If there’s one thing that is a pet peeve of mine when I travel, is to go to a new location and find all the same (corporate) eating and shopping establishments everywhere I go. When I arrive at a new destination, I want to experience that part of the country. I want local food, unique shops and to experience the culture of that region. So imagine my joy when I set my eyes on the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole, WY.
The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is a local establishment located in the downtown square in Jackson Hole with a western cowboy motif, including a large collection of western memorabilia, unique knobbled pine architecture, cowboy murals, animal mounts, and my favorite, genuine saddle barstools.
This is one of those places where there is no pretense, it’s an extremely comfortable atmosphere. I was able to order a local Jackson Hole Pale Ale along with a great burger.
The local crowd rolls in, orders their drink and grabs a pool stick to relax from their long day.
I was there in the early evening, but the Cowboy Bar offers live music and I wouldn’t doubt if I missed a good brawl or two by the end of the evening. 
This is my idea of tasting the local culture. I will certainly be visiting the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar again when I am in the area ~ and I’ll be sure to save you a saddle!
Great saddle stools.
Great saddle stools – would have loved to take one or two home!
Oh that’s going on my bucket list!
By your profile picture, it looks like it’s a must! A guaranteed good time.
Yes, I like the saddle stools too….if you have one too many and get woozy, you can hold on to the horn
LOL! I knew I liked you Angeline!
Looks like a great place to visit… agree with the corporate establishments… hate them… seek out the oddities they’re the best…
Exactly!
Oooohhhh, the Ale looks delicious!! Great photos.
It was a good Ale.
Ahhhhhh…..Home…..you did order a Long Neck Bud didn’t you?
Oh darn, no….next time.
!!!!!!!! You will fit right in……otherwise…yeah…they know…tourist!!!!
Love It! I actually sat on a saddle at the bar when I was there – it was fun:)
While I was there, a group of a bunch of girlfriends all sat in a row and took a picture. I bet that came out really cute! It’s a fun place.
I sat in those saddle bar stools; it is a great place…chock full of character and characters.
I nominated you for an award check it out- http://fromdreamingtoreality.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/who-me-i-really/
thank you so much! I will take a look at the link. I very much appreciate you stopping by and your kind gesture.
My kind of place… yeah, I can still sit a saddle…
LOL! Oh I bet you can and probably better than most of us! I mean, we are talking about a Texas girl here, right?
I’m from North Carolina. Although I’ve lived in Texas since 1976, I am not a Texan in any sense of the word. I think you have to be born here!
