Editorial Review for Tavernacle Social Club – by John Youngren
The Scene
Located in a renovated copy shop along what was once a sleepy downtown block, the Tavernacle is making some noise: drink specials, regular karaoke nights and dueling pianos have made it one of Salt Lake's most crowded nightspots. A friendly staff keeps the cocktails coming, and the bar has emerged as a hot spot for meeting and greeting on weekends.
The Draw
By its own declaration, it's "the place where everyone else goes to sing." The highlight is you've-got-to-see-them-to-believe-them duelin' piano players (a regular cast of talented, versatile singer-musicians) belting out standards from the '60s to the '90s. A spare live microphone allows for the occasional croon (or squawk) from game audience members and the room has already developed sing-along traditions for "Friends in Low Places" and "Piano Man," among other songs.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasThe Tavernacle doesn't serve food, but it can come up with a pizza from a nearby takeout joint.
Save MoneyYou'll need either a membership or know someone who has one; sometimes, there's just a cover ($5) on busier nights.
Know Before You GoRequest pads at each table allow patrons to submit songs or birthday wishes on dueling piano evenings--just remember to include a dollar (or five).

My husband and I love this place and love the loud obnoxious people there. We always take our friends here...but NEVER forget to inform them of the SLOW and UNFRIENDLY bar service.
Pros: Always Great Entertainment
Cons: BAR SERVICE =(

Spent a great New Years Eve here. Atmosphere is great. Musicians are funny and talented (and a bit adult rated at the end of the night). Drinks seem cheapish. It's like nothing else in SLC. Everybody seems happy, and despite the amount of alcohol consumed people remain friendly and polite. It's a lot of fun - lots.
