Restaurants and Bars Close to the Outdoor Retailer Show

Salt Lake City is gearing up for the largest outdoor industry gathering in the world.  The Summer Outdoor Retailer Show takes place from August 3-6, 2010 at the Salt Palace, Salt Lake City’s Convention Center, and brings in over 20,000 attendees including retailers, brands, and media.

Although a private affair, some events are open to the public such as the Unified Bouldering Championship Pro Tour and Gibbon Slacklining Events.

For conference attendees here are some recommended restaurants and bars within walking distance from the Salt Palace.  If you are not part of the show you may just want to steer clear of downtown restaurants for the week.
