altering substance is the only thing I think should be illegal in this state. That's cool you have a $2 beer, but I only want one or two, not 5... No wonder no one comes here anymore. read more

I like Jackalope when it's empty. When it's not, it's full of snowbro wannabes and their 21 year old female hangers-on. To some people, that might sound like fun. But it's not. Blaring modern (read: terrible) hip-hop music makes conversations impossible. Drinks are cheap though, which is why I still find myself here on random weekday evenings. For about an hour. read more

This place is way beyond a bar to me. These people are family!! I love everything about this place. The staff is wonderful, and Sunyin is the best. They were even amazing enough to throw my wife and I a wedding after party! Best place to sit down for a chill after work drink, or come and party you weekend nights away! Awesome price with a bunch of drink options. Hope to see you there!! read more

Met up here with a number of people I had never met before in my life. This was a meetup spot for my girlfriends 25th high school reunion the next day. Narrow place, still not cramped inside. All of the staff were friendly and with their regulars they seemed quite happy to see them. I placed a drink order for a few of us and asked for a soda for myself. I was told as I was the driver, mine was on the house. We grabbed a center table and whilst carrying on throughout the night the DJ kept the music going and the folks that worked there kept clearing away the empties. Nice bar, well decorated and friendly folks inside. Only downside that night was a temporary air conditioning problem. :( read more

Went bar hopping downtown with a couple buddies and we split off in this area so 3 went to pie hole for food and me and another came here for a last drink of the night (about 12 am maybe 12:15 Max). We had been drinking prior of course but we weren't smashed, we walk in and the bouncer checks our ID's and says "the bartenders won't serve you you're too drunk and have slurred speech". Which would be fair if we were smashed or rowdy or loud. But it was 2 of us. We went up and sat at the bar and told the bartender about it and he told us we were fine and seemed just as drunk as anyone else there. Service from the bartenders was A+. Drink prices were mediocre. Drinks were fairly strong and tasted good. The minimum of $10 seems kind of cheap, I work for a small business and we accept all credit cards and don't have a minimum and I guarantee this bar makes more money than us. It just seems like a cheap thing to skip out on. TLDR; cool bartenders, good drinks, douche bouncer, bring cash read more

I love the place for a drink. That being said the weird kitchen people that seem to work when they feel like it (I.e. Opening time is 5 pm and yet couldn't get chips and salsa until after 7. ) Either don't offer food or offer real hours. That is insane which even the bartenders seem to agree with. They get blamed for their horribly inconsistent kitchen which is privately contracted. Don't blame the awesome bartenders for the nonexistent food. read more

To the "bouncer" with the duck tape name tag with the name Grant on it, I want to know who trained you or gave you your job because as a customer your professionalism and the way you treat paying customers is genuinely horrible and less then the bare minimum. This bouncer told the 22 year old female who was part of our party to "go fuck herself" when she was trying to help dissolve a negative situation. While have already said that he proceeded to talk to all of us in a very disgusting and hostile manner when the whole time we were just trying to be respectable customers and pay our tabs that were still open. We just went outside to check in with two friends that were outside the Jackalope when Grant then proceeded to not let us back in to finish the other half of our drinks and pay our tab. I personally do not recommend supporting this business unless you support men being very disrespectful and treating women like shit. read more

I have had some spectacular times at Jackalope. The crowd seems to change all the time. Some days, you'll get snow bros. Other days, you'll have hipsters. And they're never short on tattooed folk. It gets a little packed on the weekends but the regulars seem to show up on the week days. A tiny dive bar nestled within a few fun spots: a tattoo shop, sushi, and hello Pie Hole! You can't beat their drink "specials," which are not special, they're just for real. When I was there before Beer Fest, they had $2 Jim Beam, $3 Jager, $1 High Life beer and $3 Shock Top beer. What a steal. read more

Ladies ladies ladies. If someone takes you to this bar on a date, run. Don't get me wrong, the bar is ok but not a for a date. The bar is more of a tattoo and hipster bar. The hard liquor drinks are cheap and the beer is flowing. I think this is one of the few bars in SLC with a great deal of character. On the weekends they have a DJ and it is not that far from the Pie Hole. This is a bar you definitely need to visit in Salt Lake City. read more

This place is your average hipster bar. It's a young crowd but everyone is pretty nice & we were able to walk in on a busy night & get a table fast. They do require a $10 minimum if you are going to use a credit/debit card which us understandable considering that they mostly sell Miller High Life for two bucks. The location is one of the best for a bar in SLC. Next to plenty of cheap late night restaurants and other bars. read more

There are good bars and then there are those that instantly make you feel like a local. Couldn't have had a greater introduction to SLC--a beer and a shot for $5, and the atmosphere is included. This isn't a fancy place, but it's the kind of place you WILL want to go if you want a real taste of the city. read more
