Gold: The Stagecoach Bar

The Stagecoach Bar was established at the base of Teton Pass in Wilson, Wyoming, in 1942. Since then it has been the local watering hole for skiers, ranchers, hippies, millionaires, and cowboys alike. Since 1969 the world-famous Stagecoach Band has been playing swing dance music at the bar every single Sunday night (regulars call it Church). Thursday is Disco Night, drawing a crowd of young souls sporting their finest sequins, bell-bottom jeans, and multi-colored wigs. On the other side of the building you’ll find the famous Streetfood restaurant, one of Jackson Hole’s hidden gems. All told, the Stagecoach is more than just a small-town bar–it is a place for the community to socialize, eat & drink, and boogie all night long.

The Silver Dollar Bar & Grill is located in Jackson Hole’s historic Wort Hotel, which opened its doors in 1941. The Silver Dollar Bar is a fixture of the nightlife in downtown Jackson and is one of the best places for live music and dancing. Stop in on Tuesday nights for Bluegrass night to get your swing on, and try sipping a Wyoming Mule.
