Where would we be without our dear old dads? Thankfully, we get a chance at least once every year to celebrate and appreciate our fathers, on Father’s Day, which is just a week or so away. If you’re considering dining out with dad on Father’s Day, here are some tasty options.
If you’re looking for a special treat for dad on Father’s Day, the folks at Park City’s Alpine Pie Bar have some suggestions. Stop in from Noon to 6 p.m. on Father’s Day for the perfect gift – whiskey aroma games, VSSL flasks, apparel, or the limited release of Alpine Distilling’s Triple Oak Whiskey available only at the retail store at the Alpine Pie Bar.
