Food & Nightlife
For such a small village,
Snowbird surprisingly has 15 restaurants and numerous lounges (ie bars). Dining varies from burgers, to quality steaks and fine dining.
Snowbird Restaurants
The
Aerie Restaurant located on the 10th floor of the Cliff Lodge has award-winning fine dining, an extensive wine list and great views through enormous windows. Also in the Cliff Lodge (level A) is the popular
El Chanate, with mainly Mexican fare as well as some American food.
The Steak Pit (Level 1, Snowbird Center) has American-sized steaks as well as seafood, bottomless salads and a few options for vegetarians.
The Wildflower in the Iron Blosam Lodge has reasonably priced Mediterranean meals. The Lodge at Snowbird also has a couple of dining options,
The Lodge Bistro and the Lounge.
Bars & Nightlife
The bars at Snowbird are called lounges and are “private clubs” that charge $4 for a 3-week membership. With the exception of the Tram Club, other lounges provide complimentary visitor card memberships for overnight guests. The strange Utah liquor laws are a tourist attraction in themselves!
The Tram Club on level 1 of the Snowbird Centre is a lively spot for après-ski and also for dancing later into the evening to live music or a DJ. Essentially it’s a sports bar, and has multiple large screen TVs and pool tables.
More of a locals’ favourite for après is the
Wildflower Lounge (Level 3, The Iron Blosam Lodge) which has a good happy hour bar menu.
Tequila connoisseurs (is there such a thing?) will love
El Chanate Cantina (The Cliff Lodge, Level A) which is great for happy hour tacos, Utah microbrews and live music.
The Aerie Lounge in the Cliff Lodge has awesome views, cocktails and sushi. The Lodge Bistro Lounge is also good for a quiet drink.
