Park City Classic: No Name Saloon & Grill

This hot spot is home to the world-famous buffalo burger and rooftop bar!

Out from the posh art galleries and fine-dining establishments rises No Name Saloon & Grill. It’s iconic. Once nicknamed “The Alamo” because of its Spanish architecture dating back to the early 1900s, the brick building emanates the ghost stories of miners who came to wet their whistles on Main Street more than 100 years ago. The sign hanging over the entrance reads “America’s Last Authentic Miners Organization of Debauchery.”

The scene can range from those quenching their thirst after an epic day outside to longtime locals — with their silver hair and popped Polo shirt collars — gathering to reminisce about the days gone by and “what once was.”

The Food

The bar has everything from mozzarella sticks and nachos to its signature tater tots, offered “sweet,” “stab ’n grab” or “loaded” — the latter including bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, jalapeños and chopped parsley. Many Friday nights have ended at No Name with an order of loaded tater tots.

We suggest kicking things off with the world-famous buffalo burger — voted “Best Burger” by the Best of Park City annual awards so many times that the staff has lost count. You can order your buffalo burger five ways. Each is made with a half pound of ground buffalo meat, dripping with goodness and served with house-made buffalo chips (signature chips served up with No Name’s very own Southwestern-style salsa). In addition to No Name’s robust list of spirits, its drink menu also features Utah distilleries and breweries and changes seasonally.

The Annex

No Name is “the bar that made Park City famous,” with good, warm-your-belly comfort food and a laid-back, fun atmosphere. You’ll find people from all walks of life and every background — unless you’re not 21. And if that’s the case, you are in luck, because Diversified Bars & Restaurants (DBR), the locally owned company that runs No Name Saloon, opened a family- friendly eatery next door called Annex Burger with the same menu.

DBR saw a need for more family dining establishments on Main Street, and thus the Annex was born, with the motto “Kids are people too.” Annex’s menu offers everything No Name serves, but with the addition of kid-friendly items such as sliders, quesadillas, chicken fingers and corn dogs.

The Rooftop

Don’t miss the upstairs area, where you’ll find a heated rooftop — the crown jewel of No Name where you can take in the sweeping views of Main Street nightlife. The rooftop patio is open 365 days a year, rain or shine, and boasts two big-screen televisions, a bar, music and heat lamps to stay warm during the winter months. No visit to Park City is complete without enjoying a beverage, or two, on the rooftop bar at No Name Saloon.
