The city has three major ski resorts: Deer Valley Resort, The Canyons, and Park City Mountain Resort which were home to many of the events of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Park City is also home to a growing local music scene, so make sure to kick back and enjoy the local tunes après ski style. Check out Park City Live Music for current listings.
The Spur Bar and Grill – 352 Main Street
The Spur has a great western après ski vibe, a cozy dance floor, and comfortable seating next to a fireplace. The crowd is usually a pretty casual ski crowd from 20-something vacationers to 50+ local ski bums. The Spur offers live music nearly every night during the winter season and ranges from bluegrass and folk to good old rock and roll and western styled country.
The Sidecar – 333 Main Street
The Sidecar is Park City’s premiere pizza-parlor bar-nightclub. Winner of Salt Lake Magazines “Best Bar Pizza”, Fat Kid Pizza is one of the only places in town to get food until 1am.
