    If there's an area I'm not allowed to walk though, perhaps put up a sign or a gate that says so. I would rather not get threatened to be kicked out after walking through twice. Again, I am not even hanging out in. I'm merely passing through to get back and forth to my seat. I'm trying to have a good night, not be harassed by an old man for existing in a concert venue. I'm already on edge as a young woman at this venue, and the employees were incredibly unhelpful. The previous show I went to, a different older man yelled at me for taking a photo. How the heck am I supposed to enjoy myself here if I can't do anything? At least I got to see my favorite artist up close.

    I've never been here before, and was I pleasantly surprised, and very impressed. I like the idea of a smaller venue for a more intimate setting. You can actually see the artist performing and the sound wasn't so deafening that you need to get hearing aids after the show. I especially like how the rows of seats are just a little bit (slightly) staggered so that if you are sitting behind a tall person you can at least see better, that is until everyone stands up, as in the case tonight. I received a birthday present to see Melissa Ethridge here, and was pleasantly surprised on both the venue and the performance. I've seen her in concert several times, and I have to say this it the best performance and venue I've see her at. There are two nice size parking lots to park your vehicle, and two entrances, but at each entrance you will have your coolers, and bags searched. I didn't care, I knew they would be doing this, so I just left mine in the car. Prices are steep at the concession stand, especially beer and spirits. Oh and they check your I.D. at the gate. If you are over 21 they will give you a colored wrist band, which makes the lines move faster. Also, you can order online for no waiting, just walk up to the online order window and Wallah extra fast service. There is general seating on the grassy area (behind the chairs) if you want to sprawl out on your blanket. I'm glad we had actual seats. Sitting for hours without back support makes my back grumpy, and my knees thank me. There are signs everywhere saying no camera's, and I was going to obey the rules. However, when Melissa came out on stage every one took out their camera and starting taking pictures...and so did I. Great venue for intimate performances. I need to find out if they have a season pass. So many good concerts coming up. Now go break a leg.

    Nice place. We came to watch Air Supply and were impressed with the venue. This was our 1st time at the Sandy amphitheater, and I was thrilled to see that it wasn't all grass. Also, liking a good amphitheater, it wasn't too large of a venue, either. Pro tip: Pretty much no matter where you sit, you'll be in the sun for the 1st little while. Bring an umbrella if you don't want to get sunburned. Their food options are limited in general, but better than most amphitheaters I have been to. They also serve alcohol in the premises.

    This is a great little venue for concerts and other things. I've seen three different performances here now. It's like a tiny Red Butte. They have a small concession with drinks and a few snacks. I believe you can bring in your own goodies because I've never got checked at the entrance. The sunset view is amazing here. They do a lot of free events. Parking is easy and you don't have to pay for it.

    They are awesome

    My first visit. I don't know why I've never been here. We had so much fun seeing the the "Dead South". This venue is so beautiful, quaint with all the amenities. You like beer? You got it. Mixed drinks? Yup. Every seat is the best seat. Hey you want to picnic? Lots of grass! Plenty of security around. Just make sure you come early to secure a parking spot. Other than that, it's an amazing place to hang.

    Shrek the Musical! From the lawn seats. Bring a blanket and cooler!

    First time here and I was really impressed! We saw Shrek the Musical and my daughter had a great time. We've seen Shrek before by a different production and at a different location and I definitely prefer the Sandy City Amphitheater as a venue. I don't believe there is a bad seat in the house. We could see the stage, the mountains, and the valley. The views are great!. We had grass seats and brought blankets and food and let the kids run around during intermition. *** They allow outside food and drinks, so pack a cooler!

But I wanted a drink and was willing to take the risk, and I'm glad I did, because it was nothing like I imagined. Bartender was friendly and helpful. There was a decent amount of people watching the soccer game on tv, we were all cheering for Colombia, but then they lost, so most of them cleared out. Vibe kinda died after that. But nonetheless I had a great time, and I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere. Plus 6$ mules and .50 cent pool is hard to beat. I guess they serve food but I don't know how good it is. Only downside is that's there's just one toilet, luckily I didn't have to wait to use it while I was there.

Drinks are cheap and so are their Hennessy shots at $7 each! Plenty of seating available, but everyone seems to congregate at the bar. I soon found that the bartender is such a hoot and so friendly! There's a couple of pool tables. The bathrooms are a little "shocking." I was looking for the women's restroom and when the lights automatically turned on, I saw lots of 70s models posing nude. So this is what regular bodies look like before the surgery era! The men's restroom was more classy with people smoking cigars.

    Sad to say, I'm not quite sure what all the hype is about…read more We had to sit outside because the indoor dining room was fully booked for the show. The night actually started off great. Our server was funny, personable, and attentive, especially when it came to drinks and refills. Things started going downhill when I received my entree, the Poor Man's Truffle. Unfortunately, the only way this dish lived up to its name was in how little the supposedly high-quality ingredients seemed to come through. The dish itself is fairly simple, which normally isn't a bad thing when the ingredients are meant to speak for themselves. With Belper Knolle, truffle oil, pistachio pesto, tomato, fennel, and arugula, I expected something flavorful and well balanced. Instead, the entire dish tasted incredibly mild. Belper Knolle is typically a bold, salty, peppery cheese, and I could visibly see the black pepper around the edges of the thin shavings, but the flavor barely registered. I also couldn't taste the truffle oil at all. There was visible oil pooling at the bottom of the plate, but no noticeable truffle flavor. I understand pistachio pesto tends to be more subtle than a traditional basil pesto, but altogether, this dish just fell completely flat for me. The presentation didn't help either. It looked more like something that had been scooped from a pan and dropped onto the plate than a thoughtfully plated entree. When a dish misses both on flavor and presentation, that's when it becomes a real disappointment for me. I will say the gnocchi itself was cooked well, which was one of the few positives. I also tried the burger, and it was significantly better than my pasta. However, the very small sprinkle of bacon was a little baffling considering it was an additional upcharge. Where the night really went downhill was at the end of the meal. I had been excited to try the beignets because that isn't a dessert I see on menus very often. Our entree plates were cleared, and then we waited about 20 minutes before our server returned and asked whether we were ready for the check. Dessert wasn't mentioned, and by that point our table was tired of waiting, so we decided to skip it and asked for our checks. Then our server disappeared for another 30 minutes. We eventually had to flag down a hostess who was seating another table and let her know that we were still waiting for the check. About five minutes later, our server finally returned and casually explained how "crazy" the night had gotten because of the show. I understand restaurants get busy, but the apology felt very dismissive after we had waited nearly an hour from finishing our entrees to finally receiving the check. It genuinely felt like our table had simply been forgotten. I also want to add that I tend to hold restaurants like this to a higher standard. I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for." If I'm eating at a fast-food spot or somewhere inexpensive and casual, there's only so much room to complain. But when a restaurant has prices like this, highlights premium ingredients on the menu, and presents itself as a more elevated dining experience, I think that naturally opens the food and service up to more criticism. At that price point, I expect the quality, presentation, and overall experience to reflect what I'm paying for. My final takeaway is that maybe I ordered the wrong dish. Pesto is one of my favorite things, so I almost always want to give a pesto-based dish a try. Unfortunately, Prohibition's pesto gnocchi was not it for me. I also saw that they describe themselves as a scratch kitchen using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, which I don't necessarily doubt. What confused me was how so many ingredients that should have distinct flavors somehow tasted like almost nothing. If your goal is interesting drinks and a fun show, this is probably still a place worth considering. Since we sat outside, I can't speak on the show part, but it seems to be a big hit. Food-wise, though, it missed the mark for me.

    This bar is near and dear to my heart. They have an amazing menu that includes a full vegan menu,…read morethey have a great beer selection, the staff is always ridiculously friendly, the prices are reasonable, there's a beautiful patio, and karaoke 3 days a week! What else could anyone want? My boyfriend and I frequently come in for karaoke. They do karaoke Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. The karaoke DJs are really great and if you're new, they always go out of their way to get you in the line up fast. So don't hesitate to sign up if you see a big list! For all you know, it's the same regulars that have filled the whole list but the DJ would love to get a fresh face on the stage and you will most surely get bumped up the list. One of the benefits of having a real karaoke DJ and not using one of the online services. They're doing more and more poker tournaments. I want to say that it's Sunday but honestly, I would call and ask about it if you're interested because it seems like they add a new poker tournament every week. Wednesday night, they do $1 wings. You can split the wings among different flavors. It's a great night to come for a cheap meal. Also the draft steins are super cheap. I can't remember the actual price but they're less than $10, I want to say they're $7 or something. If you're looking for high point beer, I wouldn't go off the menu. I would ask the bartender what they have in stock. It frequently changes and its hard to keep the paper menu updated. I have literally never had a bad meal here. So it's a great value if you're in the area and just looking for some affordable bar food. They also have a really great brunch which I feel like is super underrated. I usually do their avocado toast and a beer. My only complaint? The pool table. Yes they have a pool table but it was such an after thought, you can barely make a shot because there's so many things in the way and the floor is uneven. I'm not a pool shark or anything so it's fine to me but I could see how a regular pool player might get annoyed. Honestly I feel like it's more entertaining to play on this comically arranged pool table. I've played pool in way smaller rooms with fewer impediments, lol. I thought long and hard about whether this place should be classified as a dive bar, and honestly, the quality of the menu makes me think it's not. I have never been to a dive bar with a vegan menu. I could see how walking in you might get that impression but they don't tolerate too much rowdiness. In fact, my loud friend who tends to yell when he drinks because he's been to too many metal shows and is hard of hearing couldn't get in. The bouncer said he was too drunk. They have a school pretty close by so the bouncers are pretty discerning. That said, this is one of the few bars where I feel really safe as a woman, and trust me, it's filled with thirsty guys who will happily pick you up.

    I don't think that people actually come here for the food. The patio was hopping, so I am pretty…read moresure it is for the ambiance. They had lots of "bar" games like pool, darts, etc. And later the same night there was karaoke. What I did like is that they didn't have a problem splitting up the check for our table. They took our credit cards up front so they could keep a tab for each of us. However, the person who took our information and the person who took are order were not the same people. That in itself wasn't a problem, but when we went to order our actual food they could only find the information for one person in our party despite taking the credit card info for 3 of us. I am not really sure what the others in my group ordered, but I do know that I did NOT like what I ordered. First, it said on their Facebook page that the Wagyu burger was on special for the night, but they did not honor that. So, I decided on the rosemary garlic burger instead with a sub of onion rings instead of fries. Now... the burger looks delicious in the photo and it was juicy and the veggies nice and fresh. However, it did not taste good. It was an overwhelming flavor of rosemary and raw garlic and I did not enjoy it at all. Plus, my onion rings were burnt. Even my kiddo at home who eats most everything did not like this burger. My daughter ordered the Alamo brownie for dessert and it was supposed to come with caramel, chocolate sauce, and ice cream, but hers only came with chocolate sauce. The server may have been new and she said it came with a choice of one of those things and not all three. $10 for a brownie with chocolate sauce was robbery! The long and short of it, collectively we did not enjoy the food here and do not plan to come back again. There are too many other good bars with good food to waste our time and money here.
