As Sundance descends on Park City (Jan. 18 — 28), many restaurants and bars alter their hours and close for special events. This means you may not be able to get a seat at your favorite restaurant when you’re famished after trying to get a glimpse of Pedro Pascal at a premier screening. But we’ve got a list of restaurants that will remain open to to the general public during Sundance, and you won’t even need to know Geico Caveman’s agent to get a table.
As a general rule, the farther you are from the festival’s Main Street epicenter, the more likely you are to get a seat without waiting for hours or proving you’re an indie-film insider, so local favorites like 11 Hauz, Vessel Kitchen and Versante are a good bet. That said, big crowds of hungry film buffs mean things can change in a hurry. It’s recommended to call in advance for a reservation or to make sure normal hours are still scheduled even for the restaurants listed below.
The Sundance Film Festival starts on Thursday, Jan. 18 and ends on Sunday, Jan. 28. Fill up before you head to the theater, lest your grumbling stomach distract the audience during the tense silence at the climactic center of one of this year’s dramatic masterpieces.
