The Best Après-Ski Spots in Park City

Click out of those bindings and raise a glass at these slopeside—and in-town—watering holes.

By Jenny Willden October 19, 2023

THE sun is shining, and the snow is mighty fine. After a day out on the slopes in Park City, it's time to bask in the après scene. Here are a few favorite spots to raise a glass. Plus four more.

Looking for a more comprehensive bar guide? We've got you covered.


The Bridge Cafe & Grill

Town Lift

When you ski Quittin’ Time, it’s drinking time. This run takes you all the way to Historic Main Street and dead ends at the Brazilian American Bridge Cafe & Grill. Located next to Park City’s Town Lift, this restaurant boasts a spectacularly sunny patio overlooking the slopes, adjacent to Main’s hustle and bustle. Sip the signature Brazilian caipirinha, hot toddy, or keep it basic with a Utah craft beer.

825 Main St, Ste 20

RIME Seafood and Raw Bar

Deer Valley

While we would typically steer you away from seafood in a landlocked mountain town, RIME, the world’s only slopeside raw bar, is the exception to the rule. Located at the top of Deer Valley’s Jordanelle Gondola in a refurbished cabin, RIME’s oyster happy hour doles out oysters on the half shell for $3. If oysters aren’t your jam, try the wicked good lobster rolls and chowder. And, of course, pair with bubbles, wine, or beer to your heart's content.

Umbrella Bar

Canyons Village

Canyons Village is one of the best post-ski hang in town thanks to its packed roster of local musical acts. Catch all the action at Umbrella Bar, which ditches its windows and lowers its canopy come warmer weather. Find the usual suspects of craft and domestic beer on tap or choose a spiked seltzer to keep it bubbly with a buzz.

3720 N Sundial Ct

No Name Saloon

Main street

This Main Street landmark may have No Name, but it’s arguably Park City’s most popular and raucous bar, and the place to hobnob after hours. Here, buffalo burgers take center stage, but bison meat also stars on the hearty nacho plate. Skip imbibing and dining amidst TVs and taxidermy-bedecked walls and climb the stairs to the heated rooftop patio, where Main Street views await.

447 Historic Main St

Cocktails rotate with the seasons at High West, but you can count on good times year-round.

High West Distillery

Historic park city

When the ski lifts stop spinning, you’ll find skis and snowboards lined up outside High West, the world’s first and only ski-in, gastro-distillery. Belly up to the bar for inventive cocktails crafted with Utah-distilled whiskey and vodka. And if you’ve grown tired of old fashioneds and whiskey sours, order originals like Battle Creek, with cold brew, chocolate, and bourbon, or the mezcal-lychee concoction Fairyland Loop. If the weather's nice, ditch the crowded interior and take your drinks fireside on the outdoor, front patio.

Champagne Sabering Ritual

St. Regis Deer Valley

Staying at Deer Valley long past last chair? Take the funicular to the St. Regis Mountain Terrace and toast sundown with a free glass of bubbly. A bartender narrates the Napoleonic roots of champagne sabering, strikes one across a sealed bottle, and pours a round for the whole patio. As the night cools, stay cozy under heaters and sip on the hotel’s signature cocktails.

The Après Lounge

Montage Deer Valley

Champagne is the new beer for après sipping, and you’ll find iconic Veuve Clicquot at the Montage’s Après Lounge. Step inside the slopeside yurt to drink bubbly paired with gourmet bites of caviar, cheese, and charcuterie. Then, kick up your ski boots and lounge on the plush couches or take it outdoors to recline in Adirondack chairs and take in the Deer Valley views.  

9100 Marsac Ave

The Corner

Park City Resort

Serving up a local’s favorite après scene at Park City Mountain Resort for over 30 years, the revitalized The Corner is the best (and family-friendly) place at the base for brews, burgers, and live music. Offering a full bar and a huge, outdoor patio, you can jam to live local tunes here. And while a Michelin dining experience it is not, The Corner boasts classic American fare and some of the resort’s most reasonable food prices. (Looking at you, $8 chicken wings.)
