Shooting Star Saloon

Top choice in Wasatch Mountains


Open since 1879, tiny Shooting Star is Utah's oldest continuously operating saloon. Seek this place out: the cheeseburgers – and cheap beer – are justifiably famous, though none so much as the 'starburger,' featuring a Polish knockwurst on top. For small appetites, there's a miniburger. Cash only.
