The Sun Trapp

The Sun Trapp has been a staple in the Salt Lake City gay community since 1991. This locally owned and operated business is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all, with great drinks and food at an affordable price. Whether you’re looking to dance the night away or just relax with friends, The Sun Trapp is the place for you.

Founding The Sun Tavern in 1973, Joe Redburn was a trailblazer in our community. Under Redburn's stewardship, The Sun became more than just a bar; it transformed into a sanctuary — a safe and nurturing space for those seeking belonging and acceptance. Just as a suntrap is a space that captures light and warmth, fostering growth and vitality, The Sun Tavern, now known as The Suntrapp, has continued to be a haven for its patrons for over 50 years. It remains a vibrant environment where our community thrives and flourishes, reflecting the enduring legacy of Joe Redburn's vision and care.
