Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City is the capital of Utah, at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains. The queer scene is small and closely connected, and many people in it have left the Mormon church.

The scene

The bars are spread across the city centre rather than concentrated in one district. Club Try-Angles on Harvey Milk Boulevard is known for its theme nights, The Sun Trapp west of Downtown for its patio and DJs at the weekend.

When to go?

  • June: Utah Pride Festival, from 5 to 7 June in 2026, with a parade on the Sunday
  • Summer: patio BBQs at Club Try-Angles from Mother’s Day to Labor Day
