The co-owners of Curiosity, a nonalcoholic bar in Salt Lake City, are calling on the community for help after sales plummeted during monthslong construction in front of their small 900 South business.

“I know that that is not a longterm solution by any means,” she said, “but that will really help to create a cushion for me so that I can have the space and time to restructure the business in a more sustainable way.”

The past year has been “difficult” for the bar, which opened in May 2022, Plewe said. And she’s heard similar things from other business owners on their block, which isConstruction near Curiosity started around October, and things got especially bad when workers started ripping up the street, she said. Their sales were practically cut in half, and people have had a hard time even finding the bar.

Plewe said Curiosity already received one of those $3,000 grants this summer, but it covers “a very small portion” of their losses, she said. But construction to the east of their storefront, from 200 East to 500 East, will continue through the rest of the year, the city announced, as crews work to finish the 3-mile “9-Line Trail” to connect 9th and 9th and Liberty Park through Central 9th to Poplar Grove and Jordan Park.
