Whether you crave a lively dance floor, a relaxed pub atmosphere, or a night of live music, here are some highlights and popular spots for drinking, dancing, and entertainment.

PARK CITY NIGHTLIFE

Après-Ski with a Twist:  

Park City takes après-ski (literally "after-ski") to a whole new level.  The iconic No Name Saloon remains a local favorite, boasting a lively atmosphere, delicious buffalo burgers, and a legendary dance floor. For a more upscale experience, head to Premiere Park City, a luxe cocktail lounge with handcrafted drinks and live music.  Places like The Cabin and Drafts Park City cater to a laid-back crowd with brews, bites, and occasional live music performances. 

Dancing the Night Away:  

For those seeking a club scene, Park City offers options. Downstairs pulsates with high-energy dance music, attracting a trendy crowd. For a more sophisticated vibe, Elixir boasts a stylish setting and creative cocktails. Alternatively, visit The Spur Bar & Grill for live country music and a taste of the Wild West.

Beyond the Bar: 

Nightlife in Park City extends beyond the traditional bar and club experience. Catch a stand-up comedy show at Park City Improv.  For a unique cultural immersion, head to Egyptian Theatre, a historic landmark that hosts live music, films, and theatrical performances.  During winter, Park City Mountain Resort often features evening events like ice skating and fire pits, creating a magical atmosphere under the starry sky.

Beyond the Main Drag:  

Venture beyond the bustling Main Street to discover hidden gems. Star Bar offers a sophisticated lounge atmosphere with a curated cocktail menu and live music on select evenings. Visit the only ski-in gastro-distillery in the world. High West Distillery and Saloon is an intimate gathering place serving small plates of nouveau Western fare, a full selection of fine wine and spirits, and their own small-batch, mountain-crafted, award-winning whiskeys and vodkas.

A Night for Everyone:  

The beauty of Park City's nightlife scene lies in its diversity. Whether you crave a lively dance floor, a sophisticated cocktail lounge, or a laid-back pub atmosphere, the town caters to all preferences.  Remember, dress codes can vary, so check with the establishment beforehand.

DEER VALLEY NIGHTLIFE

Deer Valley itself has a more relaxed vibe compared to the lively atmosphere of Park City's Main Street. However, there are still some great options for enjoying an evening out after a day on the slopes:

Après-Ski Delights:
