About
Salt Lake City, UT
Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Salt Lake City’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Beehive State’s capital city bar culture and Utah holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The Downtown and Sugarhouse bar districts have developed into some of the finest bar neighborhoods in the Mountain West and on ugly sweater night the combination of Wasatch Mountain backdrop, the growing Salt Lake creative community, and the excellent bar scene creates a holiday celebration that reflects the genuine quality and beauty of Utah’s capital.
Our Salt Lake City route moves through downtown and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality of what Salt Lake’s bar scene has become. The ugly sweater competition in SLC draws on the creative energy of a city that has developed a strong arts and culture tradition and the entries reflect that Mountain West combination of outdoor adventure spirit and genuine creative ambition.
December in Salt Lake City is cold with the Wasatch Mountains fully in winter, typically ranging from 22 to 35 degrees at night. The mountain backdrop and the Temple Square holiday lights create one of the most beautiful holiday settings in the Mountain West. The bar community in Salt Lake City has the quality and warmth of a city that has invested in its nightlife.
Our hosts manage the Salt Lake City route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Beehive State creativity to the holiday season.
