Wasted Space Bar

Cheap drinks, chill environment. Not the nicest spot but fun to kick back at. Pool, darts, beer pong are always fun

It’s funny to me how many people’s only defense of this place is ‘cheap beer.’ You do realize you can buy beer for even cheaper than this and drink it in your living room right? (which is almost definitely cleaner, safer, and likely has a better sound system)

Wasted Space is not sure if it wants to be an über-​dive bar or a cheesy dance club/​roller rink. The front half is fine and divey, the back half is a starlight lit dance studio with tables from the nightmares of a sixth grade rollerblading birthday party. Clientele are either friendly or incredibly off-​putting. But hey, it’s ridiculously cheap!

I walked in, there were awkward white people hula hooping on stage while Anaconda by Nicki Minaj played over them on a projector. Then Pony by Ginuwine came on and the hula hooping got even funnier. There’s pool and cheap whiskey shots and its just a very strange place idk what to say ⁶⁄₁₀

Somehow, this always ends up being the place we stay for the rest of the night!
What bar includes pool, beer pong, cheap drinks, good music, projected videos, free tables/​seating, dance stage, AND hoola hoops?! It’s not the nicest venue since it seems a little older but that doesn’t matter when you have great company!

Smells like poop from time to time, the DJ’s are always pretty awful and you’re better off pulling your pants down in an alley way and using the restroom there, rather than the disgusting restroom they have to offer.
Anyway, it’s a total dive bar… don’t expect anything extravagant, the shots are cheap; you get what you pay for… and the bartenders always seem to be very nice, so here’s a 5 star rating. Oh and they’re open on Sundays! Whaaaaaat? Props to this crappy divey bar!

First off let me explain why I give this place 2 stars instead of 1, the answer is of course very simple cheap drinks! The service on the other hand is very bad, the bartenders seem to ignore everyone at the bar (most of them are absolutely trashed) but they need to pay more attention to the ones that are just trying to get a couple of beers and a shot.
The restrooms are the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen, covered in graffiti, and they have a old school towel roller thing to dry your hands. I’ve read up on those and they are said to be full of bacteria if not washed correctly.

The name says it all, so what should one expect this place to be other than a space to get wasted? Drinks are cheap, and it’s as divey as it gets. They’ve got a DJ on the weekends that takes requests and plays mostly Hip Hop and Top 40. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, then hop up on stage and show off your dance moves or hula hooping skills for all your friends to enjoy. In the mood to just chill? Take a seat in one of their booths and enjoy the scenery or play a game of pool.

Cheap, local and american place in the heart of Salt Lake, Utah. No food provided but you can get chips and cookies from vendings. Pool table and a couple dart boards exist.

Not sure what all the hate is about, but our bartender Shanice is a lovely lady that has been pleasant both times I’ve been there.
I’ve never been here at nights, I’m a day drinker, primarily to avoid crowds. So maybe that’s where the hate comes from… But as far as the day experience, it’s always been nice. The steins as I stated in my tip are the cheapest I’ve found, I can’t remember what I was paying for shots… But I like this place for some drinks whilst waiting on my pizza from the Pie Hole next door.

An amazing way to be introduced to salt lake. Great service, pleasant atmosphere, and cheap drinks. PBR and a whiskey shot for $ 4?! Best deal I’ve ever come across. Special thanks to our bartender, the blonde woman with tattoos. Very kind and attentive. Next time I’m in SLC, I will be sure to return to the Wasted Space!

The worst. Ever. Unclean, bad service, bitchy bar tenders (especially the bad bleached blonde one) We were extremely unimpressed. They should stay shut down.

The Squatters IPA draft was good; service left much to be desired.
I hate giving bad reviews…
I asked the red-​head behind the bar what there was to do on a Sunday in SLC and she quickly said «I don’t know» and walked over to, who I can only assume was, her boyfriend and completely ignored me.
As I’m sitting here now, my beer is empty, she glances over then resumes her conversation. Very poor service indeed.
10 minutes later: Still waiting on beer, but no service. She is on this side of the bar chatting.

Stopped here while doing a mini bar crawl with a bud around the block. A couple pool tables, a DJ playing decent tunes, boobies on the projector screen, and advertised cheap drinks. After we ordered our whiskey coke we went to pay and the prices increased. They charged a extra buck for cola! Never seen that before. My buddy thinks the bartender hustled us but I think it’s just a weak managed bar. Try any other bar around the block but this one.

I’m not from SLC but was in town and wanted to go to a place to watch the football game. I stopped in here and took advantage of the $ 3 tallboy special. Things went downhill from there. I was surrounded by what appeared to be meth heads and homeless people. It took all of my zen focus to avoid making eye contact and getting into a conversation with any of these people.
i made it about 8 minutes into the game before I took off and went to The Green Pig around the corner.

Wasted Space indeed. A space for the wasted. The drinks are hella cheap but you have to put up with an atmosphere most akin to the Nickelcade on crack full of patrons who seem most certainly on crack or seeking out crack.
«Say crack again»
*CRACK*

This is… a place. By place I mean you can go there and continue to BE. You can also get very cheap drinks. VERY cheap. But it also seems like a place you can get hepatitis b. But cheap drinks…

Cheap drinks, chill atmosphere, what’s not to like? I especially like the root beer float the bartender makes. $ 5 — Jäger, root beer schnapps, soda water, and maybe something else. Whip cream and cherry on top. Tastes good, pretty strong, win. Karaōke is a usual, pool tables, not very busy. Last time we went on a Wednesday and it had a decent amount of people. Karaōke was poppin, $ 3 big cans of beer, $ 2 rail shots, $ 4 long island, $ 1 more to make it stronger. No cover, chill bartender, I don’t know why people dislike this place.
