I rarely leave reviews, but our experience at The Owl Bar at Sundance was such a disaster that I feel others should be warned. First, they charge a $5 cover fee for no reason whatsoever, you don’t get anything for it. Supposedly it’s for live music, but if you sit outside you can’t even hear it, so it’s just profit-taking. The food was worse than the fee. My husband ordered a burger, and not only did they mess up his order (bringing his sweet potato fries separately), but he ended up with massive diarrhea afterward. My own order was completely wrong, it came covered in dairy, which I had specifically mentioned I am allergic to. I couldn’t eat it, so my entire dinner ended up being just French fries. On top of that, the rest of our food came out 90 minutes later (yes, an hour and a half!). The appetizer of Brussels sprouts was poorly cooked, honestly, my third grader could have done a better job. The kitchen seems to have no clue how to run properly. For the high prices they charge, the service and food quality are unacceptable. I can cook better meals at home without any culinary training. We will never go back, and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Overpriced, disorganized, and simply not worth it.

Tucked near Sundance Resort, this rustic bar is a beloved local hideaway—think cozy logging beams, craft cocktails, and mountain-front charm. It’s a relaxed spot to wind down with a drink after exploring Provo Canyon or Sundance’s trails.

I don’t know what kind of sorcery is happening in the kitchen at The Owl Bar, but I’m convinced the chef is a full-blown wizard. There’s simply no other explanation for food this delicious. Every bite was a perfectly balanced potion of flavor, texture, and creativity — like he waved a wand and summoned the exact dish I didn’t even know I was craving.
As if that wasn’t enough, the service was pure magic. Our waitress Cassie must be clairvoyant. She anticipated our every need before we could even voice them — drinks appeared right when we were thinking about refills, recommendations matched our tastes to a tee, and her timing was absolutely otherworldly. It felt like she was reading our minds (or at least our mood).
Dining at The Owl Bar wasn’t just a meal — it was an enchanting experience from start to finish. Whatever enchantments they’ve got going on back there, I hope they never break the spell.

Open in summer for lunch on Fridays and Saturdays. Simple bar menu. Shared a generous and very well prepared large tray of nachos with fresh home style chips, cheese, black beans, 2 scoops of guacamole, 2 scoops of sour cream, lots of black olives, pico de guayo, picked jalapeños, and grilled chicken breast for $32. Enough for 3 or 4 hungry people. Although we did not try it, the gourmet burger with fries looked amazing for about $27. Pricing competitive with Park City resort restaurants.
Sit inside or better yet sit outside on patio with umbrellas surrounded by the tall trees. Excellent service. Weekend parking is tight.

We had such an incredible experience at the Owl Bar thanks to Olivia! She was absolutely amazing, so personable, attentive, and easy to talk to. She made us feel genuinely welcomed and added such a fun, warm energy to our evening. You can tell she cares about the guests and takes pride in what she does. Olivia truly made our visit memorable, and we’ll definitely be back because of her. Thank you, Olivia!

We went to Sundance on a whim, having never eaten there and having heard good things. We were going to get into one of the other restaurants initially, as it was our anniversary, but the wait times workout a reservation we're long. So we went into the Owl Bar and ended up being glad we did. Another reviewer mentioned the burger, so we got that with the extra avocado & bacon option, and split that along with a plate of the Dirty Fries (plenty of food for the two of us). And wow! I had only taken a few bites before telling my husband I would be fantasizing about the burger later. It was one of the best I've ever had, and the fries were amazing. Our server was kind and gracious. It was a little warm when we were there for outside seating so we were inside, which is atmospheric, but misses the mountain beauty. Can't lose either way. We will definitely be back for a repeat of the same.
Recommended dishes: Dirty Fries, Wagyu Burger and Fries

Great stop before enjoying the Bluebird Cafe Concert. Nachos are a great shareable plate. Tasty drinks to get the buzz started. Ike was amazing taking care of our party of 8 out on the deck.
The Owl Bar is a bar next to the general store at Sundance Resort. It's easy to get to from the front area and parking here is ok depending on how busy the resort is. It's got an old west theme to it inside, with about 2 dozen tables mixed between inside and outside. Their menu isn't massive but they do have some delicious things on there like the nachos, however the price per portion is a bit high (but that's a resort for you). The service is great with bartenders like Andrew and Sage, with everything coming out at a good pace and tasty drinks made. Overall it's a cool spot to grab a drink or some food.

Poor management . Personally talked to him. He was very rude after after over 700.00 in tips for dinner. One of the worst establishments when it comes to high end experiences I’ve seen. This establishment would never survive out of Utah.
