The interior blends rustic wood tones with weathered stone accents, echoing the rugged exterior, while large windows frame sweeping views of snow-capped peaks—reminders of the dramatic backdrop that defines the region. “This isn’t just a spot to grab a drink,” says regular patron and outdoor guide Ryan Hall. “It’s the place we discuss the season’s weather, plan expeditions, or unwind after hours with stories over shared bottles.” The open layout encourages conversation, and the bar frequently hosts live acoustic music, poetry readings, and local art showcases—events that deepen community ties and enrich the cultural fabric of Jackson Hole.

<> Deep within its operations lies a quiet revolution—one defined by sustainability and transparency. Jackson Hole Bar sources 80% of its ingredients from within 100 miles, partnering with family farms, foragers, and independent distillers across Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. “We treat every supplier like a collaborator,” explains owner Amelia Torres, who began the bar a decade ago with a vision to honor the land.

“Our menu changes with the seasons not just for flavor, but to reduce environmental impact and support local resilience.” The bar’s zero-waste initiative includes composting organic spent ingredients, repurposing glassware and produce scraps, and using biodegradable straws made from locally sourced bamboo. These practices reflect a broader movement among Wyoming’s hospitality leaders: sustainability isn’t a trend here—it’s a legacy.

Display shelves feature rare books on mountain ecology and local topography, while seasonal “Bar Cellars” host monthly talks by geologists, historians, and Indigenous storytellers. A recent collaboration with the National Museum of Wildlife Art brought “Surrounded by Nature,” a guided tasting series linking cocktail ingredients to regional wildlife and plant life. “Whether you’re just passing through or celebrating a milestone, there’s a chance to learn something meaningful,” says bar manager Jake Reynolds, who leads a weekly session on identifying native desert plants through their scent and texture.

This fusion of education and experience turns a casual visit into an engaging encounter with the land itself.
< More than a bar, Jackson Hole Bar stands as a living testament to the evolving soul of Jackson Hole—a place where frontier history; artisanal craft; and environmental stewardship converge. What began as a modest gathering spot for cowboys and outdoor enthusiasts has grown into a destination that captures the essence of the American West in refined, modern form.

Its location beneath the Tetons isn’t just scenic—it’s symbolic, embedding the bar into the
