3 Best Bars in Park City and the Wasatch Back, Park City and the Southern Wasatch

Background Illustration for Nightlife

In a state where nearly every town was founded by Mormons who eschewed alcohol and anything associated with it, Park City has always been an exception. Founded by miners with healthy appetites for whiskey and gambling, Park City has been known since its mining heyday as Utah’s "Sin City." The miners are gone, but their legacy lives on in this town that has far more bars per capita than any other place in Utah.

No Name Saloon

Fodor's Choice

A Park City favorite anchoring Main Street's nightlife, this is a classic wood-backed bar with lots of memorabilia, a shuffleboard table, and a regular local clientele. The upstairs outdoor deck is great for enjoying cool summer nights, but heaters in the winter make this deck comfortable year-round. The eclectic decor looks like everything was purchased at a flea market, in the best way possible. If you are looking for some late-night grub, No Name has the best buffalo burgers in town.

Boneyard Saloon and Kitchen

This hot spot is in a somewhat unlikely place—in fact, you might think you're lost as you pull into the industrial-looking area in Prospector. But its off-Main location means it's popular with the locals, and ample parking is a huge plus. TVs lining the wall and a special weekend breakfast menu have made Boneyard the new go-to for Sunday football, and the rooftop deck has stunning views of the mountains. A sister restaurant of No Name on Main Street, Boneyard features beers on tap and an extensive bottle list. Head next door to Wine Dive (same ownership) to find 16 wines on tap and artisan pizza.

The Spur Bar and Grill

If you are looking for live music, look no further than The Spur, which hosts bands seven nights a week. A renovation in 2016 more than doubled the size of The Spur, adding two additional bar areas and a Main Street entrance. The front room provides a lively bar atmosphere; head upstairs if you want to hear your conversation. The back room is where you'll find the live music and the dancing. A full kitchen means breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served until 10 pm.
