Party places in utah county

Parties are one of the best parts of life. They’re a great opportunity to catch up with friends and family, celebrate special occasions, and just get together with people you love. But sometimes it can be hard to find a place that’s perfect for your party needs. That’s where we come in!

When you’re looking for a good time, there are plenty of places to go. Here are some of our favorite party spots!

A bar – If you want to get drunk and put on some serious dance moves, a bar is the place for you. But it’s not just about drinking: bars are also space for meeting new people, having fun with your friends, and making memories.

A pool hall – If you’re looking to get competitive or just hang out with your buddies, a pool hall is the place for you. You can play games like billiards or snooker, enjoy drinks and food at the bar, and even watch sports on TV if that’s your thing!

A club – Clubs are great because they’re open late (or all night long!) and offer a lot of different activities like dancing, karaoke nights, live music performances from local bands/singers/musicians… basically anything goes at clubs! You could even see yourself getting into trouble here if you’re feeling adventurous enough… maybe even meet someone special?

There are a number of places in your city that are great for parties. Some places are filled with fun activities for the kids and others have great food and drinks.

Are you looking for a place to have your party? Look no further! Here’s a list of some of the best party places in Utah:

1. Ogden

This city may have recently been rated the sixth best place to raise a family by Forbes, but never fear, non-family oriented youngsters, Ogden is also a good place to party. In fact, out of all the places we looked at, Ogden ranked second for its nightclubs and third for its music venues per capita. If the nighttime scene isn’t your thing, Ogden still has you covered. Especially when it comes to arts, active life, and food, where it ranked third, third, and seventh, respectively. If this seems like a lot to do, see, and eat, that’s because it is. But don’t feel overwhelmed—just start with Jeremiah’s for brunch and coffee, maybe hit up the Art House Cinema, and cap off the night at the Wine Cellar for some jazz. Plus, with 30.39 percent of people between 18 and 34, you’re bound to run into somebody who knows the inside scoop on having fun.

2. Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City: Home to the Church History Museum, the Clark Planetarium, Discovery Gateway, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and more arts and museums per capita than anywhere in the state. SLC also had more nightlife, live music, and active life options per capita than anywhere else in the state (though, really, The Garage is reason enough to move here). So why didn’t Salt Lake rank…a bit higher on our list? It lost the winning spot simply because it was not quite as densely populated at Ogden, it didn’t have quite as many restaurants per capita, and as far as fast food goes… Well, Salt Lake City ranked among the worst. Perhaps that’s why there are so many listings for gyms? Still, beyond all that, this was still the second most exciting place in the state, hands down.

3. Midvale

With a population of just under 28,000, Midvale is easily the smallest place in our top 10, but as the numbers show, that certainly doesn’t mean it is lacking in things to do. In fact, because we based our analysis on listings per capita, you might be surprised at this place’s numbers. This relatively small city was packed with arts and entertainment listings, from the Midvale Performing Arts Center to the Pinnacle Acting Company. It also had the third most nightlife options per capita, the seventh highest percentage of young people, the fifth most active life options, and, as if all that wasn’t enough, it is the fourth most densely populated place in the state. So even if you’re not into arts, nightlife, being active, or basically having a good time, you can at least be sure you’ll bump into somebody while you’re out and about; hopefully somebody more exciting than you are.

4. Logan

If you read the above paragraphs about Provo, it might be hard to imagine a place equally as exciting, but our numbers tell us that place is Logan. Can’t argue with numbers. So how did Logan and Provo manage to get the exact same score? Well, actually, it looks like they’re quite similar, at least in terms of exciting amenities. For instance, Logan was the only other place in the state with nearly as many young people as Provo, with a high 49.3 residents between the ages of 18 and 34 (mostly thanks to Utah State University). It also had a high number of arts, nightlife, and active life listings—including a little place called the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music. Which is just awesome.

5. Provo

It almost doesn’t seem fair that we mention Provo as one of the most exciting places in Utah, what with all of its existing awards and accolades. In short, this city is just packed with awesome. Here’s why. Home to Brigham Young University, Provo has the most young people out of anywhere in the state—in fact, an insanely high 54.52 percent of residents are between the ages of 18 and 34. That being said, there are also a lot of music and nightlife venues per capita, and for those who’d rather eat their calories than drink them, tons of restaurants. Though, let’s be honest, Black Sheep Cafe is all you really need.

6. Clearfield

Jumping from Provo and Logan to Clearfield, you’re probably going to see some pretty notable differences—namely, the nightlife, music, and arts scene. What Clearfield lacked in those categories, it made up for wholeheartedly with food, with the sixth most restaurants per capita. Places like the Golden Ginger Bistro, the High Hat Diner, and Argentine Corner (which, if you haven’t been in because of the outside, don’t judge this book by its cover!) are probably reason enough to live here. But that’s not where the excitement ends. Clearfield also ranked among the most exciting for its densely-packed population, and for over 33 percent of that population being between 18 and 34.

7. Sandy

This city may be a suburb of Salt Lake, but as our analysis shows, it has plenty of excitement to offer on its own, thank you very much. After all, it’s the home of the South Towne Center mall, the Jordan Commons entertainment and dining complex, the South Towne Expo Center, the Rio Tinto Stadium, and it’s the birthplace of Julianne and Derek Hough, for Pete’s sake! If that doesn’t make you want to boogie, perhaps the number of nightlife, arts, and active life options will—the sixth, sixth, and second most in the state, respectively.

8. Orem

Home of Utah Valley University, it may come as no surprise that Orem is filled with excitement—and young people; 34.19 percent, to be exact. Unlike some of those other youngster-filled cities with their bars and their dancing and their music, Orem seems to have a much more laid back vibe. For instance, it didn’t rank that well for nightlife or music venues, but it did have a lot of active life and arts listings per capita. It also ranked the third most densely-populated place in our analysis; perfect for…not walking from bar to bar.

9. Roy

What is so exciting about a city with a low percent of young people, hardly any nightlife or music venues to speak of, and a serious lack of art? Food! Roy was easily one of the most exciting in terms of food on all counts. Not only did it have a ton of restaurants per capita, but it also had a serious lack of fast food, which as we all know, is much more exciting. There’s Five Star Restaurant, Lee’s Fish & Rice, ABC Mandarin, and the best breakfast burritos in Utah at Rancheritos. Roy also had some of the most people per square mile in the state—4,660 (for comparison’s sake, Salt Lake City has just 1,678), so you’re bound to run into somebody who’ll accompany you to an amazing dinner.

10. Millcreek

The final spot on our list goes to the Census Designated Place of Millcreek. If you’re asking, what in the world does that mean, we’ll tell you. Millcreek is a CDP and township in Salt Lake County, which, as of 2010, includes Canyon Rim, East Millcreek, and Mount Olympus. Okay, now for the excitement. Even though this CDP includes a lot of land, it was still the sixth most densely populated area in the state. It also ranked pretty well for its nightlife, but where it really shined was in its cuisine. With more restaurants and fewer fast food joints than any place in our analysis, Millcreek is the spot for any Utahn foodie (especially if you like Indian food).
