Nice place to grab a bite to eat and a cocktail in Park City. We stopped by for lunch during the week and it wasn't very busy. We were seated quickly and ordered drinks. I tried the Cabin Fever cocktail which was very good. My partner and I both got the burger, which was huge and came with a large side of fries. We could have easily split one. The burger was tasty as well. Service was friendly although pretty slow. Since it wasn't very busy yet, we found that a bit odd. That was the only downside. They also have a small gift shop for you to grab high wear items, including the glasses they use which we really liked. Check it out!

Very popular spot on Main Street, and I can tell why! Short wait but we were able to wonder around town while waiting for a table. We ordered a few of their seasonal cocktail which were refreshing! We shared the trout dip, burger and the special that day - bison French dip. Food was pretty solid, a little on the pricey side.

Wagyu pastrami poutine - very low on the meat. The rest of the fries are well fried, sauced and poutine like but again not a lot of meat and all quite small pieces. Not the best. Elk meatballs and grits - alright meat to grits ratio. The meatballs are well cooked and flavorful with the game-ness. The grits had good consistency and cheesiness. Went really well with the slices of pepper they had. Favorite of the appetizers. Trout dip - classic sour cream type dip. Nothing too special but was good. The servers were very personable and attentive. The space has a nice ambiance that matches the Utah ski town vibe. They also have fires outside and a bar to keep you warm while you wait. I've come here at least once every time I visit which has been at least a handful of times over the years. Still will continue to come make a stop whenever I am visiting nearby.

Shishito Peppers 4/5
Kayleigh W.

The food is great and well priced. The drinks are excellent too. Solid service. We came once around 5pm on the Monday of Presidents' Day week and got a table for 4 easily. The second time we came we arrived around 2:30pm on the Thursday of that week and easily got a table for 4 again. We skied down from the slopes, walked down the stairs, and were there. Such a cool experience! Check the photos for food ratings :) I loved the special chorizo chili.

Loved it. The cocktail featuring their signature whiskey and mezcal was phenomenal. The décor, the staff, and the renowned American whiskey all stood out! Definitely it's a must-try.

Poutine

This is still one of my favorite places to eat in Park City. It became a ritual for me to have dinner at High West Saloon one night of my ski trip. The only cons of this place is that they don't take reservations so usually you're looking at a 30-1.5 hour wait on the weekends. We usually put our names on the waitlist and go get some pre dinner drinks nearby. The menu has changed quite a bit from when I first discovered the place a couple of years ago but the quality of the food stays consistent. This time I got the bison dip and the wagyu pastrami poutine to share. Both dishes were delicious as well as the seasonal cocktails we ordered. The service was also top tier as the staff was attentive with refilling the water and providing us with extra sauces for our leftovers. Overall another great experience.

Bar area

Fun experience! Ambiance wise a 5/5. I love the indoor set up and outdoor seating area. Service was a 4/5. Our server seemed to keep disappearing and we had to ask where he went several times. The food was a 3/5. And the drinks might be between down to a 3 or if I stuck with what they distilled, on the rocks, it would have been a 5. I shouldn't have been swooned by their cocktails. Cocktails were way - too - sweet. Even for someone like me who loves a sweet cocktail, these weren't that well balanced. Food: Elk meatballs: 5/5. Had flavor. Wasn't crazy about all the toppings they threw on it but wasn't mad about it either. Mac and cheese: 5/5. One of the best things we ordered. Flavor was good. Super cheesy but at the same time, not heavy. Deviled eggs: 4/5. Fresh and simple but it had too much of something that I can't quite put my finger on. Shishito peppers: 3/5 - that was interesting. Never had a breaded deep fried shishito pepper before and the roasted ones were not roasted enough. Ribs: 1/5 - worst thing we ordered . If you're a bbq connoisseur, don't get their ribs. Dry, no bbq flavor except for the bbq sauce.. not sure that bean slaw works with bbq.... Chocolate cake: 5:5 - best thing we got. Warm. Dense but not heavy. Perfect amount of cherry sauce to balance everything out.

No visit to Park City would be complete without a stop at High West. The rustic charm of this distillery/bar/restaurant has something for everyone - whether you're looking for a beverage on the patio, a lowball at the bar (the old fashion is a staple), a private room to visit with friends or a vibrant restaurant for food and cocktails. We ordered a healthy sampling of appetizers: Wings (my favorite), hot pretzel, trout spread w/ chips and the elk meatballs. Mains included burgers, the heirloom salad and the schnitzel .. all solid!

The bar is the way to go. The restaurant was packed with a 40+ minute wait.

If you're in Park City, you have to go. Very cool and small feel for such a prominent player in the whiskey game. We sat at the bar and did some flights and old fashions. The service was great. The bartender set our flight up 2 tastings at a time which was cool because we took our time and he took his time to explain the differences in the tastings. Beware the gift shop is hard to pass up!

Soup of the Day
Summer O.

Lunch on a weekday is definitely the way to avoid lines at High West which doesn't take reservations. Note: this is a bar and you can NOT entire unless you are 21+ and you must have your ID with you! Our waiter was quick to come back and was constantly refilling our waters which we happened to be drinking quickly. It might've helped that we were the only table in his sections. But that can be hit or miss in attentiveness. My husband and I enjoy splitting food because you get to try more things. We got the pretzel appetizer, soup of the day which was a vegetable beef with rice, and the schnitzel. All were very tasty! The pretzel was smaller than expected but the menu did say you could order a second pretzel for $5. The schnitzel was bigger than expected and is definitely shareable depending on appetite! I love the look of these refurbished old buildings! The inside is just as cool as the look on the outside. Inside is a tad dark, very saloon-y. All and all this ain't just a restaurant it's a Park City experience. Highly recommend!

I stumbled across High West Saloon, well visiting the area. I had no idea this is where they were based. I was looking for a public restroom when I ventured into a hotel that explicitly forbade no guests from using the restrooms. I went outside and looked right and thought, that place will have a restroom, and maybe I will get a drink, too. And then I happen to pond one of the distillery restaurants related to a favorite American whiskey. Yay me! I only stayed for one drink because I had somewhere I needed to be, but the service was excellent, the ambience was super cool, and the whiskey was delicious. What more can you ask for? I did not get a chance to sample the food, but I suspect it would be very good as well. I hope I get to come back someday!

I understand that this is a must see, Park City experience. It's the 1st legal distillery in Utah from 1870. It was hidden behind the ski lifts, we are 7,000 ft up. It appeared to be a distillery with our drivers licenses scanned before we entered. Outside tables were hot, there was a whisky tasting room, huge distillery & small rooms. We were seated in the main dining room. My High West lemonade with Double Rye and House spice lemonade was excellent, it had a nice kick. I ordered an Utah elk meatball appetizer with bean cassoulet & lemon gremolat while my husband ordered a burger. Our meal was quick, fabulous, generous, flavorful & reasonable for this area.

Cabin Fever and Old Fashioned
Bekah C.

High West Saloon is a must-visit in Park City. A rustic, lively atmosphere paired perfectly with the warm and homey atmosphere and reliable service. Their whiskey-based cocktails are top-notch. Cabin Fever? Always. Old Fashioned? Yes, please. The food was good but honestly didn't hit as hard as I was expecting. The burger just tasted like cheese. Whether you're stopping for a drink or a full meal High West is a great spot to soak up Park City's character.

Ask the Community - High West Saloon

Does High West have TVs?

Not that I know of. Last visit I went on the distillery tour in Wanship UT and didn't visit the downtown PC location.

Do you have to be 21 or over to eat at the restaurant?

Yes, it is 21+ and you must bring ID to enter.

Is this place kid friendly?

No. It is a whiskey bar and restaurant. The menu is complex and foodie. I would not suggest anyone bring children here.

I see they are NOT taking reservations, so when are the best times to dine to avoid long wait times?

Weekdays. Get there early and put your name in line. We went across the street and drank at bar while we waited to be texted. Be sure right receive their wait text cuz they got my number wrong !!!

Is the restaurant open currently, January 2022? I've been trying to call for a few days, but no one picks up the phone or returns my calls.

Yes, but the PC Restaurant was closed a few days last week.

Is this more of a bar/nightlife or a restaurant?

Restaurant at this point

What vegan options does this restaurant have and is it open Thanksgiving?

No Vegan dishes....currently there was just one vegetarian dish on the menu. I was there 7/18/21 and they had a mushroom bolognese gnocchi. They may be able to do a salad for you but if you're like me.....a salad isn't a meal ;)

Do they allow children in the restaurant area?

Hi Brandon! Unfortunately due to a change in Utah law last year, we are now a 21+ restaurant! However, our location in Wanship, UT, open Wednesday-Sunday days is family-friendly!

Why is this restaurant listed with only two $$? The entrees are insanely expensive compared to the other restaurants listed at two $$ that have entrees for $10-$16.…

Definitely more like $$$

Do they take reservations?

they also don't allow children

Are there reservations or a wait list option?

There are no reservations or call ahead service available.

Is it open on holidays?

Yes I think it is

Can people under 21 eat at the restaurant?

As of July 1st, 2018, we are a 21 and over establishment.

Can anyone recommend a hotel near hear?

Sky lodge or st regis

They were all sooo good, and I think my favorite was the saloon burger. We split the pretzel and the artichoke jalapeño dip for the table, and both were DELICIOUS. I was so impressed - the cheese sauce was amazing and the dip was sooo good with the pita. I am dreaming about it still!! The Bloody Mary was great and we really enjoyed just hanging out inside while it rained. It was pretty crowded which made getting in and out of the table kind of tough, and the backs of the chairs are no joke - they are absolutely straight metal plates, and they were pretty uncomfy (maybe a pillow would help?) but that definitely didn't take away from the charm or the food!!

This wasn't a great experience for me…read more The first thing that struck me was the ID check at the door. I pulled up my Colorado digital ID, and the employee seemed completely thrown by it and insisted on seeing my physical license. I understand businesses have policies, but the interaction felt unnecessarily awkward. I'm in my mid-40s, don't even drink alcohol, and still felt like I was being treated as if I were trying to sneak into a bar. It just set an odd tone from the start. I didn't choose the restaurant, but as someone with celiac disease, this was an even bigger issue. I let the staff know up front that I have celiac disease and need to avoid gluten. I ordered a bunless burger and skipped the fries since they don't have a dedicated fryer. I ordered a side salad instead, only to find out almost all of the dressings contained gluten, so I went with the vinaigrette. The burger itself was overcooked and honestly pretty underwhelming. The worst part came at the end of my meal. I took a bite of my salad and felt a crunch. There was a crouton mixed in. I had to spit it into my napkin in front of my coworkers, but by then I'd already chewed it and had crumbs throughout my mouth. For someone with celiac disease, this isn't just an inconvenience. If I'd never mentioned it, that would be one thing. But after telling the staff up front, there should never have been a crouton on that salad. That's beyond normal cross contamination. It was simply careless, and unfortunately it overshadowed the entire experience.

Was NOT expecting the experience I got -- what a hidden gem! When you arrive, you park at the…read morebottom of a roadway and hop on a shuttle that takes you up. There were three shuttles running the Sunday we went, and our group of six had made reservations beforehand (highly recommend doing that!). The ride up is worth the trip alone -- super scenic, and our shuttle driver was fantastic. He shared a ton of info about how everything works and how long they've been in business, which kicked the whole experience off on the right foot. Once you're up top, there's a distillery and a restaurant. We headed to the restaurant side for brunch, and while it's a smaller buffet, the food was absolutely incredible -- every single thing was top-notch. The shrimp might've been the biggest I've ever seen at a buffet! They also had brisket, eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, and a whole spread of desserts -- and that's just the stuff I couldn't stop raving about. Best part? We never felt rushed for a second. The staff were super patient and genuinely let us relax and catch up, which was exactly what our group of friends came for. It's a bit pricier than your average spot, but for the experience and the food, I'd do it again in a heartbeat -- this is a special-occasion kind of place. Next time, I'm determined to do a distillery tour! Our group was big and they were fully booked for the rest of the day, so we missed out this round -- but that just gives me a reason to come back.

While looking up things to do in Park City, I came across this tour. I'm a big whiskey fan, so it…read moreseemed like an easy choice. What was really cool is I left with a whole new appreciation for gin! The tour was great. I wish I could remember our guide's name because he was awesome. He explained everything in a way that kept it interesting and never felt like a boring history lesson. Learning about Utah's alcohol history all the way through the 2002 Olympics was something I wasn't expecting. They also shared how Brigham Young enjoyed whiskey, shut down other distilleries while allowing his own to continue operating, and that it was later described as being for "medicinal purposes." Learn something new everyday! Oh,'I was also there for "medicinal purposes" It was also really cool to learn how they distill and blend their whiskey and hear the story behind the brand. ( no spoilers here) I even found out I've been drinking whiskey all wrong!! The price was not bad, especially since the tasting is included. Some of the other distilleries in the area charge extra for that, so I thought it was well worth it. They also have a restaurant that serves brunch, we went on a Sunday. We didn't eat there this time, but we'll definitely be stopping in the next time we're in Park City. Overall, this was just a really fun experience. The places was beautiful! It doesn't take up your whole day, but it's enough to feel like you got out and did something. If you're in Park City with friends, or you're able to sneak away from the kids for a couple of hours, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your trip.

You can really tell how much care goes into the menu everything tastes fresh, thoughtful, and truly made in-house. I started with the nonalcoholic cucumber spritz, which was SO refreshing. Mike had a version made with rum, and Brittney had the Charcuterie Tears cocktail, which was such a fun and unique drink. For dinner, I had the sea bass and it was absolutely phenomenal. The coconut rice, red curry, snap peas, and charred pineapple worked so well together easily one of my favorite meals of the trip. Mike had the Wagyu steak, which was cooked beautifully, and Brittney ordered the special: agnolotti with short rib plus a stuffed fried poblano pepper filled with even more short rib. That dish was honestly surreal. Everything we tried was delicious. The service made the experience even better. Our waitress, Rose, was awesome, attentive, friendly, and made the whole dinner feel special. Hannah, the manager, was also incredibly sweet and welcoming. We felt genuinely taken care of from the moment we arrived. Brittney used to work here, so we already knew Franklin Ave had a great reputation, but actually experiencing it ourselves completely lived up to the hype. Amazing food, creative drinks, wonderful people, and such a great atmosphere. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Salt Lake City.
