Cool shows in a friendly outdoor setting. Magic and bluegrass are both great. Support local.

Local bluegrass music that is wholesome and fun! It's also free and a real flavor of the Moab culture. It's a must when in this desert town!

I was looking for a quick bite and noticed The Blu Pig right next to my hotel. To my surprise,…read moretheir bar side of the restaurant had live music! I grabbed food to go from the restaurant and ate half of it while enjoying some incredible live acoustic music from a wonderful musician named Dave Mensch. The bar was nothing but good energy, from the bartender to the fellow patrons, everyone was quite chill and really vibing to the music. I ordered the brisket and turkey platter, which came with corn bread and 2 sides. I chose mac n cheese and sweet potato fries. If I wasn't watching the show, I would have scarfed it all down in 5 minutes it was that good. Luckily for me, I'll have having half of it for leftovers tomorrow for lunch (breakfast actually). Really cool place, I'm happy and lucky that I walked in!

We ate in the bar and enjoyed the ambiance. Service was poor even though it was early and the…read moretables in the bar were nearly empty. Our server was training another at the time which was concerning. The big disappointment was the food, we had chosen to have bbq that night and among all the options we chose the Blu Pig based on the menu. We had two orders of rare prime rib (on a Sunday) and a brisket sandwich. The prime rib was not flavorful and not tender, one in our party thought it had been cooked the day before? It's offered Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The brisket required lots of sauce and didn't really have a hero flavor. The sides were mixed, corn muffins, baked potato and salad all good. The Mac and cheese was very bad, creamy but no real flavor. The gumbo wasn't good, it contained beef and no ocra. The only other complaint is that the only Chardonnay offer is box wine! I am sure MOAB has better BBQ. All of our other meals in town were great!

Moab Museum - The story about recreation in Moab

Moab Museum

A small museum highlighting the history of Moab and the unique influence of uranium had on the…read moretown. Most of the exhibits were uranium related. There was minimal focus on the Settlers and the founding of the town. There was not much history telling daily life of the settlers before the uranium discovery. There was barely any mention of surrounding environment and the native Americans relationships to the settlers. Overall, it was a good way to spend an hour to an hour and a half. Admission price was $10 for adult and $8 for Senor. Free parking in front of the museum.

Bottom Line: A great local museum explaining how Moab came to be the tourist destination it is…read moretoday. Aside from modern day Moab being a big tourist destination and jumping off point for adventures in places like Arches NP and Canyonlands NP I didn't know much about its origins so I was excited to visit the Moab Museum. The museum is one large room and while you can view the exhibits in any order I found it was best to start at the very beginning and work my way clockwise. The museum starts with the indigenous people who lived in modern day Moab and ends with Moab being central to two national parks and a recreation hub. Missionaries, fur trappers, cowboys, miners, adventurists and dinosaurs were all covered in between. My favorite exhibit was about William Grandstaff. The exhibit called "Tracing the Story of William Grandstaff" traces his roots from likely being enslaved in Virginia to becoming a Civil War era soldier, frontiersmen, pioneer, cowboy, miner and saloon manager in Utah and Colorado. I love when museums leave me wanting to know more and William Grandstaff is definitely someone who'd I'd like to learn more about. I'd also like to hike the trail named in his honor - the Grandstaff Trail in Grandstaff Canyon. One of the best features of the museum were historical pictures of the Moab area that you could scroll through on a tablet. The photos really helped me understand the history of Moab. Admission was $10 for an adult and I felt it was well worth it. The museum has a good bit of reading, some artifacts and a few interactive exhibits sprinkled in so some kids might be a little bored but I really enjoyed it. Kids 7 and under visit for free and students are $8.

Sandstone Gallery - Storefront

I don't normally buy souvenirs on trips, but I was looking for a gift for someone who had helped me…read moreplan some hikes at Arches and Canyonlands. I was walking around Main Street in Moab and the little stone cairn replicas at Sandstone Gallery caught my eye. These trail markers are everywhere on the hiking trails at both national parks, so I thought that would be the perfect gift. They are just so cute. And on the bottom stone, the words "Moab, Utah" are stamped on. I checked out some other souvenir shops too, across the street, but I couldn't find mini sandstone cairns like the ones this shop carries. In addition to the cairns, they also sell mini sandstone arches, as well as some other shapes, and also just sandstones by themselves. I also liked the sandstone magnets that had the Native American rock art pictographs on them (I was really tempted to get a few of these!). In the back of the store is their sale section. And the customer service was awesome! The lady in the store was super nice. I asked her a bunch of questions about the little stone sculpture, like what kind of material it was made of. She included a piece of paper that said what the material was and where they get it from. And she wrapped up my purchase with bubble wrap. And they take credit card! I had a very pleasant and great shopping experience here! It's a great place to find a Moab/Arches/Canyonlands gift for someone or for yourself!

We stopped in to this store while vacationing in Moab in mid October. We found two very nice…read morepieces that we purchased but were discussing how we would safely get them back home as we were flying, The man running the store at the time was very kind and suggested that he ship the items to avoid any damage - during that discussion he offered to ship another purchase we had made at another store earlier that day. Two and half months later we STILL do not have the package! We've attempted to contact him on several occasions to no avail. The one time he did respond he indicated that the item had been returned because the zip code was wrong (unlikely since my husband filled out the shipping label). He said he'd get it back in the mail right away. After a couple more weeks of waiting and attempting to contact him, my husband called the Moab Chamber of Commerce to see if they could offer any help. The lady there said she would contact the owner of the store - but it's December 26 and we STILL have not received the package. WARNING to anyone who shops there....very nice things, but be sure to take it with you. Would've rated higher but this guy has been so unresponsive. Terrible customer service .
