Piper Down is one of Salt Lake City’s premier Irish Pubs and live music venues near downtown. David and Shelli were first inspired to open a Pub while Honeymooning in the Temple Bar District of Dublin, Ireland. After much effort, they finally found a space that would make their dream a reality. Dave and Shelli bought the building at 1492 South State in Salt Lake City in September of 2002 following preliminary approval from the City to transform the vacant Constable’s office into “The Temple Bar, an Olde World Pub”. There were 14 public hearings, appeals, and endless red tape, mostly due to the misconception that the name was meant to slight the LDS Church. To avoid further delays, they changed the name to “Piper Down an Olde World Pub”. Their hands were still tied until they finally won their permit to begin work in January 2003.

Christmas On Temple Square

The Temple Square Christmas lights and concerts are an annual tradition and a top favorite for many Utah locals. The lights are turned on each year the day after the Thanksgiving holiday and remain on through New Year’s Day. During these evenings, Temple Square is usually aglow with over one million lights, musical performances, and holiday cheer.
