Restaurant & Bar in Washington, UtahOn the 11th & 12th at Green Spring

No. Back Nine Bistro & Bar is open to the public. Anyone can walk in, sit at the bar or a table, and order — you do not need a room at the Residence Inn St. George. Park in the free lot and come in through the main hotel entrance.

Back Nine Bistro & Bar is on the ground floor of the Residence Inn St. George at 84 N Primavera Lane, Washington, UT 84780. It's just off Interstate 15, roughly five minutes from downtown St. George, and it backs onto the 11th and 12th holes of Green Spring Golf Course. Enter through the hotel's main lobby doors — the bar is immediately to the side of the lobby.

Back Nine Bistro & Bar opens at 5:00 PM every day. We close at 10:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and stay open until 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. The kitchen takes its last order 30 minutes before close — 9:30 PM most nights, 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday. We are closed during the day — evening service only. Holiday hours may differ, so call (435) 900-1250 if you're planning around a holiday.

Yes — a full bar with rotating Utah craft beer on tap, bottled and canned beer, wine by the glass, and cocktails. Valid photo ID is required; you must be 21 or older to be served.

Where you sit changes the rules. Under Utah law, if you are seated in the dining room, alcohol must be ordered alongside food. At the bar itself there is no food requirement — you are welcome to come in just for a drink. So if you only want a beer or a cocktail, take a seat at the bar.

Non-alcoholic beer, mocktails and soft drinks are available with no restrictions.

Yes. There is a large patio off the dining room with lounge seating, shaded tables and gas fire pits, looking out over the golf course toward the red rock. The fire pits are lit most evenings, and the patio stays comfortable well into the cooler months — it is one of the better places in Washington to sit outside after sunset. Patio seating is first come, first served, and leashed dogs are welcome out there.

Yes — there is a free surface parking lot directly outside the entrance, with no garage, no meters and no validation needed. Accessible parking spaces are located nearest the main doors. Larger vehicles and trucks with trailers can generally be accommodated in the outer rows.

Yes. Children are welcome in the dining area at any time when accompanied by an adult, and there is a kids menu — the Lil’ Birdie cheese quesadilla, Par-Saratops dinosaur nuggets, and the Tee Time Toastie grilled cheese, all $8 and served with fries or chips. Mocktails are $5–$7. Seating directly at the bar itself is limited to guests 21 and over, as required by Utah law.

Back Nine Bistro & Bar is walk-in seating — no reservation needed. For groups of eight or more, or for a private buyout, call (435) 900-1250 in advance and we'll do our best to hold space for you.

It is inexpensive for a sit-down restaurant with a full bar. Starters, sandwiches, flatbreads and salads run $10–$14, desserts are $9, and every item on the kids menu is $8. Nothing on the food menu is over $14.

At the bar, draft beer is $7–$9 for 16 oz and $11–$13 for 24 oz, bottles and cans are $5–$13, wine by the glass is $10–$12, cocktails are $13–$16 and mocktails are $5–$7. Two people can eat and have a drink each for around $50 before tax and tip. Prices are current as of August 2026.

Yes, there are vegetarian options in every section. On the food menu: the Par-Tee Hummus with warm pita and vegetables, Chips & Salsa, The Wedge Quesadilla, and the Three Peaks Cheese flatbread. On the kids menu: the Lil’ Birdie Quesadilla and the Tee Time Toastie grilled cheese. All four desserts are vegetarian, and the Assorted Fruit Plate is vegan.

Food prepared in our kitchen may contain milk, eggs, wheat, soybean, peanuts and tree nuts. Some dishes can be modified — ask your server, and tell them about any allergy before you order. Our kitchen is small and shared, so we cannot guarantee a fully allergen-free preparation.

We back directly onto the course — the 11th and 12th holes of Green Spring Golf Course run along the property. The Green Spring clubhouse itself is about half a mile north, roughly a two-minute drive. Sky Mountain Golf Course, Coral Canyon Golf Course and Sand Hollow Resort are each within about a 10 to 20 minute drive. Golf attire is always fine.

Downtown St. George and Utah Tech University are both about 8 minutes away, and Snow Canyon State Park is roughly 20 minutes. Zion National Park's south entrance at Springdale is around 45 minutes northeast on Highway 9. St. George Regional Airport is about 20 minutes south.

Takeout is available for the full menu — call (435) 900-1250 to order ahead and pick up at the bar. We do not currently offer our own delivery service.

Yes. The bar has televisions and we'll happily put on a game if you ask. It's a relaxed room — expect conversation volume rather than a sports-bar roar.
