Museum Bar - Salt Lake City

Came here for New Year 's Eve. Terrible, awful, terrible....as we were entering a couple was complaining about the raw sewage smell throughout the venue. The promoter pretended they didn 't smell the feces permeating throughout. It was nauseating. The whole club stank to high heavens. If it wasn 't cigarette smoke it was cigar or sewage. The one open table was filthy. No party favors, top shelf liquor, or decorations. The back screen was blank so no visuals. Some fool was throwing ones in vip, while women scrambled wildly to collect the falling bills. It was quite the spectacle. Not my kinda party or crowd. The one star is for the bartender who gave us free champagne. Although, cheap and headache inducing. Overall, the club was too hood for my taste and stinky. I will never come here again. Parking was $10 dollars. We left after an hour. No Bueno. This club is for the young, hood and desperate. I 'm drunk, but I 'm also throughly disgusted. This was some utter bullsh*t.

I visited Museum Bar last weekend for a silent R&B party. This was my first time at Museum Bar, and it may/may not be my last, and here's why. Because this was a specific kind of party, I don't know what Museum Bar is usually like. But I imagine that if a DJ were playing, the dance party on this huge floor would feel Oh So Good. I had a great time dancing with my headphones on. I would definitely attend another silent party. Service at the bar was surprisingly good quick and easy. My friend and I kept seeing food appear in people's hands but it wasn't until we actually stood next to a wall of pizza boxes that we realized where the food was coming from. There was no signage indicating that food was available (and what kind of food it was , so I guess you had to ask or look at other people's orders. Why this place is 3 stars instead of 4 the lack of air conditioning and the dirty toilets. I mean, really, it's 90 degrees outside and this is a room full of people and you can't turn on the air conditioning?! Because I'm a Yelp Elite I can't type what I really want to about this madness. With the lack of AC, it was so hot and humid that I had a constant sheen to my skin (both my skin and hair looked amazing in this environment but that's not the point. I would wipe myself only to be wet again seconds later. My friend went to the bathroom and told me that I would have a fit if I saw it. She told me that it looked like it hadn't been cleaned from the night before. She also said that they were out of paper towels and toilet paper. This was at 11:30 for a party expected to go on until 2am. (Do better, Museum Bar, really. I know your usual clientele is about 25 and likely go without toilet paper in their apartments for a couple of days at a time, but still.... Parking is a nightmare with all the guys waving at you to pay $10 for parking. We took a Lyft there and back and it was worth it. Overall, not a terrible experience and I would attend another party there knowing I'd be sweating like a field worker and unable to urinate the entire time. Enjoy!

Lame! Just got home and sooo dissapointed in my experience. Thank the Lord it was free( i was on a list before 11) They def reminded me why I dont go to clubs because they held the line( in the freakin cold) for no reason other than to make people miss the 11 deadline for free entry. Smh Drinks are way overpriced and you have to buy at least 3 to get a buzz. Dj was just not cutting it tonight. I was hoping to forget i was possibly dancing in the pulpit. Anyway nice decor and setup but i wont be back.

The Museum Bar has two floors to it one, the upstairs area with dining seating a large bar area with a huge flat screen on the wall that can be seen from anywhere in the bar. It has also has a balcony with tables and chairs that overlooks the wide open area downstairs and has a beautiful view of part of the city. The patio provides a nice alternative to dine when the weather is nice. It's nicely decorated with white and black furniture and has a banquet hall kind of feel. It's a great place to throw private parties of any kind and has another section for dancing and late night fun. Side two, the downstairs area is where the club is located. It's decorated in red and black, has two bars, a dance floor, DJ booth/stage, VIP seating and soft couches located in a few locations around the club. We visited The Museum Bar as part of the celebrations for Atlanta Carnival 2012 and therefore didn't get to fully experience all that this place has to offer. I'm looking forward to possibly holding a private party here or an event to better evaluate my entire experience. I will say that as we were waiting for our party that was being held on the lower level we did order some tapas and drinks at he bar upstairs. We ordered the Salmon Flatbread and the Calamari. I haven't had Calamari in years and I think this was like my second time having them and these were good. The texture and taste were on point. The Salmon Flatbread however left much to be desired. It was to soft and very, very thin and the salmon tasted to fresh for my liking. My husband ordered an Amaretto Sour and enjoyed it very much.

Never again. Nope. Naw. This club is the DEFINITION of ratchet. Let me Explain: Where to start what a weird parking lot; some jagweed parked at a diagonal causing a slight traffic jam before we left. The door Got there around 8:15 or so, there are people inside already, but the doors were kept locked. Why?? The smell the worse thing about this place is the smell. It smells like 4 day old grease and 'Fry Seasoning. ' Had to ride home with the windows down and take a whore 's bath because everything smelled like damn old grease. EWL The menu Small and overly priced, especially for the area. Cocktails ran about $10 $13, a beer 3 different selections my Corona 's were $6. Basically everything was fried. Fish and chips, fried calamari, hot wings, etc. etc. etc. Also a little pricey if you ask me. The food left a lot to be desired. It took FOREVER to come out once ordered. About 40 minutes or so. Um the purpose of offering a mostly fried menu is expediency. My friend got the calamari, it was extremely chewy and tough. I got fish and chips. Two small pieces of cod and some fries for $13 (at least at meehans you got 3 big pieces of fish for that price and a lot more fries). It was only okay, you could taste the old grease and the breading was soggy. The service Slow. Had to ask for my second Corona like 4 times. I think they only have one kiosk for that whole place to ring up orders. Lame. The venue So we were there for a comedy show an let me say this most of the comedians weren 't funny, BUT I couldn 't be a good judge of that because the sound in this place is terrible. It 's an old church with high ceilings and lots of nooks and crannies and well the sound was echoy and tinny at the same time. Most of the funny jokes I managed to hear were about how shitty the sound was. Please get it together people! The music As one comedian noted, when you hire a DJ from a temp agency, the music is gonna be whack. I 'm paraphrasing, but the music was whack and it was like the dude was searching thru his Spotify playlist for a song to play in bt set. All in All NOOOOOOO don 't bother.
