Cinco de Mayo: What to Drink This Year

Posted on by Elle-Blogs

Cinco de Mayo (May 5) is a vibrant celebration of Mexican culture, especially in the U.S. At Bout Time Pub & Grub, we’re dedicated to honoring that spirit with tacos, margaritas, and a variety of great food, cold beer, and a festive atmosphere that brings people together.

So let’s raise a glass—preferably filled with tequila—and dive into the history and traditions of Cinco de Mayo, and what we’re pouring this year at Bout Time.

What is Cinco de Mayo?

Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico’s Independence Day (that’s in September). Instead, it commemorates the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when a vastly outnumbered Mexican army defeated French forces, uplifting Mexican morale and national pride. 

It’s a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla with parades, speeches, and reenactments of the 1862 battle. Yet the date has taken on a life of its own in the U.S. since the 1960s, when Mexican beer and other products began to be marketed here. It’s become a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride—marked with parades, music, dancing, traditional food, and, of course, a good drink or two. 

Tequila: The Star of the Show

This year, consider what you’re choosing to sip. Small-batch tequilas are handcrafted using traditional methods, high-quality agave, and a focus on purity and flavor. They’re smooth, complex, and perfect for both sipping and mixing.

Here are a few tequila insights:

Blanco tequila is unaged and characterized by a bright, clean agave flavor. It’s great for refreshing margaritas or tequila sodas.

Reposado is aged in oak barrels for a few months, resulting in a smooth and slightly oaky flavor—perfect for sipping or in a smoked margarita.

Añejo & extra añejo are aged even longer, meaning these tequilas will taste rich and caramel-kissed. They are often compared to fine whiskeys and are ideal for sipping neat.

Infused and flavored tequilas are getting creative with natural infusions, such as jalapeño, hibiscus, or citrus. They’re ideal for spicy margaritas or something a little different.

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Bout Time

Cinco de Mayo is a chance to celebrate culture, community, and maybe discover your new favorite tequila or margarita while you’re at it. So mark your calendar, gather your crew, and head to your local Bout Time Pub & Grub for a celebration that’s equal parts flavor and fun.
At every Bout Time location, we strive to do things right—offering good food, great company, and drinks that hit the spot. That’s why we’re pouring plenty of Mexican beer and some of the best tequilas you can find, along with a killer plate of nachos and some Cinco de Mayo food specials. Join us for a great time, there’s something for everyone at Bout Time this Cinco de Mayo.

Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Bout Time

Posted on by Juliette

Fifteen years ago, a humble sports bar named Bout Time Pub & Grub opened its doors to Salt Lake. Fast forward to today, and Bout Time has become a beloved destination across the state, bringing sports fans together to celebrate victories, share defeats, and create lasting memories.


“Fifteen years ago, I embarked on a lifelong dream: to bring structure and heart to a mom-and-pop pub and grub,” Bout Time founder and co-owner Joe Fraser reminisces. “As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to expanding and evolving our business, which all began in a small corner of a mall in West Jordan, Utah. We look forward to many more years of serving our community with the same love and care that started it all.”

Celebrate with Bout Time!

Whether you’re a die-hard regular or someone who hasn’t experienced Bout Time yet, now is the perfect time to join the celebration. The original Bout Time location in West Jordan will host an anniversary party on the weekend of Sep 28-29. Look for featured drinks and food offered the entire weekend, along with a cake, swag, and giveaways.

The 15th-anniversary fun got started with an NFL party in association with Bud Light during the opening NFL season game featuring the Kansas City Chiefs, who played an AFC title rematch against the Baltimore Ravens. During that party, lucky attendees won tickets to the Post Malone concert at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater.

Bout Time Beginnings

Bout Time all started with Fraser’s dream to create a space where sports fans could come together to watch games, enjoy delicious food, and have a great time with friends. 

Fraser’s focus from day one was to provide scratch-made food that was far above average bar food. “Through a dedication to scratch cooking—free of microwaves and freezers—we’ve crafted a unique dining pub experience that reflects our passion for quality,” he explains.

From classics like specialty wings and pizza, Bout Time introduced gourmet burgers, salads, and a brunch menu that satisfies the diverse palates of our patrons.

Unforgettable Games

One of Bout Time’s most significant draws has always been its game day atmosphere. Whether it’s the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, or a local college match-up, Bout Time has consistently provided a welcoming environment that enhances every fan’s experience. High-definition screens, surround sound, and the camaraderie of fellow sports lovers make every game unforgettable.

The Staff Behind the Magic

Behind every great business is a dedicated team that makes it all happen. The staff at Bout Time, from the bartenders to the kitchen crew, are instrumental in creating the warm, welcoming atmosphere that our patrons rave about. Their hard work, passion, and commitment to excellence are the reason why Bout Time has thrived for 15 years.

Community Engagement

As Bout Time grew, individual locations have become pillars of the community. We’re proud to provide local sports team sponsorships and support the community as part of being a good neighbor and our commitment to giving back to those who support us.

Future Plans and Innovations

Looking ahead, Bout Time has exciting plans for the future. From expanding to new locations to continuing to support local communities, Bout Time is always looking for ways to enhance its offerings for sports fans for years to come.

Fifteen years of Bout Time signifies years of community building, memorable moments, and unwavering dedication to a great experience. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to be a part of our story. Come down to Bout Time, where every game is a celebration, and every visit feels like coming home.

 Kentucky Derby 2024: 150 Years of Fast Horses and Fancy Hats

Posted on by Dan Eckersley

Welcome to the Kentucky Derby, one of the most illustrious events in the horse racing world and an annual celebration of speed, elegance, and tradition. If terms like “run for the roses,” “my old Kentucky home,” and “twin spires” make your heart race faster than the steeds galloping down the track, you’re among friends here in this digital paddock. This year’s Kentucky Derby promises extra thrills as the event celebrates its 150th anniversary on May 4. 

Before the 2024 running of the “greatest two minutes in sports” unfolds, let’s take a moment to understand the millinery on display, the vibrant culture of the Bluegrass State, and all the history that comes with the spectacle that is the Kentucky Derby!

Run for The Roses: History and Tradition

The Kentucky Derby, begun in 1875, stands as the oldest continuously held major sports event in the United States. The top three-year-old thoroughbreds gather here to run the first race of the Triple Crown and many horses, riders, and owners attempt to carve their name in history.

The Twin Spires, an iconic architectural feature of Churchill Downs, lend an aura of majesty to the already regal setting. Each year, on the first Saturday in May, the sound of hooves thunder around the 1.25-mile oval and the tales of the Kentucky Derby are replete with stories of grit and greatness. The garland of red roses, bestowed upon the Derby victor, is a fragrant and colorful reward of speed and spirit.

Derby Culture

The Kentucky Derby is more than just a two-minute race; it’s an annual cultural phenomenon filled with food, music, and festivity. From the soulful rendition of My Old Kentucky Home to the mint juleps drinkers smiling for the paparazzi, the Derby is a sensory adventure. The aromas of Southern cuisine drift through the air; people mingle from every corner of the globe; and the air is heavy with a shared love of horses and history. The cultural significance of the Derby extends beyond Kentucky, influencing art, literature, and American identity.

The Style Stakes: A Runway at the Rails

The Kentucky Derby exemplifies Southern charm and elegance, and where there’s a prestigious event, there’s impeccable dress to match. The centerpiece of Derby fashion is the hat—a tradition that goes back to the race’s beginnings. These hats are not just protection from the sun, they’re statement-making. Whether it’s a towering showstopper adorned with feathers, a dainty fascinator, or a wide-brimmed sun catcher, Derby ensemble isn’t complete without a hat that turns heads and attracts the camera.

Walking the grounds of Churchill Downs is akin to a high-society gala—where you’ll find a rainbow of pastel suits and extravagant dresses. The traditional attire, replete with seersucker suits, linen dresses, and the quintessential mint julep in hand, paints a picture of timeless elegance and revelry.

The First Jewel in the Triple Crown

The Triple Crown, a feat achieved when a horse wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes in a single year, is the Everest of American horse racing. Despite the Derby’s pageantry, it’s just the first step in a potential three-part epic. Throughout the three races, viewers will often witness a battle between speed and endurance, with some horses bred for sprinting taking on the classic distance, while others, built for stamina, may surprise with an explosive burst of speed. It’s this very drama that mesmerizes millions of onlookers.

The Preakness, with its black-eyed Susans and infield revelry, offers a contrast in atmosphere with its more compact field and shorter distance. But it is the Belmont, the Test of the Champion, that separates the Triple Crown aspirants from the pretenders, with its grueling 1.5-mile oval.

Only thirteen horses in the history of American thoroughbred racing have captured the Triple Crown, the last being Justify in 2018. It’s this history that makes the Kentucky Derby more than a mere race. Every Derby winner carries with them the potential for Triple Crown greatness and the haunting specter of Secretariat, who ran each leg in record time.

Win, Place, Show

Who will be the talk of the Kentucky Derby this year? When the bell rings and the field charges forth, the early frontrunners often make for a safe bet, but the Derby is also known for its upsets and unexpected victors. It’s a day where fortune favors the bold—and sometimes—just the lucky.

As the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby plays out, we invite you to join us in raising a toast to the horses and the fashion, the jockeys in the irons, and the owners in their boxes who make the first Saturday of May a thrilling moment in sport every year. 

A Sports Fans’ Guide to the Winter X Games Aspen 2024

Posted on by Dan Eckersley

By Heather King

If you’re a sports enthusiast looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush, then the Winter X Games are the perfect event for you! This extreme winter sports event was created in 1997 and has been held annually ever since. The Winter X Games are the premier event in extreme sports, and they showcase the skills of the world’s most talented winter athletes. Let’s learn more about the history of the Winter X Games and highlight some of the most exciting actions featured in the event.

History of the Winter X Games

The Winter X Games were first held in 1997 in Big Bear Lake, California, and have grown in popularity ever since. The event was created by ESPN as a way to showcase extreme winter sports and the athletes who compete in them. The first Winter X Games showcased five different sports and have now become one of the most popular extreme sports events in the world. Since 2002, Aspen, Colorado, has been the home of X Games, and 2024 will be the 23rd consecutive year that X Games has been held at the town’s Buttermilk Resort.

X Games Aspen 2024

Athletes in the X Games Aspen 2024 will compete in 16 disciplines across ski and snowboard sports. Men’s and women’s divisions in Slopestyle, Big Air, SuperPipe, and Knuckle Huck will be featured January 26-28, 2024.

The Big Air competition is always a fan favorite and features a 300-foot-long course with a massive 75-foot hybrid jump. Skiers and snowboarders launch themselves into the air to perform incredible tricks and stunts. Their performance is judged on difficulty, height, and style, and is always thrilling to watch.

Slopestyle runs a 1,700-foot-long course with a verticle drop of 290 feet. Competitors are judged on amplitude, execution, difficulty, variety and landings, and use of the seven features (specially designed jumps, rails, boxes, and other obstacles) on the course.

Competitors who excel in SuperPipe link tricks from wall-to-wall on the 567-foot-long halfpipe. SuperPipe is judged on combinations, flow, difficulty, amplitude, and execution across the 66-foot-wide pipe with 22-foot vertical walls.

Of all the events at the Winter X Games, Knuckle Huck might be the most unfamiliar. The Knuckle Huck competition is held on the Big Air course, but it’s used differently. Unlike the other timed events at X Games, knuckle huck is more freestyle, and competitors utilize the deck, rollover (knuckle), and landing area to perform their maneuvers—requiring precision, technique, and creativity. Knuckle Huck is judged on originality, difficulty, creativity, style, and trajectory.

Watch for these Thrilling Moments

Several firsts for the Winter X Games are expected this year. Women will join men in individual medal events in both ski and snowboard Knuckle Huck competitions. This comes after snowboarder Jamie Anderson competed alongside the men in 2021. 

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, the 21-year-old New Zealand snowboarder who took double gold last year when she landed back-to-back double corks, hopes to win double gold again. 

Calling Utah home after attending high school in Park City, 24-year-old Alex Hall will attempt to medal in four skiing disciplines after taking home Big Air gold, Slopestyle bronze, and Knuckle Huck bronze last year.

It’s sure to be an action-packed event to wrap up in January. 

Tune In to Winter X Games Aspen 2024

The ultimate thrill for winter sports enthusiasts, the Winter X Games Aspen showcases some of the world’s most talented and daring athletes as they push themselves to the limit. These events are not just about the competition but also about inspiring the next generation of winter sports athletes. The Winter X Games continue to evolve and grow, bringing new athletes and events to the forefront each year. So, if you’re looking for an action-packed event that will get your heart racing, pull up a seat at any of our neighborhood locations to watch this year’s Winter X Games from Aspen, Colorado 

January 26-28.

History and Highlights of the Utah Jazz 

Posted on by Dan Eckersley

Calling Utah home for more than four decades, the Utah Jazz have made their mark on the National Basketball Association (NBA) and fans the world over. With a record of 30 playoff appearances and two NBA Finals appearances, the Jazz have delivered some of the league’s most “nothing but net” moments, many of which were made possible by talented players and coaches. Join us as we tip off and revel in the most memorable moments and faces of the Utah Jazz.

The History of the Jazz

It’s well known that the Utah Jazz basketball team started as the New Orleans Jazz on April 22, 1974. The team name was, of course, synonymous with the famous jazz music played in New Orleans. They called New Orleans home for five seasons until the team was sold to a group of businessmen in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1979. The team became the Utah Jazz on June 26, 1979. 

While there was little connection to the music the team was originally named to celebrate, the double “z” of Jazz was carried forward into nearly every semi- or professional sports team name to call Utah home over the following decades.

The Utah Dream Team

The Utah Jazz have seen some great players wearing its colors over the years including Mark Eaton, Jeff Hornacek, and Deron Williams—with John Stockton and Karl Malone being two of the most important players in the team’s history. Stockton played 19 seasons with the Jazz and finished his career as the league’s all-time leading assist and steals leader. Malone played 16 seasons with the Jazz, and remembered as one of the best power forwards in NBA history. 

No team can exist without a great coach and Jerry Sloan was a legendary one. Sloan coached the Utah Jazz for 23 seasons and during his tenure was instrumental in the development of Stockton and Malone. Under his leadership, Stockton to Malone and the Utah Jazz made two NBA Finals appearances in 1997 and 1998. 

Dunking on some Utah Jazz Memorable Moments

Of all the games played by the Utah Jazz, the 1997 NBA Finals against the Chicago Bulls still stands as one of the most memorable series. The Jazz, led by Karl Malone and John Stockton, were on the cusp of their first NBA title but lost to Michael Jordan and the Bulls in six games. 

More recently, in 2021, the Utah Jazz ended the NBA regular season with the leagues’ best record that landed them in the number one seed. Led by all-star Donovan Mitchell and the league’s Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert, the Jazz headed into the playoffs strong and ready. 

Let’s Make Some Noise for our Utah Jazz!

The Utah Jazz have seen plenty of time in the paint over the years. Although the team has yet to win an NBA championship, Jazz fans are lucky to have watched some of the most talented and entertaining basketball players to ever hit the court. 

As the team enters a new season, it’s time to grab your Jazz jersey and head over to your nearest neighborhood location and cheer on the Jazz with us!

Vodka: Historical Facts and Popular Drinks 

Posted on by Dan Eckersley

Although you might be familiar with vodka, that neutral spirit that can spike just about any beverage, what do you actually know about vodka? Today, we’re pouring some fascinating vodka facts. Not only will we be exploring vodka’s interesting history, but we’ll also be sharing some of our most popular vodka drinks. From classic martinis to trendy Moscow Mules, we’re covering it all. So grab a drink and let’s get started.

Vodka Origins

While vodka is most commonly associated with Russia and Eastern Europe, it’s now produced and enjoyed worldwide. The word “vodka” actually comes from the Russian word “voda,” which means water. Indeed, this clear and crisp spirit is primarily made of water and ethanol alcohol distilled from grains, potatoes and even grapes. 

Most experts agree that vodka dates back to at least the 14th century. In Russia, vodka was considered a symbol of national pride and was often used for medicinal purposes. The famous vodka brand Smirnoff was originally created in Moscow by Pyotr Smirnov in 1864. 

However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that vodka became a staple of the American drinking scene. In the 1950s and 60s, vodka was directly marketed to women who were looking for an alternative to heavy whiskey cocktails as a glamorous and sophisticated drink.

In 2020, the law defining what is legally vodka in America was updated to reflect changing tastes and the innovate spirit of craft distillers. Still, since vodka is known for being “neutral” in taste, it’s one of the most utilized spirits in a vast collection of delicious cocktail recipes. 

Classic Vodka Drinks

One of the most famous vodka drinks is, of course, the martini. Whether James Bond shaken or stirred, this simple cocktail is made with vodka, vermouth, and an olive or twist of lemon. 

Weekend football (and brunch) fans always love a classic Bloody Mary, which typically consists of vodka, tomato juice, spices, and garnishes like celery and olives. 

Looking for something a bit more refreshing? The Moscow Mule has become a heavy favorite in the past few years. Made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, this cocktail is served in a chilled copper mug.

Of course, there are plenty of other popular vodka drinks out there. The Cosmopolitan, made famous by the TV show “Sex and the City,” is a sweet and tangy mix of vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and lime juice. The Espresso Martini is a rich and indulgent cocktail made with vodka, fresh espresso, Kahlua, and simple syrup. And for those who prefer something a bit milder, the vodka soda or vodka tonic with a splash of lime are classic low-calorie options.

As vodka has grown in popularity, so have its variations. Flavored vodkas ranging from fruity and sweet to spicy and savory abound. Additionally, higher-end vodkas are now being filtered multiple times and made with premium ingredients. Whether you prefer a classic, no-frills vodka or something a bit more complex and robust, there’s definitely a vodka for everyone.

We hope you enjoyed this brief tour of the world of vodka and found it refreshing. Whether you’re sipping a classic martini or trying a wildly flavored vodka, we invite you to head over to your nearest neighborhood location and raise a glass with us!

Paws on the Patio: Dog Etiquette Tips for Enjoying Bout Time Pub and Grub’s Outdoor Seating

Posted on by Dan Eckersley

Recent studies show more than 48 million American households own a dog. When we hit the town and go out for a bite to eat, many of us look for dog-friendly pubs so we can bring our best friend. If you’re bringing your dog along, knowing dog etiquette is essential.

But what is dog etiquette, and why should it concern you? From leash manners to obedience, there’s plenty to know about dining out with your dog. Read on for a few tips on ensuring you can enjoy the Bout Time Pub & Grub ambiance.

Leash Manners

The first thing you should familiarize yourself with is leash manners. You may believe your dog is trained well enough that you don’t need a leash. While many dogs are trained enough to avoid the leash, you’ll still need to bring one while dining out with your dog.

You can’t control what other dogs do when you’re in a situation that features outdoor seating with dogs. Though your best friend may be on their best behavior, having them on a leash can help you in a bad situation. Should another dog that isn’t trained well enough begin interacting with yours, the leash will help you get your pup out of the problem if necessary.

In many situations, even the most well-trained dogs will need a leash. Keep your pup on a leash so you can easily handle them if needed.

Claim Your Spot

When it comes to outdoor seating with dogs, your seating is critical. Consider arriving before the main crowds so you can find a good seat.

A good seat for your pub includes sitting out of the easy reach of others. That way, your dog isn’t tempted to sniff everyone walking or sitting near you.

Doggy Dining

If you’re eating, your dog may need to as well! You’ll enjoy dog-friendly pubs more if you aren’t eating alone.

Ensure you bring snacks and a bowl of food for your dog. If they’re satiated, they’re less likely to act up or sniff after others. Bring a bowl for water as well, particularly during the summer heat.

Mind the Noise

Patios can get loud, and dogs tend to add to the noise. If your dog has a penchant for barking, it may begin to disrupt the outdoor space.

While a bark or two won’t ruin the ambiance, you must control your dog if they begin barking. Should your dog become too disruptive, it may ruin your meal.

Cleaning Up

Finally, dogs don’t quite have the same bathroom manners as us. It’s paramount that you let them relieve themselves before going to a restaurant.

Still, accidents happen. Make sure you’re carrying waste bags to handle any emergencies. Should your animal need to relieve itself, you must clean up the waste to maintain a pleasant and healthy environment.

Mastering Dog Etiquette

Understanding dog etiquette means letting your dog get used to socializing and wearing a leash. You should ensure your pup is trained and will follow any commands you may need to give them. With the proper training, you and your best friend can make the most of Bout Time Pub & Grub’s outdoor seating.
