Cheers To You

This bar was a bit sketch. You park on the side and enter thru the back door. Not a bar you go to for special drinks. We were here on a Saturday night and they were doing karaoke. The host was a little annoying, he kept doing Lil Jon impressions. Ya know, "yeeeah" huwhat... strange and unpleasant.

I'm from out of town so the highlight for me was the people watching. Pretty busy tonight (unusually busy I gather from the bouncer) and there were some girls in 50s era wear, some lesbians with fem-mullets, some dancing, some guys all in denim, some dumb girls, interesting.

This place isn't any better than the downtown location. Which means it is very mediocre. I believe in and am a strong supporter of dives. And this is, most definitely a dive. But when I support a dive I feel they should support me back with dive prices. This is not an expensive location and that's not what I'm trying to say. What I am saying is it cost just the same as other higher caliber locations I've been to and that is depressing. It was dark and gloomy. It exists in a very depressing part of State Street, and it wasn't overly clean or fun by any means. I will say the servers and bartenders were kind and helpful and that is a plus no matter where you go. If I can just recommend dropping prices by 50 to 75 cents a drink I think that would be much more fair and accommodating to the types of patrons it seems that Cheers to You is trying to cater to.

I can't tell you how many times I've driven by this place in the last year without even seeing it. I heard rumors of a Cheers out south but I had no idea it was in Midvale.

A group of us went on Saturday and it just happened to be their one year anniversary as well as karaoke. Is this place fancy? Nope. But it was fun and the people watching was so entertaining. How can you beat a 70+ year old woman singing her heart out? And that Asian dude who is dancing around by himself? Let's not forget the meathead looking dude covered in tattoos wearing tevas. Amazing.

It was busy but not packed which is always nice. This location is much bigger than the downtown spot. There are pool tables and seating. There's even a little patio.

Drinks are low to average in price but the reason I'll go back is the bartenders. Really nice guys. Rick introduced himself to me and asked if it was my first time. He welcomed me and said he hoped I would come back again soon. Just for that, I'll go back if I'm ever out that way.
