And with hours that extend until 2:00 am on the weekends, there's plenty of party for all.

PAINTING PARK CITY RED

 

Great skiing, tough liquor laws for years Utah has been fighting this seemingly irreconcilable dichotomy. But, in the last year, legislators have begun to loosen the rules (sayonara, sidecars!). In addition to the opening of the state's first legal disillery since the 1800s, it's now easier than ever to get a drink anywhere in Park City. So, raise a glass to Uah's new liquor laws:

 

• No more memberships! The confusing and restrictive private club system has been eliminated, so entry to bars is free of charge andopen to all patrons over 21 years of age.

• Bottoms up! The amount of a single shot has increased for one to 1.5 ounces.

• Enjoy a cocktail and wine! Restaurants can now allow patrons to have two drinks in front of them at once, and restaurant bartenders can serve cocktails directly over the bar counter, instead of walking around.

Park City Opens First Legal Distillery Since the 1800s

DISTILLING  THE WEST TO ITS ESSENCE

After nearly five years of planning, historic renovation and hard work, the long-awaited High West Distillery & Saloon is finally open for business. Situated at the base of the Town Lift on Park Avenue, Utah's first legal distillery since 1870 also hold the distinct title of being the only ski-in gastro distillery in the world. Whiskey fans have a reason to celebrate. So does anyone who's looking for an extraordinary dining experience.

 

"Our vision was for High West Distillery & Saloon to hearken back to the days when saloons were a fundamental part of the fabric of a Western town and were quite often the fanciest place in town and the only place to get a good meal," explained David Perkins, who founded the High West with his wife Jane.

 

Renowned executive chef, James Dumas of Sai Sommet and Goldener Hirsch fame, is at the top of his game, creating an ever-changing and innovative menu of nouveau Western fare to be savored in the distillery's bar, as well as the parlors and cozy nooks of the restaurant, all tucked into the historic house that adjoins the distillery. A children's menu is also available.

 

First and foremost, High West is a boutique distillery crafting small batch spirits. High West currently offers three unique whiskies sourced from the East Coast (while its own whiskey ages), including the signature blend Rendezvous Rye, which won Doubl Gold at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, as well as the 16-Year Old Rye and the premium 21-Year Old Rye. Additionally, High West produces two vodkas made from High West's own oat distillate. Perkins spent years learning the secrets of making "really good whiskey" from distillers in Kentucky and Scotland, before moving to Park City in 2004 to launch his own high-end distillery.

 

Perkins lobbied the state liquor commission and eventually received a special dispensations to sell bottles of its spirits on-site in the gifts shop. High West's whiskeys and vodkas can also be found at Utah State Liquor Stores.
