Sand Trap

Ohhhh the Sandy Rap I feel like I have a love/hate relationship with you why is that?? Let's get a few things straight this bar is a shit hole no doubt about it, but if you're okay with that like I am it can be a fun bar with the right ingredients. The best recipe for a fun night at the Sand Trap is as follows

1. Karaoke- Some of the best times I have had at a bar have been here on Wednesdays for karaoke with Jackson the Karaoke Dude. Depending on the size of the crowd you may only get to sing once but Jackson is fair about how he chooses who sings and I like that even if I do only go once!
2. Live music-The Sand Trap has some really decent talent come through mostly hippy Jam bands and Indi alternative rock both genres I enjoy. If there is a band expect to dance the night away.

The bar tenders are pretty nice and the drinks are reasonably priced things I don't like are

1.-Only one stall bathroom
2.-Looking into the shitty apartments that are attached to the bar and I swear to God the doors to these apartments are always open hot or cold rain or shine, the weird thing is I have never seen anyone in one nor coming or going from one?????
3.-The bar is small and with the dirty hippies that hang out here it can get pretty skanky in there.

Also there is usually No Cover to get in and that is most def a good thing!

This place is like a second family. Great service. Straight forward food and spirits. Cheap and inexpensive and just a chill place. Everyone is always very nice. They always have good deals on food.

Prior to visiting the Sand Trap, I had been told it was boring old man's bar. Well that was pretty far from the truth based on my experience. The place was pretty happening with a good mix of people (yes, there were a few old men.) There weren't any cat fights, I didn't get hit on by a bunch of creeps and the servers and bartenders were attentive. That alone makes it a better bar than most in Ogden. Plus, I even enjoyed karaoke there SOBER!
