Editorial Review for Mother Urban's Ratskeller – by Jason Esplin
The Scene
The namesake tells a bit about the bar--Rachel Urban was a turn-of-the-century madam who weighed 200 pounds, had a pegleg and carried a profanity-spewing parrot on her shoulder. True to its heritage, the atmosphere manages to feel a bit like an upscale miner's pub: It's fashioned out of worn, comfortable wood and rock masonry. A limited variety of food is available, but people seem to love the locally produced burritos that are microwaved for your pleasure. The bar is stocked with a great selection of bottled beer from 17 countries, as well as a decent selection of spirits.
The Draw
Mother Urban features live music, usually jazz, funk or acoustic, Thursday through Saturday. The dance floor is small, but there's plenty of seating, including a couple of cozy leather couches near the back.

A TREASURE...Easily the best nightclub in Park City! Great jazz and blues bands on weekends. Terrific staff...very friendly. The owner Michael is a Harvard educated professor and a great guy! Try the "shot ski" an antique ski with shot glasses! Great ambiance...leather couches, cozy decor, historic decorations. Underground on the corner of Main St. and Heber Ave.
Pros: nice staff, cozy ambiance, fun!

There are several cozy niches to sink into, if you're not keen to the lively bar scene. Live music and a small dance floor add to the fun. It's dark, comfortable and lively as opposed to sleek and trendy.
Pros: Cozy bar
Cons: Crowded on weekends
