Why does this place smell like mold? I'm not some super classy guy where I need the most attractive servers, the toppest of shelf drinks, 5 star chefs. All I want is for you to clean your establishment please. Hell, it doesn't even have to be spotless, just make it SMELL like my pet canary isn't going to die due to lack of oxygen. That's all I ask. Anyway, it doesn't matter what else happened here, do you want to go somewhere that smells like a flooded basement? read more

My favorite bar in town, hands down!!! Super cozy, super comfortable, no pretension whatsoever!!! I don't know who these other people are who've given this great spot bad reviews-I love it!!! read more

My brother and His boyfriend introduced me to this place. Free Jukebox and cheap beer = Happy People. I wanna say this bar gets a lot of "hipsters" but overall its pretty chill. My favorite spot is the smoking area cause i usually twerk and smoke and then take my ass home. read more

Do I give Twilite 2 stars for being such a dive I don't want to use their bathrooms, talk to their staff, or sit on their furniture or do I give Twilite 5 stars for realizing they are a dive & trying to keep in real? I've settled on 3. They do have a free juke box which is pretty awesome if you are there in the middle of the day on a weekday and can actually hear the song you played. They aren't next to the police station anymore which is an advantage however the staff is totally rude. read more

Just wanted to defend the pretty bartenders referred to in an earlier review. Good looking nice people who do a great job making scrumptious cocktails, all the time fending off off colored advances from some unruley patrons. They bust their butts on a regular basis trying to keep up with the drink orders. Visit www.brobible.com/life/article/10-things-bartenders-hate read more

Best neighborhood bar to grab a drink. All cash so come prepared. Super laid back without all the typical bar drama. Staff are friendly and make you feel right at home. read more

Cheep beer and drinks. Your not going to get a Manhattan here. It's a good dive bar with a young group of people. Best jukebox in town and it's free, from Lou reed to Flaming lips. read more

Oh, Twilight... you are silly little place! This is a really fun dive with cheap drinks! Love the juke box and the photo booth to capture those drunken memories we would all like to forget. AND, they sell 40oz. What is better than drinking a crappy, giant, beer at a total hole-in-the-wall? I just don't know... read more

It smells bad but so do the hipsters who don't wear deodorant. The drinks are cheap but so are the bartenders. Show up with low expectations and you wont be disappointed. read more

Super dive-y, but the bartenders are always nice. Cash only, which is fine. The drinks are great, but they don't have any ciders, or really the kind of drink variety that I would have liked. I asked for 4 different beers, and asked if they have any ciders, and they didn't have anything I asked for. read more

Free juke box, sweet decor! Awesome vibe, the bar tenders are bad ass, cheap drinks, cash only, the atm only charges a dollar. I love it.

One of the oldest Dive bars in town, Twilite is notable for it's free, old-school jukebox, its photo booth ($3), and it's cash-only policy. This is sort of a moody, downbeat place at times, and is best visited with a few friends in tow. Still, you can meet interesting people here on a given night. In summer, it's always packed on Thursday nights, after the Twilight Concerts end at 10PM. read more

When you think of dive bars this is the place you should think of. I can only imagine the shit that has gone down here over the years. The sign on the wall promoting color tv's made me chuckle. It is one of the last drinking establishments I've been in where they have a ciggerette machine. read more

It's a total hipster dive bar out on its own. It is definitely worth going to. Good beer, free jukebox, warm fire, 1 dollar atm (cash only), free pool before 7pm and then it is 50 cents. read more

This is my favorite bar in Salt Lake City. I love all the bartenders so much!

Best neighborhood bar ever! All the bartender are awesome.. this place is like a second home.. free jukebox, nice pool tables, great service.. read more

Whether you're looking for a place to grab a beer after work or a place to hang out on the weekends, Twilite Lounge is the place to be. Free juke box and cheap pool tables. read more

Good dive bar. Cash only here but drinks are decently priced. The free pool during the day is pretty awesome. The place is dark and the furnishings are outdated but that just adds to the dive bar feel, right? Overall decent place to grab a drink. read more

Great outdated decor and furniture. I love it. Great bartenders and drinks. Prices are good. It's close enough to The U that there's a small populous of pretentious college kids that clog the area immediately inside the door. For some reason drunk college girls and the guys who are attempting to get them drunker don't realize that there's much more bar past the entryway of the establishment. read more

$3 Olympias. Heaven! Total dive bar but such a diverse crowed and cheep drinks. I once spent $36 on the photo booth alone one night. Lets just say it was a good night. Lots of seating and the bar tender is nice. read more

This bar is fucking rad! Great place to get a cheap drink and hang with friends

Twilite is the first bar I choose when I am looking for a great time. And it is always a blast here. Great pool and the drinks are not too expensive. I love this bar, it's my favorite!!! read more

this bar has had a part in the chronicles of the last 18 years of my life. never felt more at home in another bar. they have cheap and not cheap drinks, the bartenders are sexy as hell and friendly as long as you're not a shmuck. best juke box in town by far, and best dive bar in town by miles, and if u wanna seriously get schooled in pool, show up. read more

Twilite - this juke ain't no fluke - Lounges Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

This place is what it is. A dive bar. When I went the people were very friendly. A mix of locals, regulars & first timers. The beer was cold, the jukebox was FREE!... My bartender nelly?... Was really really nice. I'm glad I went. read more

I have been a customer of Twilite lounge for over 40 years since it was located on 200 South State Street.. Back in the late 60's and 70's twilite was frequented by many Police Officers (of which I was one). After moving east on 200 South I was a regular customer with many of my friends.. Then along comes John (bartender). Absolute rudest bartender I have come across in my entire life.. Twilite lists hours as being open until 2AM. Myself and friends were regulars every Saturday Night for several years, until John came along.. John is Rude every time you order a drink and actually loves to refuse service at last call. Then if he does serve you or you are served by another bartender John wants you to chug it down and leave. I hope management knows that John is costing their business customers with his attitude and laziness. If Management is wondering why many customers are leaving early it is so they can go to a club that treats you well until the legal closing time (2AM). Myself and my friends have found a new home for our fun and when John departs we may will return. My compliments to the Owner of twilite for being in business over 50 years... read more

The term "dive bar" gets thrown around quite a bit in the reviews of this place and often it is merited. If you're looking for a place to go out without getting dressed to go out, look no further. You'll also save some money. The one thing this place has that most dive bars do not is a crowd, although on a Friday or Saturday night I haven't found a bar in town that doesn't. Usually not having to wait for a drink and easily finding a place to sit are two of the bigger draws for me when it comes to my dives but I'll just accept Twilite for what it is - the closest thing to a dive bar I'm likely to get. I'll take it. read more

I came here expecting a chill time, and got treated with total disrespect. I ordered two pints and waited ten minutes or more for them. Two beers. And to top it off, they are CASH ONLY. So don't come with a debit card! Lol. read more

I looked this place up for a cool, mellow, dive to go on a Friday night. It is in a great central location and easy to get to from downtown. I arrived, right, a very nice girl with black hair served me a drink, I think a Bulliet and soda with lemon, it was 4 $. I enjoyed my drink and checked the place out. I played a few songs on the jukebox which was cheap( or I thought) and talk to some interesting people. These people tell me that the jukebox is actually free! Then why the hell does it accept money!!!!! I feel as if I was stolen from! But, things got worse! As my drink emptied I returned to the bar for a refill, ( to drown the feeling of being raped by the owners of the jukebox) I order the same Bulliet and soda with a lemon from another bartender with ( excuse me for saying) an enormous nose and rimmed glasses, and he charges me 5$ !!!!! what the hell!!! I ask him WHY it was more and he tells me that it was 5$ take it or leave!! So I payed the extra dollar, drank my drink, and left, NEVER to return. read more

Wow I truly am impressed. I honestly never thought I'd find a bar like this, the format has changed hipster to punk. It doesn't matter to me because im just here to steal your women anyways. Also there's this lady that works there. Again wow! She almost has an ass and when she puts in tbe squats to get it, you best believe its gonna receive some tongue action!! Anyways this place gets 4 out of 5 stars because I convinced this girl to sleep with me as long as i bought her a drink. But when i bought her the drink she said "My boyfriend wouldnt be comfortable with us having sex." So I told her "It's was okay if he watches!" She proceeded to slap me and said "If you stopped showing me your penis everytime I winked at you, my mom could have kept her job at the factory!" Other than that, Twat is a pretty bitchin' place with some pretty slutty average looking girls. One last thing I've overheard at least 5 groups of kids talking about how evil Putin is while drinking PBR. He still owns 2% of PBR's stock. read more

This is basically the best most fun bar in slc. The pool, the bartenders, the people, forget about it. So good...

Twilite Lounge, to me, is the best spot in town for the younger crowd. The Bartenders (especially John and Connor, shout out to those guys), are kick ass and do their best when it's packed. If you're not a fan of cigarettes or having a bunch of drunk 20 year olds bump into you on their way to the bar/patio, maybe steer clear or head out before 11pm when it really gets busy. This bar, unlike most of the other bars around, get poppin' on weeknights! Anything after 10:30-11 you're bound to be sifting through people to get to either side of the bar. A great dive bar filled with locals and regulars! read more

Hot bartenders, cheap drinks and a rad crowd, very diverse for Salt Lake. I didn't feel like I was in Salt Lake when I went there. Contrary to a previous review I actually have had a Manhattan there and it was excellent. They've got a great cocktail menu. Great bar, definitely divey, but it had everything I could ever want. Cocktails and beer without the pompousness of a cocktail bar and lots of cool people. They don't have red bull though so don't ask. Oh and when I asked for a martini stirred they said James Bond has them shaken so thats what they do there. Made me laugh, and it was damn good and dirty. read more

My absolute favorite bar. Always a friendly crowd. Best bartenders in the valley. Free jukebox with an awesome, rotating selection. Cheap drinks. Nice pool tables free on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Perfect floor layout to accommodate large crowds. Motherfucking arcade table Pac-Man. A fireplace to cozy up to in the winter. Multiple TV's for your viewing pleasure. An ideal patio for smokers. Ten out of ten, most definitely! read more

I like the whole 80's feel of the bar. I don't like how it's overrun by hipsters. But Salt Lake is overrun by the two H's these days. Hipsters and Hobos. It's a cash only bar and I really felt like I went back in time. It also had some crazy old man who got to control the tv remote. He had it until 6 o'clock when they had to change the tv to KSL news. read more

LOVE this place, but if you're not looking for a dive bar it's probably not for you. Free pool on Wednesdays. Bunch of old timer regulars in the early evening around and it's not crowded. By 10pm or 11 on the weekends it's full of a bunch of 20-something hipsters. But amazing for some drinking and pool playing in the early-ish evening. CASH ONLY. read more

I just had the worst time at the twilite lounge. It's sad, because I've been a former patron for many years. My partner and I went to play a game of pool, and literally, got bum-rushed by a crowd of people. We saw a pool table was open, because there were no people around and there were balls scattered on the table. We put our money in and racked the balls. All of a sudden, a crowd of people came in and insisted that their balls had been racked all the while, and therefore, we had no right to be on the table. They started touching and engaging my boyfriend. They were saying my boyfriend touched one of the women in the group (who had touched him first). We left in a hurry, because they were very confrontational and I was afraid for my boyfriend. Sadly, I will never go to the Twilite lounge again, even though it reminds me of the good ol' days. Please control the clueless, sadistic idiots on the pool table! read more

If you enjoy rude bar tenders that yell at you from the other end of the bar to, "show me your ID or get the F&*% out of here," then this is the place for you! After playing pool for about 3 hrs with some friends, I went to the change machine (close to the front door) to get some quarters. I can hear someone yelling, "I need to see your ID" but assume some more college kids have just walked in (I am over 40). Then I hear it again and see that the bar tender, who is half-way across the bar at the other end is yelling at me. I explain that I've been there for 3 hrs and am just trying to get change, maybe she could help me. To which she replies, "Can't you see I'm kind of F*&%-ing busy down here? Show me your ID or get the F&$% out!" So I left this "Divebar," translation = sh*%hole, and will never be going back. I'm not sure how many laws they are breaking but will recommend that the police visit regularly and find out. They had one employee, tending bar with a line of 50 people backed up to order drinks, trying to check ID's of every person walking in, which was a steady flow at 9:30pm on a Saturday night. There is no way this one person could effectively check ID's. I'm sure she was frustrated, but rather than take it out on your cash-paying patrons (yes, cash only in 2014, another big plus!) maybe you should chat with management or ownership about getting you some help. read more
