The Depot

It's a small venue, but cute! I really enjoyed the concert we went to and the staff/ crew were really friendly and helpful. I would go back again, but next time I'll definitely take the elevator instead of the stairs. What I didn't like was that there was no announcement or correcting that one of the announced artists was not going to be there after all. They could have let people know before the show started or sent out an email for the changes. Many were upset or very disappointed. The venue could have let us know.

I went to a concert here with several of my adult children. This is basically a standing room only concert venue. There are multiple support beams that can block the view of the stage if you are standing near them..... But if you are shorter than 6 ft tall, you better get there super early.... Otherwise you won't be able to see much of the stage and concert because of the taller people. My attached picture is from me holding up my camera almost as high as I could. I'm 5"11. ...Plus, it was so insanely packed, it felt like it was over sold. We were 45 minutes early and about halfway back and had a difficult time seeing the performers. Of all the concert venues I've been to in Utah, this is the least comfortable and enjoyable. Unfortunately I saw a lot of people leaving early do to what I've described above.

Wow! What an entrance into a building. This place is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are perfect to every detail. I love how the shower and lav rooms are separate. The bed is super comfy and how the front desk takes care of you is amazing!!!

Not a very large venue, but has attentive employees, good sound, and good lighting/effects. If you are closer to the back though good luck seeing the stage as it's mostly a standing room. Massive bathrooms that are very clean

Used to be an amazing venue. Since they got bought by Live Nation, they've gone to crap. They charge extra for everything and charge fees even if you but directly from their box office. Too bad bands I like have to play here.

Have been to quite a few concerts here. This is generally a good venue. Food is a little overpriced. Bathrooms are far away and you cannot use the elevators to get to them unless you are drinking at the upstairs bar. Kind of a pain.

Attended the bop to the top tour held in this small venue & I gotta say not bad for a small venue. The sound system was badass. I paid $30 on top of the ticket price just to have access at the top floor because I wanted to be comfortable & not mixed with the crowd. I’m glad I did because I had a great time & was also able to sit down in between some songs. There’s a bar upstairs & not only do they sell alcohol they also sell theater food & drinks. The restrooms are clean & has lots of stalls. & there’s always a cleaner in there every other minute to keep it clean which was very appreciated. The staffs were very friendly & informative. Not sure how the bottom floor was with all the crowd(not even having too much space to move around), but I can definitely tell you that paying a lil extra so you can enjoy the night comfortably & dance around freely with so much space is totally a must. Will definitely come back here for the bop to the top tour next year. The sound system is still a shock to me especially for a small venue. 10/10 recommend going if any of y’all favorite artists plays here.

The worst venue I have ever been. I went there to see king princes, the crew were rude but specially the so call “manager”, I paid extra money to be on the balcony, and if you read others reviews you will know that if you paid the extra money you get to seat well once there they separate the balcony and thy want us to paid extra money to seat, I contacted Ticketmaster and they told me that my ticket include to be seat I ask the manager and he say no, that only person that can sell these “special tickets” is him. So if you are in the balcony that you previous paid you wouldn’t have a good view. People that didn’t paid the extra money got a better view because they can up for the drinks at the bar and just stay in the top. The only person that was nice was one of the serves whose name is Abbie she was super nice.

Cool intimate venue. Great sound. Weird VIP additional ticket area. We had a great time seeing Bella White and The Paper Kites. FYI about the balcony logistics. The upper balcony is usually divided into a few areas. From back to front... The highest area (where the bar is) usually open to all (21+), but getting a good view means getting here early. Next level down is the "VIP Club" area and requires an additional ticket ($20 for this concert). See photos. Last area down to the front of the balcony are VIP Suites which are clearly the best seats, but aren't for you. The VIP club area is somewhat disappointing. The view is worse than the upper non-VIP area, but you don't have to arrive to early. It's also arguably worse view than the floor, although less crowded, and you do have access to wait staff, if you can get their attention. If the people in the suites stand up, you won't see any of the stage from the "VIP Club" area, so you'll have to watch the big screens mounted nearby. Next time I'll think twice about the VIP Club area, and may just arrive a bit earlier.

This venue is a gem in the heart of SLC! The security is solid, complete with weapon detectors and bag checks! Once inside, the ambiance is vintage and the owners kept the integrity of the Union Pacific Depot. I was impressed how clean it was, especially the women's restrooms! At the beginning of the night, the stalls were filled with all the necessities and maintained their quality throughout the night. The walls are decorated with intriguing images and posters of showers. There is a coat check at the entrance if you choose. There are a lot of stairs to the upper levels, but there is an elevator that seemed to function well. One of the most impressive parts of the night was that they had what seemed like a small bar, but it was almost a full bar! The bartenders could make any drink I asked for, and the employees were super nice! I adored seeing my show at this venue, and I'd love to return.

This venue is located in gateway which provides several options for parking and food before or after your event! I did pay for fast entry so I can't comment on the winding line down the street. The inside is an intimate floor layout with second floor balcony that doubles as a bar and has seating around the railing. I would've loved to sit up there but did not bring my ID - even if you don't want to drink but you want to be up there you must have an ID! There's really not a bad seat in the house. Even the view from the food/drink spot in the back is good. I paid $22 for chicken strips and fries which is ridiculous and took forever to come out but they were hot, offered a variety of sauces, and were nice in presentation. The bathrooms are on the second floor which is accesible by stairs or an elevator. There are tons of stalls so no waiting and were clean when I went! My only qualm is that if you don't want to get stuck waiting to leave after the event in the narrow hall ways and stairways they have, you have to leave a few minutes early.

The depot is an amazing venue for a stand up concert. You definitely feel the drums here. Looking forward to coming back to more rock concerts here

I've been to countless concerts in SLC, but somehow this was my first time at The Depot. For being a larger venue, the sound quality was pretty incredible. It was a packed house, but with the tiered levels most people could have a decent view of the stage without having to pay extra. I think the venue must have read some of the previous reviews about the security, because they weren't nearly as psycho as they have been in the past. Not only were they genuinely friendly, but they weren't like most concert security who always seem to try everything in their power to make you have a bad time. However, I can see how less-strict security could make people feel unsafe. The venue and the bathrooms were very clean. The merch and drink lines moved pretty quickly. But like most music venues, they do charge outrageous amounts for drinks and upgrading to seats. Overall, I was happy with my first visit to The Depot! I think although the previous complaints about the strictness of security are valid, they're also strict for a reason.

You can only drink beer in a small area upstairs. It's ridiculous for a concert venue.

Dry cool venue. It's standing room only but you can get a seat with table service in the mezzanine for another $100. It's a bit much at first but not really when you factor in the comfortable chair, the view, and the table service. The waitress was super nice and attentive. Love this place! 10/10 would recommend.

Okay wow, I love this venue! I don't know how I've lived in SLC for so long and had never been here before this past weekend. First of all, I felt very safe here. I didn't realize there was a limit to the size of your bag, so heads up they only accept smaller bags into the venue unless it's clear! They have a metal detector upon entrance to the venue as well. Once inside you can choose between multiple levels of the venue to view the show, and although I didn't explore the entire venue, it seemed to me like there wasn't a bad seat in the house! The upper level has the bathrooms and a bar, and you can overlook the entire venue from a balcony. That dips down into a lower level where you can pay to be seated if you want to. At all ages shows, I believe this second level is 21-plus area and you aren't allowed to have drinks anywhere else if it's a show for people under 21. I believe that's what they told me. This show wasn't an all ages show, so you could bring your drinks anywhere throughout the venue, including outside in the smoking area. The downstairs level was intimate and didn't feel super crowded. We still got to get pretty close to the stage without feeling smothered by the crowd. The bathrooms again are only on the third level, so if you're down below you have to walk upstairs (or take the elevator) but they have SO many stalls which is always so nice! I feel like more concert venues (and bars honestly) need this many stalls! The only thing that was a little annoying about the venue was how difficult it was to get out of the venue after the show, it was super crowded, there's only one elevator, and the stairs got clogged up really quickly with people at the end of the show. Other than that, seriously love this venue! The staff was friendly, the bar was quick, the seats were all great. Can't wait to come back!

The venue sucks! Totally claustrophobic! Since I got in I've been pushed around by employees. I've been stuck in 3 forever lines. Stop over selling tickets. The place is not big enough for how many people are here. Had to get beers on the 3rd floor and leave my daughter. I was hoping to grab a beer and join her. I had to drink chug my beer or throw it away. Super lame! I don't think I'll be desperate enough to watch a show here again.

Niko Moon......wow! Doors opened at 7:00 pm on the dot and it was so cold like 25 degrees outside at 6:30 pm, so waiting for 30 mins in the cold was just......cold. The Depot was awesome. Great acoustics, fantastic waitress and all around good people working. Once inside excellent customer service, a dude on the 3rd floor explained the upgraded seat situation on the third and 2nd floor. We did upgrade to the second floor seating area and had awesome neighbors on both sides. Excellent venue for the ticket price it was totally worth paying extra to upgrade the seating arrangement. We did misplace an item and had to go back to the venue and people where helpful and we found the missing item...... Things to know, Trax blue line stops at 11:15 pm, in Jan 2023.....boo!

It could have rfid type of payment. They don't. I lost my wallet and can't buy anything.

I attend dozens of concerts a year. The Depot should be embarrassed how they handle entry into their venue. There is always a line for blocks. The concerts can never start on time because of the ineffective and inefficient method of entry and security screening.

The sound is good there. I hate that so many areas are VIP and you have to pay extra. Depot is still better than The Union (awful acoustics). So I'll give them that.

Great place. Very well organized. The staff were amazing and very friendly. Easy entry and exit. The concert was more than I expected. Good vibes and friendly people.

I went to a show at the Depot this past weekend, and I enjoyed it. The venue was pretty cool and open, and the food was really good. I appreciated that the Depot was close to the train station so we didn't have to walk a ton to get there. The security was pretty strict about the bag policy, though, and two of our friends had to leave their bags in the bushes outside of the venue. We had the garlic cheese curds, which were insanely good and easily some of the best cheese curds I've ever had. We also had the garlic parmesan fries, which were good but also pretty average. I would definitely recommend the cheese curds over the fries. The drinks were good too, but a tad overpriced. To be fair, we were in downtown SLC where almost all drinks are overpriced so I wasn't that surprised. I had a peach AMF, though, and it was yummy. It was $15, but it came in a pretty big cup so I wasn't too upset by the price.

Good venue for what was a great EDM concert. Food and service were pretty good too. Would definitely go for something like that again.

The fact that you have to pay to sit ANYWHERE is beyond ridiculous and such a money grab. They are dumpy and it smells like mold in the building. It's just a 0 star experience all around. I will never go to another concert there. The employees really aren't very friendly either.

Security was rude and not helpful. Had no direction on where to go so a good amount of people were lost on where to go and where the bathrooms were or if they even had any. Played the music too loud to the point where it was uncomfortable The show started a hour after it was supposed to start and the lines were a mess with no one knowing which line is GA or advance Left early because the experience wasn't even worth staying in the terrible venue. I wish I could get my money back

Wow - came to Utah from out of state to see a small band. My first concert back since pre-Pandemic so I wasn't sure what to expect. The staff took the safety precautions seriously: requiring face mask, proof of vaccine, proof of negative test, and even made me and my friend check-in a small bag at the coat check area since it was larger than their approved bag guidelines. Cleanly! Perfect sized venue for this band. Bar area on 3rd floor. Concert on 2nd flor. Friendly staff to assist with navigating the facility.

I've only been to the Depot twice. One time in 2018 to see Tank and the Bangas with Big Freedia and last night to see Twin Temple with Bridge City Sinners. Both times, the performers have been excellent. Last night, while we came to see Twin Temple, I was pleasantly surprised by Bridge City Sinners and found myself enjoying them even more than Twin Temple. I also want to add that the sound quality was excellent both times. Anyway, now to get to all the things I hate about the Depot. Both times, even in 2018, I have been annoyed with how they nickel and dime you at every opportunity. Like you see an amazing viewing opportunity and you walk towards it, only to be met with a member of the staff who tells you that you have to pay an extra $40/person to sit or stand there. Even in 2018, when the show had relatively low turn out and I'm sure the performers would appreciate more fans closer to the stage, those areas sat empty for the entirety of the show. There are even these obnoxiously gigantic screens right in front of the stage blaring advertisements all night long. As for last night? It gets worse. It was a cold and rainy October night. The kind of early season precipitation that catches people off guard, providing an opportunity for things like frost bite or hypothermia. The line is taking absolutely forever given the medium size crowd. When we get to the front, I find out why. It's because they are absolutely scrutinizing every single person. They tried to tell me that my very small fanny pack, barely big enough to hold my phone was too big and that next time I shouldn't bring it. Trust me, there will be no next time! The website says only clutches allowed so I thought this small bag would equate. Also, I'm the kind of person who is going to a Twin Temple show, do you think I own a clutch? I might as well carry my phone in my hand! The security woman told me, that a fanny pack is not a clutch and that I should have brought a clutch. Wow, so now they're dictating people's fashion choices? They're basically enforcing dress codes at a music venue! I haven't even gotten to the most ridiculous part yet! They make everyone empty their pockets and they actually confiscated my husband's mechanical pencil because they said that it could be used for graffiti. There is nothing in their policy about pens or pencils being marked as restricted items. We extensively reviewed it before we attended. It's more than what the average person would do and we still had to deal with a big hassle. We asked for it back at the end, and they said they don't return confiscated items. It was a nice pencil, one that he uses at work regularly. I was waiting in this ridiculous line with no coat or umbrella because I thought I was smart enough to check their restrictions beforehand and I didn't want to bring anything extra. The guy next to me in line had a boot for a foot injury with bare toes sticking out of it in the 30 degree rain! All so they could confiscate pencils? The least they could do is offer coat check so people can at least get their stuff back! I swear all this is a recipe for disaster. If there's a place where something tragic happens, it this place because they literally have zero compassion for their customers. Honestly this whole experience put us in a sour mood the whole night. The music was great but we kind of regretted coming. We would have had a lot better time doing anything else. I think next time I see a performer I want to see at the Depot, I would rather drive to Colorado or Vegas to see them than go through that security line one more time.

The venue itself was just okay. I didn't enjoy the show we attended so that definitely effected my feelings about the place. BUT - the cheese curds here were possibly the best I have ever eaten they were out of this world. If you are going here do yourself a favor and get them!

Okay rite to it. this venue is very over priced 65 for gen, witch i guess isn't too bad paid extra 75 for balcony, luxury cost i get it. but i get there and they want to charge me an extra 100 to actually sit in a seat. I went to this concert with my kid who has seizures so we had to sit so 200 added, then the menu had no prices kind of scared me so i kept it lite, ordered chicken fingers 1 beer and 1 soda came to 80 bucks before tip. I highly doubt any of this money is going to the artist , I'm very surprised this place is staying in business, no fault to the artist they where awesome and wont name them for fear of them getting some of the blame.

They treat their customers like garbage. Their one concern is making a buck. Everything is clean because they are more thorough than going through Airport customs so no one could get away with anything. I say this after a paying customer was told I couldn't bring my purse into the venue although it was completely empty and was the size of my phone. Purses aren't made that size. Their card was smaller than men's pant pockets.

I just heard from a group that was at this venue Thur evening 1/18/24 and it was horrible !!! Apparently, they're under new ownership and they had employees running around picking up customer's jackets, putting them in trash bags and donating them to some charity or something like that. AND it's winter there and snowing !!! Don't you dare sit in a chair or they'll charge you $20 !!! I will be calling the Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau and Ticketmaster on Monday and register a formal complaint !!! I would have given a zero star rating but you can't do that on this site.

Wanted to catch a show while I was spending time in Utah so I was interested to see what this venue had to offer. I've become so accustomed to the venues I frequent and you never know what you are going to get when you check out a new place. I was pleasantly surprised! It's so easy to get to the venue, no matter driving and parking, walking or taking trax. You enter on the first floor, the stage is on the second floor, and there is a third floor with another bar and bathrooms. Since the show we went to was all ages, you could only drink at the bar on the third floor. I ended up watching the show drinkless downstairs because I thought it had the better view. I really liked the overall space, it's a small enough venue that you don't have a bad view in the place, but also big enough that you can hang in the back and not feel like you have no personal space. Granted I don't think the show we attended sold out, but it was still a great experience. For a concert venue, the bathrooms are well taken care of. They are clean and the stalls are plentiful. Never had to wait in line and didn't have to worry about totally trashed stalls! The staff were all so incredibly friendly, that's what really tipped me to five stars. I've had lots of experience with stoic or just outright rude venue staff but everyone here was so nice and helpful. From the guys wanding us out front, to the woman who took our tickets, to the guy checking IDs on the third floor, I give you all so many props and thank you! My only "negative" wasn't even a negative, just that I've heard better sound quality, but it was still pretty good! Highly recommend this place!

My daughter recently was at the mc magic concert when my daughter caught a rose he threw into the crowd and she was then hit in the face and those who hit her destroyed the rose. .the manager was very rude when we told her what happened.

This is possibly one of the most disappointing venues I've ever been to. Security is rude and operates a draconian bag policy, literally measuring clutch bags with a ruler and making people throw bags away that are larger than 4x6 inches. There is no communication about the bag policy on the tickets, website or other communication about the show, just a placard by the door. Conveniently located next to the "garbage" can they're using to collect bags. Bands should stop booking this venue- their fans deserve better. Fans should boycott this place. Anyone who says this is a good place has clearly never left SLC or Utah.

This is my least favorite venue in Salt Lake. They allow no bags (even bags the size of cell phones), the bar has lines down the staircase, and the staff are incredibly rude.

Went to a concert last night. They had concerts the three nights before and ran out of food. People come to the concert expecting to eat dinner there. They knew they were out of food that morning. It's a simple fix- call a fee of truck or two, they have room in the fenced in area out front for this. Go to Costco, buy fries, corn dogs, pot stickers, whatever you can find, we know you have the kitchen to cook it in. Bought VIP seats, only to be surprised we were required to buy entry tickets as well. Such lack of communication. Need an option for NO stars on the rating. Disgusted!

Horrible customer service. Very rude staff. My sister and I came here for a Faye Webster concert and the staff were very rude right off the bat. At one point one of their crew pushed passed us abruptly and vigorously without any warning whatsoever. Almost didn't let my sister in because I had to bring my purse back to her car!

Not a bad seat in the house! But I froze my butt off the whole concert! They do have a bar here you have to be 21 to be on that level which is really nice

The Depot has been a disappointing venue every time I have been there. Artists put on great shows, but the predatory tactics this venue uses is despicable. Firstly, they promote a VIP section for 25 additional dollars. The issue? The view is horrible. You get no seating, and a whole 4 tables for an overpopulated section. You get a slightly elevated surface just behind the Suites (Which I originally thought the VIP tickets were for). You aren't allowed to stand near the protected balcony for a better view, and the side balcony's completely block the stage. Good luck seeing the stage from the VIP section at all. You have to pay 50 dollars for the Suites. Which are never full, and aren't advertised on their website, or on ticketmaster. The downstairs has seating too for similar price-ranges. It's just ridiculous to have a VIP section in the worst view in the ENTIRE venue. Loved staring at the back of the heads of the people in the Suite section the whole 4 hour show.

I forgot several years ago I went to see Keb'mo at The Depot. At that show they only sold GA tickets, then in arrival they had some prime areas that they would sell you access to for cash, and not a little bit of cash, hope the IRS is onto this revenue dodge. Went again last night for Christone Kingfish Ingram. Same ploy, pay ticketmaster 48 bucks each for 4 tickets, then offered seating at the venue for $50 - $80 bucks each, otherwise stand for the show, 3-4 hours. Two of my guests had physical disabilities, no accommodation, buy a seat or leave, one bought, the other left. Not acceptable and probably against some laws. Show was great! But in the future they could host the Rolling Stones and I wouldn't buy. Last comment, tickets advertised at 25, but when you were done with Ticketmaster they added 23 to each, for a total of 48, that's a whole other review!

Went from a favorite venue to honestly i never want to go back. We got there and were immediately told (unkindly) that my very small purse was too large to go in the venue.... even though they had people checking inside bags and metal detectors.... But my small purse only full of my phone and credit card and ID, couldn't come in. (Meanwhile plenty of people were still able to get their weed in.) We walked all the way back to our car to hide my purse and then back to the depot to continue getting spoken to by staff in a very disrespectful manner the whole time. Bought two drinks because it was hot and we were thirsty and it was $11. ELEVEN dollars for a $1.50 peace tea and a liquid death. The sound quality of one of our favorite bands was very underwhelming and we have seen them at The Depot four different times. I've also been to a sold out show there a few times before but this one felt even more crowded than precovid times so I hope i don't get sick from such a shitty evening. Y'all Im telling you skip The Depot next time, even if its one of your favorite bands. Maybe ask you fav bands kindly to play somewhere else? Who knows. But I won't be going back because it was one of the worst nights out I've ever had.

May be the off (wo)man out here but I think this venue is awesome. Came here last night for Valentine's Day to see Wiz Khalifa and loved every second of it; the sound system was excellent, the subwoofers were bone shakingly good, the checkin process was seamless although the pat down was a little too meticulous imo, the bartenders were efficient and friendly, and most importantly, they didn't let too many people in!! That's the best part: not too many people who there is still room to move around and breathe. Definitely won't think twice before getting tickets to another concert here!

Went ta see a comedy and the experience throughout was better than expected. Metal detectors makes sense for comedy shows involving hot topics. The two women at the ticket booth helped us find seats more appropriate for people with physical disabilities and we're a delight to speak with. Troy even escorted us to our seats...such a kind young man. Our server did not forget us while still being polite for the comedians and other guests. The food was a bit expensive, but the fries, tacos, and churro tasted great.

The concert I went to was great. The sound system was awesome and the atmosphere was cool for the most part. Security was acting like a P.O.S. I couldn't even take water downstairs from the bar area after having a drink. We brought some battery powered light sticks and they were taken away when we got there, like why? One of my least favorite venues.

This place has changed. It used to have chairs around the side. Now in addition to the ticket price, it's $10 dollars a person to have the privilege of sitting down. Had I known, I would have stayed home. I can just leave early if I get tired of standing. I have Graves' disease and asthma, it's hard to stand around for so long. I could go sit on the toilet to catch my breath, I suppose. The sinks suck too, you have to hold down a button while cleaning the other hand, meaning people aren't washing their hands properly. *extra star for Brittany at the bar. She's great.

This venue lacked in adult atmosphere but had great acoustics. If your 21+you're going to need to arrive drunk or else you will be disappointed. The only bar was upstairs where you had to show your ID, get a stamp and then wait again to get a wrist band. After all that you couldn't bring your drinks downstairs. This venue needs to push against SLC and Utah "standards" to maintain itself as a mainstream venue. utah law sucks..

I love this venue usually, but last night it was so hot my husband and I had to leave early. Everyone was so hot. It was hard to enjoy the show when everyone was dripping sweat and not from dancing and having a good time.

I came to SLC to see iDKHOW on 1/28, and it was one of the worst venue experiences I have ever been through. Venue sold fast passes to only the back of the line without warning or advertisement (because in their actual words security told us "the back of the line usually has more money than the front"), which left fans that had been waiting since 8 AM in freezing SLC cold 2 hours after doors were supposed to open. COVID tests/vaccinations were barely checked and masks were scarce at best. Any and all seating was an additional 100$ fee to sit because it was a 'standing venue' only. Bartender ignored me and friends multiple times when asking for water after the show. Most staff was rude, unhelpful, and mocked fans complaining about the freezing cold. Save yourself the trouble and don't come here.

The artists here were awesome, but the venue was awful. I've worked a number of service jobs, so I'm really pretty generous with reviews, but my experience with this place was a combination of disappointing and frustrating. First, to be fair, the good things: -The bar tender was nice. -Food was overpriced, but pretty good. -Sound and lights for the performance were great. Okay, now the reasons I'm leaving this review: My friend and I got really expensive VIP meet and greet tickets, and it was NOT WORTH IT. Meeting the artists was great, but we had to check in really early, only to stand and wait for quite a long time. After a quick meet and greet with the artists, we had to wait for another hour for the venue to open to the other guests, and still another hour and a half for the concert to even start. It wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have to stand for the bulk of that time. But the venue is a standing "mosh pit" style venue, and the only actual "seats" were apparently reserved for a separate set of venue VIP's. So by the time the concert started, we were already exhausted, and our backs hurt, so we couldn't even enjoy it. We and others tried sitting on the floor in the back, or leaning against a railing, but it seemed we couldn't do anything without getting reprimanded by an employee. If they're going to have so many rules about where you can and can't be, they need to have signs posted. They also need to have an area where patrons can freely sit down. With few exceptions, the employees also just seemed needlessly rude and really gave off the vibe that they didn't want you there. Another critique I have is that the bar was understaffed--there was one poor bartender and one poor kitchen worker who were doing their best and just seemed overwhelmed. For the amount of money we paid, the experience honestly just sucked. I would have rather just paid normal admission and been able to at least enjoy the actual concert.

Amazing venue the staff are understanding and very accommodating with needs. Very quick process to enter and the security is amazing. Their are multiple tiers of tickets general admission is standing only the both seats and table starts let you sit down on the balcony. The acoustics are amazing and a bar makes it easy to enjoy a drink or food to order.

One thing that I really like about the Depot is how accessible it is. Over the years the Gateway Mall has slowly slipped into oblivion, but the show must go on at The Depot. Meaning that all the parking structures are at your beck and call should you choose to drive and not Uber. The Depot offers a very typical experience in terms of concert venues. The sound quality may not be the absolute best, but it certainly beats out another very popular nearby competitor. Although, The Depot gets additional points for sometimes putting on shows for the 21+ crowd, for reasons you already know if you yourself are over 21. The bar is a bit larger than other venues, but still equally as rowdy and inaccessible when the shows get going. At this point you know what you're in for, either get your sip on beforehand, or pay the price of convenience. This is a standing venue only, unless you shill out the additional money to buy a VIP table.

Great venue with fabulous service...we paid up to sit upstairs in the VIP section...what a great way to watch a show! Our server, Dani, was simply amazing and our views of the stage was great and we were able to sit in a comfortable seat. Can't wait for the next time!!

The Depot was a great place to catch a performance, especially in the so called "VIP" section. I do wish more egalitarian words can be used to designate something special. In our current political and economic climate, expressions such as VIP and Elite seem so coarse. Jackson Babcock, one of the Depot's managers, took great care of me and my guests. We had reserved table seating, with great sight lines, and a server getting us drinks from the quiet bar. I didn't quite understand why the bar was so empty. SLC, get your drink on! Businesses need profit to stick around. If you don't want ticket prices to go up, spend some money. Your Marijuana dealer is not helping the SLC economy. Have a chaser with that joint. Maybe I'm too used to Wisconsin. Acoustics were great and everyone, including the bouncers, treated us with respect and dignity. I had some trouble figuring out what to do with the electronic ticket on my phone and the hard copy reserved seating, but the people working at the Depot were all patient, except the woman at the "Will Call" window, whose impatience had an air of disdain. That's probably her parent's fault. The only disappointment was the band, Beats Antique. Their performance used so much pre-recorded music, that I couldn't discern what was real and what was synced. Because of my age, I am used to a "live performance." Bob Dylan was booed off of the Newport Folk Festival stage for using an electric guitar. Can you imagine how a band using pre-recorded sound would be treated? Of course I understand technology is an integral part of music in the 21st century. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. If a singer didn't accompany you on this tour, I find using a recording of her singing in a performance cheesy and cheap, beneath the talent of Beats Antique. In addition, the choreography of the dancers was comically bad, unrehearsed, and amateurish. An elementary school play would have better dancin g. However, all this is not the Depot's fault. I will return to the Depot for a performance, and hopefully this one will be "live."

The Depot is a pretty cool venue! I am so confused as to why there is two different Yelp's for the same business?? I don't know because I was the one who checked into two different Depots with the same address because I was so confused by the whole situation. Anyways they do a ton of different events here from mostly concerts to comedy nights and other things. You can also rent out this venue if you wanted to for a number of things or parties, etc. My husband and I recently saw Passion Pit here and they were great. I didn't have the best view on the floor because there was a pole in the middle blocking a lot of my view, but besides that I enjoyed this venue. I like The Complex and the few others I've been to out here I enjoyed them as well. This reminded me of the House of Blues almost to an exact! My husband said the same thing. So, if you have been to House of Blues, anywhere, you will know what to expect because it is honestly quiet similar.

The Depot is a great concert venue. Everywhere you stand or sit has a great view of the stage. Last night we went to a Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC dance party there and it was fun. It was a the first time I'd been there for a dj party and not a live concert. We decided to rent" a table so we would have somewhere to sit if we wanted and not have to stand all night. So we paid $15 each for our chairs that were right off the main dance floor, but a few steps up so we were above the crowd. It was awesome to have that. We also had a waitress bringing us drinks so we didn't have to stand in line for the bar. They had Beverly Hills 90210 playing on the t v screens all around the room, which was kind of funny and great at the same time. It totally brought in the 90's feel. The only think that I wasn't super happy with is the fact that it was billed as Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC, and they didn't play that much Backstreet Boys or NSYNC music. It was basically just a 90's night. Not my favorite dance music. But it was still a good time with my girlfriends.

Bar tender was so loud we couldn't hear the concert. When someone finally said something about it, the bar tender got angry and used security to remove the sensible person. Becaus he was a bigger guy I feel they removed him with way to much force. Totally illegal.
