It pays to stick around through the shoulder season!

$5 Entrees, Trivia, Locals’ Nights and More at Park City Restaurants This Fall

These world-famous culinary destinations are offering a range of specials through the shoulder season.

As the leaves change, the snow falls, and another Park City winter fast approaches, the region’s award-winning restaurants are serving platters full of food and drink specials this fall. From the can’t-miss Monday-Tuesday-Thursday combo at Bill White’s Grappa, Windy Ridge Café and Ghidotti’s restaurants, to the Mega-Mind Trivia tournament and $5 selections at the Brass Tag, to a costumes-encouraged Halloween Party and locally inspired Beer Dinner, there’s plenty to enjoy in town before the resorts open for the winter season.

“This community of restaurants has somehow turned the shoulder season into something really special for the folks who stick around here through the fall,” Park City Area Restaurant Association executive director Ginger Wicks said. “It just shows how much our chefs and bartenders and restaurant owners are all part of this community – not to mention their charm and creativity. We’re all looking forward to seeing our neighbors join us this fall.” 

Here’s the restaurant-by-restaurant rundown, each a member of the Park City Area Restaurant Association. A few will have modified hours or will temporarily close for routine maintenance and cleaning before the start of the ski and snowboard season.
