Perhaps the late, great Dead Goat Saloon would qualify, but one thing missing from Utah culture was a legit rockin’ roadhouse, so Bob McCarthy decided to create one. He did so by turning what was the Jimax Lounge on State Highway 89 in North Salt Lake into the Garage on Beck, which has become a treasured piece of Americana in an unlikely spot - surrounded by a junkyard and oil … [Read more...]
