    This place lives up to its iconic name. The basement serves as a fancier sit down restaurant with plenty of steak options while the upstairs includes live bands and a typical saloon Wild West setting. Weekends are very busy and if you dine at the restaurant, you can free entry to the bar upstairs (and can skip the line). We had a reservation but we still had to wait an additional 30 minutes to our table being ready for a party of 8.

    I stopped into the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming, for lunch on July 21 with my sister. The historic bar is known for its Old West decor and saddle barstools, which give the place a genuine Wyoming vibe. Inside, the atmosphere was lively, and the woodwork and quirky decorations were a highlight, giving visitors a good sense of place. Unfortunately, service left a lot to be desired during our visit. Most of the staff seemed disengaged and unhappy, except for the one waitress handling the floor by herself—she was the only one who managed a smile. It was clear she had her hands full, and that might explain the slow and inattentive service, but it didn’t improve the overall experience. The food was disappointing. I ordered the Bison burger with fries, as shown in my photo. The fries arrived cold, and the burger itself was barely warmed through. It didn’t have much flavor, and to be honest, I’ve had better at a fast food chain. My sister chose a hamburger with a side salad, and her reaction was about the same—nothing special, not worth the price. Given the Cowboy Bar’s reputation and the premium you pay for the location, the meal didn’t measure up. Overall, the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is worth a stop for a drink or just to see the unique decor and soak up a bit of Jackson’s history—the building dates back to the 1930s and is practically an institution in town. But if you’re looking for a good meal or friendly service, I’d look elsewhere. I’d recommend this place for folks interested in atmosphere and novelty, not for anyone focused on food quality or attentive service.

    My wife and I dropped by for a cocktail and the live music early JUL 2025. It is a fairly large bar - not as Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth - but still large. It has the famous bars with saddles to sit on - an attractive and interesting feature of the bar. The bars are not well manned, so a few bartenders are working hard to keep customers happy. There is a stage at the back of the bar. And in front of that a dance floor. Even when the live band is playing you can still make a conversation. Overall a nice experience here.

    Okay well obviously taking photos outside is a must. Walking out of the bar and onto the streets to see fireworks was beautiful BUT no one really wants to serve you. Seems like they’re just trying to push you away from the bar instead of keeping a tab open for the night. I had this happen with 2 different bartenders. They do know how to make their drinks strong though. Super super packed and wouldn’t recommend to anyone who is not into that scene. The dance floor is too small and honestly I wish they had a mechanical bull.

    We visited this restaurant last night and I must say the experience was very positive. You can’t make reservations, but when we arrived, we had no trouble finding a table. The venue features four pool tables, providing a fun way to pass the time before or after dinner. There’s also a very distinctive wooden bar, decorated with antlers above it. The seating is designed like cowboy saddles, adding to the authentic Western atmosphere, which is mostly frequented by people dressed in cowboy attire. As for the drinks, prices are slightly above average. When you head down to the actual dining area, the ambiance shifts dramatically, becoming much more elegant. Here too, prices are on the higher side, but they are fully justified by the excellent quality of the ingredients and the care put into both the presentation and the substance of the dishes. Both visually and in terms of flavor, the food was outstanding. For the first time since arriving in the United States, I can honestly say I ate exceptionally well: they truly know how to cook. I had a duck filet with blueberry sauce, while my dining companions chose steaks, which were also of excellent quality. The wine list is quite good, offering a selection of Italian and French wines. Although the prices are a bit steep—likely influenced by recent political tariffs—the quality of the wine was excellent. In conclusion, it was a wonderful experience, and I would happily return.
