After surrendering its liquor license in March, an iconic and historic Salt Lake City gay bar has a license once again.

The Sun Trapp received a new liquor license on Thursday.after surrendering its liquor license in MarchThe Sun Trapp was granted a bar license Thursday at the Utah liquor commission’s monthly meeting, along with Blues Katz Rock n Roll Grill, a restaurant in St. George that features live bands.
While the department was beginning that process, The Sun Trapp surrendered its license, rendering the investigation moot, Schmitt said. Blues Katz has a history of two violations. In July 2023, the restaurant was cited for having more than two alcoholic beverages in front of a patron at one time and for allowing patrons to consume alcohol away from the table. In December 2023, the restaurant was cited for serving alcohol to patrons who weren’t seated and didn’t have an intent to dine.Cade Meier, deputy director of the DABS, said Thursday that the new downtown liquor store at 300 South and Edison Street will open Monday at 11 a.
The DABS is obligated to record its financial activities in the state’s accounting general ledger system, called FINET, “to facilitate financial reporting and proper oversight,” the report read. Most of the DABS’ finances are first recorded in its own accounting system, called D365, but the two systems can’t currently share information automatically, the report stated.
The audit also found that the DABS wasn’t following up when licensees received a liquor license but didn’t start actually selling alcohol for a “significant time,” the report read.”DABS should actively monitor when licensees begin to sell liquor and follow up on delays” whenever there is a scarcity of licenses, the report stated.
In response to the audit’s findings, DABS director Tiffany Clason said at Thursday’s meeting, “Anything that is more automated, it reduces error. It reduces any liability or errors that could be seen as a result of that human intervention and that manual intervention.”
