Every Bar in Salt Lake

In the face of Utah’s strict liquor laws, the experience of drinking in this city is already a journey. So in January of this year, City Cast Salt Lake host Ali Vallarta made it a quest. Her New Year’s resolution was to have at least one drink at every bar in Salt Lake County before the end of 2023. Lead producer Emily Means checks in with her to see how the journey is coming along.

Snelgrove, the ice cream store and factory was around for 50 years before being demolished, but the sign still stands today in Sugar House around 800 E and 2100 S. Shoutout to everyone who guessed it right!

Hey Salt Lake reader Becky H said, “We lived behind Snelgrove on Elm Ave. for 20 years. My favorite order was caramel cashew malt with extra marshmallow topping. It was so sweet and I loved it but now the thought seems really sickening. Mr. Snelgrove planted a garden next to the south fence and my husband would take his tractor over and plow the ground each spring. Great memories.”

What will become of the cone? Like many demolished buildings in the area, the site will house a new apartment/retail development, but the Snelgrove sign and ice cream cone will stay.

For this week’s “Where Is It?” can you name that pool? Hint: It’s in Ogden.
