Owl Bar

Wasatch Mountains


Built of cast-off barn wood, the centerpiece of the Owl Bar is a century-old bar where the real Butch Cassidy once drank. The place looks like a Wild West roadhouse, but it's full of art freaks, mountain hipsters and local cowboys imbibing by a roaring fireplace. On Friday and Saturday there's often live music.
