Lumpy's Downtown

Catch a game or party on the dance floor

I truly enjoy going to Lumpy’s Downtown (145 Pierpont Ave., 801-883-8714)—I’m a 30-year-old man-child who loves any bar that’s remotely close to a Dave & Busters. But I also like to think that this downtown sports staple is more than a just solid spot to catch a game and shoot a little pool. Every Saturday night, Lumpy’s switches gears and goes from a fist-pumping sports party to a non-sports-related dance party, hosted by DJ Fonik. Plus, it’s a great place for cheap libations, like $3 Fireballs and $2.50 Busch cannons. Coming up, check out the UFC Fight on Feb. 23, the all-day NASCAR Party on Feb. 24 and, my personal favorite, Midget Wrestling on April 4. (Photos from the Red & White Party, Feb. 16)

“Lumpy Ladies” would probably be the worst caption of all time.
