You’re here for a good time! It’s time for a Park City happy hour!
Unfortunately, state liquor laws prohibit Utahns from enjoying what you might call a “traditional” happy hour. Limited drink specials are strictly off limits, so bars and eateries across Park City have to get creative with their happy hour and apres-ski offerings if they want to stay within the confines of the law.
That doesn’t mean your Park City happy hour has to be stodgy or boring. There’s still more than enough happening on the scene to make your hour as happy as you want it to be. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites below.
1. Tupelo
- Day(s): Wed – Sat
- Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
