Editorial Review for Zanzibar – by John Youngren
The Scene
Don't be fooled by Club Zanzibar's appearance. It may not look like much, but it's in an area of downtown that's being revitalized and it shares its strip-mall location with both Iggy's Sports Grill and Brewvies, a pair of local favorites that draw a young, upbeat crowd. Inside, a lively mix of the hip and the refined sips cocktails and waits for a seat at one of the 10 tables.
The Draw
Decidedly intimate, this romantic little jazz bar will quickly make you believe you aren't in Salt Lake City anymore. The martinis, all named for crooners, are appealing. And since they couldn't call it a jazz bar if it didn't have live music, there's a rotating roster of tuneful types (expect everything from Latin jazz to jam sessions and even an open-mic night) performing every night.

Insider Tips
When to GoHours vary depending on the date, scheduled live performances and what's going on downtown. Call before going to make sure the club will be open.
Know Before You GoBecause it has a full bar, Club Zanzibar will charge either a cover or membership fee, depending on the evening's entertainment.

Oh I just love this place! I've been going for 3 years and I'm never dissapointed. Great first date spot, or a nice place to take clients. Dark and romantic with elegant decore. The crowd is always varied from swing dancers and college kids (not the rowdy type) to older couples and business men. You can wear jeans or business casual. Blues on First is my favorite band; they aren't there very often anymore. The bar staff is great, the beer is cold and the food is wonderful. They reinvented the menu recently and it's good. Get there early; seating is limited.
