10 Best Breweries 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"

"What Kiitos lacks in food, they make up for in great flavored beer at a fair price. The seasonal Creamsicle is especially tasty as well as the two Fruit Milkshake Ales in raspberry plum and strawberry. Like many of the other breweries on this list, Kiitos has a storefront at the entrance where customers can grab a six-pack of their favorites to take home and enjoy."

"RoHa Brewing Project was started after a years-long friendship that began at a monthly beer school session between Chris Haas (the Ha in RoHa), one of Utah’s craft brewing pioneers, and Rob Phillips (the Ro in RoHa), a passionate home brewer. Fast forward to today and they are producing and serving some high-quality beers in one of the smaller taprooms of the Salt Lake City breweries. But don’t let the small taproom size deter you."

"RoHa has taken advantage of those new South Salt Lake ordinances to open up a small brewery and tap room. They are in one of those transitional neighborhoods that used to be full of auto parts stores and prostitutes but now has bakeries, cool clothing boutiques and budding gentrification. No word on where the prostitutes ended up."

"Mark this down as one of the truly unique concepts at any of the breweries in Salt Lake City. Grid City has three core beers – a cream ale, a pale ale, and a brown ale. Nothing truly unique about that, right?"

"Here are Lia’s two favorite beer descriptors: sour and barrel-aged. I’m convinced she would buy Barrel-Aged Sour Compost Juice, and probably have very steadfast opinions about it. Note from Lia: um, rude."

"Located in downtown Salt Lake City, Monkeywrench is a vegan ice cream and coffee shop replete with various house made ice creams in a variety of formats. The restaurant is also open late most days of the week for those late night cravings. 16 flavors, made in house daily, served in your choice of a cup or cone."

"Montgomery Lee Fine Art gallery features realistic as well as impressionistic paintings and sculptures. The mother-daughter duo of Linda Lee and Jennifer Lee-Fargo have been representing primarily 20th century artists for over 23 years now. At 2,600 square feet, the large gallery presents a stunning range and selection of art and is well worth a stop on Main Street."

"A fine art platform for local Utah artists, the Local Colors of Utah gallery regularly exhibits and sells pieces created by thirty different artists. Visitors can browse collages by Melody Johnson, enroll in a paper collage art class taught by her or choose to purchase one of her original pieces to take home with them. Similarly, whilst meandering around the gallery, visitors have the chance to enjoy photographs by Jeff Clay, paintings by Blaine Clayton or participate in an acrylic painting class with Gail Galarneau."

"Believe it or not, Salt Lake City is home to some of the most eclectic, colorful, and vibrant street art I’ve seen in a while. Tired of walking around downtown?. Trying to stay out of the sun or snow?"

"A Central City gem, the 80-acre Liberty Park is the second-largest public park in Salt Lake. In 1860, the land belonged to Brigham Young, who planted the mulberry, cottonwood, and other trees that make this one of the shadiest parks in the city. The park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as is the Isaac Chase Mill (the oldest commercial building still standing in Utah) on the park grounds."

"Liberty Park covers an impressive 80 acres of land which makes it the largest park in the Salt Lake City area. Due to its size, you can expect a huge range of activities here and you can go walking, hiking, or biking around the green slopes. There are a range of sports and recreation grounds here such as basketball courts and volleyball nets, as well as a swimming pool."

"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."

"The federal government operated the Utah State Prison here for nearly a century before the city redesigned and repurposed the site as a public park. This giant space has everything you need for a family or community party, a sports event (see: basketball court donated by the Utah Jazz), or just a morning cardio workout—the 1.38-mile road encircling the park features a 16-foot-wide inside lane for walkers, runners, cyclists, roller-bladers, and skate-ski trainers. Set up a picnic near the large, duck-filled pond, or follow the sidewalk on the park’s west edge under 1300 East and explore Hidden Hollow’s meandering paths, native vegetation, and rushing Parley’s Creek."

"One of Salt Lake City's favorite (and largest) playgrounds, this attractive park has a rather checkered past. Originally, the area was the setting for one of the state's first prisons, an adobe structure in use until 1951. All that currently remains of the prison are a couple of historical markers, and, today, the park offers everything from soccer fields and a duck pond to expansive green areas and picnic shelters."

"Located in Salt Lake City’s Sugar House neighborhood, Sugar House Park is a 110-acre park (the largest park in the city). And this is an ideal place to visit your family and kids. Especially, many people visit this park for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding on hills, and many other winter activities in the winter months."
