Summit County is full of exciting and diverse nightlife options. The incredible draw of the resort mixed with the world-class cultural offerings it boasts make lay the groundwork for one of the most thriving after-dark scenes you’ve ever been a part of. From traditional après-ski bars to swanky, sexy lounges and clubs to intimate, bouncing live music venues, Summit County has it all. Most venues have coat checks, but some do not – so be prepared to carry your jacket, or bring one that you don’t mind stashing in a secret place and hoping no one else finds. If you plan to hit a dance club – think layers! It can be very warm on a packed dance floor, but you’ll still have to brave the walk to the car/cab at the end of the night. Check online or with a concierge for a listing of the live music and special events, as there is always something “happening.” If you plan to drink – be sure to assign a designated driver. If you plan to use taxi services, make sure to plan ahead. The services can be very busy around dinner time, and again around last call at 2am. And don’t forget the free bus service – see “transportation” for more.
