BEST SUGAR BOWL TEAM

No sooner was it announced that the University of Utah would be playing in the Sugar Bowl than two of Utah’s best Ute sports bars—Lumpys on Highland Drive and Fiddler’s Elbow in Sugar House—teamed up and took their show of support on the road. Literally.

The two Utah private clubs gave fans a place to party on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street by taking over Bourbon Cowboy nightclub and making it Ute central. Redone in Utah red (including Utah Sugar Bowl neon signs) with banners and beer flowing equally, Utah fans were made to feel at home at the Bourbon Cowboy—with one major exception: Nobody was asked for a club membership. No wonder everyone was in a good mood. Thanks, guys.
