Where to Grab a Drink: St. George Breweries and Wineries
Utah's dry reputation is outdated. Where to find local craft beer, estate wine, and a good cocktail around St. George.
Utah's reputation for being dry is outdated, and Southern Utah has quietly grown a real craft-drink scene. If you want a local beer, an estate wine, or a good cocktail, here is where to go around St. George.
Silver Reef Brewing
Silver Reef Brewing Company is the big one, Southern Utah's largest craft brewery, pouring seasonal beers alongside wines from the family's own estate vineyard grown high in the mountains above town. Their Craft & Kitchen taproom is the spot for beer, wine, and food under one roof.
Zion Brewery
Zion Brewery was the area's first microbrewery. You will find its Station 2 Bar on Main Street in downtown St. George, and the original Zion Canyon Brew Pub over in Springdale at the mouth of Zion if you are headed that way.
Cocktails downtown
For a night out, the Spiritual Cocktail Parlor is a speakeasy-style bar downtown with a deep spirits list and a reputation as one of the best bars in Southern Utah. Hive 435 Tap House is another solid downtown option with food and a rotating tap list.
A wine-country detour
If you want the full vineyard experience, it is worth the short drive out toward Leeds and the wineries in the countryside east of town, where you can taste on a patio with the red rock as a backdrop.
Utah has its own liquor laws and hours, so check before you go, but the short version is that you can absolutely find a good drink in St. George now.
