‘cause this isn’t happening at Outback, or Chilis or any other “restaurant”. (You get it).

I thought they finally did away with the reduced alcohol content on draught beers a year or 2 ago. National beer conglomerates finally got fed up with brewing 2% alc content just for the Utah market and said enough, and got their way (or so I was told by the van driver) Only odd local ordinance I've encountered is "no doubles allowed" as in a double bourbon, or yer spirit of choice. Besides that, downtown has been such a good time, that I'm seriously considering moving there for all the positives mentioned.

These posts are bizarre. I moved to SLC in 99 starting 8th grade. Not one of my friends asked if I was Mormon and I didn’t ask them. My best friend wasn’t Mormon but it didn’t matter to me. I was in team sports and only half were Mormon. I grew up in Cottonwood Heights and went to Brighton and Cottonwood HS. When I graduated I worked at The Mayan, see South Park, and our work around for the booze and appetizer law was free chips. Worked like a charm. The air quality is poor but it’s not as bad as California. If you like outdoor activities it can’t be beat. It’s been 20 years and it’s only gotten better. The booze is no longer 3.2 and you can beer and wine in the grocery store.

The mere fact that you depend on a workaround to get a drink at dinner is the point exactly. I know, I know, small potatoes, but FML that kind of crap just permeates life there.

Sorry you had a crappy experience living in Utah, but you seem to be offering the OP pretty outdated info, sprinkled with some tired old anti-Mormon tropes.

Left in 2003. I was there for the 2002 Olympics. It was absolutely embarrassing. Imagine the Europeans trying to get a drink. Yes, they made fun of SLC. I still go back there about once a year to visit friends. My wife (also non-Mormon, raised in Utah) and I can’t last more than about 3 days there. And that’s white knuckling it.
Oh my heck.
Well, hopefully the OP, or anyone else, considers that when reading your advice on living there.
Unless they’re senior to me. Then I agree. It’s a terrible place. Go to Atlanta. 😂
