About this place The Trapp Door

The Trapp Door on East Broadway (300 South) is Salt Lake City's neighbourhood gay bar — smaller and more local in feel than Club Try-Angles, rooted in the regular patronage of LGBTQ+ residents who live and work in the central city. The Broadway location in the commercial strip of the historic Salt Lake City block pattern puts it accessible from the 9th and 9th neighbourhood to the east and from downtown to the west. The bar format is the neighbourhood local: regular crowd, themed event nights, the comfortable familiarity of a bar that knows its regulars. In a city where LGBTQ+ people have historically relied on the bar scene as a safe public space in ways that are less necessary in more liberal cities, the neighbourhood gay bar fills a social role that extends beyond the purely recreational.

This was a few years ago but I deleted my review since then so I'm re-writing it. My first and second time coming here was nice, atmosphere was great. But when I came here for a third time on a random afternoon in 2023 with my boyfriend after a long ride, we wanted to a nice time but the old man at the entrance misgendered me after taking a look at my ID, said my ID wasn't valid and denied entry. We ended up going back home. Anyways I haven't gone since lmao

Here’s a polished version that still sounds personal and honest: The Sun Trapp still has its charm. Being one of the oldest gay bars in the West, it has that classic neighborhood feel that’s hard to replace. Honestly, one of the best ways to enjoy it is to go earlier, around 7 p.m., when it’s quieter. The bartenders are attentive, come check on you, and you can settle into your spot while watching the crowd slowly roll in for the night. Service has always been great in my experience. I’ve also noticed some nice renovations recently, especially in the bathrooms. My only real complaint is that the DJs could definitely be better.
