Today is National Dive Bar Day! We want to give a huge shout out to Willie Goldberg, the founder of Willie’s Lounge! Established in 1948, we’re Salt Lake’s oldest dive bar!

Willie’s great granddaughter stopped in a few months ago and shared some original pictures of the bar that we’ve never seen!

1st - from 1989
2nd - from 1976 (our back bar is still the original that you see in this photo!)
3rd - Willie himself!
4th - Sarah and Willie, date unknown
5th - a Budweiser delivery on Main, complete with the Clydesdales in 1952.
6th - plaque on our patio in remembrance

Fun fact - Sarah (Willie’s wife) did the cooking and Willie was the bartender and bouncer since he was a boxer!

Thank you for giving us this piece of Salt Lake history, Willie!
