Steve Maxwell set out to make the sequel to his Sidecar nightclub in ParkCity the premier local hangout. But the New Jersey-born restaurateur was careful not to pigeonhole his new creation. One part neighborhood bar, one part family restaurant and one part after-hours ultra lounge, Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery is now making its many marks on ParkCity’s newest lifestyle center, NewparkTownCenter.
The openly-designed, 4,000-square-foot hybrid venue caters to a wide audience, with 12 plasma TVs and bay windows across the 130-foot storefront. Maxwell’s lounge opens up to a 3,000-square-foot deck, overlooking the retail center’s focal point, SunCalendarPlaza. After hours, the venue transforms itself from a family restaurant into a lounge club with guest DJs and live music.
“The idea with Maxwell’s was to make it a comfortable place for everybody. Sure, people can come and watch a game, but I didn’t want it to be just a sports bar,” said Maxwell. “It’s a great location, one we think the locals will see as the new hangout. And if you can create a happening spot for locals then you’ll draw the tourists.”
Maxwell’s is located at 1456 W. Newpark Blvd, inside the Newpark Hotel which is part of the 38-acre NewparkTownCenter development. Set at the opening of the 1,200-acre Swaner Nature Preserve, the plaza features public art displays, fire pits, and outdoor seating where friends and neighbors can gather. It also features a community amphitheater where live music and theater will play out before a picturesque backdrop of the surrounding mountains.
“Maxwell’s versatility really captures the essence of Newpark,” said Nick Hannon, senior vice president of Las Vegas-based Territory Incorporated, the firm co-developing NewparkTownCenter’s retail component. “Steve’s ability to mold these components into one destination offers a truly unique experience.”
