Park City Live

I have been to Park City for both Gareth Emery and Morgan Page, two very well known DJs. Given the size of the venue, it is a very intimate environment which I enjoyed. They also have a great sound system for a venue this size. VIP options are available too on the 2^nd floor and and main floor for bottle service. Your average house spirit drink will run you about $ 10 but that isn’t too bad. The staff seemed attentive, and I had no issues with my tickets or coat check on the way in.
The worst part of this venue like anything on Main St is parking. There are only a handful of garages and those get packed early on weekend nights. If you can avoid driving on Main St, take a bus or shuttle in.

This is the worst venue we’ve been to. My husband and I were there to see The Dirty Heads during the Billboard Winter Fest. Buying tickets online was a nightmare and we did not receive an email after our tickets were purchased with instructions on how to pick up our wristbands. The venue was SO disorganized in distributing wristbands and checking IDs. The show started way later than scheduled with a long lag in between the opener and main performer. The venue seemed to have audio problems the entire set and like many other reviews I agree that they need to figure out the bass. At times the bass overwhelmed the vocals. We will not return to this venue for any show.

You should go… if you don’t want to hear the artist or band you paid to see, want to pay way too much for drinks, like waiting in line for THE security guard to check you, think it’s a good idea to pay a service charge for an upgrade they are offering at the door and quality of sound isn’t your thing.

VIP not worth it if you want to be close to the action. If you’re fine sitting up on the «U» shaped mezzanine, away from the stage, and away from the action it might be worth it to you. Several people whom had paid for VIP ended up foregoing their pricier seating and standing on the floor.
Vocals can be hard to hear. Stood up front next to the stage, made it difficult to hear Aaron Lewis when performing songs with lots of bass that drowned out the vocals.

Love coming here for events. This is such a great venue and no matter where you stand, you have a pretty good view of the show. There are a few things that make this place.
Bathrooms are clean! I can never express enough how important it is to have clean bathrooms. I already hate going to bathrooms but it makes it doable when they are clean.
They bring in awesome DJs. Of course for Sundance you expect the best, but they have great DJs coming in all year round. Not to mention that the venue is fairly small so there is a more intimate atmosphere with the DJs.
It is not impossible to get a drink. They have 4 bars for this place and they are evenly spread out so the wait isn’t long and it’s easy access no matter where you are.
Honestly, this is one of the best clubs in Utah. I never mind coming here for an event.

One of the worst venues to see a show. Somehow this place manages to get the quality headlining acts to play and it feels like a necessary evil to patronize this place.
My experiences are pretty hit or miss (mostly miss), but my last attempt to see Galactic did not leave a good impression. Why are the clientele here always so hammered by the time the main act comes on? I had at least 4 drinks spilled on me with not even as much as a sorry. Also the girl in front of me was so drunk, I was expecting her to just fall over if it wasn’t for her boyfriend. What is wrong with people in this club?
Oh wait, maybe it was the fact that the opening band was a no show and they failed to mention that. Instead they want you to waste 2 hours trapped at their bar paying exorbitant prices since you can not leave once you enter. Trapped in hell.
Speaking of hell… The venue itself seems hell bent on making you wait in line forever to get in. It is almost as if they do it to look cool. Surely they can speed up their archaic process.
Also, don’t bother trying to get up to Park City early to grab a ticket before dinner. They will not sell you a ticket without you immediately going inside. Then when you go back they will most likely be sold out and try to up-​sell you a VIP ticket. Make sure to buy tickets way ahead of time.
One last note, I can’t shake the feeling of this place being a death trap if a fire broke out. Great White circa 2003 anyone? It is packed to the gills and the exits seem like they would be hard to get to. Especially with all the drunk idiots you will have to climb over.

My five stars is obligatory given a couple of important factors:
–They let me jump around. I’ve never been asked to leave even though every time I come here, I flail around like the insane un-​dancer that I am.
–They are 21+. This is so unbelievably relieving given the absolute disasters I have seen at 16+ and even 18+ shows. Though I did see a fight break out here once.
–Which leads me to the staff. Really, really nice all around. The bouncers in the above mentioned incident handled the whole thing with class. The bar-​tenders have been very kind and responsive to customer needs. The guy working the bathroom is a riot!
–Exclusive acts. Yes, I am an annoying EDM kid. But I recognize that they bring in a lot of people who wouldn’t normally come to SLC and I have a great appreciation for that.
–Free tickets/​giveaways both before and during the concert experience. Let me be clear: I went to a show here once where they dropped money from the ceiling! My friends and I picked up $ 28! What!!! I also won tickets to a show here not too long ago, love them for it.
–Nice space/​size. I like that it’s smaller and usually the space isn’t too overbearing.
Now I must list the downsides (and truth be told I don’t even know that I should be giving this place five stars, but never poop where you eat):
–Expensive drinks. I usually don’t drink when I go here as I have to drive home afterwards but I have friends who have racked up truly astounding bar tabs here.
–Distance. Not something they can control but inconvenient for people in SLC who want to get their dance on.
–Sometimes over the top terrible clientele. Inconsideration for space and general human decency. I know, I know, this isn’t something they can control but it has definitely negatively impacted some of the experiences I’ve had here.
–On one or two occassions, problems with the sound system. Either the left or right speaker blew out which really hindered the sound quality and meant half the club couldn’t hear the music. They typically were able to remedy it… after some time.
I have been many times. I will continue to go many more times. Certainly not the best show experience I’ve had, but some nights have easily been the best I’ve had in the SLC area.

I go here all the time for concerts. I think the prices for the concerts are way overpriced and they definitely do cater to the out of towners. I would try to find deals on the concerts that they hold here, you can sometimes find groupons to some of the concerts held here. But, get your pre-​party on definitely before coming here because drinks will not be cheap. I don’t remember a time when my bar tab was less than a $ 100 while attending any concert here. You cannot smoke either or there is no outlets anymore so, there’s that. Staff is very friendly and I love them to death. But, just the prices are horrendous.
