We bought tickets 3 weeks ago to Mardi Gras Mambo 2022 through AXS Mobile. When we entered, they informed us that we needed either proof of vaccination or a current COVID test showing a negative result. All three of us have been fully vaccinated, and one of us has also had it. One of us happened to have our vaccination card. They suggested we could go pick up a home test and then take the test in front of them and if it came up negative, we could enter. As we stood there trying to figure out what to do, one of the patrons huffed, opened the door and said, Okay, let's go! We've been to many local businesses in the Salt Lake area and have only ever been asked to wear masks. But we drove to a Walgreens to purchase two self tests. At $30 each, the cost of our night out tripled. We opted to bail on the concert. On the upside, it's good to know that the staff at Commonwealth Room have extensive expertise in public health and no doubt saved many lives that evening. On the downside, their paranoia ruined our evening. We won't be back to Commonwealth Room.

We went to the Commonwealth Room for the first time this week. We saw Chris Robinson of the Black Crows. It is a wonderful small venue. The drinks are very reasonable. It is a great place to see a concert. We will definitely go back!

Awesome new venue in SLC. Arrive early if you want a seat. Perfect location around hotels and restaurants.
