Cool venue thats got good room for crowds but still feels intimate. We saw Alter Bridge here and it was such a sweet show! Nice that you can get some food at the bar while waiting for the main act. Food was pricey and simple but came out piping hot and was surprisingly tasty. Staff at the entrance and inside were fairly friendly. They offer a coat check which is nice during the colder months. Bathrooms got a thumbs up from my wife, so thats high praise!

Definitely my favorite large venue for live music downtown. Very clean. Great acoustics and sound system. Decent food and good drinks. Security was pretty thorough, yet friendly, which I appreciated. A nice touch of nostalgia and history as well as this venue is part of the old Union Pacific Railroad Depot. Id say the only downside is that the concert hall is on the 2nd and 3rd floors, BUT they do have spacious elevators, so its not really a downside at all!

Cool place. There could be better seating options. I enjoyed the show!

Great venue ! The space is very intimate but the sound is great. There is not a bad view in the house. The staff is fabulous, and always helpful. I would go here again and again to see live shows.

The venue is just the right size the sound is excellent. However, it would be nice if they offered a way to purchase a seat, even if it cost significantly more. By the time the main act is on stage, there is a good chance youve been standing for four hours or more! Some pretty awesome acts play The Depot throughout the year.

This venue is fantastic! The upper level is perfect and its small enough that its still intimate. Saw the Interrupters here and threw venue definitely helped make it one of my top shows.

EDIT: I spoke with one of the managers here and they really took care of me. I didnt even realize there is a balcony here at The Depot. Knowing that there was more space to go to enjoy the show, it would have been different the first time. The team here really care about giving a good experience and trying to make the bad ones right. Thats what matters to me most as a customer. A bad experience is one thing. But being ignored by a business is something else entirely. That hasnt happened and I am very pleasantly surprised that this really is a good venue with good management. I was wrong about this place.1st Review: This place is a pretty terrible place to come for a concert, at least in my experience. The place apparently sold too many tickets and its too packed in here for comfort. They have insisted on keeping the bar open through the entire show and its a cattle drive going back and forth through the crowd constantly. Someone spilled beer on me because theres nowhere to walk except through me. At least the music is good. But Ill never come to The Depot again.I actually left early before seeing Alter Bridge play because I was so sick of being pushed around. And not just by other concertgoers, the event staff were all over the place pushing people around to empty trashes and mop up spilled beer. What a terrible experience. I feel so cheated not even wanting to stay to see one of my favorite bands.

The Depot is our favorite music venue in Salt Lake! Lots of excellent bands play at the venue. The staff are friendly and welcome people into the venue when doors open. There are bars on both levels of the venue and great views of the stage wherever you stand on the main floor. The sound has been perfect at every show I’ve attended there. The venue is much more intimate than Saltair or Vivint. Definitely go to a show there!

My wife got us tickets for Alter Bridge (her absolutely favorite band) for my 63rd birthday so we headed down from Twin Falls Idaho. We needed ADA seating due to a very recent surgery and Depot staff were right on it as soon as we got there, as I saw them all perform throughout the night with all customers. A “shout out” to Chris upstairs for his assistance and class! Great employees, great venue culminating in a great birthday experience for my wife and me!

Ive been to three concerts at this venue, all three of words were very awesome experiences. I first seen Blues Travelers there years ago, the sound was amazing. My second show there was Queensryche before Geoff Tate hung it up. And most recently I attended Reverend Horton Heat. A great venue for local names or household names that have been around for years. VIP sections our average price for a venue of this size but they are very decent seats.

I really wish I knew the security company that did the event for The frights...they were amazing everything about the venue was amazing including the venue employees. Im so impressed with this venue!Check out Keep Flying the band they made experience so fun!

The Depot is great! Its a small venue, which gives you plenty of opportunities to get close and see the bands or artists play! Theres the main floor and an upstairs bar which gives you an amazing vantage point as well. The noise level was decent and the crowd was somewhat respectful. Security was pretty tight when entering but pretty relaxed after youve made entry. Overall a great experience and would definitely attend more concerts here in the future!

This venue is awesome! Great sound, great atmosphere. Its more than just a big room to watch bands in. They have screens, a cool red curtain, brick walls, seating areas and an upstairs balcony. Bathrooms are HUGE and clean. Excellent staff and security, and they bring in top notch acts. Worth the 3 hour drive to come down for a show!

Had a great time at the Depot. The building is older and nostalgic which I really like. Its a smaller venue which made it easy to see and be close to the band. And the band, Black Jacket Symphony was just incredibly good. Really liked them. Mark D.

I went for a fun art show. It was called RAW. The venue was nice and big, and they had elevators to each floor. It was quite cold, but I had a coat so it was fine. The staff were helpful and kind, they always held the door open when we were moving big boxes. They have two drinks bars, one on the upper level and one on the lower. The stage was spacious, and everything worked well. It seems a bit drab when its empty, but thats because it has black walls. A good venue for any event.

I took my daughter to see Mike shinoda at the depot. It was an amazing concert! Jackson, who handles VIP seating was so helpful. Our tickets were waiting at will call. We got to skip to the front of the line to check in. Our table was reserved and he came by to introduce himself and offer assistance. The venue was personal and attractive. We had so much fun! The security was wonderful and ever present with out being overwhelming. The food was yummy and comparably priced. Thank you to everyone!

It was a great venue for the musical performers I went to go see. I liked the variety of seating - general admission, couches, and chairs up by the bar. Choose whichever experience you want.The staff were helpful and moved things along in getting the line into the venue. The audio quality was good. The size was just right to have a good experience but not overwhelming.

Ive been coming to the Depot for 9 years now since moving to SLC and had no issues at all. They host lots of great brands/artist and the drink prices are completely reasonable. Great location too right downtown in SLC!

This is my favorite venue in Utah. Its cozy, and you can get really close to the stage. Great venue!

I always have fun when i go to concerts here! i just wish your seated area upstairs wasn’t always so expensive and i wish it was always a set price.

I saw Falling In Reverse here a while back, and it was less than spectacular. I remember leaving here with a list of laughable complaints that I can’t really remember all of them now. The sound was good but that was about it. The place was very tight and crowded even for general admissions. I ended up having to leave the pit and stand in the back of the room so I could at least breathe. The stage is low so it can be hard to see the band at some points. And don’t bother trying to see what’s happening on the screens because Guitar Hero 2 had better graphics than those tiny TV’s. I remember tickets being cheap but they make up their money by charging an arm and a leg for tables. With an hour left in the show and 4 empty tables they wanted to charge me and my sister $50 each for a chair. Definitely was expecting a slightly better venue. But I guess you get what you pay for.I debated back and forth on 2 or 3 stars. Because the sound was good. And 9 times out of 10 you’re there for the band. Not the venue. And that’s what’s most important I guess.

The depot had a great atmosphere. While there we saw Alter Bridge, Clint Lowery, and Deepfall. The music was AMAZING! love Alter Bridge, and Clint Lowery! Listen to them often! The only complaint I have about the depot was how crowded it was. Which isnt really a complaint against the depot. But more a complaint against venue. Maybe the organizers should have done a larger place. Again, loved the groups and the place had a great mood

Love going to concerts. I enjoy the faster metal music. Glad its inside and serves drinks (alcohol). Maybe a few places to sit could be used if only on outside walls or whatever? But really I may just be a little older than most at these type of concerts. So seating is not necessary. Just glad this type of music is on venue. Metal is so fun and exciting. The aucoustics are great and able to see stage from most of the areas. Plus alcohol is available in restricted area making it possible to bring my 20 year old son. All in all a very happy place to be.

Really cool venue. Multi floored and plenty of space all around. My company rented it out for a private event and we all had a blast!

Awesome venue! Small enough to feel intimate but large enough to host some big name bands. Clean and nice. We really love seeing bands here

Love this place but it chained and locked most times now

Great acoustics and I can usually get a pretty good view of the stage. Beer prices are a bit high. I Dont particularly like having to climb the stairs to get to the viewing area. Overall its a good venue and Ill continue to go there for shows.

Awesome venue, reminds me what I love about music. Good people, artists feel like they really interact with the crowd

The Depot never disappoints! Smaller venue with great sound. Rob Thomas, Blue October, Morrissey and Josh Turner were all amazing.

This place has a solid setup. Chicken strips are excellent. Really a good venue and a more intimate setting to enjoy your favorite artists or discover new sounds.

Great setup, sound and location. The last few shows Ive seen only gave the option to buy balcony seats as an add-on upgrade at the door, and at some fairly silly prices. That might be show specific, but other than that I live the depot

The staff has their game together. I like that even at all ages shows you can still get in the 21 and over section, and actually have seating. Some reserved, some not. Its clean and roomy, even for concerts. They have several small rooms for my and greets like the one I experienced. The sound system is good. No bad experiences there so far.

Its been years since I have been to this venue but honestly this last time far exceeded my expectations. The highlight of the night beyond the music would have to be the security staff. For once the staff was actually kind and wanted to help letting us store our stuff when we were in the front, being very proactive about whats going on in the crowd and lastly talking to us in between sets. What a great experience it all was!

The depot was a fun spot for a concert. I was able to see one of my favorite 90s bands there. There are quite a few stairs to the top but that is why it’s fun.

Great venue. The stage is on the second floor. I dont know if they have a way to get up there if youre handicap.

As far as smaller event venues go, this is my favorite. Ive seen a few concerts here. Its at the Gateway so theres things to do before and after and ample parking available. Its kind of an odd setup, up a narrow staircase but dont let that first impression fool you. The venue itself has good acoustics and puts you up close. Theres a bar available on the third level. Ill never say no to a good concert at The Depot.

The Reverend Horton Heat brings scorching rockabilly to Salt Lake. @jimheath @jimbowallace @bigsandy Rockin great time!

One of my favorite venues here in SLC. Their drinks arent too expensive and the view from the upper deck is still great with the giant TV displays. The main floor is amazing and its almost always super easy to get a good spot at the venue!

We paid a lot of money for private seating and were told you can get here anytime after 6PM and go to your private booth...when we arrived the story changed and we had to wait outside in the cold for over an hour and finally got to enter the venue at 7PM, along with all general admission.Basically, I wont be back and I advise anyone who is interested in attending a show at this place to be prepared for chaos and a crew of staff that have no idea what has been advertised on the internet and promised to you...best of luck.

Great venue downtown Salt Lake. Weve seen a Tom Petty and now a Pink Floyd tribute concert here.

I really enjoy the staff that work there. They are very friendly and they also put in an effort to have security. I feel like this is important nowadays to feel safe and secure.

I grew up going to grungy, stuffy clubs all over SLC. I really liked the experience, but now that I’m a little older and have slightly higher standards, I enjoy a quality experience. The depot was the perfect mix And made the Anberlin concert we attended even more memorable.The mosh pits were still going, and some nostalgic stuffiness could be found in spots and areas, but there were plenty of options to stand in the back safely and with some room. The concert was sold out, yet there was room outside of the center pot, which surprised me and was refreshing. There are also 4 or 5 large TVs with a live feed to show the you stage if you have a bad angle or want to see what it looks like from that perspective.The Depot is on the 2nd and 3rd floor. You have to go up lots of stairs or you can take the wobbly elevator.The bathrooms were clean, and all the staff was incredibly kind.5 stars for this place. If you get a chance, come here.

Always great shows at The Depot and love the atmosphere. Would give a 5 if drinks werent overpriced. But that is anywhere these days.

A nice large music venue. Multiple bars. Huge restrooms, but theyre a bit of a hike away if youre starting from the stage area. The sound was good at the show I saw (Pixie and the Partygrass Boys).

Great Venue to see Walk Off The Earth!!

Security was pretty efficient getting everyone in the building. Concert area needs to have better A/C. Also dont agree that table/chair seating costs $40 extra for your party if you dont want to stand the entire concert.

Small venue but very nice. I really enjoy events here.

Not a bad venue, but its set up a little oddly. The entrance is on the first floor, stage and bars on the second, additional bar, terrace, and bathrooms are on the third floor. There are tons of bathrooms and they are clean. It holds a little more than 1k. They have a full bar, but if you arent familiar with Salt Lake City, they have pretty strict, and sometimes just odd, alcohol laws. The acoustics were pretty good when we were there, and the stage was a decent size.

The acoustics are great. The staff is great. Its standing room only unless you want to pay an extra $150. That price is ridiculously high for nothing more than a barstool. I love the small venue feel but I dont think Ill be back for another concert. They cram people in like sardines and you cant see anything unless its in a screen. Disappointing.

Great venue with a variety of VIP ticketing options. The bar charges $8 for all the canned beer, so get a heavy IPA or the double bock for the biggest bang for your buck. Ive seen everything from Grateful Dead cover bands and corporate Christmas party comedians here, its a great experience.

This was actually a really cool venue! The downstairs is a bar/lounge so they let us wait for the show inside instead of waiting out in the cold. The upstairs floor is the venue and theres a balcony around the back and sides.

It was great with security and getting into the building but I would definitely suggest getting upgraded seats to sit down because in the balcony you cannot see if you are just standing in general admission. Also I wish they wouldve clarified more that certain sections were off limits cause people would go sit down and then the workers would have to tell them it was off limits and it was just a big hassle... the merch purchasing area was INSANE and it became a mosh pit. I wish it had been more organized.Other than that, it was actually super good and pretty good experience for the GA admission price

Great venue, music sounds great and every employee ive encountered has always been great. My only issues is the fees on their tickets are INSANE!! not sure if thats The Depots policy or who they sell through, either way its ridiculous. Q

Pretty cool place. Saw a Jai Wolf concert here, and it was a wonderful show. I love this venue because it is really low key and small, so there isn’t a ton of people pushing and moshing. I also love the two floors and he vibe here, great drinks and snacks for everyone over and under 21. Real old and antique looking. Parking is pretty cheap or free as well, but carpooling would be a good idea.

Probably the best small music venue out there! Went to see The Struts and it was a good experience.

The quality of this venue has declined sharply in recent years, bringing it from my favorite place to see a show in Salt Lake City to one I will most likely avoid. They have converted about 1/3 of the main floor into a table section you have to pay extra to sit at. The upstairs is apparently now a VIP section as well, so theres nowhere to sit without paying and it makes the front extra crowded and sweaty.

The Depot has the best bands that play here. Been to several shows and never had a problem. The service there is quick and prompt. Would highly recommend seeing bands you love when they are performing at The Depot.

Great venue, however live Nation that runs it overcharges on service fees to its patrons. Beyond that the venue is an amazing place and actually one of my favorites in this city.

Good atmosphere, have multiple floors, 1 bar on each floor that served alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Good sized stage and dance floor. Some tables and chairs.

While the box office hours and availability left a lot to be desired, the show staff, security and bartenders were great! I am excited to see more shows at this venue.

This place is so fun. We do a concert party ever year and its always a blast. Cozy environment and perfect for dancing.

Great venue. Very cozy. There is a bar inside.

Pretty nice spot! There are different floors so it can be a little tricky finding bathroom if it’s your first time there. And the bar does get a little packed during the show (but I think that’s to be expected haha).There is a balcony with its own bar and seat available upstairs. I went to see the dead south and the lightning and sound were great. For parking I just parked in the gateway parking garage, it only cost $7 for parking which I didn’t think was too bad. I stayed after a bit to talk with the opening bands and was the last one out, the bouncer didn’t rush me out either and waiting for me to even get water before i left. Will go back there again for more shows.

A great date night. Other then waiting in line. They should open doors early before the event starts. Other then that its a great place.

Awesome venue and definitely a good vibe. Saw the Nothing More concert with some good friends and it was an excellent night! Convenient parking right across the street and free water as well! It does get pretty hot in here but thats typical for an enclosed venue. Nice seating on the second floor and just a chill environment. Great place to see a concert.

Shows are always great. Lighting and sound is usually on point. Sometimes there is mic feedback but I think that is user error.

I’ve seen JessieJ, Years & Years, and a number of drag queens at this venue and it has always been a blast. If you have floor tickets always show up 30 min before door opening and you will have a spot right at the front.

Bar staff is great but not enough security around. I had a bad experience where several aggressive women starting assaulting and shoving me because the front of the floor near the stage was getting increasingly crowded and they weren’t pleased about it. This wasn’t at a punk show or anything where that type of behavior would be expected, it was a folk/world band. It was between sets and I looked to the front of the stage to see if I could shout to security for help but there was no one there. I won’t be returning to this venue, not even to see for my favorite bands. If you’re going to overcrowd the place you need to have sufficient security to make sure everyone is safe.

What a great venue! Roomy and there is a balcony although that area is usually reserved and costs more then GA.

Amazing venue, the drink prices are a bit steep but well made

Sound is great and the staff are friendly. They need to hire a maintenance man to make repairs in the bathroom. They could also use 3 or 4 more bartenders so it doesnt 20 minutes every time you order a drink.

Alter Bridge was amazing! The venue arrangement makes it hard to find a good viewing spot unless you pay a lot extra.

This venue has the best acoustics in this region! Small and more personal, bar had actually good drinks but also had bar food. Location is great with ample parking and nearby amenities. My only complaint is that we werent allowed to leave to take our merchandise to the car or get a different bite to eat nearby.

Amazing venue. Has the feel of a small underground club, but the capacity and infrastructure to comfortably house hundreds. Parking was nearby and free, staff was very friendly, and production quality is through the roof.

Ive been to several shows here and its become my favorite mid sized venue in Salt Lake City.Its a unique building that sits closely to i15. You actually attend shows on the 2nd & 3rd floors of the building. The 2nd floor is the ground level and merchandise is typically sold here by performing artists. The 3rd floor is balcony seating and where the main bar is. There is also a bar on the 1st floor that I believe is used for vip attendees.The place is clean and staffed with friendly employees.The only downside is parking can leave you with a bit of a walk.. Which isnt the most fun in cold weather.All in all, a great place with great vibes!

Great place to see live music from local talent to globally recognized acts, lots of killer rock shows

Good vibes, reasonable staff, beverages were limited, one elevator and plenty of stairs. Box Office opens on show nights a hour before show time or 6p which ever is first. Rock On!

One of the best places to see a show in Utah. Saw Gary Numan here and Stabbing Westward and both shows were fantastic. Good sound too.

Beware of the bait and switch... Great concert for an intimate atmosphere,but... We got there early to ensure a table or a seat on the rail to over look the stage, otherwise you have to watch on the TV screens to see the artists. To our surprise after paying $100 per ticket we were surprised to see that all seats and tables along with the areas that you could visibly see the stage were roped off and were available for an additional purchase. $150 per seat downstairs and $250 per seat upstairs! This was by far the most unprofessional situation Ive seen in all my years of going to concerts. I will never go here again.

Totally amazing night with the woman I love seeing her favorite band and making a beautiful night out of it

Cute area that is perfect for the fun neighborhood activities hosted here. We love it. The local painted rock group frequently hides beautifully painted rocks here that my kids love to find and rehide.

The sound and stage setup is awesome. The sound mix and audio is always great no matter who is playing

Fun and nice venue

First time here and I am hooked! My wife bought us tickets to see Clutch here and I couldnt have been happier. She bought the VIP upgrade so we had a place to sit, a table and our own bar tender. This made for a perfect night as the place was packed and getting a drink at the bar was always a long wait. If youre like me and want to enjoy the music and not the lines at the bar I would highly recommend paying the upgrade. Our bar tender, I wish I could remember her name right now, was one of the best Ive had ANYWHERE! Our drinks never went empty, she was always there to ask if we were ready for another before we were empty. When we arrived we were met by a gentleman that greeted us and escorted us to our VIP seats along with our VIP badges. Kinda made it feel like the part on Waynes World when they get escorted via back stage passes to see Alice Cooper :)! All three bands that played sounded amazing so even though Ive only been here once I was seriously impressed with the sound quality. Im seriously excited to go back for another show. BTW, Clutch was awesome!! If your a fan you need to go see them at least once, they put on a great show.

Extremely clean, comfortable venue with friendly staff. I sure hope theyre paying their acoustics people well, because they KILLED it with the sound quality when the Struts came to play. I will definitely be coming back to see more shows here!

Nice intimate venue. Amazing concert. No seating unless you pay for VIP. Closest public parking is at The Gateway.

Good place for concerts but need chairs on the floor for people to sit while convert os going

Seating is uncomfortable, cramped, with poor visibility. 7pm event on freezing windy Feb day actually started at 8pm, and doors didnt open until 7:20 when the Security theatre began - make us discard drinks then very untrained wanding for metal weapons, none of whicb was informed in advance, and meant I ended up waiting outside for over an hour. Show itself was okay, but way overpriced for the venue.

Great music venue. The sound system worked better then most venues Ive been in. It also stated relatively cool for a standing room only venue.

Love this place but wish they would add a few chairs around the lower floor perimeter

I love this place! Awesome shows, nice drinks and they have awesome service here!

I love this place. Its a smaller venue, but that just allows for more intimate shows. They also have a variety of genres represented. Good atmosphere.

Went to see Grace Vanderwaal and my daughter is in a wheelchair. We got the VIP tickets ADA seating not so great. The security team noticed it wasnt so great. They actually made people move so they could move the wall and she was able to see the stage. HUGE THANKS for making her night!! Grace was amazing!!

It was good so small and crowded but although it was good to see my favorite band.

Great live music venue, sound is excellent and there isnt a bad place to watch the show anywhere in the building. Its always extra incentive for me to go to a show when its at the Depot.

Great small venue to catch a concert. Up close and personal.

Good sound system and ambiance. A bit packed but not to the point of feeling overheated by the crowd.

Very well executed all ages show. Love this place for bringing interesting shows to the 801.

Probably the nicest smaller venue in salt lake, but ataff can seem stuck up and rude sometimes

Great concert venue! The food is great, sound system is awesome & staff is great.
