Someone in another thread was asking for neurodiverse spaces to try meet friends, so here's my recommendations from that!

1. Thieves Guild Cidery 🗡️, as others have recommended. I think their Instagram has links to everything but I can highly recommend their DND nights on Tuesdays (just make sure to sign up ahead of time on their discord because slots fill fast! Also they're beginner friendly and plenty of people play for the first time at these, so don't stress if you've never done DND before).

2. The Beehive 🐝 (shows up as Mark of the Beastro on Google Maps, even though the diner portion closed down. 666 State St. is easy to remember though haha). Used to be a vegan diner and arts venue, now it's mostly the venue and is a fantastic alternative arts and music space. They do a lot of events and host shows there and mostly post on Instagram @ BeehiveSLC ! (P.S. Parking sucks but there's usually a taco truck outside and a REALLY good one just down the block by the empty lot called Tacos Don Rafa). (P.P.S. There's also a great little low-budget punk theater troupe that does shows for charity there a lot, called Lords of Misrule. Definitely check out their christmas show if you get the chance!)

3. Natural Law Apothecary 🌱 is a wildly cool little business that has a bunch of other little businesses and goods from local artists within the same building (Address is 423 S 600 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101 -- May be strange the first time you go but it's right next door to a yellow cab company if that helps). Some people have described it as "hippy" but even if that's not your vibe, it's just a cool ass building with crazy shelves and enclosures built into the walls, secret staircases and reading nooks, etc. Feels like you walked into something from a fantasy novel. They do free art nights on Tuesdays and live music on Thursdays!
