This is the bar area. What fun! I did a little filming too: [ youtube video ]
The late Garth and Laura Chamberlain purchased the cave in 1951 and turned it into southern Utah’s first dance hall and bar. Furthermore, during the week, one could grab a bite to eat and something cool to drink at their fully functional bar. Live bands would come play on Friday and Saturday nights, making it an area hotspot.
Garth & Laura Chamberlain
Owner from:1951-1988
Garth and Laura were the original founders of Moqui Cave. Garth grew up in Southern Utah and was always fascinated by the histories that surround the area. It led him to studied Geology, Archaeology, and Paleontology, at Brigham Young University. He started collecting at a young age and never stopped. On display are he and Laura's collections and life work .
Chamberlain holds the distinction of being the first Brigham Young University football player to be drafted into the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the 17th Round (151st overall) in the 1942 draft. He played one year for the Steelers, then went on to the Salt Lake Seagulls the Beehive State’s only foray into professional football.
