The best gay bar in SLC. Whenever I'm in SLC, I spend a lot of time here and its always different…read more During my most recent stay in town, I experienced the large venue as a weeknight drag show, a crazy busy Friday night with everyone dancing on their runway stage, a slower Saturday and a Cowboy/Rodeo themed Sunday. The crowd on the busier nights was mixed while the slower nights were mostly gay men. The bartenders are nice and do their best for Utah's strict alcohol laws. I do wish they served lighter beers like a Montucky or Tecate.

I've been a patron of Club Try-Angles for nearly 15 years. Admittedly I haven't been the most…read moreconsistent patron over the years, but in that time I've seen the club slowly, and seemingly very suddenly, devolve from a dive bar with some level of respect for its patrons to a dive bar that's as lost as the current set of bartenders it employs behind its well. Don't get me wrong, I love my local gay dive bar - the patio is prime real estate, the billiards and darts are in playing condition, the dance floor is just the right size to get lost in, and the community is the very definition - but it should not take 30 minutes to get a drink, no matter how cheap the drinks are and no matter how slow or busy the joint gets. The toiles should not be covered in the same shit stains from the day, let alone the weeks(!), before. The speakers should not be so loud that you cannot communicate with the bartender or the person sitting next to you. With that said, I would say Club Try-Angles is actually entering a new "gayday" the likes of which I've never seen - blame it on all the new development around Central 9th and along Harvey Milk Boulevard. The community is more diverse, the crowds are bigger, and the camaraderie is louder! All wonderful things, but things the bar is showing it's no longer in the condition to support. If this staple of the queer community is going to thrive into the next decade, or even survive the next few years, it's going to need more TLC than its currently getting. Small things, like utilizing both sets of patio doors, cleaning the bathrooms, and strategically turning down the music would go a long way in showing that Club Try-Angles cares for its community. Additionally, reorganizing the well to be more efficient would go a long way to improving the time it takes to get a drink. Bartenders should not be bumping into each other in order to make every. single. drink! In this time of growth and change, what I would hate more than ever is for another VC Firm to buy the bar out from under us and put up a parking lot. We deserve to have this space, and we deserve to have this space show up for and represent those of us who claim Pride!

I'm glad it's a place that can supports the dolls but the drinks are watered down, it's sticky everywhere, and the crowd leans young straight college students who are avoiding all the other rotted and predatory straight bars in Salt Lake. Service upstairs is slower because there's a lot of people ordering, service downstairs moves faster. The staff are kind but whoever is managing this place is out of their mind with the cover charge.

Only downside is you have to order at the bar (no table service), so I imagine on a more crowded night it might be harder/take longer to get drinks.

They have VIP areas where the bottle girls do the little signs and lights if you're looking to celebrate something. Fun vibes and I plan on coming back if there is another event I want to go too.

TL;DR: we loved it and will be back. The brunch was tasty and varied. Food quality was good and there was no problem with any of the items. From rib tips to salads to fruit, there is something for everyone. The cooks were friendly and eager to tout an all-new menu put together by JEFFIE. Unlimited servings with all of these offerings was the perfect way to sit out a hot Sunday, though if you prefer sun, the patio has umbrellas and outdoor seating. Decor is eclectic and interesting. Hopefully you get ALLI was your server -- her tales of living in New Orleans accents her personable and timely service. She was incredible and even tells jokes (I'm a sucker for a sense of humor). If you're wanting a drink from the bar, you're in luck -- these guys aren't afraid to make whatever you think you know, as well as stuff you didn't. One of the best selections of alcoholic drinks on a bar that I've seen locally. Ask MONEY what he likes and be m prepared for items such as a PB&J shot or "The Good Boy" (see photo), -- a Bloody Mary with Tajin, fried pickle and bacon. Start him off with a smile by saying "Go Raiders!". He was funny and interesting and a talented mixologist. A trio of musicians (Twisted Brother) was playing and provided fantastic music to groove to. I think a lot of people end up at the Green Pig next door because it's closest to the road but you'd kick yourself later for not going here, especially for brunch on Sundays. I'll be back regularly and hopefully you will too!

I will say that we we are avid AMF/Adios/Blue Long Island drinkers and to be quite honest it was the worst one I've ever tasted. Only way we were able to gag them down was to squeeze several limes in. I can only describe it as tasking like old hot dog water. The group that did emo night killed it tho and we'll for sure be seeing them again back home in Vegas.
