    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.

    It's been a week, and I still cannot find enough words to say about this venue. From "A to Z"...it…read morewas absolutely amazing! By far, the easiest and most pleasurable I have found in Utah. 21+ IDs checked at the door, then another to scan tickets, zero issues if you have a small bag or snatchel to attend. Upon entering, you see the bar, restrooms, etc. The bar was nice. Shout out to my bartender (sorry, didn't get his name but I tried to tip him as such). It had been years since I'd had an appropriately mixed drink. Though I asked for a certain kind, they don't necessarily do that here, but they make do - and ask if it's okay beforehand. Trust me, I was rather too happy after drink two, so someone must be doing something right;+) If you are a smoker, there is an exit door right behind the bar and you are free to go outside and come back in. Bouncers at the door but they hand stamp you pretty good upon entering (took me two days to get it washed off completely...lol) so you're good to go . Bathrooms were clean (sorry zero photos when you gotta do business)... Initially was in "reserved seating" but we weren't really "reserved" (more G.A.) and besides I was dying to get closer to Cy. Solid show. Amazing venue. Wonderful time with my friends. Definitely want to hit this place up again very soon. Highly recommend!

    I saw the Fixx yesterday and it was a great show! The problem was that there is no air conditioning…read moreand it was very hot inside! There were no fans either.
