What People Are Saying About Bar-X-Inn

The Scene – It's the kind of bar you didn't think existed anymore. With rough wood walls, tile floors and a line of filth running beneath the stools from one end of the bar to the other, it's a no-nonsense, old-school dive. Peanut shells litter the floor, and working joes and a few college kids drink the only beverage available--beer. Don't plan on getting a meal unless you consider salted munchies (nuts, chips and pretzels) one of the four basic food groups. Open since 1933, this bar's longevity is a testament to its enduring, elusive appeal. – – What to Do –…

COLDEST BEER IN TOWN

by sarasota2006

What a place .. if you like down to earth people.

I lived is Salt Lake for three years in my late 20's and this was my spot. A great mixture of people, from college to professional to blue collar to borderline bums.

The beer is cheap and it's cold. The pool talent is very good and people are very friendly.

  • Pros: Cold Beer, Cheap Beer
  • Cons: 2 crowded Fri night

Oh, for the good ol' days

by peterbehle_citysearch

Back in my college days at the U, this was a hidden hot spot. We'd go hang out on Friday afternoons, drinking too many tankards and playing pool with the regulars. Maybe even have a chili dog. It kind of turned into a frat hangout in the '90s -- and now is just kind of a mish-mash of all kinds of people. Still cold beer and cheap, though.

  • Pros: Cheap beer
  • Cons: Crowd can be seamy
