The Gorge Bar and Grill

Known For
Patio that catches the late desert sun like a sundial
The Gorge Bar and Grill makes the most of its outdoor seating with golden hour light that sweeps across the patio in a way that justifies the instagrammable tag entirely. The moody atmosphere inside offers a strong counterpoint when the evenings cool down.
🕐Best time to visit: Just before sunset on a clear evening
Our Take
The Gorge Bar and Grill trades on a moody outdoor atmosphere that benefits heavily from the surrounding high-desert landscape and golden evening light. The score reflects a spot with a strong setting and a broad audience — accessible and atmospheric, if not particularly distinctive.
