I've been to the Bongo several times, usually when the VFW is unexpectedly cosed...always have had a great time there!! Bartenders are super friendly and efficient!! Regulars are always welcoming and easy to get to know, even if you're a stranger. Cheap drinks, fun atmosphere, fun football day when my regular place is unpredictable. Will go back, often!! Love Connie …

Always a pleasure to visit this bar and the drinks are very affordable! I think Johnny is the hardest working bartender in SLC.

Hella cheap beer. All cash. The bartender is really really good. The place is usually busy but there’s always plenty of seating. There are tons of TVs to watch games and there’s pool! My friends and I frequent this place.

The bartender/waitress, Abbie, was an absolute doll and never let my glass run dry. Great vibes and a friendly welcoming bartender always makes things better!

This place is such a hidden gem. I absolutely love this place. Generally quiet, nobody starts drama, drinks are INSANELY cheap, there is pool, darts, etc. If you like dives, and peaceful ones at that, this place is perfect!

I love the Bongo! It’s a classic local spot with prices easy on the wallet-cash only with an ATM inside. Cold beer and classic cocktails (nothing fancy or overpriced), friendly bartenders and an atmosphere/community of old friends. Taco truck on Friday night too!
