AH... the old get around for the liquor laws of UTAH!
The best comedy in SLC is to sit in one of these "private" clubs where you can actually get a strictly measured mixed drink. The bar owners get shopped very frequently by undercover agents of the "State Liquor Control".
One afternoon, Murphy's was filled with a group of locals disguised as serious drinkers. First clue should have been they were all drinking diet coke. Anyway, the owner had been sitting at the bar having a glass of wine. His bartender was short handed so he got up to help carry glasses behind the bar. They closed him down for a month for this serious "infraction". You can't go behind the bar if you've had a drink. Even if you own the joint.
