Ski-in gastro-distillery offering award-winning whiskeys & American bar food.
"An award-winning distillery known for small-batch whiskeys, High West reigns as the hottest spot in Park City. It’s walk-in only, so there’s usually a wait, but you can kill time drinking killer cocktails. Once seated, opt for a flight of four whiskey tastings, then tuck into comfort food like smoked chicken wings, poutine, fondue, and house-made pretzels. A prix fixe experience is available at the neighboring Nelson Cottage, where reservations are released 30 days in advance, and guided tours are offered at the High West headquarters (about a 30-minute drive from Park City)." - Katie Shapiro
"A downtown ski-in gastro-distillery offering a selection of whiskeys and hearty food; notable as a distillery that has pledged $1 million to nonprofits dedicated to protecting the American West." - AFAR
"A Park City–based distillery and tasting room located on the resort’s grounds (about a seven-minute walk from the main building, with hotel-arranged rides available), this brand was the first whiskey distillery to open in Utah since Prohibition (in 2006). Many of its whiskeys are blended to produce signature flavor profiles that have attracted a national following; the bourbons are described as approachable, and tastings are recommended as an introduction to the category. Tours explain basics of production—copper pot distilling and barrel aging—and provide context for the blends and aging techniques on offer." - Merlyn Miller
"If you only have time to visit one restaurant while you’re in Park City, prioritize High West Saloon. The hometown distillery is basically mountain town perfection—the inside feels like an old-school saloon, the cocktails use the best of High West’s whiskey lineup, and you can theoretically ski right up to the restaurant in the winter. The menu features elevated versions of pub food, including a pretzel with whiskey-infused beer cheese and a burger smeared with bacon onion jam and two kinds of cheese. It’s walk-in only, so get there early: during ski season, there will probably already be a wait at 5pm." - jene shaw
"A ski-in, ski-out option beloved by whiskey lovers, offering easy access from the slopes and a distilled-spirits focus for those who prefer a refined, spirit-forward après." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
