Best dive in the SLC. Cheap drinks, great service, and next level people watching in the Mormon Mafia's backyard. Ask for Janell. read more

Great Night for Karaoke on Sundays! The service is great as well! Pretty mixed crowd which made me feel comfortable and relaxed.

Love this place. Just super casual and laid back bar. Bring cash though as it's cash only. And you can bring in your own food like from Crown Burger next door. read more

Pretty fun dive bar that I always drink free here because it's a cash only bar and I'm an Amex girl! Yeah I have cool friends. Drinks r cheap and do it brings in the crowds. Hard to get a booth on the weekends but fun to play board games! Cool pool tables. Unique people of all ages. Cool patio but it gets too smoky. Fun place for a change of scenery. read more

Cheap. Dirty. Loud. Crowded. Cheap. This dirty hipster palace holds a special place in my heart, and IMO is one of the special establishments in downtown salt lake I hope never dies. This place is more fun if it's not the first stop of your night. If you're going on a weekend night, you will have to elbow your way to the bar to order and possibly even just to stand. They now have a back patio that has a lot more space, I don't know if it's new or I just never noticed it for the past several years. Cash only here. $2 Miller tall boys, yes please! And there is always something interesting going on in the bathroom. Stay golden. read more

Top tier dive bar. Cheap drinks, cool jukebox, nice vibes. The bartenders are always friendly and the patrons are willing to share the pool tables. One of our favorites. read more

Cheap drinks. I mean. Super cheap drinks. It's a cash bar so bring some if you want to join in on the action. There's an ATM machine in case you need it. We sat right by the door and people watching here is so fun. There's a lot going on or maybe it's a small bar, but they managed to put a pool table, a live band, and a bunch of people! The band playing was a little weird, but they brought in a nice crowd supporting the guy. read more

This bar is the type you'd come here to sit, drink, chill, chat and play pool. It felt like an old fashion style bar and had a unique social vibe. They have a small patio which I assume it is still open during winter. The booths in front of the bar fit around six people. read more

Great dive bar. Cozy. Cheap. There's like a fireplace you can sit by and contemplate... idk... stuff? life? Gosh. But really we had three beers for $12 and that's the real highlight. read more

I arrived at midnight on a Friday and it was pretty busy so obviously I was going to have to wait to order. Forty three minutes later, one of the bartenders finally spoke to me. I had been seated at the bar, cash visibly in hand and trying to catch someone's attention, the entire time. Multiple other patrons were served before me. This is not acceptable. After last call I went to the restroom to wash my hands and the faucet wasn't working. How long had it been broken? Nobody knows, but every dude who pissed had to walk out with dirty hands. I know it's a dive bar but "local color" isn't supposed to include lack of basic hygiene. I went out to the bar to try and get an ice cube for a field expedient hand wash (you just rub the ice over your hands and then dry them on your pants, it's no substitute for soap but I had some dried beer I wanted to get rid of) and instead of listening to my "could I just have a single ice cube, please?" the bartender just saw that I was looking his direction and assumed I wanted a glass of water. Luckily it came with ice, but still. Holy crap. Just listen for half a second. I've only had worse service once in my life. I do not recommend giving this place a shot -- there are plenty of other decent bars nearby. read more

I'm surprised I'm leaving a bad review somewhere, this is my first. As I was standing by my group (who were all sitting down at the time), I pulled down my mask to sip my drink. The bartender then shouts, "PUT YOUR "F**KING MASK ON." I calmly reply with, "I'm drinking, so is everyone else here - what am I doing differently? I don't understand the rules." That upsets her, she then proceeds to yell, "YOU HAVE TO BE SITTING DOWN WHILE YOU DRINK." I then pull up my mask, and start walking out the door. Here's where things get outrageous: I kid you not, as I'm leaving she shouts, "BYE B*TCH." Wow... you're really so upset that you're name calling? If she were to have simply said, "Hey, you need to have a mask on at all times while standing." Great. I would've happily complied and spent my night there. It's unfortunate things were handled things so poorly. read more

The Twilite Lounge is a blast from the past and offers something for everyone. Don't knock it, until you have tried the 32 oz miller highlife (sorry people, those are not 40z). It's a very cool and trendy watering hole - serving people since 1947. The crowd varies but this place is full of main street regulars, working class stiffs, and tight-pant hipsters as someone put it. I dig all the patrons and the pretty ladies that frequent here. I like their unique dress styles, revealing tattoos, and one of a kind smiles. Tip: Cash only. The PBR here is cheap and you can get a beer for $1.50. Twilite also has a couple of micro brews on tap, a pool table and a jukebox. The patio in front is always full of smokers. So if you mind cigarette smoke, chances are, you might not like this place. Personally, I really like the old school booths, the small tables and the fireplace in the back. I like that this place is kinda dark and offers a let's-get-grimy-with-it but let's keep it cool atmosphere. read more

Great place to relax with a friend. Just bring cash, but ATM at the back. No pretense, no cover, super chill, outdoor bench,. Anybody and everybody. read more

This place is dope! I don't know what all of these negative review people are smoking. The staff has been nothing but polite and professional. Ya it's cash only, but they have an ATM and the fee is only $1. Big whoop. Good music, good atmosphere, good people, good times. read more

Twilite - This is 1 of 2 pool tables. Bar area is packed! That's how I like it. Lively with good vibes. - Lounges Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Make something heroic with your cheap liquor and the revolutionary brilliance of a cozy fireplace. Twilite, lives up to SLC's legacy of unflinching dive bars lost in time. Another fine example of a place where numerous locals choose to destroy themselves. Its that simple. PS. For you early AM, and day drinkers, this is the filthy beast you must visit. Cheers Margaret read more

Twilite Lounge looks sketchy, has a sketchy name, and attracts sketchy people. However, It's not too bad if you have an open mind! I've only been here once and it was an interesting experience. I think almost everybody I saw there was a regular. Nobody was really interacting with each other, they all kind of sat there in a zombie-like state. The bar area is big enough for a group of people and there is enough seating throughout the rest of the "lounge" area. Still, Twilite gives off a creepy vibe with low lighting and old furniture. Definitely don't go here if you're looking to party it up Vegas style. It's dive-y atmosphere almost resembles a biker bar. If you have a good group of people, there is some potential for a fun time. I suppose I give it 3 stars because sometimes it's nice to just kick it with some hobos. Find Me In: Jeans and a t-shirt. Dress up more than that and you're getting sketchy looks as well. read more

A dive bar without any soul, Twilite Lounge will make you feel like you've traveled back in time to play in your grandparents' dated basement, in large part because you're surrounded by children. Very, very cool children, perhaps, but my point is that the actual grandpas have left the building in search of greener pastures. For me, geriatrics aren't a necessity when drinking the night away, however, I do prefer a crowd that's a little more heterogeneous. If you're looking for a clubhouse for hipsters, with Twilite Lounge you've hit the mother lode. I was bored. read more

This isn't the best dive bar west of the missisipp. This isn't the best dive bar east of San Diego. This is the best dive bar. Go ahead, try and prove me wrong and have a great time. read more

Affordable close to home local and regular crowds Space for smoking, some pool, booths, tables, and the bar. Cash only. remember remember... cash only. read more

The odd bar that does it right. Quick service for being busy, good people and cash only. The ATM only charges a $1 service fee

I like this place... FREE Juke Box... how great is that? ITS FREE! Cheap beer, cheap pool, no longer smoky... but here's the catch. There's usually a lot of mean hipsters in there. Which is fine, I like hipsters, but sometimes the ones at twilite are mean. I don't like mean hipsters. I like nice hipsters. read more

I really enjoyed this bar. It is unlike any I've seen in my life let alone Salt Lake City. The place is full with comfort seating. They have beautiful chandlers that give the place a nice romantic vibe. Lights are very low and depending on where you chose to sit, you are for the most part secluded in your own area. Which is nice for a date or time with a friend. The seating is incredible. I sat in a really nice booth that was antique feeling. The staff was friendly and helpful. Probably my favorite bar in Utah thus far. read more

This is a great little dive of a bar, with super cheap drinks and plenty of diverse patrons to people watch. On any given night it's packed full of hipsters, old regulars, and sports fans looking to watch a game. I come for the cheap shots of whiskey and tall PBR's and stay for the drama that is sure to unfold after people get a few drinks in them. Never a dull moment here. That patio out front is always packed with smokers, so if you mind ciggarette smoke, you should probably stay inside. Twilite has also become the unofficial after spot for the Twilight Concert series. It is literally packed on Thursday nights during the summer. The Chow Truck also comes by every Thursday during the Summer at about 11pm to feed the masses. My favorite thing about this bar is their retro photobooth. Pretty much the cutest thing ever. read more

Twilite is a cute dive bar in downtown. Last night was my first visit and I must admit it is perfectly flawed. There is no glitz or glam about this place, but it is a fun place to meet up with friends for drinks, pool and chats. The bartenders are friendly and the patrons are really chill. The juke box is FREE and the drinks are sensible. Twilite has become a hot spot for hipsters so if you hate us you will hate this place. We sat out front sipping our beverages, smoked and chatted. I love a place that is low key and Twilite delivered last night. I will go back. read more

This place is right on the edge of divey, and too divey. I'd say it's a place for regulars because we felt like they knew everyone but us. Lots of people staring and some off putting personalities. The bar tender fit in with the divey attitude, not really bad but also not really friendly. Very matter of fact and that mean kinda old woman whit that you can only get in a place like that. The whole experience was hard to describe, sounds more negative then I want it to while I write it. It's cash only but the ATM is one dollar. Drinks are very cheap which is probably why this is a three. Odd experience, wouldn't take it back but also not sure I'll return back anytime soon. read more

I don't know everyone seems to be hating. I don't mind dive bars but I actually liked Twilite! it wasn't the most ghetto bar I've ever been in and the crowd seemed pretty nice! The bartenders took good care of us (once I figured out which part of the bar got the most attention.) Drinks weren't badly priced and theres pool tables, booths and a smoking section. With Twilite what you see is what you get! I'll take that over the trendy over priced bars in the area! read more

This bar is great (during the day) drinks are cheap, free pool, and a cigarette machine... But go anything after 9 pm. Don't expect to even get the slightest bit of attention. My wife and I drove up from Lehi one night just to have some drinks with a buddy. Waited at the bar for 35 minutes and had absolutely no luck getting a drink.. Ended up leaving before we could even get a beer. Come during the day, staff is friendly and attentive and you won't have to wait an hour for a drink read more

Cash only! Very affordable hipster bar. It can get very crowded after 11. The place hasn't been remodeled since 1947 so don't bring any of your more classy friends here. They won't like it. read more

Love this place. Friendly bartenders and cheap drinks. Super chill vibe. Always have a good time here.

Simply the best bar on gods green earth. ! What else to say ? Staff , awesome ! Location , yes !

Cool little dive bar, photo booth, patrons are tolerable. Just be aware that Twilite is a CASH ONLY BAR and their ATM charges you a rediculous withdrawl fee. read more

I love this bar, probably one of my favorites in Salt Lake City. The drinks are reasonably priced (although, they only take cash but have an ATM on site). They have some pool tables and a Pac Man game. It's a pretty small bar, the whole vibe of the place reminds me of Twin Peaks. It's a popular spot but every time I've been it's never been too crowded to find a seat. read more

Party of 3 stopped in tonight after dinner at HSL. Tried chatting with the bartenders as it had been over 20 years since being here. One bartender with longer hair was very nice and cordial. Unfortunately, the other one, John, was entirely rude, dismissive and offensive. He accused us of being too intoxicated, continuously stated it was a cash bar (there's a very large sign indicating this and we had cash) and ultimately, was really rude. He actually served me a drink and then took it away. I'm seriously appalled and disgusted with how we were treated and I will never come back here. I've never been treated this way at a bar, even when I was in my 20's and likely actually was too intoxicated to be served. There were clearly other people there that were inebriated and willing to admit so (we talked to many outside). It felt more like we didn't fit in to the hipster vibe or whatever vibe this place is trying to attain and they didn't want our business. We previously came here during the winter, played pool and had a nice evening, but with the treatment from John, I don't ever want to come back here nor recommend it to others. Go to Chakra Lounge or Cheers To You for a good dive bar with pool and friendly, non-judgmental people. read more

Lots of people love the Pacific Northwest and dream of moving there. If you are one of those people, you will probably like this bar and disagree with this review. I am not one of those people at all. I spent six years in the Northwest, and I am pretty happy that I am no longer there. Being at Twilite gives me weird flashbacks from that era, and particularly from not-so-good nights at a dive by where I used to live. Last time I went to Twilite I could only handle the Portland wannabe vibe for one beer. read more

Dive Dive Dive! Not a bad setup, nice chill area in the back to sit and play pool. However, every time I have been here whoever the bartender may be has just an unacceptable attitude. Don't you work for tips? why are you rolling your eyes when I ask for a drink? I understand that happening once or twice of course, but I'm talking 4 or 5 seperate times with different bartenders. Get a grip and show some customer service! read more

Terrible service and disgusting environment. I would not trust the drinks nor the cleanliness of their glassware. Choose any other bar in SLC read more

What a dump! I can let go of the shabby stools and tables, as well as the construction underway, but when your seemingly sick bartender rubbed her nose before taking your ID, turned around and proceeded to sneeze and cough while checking it, then poured you a beer without washing her hands, that's when and where I draw the line. And a pint of beer, served in a chalice, was no where near the size of a pint (trust me, I drink daily and own several glasswares of all sizes), although it was only 3$ in the afternoon. It's a wonder this place stays alive. read more

I really liked this place - lots of character. Younger, alternative crowd. One could feel out of place without tattoos, piercings, vintage clothing, etc, but I liked the vibe. Live music was great. read more

It's dark, it's dingy, it smells like smoke, and it's a cash only bar. I only come here when it is a request from my friends - it just isn't my favorite bar. I can't explain it.. it's the vibe from all of the people in there.. like I am just not cool enough (whatever that means) to be there or terrified of who I might run into? Meh who knows. Oh well, the bartender was a clever man with helping me solve my Mickey's riddles.. still super impressed sir. read more

The bar is ok, but I don't know what is wrong with the bartenders. I ordered a gin and tonic, it was alright, no problem. I left a tip for the drink. Went back to order another. The bartender gave me what was obviously and vodka tonic. I told the bartender and asked if he wouldn't mind replacing it. He looked at me for 3 seconds, told me that it WAS a gin and tonic, and then walked away and refused to talk to me the rest of the night. With these kind of bartenders, who needs enemies? They will happily treat you like an idiot after charging you money. read more
