    I have only previously had the pleasure to visit the Sundance area during the winter season to enjoy dinner at The Tree Room, but I had not yet had the opportunity to visit during the summer! After this recent visit, I plan to come here much more frequently during the summer! My husband and I had just finished hike and were actually heading to The Foundry Grill when we had realized The Owl Bar was already open. The bar is all open seating, including the outside, so we took a chance and were able to find some seating in the shade which was great! The outdoor patio was so peaceful and the scenery around was absolutely beautiful. We ordered a couple appetizers and some drinks which all turned out great! I did ask our waitress a couple strange questions, like if they made the prickly pear juice in house or if it's a purchased syrup, so kudos to her for being so kind to my strangeness, hahaha. I did still go ahead and order the Prickly Pip and my worry was confirmed (the syrup was a bit heavy on the sweetness), but the other elements of the drink helped to balance that out a bit. I also ordered just a classic Lime Margarita, and that drink was executed very well! Very refreshing in the summer heat. As for our appetizers, we noticed that many people had ordered the Nachos, so we did as well. Nachos are one of my favorite staple appetizers, and I loved these ones especially. Good distribution of the toppings and I also really enjoyed the black beans were partially mashed! The star of our whole meal had to have been the Fried Pickles!! I decided last minute that we would grab an order of the Fried Pickles, and I can confidently say that it would have been a mistake if we did not!! The breading on the pickle was so light and simultaneously had a slight crunch to it. Quite possibly the best fried pickle that I have ever consumed. Also, the chipotle aioli dipping sauce was incredible. It had a nice spice to it and wasn't so heavy that it would take away from the bright flavor of the pickle; the two paired together was so complimentary. Overall, I am so glad we stumbled into the bar so we could enjoy this meal! Would very much recommend visiting during the summer (I bet even late summer and early fall would be outstanding). Cannot wait to return!!

    What a fun, cool bar . This is my second time here had a smoky mezcal drink and the loaded nachos with steak- so delicious. Our bartenders were a lot of fun as well.

    My overall grade for The Owl Bar is: A Firstly, please sit outside if at all possible. The view is epic and really, that canyon is really why people go to Sundance. There are hummingbirds flying all over feeding at the feeders. The creek next to the bar is running just as fast as possible. Drinks: spot-on. All of their cocktails are great. Food: great stuff. The wagyu burger is amazing. Cooked just right. The sweet potato fries were great and I don’t care for sweet potatoes. Best I have had. Also ordered chicken wings & a wedge salad. Both were very good. A small detail, there were only drum sticks and no flats in our order of wings. Hmm. Service: excellent. Our server was great, friendly & efficient. Everyone outside was having a great time. Highly recommended!!
