10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Park City

"An award-winning distillery known for small-batch whiskeys, High West is the hottest spot in Park City. While reservations for dinner are normally a must, this season it’s walk-in only. If there’s a wait, you can kill time in the adjacent Saloon drinking killer cocktails like the Marooned Miner, a mix of rye whiskey, rum, creme de cacao, and blueberry cardamom bitters."

"Head to the hills and let some inhibitions down at High West’s Park City distillery. Visit the tasting room for a sip of spirits, then pick up some in-house knowledge on one of the site’s educational tours. When you’re good an educated, sample from the tasting room again, then try to explain the finer points of what you’ve just learned."

"The first and only ski-in/ski-out whiskey distillery, if you can get in, High West is a must. High West serves up roots music, spirits, and victuals daily.High West"

"Proper Brewing can get a bit crowded on peak nights, but the beer and fun atmosphere are worth it if you don’t mind a crowd. The pub's large-screen TVs and projector are usually tuned to the latest Real Salt Lake or Utes games, which you can watch while playing a round of pool, foosball, shuffleboard, or skee ball. Grab some food next door at Proper Burger Co. and bring it on over (but leave soda or milkshakes at the restaurant as those can’t come into a brew pub)."

"We asked a few locals which places needed to be placed on our list, and Proper Brewing was always at the top. It was almost a knee jerk reaction. It’s like when someone says the word “Louisville” within Lia’s general vicinity and immediately and she instinctively says “You know it has over a million people.” Hometown love runs deep!"

"Proper opened in 2016 as a brewery with an adjacent burger joint. Proper’s flagship beer is the Golden Ale, but they also offer 12 other draft and 10 bottled beers including Oaty McOatface, Revenge DIPA and the Belgian style Patersbier. They also offer a full cocktail menu."

"A word that came to mind upon entering was “industrial.” The history of the tasting room is basically “Hey we have a bunch of space in this corner of the warehouse, should we open it up to the public?. ” You’ll be sitting and sipping among giant beer vats, which feels very homey and bespoke. If you’re an IPA fan, you’ll enjoy their Hazy and Juicy IPA. I don’t know how else to describe it but a pure IPA."

"Shades has been open since 2017 and it in the same neighborhood cluster as Salt Fire and Level Crossing. They are one of the brewers who worked with South Salt Lake to create the beer-friendly atmosphere of the neighborhood. As owner Trent Fargher puts it, they “broke the glass ceiling for beer in South Salt Lake”."

"Very friendly brewpub with quality eats like meatloaf, seared ahi salad and calamari fried in Hefeweizen, served alongside thirst-quenching Polygamy Porter. If you are feeling frisky, go for the jalapeño cream..."

"I am insanely picky when it comes to Chinese restaurants because a lot of them are just okay. Ordered some take out and was incredibly surprised and deli..."

"This small, picturesque park, is tucked away at the bottom of the Avenues neighborhood. It was constructed in the 1920s to honor the soldiers lost in World War I and features several memorials to Utah’s veterans, as well as a replica of the Liberty Bell. Not only is Memory Grove just a few minutes’ walk from downtown, but it also connects to City Creek Canyon which features a winding creekside forest road perfect for walking, running, and cycling, as well as several trails."

"Though the Mormon Church is undeniably the historically and culturally dominant religion in Utah, it certainly isn't the only. This dramatic Roman Catholic cathedral, completed in 1909, was built to mimic Romanesque style on the outside and Gothic style on the inside. The structure features gargoyles, vibrant murals, finely executed wood carvings, and magnificent stained-glass windows."

"The Cathedral of Madeleine in Salt Lake City is a beautifully designed church that was completed in the year of 1909. Designed by architects Carl Neuhausen and Bernard Mecklenburg in a neo-gothic and Romanesque style, the cathedral is stunning to look at. Inside, the cathedral is decorated with tasteful murals and stained glass windows."

"This “secret garden”, on a side street in the middle of town, is one of Salt Lake’s gems. Carved and curated by Mormon bishop and businessman Thomas Battersby Child Jr in the late 1940s, the garden is an arguably unsettling tribute to the man’s life and religion, featuring stone-carved sculptures and engravings portraying Biblical stories and church history. Highlights include a curious Joseph Smith Sphinx, an unflattering self-portrait by Child, a sacrificial altar and random carved body parts strewn here and there.749 East 500 South, +1 801 582 0432, gilgalgarden.org."

"Thomas Child built Gilgal Garden in the mid 1900s as a way “to give physical form to his deep-felt beliefs.” This small garden, tucked away in a non-descript street in the Liberty Wells neighborhood, is a wacky, weird, and yet beautiful place. Strewn across moss-covered hills lay some of the most abstract sculptures of arms, legs, hearts, and verses from the Bible. If you need a break from traffic and screaming kids, spend an hour or so meandering around this unique corner of Salt Lake City and have your eyes and minds opened."

"Gilgal Sculpture Garden was envisioned, designed, and created by Thomas Battersby Child, Jr. in the mid-twentieth century. Tucked in the middle of the block behind houses and businesses, Gilgal Sculpture Garden contains 12 original sculptures and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems, and literary texts. The public is invited to visit the garden seven days a week."
