Saw The Killers here at a private show as part of the excellent Omniture Summit 2010 in and…read moreobviously enjoyed the special access of the show. Without that influencing my rating too much (a free, private Killers show is obviously a 5 Star rating), the venue stands out on its own pretty well and exceeded my expectations. Pros -Size: this place is huge and has a wide open standing-room area in front of an elevated stage as well as a cat-walk like elevated area that rings the floor. Provides lots of good viewing angles with few obstructions from the stage. The House of Blues comparison is accurate as far as feel, but the venue is far deeper. A little bit bigger than the Fillmore in SF. -Sound: good sound and light production. I heard the Killers loud and clear (and for several hours after) and my mind was blown a few times by swell light effects. Cons -Drinking Situation: this is Utah so I didn't expect a first-rate drinking experience and got about what I expected. I think this place is 18+ most times, so the bars are all on the second floor which created bottle necks and inconvenience if you wanted to be front and center at the stage. To compound that is the Utah alcohol laws that meter out your liquor at 1 oz. pours, wine at 5 oz pours and dumb-down the % in the beer. This also makes for slow service, and at $9 a pop for cocktails you're paying big city prices for kid-table drinks. (Also think about this when ordering anything which rightly should have more than 1 oz of booze in it. A martini in Utah is not a good idea.) All in though, this is more a critique of Utah's drinking regulations and so I can't rightly hold it against The Rail for doing their best in that administrative climate. -Location: it's literally on the wrong side of the tracks. Not sure where the cool going-out areas in SLC are, but Rail did not seem to be near one of them. Most of the city was well East of this location and it took a bit of a special effort to get here.

I like my music venues a little smaller, older, grittier than this. Kind of reminded me of House of…read moreBlues in LA (sorta gimmicky, contrived). But that's not to say this is a terrible location. The sound was decent. The main floor is your basic general admission free-for all, and there were couches, tables in the upstairs, balcony-ish area (wraps all around the venue) that had a lounge-ish feel. Overall, this spot doesn't really take away from the music, but doesn't really add to it either.

I recently came here for a show, and had a wonderful experience! I was a little worried about parking, but we got here on the later side - closer to 7/:715ish when the show started at 6:30pm and there was plenty of parking and no traffic at all. You're able to bring your own food, chairs, blankets, etc. into this venue, which is nice. You cannot bring in your own alcohol. You can also pay for a picnic dinner here too for pick up? So cool. They have various food tents around the venue as well. There were only a handful of areas to buy drinks, and they all had long lines, which is to be expected at a concert like this. Drinks are expensive, which is also to be expected. There were only two bathrooms that I saw within the venue, but you can come and go from the venue which is awesome, and you can use the bathrooms within Deer Valley Resort. I haven't been to a show recently that allowed re-entry so that is pretty cool. We snagged a spot all the way up in the back of the venue and could see the stage, but not super well. They have screens here but they're not huge. If you want a better spot I would suggest coming early. I was really impressed by the experience here. We stayed for the entire show and leaving wasn't really an issue. There was some traffic getting out, but it wasn't bad compared to other venues I've been to. Bring blankets or layers to bundle up, because it gets chilly when the sun goes down, even in the hottest part of the summer.

The venue is great for seeing bands that haven't blown up yet, and you can actually talk to them afterword. It's a pretty intimate experience. I saw Local Natives there back in the day and it remains one of the coolest music experiences I've had! A few FYI(s): the crowd trends young. Music is for everyone and I personally don't care if I'm the oldest person at a show, but it does feel like showing up to a party you haven't been invited to. The bathroom is terrifying and feels like someone will jump out of the locked closet with a chainsaw, but adds to the garage-esque aesthetic. I'd still take this bathroom over the urban lounge lol. In general I love that SLC has venues like this holding strong, and a safe place for kids to hang out and see live music.

No one told me that was how it worked. We waited and watched others sing three times and our turn was completely missed. We didn't understand why. The birthday girl got to sing at least, but we all had dedications ready and we didn't get to celebrate the way we had planned. My girl only turns 21 once and a karaoke night is what we had hoped for.

They had karaoke going on, and it was such a fun vibe! We didn't sing since there was a wait of about 20 songs from the same people singing over and over, but if there hadn't been a wait we definitely would've. The vibe was really lowkey and the crowd was into it so it seems like a great place to get on the mic if you are nervous. Seems like a good place to dance. They also have a pool table. They had canned Diet Coke, which I was very excited about. My friend had a lemon drop, and it was great!! The downside of the night was that the man DJing kept making a lot of weird sexual comments/adlibs while people were singing. It was a funny experience but also kinda overkill and annoying and killed the vibe for us. They do magic the gathering here on mondays and trivia night on tuesdays which I think would be cool to try. I would definitely go back and hopefully on a night with the same level of fun for karaoke but a different DJ.

The performers are absolutely incredible and clearly put so much time, energy, and heart into what they do. The bartenders have also consistently been awesome, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, my experiences with the door person have become increasingly troubling. On multiple separate occasions, I've noticed a very clear difference in the way he treats me and my more visibly gay, queer, and trans friends compared with straight friends who are standing literally right beside us. The interactions have felt noticeably less welcoming and, at times, openly disrespectful toward queer people. I understand being a door person requires some directness and boundaries, but that should not mean kindness and compassion are thrown out the window. For a bar that serves as an important space for the LGBTQ+ community, this is really disappointing. There aren't many queer-friendly places in this city, and it's frustrating to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome as soon as you enter the building because of the person responsible for greeting people at the door. I really hope management considers providing additional training around LGBTQ+ etiquette, inclusivity, and respectful treatment of guests. I'd also love to see more queer people represented among the staff, particularly at the door, or at minimum see a meaningful change in the way this particular employee interacts with queer patrons. After multiple separate negative experiences, I honestly have been contemplating not returning, which is unfortunate because I genuinely love the performers and have otherwise enjoyed this venue. I'm going to give it one more chance in the future, because I want to support the performers and the queer community here, but I hope things change. If you're queer and you have a bad interaction with an older white man with scraggly facial hair at the door, please know that you're not imagining it or necessarily doing something wrong. My experiences suggest that there is a real issue with the way some queer patrons are being treated.

But when I was invited to check it out with someone who actually can carry a tune, I was happy to go along. This is a dark, sort of divey place and it's a popular local hangout. Early in the evening, it was kind of quiet, but it got much busier as the night went on-and once karaoke really got going, the place was hopping. The crowd was generally supportive of each other-whether the performance was good or not-and the KJ kept things moving along with a good variety of song styles. He even inserted himself into the mix a few times and sang from the song booth. Service is friendly, although the servers don't come around frequently, so you might have better luck going to the bar to get a drink. But what they lack in speed they make up for in friendliness-everyone is welcome and it's a fun place to hang out and let loose a bit.
