Three bars to try on Salt Lake City' s Main Street

Yes, but: That makes a night on the town all the more exciting, as my husband and I found out. This weekend, we spent our anniversary pub crawling on Main Street. The street between 400 South and South Temple is closed to traffic on weekend afternoons, giving pedestrians plenty of room to stumble and veer as needed. Here are some Main Street highlights:
1 CarnEvil at Quarters Arcade Bar
Quarters Arcade Bar has dozens of video games and 20 pinball machines. Photo: Erin Alberty/Axios In a with close to three dozen video games, CarnEvil was my favorite by far. Tip: It's 50 cents per player, so be sure to put in all four quarters before starting a two-person game. The Breakfast Club cocktail ($11) is the best accompaniment for a shooting game with ghosts, zombies, and almost no need for accuracy.
2 Alibi' s mezcal concoctions

It's loaded with fresh ingredients and looks more like a fruit stand than a tavern. • Try the Palermo Soho ($13) or Bad Orchestra ($13) for a fantastic blend of fruit and smoke.
3 Oyster shooters at White Horse
