Here is your opportunity to support local LGBTQ+ artists and musicians and to spend money during pride on locals that put rainbows on stuff instead of huge corporations that put rainbows on stuff.

Along with countless other events, the Monarch hosts a Pride Kick Off! Which features a local artists and music and vendor market, great food and cute people (I mean, I'll be there). If you are here during Pride (you should be) I suggest you stop by the Monarch (yes, I did mention this already, it's that good). You’ll get to learn a new skill while working off those brunch calories. The Front offers indoor rock climbing on every level, from closeted climbing enthusiasts to fully out experts. Activitiesįor those for whom the call of adventure speaks, but the amenities of downtown call louder, a trip to The Front Climbing Gym will be on par (sports joke if you get it). Now if you brunch like I do I know that you may need to relax before we jump into the next good time (enough with college nicknames), lucky for you downtown Ogden is very walkable either back to your hotel or to the Municipal Garden near the Ogden Amphitheater where large trees offer a nice, shaded relaxation spot. After you can take a stroll through The Monarch and view many of Ogden’s local artists and their work, or make a personalized candle (for the inevitable personal rebrand you’ve been contemplating) at the Art Box (that was my nickname in college but again, later) and view the area’s public murals outside. This wine bar and restaurant with dishes like the Fig & Pig (a fig and fresh honey bruschetta I highly recommend) and lattes in mugs that require two hands and an Instagram photo shoot. inside one of the community’s public art centers, The Monarch. With tater tots available all times of day and a plant-based menu for those of you who actually try to diet on vacation, this is a great place for a Sunday brunch. The Ogden Train Wreck (this is also my nickname in high school, but we can discuss this later). For brunch there are two musts.įirst is Harp and Hound located in the old courthouse downtown, this gastropub has one of my personal favorite drinks of all time. Stay as long as you like but know there is too much to see and too much do to spend all day at your brunch place, you will get FOMO. A morning libation is a perfect way to know you are here for a good time and not a long time. BrunchĪll vacations (as well as Sundays) should include brunch. For your convenience I have divided up my recommendations into four, equally important, categories, brunch, (duh), activities, iced coffee, and nightlife. Believe it or not, you can and will find that in Ogden. As tacky as I find the rainbow color scheme, the sign of a rainbow flag shows me I am safe in that place of business. When searching for a vacation spot, members of the alphabet elite (I am just getting started on these names) quite often gravitate towards coastal states and large cities for obvious signs of LGBTQ+ inclusion.

A state known for, well fewer rainbows than one might expect despite the occasional flood. Ogden is, and always will be, located in Utah. Let’s talk about the extremely well-dressed elephant in the room. This is your Gay’s Guide to Ogden Summer. I am here to set the record gay, (not straight, that would be homophobic) from the can’t miss brunch spots to the best breweries (for the lesbians). Les-be honest, you don’t think of it as a top destination for those of us who claim a letter in the LGBTQ+ community. Not necessarily known for men hugging other men. Known for its outdoor recreation, historical downtown and amazing bars, and eateries. Nestled just North of Salt Lake City and hugging the mighty Wasatch Mountain Range you will find Ogden, Utah. Born and raised here (besides that brief sabbatical in college) I love this town almost as much as I love brunch.
