Park City Live

Saw Everest and Minus the Bear here last week. First time to the venue and to Park City. Good sized place, I liked it enough. Acoustics were decent. It was easy to get to either bar but they didn't have an amazing selection of rum. They had a lot of other things. Good rum was not in the hizouse. And that's what I like. So I was disappointed.

Also, since it is Utah, they pour you exactly what you are allowed to receive, and that's it. It took forever to get drunk. Thanks, Utah.

I've seen LMAFO and also Deadmau5 during Sundance there and I saw the Punch Brothers there not during Sundance, either way it is always super crowded.  If you can go the route of getting a table instead of standing in the middle, I would suggest that.

Park City Live is a great little venue nestled in the otherwise cozy town of Park City.  Despite the insanity going on during Sundance Film Festival, event staff were friendly, giving us a full play by play of the weekend's headliners.

Unfortunately, because this place is the only game in town (or perhaps even the state), prices for seemingly typical acts in larger NYC venues are MUCH more expensive at Park City Live than they are in NYC.  I get it - you can't compare Manhattan with Park City, Utah, but shouldn't the same performances be CHEAPER here than in NYC?

Case in point - during Sundance Film festival, for example, Nervo was spinning on Wednesday night, with a $40 cover/ticket charge.  On Thursday, they had Kaskade for $100.  For comparative purposes, Armin Van Buuren (ranked consistently by DJ Mag as the BEST DJ on the PLANET) was spinning on New Year's Eve in NYC, with general admission tickets going for as little as $135.  New Year's Even people... 'nuff said.

Prices aside Park City Live still deserves four stars for two reasons (1) - Nice venue with large dance floor and upstairs areas that's clubby but not too "warehouse-y" and (2) All exits are NOT final!  As others noted, you can leave for some cheaper (and likely stronger) drinks and come back here when you're ready to resume dancing your tails off!
