Things to Know About Liquor Laws in Utah
- Utah liquor laws have come a long way in recent years. Today they are very similar to the liquor laws in Washington State (where I'm from) and really aren't an inconvenience at all.
- Liquor is sold in state-run liquor stores (same as in Washington state and others) which are closed on Sundays. Prices are a little higher than some other states such as AZ, but are actually lower than they are in WA.
- Even though liquor stores are closed on Sundays you can still buy beer in grocery stores on Sunday (and every other day).
- Beer in grocery stores and beer on tap is always 3.2% alcohol by weight. (This is equivalent to 4.0% alcohol by volume which is how every single other beer is measured.)
- For non-3.2 beer shop at the liquor store. The liquor stores stock all the good beer you'd expect and they are all at their regular alcohol percentages. However they aren't in coolers so plan a little ahead.
- The liquor store by The Market is the closest to the condo. It's the largest liquor store in Utah and features a wonderful wine selection.
- In restaurants drinks are limited to 1.5 ounces per drink. This is fine for most drinks except maybe martinis which look more like mar-teeny-weenies.
- In nightclubs and bars you can have 1.5 ounces of each type of liquor; e.g. a saketini comes with an ounce and a half of sake and an ounce and a half of vodka.
- Park City has a local distillery called High West that also features an excellent restaurant.
- Park City also has a free shuttle system that picks you up and drops you off right outside the condo parking lot, so ride the free shuttle and drink without any worries of driving under the influence. Cheers!
