Kerouac's

Top choice in Great Basin National Park


Coming upon Kerouac's after all those miles is a happy moment indeed. Menu highlights include wood-fired pizzas with organic mozzarella and locally foraged herbs. These, along with inventive cocktails from the bar (try the East of Ely), are best-in-class for eastern Nevada. This place is as delightful a hidden gem as Great Basin National Park itself.
