My favorite residency at Soundwell is Syndicate, a monthly electronic show featuring a variety of local art vendors. It's a great space to dance and connect with community while supporting local! Some shows offer a full bar with liquor, but most offer only beer and seltzers, so be prepared to swing by their neighboring sister restaurant Studio for liquor and grub. I've attended an array of concerts here and always enjoy the quality of sound and how dynamic the space is for different vibes!

Parking can be found in the streets.

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 love the historic feel of this place. There's seating!! If you get there early enough there's theater style seating in addition to the standing room space. I loved having the option to sit or stand. There are two bars - one upstairs and one downstairs. I never had to wait long for drinks and the service was great. They have some snacks as well. Parking is available in the paid lot next to the venue or along the street, but it can definitely be limited so be prepared for that.

You get to park in a garage type area, they had a dedicated bathroom, and some basketball hoops with balls. Then, we were able to queue ahead of anyone else, just prior to doors opening. Worth the extra $$! The merch area was set up nicely, and the drinks and snacks area had plenty of space. The bar area is good, but could maybe do with a little more seating. Overall, we enjoyed the show, the staff was helpful, and the fans within the concert area were a godsend on a day with temps in the upper 90s. Would definitely see another show there, given the chance.

There's a stage, there's lots of standing room and, depending on the event, there might be chairs. I attended a massive bingo game here and we were squeezed in pretty tight, but it was a fun party, nonetheless. There are several bar areas, some of them on wheels and will move around the venue keeping people hydrated. My only real complaint is that there isn't much parking. It's not in the greatest part of town, so you'll have to walk a block or two-just go in a group and you'll be fine.

I did still make it to the venue other than trying to navigate the construction to get here. Yung gravy and the team were really chille and nice. Everyone was dressed up for Halloween which was so cool. The venue was good once you got inside but it definitely needs better air circulation because when you are on barricade all night there isnt a lot of wiggle room and people compressing on you as well. It got really hot as more people came into the venue. The sound was really really off it was hard to hear Yung Gravy sometimes due to overwhelming bass. Would I come here again? Maybe but ive been to way better venues that are set up a lot better and better quality sound.

While visiting Salt Lake City for a long weekend, my husband and I came to Red Butte Garden and…read moreArboretum to enjoy a lovely afternoon. We were looking to spend some time before we had an event that evening. It was a cool crisp afternoon, and the sun was shining. I think the thing I appreciated the most about this garden and arboretum was the sprawling space. There are many different loops and trails that you can take, some paved and some more natural. I enjoyed how they had different types of plants grouped or gathered together and the map they provided was extremely informative. This is definitely not an easy, walkable garden for individuals with limited mobility, with some of the hills being quite steep, but they are very clear about that on the visitor's map. Probably one of the nicer arboretums I have visited in the country and I would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.
