The alley sports pub and grill

Interior of a bowling alley and bar area in Arches National Park.

Moab’s Alley Sports Pub and Grill hits the spot with a no-nonsense, sport-bar vibe. The New Mexico Burger lands with a juicy bite and peppery kick; Chicken Wings deliver a crisp snap and a hot finish. The Sampler Platter stacks cheese sticks and mini fried mac & cheese into bold, textural bites with generous portions. It’s a solid, no-frill pub joint that nails hearty fare away from the usual tourist traps.
