Salt Lake City Tips
- Always have your ID on you. Some places designated as "bars" won't even allow you inside without checking ID, even if you don't plan on drinking.
- If you want to buy alcohol, you can only do it at State Liquor stores (or grocery if you only want beer), but not on Sundays.
- Most places outside of restaurants open late (around noon) and close early (around 6) on Sundays so plan activities accordingly!
- Parking is free on the weekends downtown! It usually always a hassle though. Better to park outside or in a garage and take a scooter the rest of the way!
