Double lucky you because they just repealed the "private club" law, so you can just walk into any bar and have a drink after riding!

Hey thanks dude, I wondered about that! Knowing is half the battle!

I've never been to Utah, I heard something about this back in the day though, that you had to have some kind of sponsor or person vouch for you or something like that in order to go to a bar in Utah. So that's not the case anymore then, eh?

What was it like before? What did you have to do? Or could you even get into a bar? I've always been curious but never got around to finding out.

KCander · 07-01-2009, 09:53 AM

I see that they have a limit of 4% alc/vol on beer though. Weak!

So you're saying I'll have to bring the Belgian ales with me then?

KCander · 07-01-2009, 09:56 AM

Doing some research...

WOW, I've got GREAT timing!

"On March 9, 2009, Huntsman, the mostly conservative Mormon state legislature, and the Church of Latter Day Saints reached a landmark deal to eliminate the private club law in Utah. The old law, still in effect until July 1, 2009, stated that bars and drinking establishments must operated as private clubs open only to members and guests. Member names were kept on file at the establishment, and they were allowed to “sponsor” a select number of guests. Out of town visitors could buy a temporary membership, usually between $5 and $10, effectively making it easier to enter a pub in Utah than it is to go into a bar with a cover charge in other states."

Shit, or not:

"Under the new deal, bars in Utah will no longer require memberships. Instead, all bars will be required to scan the IDs of anyone under age 35."

Holy Big Brother!

Luckily I'll be cruising up from Vegas and camping, so F 'em, it'll be a BYOB affair.

bars were called private clubs and anyone wanting to go into one would have to be or become a member......it was basically just like a cover charge except you pay once and get access for one night, 6 months, or a year or whatever membership option the bar had

4% beer is what's sold at the grocery stores....if u want real beer then u go to the liquor store where they have lots of choices ranging from Belgians to breweries in OR like Rogue (i think thats the name of the brewery, or is Rogue the name of their Porter?)

also keep in mind liquor stores here are closed on sundays

PNWriders are such helpful people. Thank you for helping me catch a buzz!

In college our 4x4 club went to Moab for spring break. We invaded one of the local bars and pretty much quadrupled the number of clientel they had. One guy bought a "membership" for the year and sponsored the rest of us. We were also able to smoke in the bar.

JTR · 07-01-2009, 11:01 AM

have fun .....and dont crash this time

KCander · 07-01-2009, 12:09 PM

I make no guarantees.

Michaelb · 07-01-2009, 12:13 PM

Good information and timing. I am off to Ogden first thing in the morning from Seattle to wreck cars for fun and money. Never been to Utah before boy that would have been a shocker to walk into.

JTurkish · 07-01-2009, 12:18 PM

just dont judge utah or slc based off what u see in Ogden.

thats like me judging seattle from just being in federal way or auburn

Hawker · 07-01-2009, 12:38 PM

Where are you going riding? I've been out to Moab a coupple of times and can reccomend some stuff if you let me know what you're looking for.

Alas, Moab is not on the agenda. I'm DYING to ride Moab, but I probably won't be able to go there until this fall at the earliest, most likely not til next year. My buddy is hauling us up to ride around near someplace called Enterprise I guess? We're hauling the bikes up from Vegas, just across the Utah border. Ever been there? Got any tips?

JTurkish · 07-01-2009, 02:35 PM

while coaching a msf class, one of the students was a dirt rider....he mentioned that a state office like the forest division or something like that has a free map with all the dirt roads in utah

koorbloh · 07-01-2009, 02:44 PM

Proverbs 31:6-9 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

either the saint don't read their proverbs, or they don't know how to think
stay out of utah if you want a strong drink.

any town bordering utah should have a hefty supply of 5% beer, not that crappy 3.2% stuff. (everyone is saying 4%, but last I heard it was 3.2%....)

2 years in Southern Idaho...it was like living in utah, but with real beer.

PeteN95 · 07-02-2009, 12:10 PM

3.2% alcohol by weight = 4% alcohol by volume. FYI

JTR · 07-02-2009, 12:49 PM

Nope, pretty much just went out to moab to hang out and ride. Hit me up when you do go, and I can probably arrange for my brother to meet you/show you around. Have fun.
