Zion Canyon Brew Pub

Dining★ 4.3
Zion Canyon Brew Pub at Zion National Park sits beneath towering red rock formations.

The Elk Burger delivers a juicy, gamey bite with solid char, while Pub Fries crunch under a blanket of beer cheese. Pub Pretzel Sticks snap when dunked in a sharp, homemade mustard. The outdoor patio puts Zion’s rock-and-river backdrop to work, and the Summer Berry Salmon salad stays crisp after a hike. This joint mixes casual dining with a beer-forward menu that travels well after a day in thepark.
