The Mint Bar in Sheridan, Wyoming, is as impressive inside as the cowboy neon out front. Although not as expansive as The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar across the state in Jackson and certainly not fancy, it holds its own on a per capita basis.
It is not exactly classic wild west, but with your leather cowboy boots and all, this place looks like it fast.
The place was hopping Monday evening. People come here to drink — there is no food — to talk, and many to smoke. The wall across from the bar is covered with complimentary clippings and the booths in the back are exceptional (see below).
We knew about this place before we reached Sheridan, so this wasn’t exactly a lucky discovery. Nonetheless it surpassed expectations, including the beer — eight taps, two of them serving Alaskan Amber and New Belgium Fat Tire.
