Contrary to what you might have heard about Deer Valley, there is an active nightlife. In fact, the Deer Valley/Park City area is the place in Utah with the highest number of alcoholic beverage businesses per capita. If you are going to drink here you should know a couple things about Utah's liquor laws. Many businesses that serve alcohol are �private clubs.� Guests may purchase an inexpensive membership that is good for 3 weeks. This will allow entry and consumption of alcohol during that time period. So, technicalities aside, there are loads of places where you can get a good drink, see live entertainment, and dance; if that's in your vacation plans.



To locate the nicest assortment of clubs and pubs, you should head to Park City�s historic district. If you wish to enjoy live-entertainment check out the Spur Bar and Grill on Main Street. There is no smoking in here. Despite the fact that it's cowboy themed, it's comfortable instead of rustic. Spur�s sister location is at 350 S. Main. Their Jupiter Cosmopolitan was voted in 2005 as Park City�s signature drink. Another place that offers music in the form of jazz, funk or acoustic is Mother Urban�s Ratskeller. This place is also well-known for locally produced burritos and a wide-selection of bottled beers.

During the 2002 Winter Olympics, celebrities gathered at Harry O�s. This is a hip dance club with live bands or a DJ. �Club dress� is required and lines are to be expected.
