The end of the world is coming, so which bar will you be at when the lights go out? You couldn’t possibly want to spend this night with your loved ones or on your knees making amends. So, here’s the rundown of Apocalypse parties.---

Don’t forget to tip your bartenders. Seriously, if the world is going to end, don’t be a dick. That said, why not lay down the debit card and go to town, right? ... Or, better yet, why are bars even charging a cover?

Let’s say that the Mayan calendar truly does come to an end -- and not repeat, like the modern Gregorian calendar that we use -- and this end of times prophecy comes to fruition. No one really knows what it will look like. Maybe it’ll be a zombie apocalypse (especially since zombies are in right now) or maybe the lights will all just go out on the universe, but my favorite doomsday fears include: Ryan Gosling destroying all female life forms on the planet so nothing can populate, Planet X crashing into us and the “pole dancing” theory -- which, I think, involves strippers.

But you don’t need an astrophysicist to tell you that the world, in fact, won’t end. It’s most likely a hoax created by the Association of Dive Bars of America to attract patrons and have an excuse to get wasted. And that conspiracy theory, my friends, City Weekly can totally get behind that -- and support, even.

You, obviously, want to spend your last few precious human hours at a bar (like when they go to the Winchester Bar in Shaun of the Dead) -- and fulfill all of your last hedonistic urges and fantasies. Luckily, Salt Lake City has plenty of options for ya. And, either way, it's going to be a sweet night.

But first, here’s this:

City Weekly staff picks for your end of the world survival pack:
backpack full of cocaine

condoms
strawberry lube
grappling hook and rope
smoke bombs

a bad-ass leather jacket (duster recommended)
